Chapter 446 Experience Transfer
When Bobby saw the undead entering the big house in the village, his heart tightened and he subconsciously walked towards the big house.
The people around seemed to have been waiting for someone to take the lead. As soon as Bobby moved, the others followed suit.
The undead who did not enter the big house looked in the direction of the crowd, and suddenly there were two strange "click" sounds, and more undead poured into the big house.
"The atmosphere team is here! There is definitely something wrong with this place, everyone look carefully!"
…The player who noticed the villagers approaching gave his friends a positive reminder.
There were many undead staying outside the big house, and not all of them went in; because of these undead, the villagers who bravely approached did not dare to get too close, and stopped timidly when they were several dozen meters away.
Bobby was very worried about the situation in the big house, but he never had the courage to take the initiative.
Seeing injustice and helping others with swords only exists in a small number of brave warriors with sharp weapons, or when the other party has aroused public anger; for ordinary people, when most people encounter similar situations, they will subconsciously consider whether rashly stepping in will endanger themselves.
The large number of undead were all equipped with weapons, which were enough to intimidate the unarmed villagers. In addition, the undead entered the village twice, and although it cannot be said that they did not harm anyone, at least they did not show any clear attacking behavior towards the villagers. It was far from being a public outrage, and it was not at all to the extent that it could force people to fight to the death without any consequences.
The other villagers had a similar mentality to Bobby. Although they all looked worried, they just watched nervously and whispered to each other: "Oh no, the undead have surrounded this place..."
"Are these undead spirits coming for the believers?"
"Oh my God, I hope they don't hurt the believers..."
The crowd whispered for a while, and gradually some people realized that something was wrong and muttered, "Strange, why is it so quiet in there?"
When these words were spoken, the villagers who were watching nervously were all stunned.
Isn’t it true? When the undead broke into their homes, which family wasn’t frightened and screamed, and many people even knocked over their own tables and chairs?
But this time the undead had been in the house for almost two or three minutes, and not even a single sound of shouting or collision was heard from inside.
"Could it be that the elders of the church are not here? Did they go to town?" a villager asked curiously.
"No, I saw two believers coming out of Martha's house this morning," said another villager.
"Yes, the believers came to my house to ask when the grain that was shortchanged last month can be replenished." A village woman named Martha was also in the crowd.
"At noon, the religious adults came to my house to collect beans to feed the donkey." Another villager testified.
The village is so small, and the religious adults are very different from the villagers. Anyone with eyes can recognize them and there is no way they can be mistaken. So many people have seen them, which proves that these religious adults must be in the village and have not gone to the town.
A group of villagers looked at each other in confusion.
"Could it be that the believers know those undead spirits?" Someone came up with a fantastic idea.
The life of country people is simple and boring. Working day after day and facing heavy pressure of life and taxes make the villagers think about how much work is left to be done in the fields and how long the food stored in the home will be enough to feed the whole family when they open their eyes every day.
No one has the leisure to inquire about the outside world which is too far away from their lives and they will not have many opportunities to contact in their lifetime - whether the lord next door has been changed, whether the black magician threatens the Rhine royal family, whether the Tarantan undead will drive away the lord of Tachia, these are not things that the country people would care about.
This man's proposal gained the support of many villagers. After all, it was too unbelievable that the undead entered the human village without killing or injuring anyone. It was even rarer than bandits entering the village without robbing.
After hearing this, Bobby seemed to have suddenly figured something out. He clapped his hands excitedly and said, "So that's how it is. No wonder these undead won't hurt us!"
Bobby's neighbor also suddenly realized and said happily: "I thought so! They are looking around the village, looking for the believers, right? The dead are not smart and can't talk, so they can only search from house to house!"
The villagers who thought they had guessed the truth the more they talked, looked at the group of hideous and terrifying undead spirits not far away, and their eyes became closer...
Players obviously have no interest in paying attention to the attitude of a group of "yellow-named NPCs" towards them.
While the villagers were enthusiastically discussing "What is the relationship between the cultists and the undead?", Ming Feng Chunpu in the big house was doubting his life: "What's wrong with this broken map? Why are there only resources but no monsters? The resources are so fucking lame!"
In the eyes of the villagers, it is the only big house in the village, but in the eyes of the players, it is just a dilapidated house with earthen walls and wooden beams.
Not to mention comparing it with the large buildings "modeled" casually in the game, any small rural courtyard in China in reality is more comfortable and livable than this shabby house... There is not even running water, and the water has to be obtained from the well in the yard. Apart from occupying a larger area and having more rooms, there is absolutely no highlight!
In such a dull "monster lair", players cannot say that they have not discovered anything... There are still some items (gold coins, accessories, gold and silver utensils) that can be sold to NPCs for recycling.
But for a player who had already plundered several city lords' mansions and countless noble mansions, this kind of wealth accumulated by cheating and squeezing a small village was really not enough...
As for the food piled up in several rooms, it is not considered a resource at all in the eyes of players - NPCs will not recycle it!
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng!" Several players came down the stairs excitedly, holding a cardboard-covered notebook in their hands: "We found something good!"
"The Christian Account Book"
"The evidence of the evil cultists defrauding the villagers of their property in an unknown village can be handed over to the Undead Chamber of Commerce to gain reputation with the Chamber of Commerce."
"The account book contains the name of an evil god that cannot be addressed directly. Handing it over to the Undead Race Resurrection Instructor will earn you reputation with the Mage Guild."
Ming Feng Chunpu's eyes lit up: "Special props?!"
The resources that players loot in the game are divided into two types: special items and ordinary items.
The latter are the most common gold coins, videos, gold and silver utensils and other valuables, which can be handed over to Lao Yang (Yang Qiu's projection clone) in any city or the zombie NPC in the Undead Chamber of Commerce stronghold in any city in exchange for territory reputation/Chamber of Commerce reputation and game coins. They are not very valuable to players.
As for the former, the value is higher... Not only can you exchange it for reputation, but there is also a chance to exchange it for professional guild reputation.
At the beginning, the reputation of the professional guild, like the reputation of the territory, was only useful when changing jobs; after a certain game version was updated online (in fact, Yang Qiu issued an announcement to patch it), the reputation value of the professional guild suddenly increased - it could be exchanged for equipment of the profession from the professional guild NPC!
Among them, the reputation of the Mage Guild is the highest - the reason is that players can seize the equipment of Warriors, Walkers and Knights through battlefield activities, while the mage equipment can only be dropped through special tasks (mainly Night Watch tasks)... Who made the mage NPCs in this game so "designed" to be so powerful that players can't beat them at all!
Yang Qiu had no intention of taking advantage of the wizard players. He launched the service of exchanging professional guild reputation for professional equipment in order to prevent wizard players’ equipment from not keeping up with the rest of the team. However, players don’t have many opportunities to get “special items”, so every time an item that can be exchanged for wizard guild reputation is released, wizard players will still bid up the price like crazy…
With the harvest of this "Cultist Account Book", Mingfeng Chunpu, who failed to defeat the "wild monsters", felt much more balanced.
When a player found eleven sets of replaced cult robes in the basement, proving that the eleven "suspicious NPCs" they had captured were captives who could be exchanged for reputation, Mingfeng Chunpu was in an even better mood.
"It's okay. Even though this wild monster nest is a bit poor, at least it's open for business!"
Leading the players out of the big house, Ming Feng Chunpu, who has the qualities of a team leader, encouraged his friends all the way: "Everyone cheer up and keep working hard. Visit more NPC settlements, and you will definitely find more!"
"Brother Feng, our group will go along the originally planned route first. Call me if you find anything." He said.
"Okay, if there is any situation over there, please let me know in time." Ming Feng said simply.
A group of undead rushed out of the village and joined their friends who were "standing guard" outside the village.
When the players left the village, a few brave villagers who thought these undead were friends of the religious elders curiously followed the large group of undead.
After leaving the village, they saw two groups of undead joining together. They also saw these undead surrounding a group of people who looked very familiar and were tied up like pigs and sheep. These brave villagers stood there in shock as if they had been struck by lightning.
"Oh my God - my Lord!" Bobby held his head in his hands, and the sound of his shattered worldview seemed to ring in his ears.
"Oh my God! Oh my God! It turns out they are not friends of the religious adults!!" Bobby's neighbor beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"When was the cult leader captured by the undead? We didn't see the undead attacking anyone in the village just now!" The villager who first suggested that the undead might be looking for the cult leader said in disbelief, "The undead entered the village twice and clearly didn't attack anyone!"
The players who were auctioning and dividing the spoils looked back in confusion at the "atmosphere group" villagers who were shouting, and then looked away in boredom... It was really hard for players to be interested in such worthless yellow-named NPCs.
The few people who came out of the village did not dare to approach the undead when there were many people around just now. Now that the villagers have dispersed and only a few of them are left, they naturally dare not make trouble. They watched with grief, anger, helplessness, despair and powerlessness as the group of undead surrounded the embarrassed believers, gestured for a while, and carried the people away under their noses.
After dividing the spoils, the players went their separate ways, and Bobby and the others could only watch them leave, trembling all over.
After the dead spirit left, Bobby, his neighbors, and a few brave villagers sobbed silently for a long time, and then returned to the village together.
After seeing the death of the religious leaders, the villagers felt empty inside and didn't know who they could count on to protect the peace of the village.
This small village also has a knight lord, but the villagers have never seen this knight. They only know that this knight lives in the city and serves a noble lord with a higher status.
The knight once sent a butler to the village to be the village chief, but when Bobby was young, the butler was frightened by bandits and ran back to live in the town, and even gave the village chief's house to the believers...
Returning to the big house in despair, Bobby and other villagers prayed silently from the bottom of their hearts, hoping that the lord of the city or the steward or village chief of the town would discover as soon as possible that the believers had been kidnapped by the undead and rescue them.
When the undead left, they did not close the gate of the big house - the wild monster's nest is not an NPC residence, and the player would not be polite enough to help close the door.
Bobby, standing in front of the big house, soon discovered that... in the house with the courtyard door wide open, several rooms with the same open doors were filled with sacks of grain and baskets of potatoes and soybeans.
Bobby was sad, lost and frightened. His eyes gradually became straight and his breathing became heavier and shorter.
Bobby's neighbors, and a few other brave villagers, reacted in exactly the same way as Bobby.
That's food - extremely important food for the country people!
Involuntarily, Bobby took the first step.
Bobby's neighbor followed suit subconsciously.
Several villagers held their breath and walked into the courtyard slowly, carefully and gently.
They are usually not allowed to come to this place, and even if they get close they will be scolded and driven away by the adults in the religion.
At this time, several people walked in and found... There was so much food and so many good things in this big house - curtains, mosquito nets, bed sheets, tablecloths, chair cushions, towels and spare clothes placed on the windowsill. For the country people who usually wear clothes until they are patched up and rotten to the point where they can't be worn out anymore, but still can't bear to throw them away, these are all valuable goods!
Bobby looked at his neighbor and then exchanged glances with several other villagers.
Everyone saw desire in each other's eyes.
Without any prior agreement, the villagers rushed towards the room they had chosen...
Since all the believers have been carried away by the undead, and since this big house has been searched by the undead, it should be okay for them to quietly take away the things that the undead don't want!
Bobby hung a hastily torn curtain around his neck , carried a bag of wheat, and ran home panting.
After taking the wheat and curtains home, Bobby pulled his wife out of the house.
When passing by his sister's house, Bobby did not forget to call his sister and brother-in-law and asked them to go to the big house together to move some things home.
My sister and brother-in-law's eyes lit up, and they didn't forget to call their good neighbors when they went out...
More and more villagers got the news and happily ran out of their homes and rushed to the big house. They silently, quietly, and like thieves, they took away the property that originally belonged to them.
The big house originally belonged to the village chief but later fell into the hands of the believers and was quickly emptied by the villagers...
On the other side, a girl obsessed with studying who came out from the mountains saw Mingfeng Chunpu showing off in the team channel that they had gained something by simply entering an NPC village. She slapped her head and led the people in her group back to the village that their group had passed by not long ago.
This time, the girl who was obsessed with studying didn't just wander around a few times like before and lead the group away without finding anything. Instead, she used Mingfeng's simple experience and went door to door to forcefully visit everyone...
Half an hour later, the girl who was addicted to studying led a group of players who were as ferocious as wolves and tigers, rushed into the most spacious yard in the village, and held down the cultist who was disguised as an ordinary villager, but whose residence was found to have "special props"...
The experience of the group obsessed with studying soon spread to other groups.
The players running around the countryside ran expectantly towards any settlements they found.
Almost all teams made unexpected discoveries when searching the village, and this experience spread among the player groups at a faster speed and soon broke through the blood alliance gap - who doesn't have a few friends from different blood alliances!
Tens of thousands of players and hundreds of large and small player teams entered the northern part of Taqiya Territory, combing through this hot land where the cult breeds like a comb, combing out countless sectarian believers who were hidden in some depth or some shallow at an unimaginable speed...
