Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 23: Human-Pig War
Knowing that I was the one who took the mission, Xiao Lajiao couldn't wait any longer and urged us to set off quickly and complete the mission. Nan Feiyan doted on her, and Afeng and I didn't dare to object, so the matter was decided.
After leaving the Qinglong Restaurant, we didn't go out of the city but turned towards the downtown area. I was wondering, "Did we go in the wrong direction? If we go through another city gate, we will have to take a big detour." Although I haven't been there before, I have a map. I should not be wrong with this skill that even elementary school students know, although their identical actions made me feel a little guilty.
"Brother Dai, let's go buy some items and make some preparations before we set off. You haven't got any equipment yet, so I'll buy you a set. Those wild boars are not easy to deal with. If we weren't more agile , they would have died long ago." It seemed that Little Lajiao had made a big bet and was determined to get the Peacock Feather. Alas, she was a girl after all, and she had special preferences on how to dress herself.
I glanced at Afeng. So, his equipment must have been bought by Xiao La Jiao. I was wondering when he changed his character and was willing to buy these flashy things. It turned out that they were given to him for free. Afeng seemed to be unaware of my gaze and continued to walk forward confidently.
I first visited the armor shop. The general armor includes hats, clothes and shoes. Some other special armor such as gloves, socks, cloaks, etc. are not sold in the armor shop and need to be made by fashion designers. Looking at the light gray thief suit on my body, the thief hat, the thief robe, and the thief boots, I feel different, as if I am much more energetic. Looking at Afeng who has been impatiently changing into the knight suit, it seems that he is not so eye-catching.
In fact, Little Lajiao is a pretty nice person, very well-behaved. When I accompany her to go shopping, she will buy some things for me. When we go to the beauty salon together, I enjoy it too. We played in Shenzhen for more than ten days, and she left a lot of gifts when she left. Now we are doing a mission together, and she even gave me a set of equipment. The generous character of northerners is undoubtedly revealed in Little Lajiao.
Then I went to the jewelry store. Each player can equip two rings and one necklace. They are not very useful in themselves. It mainly depends on their attached properties. The copper ring sold in the store only increases the hit rate by 1%, and the copper necklace only increases the dodge by 1%. But the price is ridiculously expensive. A necklace alone is worth three gold coins, which makes me stunned. In fact, you can also equip two bracelets, but the jewelry store doesn't sell them, so you can only ask the alchemist to make them.
A few golden medicines are also indispensable. Although ordinary pharmacies in "Tianxia" do not sell medicines that restore life and mental strength, the necessary healing and hemostatic medicines are still available for sale. If the wound keeps bleeding and cannot heal, life will continue to slip away. You can neither increase it nor reduce it. Five silver coins each, although it is a bit expensive, it is worth it.
I put a thief iron dagger bought from the weapon shop in my arms. I was finally ready. The equipment of the necromancer was not sold in the store. The other magician equipment was not as effective as the thief equipment on me. It was useless. Moreover, the magician's special weapon, the magic wand, must be made with magic crystals obtained from Warcraft as the most important raw material. It was not sold in ordinary stores. Alas, low-level professions are really useless.
Walking on the road, with Afeng and Xiao Lajiao around, there was constant laughter and joy, so I didn't feel lonely at all. I had a harder time because I had to practice the skills of a thief, and I suffered a lot.
" Ride away from the dust " made me run around busy all the time, making them protest and say they were dizzy, and "Steal something when the opportunity arises" was even more perverted. If successful, it goes without saying that you can get the money or items in the other party's storage belt. The probability depends on the proficiency of this skill and the professional levels of both parties. If you fail, there is a certain probability of being counterattacked by any of the other party's most proficient attack skills, and this is a subconscious instinctive behavior. Even if you are familiar with the other party, don't expect him to show mercy.
I succeeded once, but the next time I was hit by Afeng. Even if I am not equipped with weapons, it still hurts me as a thief. But there is nothing I can do. I can't touch the girl all over. Even if I don't mean it, it always feels bad. Although if they were the two of them, they would hit me less. Now I can only rest for a while, practice "riding away from the dust", wait for my life to recover slowly, and then practice "stealing". My life is so hard. I have two professions and need to practice several skills. How can I not use my time? I don't want to wait until the Church of Light invades and be slaughtered.
Xiao La Jiao's talent skill is "Concentration", which can improve the hit rate. Nan Feiyan's talent skill is "Double Shot", which can send two arrows at a time to attack. Their first-level skills are "Critical Hit", which has a 5% chance of hitting the enemy's vital point. A Feng's talent skill is "Ride", but the pet system is not open now, so it is temporarily useless. His first-level skill is "Thrust", which can increase the attack power by 5%. However, these skills can only be used in combat, while many of our thieves' skills are auxiliary and can be used in non-combat situations. Fighting alone and challenging others head-on will never be the honor of thieves.
Afeng had nothing to lose, so of course he was happy to cooperate with me in practicing skills. He punched me hard and made me look dirty and miserable. But he pretended to be innocent, shouting and claiming that he had no choice but to get out of my way. He was really taking advantage of me, which made Little Pepper laugh all the way. Even the more calm Nan Feiyan was amused several times.
I can only watch it with my eyes, remember it in my heart, and endure it. For the sake of a better tomorrow, these small sacrifices are all worth it. Only by enduring the most hardships, becoming the best person, and doing what others cannot do can you achieve what others cannot do.
We finally arrived at Dawangzhuang, and the village chief welcomed us warmly. We were all acquaintances with Afeng and the other three, so there was no need for any further introductions. After a brief rest, the impatient Little Lajiao called us to start work.
There were five wild boars in total, with long tusks and great strength, which were a threat to us. In addition, they were thick-skinned and strong, and were not afraid of being beaten, so they were really difficult to deal with. Afeng and his friends had suffered enough, and if they had not relied on their slightly faster speed, they would have been killed by the pigs long ago.
After discussing along the way, we had already determined the basic strategy. I, the fastest thief, was responsible for attracting the wild boars' attention and leading them away, while Afeng and the other three would choose the last one to kill with all their strength, defeating them one by one. The whole plan was feasible, but I was the one who suffered the most and was in the most danger. This was not like walking on the street with friends. There were five fierce monsters following behind me. If I was not careful, I might be bitten. But they said I had no experience and deprived me of my right to speak, and asked me to obey the collective decision according to the principle of democratic centralism. Oh, why was I always the one who got hurt!
Not long after I stood guard at the entrance of the village, I saw five wild boars swaggering towards me. Relying on their numbers, they were extremely arrogant. They didn't take me, an undead wizard and thief standing in the middle of the road, seriously at all. They didn't even say hello or show any expression. They just ignored me as if I were nothing and came straight towards me. Isn't this bullying?
My rage grew. Damn it, this beast was too arrogant. It was really like a pig looking down on people. I could be angry, but I didn't want to fight five of them outnumbered. I rushed forward, "accelerated attack", aimed at the largest wild boar leader and stabbed him with a dagger. Then I feinted, turned around and ran away, closed the distance and turned back to fire a "fire phosphorus bomb", which accurately hit the wild boar leader again. The wild boar leader was so angry that he howled and led his three brothers to chase me.
After a fierce battle in the "Dead Space", I have a lot of experience in attracting monsters. I led them around the village and started a marathon-style long-distance run, and occasionally turned back to harass them. Afeng and the other three followed behind to sneak attack the lagging wild boar. Xiao Lajiao and the other two carried out long-range attacks first. The archer's first-level skill "Critical Hit" continuously acted on the wild boar, plus the occasional "double shot", the effect was still very obvious. The sniped wild boar gradually separated from the main force and fell further and further away. At this time, Afeng also rushed up from the side, and the knight's first-level skill "Thrust" attacked recklessly. Three against one, the huge advantage in numbers made up for the slight lack of personal strength. After a melee, the isolated wild boar finally fell down reluctantly.
We killed two more in the same way, but the plan could no longer be implemented. I was just an apprentice thief with a weak constitution. After running for so long, my mental strength could still support me for a while, but my body was already very tired and my physical strength had reached the bottom. I finally experienced what it meant to be overtired and felt the limit of my body. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a bad time. There were a few wild boars following me. I couldn't run any more at this time. Wouldn't it kill me?
Seeing that my speed was obviously slowing down and the wild boar leader was gradually catching up with me and posing a threat to me, Afeng and the others also realized that something was wrong and quickly surrounded me. Seeing me out of breath, they understood everything without much explanation. At this time, the wild boar leader also realized that his brothers were getting fewer and fewer, and there was only one left. He felt something was wrong. No matter how Afeng tempted him, he would not fall for it and turned around to retreat into the mountain. How could this be possible? It was going to run away. How could we complete the mission? So everyone rushed forward and started a fierce head-on conflict.
