Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter 26 Snow Without Flaw
"What is the reward for this task? It should be very generous." Afeng is indeed a veteran player. He asked directly to the point. Without the temptation of huge benefits, who would be willing to gamble their life?
"It's a 'Ten Man Order'."
"Ten Man Order?" A Feng's expression changed. It was obvious that this was a "Ten Man Order" and it might be a very important item. I asked curiously, "What is a 'Ten Man Order'?"
A Feng came back to his senses and explained, "The 'Ten-Man Order' is the lowest-level item in the 'Hero Order' series. It can register the names of ten people. As long as the people carrying the 'Ten-Man Order' are online, they can form a team state, which can increase each member's attack and defense by 5%, and can also obtain an additional 10% more seniority reward than the normal value. The seniority points obtained can be evenly distributed among the team members. It is a good thing for killing monsters and leveling up. More importantly, it is the most basic prop for players to set up a mercenary group. I heard that only monsters above the Warcraft level can drop 'Hero Order' series items. This time we only destroyed the lion group, which is still a big bargain."
Then he frowned again, "I don't know how strong your sister Xue is. No matter how good the reward is, you have to complete the task and have the blessing to get it?"
"Xue Wuxia and her group are not simple people. They all look like game masters. There are five women and one man, a combination of two shooters, three magicians, and one knight. She herself is a thunder magician, and there is also an ice magician." Nan Feiyan was indeed calm and experienced, and had already analyzed the opponent's strength.
Thunder and ice, I was puzzled when I heard them. It seems that magicians only have four elements: earth, water, fire, and wind. How come thunder and ice popped up? Did I remember it wrong?
Nan Feiyan seemed to see through my confusion. “Thunder and ice magicians are both hidden magician professions with relatively strong attack power. However, their professional characteristics are different from yours, so you cannot have a second profession. There are actually two hidden magician professions in Xue Wuxia’s team. If you, the undead wizard, are added to their team, their strength can be said to be very strong. Facing a group of lions, they might be able to fight back.” I guess this is one of the reasons why she didn’t dissuade Xiao Lajiao.
I heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these two hidden professions were not as powerful as mine. If I could easily encounter a few players with two professions, I would be so pissed off that I would be fooled by that old man again.
"Since Little Pepper has already agreed to the other party, we can't let her lose face and break her promise. What's more, their strength is quite strong. Although it is more difficult, as long as we think long-term and make a careful plan, we may still succeed." Afeng changed the tone of the conversation and his attitude from opposition to support.
Humph, I still don't know what he's thinking. This guy is also an adventurous guy. He just insisted on opposing it because the difference in strength was too great and there was no hope of success. Hearing that the reward was so generous, his heart was already moved. Seeing that the strength was comparable, he naturally wanted to take a gamble. What's more, there were five women among the six people on the other side. Such a typical team with more women than men, he would have a lot of opportunities if he mixed in. Look at his sly smile, I don't know what crooked ideas he is thinking.
Three out of the four people have already agreed. What can I say to the remaining one? Anyway, I should be the one who is least afraid of death. I have died so many times. The worst that can happen is that I can take another trip to the "Dead Space".
Xiao La Jiao made an appointment with them to meet at the West City Gate. The time was almost up, so we got up and set off. Although I had to agree to participate, I had a condition: don't reveal my real name when we meet. After all, my identity is too sensitive, and I'm not familiar with them, so I'm afraid of some trouble. Xiao La Jiao was a little unhappy, but I promised that if necessary, I would tell them my real name and apologize to them solemnly. Ah Fei and Nan Feiyan also spoke well of me, so she had to reluctantly agree.
When they arrived at the west city gate, the other party was already waiting there. There were six people who were all about twenty-three or twenty-four years old. The leader, Xue Wuxia, was a thunder magician. She was indeed very beautiful, a little more mature than Xiao Lajiao and a little more charming than Nan Feiyan. The other four women were not much inferior to her. They were all beautiful women. There was also a handsome guy who was a knight, and he seemed very close to a shooter. It seemed that this beautiful girl already had a master, and Afeng had lost another chance.
After some greetings, everyone introduced themselves and got a preliminary understanding of each other.
"Lightning Magician Xue Wuxia", there is a huge beam of lightning on the badge.
"Ice Magician Butterfly Dance", there is a towering iceberg on the badge.
"Wind Magician Wuyin", the badge has a wild tornado on it.
"Shooter Cloud Without Shadow"
"Sagittarius is as cute as a little bird" and "Guardian of the Knight's Heart". It seems that they are obviously a couple. They even said their introductions at the same time. They have such a tacit understanding.
Xiao La Jiao and Nan Fei Yan from our side have already met them, so the only ones who need to be introduced are me and A Feng.
"Knight Windtalkers"
"Thief Daddy Goose" was the fake name that Xiao Lajiao helped me think of. They said that since it contained the word "daddy", the degree of deception would be less and people would be more able to accept it when it was exposed. A Feng also expressed his support with a gloating look on his face. I was powerless and my opposition was futile, so they decided on it.
Sure enough, as soon as such a unique name came out, I heard a few chuckles, which made me blush and lower my head, not daring to look at anyone. The boy Afeng took the opportunity to shake hands with them one by one and flattered them continuously, which caused another round of laughter.
You can tell at first glance that these people are veteran players. Even though they are going to complete such an extremely difficult task, they are still so calm and well-behaved. Unlike the rest of us, they are not wearing professional attire but ordinary clothes. However, their weapons look good and should be the best that can be bought in the store.
At Afeng's request, Xue Wuxia first introduced us to the mission: Go deep into the Heluo grassland to find a tailless lion king. Killing it will give you the "Ten Man Order", which will also give you more experience points. The mission does not limit the size of the player team, but the more people participate, the more lions will participate in the battle when encountering the tailless lion king. This is also to prevent some powerful players from organizing a large hunting team in an attempt to win by human wave tactics.
Our enemies are a group of lions of unknown number, so the difficulty can be imagined. Their strategy is to find a suitable location, design a lure one by one, and try to kill the lions with bows and magic before they get close. The two knights are responsible for close protection, and can delay the lions' attacks at critical moments to buy time for the archers and magicians. I am the most useless thief, and can only be responsible for the surrounding vigilance. I have no part in killing lions. Of course, these are just preliminary ideas. This is the first public mission issued by the Mercenary Guild in the Eastern Continent. There are still many people who intend to do it. We can only act according to the situation.
Afeng gave a high evaluation of this plan, which shows that Xue Wuxia, who made it, has a high level of gaming skills. If you don't fight the powerful lion in close combat, even if ten knights rush up, they will be annihilated. At this stage, no professional player can challenge the powerful lion head-on. I heard Afeng secretly breathe a sigh of relief. I think he was still very nervous in his heart, after all, this was to kill the lion. If he, a knight, charged, he would have no hope of survival.
Xue Wuxia and Xiao Lajiao were walking at the front of the team, chattering all the way. Afeng tried to strike up a conversation with Xue Wuxia several times, but was rejected. He had no choice but to turn back and hang out with Diewu, Nan Feiyan and the others. I intentionally fell behind and gave a fake name. Although I had some compelling reasons, I always felt a little alienated from them, and I didn't like to contact strangers actively some distance from them and practiced "Riding Away from the Dust". This was a life-saving skill, and I had to be diligent.
