Hello, stranger. First of all, let me express my congratulations and congratulations to you. From the moment you read this text, you have been very fortunate to become a [player].
Before this, perhaps you are a student, are on campus to wield their youth, burning your enthusiasm, blooming your luster. Your life is so rich, full, you have a lot of friends, you deeply around people's recognition and trust. You have an enviable girlfriend, in addition to three or two hardcore buddies or confidants, everything is so beautiful and brilliant.
Maybe you are a conscientious, career is not very good working people, enduring the imbalance between income and expenditure, lamenting the injustice of the world and the bosses of the fuck, and then silently into that often go to the fast food, hesitant to order a usually do not eat a big meal
, thinking about how much this month to pay back the loan.
Of course, you may also be one of those second generation
who are scorned and envied by the world
. Born with a golden spoon in your mouth, you have a huge advantage in whatever you do. Your starting line
is the end of the line that many people may not be able to reach even after a lifetime; you don't need to take one step at a time like ordinary people, What do you want to do with walking? Just drive!
You don't need to take one step at a time like ordinary people; you stand on top of a tall building overlooking the earth, you have extraordinary insights and vision a long time ago, and there are many ways to get information. Therefore, success
is always very close to you, as long as you are a little careful management, in the near future you will become a person similar to your father, perhaps a little worse, perhaps stronger than that.
You may be a surgeon in charge of surgery, a famous professor in a university, a star in constant scandal, you may also be a hard-working and simple farmer, a soldier guarding the border, a famous businessman ......
However, please remember that those things have already become the past
, and now you are just an ordinary [player], a [player] who needs to be careful and do his best to survive.
No one would be interested in your past, of course if you would stay with me, that would be a different story. Perhaps I could be patient and listen to those stories of yours, but, never now ......
Anyway, next you will start your first game. Please convince yourself as soon as possible, set a goal that you can work towards, and get into this game.
Exhaust your talents, inspire your courage, display your instrumentality, in order to reclaim your past, or change your life ......
What? You mean the rewards of the game? Oh, let's wait until you've survived the first [Novice Quest] on this one, right now you're just not even a [Fledgling], just an [Egg] with possibilities.
Well ...... you want to know who I am?
Well ...... this is indeed a message that should be told to you then, after all, we may deal with each other quite frequently in the future! If you don't know who I am, I'll be very distressed too ......
I'm [Boss], that's how everyone calls me, just follow suit.
Well, you say it's a title
rather than an identity
? Oh, young people sometimes [name] is the same as [identity] Oh, this message even if I give away free.
So, ready?
The game ...... begins!
Chapter 2: Cloves and Currants
The cold and dry air was filled with a heavy smell of dust, and a ray of light avoided the curtains and shone through the window into this small room. But this ray of sunlight didn't bring some warmth to this room, it only made this originally gloomy and incomparable room become a bit dark.
In one corner of the room, there was a wooden bed. The material of this bed was very ordinary, but the workmanship was indeed exceptionally exquisite, the exquisite patterns and patterns were completely carved by hand, and it was not known which craftsman's hand it came from. If you look carefully, you will find that all the furniture and objects in this room are made of such simple materials, but the workmanship is exquisite.
At the moment, this bed was lying with a young man a young man dressed in a casual white shirt and jeans that didn't fit in with his surroundings.
This young man's face was pale, his eyebrows were furrowed, he kept biting his lips, his hands were clenched tightly, and the expression on his face kept flickering and changing, as if he was enduring great pain, and as if he was trapped in a nightmare, from which it was difficult to come to his senses.
Well ......
With a painful groan, the young man seemed to have finally relieved himself, and he slowly opened his eyes, staring at the ceiling with a dull gaze.
Where am I ......?
Lin Feng forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body and turned his head somewhat slowly, surveying the unfamiliar place in front of him.
A gloomy room, unfamiliar ceiling, vintage furniture.
Lin Feng slowly stretched out his hand and touched the bed he was lying on, feeling the material of the fabric that seemed to exist as a mattress
underneath him, Is this feel like linen? The workmanship alone is very exquisite, but the material seems a bit too rough.
The treatment process for raw materials isn't up to scratch? Seems a bit backward and overdone, doesn't it ......
Lin Feng muttered secretly in his mind, and was about to branch out and just sit up. Suddenly, a strong sense of dizziness hit him, followed by a severe headache, the feeling was almost as if it was going to tear Lin Feng's entire head apart.
Well ......,
Lin Feng held one hand on his head, biting his lips and forcing himself not to make a sound. Before figuring out the situation he was in, he wasn't going to do anything that might trigger bad consequences, even if it was just making some loud noises.
After a short while like this, the dizziness and headache slowly receded, and while Lin Feng took a breath of relief, he also remembered some of the things he had done before he passed out.
Right, Mom and Dad took me on a rare trip, then ...... then had a car accident, then I lost consciousness?
Lin Feng frowned and muttered, I was lying here when I woke up. Then where are my mom and dad? Where did they go! They should be fine, right?...... Right, they'll be fine.
Just find the people who sent me here and ask them about my parents.
Lin Feng slowly retreated from his state of reminiscing and thinking, muttering to himself somewhat nervously.
Hello, stranger. Here, let me first express my congratulations and felicitations to you; from the moment you read this text, you have been very fortunate to become a [player].
Lin Feng, who was planning to force himself to get out of bed with the pain, stopped his movements, so at that moment, a text suddenly appeared in his mind and a voice rang out.
It was the voice of a middle-aged man with a low and magnetic voice, and his voice seemed to carry a burst of strange magic that one couldn't help but fall deeply into. This characteristic was fully reflected even in Lin Feng's memories, the real and strange feeling was as if it wasn't a memory but a real-time voice being played.
What is ...... this?
For this voice that suddenly appeared, no, I should say that it suddenly came back to him, Lin Feng appeared to be a bit at a loss for words, he subconsciously looked around for a bit, but didn't find anything, A voice that isn't real ......This is a word that I've heard before? Exactly ...... exactly when was it?
Before Lin Feng could figure out what was going on, his mind seemed to clear up in an instant, and that mysterious voice was recalled as much as it could be.
......Before this, maybe you are a student ......But please remember, those have already become the
past, and now you are just an ordinary [player], a [player] who needs to be careful and try his best to survive ......I am the [boss], everyone calls me that, you just call me that too. An ordinary [player], a need to be careful, do everything possible to survive [player] ...... I am [boss], everyone is so called me, you also follow so called on the line ...... So, ready?
The game ...... begins!
I'm a [player] and this is a [game]?
Lin Feng's eyes froze, and he muttered somewhat bewilderedly, What does that mean? Where exactly am I right now?
Please explore the world on your own to activate the main quest. After completing the main quest, you will receive a newbie reward and return to the main world.]
[As this mission is a novice mission, it will additionally grant players certain advantageous conditions, so please make full use of it and complete the mission.]
[Please activate the main quest within 24 hours, otherwise players will be deemed to have failed the quest and be eliminated.]
[Warm tip: The difficulty of the novice mission is very low and the rewards are very rich. Players are also requested to fully grasp the opportunity to obtain the maximum rewards to ensure survival in the subsequent mission world.]
[Cue: Storage space opened]
[Hint: Character panel is open]
[Alert: Task list opened]
This series of prompts caused Lin Feng to be a bit dazed. After briefly digesting this information now, Lin Feng tried to open the [Character Panel] in the prompt.
[Name: Lin Feng]
[Age: 21 (male)]
[Race: Human]
[Title: None]
[Occupation: None]
[Gifted Skill: Eye of the Beholder]
[Skills: None]
[Status: Good]
Then came Lin Feng's various character attributes.
[Power: f]
[Agility: f]
[Physical: f]
[Spirit: f]
[Insight: f]
[Overall rating: a rookie.]
Currently, since Lin Feng's didn't have any equipment or items, the storage space was also in an empty state, nothing.
It's really a game ah ......
looking at the transparent character panel floating in front of his eyes, Lin Feng said with some disbelief, Then where exactly am I considered to be right now? Is this a game in a different world? And where are mom and dad?
Is this situation of mine the legendary traveling through? Or is it something like entering a main god space?
Lin Feng frowned, touched his hairless chin, and said with some distress, What can I do now?...... Shouldn't I still get some mode of killing each other with other players or something like that?
To say that it's traveling to a different world isn't quite like it, that [boss] before clearly said that I'm a [player], this is a [game].
At this time, the discomfort of headache and dizziness had completely disappeared, and Lin Feng straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed, To say that it's a main god space, how come there's neither a senior leading the team nor a newcomer on the same team?
Does it mean that it's single player because it's a [Novice Quest]? And what exactly is the 'advantage' mentioned before? It doesn't seem like it gives any items or attribute bonuses either ......
Just as Lin Feng was rambling there, a sound of footsteps came from outside the room. Immediately afterward, before Lin Feng could react, the door to the room was pushed open.
A woman in her mid to late 40's was standing outside the door with a bowl of paste made of who knows what in her hand.
This woman had long blonde hair, slightly wrinkled at the corners of her eyes, and was wearing a dark green blouse with a brown circle of what looked like a cuff sewn onto the part of the sleeve from the elbow, and underneath was a long skirt made of linen that was somewhat dark white. Lin Feng also noticed a ring on the ring finger of her left hand.
So familiar ah ...... this woman I might have seen somewhere.
Lin Feng couldn't help but think darkly in his mind, the appearance and dress of the woman in front of him seemed to remind him of something.
Yo, the young man finally woke up!
The woman ignored Lin Feng's puzzled expression and instead walked over quickly, shoving the bowl with paste in her hand into Lin Feng's hand and said without a trace of humor, I thought you were planning to lie here with me for a week!
Saying that, the blonde woman also slapped his head in dissatisfaction, ''Hurry up and drink the stuff, and nourish your body. Bram didn't send you here to eat for free! What you get must match the labor you put in, so you have to work. You know, work!"
The woman's obviously intimate gestures and unconcerned words indicated one thing, and that was that she was familiar with Lin Feng, but Lin Feng didn't know who the person in front of him was. This situation made Lin Feng freeze in place, neither drinking the paste in the bowl nor answering the woman's words.
What's wrong? Lin Feng, why don't you say anything?
Looking at Lin Feng who was unresponsive, staying there as if he was dumb, the woman frowned slightly, somewhat worriedly reaching out and placing her hand on Lin Feng's forehead and said, Is your body not feeling well? Or is it a fever?
Eh ...... that, may I ask which one are you?
Lin Feng, who finally came back to his senses, shrunk his neck slightly and took his eyes to glance at the woman in front of him, and asked cautiously, How do you know my name ah?
Oh my god!
Lin Feng's question obviously startled the woman, she took a step back and covered her mouth with both hands, incredulously shouting, Oh my god, what's wrong with you? Did you hit your head? Couldn't have been broken by those damn Nifjads, could it? Oh shit, what am I going to tell Bram now! His only nephew has become a fool!
Wait ...... just now you said 'Nifjads' right?
The woman's sudden exclamation startled Lin Feng, and some of the words in her sentence caused Lin Feng to frown deeply, Nifjad, what a familiar name. Seems like I've heard that word somewhere recently ......
Crap! Of course I would have heard it. How could I not be familiar with the people who curse Nifjad every day in my tavern now?
The woman's words were like a blast of thunder and lightning that resounded in Lin Feng's head at first.
He finally remembered where he had heard the word Nifjad
recently, and at the same time he realized the identity of the woman in front of him, as well as where he was.
That ......
Lin Feng swallowed hard and hesitated for a moment before still asking word for word, May I ask if this is the [Hundred Fruit Garden]?
Chapter 3: The Big Bald Guy in the Crowd
After receiving an affirmative reply, Lin Feng was also finally certain. The world he was in now was the world of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The place where he was now was the game's newbie village, the Hundred Fruit Garden
.
The woman in front of him was the owner of this tavern, Elsa, while Lin Feng's current identity was the nephew of one of the owner's Elsa's relatives, Bram. (Bram was the pot-headed merchant who had been attacked by a griffin and then saved by White Wolf and Vesemir.)
Obviously, this was the advantage
given to Lin Feng in the newbie quest. This made Lin Feng no longer a foreigner in this game world, but had a relatively reliable identity and a reason to get close to the plot characters.
As the boss lady Elsa droned on, Lin Feng finally understood. In the setting here, Lin Feng's parents had both died, and then he had defected to Bram in a thousand miles. Then it was probably Bram who asked the boss lady to take care of Lin Feng for a bit, letting him do odd jobs here in Elsa's place, which was also considered to be a stable life.
After ascertaining that Lin Feng's body really wasn't in any serious trouble, Elsa casually **substituted** a few sentences and hurriedly left. After all, the tavern was in business right now, and she had already done her best by putting down a whole bunch of things there and coming to see herself.
Waiting for Elsa to walk away, Lin Feng let out a long sigh, things were cleared up, so how to activate the main quest next.
The Hundred Orchards ah ...... I remember the first chapter of Witcher 3 was called Lilacs and Currants, right?
Lin Feng tried hard to recall everything about this game, The main plot thread is that the White Wolf and Vesemir came here to look for Yenafa. Then there's a good chance that my main quest this time is also related to those two.
It's a good thing that my current identity is Bram's nephew, so when the time comes, I'll kind of have a reason to strike up a conversation with the two of them.
Lin Feng frowned and muttered to himself, analyzing a little bit, The question is what time is it, when will the White Wolf and Vesemir get here, if I have to wait for a long time, wouldn't it be a waste of time to wait dry? No, I have to go out and take a look first.
With that, Lin Feng drank the bowl of paste in three or two gulps, jumped off the bed and walked out holding the bowl.
After passing through a narrow corridor, Lin Feng arrived at the tavern where a number of drunken men were sitting. They were drinking and cursing at the same time, racking their brains to come up with what they considered to be the most vicious words to despise and belittle the Nifjad soldiers who had occupied the Hundred Orchards.
Assholes! Those fucking leeches, the slugs who saw the devil! They should all just go to hell, to be shoulder-to-shoulder with the devil and have a chat!
All right, all right. You've said the same thing three times now, Dromre. Can't you come up with some fresh words? What a hell!
Hahaha, fresh vocabulary? Dromre is as stupid as a headless chicken and you expect him to change his words? Forget it! I just need him to keep cursing, I don't care as to what he curses a little.
Che, it doesn't bother you to hear the same thing over and over again.
In the face of his companion's questioning, the man shrugged without a care in the world and drained his glass in one gulp.
Hey! Boss lady, don't you think so?
The man called Dromre, who was already completely drunk, and whose body had begun to sway eastward despite sitting still in his seat, questioned loudly as he pulled Elsa, who was passing by, by the sleeve, Are those damn Nifjads a bunch of leeches who've seen a ghost, ah!
Drunken drunks are always a kind of trouble, you can neither fight with such a delirious guy, nor can you easily get rid of their entanglements, in case if you really dislike them, you may have to suffer. There is really no place to talk about it even if you have a point to make.
After figuring out his situation, Lin Feng had slowed down from his previous state of confusion and returned to his usual state. Seeing that Elsa was being pestered by a drunkard, Lin Feng immediately walked out from the corridor and said loudly to Elsa, Boss lady, I've finished that strange paste, I'm bringing out this bowl for you ha~
Lin Feng's appearance attracted everyone's attention for a moment, including the drunken man called Dromre, and Elsa took advantage of Dromre's distraction to immediately break away and very naturally say to Lin Feng, Put the bowl somewhere. Why don't you take a good rest? The body is already fine?
Hehehe, it's alright, it's not as bad as before.
Lin Feng rubbed his head and smiled at Elsa, It's kinda boring to stay in my room all the time, so I'll just come out and take a look around.
Seeing that Elsa didn't answer his question and broke away, Dromre turned his head laboriously and reluctantly tried to stand up, as if he wanted to continue his previous question, with an air of having to get an answer that would satisfy him.
At this moment, the man at the table with him suddenly spoke to Elsa, Boss lady, take that down. Now that the Nifjads are in charge, it's not fit to keep this thing hanging.
Saying that, he reached out his hand and nodded at a crest that was hanging on one of the tavern's pillars, a coat of arms that represented Tymoria.
As soon as these words came out, the entire tavern fell silent, and everyone was immersed in an emotion called sadness. The women secretly wiped their tears, while the men kept their heads down and drank without a word. The body of Zhomre, who was just about to stand up and look for trouble, shook fiercely a few times before sitting down on his butt, and as soon as he raised his wine glass, he drank it down in one go, swallowing down his tears mixed with the wine.
This is a group of people whose hometown has been overrun by the enemy, but there is nothing they can do about it. They had no way to rebel against Nifjad and were unwilling to accept the status quo, so they could only nestle in this tiny tavern, drinking to themselves and anesthetizing themselves with alcohol. Both men and women chose this way.
Elsa stood still, silent for a few moments, before finally doing as the man had said and removing the Tymorian Coat of Arms from the pillar and setting it aside.
The crowd was still immersed in sadness, but Lin Feng didn't feel much. He wasn't born and raised in the Hundred Fruit Garden, he didn't have any deep feelings for the land, nor had any important people or things been destroyed in the war, and he hadn't experienced an event like his hometown being invaded by an enemy country
. Therefore, he only sympathized with these people in front of him, and understood them, but could not empathize with them. No matter how real it was, no matter how true it was, it couldn't change the fact that this was a game. To Lin Feng, he was at most listening to a rather mournful, other people's story, nothing more.
At this moment, Lin Feng was more concerned about the activation of the main quest, he urgently needed to determine exactly when the White Wolf would come to this tavern, and to do so he needed to gather more information.
Lin Feng's eyes swept across the entire tavern, checking out which people were sitting in the tavern drinking, he planned to see which ones he could snare some information from.
Just as Lin Feng's eyes swept over an inconspicuous corner of the tavern, his eyes froze. A guy hiding in the corner, pouring himself a drink, firmly caught his eye.
Before that, Lin Feng had also seriously considered what information was available to speculate on the exact date that the White Wolf would come to this very tavern. For example, when Bram would be shipping goods to the Hundred Orchards (that's when he met the White Wolf on his way to ship the goods), or information about the griffin attack, or information about Yenafa. Let's see if we can counter-introduce the time when the White Wolf will come to the Hundred Orchards, and then proactively meet them instead of passively waiting.
However, none of those speculations were needed now. From the moment he saw that person, Lin Feng had almost confirmed it. According to the normal progression of the plot, White Wolf Jelot and Wisemir would arrive at the Hundred Fruit Orchard today and enter this tavern.
The person Lin Feng saw was a bald head; a bald head carrying a small bag with a very lewd smile; a bald head who claimed to be a vagabond with an inscrutable strength that couldn't be seen to the bottom.
He is gaunter o'dimm, also known as master mirror
or manglass
, who describes himself as a mirror merchant and a mangy bum
. mangy tramp
. In reality, however, he is quite a powerful being, trading souls with men and women, and stopping time is a mere high-five for him. What his name is and where he comes from is a mystery, and one can only guess that he is a demon with a **entity**.
This ordinary looking guy with a lewd smile had been stalking Jerott. He would always appear around White Wolf in a variety of dresses, which could hardly be described as defensible. And in the middle of the game, it was this guy who told Jerott about Yennefa in the tavern.
Since this bastard appeared in the tavern, that means the White Wolf should almost be here as well.
At this time, Lin Feng's heart was unusually torn, What to do, should I go up and have a good conversation with this super ***oss? I've seen it all, I can't just do nothing, right? But in case you go up and get his attention, and he wants to mess with me, then I can't stand it ah .......
Hey, little brother over there, come over and have a drink, how about it?
While Lin Feng was hesitating, Gunter Odium suddenly smiled and said to Lin Feng, I think the two of us should be able to talk very well~
Damn, looks like I don't have to make a decision ......
Lin Feng had a moment of helplessness in his heart, and then he also put on a kind smile and said to the grinning bald guy, Hahaha, that's what I think too, we two might be able to talk quite well.
With that, he slowly walked towards Gunt Odium.
Originally, when this dead bald guy opened his mouth, Lin Feng's first reaction was to refuse, but just when he wanted to say the word no
, a huge sense of crisis enveloped his whole body, making Lin Feng swallow the words that had already come to his mouth, and then immediately put on a smile and gladly agreed to Gunt Odium's invitation.
Alas ...... who let me be a newcomer with humble strength!
While smiling formulaically and walking slowly towards the bald guy's table, Lin Feng lamented in his heart, You can't refuse the big brother's request, if you refuse you're probably going to be euthanized, it really can't be helped!
A very short journey, Lin Feng had dawdled hard for a minute, and Gunt Odium had just sat there watching him with interest for a minute.
What is it that big brother is looking for me for?
Seeing that there was no excuse or hope to hide over, Lin Feng let go and sat on his butt across from Gunt Odium, crossing his legs and smiling as he asked.
No, no, no, I should say that it's what you're looking for from me.
Günter Odium winked at Lin Feng, maintaining his usual lewd smile and said, I saw it all. Just now, you stood there for a long time, seemingly hesitating to come up and talk to me.
What, do you recognize me?
Günter Odium spared a glance at Lin Feng, And still, you called me big brother as soon as you came up. I don't remember me turning out to be that powerful.
Oh, that ah ...... was me recognizing the wrong person.
Facing the dead bald man's intended question, Lin Feng bullshitted without changing his color, I thought you were an acquaintance of mine, so I was thinking about coming up to speak to you. As a result, when you opened your mouth, I realized that I recognized the wrong person.
Acquaintances? What kind of acquaintance? Does he look like me?
No, you two aren't very similar.
Lin Feng looked at Gunt Odium with a vacant eye and said calmly, It's just that the two of you have more similar features and the way you made your entrance, that's why I recognized the wrong person for a moment.
Characteristics? The way of debut?
Well, that acquaintance of mine is called 'Wu Ke' is a big bald guy.
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and said, The way to make an entrance is 'suddenly drilling out of the crowd'. Just now I suddenly saw your bald head amongst all these people, its the same effect as 'a bald head suddenly drilling out of the crowd'. That's why I misidentified you and him for a moment.
You recognized that I'm not Wookiee, so how come you're still calling me Big Brother?
Gunt Odium didn't seem too satisfied with Lin Feng's answer and continued to get to the bottom of it.
Oh, that.
Lin Feng glanced at Gunter Odium and said lightly, That was me accidentally saying it smoothly!
Oh, yeah~
Gunt Odium let out a soft laugh and didn't pursue it any further.
But from his eyes and expression, it wasn't hard to tell that this big guy didn't believe that explanation of Lin Feng's. It was estimated that in the next period of time, this terrifying guy with unfathomable strength (stalker) would choose to take his own way (stalking) to figure out all the questions in his mind.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng couldn't help but have a headache, Ward Fark, this is really a mess ......
Favorites, recommendations, asking for support!
Chapter 4: Playing the King's Pussy
Gunt Odium had his sights set on him, Lin Feng was well aware of the current situation. But for some reason, until now, he still didn't have any very strong sense of crisis, or nervousness.
As a student, Lin Feng was once keen on reading all kinds of online novels, among which he had read quite a few novels that were very similar to his current situation, such as entering the main god space
. In those novels, the protagonists were always subjected to a terrible baptism at the beginning. On the one hand, it was because they hadn't yet mastered any special abilities when they first entered the space, and on the other hand, it was also because of the difficulties and crisis-ridden environments of this kind of space mission.
Not to mention the final result, but the process is also very thrilling. Whether it was the main characters or the supporting characters, everyone was trembling with fear and treading on thin ice, using all their wisdom and strength to improve their survival rate. The atmosphere of tension and terror is also a common occurrence.
But now Lin Feng didn't have much of such a sense of crisis. Perhaps it was because of the advantage
of his identity, perhaps it was because the current environment was relatively comfortable, perhaps it was because this world was a game
that Lin Feng was familiar with, and he was able to roughly know the direction of the relevant plot, or perhaps it was some other unknown reason. It could also be because this world is a game
that Lin Feng is familiar with, and he can roughly know the direction of the plot, or some other unknown reason.
All in all, at this moment, Lin Feng was just feeling a bit of a headache regarding the matter of Gunt Odium staring at him, as he felt that things might become annoying, but nothing else.
After slightly revitalizing his spirit and casting aside the various thoughts in his head, Lin Feng sat up straight and said to Gunt Odium, who was still maintaining a playful expression, Well, the two of us have been chatting for a little while now, aren't you going to introduce yourself?
Then let's start with me.
Without waiting for Günter Odium to reply, Lin Feng continued on his own, I'm called Lin Feng, a distant relative of this tavern's owner's wife. Because of a change in my family, I came over to join her.
Oh, it's like that... ...... That's still really sad.
Gunt Odium cooperatively put on an expression of I sympathize with you
and nodded, However, it's really unlucky for you to come here. After all, there's a war going on right now, and the Nifjords have occupied this place. It's also really hard to say what will happen next.
It's okay, I can't say it's bad luck. After all, there's really no place that can be called 'safe' these days.
Lin Feng shrugged undeniably, There are wars here and there, and fierce beasts there. I've heard that there's also a suspicious organization that's been operating everywhere lately, causing untold destruction and killings. They're annihilating every living thing they see, burning down all the villages along the way, godlike and unrivaled.
When he said this, Lin Feng's heart fluttered, then he put his elbows on the tabletop, crossed his arms and smiled at Gunther Odium, There are scouts all over the place from all sides, endless and undefendable. There are also some scary stalkers who like to dress up like harmless merchants and roam around, and there's no telling what they're up to!
Tsk, tsk, this world is too chaotic!
After saying that, Lin Feng didn't care about Gunt Odium's reaction and kept smashing his mouth as he let out a summarizing lament.
Oh? A stalker who wanders around dressed like a merchant?
Günter Odium's eyes flickered for a few moments as he smiled and spoke, I seem to have heard such a description somewhere. I don't know which one are you talking about, little brother Lin Feng? I think we can exchange a wave of information oh.
Hmm ...... good idea.
Lin Feng clapped his hands and made a show of agreeing with the bald man's words.
Seeing Lin Feng's very cooperative reaction, Günter Odium was about to open his mouth again and continue to deepen this topic, only to be interrupted by Lin Feng before he could even speak.
So.
Lin Feng's words changed and he grabbed Günter Odium before he could speak, Are you really not going to buy me a drink?
Buy you ...... a drink?
Günter Odium repeated Lin Feng's words with a somewhat subtle expression on one side.
Not bad, exactly buy me a drink.
Seeing the bald guy's slightly egghead expression, the smile on Lin Feng's face grew even wider, Have two glasses of spirits, drinking them will make you very satisfied!
At these words, the bald man's expression became even more subtle.
Hmm? What's wrong?
As if he didn't notice Gunt Odium's abnormality, Lin Feng continued to say without changing his face, If you don't have any money, then it's going to be very troublesome then. I don't have any money on me either, and you've ordered quite a few more things since just now. There's delicious food and fragrant wine, if you can't get any money in a while, I don't think Elsa will let you off easily, oh.
Well ...... or are you waiting for someone else to pay you?
Lin Feng stroked his chin and made a thoughtful gesture, and after a few seconds he suddenly looked like he had figured something out, clenching his right hand into a fist and gently tapping it on the palm of his left hand, and said with a sudden realization, I see, so that's why you suddenly struck up a conversation towards me!
Oh? Didn't you strike up a conversation with me to get me to pay for you?
Of course not!
So ah ...... well, I believe it.
Lin Feng's gaze flicked around Gunt Odium's body a few times before he sat down and gently spat out a sentence with a smile on his face.
So, you're waiting for someone here specifically?
Coldness, as these words were spoken, an intense coldness surrounded Lin Feng in an instant, as if it froze his breath in an instant.
However, this chill came and went quickly. Before Lin Feng could make any reaction, the chill just disappeared without warning, just as abruptly and quickly as it had appeared.
Oh, finally you can't help it? Looks like I'm still pretty much on point with this pussy-footing around.
Lin Feng, whose heart seemed to have stopped beating for a beat, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead as if nothing had happened and secretly sneered in his heart.
I don't have anyone to wait for, I'm just here for a drink.
As usual, Gunt Odium kept that beaten and lewd smile and said, Also don't underestimate me, I'm rich too.
Underestimate you? No, no, no, I don't have the guts to underestimate you. I'm looking at you as a monster capable of destroying the world ......
Lin Feng silently spat out in his heart, but indicated that he was still following his normal train of thought, What ah, then what was that reaction you had just now? Your expression as if your eggs were broken ......
Heh heh heh, because the things you say, those are usually my lines then ......
That slightly subtle expression appeared on Gunt Odium's face again, only this time it was much more restrained and not as obvious as it had been before, and Whenever there's someone I share a table with, I basically don't have to pay for it myself. Those people are usually very proactive in buying me drinks.
Hehe, what about being proactive ......,
Lin Feng glanced meaningfully at Gunt Odium and said meaningfully, It looks like it's your turn to be 'proactive' this time around. ' yet.
Good, exactly.
Gunt Odium blinked rather helplessly and called out to Elsa, Boss lady, bring two more glasses of wine.
Soon, two new, wooden cups filled with wine were placed in front of the two men.
Ever since that sudden chill had enveloped Lin Feng, Günter Odium's gaze had never left Lin Feng. The bald man was observing Lin Feng, while Lin Feng was smiling curtly at Elsa, patting his chest and assuring him that there was nothing wrong with his body and that he wouldn't dip his hands in alcohol after this drink.
Alright, now this is where our conversation can continue, where was it talking about just now?
Lin Feng, who had sent Elsa away, returned to his seat, taking his eyes and looking up and down uncontrollably at Gunther Odium, Oh, it was about who you are and what you do. That's right, isn't it?
Oh, I'm Gunther Odium.
This time this dead bald guy didn't continue the gag and spoke in a serious manner, A mangy bum at your disposal.
Ooh ...... these days, is vagabonding also a profession?
Lin Feng looked at Gunt Odium with a vacant eye, mercilessly mocking him for only answering half of the question, Then you're really something ...... I wonder how many jobs this profession can solve and how much gdp it can create ah?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, before I was selling mirrors, then the big guys got up and helped me with a nickname. It's called Mirror Master, or Glass Boy.
Günter Odium ignored the content of Lin Feng's meaningless tirade and said with a lewd smile.
Oh~ So that's it, a merchant who wanders around ah......
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes like a little fox who had stolen poultry, No wonder just now you reacted to my mouth with the 'merchant look' and 'roaming around' in my mouth just now?
Could it be that the 'I seem to have heard such a description somewhere' statement in your mouth is what others have said about you?
Lin Feng said with a sunny smile, In that case, perhaps you're still hiding the attribute of 'stalker'?
Tsk tsk tsk, your ideas are always so marvelous and full of new ideas.
This time Günter Odium wasn't touched by Lin Feng's words with an obvious point, he seemed to smile somewhat helplessly and shook his head, It's really hard to imagine that you're only a young man in his early twenties.
Was it your parents' philosophy of education that was too good? Or is ...... it something else?
Gunt Odium's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring straight at Lin Feng, Where exactly does your wisdom originate from? It can't be from Master Dandelion's songs, can it?
At this moment, Gunt Odium was merely staring at himself, but Lin Feng had an uncontrollable anxiety and uneasiness, a feeling that a crisis was about to descend.
If I can't give a reason for this dead bald guy to accept it, I guess I'll have to just gg.
Lin Feng's intuition gave this answer, and he believed that this feeling was correct.
What to do? How should I answer?
An unprecedented anxiety coalesced, compressed and twisted in Lin Feng's heart, Should I just tell the truth, or else I'm afraid I'm really screwed ......
Just as Lin Feng was hesitantly planning to tell the whole truth, a cool sensation suddenly spread from his forehead and then traveled down his body. That unknown anxiety was also expelled as this cool breath traveled.
to_your_health!
Günter Odium, who was wearing a smile on his face and waiting for Lin Feng to open his mouth, violently heard Lin Feng come up with such a sentence. He then saw Lin Feng raise his wine glass as soon as he did so, and drink the wine in the glass in one go.
Wtf?
Gunt Odium watched Lin Feng's movements with a dumbfounded look on his face and couldn't help but sprout an expletive.
On this side, Günter Odium was incredulously spitting out a Ward Fark
, and on that side, Lin Feng couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart that he was in danger.
Just now that kind of anxiety is this dead bald guy to make a ghost, right ...... actually even my thinking are unknowingly affected, want to this bastard will tell everything, really is good risk ......
Lin Feng heart can not help but a burst of fear, if just now he really told the truth, I guess I have been wiped out
it, and just now that kind of cool feeling in the end what is it ... ... ...Could it be the effect of that [Natural Skill]? After all, the current me has nothing but that 'Eye of Insight'.
Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his head to look at Gunter Odium. At that moment, this dead bald guy was also looking at him with an extremely complicated look, and their eyes met in the air before staggering apart.
Gotta ...... look like I accidentally even pretended to be a king.
Lin Feng laughed bitterly in his heart and spat to himself, Looks like I'd better change my name to 'Lin Sakamoto Feng'. In that case, it's a bit more apt ......
Chapter 5 Let's have a game of Quintessence!
to_your_health!
This is really an excellent communication phrase that is usually uttered by people as they toast and drink with each other. As a universal toast, it can be applied to old friends who know each other well, newcomers who are getting acquainted for the first time, and even strangers who have never crossed paths.
People sat around their respective tables in twos and threes, raising their glasses to those around them, familiar or unfamiliar, amidst the toasts of to_your_health!
, and laughing as they drank their glasses. The wine leaked out of the corners of their mouths and slowly flowed down staining their lapels, but who cared? People put down their glasses, tacitly and silently looked at each other and laughed, this is a kind of how heroic and unrestrained behavior ah!
Of course, everything depends on the situation, and everything changes from person to person, from place to place, and from event to event. This is particularly evident and potent in the case of language
.
For example, Lin Feng's line to_your_health!
no longer seems like a mere toast.
When Günter Odium asked Lin Feng where his wisdom originated from, and even used some mysterious power to do so, Lin Feng chose to use these words as a reply. At this time, the phrase to_your_health!
was not so much to your health
as it was greetings to your mother
or throw thunderbolt
. Instead of to_your_health!
, it would be better to translate it as greetings to your mother
, or to your mother
, or to your mother
, or to your mother
.
Such forced digressions and inexplicable toasts to your health
always provoke a sense of pain in people's hearts, and such a situation in Ghent Odium is even more painful.
After all, in the normal game plot, when White Wolf had questioned Gunt Odium about why he knew his identity, this damned bald guy had used this method to forcefully digress from the topic. Now that Lin Feng had used the same tactic on him, this guy didn't know how depressed he would be.
Hahaha, Lin Feng you're such a funny guy!
After a moment of silence, Günter Odium suddenly patted Lin Feng's shoulder and said with a big smile, It's really great to have met you! Thanks to you, today's dishes are also even more delicious, and the wine is getting more and more flavorful!
It's okay, it's okay. You're welcome, you're welcome.
Seeing that this big brother didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to look deeper into the matter, Lin Feng also secretly sighed in relief, and then squeezed out an enthusiastic smile and said, Being able to meet you has also solved some of my doubts la. Thank you very much indeed.
Haha, what's the point. We travelers have to help each other out. Maybe one day I'll be in trouble and you just happen to be around to help.
Once again, Gunt Odium patted Lin Feng's shoulder and gave him a meaningful smile before getting up and leaving his seat with a big stride.
Holy shit ...... this line, this move ......
Listening to Gunt Odium's words, Lin Feng's heart was shocked, and he immediately followed suit and got up to leave.
Only after he turned around, Gunt Odium was gone. The door to the tavern showed no sign of being opened, and the people around him didn't seem to notice that a large living person had suddenly disappeared over here.
Lin Feng looked around to make sure that he hadn't found Günter Odium's figure, this big bald man had just disappeared into this tavern without any warning in that instant just now. Only the remaining dinner plates and wine glasses on the table, as well as the coins that had been placed on the table at some unknown time, proved that he had once appeared here.
Tsk tsk tsk, a big brother is a big brother, leaving in such a dashing manner.
Lin Feng skimmed his mouth, and in his mind he couldn't help but secretly spit out, Then again, that line from Gunt Odium just now, it was something he said when he parted ways with White Wolf, right? In that case,...... this guy was so impatient to leave, could it be that he was planning to follow me and thus explore my secrets? I go ...... so scary, this guy ...... think about it!
Thinking of this possibility Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a chill, after all, being spied on by such a terrifying existence wasn't something one should be happy about.
That's not right......
Suddenly, Lin Feng seemed to have thought of something, his expression a little confused as he muttered to himself, If Gunt Odium is gone, who's going to tell Jelot about Yenafa? Wouldn't that break the plot?
[Main Quest Activation]
[Main Quest 1: Help Jerrott find Yennefer]
[Main Mission II: Discover at least two side missions]
At the same time, a transparent mission panel appeared in front of Lin Feng, which also declared that this game world
mission was officially opened.
I see, is the plot more or less changed due to the appearance of the 'player'? Of course it could also be a deliberate adjustment in order to not let the player completely grasp the plot trend?
Looking at the quest panel in front of him, Lin Feng frowned and said, Heh, the people who organized this game really had a lot of heart.
Then again, it really is a newbie quest, the difficulty is really low enough.
Thinking about this, Lin Feng couldn't help but reveal a smile, There aren't any restrictions or penalties, and the minimum requirement for mainline two is 'uncover' instead of 'complete'. Is the main purpose still to familiarize the player with how to find the side quests? Instead of a quest, it's more like teaching, it's really thoughtful.
Is this really a place similar to the main god's space? How come it's so friendly to newcomers?
Lin Feng couldn't stop muttering in his heart, at least so far, he hadn't encountered any particularly fatal episodes, and while this was a good thing, it was somewhat counterintuitive making him more than a little uneasy, Forget it, whatever. Let's do what we can first. We'll talk about the rest later.
Lin Feng then greeted Elsa, intending to wander around the Hundred Fruit Garden first to find out if there were any side quests he could do. He walked to the door of the tavern and was about to push the door out. Instead, the door was pushed in from outside, and at the same time the two people who were standing right outside the door came into his eyes.
It was two heavily armed men.
One was a very handsome, middle-aged uncle with extraordinary temperament, silver-white hair tied casually at the back of his head, a vertical scar over his left eye, and two swords with a faint smell of blood on his back.
The other was a much older lord, who looked like a seasoned old hunter, with the same two swords on his back, except that this one seemed to have suffered a bit of an injury, and the shoulder armor on his left shoulder was stained with blood, which from the color of the blood should have been stained not too long ago.
The two of them share a common and prominent feature, their eyes. They possessed a pair of golden colored vertical pupils and a snarling wolf head pendant around their necks. Everyone knew very well what such a feature meant.
These are two demon hunters, two hunters of the same wolf school.
White Wolf Jelot and Wisemir?
Not expecting to actually meet the two in such a way, Lin Feng couldn't help but freeze in place, and for a moment neither went up to strike up a conversation as he had previously envisioned, nor did he get out of the way. He just stood there dumbfounded, not moving at all.
Lin Feng's reaction was seen by the two of them, and the two of them, Jelot and Wisemir, looked at each other and seemed somewhat helpless. Such a situation was something they had seen over the years. Demon hunters were not loved by the people, more people regarded them as freaks and monsters, considering them to be fae stained with the stench of copper
, ruthless executioners
, etc. Lin Feng froze in place. Lin Feng that froze in place, rather than directly out of the mouth to ridicule, provocation has been considered a good reaction
.
Hello, can you move over?
Jerott said softly as he nodded slightly towards Lin Feng, signaling with his eyes that Lin Feng was blocking their way.
Ah ......
Hearing Jelot's soft inquiry, Lin Feng seemed to have reacted, his expression still somewhat confused as he stepped out of the way and said, Hello, you guys. Sorry about that.
Seeing Lin Feng cheerfully give way, the two Demon Hunters looked at each other and smiled, as if they could tell that Lin Feng's behavior was without malice, and that he was just a bit distracted.
The two threw a kind smile at Lin Feng before walking into the tavern.
It had to be said that the Demon Hunters were really unpopular to the extreme, and ever since Jelot and Wisemir walked in, the entire atmosphere of the tavern had changed. Everyone gazed at them, not hiding the disgust and contempt in their eyes, as if they intended to drive the two away with their eyes.
Probably because they had gotten used to it over the years, Jelot and Wisemir didn't care about the gazes of the crowd and walked straight to the counter where Elsa was.
Just as the two were passing by a table where four local villagers were seated, a man wearing fur short sleeves and various tattoos on his body suddenly rushed at them and spoke, I don't want mutant freaks like this around when I'm drinking.
His tone was full of provocation and sarcasm.
Vesemir did not pay any attention to this man and walked forward on his own. Jerott, on the other hand, after hearing the man's words, his figure slightly lurched and stopped his steps, and after glancing faintly at the man, he once again took a step forward and followed behind Vesemir.
Please don't mind the ruffians.
Elsa nodded slightly at Wisemir, apologizing slightly, I'm sorry this happened.
Haha, it's fine.
Wisemir waved his hand in a I'm helpless too
gesture and spoke, We won't care, we've already gotten used to it.
By this time, Jerott, who was a little behind, had also walked over and stood at the counter alongside Vesemir. Vesemir sidled up and threw a look at Jalot, Try not to make any trouble, we have to inquire about Yennefa!
Don't worry, I understand.
In response to his partner's concern, Jelot similarly expressed himself with a look, while at the same time he turned back to look at the tavern where the atmosphere was still very sinister, Except that these people might not think so is all, they've got the look in their eyes that they're picking fights with.
The villagers are restless.
Noticing that the people around her were sticking their necks out and gazing at the place with unkind eyes, Elsa was helpless as well, and she half-explained, half-advised, The army has only just passed through this village, and now there are griffin beasts infesting the neighborhood.
Uh huh, we've just seen it all.
Jerott spread his hands and shook his head slightly, We also met your relative Bram
Oh my God, Bram!
Looking surprised to hear Bram's name in an unexpected place, Elsa asked repeatedly, How is he, is he okay?
Don't worry, he's alive.
Vesemir made a gesture, signaling Elsa not to worry, He asked us to send you his regards.
Oh, thank you, Lord Demon Hunter!
Elsa was relieved as if she had dropped a boulder, and she raised her hands in a welcoming gesture and said, "Your food and drink are all free of charge! If there's
