The primary task is to kill the toad spirit in the lotus pond of Lotus Village.

Chu Qi controlled her body with her mind, using the swordsman's "jumping" skill to quickly rush towards the lotus pond.

The game fully simulated the real distance. It took her a minute to get to the scene.

A large group of villagers had gathered here, wearing coarse linen clothes and wearing ancient classic hairstyles, piled up shoulder to shoulder, front to back.

Their attention was completely drawn to something in the middle of the lotus pond.

A huge toad, as big as an adult, was lying there. Its skin was dark green and covered with dense bumps.

"What is that?"

"toad?"

"Toads are golden, and this is cyan."

“….”

The village chief struggled to maintain order and shouted, "Everyone, don't get so close. Move back. Be careful that this thing will hurt you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the creature stretched out its tongue, wrapped around a child of about five or six years old, pulled the child in front of it and swallowed him in one gulp.

"My child!!" A woman's heart-wrenching cry was heard from the crowd.

At the critical moment, a man in a white gown flew over everyone's heads, bringing up a gust of wind, and instantly came in front of the toad spirit.

He drew the long sword from his back, and the sword came out of the sheath. With a white light, it cut off one of the toad monster's legs.

By then, the child had swallowed half of it.

Its legs were cut off and it screamed in pain, and the half-swallowed child was vomited out.

The man in white caught the child and at the same time, without stopping, he chopped off the toad monster's head with a sword.

"It's the Seven Heroes!"

The crowd cheered.

The real person known as the Seven Heroes, Chu Qi, looked in surprise at the death of the Toad Monster, and a pile of gold coins exploded on the spot.

She tapped her toes lightly on the huge lotus leaf that the toad spirit had just occupied. As soon as her body touched the gold coins, they were automatically collected into the player's warehouse.

I saw that there was an extra row of words on the item in Chu Qi's panel:

Gold Coins (1000) [Note: Gold coins can be used to redeem system mall items or for player transactions/gifts]

Because the game scenes were too realistic, the original owner did not dare to accept primary tasks such as killing, and had been living in Lotus Village doing daily tasks such as helping villagers fetch water, earning 10 or 20 gold coins.

The gold coins earned were all used by the original owner to buy some small things to make Qiu Mu happy.

Such as flowers, small decorations.

It's too expensive and he can't afford it.

Chu Qi ignored the changes on the panel and jumped to the ground with the child under her arm.

As soon as the child was born, he cried loudly and threw himself into his mother's arms. The mother came over with the child to thank Chu Qi.

She smiled and nodded, "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."

Chu Qi heard another ding-dong sound coming from the panel.

[System: Congratulations to the player for receiving the villagers' sincere gratitude. 1000 experience points have been delivered]

The level on the panel changes.

Level: 8

[System: Congratulations to the player for reaching level 8. The novice mission has been refreshed:

1. Go to the Demon Forest to search for ginseng essence within seven days

2. Upgrade to level 10 within seven days

3. Upgrade to a high-level swordsman within seven days]

Note: You can unlock other copies by completing three novice tasks.

Currently, Chu Qi can only exist in the primary copy of Lotus Village, and each player has his own copy.

Players can also kill each other and steal treasures. The existence of a copy is equivalent to a base camp. Entering your own copy can avoid having your treasures stolen.

If a player is killed, the system will force the player to log off and the player can log in again after seven days. However, the treasure will not be snatched away all at once. The system will only allow the killed player to drop one item at a time.

The dropped items are random, they may be gold coins, experience points, or good things from the warehouse.

However, there is a limitation to killing people for treasures, that is, weekends are safe, and players cannot kill each other on this day. In other words, low-level players with no special abilities who need to leave the dungeon to complete tasks will choose to do so on weekends.

There are still three days until the weekend. Chu Qi, a level 8 rookie, has no intention of going out to try her luck. She decides to stay in her own copy and go out to complete quests on weekends.

The flow of time in the dungeon is different from that in reality. Three days in reality is equivalent to seven days in the dungeon.

So, after Chu Qi goes offline, she can wait for about a day and a half before coming in to do the novice tasks.

If you miss a novice mission, you will never get it again. It is also the easiest mission in the game, so Chu Qi doesn't intend to miss it.

She stayed in the Lotus Village dungeon for another day, completed many daily tasks, and raised her level to level nine. She felt a little hungry, so she logged off.

Reality.

Only half a day had passed.

Chu Qi withdrew his consciousness from the game and took a while to take off his helmet.

Dappled sunlight shines into the room through the leaves and window glass.

Chu Qi was lying in a place where the sunlight couldn't reach. She squinted her eyes and looked out the window. Outside, birds were chirping, the trees were green and the weather was just right.

The small villa is located in a sunny community with good "original ecology". Here, many trees, flowers and plants are planted in both the residential area and the park entertainment area.

If it weren’t for the modern buildings when you walked in, it would really feel like you were walking into some pristine forest.

This "forest" is well maintained, with workers pruning and cleaning the branches and fallen leaves of the trees.

There are also special gardeners to trim the flowers and plants.

Insect and mosquito prevention measures have also been taken on the roads, so living in the community is very comfortable and safe.

The air and scenery are good, and there is nothing to complain about except the security.

On the property side, there are only two old men who take turns guarding the security room. When they see an owner, they open the door and let people in. Anyone who walks in can come in directly as long as they can prove that they are the owner of the community or are familiar with the old men.

At night, the old man usually can’t hold on any longer and takes a nap in the security room.

Of course, although it is not very safe for people, most areas of this place are equipped with surveillance. If something happens, the victim's location can definitely be found through surveillance.

Chu Qi walked to the window and opened the half-closed curtains completely.

The sun shone on her face and she bathed in it, feeling warm and comfortable.

Playing games can also relax your spirit after a day of running around.

After basking in the sun for a while, Chu Qi went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

There was nothing to eat in the refrigerator. Usually the original owner and his ex-girlfriend would go out to eat or order takeout.

Chu Qi looked around and only found five eggs on the top shelf of the refrigerator.

These five eggs...seem to have been bought by my ex-girlfriend last month, and she ate them with vegetable salad.

He didn't finish the meal and couldn't stand it after three days, so he dragged the original owner out for a big meal that day.

In addition to five eggs, there is also a box of self-heating hot pot hidden on top of the refrigerator.

Chu Qi hesitated for a while. She was really hungry and the self-heating hotpot was not enough to fill her up, so she decided to go out for a meal.
