Chapter 3 Entering the Novice Village



Lin Fuxia didn't know that the game world was in chaos. She had already left the square and ran away very fast.

After the world announcement, she felt relieved when she saw that xxx.

She attracted a lot of attention, luckily she kept her ID hidden.

Looking at the rewards you received, the three rewards combined are a total of 202 gold coins, 2 attribute points, and 2 points of NPC favorability.

1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 100 copper coins!

Open the game panel and find the currency transaction column.

[Currency trading will be available in 24 hours. Current estimated exchange rate: 1 copper coin = 1.3 credit coins.]

Lin Fuxia raised her eyebrows, so she earned more than 20,000 yuan in one go!

Not bad, no wonder those two wanted to kill her, it turns out she could make so much money.

Looking at the two attribute points again, Lin Fuxia thought about it and added them both to agility.

Agility represents movement speed, attack speed and dodge ability. For an assassin, this is the most important attribute.

As a player, it's best to seize an advantage early on and strengthen it. When attribute points are limited, trying to evenly distribute them across all five attributes will often lead to mediocrity across the board.

She looked back at the square. Those people had not come out yet, but had started fighting. There was billowing smoke and dust, and shouts of killing.

Good job, you guys continue playing while I go level up!

She ran towards the village ahead.

In other holographic games, newcomers would first complete tasks in the Novice Village, so what she had to do now was to find an NPC to receive tasks.

However, at the bridge leading to the village, she saw an old lady with white hair and a cane.

Lin Fuxia was delighted. This was obviously not a player, but an NPC. She wondered if she had any mission.

She hurried over, and when the old lady saw her coming, she suddenly took off one of her shoes and threw it under the bridge.

Lin Fuxia:?

The old lady said loudly: "Little girl, you are just in time, help me pick up my shoes!"

Lin Fuxia:?

If you accidentally drop your shoes and see me coming, you can ask me for help and let me pick them up.

What does it mean to throw shoes down intentionally?

And I didn’t receive any system notification that “I accepted a certain task”?

Lin Fuxia felt that this old lady was just looking for trouble.

Or, what kind of test is this?

In the personal panel, there is a special indicator for NPC favorability. Obviously, this favorability is very important, so she hesitated for a moment, and still went down from the river bank honestly and picked up the shoe.

The river bank was a bit slippery, and after going up and down, the soles of her shoes were covered with mud.

She gave the shoes to the old lady.

The old lady snorted, stretched out her foot, and said very arrogantly, "Put it on me."

Lin Fuxia: “…”

Lin Fuxia felt that this NPC was probably trying to trick someone.

She stared at the old lady, thought for a moment, and then squatted down to put her shoes on.

After putting on the shoes, she thought that the matter was over and the old lady would give her a treat. However, the old lady with gray hair on her temples smiled at her, and then, under her gaze, took off her shoes and threw them off the bridge.

He stared into Lin Fuxia's eyes and said, "Girl, go and help me pick up my shoes."

Lin Fuxia: “…”

Fuck you!

Are you kidding me?

She tightened her grip on the dagger.

The old lady glanced at the dagger in her hand, and a cunning look flashed in her somewhat turbid eyes, as if she was expecting Lin Fuxia to attack her.

Haha, I can bear it!

It is definitely not okay to attack NPCs. They must have a purpose for doing so.

She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, "Okay, I'll pick it up."

She turned around, went down the slippery river bank again, picked up the shoe, and climbed up again with difficulty.

After all this, her physical strength dropped by 1 point.

Coming up to the old lady with a dusty face, she forced a smile and said, "Old lady, I found the shoes."

The old lady looked at her and slowly stretched out her feet: "Put them on for me."

really!

Lin Fuxia maintained a professional fake smile and put it on her again.

Then she stared at the old lady, and when she saw her about to take off her shoes again, she hugged the old lady's arm without saying a word: "Old lady, the wind on this bridge is so strong that it will give you a headache. Where is your home? Let me take you back!"

Having said that, he took her by the arm and walked towards the village without saying anything.

"Hey, what are you doing? The old woman is calling for help!"

Lin Fuxia used all her strength to carry her all the way to the village, shouting: "Whose old lady is missing! Leaving her alone on the bridge is so dangerous!"

Suddenly, a lot of people came out of the village, basically the elderly, the weak, women and children, all looking at Lin Fuxia as if they were seeing something strange. Their eyes showed curiosity, surprise, expectation, and resistance, which made Lin Fuxia feel strange.

It was as if these people were not NPCs, but real living people.

A cheerful woman in her thirties, wearing a linen skirt, came over and said with a smile, "I'm the head of Baishan Village. Thank you for sending my mother back."

She looked at the old lady and said, "My dear, I'm having breakfast. Where have you been?"

The old lady snorted, and pulled her arm out of Lin Fuxia's hand. She glanced at Lin Fuxia and said reluctantly, "He looks like a fool, but I didn't expect him to be quite smart. Come on, come now."

Lin Fuxia: "..." What do you mean by looking like a fool? What's wrong with me?

Wait, my intelligence is only 5 points, which is below the passing line. Doesn’t that make me a fool?

The corners of her mouth twitched, and suddenly, a system voice sounded:

[System prompt] You have passed the test of Mrs. Bai and successfully entered Baishan Village. You are rewarded with a pair of [Mrs. Bai's cloth shoes] and NPC favorability +1.

Hearing this voice, Lin Fuxia felt relieved. It was indeed a test, and passing the test did have its benefits.

When she looked up, she saw Village Chief Bai looking at her with eyes that cared for her like a fool, with a bit of appreciation and love in his eyes, and then he handed her a sign: "Since you have come to our village, you will be a member of our village from now on."

[System prompt] You have received the villager identity card from Village Chief Bai

[Baishan Villager ID Card: Wearing this ID card makes you a Baishan Villager, allowing you to enter and exit the village freely. Baishan Villager Favorability +1.]

Lin Fuxia quickly took the ID card with both hands and put it on his belt.

Village Chief Bai smiled and said, "My mother has been feeling down lately. Could you please go catch two grass carp from the river? I want to make her some soup. Also, last month, the upstream village released water, and some fierce fish came down with it. Be careful when you catch them."

[System prompt] Do you accept the commission from Village Chief Bai: Catch two big and fat grass carps?

The mission had finally arrived! Lin Fuxia quickly chose to accept it, then holding the fishing rod given by the village chief, he headed towards the river with a heroic and confident look.

After walking a distance, she immediately checked the rewards she had received.

Note: Don't underestimate these cloth shoes. Wearing them makes walking light and fast. Mrs. Bai is still able to stroll around at her age thanks to these shoes. So if you lose them, be sure to pick them up!

Lin Fuxia immediately put on the shoes and looked at his panel.

Little did she know that after she left, the villagers started talking about it.

"The aliens have really arrived, and we have someone to work for us!"

"The village is about to get lively."

"I don't ask for much, just build me a new house."

"Don't be too happy too soon. What if it's a bad guy?"

The village chief narrowed her eyes slightly. When she returned home, her mother sat at the table with a sullen face. She sighed, "Mom, look at it more positively. The arrival of these aliens is a good thing. They can do a lot of things."

Old Mrs. Bai snorted, "It's not like we begged these people to come here. Our lives were a bit hard, but we were peaceful. Now... oh, I'm worried. These people are definitely going to cause trouble."

"The ancestors have blessed us with protection from these people. Moreover, we don't need to send our own children to serve in the army or conscription in the future. These people are said to be eager to go."

As she spoke, the village chief's voice lowered. Looking at the empty house, her eyes were somewhat sad. Her father, husband, and son had all gone to the battlefield and never returned.

Mrs. Bai was startled, then her expression softened. She continued, "We can't have both the fragrant and the stinky come in. Just because one is good doesn't mean the next one will be good too. I still have to stop them."

After saying this, he picked up his crutches and left in a hurry.

Halfway through the walk, he turned back and said, "That girl isn't very smart. Tell her to go fishing and don't let the fish get dragged into the water."
