Chapter 9 The Bear Who Fears Ghosts



Lin Fuxia had never thought of hiding it from the village chief. Telling a lie that was too easy to be exposed would be like burying a landmine for himself. If the village chief discovered it one day, it might affect his favorability.

But there is still room for discussion on how to tell this truth.

So, without waiting for the village chief to change color, Lin Fuxia immediately complained, "But I had no choice."

She briefly recounted what happened by the river, and also explained her grudge with Baidutang in a way that the village chief could understand.

"Although they attacked me first, they still hold a grudge against me and repeatedly send people to kill me. I was so angry that I used them to catch a few scavengers."

He said with a worried look on his face: "Now they and I are at loggerheads. If I stay in Baishan Village any longer, I'm afraid it will bring trouble to the village."

The village chief's face darkened. "These people are truly lawless. They are unreasonable in the first place, yet they still have the nerve to hunt you down and even shout about killing in the village! What do they think this place is?"

The village chief patted Lin Fuxia on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, this is not your fault. Don't worry, just stay in the village. They can't bully you."

Lin Fuxia lowered his eyes, passed the test and applied eye drops successfully!

Her NPC favorability is as high as 12. Currently, those people in Baidu Hall definitely don’t have a higher favorability than her. The village chief will obviously be more likely to believe her words.

Didn't the Baidutang team up to attack the game together? Didn't they want to unite and seize the initiative?

If the NPCs dislike us, will our development be hindered?

However, seeing the village chief's sincere look, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty, feeling that she had cheated a good person.

She looked grateful. "Thank you, Village Chief, for trusting me. I really don't know how to repay you. Is there any difficult work in the village that you can give me? I will not hesitate, even if it means climbing a mountain of swords or diving into a sea of ​​fire."

Village Chief Bai pondered and said, "There is indeed such a job, but it is quite dangerous."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of danger!"

Risk means high returns.

"Well, there are many beehives on the mountain behind our village. We used to go into the mountains to collect honey, but then a den of black bears came into the mountains. The men in our village all went to the front lines to fight, so the elderly, weak, women and children who were left didn't dare to go into the mountains anymore."

"If you're willing, please go and get some honey for us."

Lin Fuxia said: "No problem, leave it to me."

[System Prompt] You have completed the daily task of the villagers in Baishan Village: Capturing Scavengers. You have captured a total of 1,895 scavengers this time, obtained 5,685 copper coins, and NPC favorability +1.

[System prompt] You have accepted the task of Village Chief Bai: harvest honey.

Lin Fuxia thought to himself that catching scavengers was really profitable. Unfortunately, the buff of the scavenger title had disappeared, and after the level went up, catching scavengers no longer counted as experience points.

Then, Village Chief Bai gave Lin Fuxia a set of honey harvesting tools.

Bee-proof clothing, buckets for collecting honey, knives for cutting beehives, and bee-repellent incense to smoke away the honey.

The village chief solemnly handed these tools to Lin Fuxia and repeatedly reminded him: "Be careful. Even if you, the people from another world, have nine lives, using one is one less."

Lin Fuxia's eyebrows jumped: "Nine lives?"

The village chief paused, looking as if she had let something slip. Just then someone called her outside, so she hurried out.

Seeing the village chief leave in a hurry, Lin Fuxia narrowed his eyes slightly.

Players only have nine lives?

What does this mean?

As mentioned in the game promotion, players are advised to pay attention to their number of deaths. In "New World", each player has one account, and if you delete it, it will be gone.

So, the maximum number of times a player can die in the game is nine?

So what happens after nine times?

"Three possibilities."

One possibility is that you can never leave the game, dying completely in the game, or existing in a non-living state. However, this speculation is too terrifying and unlikely.

The second is that you can never enter the game again. After all, your lives in the game have been used up.

There is also a third possibility. After dying nine times, it will cause some harm to the player. After all, this game can stimulate potential, so it will definitely have an impact on the player's brain.

Lin Fuxia thought for a moment and decided to be more careful next time and not die in the game.

She walked out of the house, avoiding the crowd and heading towards the back mountain.

After Lin Fuxia left, Village Chief Bai reappeared. He looked at the heroic and proud figure with great admiration, but when he thought of the Hundred Poison Hall, his face darkened.

Chasing people in the village?

Who gave them the courage?

While she was sending a message to her old mother, asking her to keep an eye out for the people from Baidutang, she went to the river herself.

Then this time when I went there, I found that the situation of those aliens killing each other was even worse.

There are also more cases of using people as bait!

Inhumane! Inhumane! Inhumane!

The village chief was furious and immediately stripped these people of their status as Baishan Village residents and drove them out.

The people who finally endured the humiliation and came in to pick up the shoes: "???"

Then the forum exploded again, and again.

Countless posts popped up.

#Why is it okay to use people as bait when it’s important to make money, but we are kicked out? #

#Making money is important, what's the background? #

#Making money is important, come out and give an explanation! #

#The game company came out, how funny! #

#I’m drunk, I don’t want to play this double standard dog game anymore! #

This time, Lin Fuxia really didn't know what kind of bloody storm he had caused.

She walked for half an hour and finally entered the mountain.

As soon as we entered the mountains, the temperature dropped. The trees here are very tall, basically starting from 10 to 20 meters.

She was on guard against the black bear family while looking for a beehive.

Then they soon found the target on a big tree.

There is a large beehive on the branch, and little bees are busy going in and out.

She put on a bee-proof suit, hung the honey bucket and knife around her waist, and started climbing the tree.

She is very good at climbing trees, and this skill has not been lost in the game.

She quickly climbed up a tree branch more than ten meters high, found a fulcrum to support her body, took out the bee-repellent incense, lit it, and placed it under the hive. As the smoke spread, the bees began to buzz and fly around, looking very anxious.

Some honey flew away, while some honey was still lingering around the hive, unwilling to leave.

However, after a long time, the honey could no longer hold on and more and more honey flew away.

Lin Fuxia placed the bee-repellent incense horizontally on the tree trunk and continued to burn it. He then took out a knife and began cutting along the beehive.

Crash.

As the knife cut, the solid honeycomb was squeezed and the golden and sticky honey began to flow down like rain. Lin Fuxia felt distressed when she saw it. She finally cut off a large piece of honeycomb and put it into the bucket.

The sweet aroma of honey lingered in her nose, and she couldn't help licking her fingers. Then her eyes lit up. What a sweet honey!

In her previous life, she was not short of money, but there were many good things in this world that could not be bought even if one was rich. At least wild honey of this level was not so easy to obtain.

She cut off a small piece without the bee eggs and started chewing it.

Mmmmm, it’s so sweet and delicious!

Then she got the prompt [Physical Strength +1, +1]

I just walked a long way, and the 2 points of physical strength consumed by climbing the tree were quickly replenished.

Lin Fuxia was surprised that this honey could actually replenish physical strength.

That’s right, eating can replenish physical strength, and this honey is so sweet and of such good quality that it’s not surprising that just two bites can replenish physical strength.

I don’t know how much this honey can be sold for.

Leave some honey to take back and hand in the task, and she can keep the rest for herself, right?

Lin Fuxia squinted his eyes and pondered, while eating and continuing to harvest honey.

Suddenly, a loud roar came from the distant mountains and forests. Lin Fuxia froze. It was the roar of a bear!

Before she could react, a majestic black bear ran out from the woods. Its huge body was two meters tall at the shoulder, and it would be even more impressive if it stood up!

The big black bear ran straight towards them: "Roar, roar, roar! Who, who stole my honey! Mine!"

Lin Fuxia thought he was hallucinating. This bear could actually speak!

Well, since he can speak, his IQ is probably not low and he can’t be fooled easily.

She thought for a moment and tried Shadow Escape.

Although I didn’t learn it successfully, at least I learned half of it, which should still be useful.

Then she saw her hands clinging to the tree trunk become transparent.

“Success!”

But when she looked down, she saw that her legs were still solid.

So, does this mean that the upper body has disappeared?

The big black bear had already run to the foot of the tree and was circling around on the grass leaves dripping with honey, looking extremely angry. Then it raised its head, its fangs bared, and if it found a honey thief in the tree, it would pounce on him without hesitation.

However, the next moment, its expression froze, and its eyes widened as it stared at the tree.

There was no one in the tree.

But it has two legs.

It just hangs there, floating slightly in the air.

The big black bear took two steps back and rubbed his eyes with his two front paws. He still had the same pair of floating legs and was still wearing the same earthy white pants.

It howled, its fur standing on end, and turned and ran: "Ahhh! Ghost!"

The sound made the entire forest shake, and the bear's shadow moved so fast that even the hair on its butt could not be seen.

Lin Fuxia: “…”

It's so prosperous and dazed. In this game, even a bear is afraid of ghosts.

Game planner, are you okay?
