After rushing into the secret realm's light gate, Xu Feng suddenly felt dizzy, as if he was thrown into a fast-stirring washing machine, and his head was about to explode.
Although he closed his eyes, Xu Feng could still feel a translucent light curtain appearing in front of his eyes, with dense lines of text flowing on it like a waterfall.
[Start entering the C1 level secret realm...]
[Beginning to digitize the entrant’s body…]
[Detection found that the physical fitness of the entrants is far below the average level of adult men, which may result in the inability to work in certain initial occupations due to physical reasons...]
[The difficulty of this secret realm is C1 level...]
[The time in this secret realm and the time in the real world have been adjusted to 3:1 by the controller of this secret realm. Please pay attention to the time difference when entering...]
[Beginning to assimilate the entrants into this world...]
[You will automatically master the relevant language and can interact fluently with the characters in this world. You will forget it after leaving this world. Unless you learn the relevant language skills in this world, you can retain it permanently...]
[The system detects that this is your first time entering this secret realm. We will disguise your identity for free. If you enter again, you will have to pay a certain price to disguise your identity...]
[After entering the secret realm, you will automatically receive a main quest. You must do your best to complete it, otherwise you may be severely punished...]
…
When Xu Feng opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a green grass. In the distance was a small town. On a tall archway were three large characters "Qingfeng Town" engraved in relief.
Standing up, Xu Feng found that he was wearing a patched coarse cloth shirt and trousers, a pair of straw sandals, and a bun on his head with some weeds on it. He looked like a poor commoner in ancient times.
Xu Feng did not leave, but stood there waiting quietly. After a while, the green grass in front of him seemed to be swayed by an invisible big hand, and countless green grasses kept moving, forming words.
[Main quest: Enter Qingfeng Town, talk to more than ten indigenous residents, get a brief understanding of the world in which Qingfeng Town is located and its operating rules, and obtain one or two gold taels through your own efforts; Reward for completing the quest: Obtain the status of a secret realm apostle, and increase your experience value by 5%. Penalty for failing to complete the quest: You cannot enter the secret realm again within one month.]
Xu Feng smiled slightly. This secret realm belonged to the principal Wei Hong. Even the main quest was issued by Wei Hong. It was a main quest without any danger.
In fact, in many secret realms, the penalty for failure in the main quest is often annihilation. This makes every apostle who enters the secret realm try his best to complete the main quest. Many times, they simply have no time and energy to find the heart of the secret realm.
"There are still about twelve hours before my father passes away. Converted into secret realm time, I still have thirty-six hours. As long as I can obtain the Zhiyang Fruit within these thirty-six hours, I can save my father from death!"
"There are actually two main tasks in Qingfeng Town. The first is to talk to ten indigenous residents and obtain some information, and the other is to obtain one or two taels of gold. Comparatively speaking, the second task will be more difficult." Xu Feng clenched his fists, closed his eyes slightly, and searched through his memory for all the information about the secret realm of Qingfeng Town.
In fact, the task of obtaining gold is nothing to some people. They will prepare the gold before entering, which means that the task is completed once they enter the secret realm.
In Xu Feng's opinion, this kind of opportunistic method is not advisable, and time is pressing. Buying gold in the real world requires a certain process, and Xu Feng can't afford to delay.
One hour in the real world is equivalent to three hours in the secret realm. Moreover, for other people, obtaining one or two taels of gold in the secret realm is difficult, but for Xu Feng who has been reborn, it is not a difficult task.
"If it were other people, if they didn't prepare the gold before entering the secret realm, the only option to complete this task would be to go to Qingfeng Town to do odd jobs and save a dozen copper coins a day. But for me now, there is a better way!" Xu Feng said to himself. This is why he dared not to prepare gold and directly enter the secret realm.
Qingfeng Town is surrounded by green mountains on three sides. A small river more than ten meters wide meanders through the outside of the town. This small river is the main water source for Qingfeng Town. The water is so clear that you can see the bottom. Standing by the river, you can see many small fish swimming in the water.
Xu Feng did not enter the town, but came to the river first, stood by the river and began to identify the direction.
A man standing in the middle of the river noticed Xu Feng and shouted towards him, "Young man, don't stand on the shore. Stay away. Be careful not to be washed away by the river."
Seeing Xu Feng looking at him, the fisherman waved his hand again, signaling Xu Feng to step back.
Xu Feng smiled, walked up to the fisherman, and asked loudly: "Uncle, the fish in the river are so small, can they be sold for money?"
The fisherman looked back at Xu Feng, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he shook his head and smiled: "I don't sell it for money. My family is poor. I catch some fish and make soup at home. It's also a bit of meat."
As soon as he finished speaking, a translucent light screen suddenly appeared in front of Xu Feng, with the words written on it:
[You have talked to a native resident of the Qingfeng Town Secret Realm, and the mission is 1/10 completed]
[You have a harmonious conversation with the fisherman in Qingfeng Town, and the fisherman's favorability towards you has increased by 2 points. You have opened the reputation of Qingfeng Town. At this time, your reputation in Qingfeng Town is indifferent 120/1000]
(Note: Reputation is divided into hatred, hostility, indifference, friendliness, reverence, and worship)
When Xu Feng saw the words in front of him, he couldn't help but smile. He waved at the fisherman and said, "Uncle, take your time fishing. I'll go somewhere else!"
The fisherman stared at the river, without raising his head, and said, "Be careful. Although this river is not deep, the current is very fast. Just stand on the shore and play, but don't go into the water."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"Got it. Goodbye, uncle!" Xu Feng waved to the fisherman and continued walking upstream along the river bank.
Realizing Xu Feng had left, the fisherman slowly raised his head, staring at Xu Feng's back with sharp eyes until he could no longer see Xu Feng. Then he bent down again and continued to stare at the water surface, ignoring the small fish that swam to him, but staring at the ripples in the water without blinking.
Xu Feng knew that he could obtain the initial profession of "Fisherman" from this fisherman who was fishing. Although the initial profession of "Fisherman" was only an E+ level life profession, he could have the opportunity to become a B level "Pirate" by changing his profession in the future.
In the previous life, there was a secret realm apostle who obtained the "Pirate" profession. He passed the level and mastered a special secret realm. Using the resources provided by this secret realm, this secret realm apostle eventually obtained the S-level profession "King of the Seven Seas". As long as he was on the sea, almost no one could compete with him.
Moreover, Xu Feng also knew in his heart that the fisherman was not fishing for ordinary small fish in the river, but for a kind of top-grade small fish called "golden line fish".
This fish is only as thick as a finger, with a golden stripe on its back. It swims very fast and is difficult to catch. However, the meat of the golden thread fish is soft and tender, and it tastes very delicious when boiled into soup. One fish can be sold for five taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver are equivalent to one tael of gold. In other words, as long as Xu Feng can catch two golden fish, the main task will be completed.
However, there are very few golden fish in this river, and they are extremely fast. Without certain fishing skills, even if you find a golden fish, you may not be able to catch it. In addition, once discovered by a fisherman, he will definitely be driven away. Once a conflict occurs, let alone whether Xu Feng can be a match for the fisherman with his current physical fitness, it would be extremely unprofitable to make enemies with the fisherman and affect his reputation in Qingfeng Town.
In addition to completing the main quest, Xu Feng also has to obtain the legendary S-level initial profession and the Zhiyang Fruit. To obtain it, he needs to make a lot of preparations in the early stages and requires a lot of money. Capturing golden fish cannot meet this requirement.
After walking upstream along the river bank for more than an hour, Xu Feng finally reached the source of the river. The river was actually an underground river that flowed out from a mountain range near Qingfeng Town.
Standing on a huge rock, looking at the river water gurgling out of the deep pool below, Xu Feng showed a bright smile on his face.
"This is it. It's the fastest place to earn money in the secret realm of Qingfeng Town. I should be the first one to dig here. I wonder how much I will gain. It's really exciting!"
Xu Feng smiled and jumped high, then put his hands together, raised them above his head, and dived into the pool of water like a swimming fish.
