Chapter 58: Benefits for newbies during the protection period?
"Huh? It turns out this skill is really good!"
Cai Cai happily tried out her skills and found that she could actually draw a space out of thin air - this space seemed to exist independently of the world. She couldn't explain where the small space was and how it appeared, but she could sense its existence. This was an experience she had never had before and it felt very wonderful.
However, once this space is "outlined", it cannot be changed, but it can be "expanded".
Caicai the Shiba Inu fumbled around, trying to expand the entire space to its maximum - but it was only a few hundred cubic centimeters, at most the size of a basketball, far less than the Qiankun bag that could be exchanged at the sect's store.
Despite this, Shiba Inu Caicai also found it very fresh. She first broke off a small branch and "threw" it into the space, then "threw" in a few leaves, and then took out and put in again and again, taking out and putting in again, and she had a lot of fun. She didn't get tired of it until the blue bar was exhausted, but she still felt unsatisfied.
Jia Xiaoren, who was standing by, stared at the newbie's stupid and foolish behavior, then looked at the Qiankun bag in his backpack that he had bought at a huge price, and felt jealous.
We are all players, why are you so lucky? It can't be the legendary benefit of the newbie protection period, right? But I didn't have this luck when I was a newbie! After being jealous for a while, Jia Xiaoren suddenly had an idea and asked, "By the way, you just entered the game and haven't become a disciple yet, right? Why don't you become my disciple? Although my combat power is not high, I will take good care of you and will definitely not let you go alone!"
Shiba Inu Caicai asked in surprise: "Become a disciple? In this game, can you become a disciple?"
Jia Xiaoren nodded and said, "It's a new feature that was added after this update. It's called the Master-Apprentice System. It's a benefit for old employees to teach new employees. Completing tasks will give the master and apprentice points, which can be exchanged for props. In addition to special effect pendants, there are also Qiankun bags! What do you think? Would you consider becoming my apprentice?"
Who wouldn't want to be led by a master? Not to mention that this master was very nice, willing to lead a newbie to complete the mission even though they didn't know each other, and explained so many details to her in such a gentle manner, which reminded her of her first experience playing Swordsman 13. She was quite excited and nodded quickly: "Wow! Great, great!"
Then, a dialog box popped up in front of Shiba Inu Caicai:
[Player [Jia Xiaoren] requests to accept you as his apprentice]
After choosing to agree, the master-disciple interface popped up automatically. Chai Gou Cai Cai saw that she was actually Jia Xiaoren's first disciple - it seemed that she would be the "big sister" with the greatest "generation" in the future! Thinking of being surrounded by a group of lovely junior brothers and sisters in the future, Chai Gou Cai Cai suddenly laughed foolishly.
"Since we are all family now, I just so happen to have a lot of extra skill books here, so I'll give you one. You can use it first."
As Jia Xiaoren spoke, he took out a thin book from somewhere and handed it to Chai Gou Cai Cai.
"Wow! Thank you, Master!"
Cai Cai took it and saw that it was the skill book for [Wind Control], which was said to be a must-have for players in the forum's newbie guide! She felt embarrassed and wanted to return the skill book. She said, "Ah! This should be very valuable now! How can I get it for free?"
Jia Xiaoren waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay, you can use it first. It's not difficult to brush, and the drop rate is quite high! Besides, I've also played Swordsman 13. When I played it before, my master also prepared bags, meatballs and green onions for all of us disciples. Even my master bought me a set of equipment for me to use during the transition. Although I have been playing Swordsman 13 for a long time, but... let's just regard it as our sect's tradition!"
"Well, thank you, Master!"
Shiba Inu Nana hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse and accepted the skill book.
Then, she couldn't wait to use the skill in her backpack, and successfully acquired her second skill: [Wind Control]. The two of them talked, and in a few minutes, they arrived in front of a small temple.
The small temple is a brand new stone temple. It looks much more majestic and larger than the screenshots on the forum. It seems to be newly built and can almost accommodate players squatting inside.
There were seven or eight players scattered around the stone temple, many of whom were walking around the temple, muttering something, looking very strange.
In addition, there was an offering table in front of the temple, on which were placed all kinds of strange delicacies, including roasted meat wrapped in leaves, a whole clay ball that smelled like poultry - Chai Gou Caicai guessed that it should be beggar's chicken, strange roasted fish, and even garlic shrimp, which seemed to be cooked very well...
With a "gulp", the Shiba Inu Caicai couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
Although she had eaten, the taste of the food in the game was so realistic that she felt a little greedy just by smelling the aroma.
Jia Xiaoren pointed at the stone temple and introduced: "Disciple, mark it on your map. This is Huang Gong Temple. You can come here every day to receive quests and try out adventures. However, since the server was launched, Wang Ergou was the first to trigger the adventure. In all those days, only one player has triggered it. It's hard to say the probability, but it never hurts to try. The rewards given by the BOSS in the adventure are really good! You can make a fortune as long as you trigger it!"
Shiba Inu Caicai had heard that there were adventures in the game, but she wasn't too sure about the details, so she asked, "Okay! But how do I trigger it?"
"The two ways summarized so far are to get close to Huang Gong Temple, or to reach into Huang Gong Temple and touch the stone statue. If you can reach in, it probably means it's triggered. But I don't recommend you do this, because Wang Ergou, who did this, suffered terrible consequences. Now Huang Gong's favorability towards him is -100, and it can never be restored, and he can't complete the tasks given by Huang Gong. Another player who triggered the encounter said that he was triggered just by getting close to the stone temple, but before he got close to the stone temple, he specially placed a beggar chicken on the altar. You see, these things on the altar are all metaphysical things that everyone has made up to trigger the encounter, because everyone thinks that bribing Huang Gong in this way might be useful, so everyone usually brings some miscellaneous food to the altar, and then walks around the temple twice—"
Before Jia Xiaoren could finish his words, he saw Cai Cai, a Shiba Inu who had just approached the Huang Gong Temple out of curiosity, being blown into the sky by a black gust of wind that appeared out of nowhere.
"ah--"
Listening to the screams full of fear, Jia Xiaoren numbly flew up into the air, and together with other players who reacted quickly, they retreated more than ten meters, maintaining a relatively safe distance from the Huanggong Temple which was gradually filled with black mist.
The screams soon stopped, and the avatar of the new apprentice in the team list turned gray.
Very good, the apprentice sent it.
"Master, I...I seem to have triggered an adventure..."
The voice of Shiba Inu Caicai rang out in the team microphone, but it pierced Jia Xiaoren's heart like a knife.
"I know, I saw it," Jia Xiaoren listened to the shocked and envious comments of the players around him, and his calm tone could no longer suppress the jealousy in his heart: "Disciple, tell me, are you also a member of the uncle's party?"
