Chapter 10 The Beacon Fire Show Princes
It is not suitable for a priest. After all, the priest in the Quanrong world is not a Christian priest, nor a monk or a Taoist. There is a real god behind the priest. In this magical world, although I don’t know how many abilities the gods in this world have, Zhang Cheng, as a time traveler, knows that he should not mess with the gods.
Thieves are unnecessary. In the real world, things like unlocking traps and stealing backstabs are not easy to use, at least they have limitations. Zhang Cheng has already figured out that the most suitable profession is a warrior and mage.
Like many fantasy games, Quanrong can also work part-time. A person has multiple professions at the same time. The benefits are of course very obvious. He has multiple abilities and can face more complex situations. This is the case for the so-called dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Of course, the disadvantages are also very obvious: slow upgrades.
In the same profession, high-levels have great advantages over low-levels. For example, a level 5 mage against a level 4 mage, one can do level 3 spells and the other only has level 2 spells. Under normal circumstances, it is like a father hitting his son.
In this game, there is no way to upgrade the experience value to different professions. Different professions will evenly divide the experience value and eventually become a defective product of "low martial arts and low magic".
But... can you easily get a career in the real world?
At least on earth, taking a job is not a simple job. For example, becoming a doctor, even according to ancient standards, you need to follow the teacher around for three or five years, see hundreds or thousands of patients, and see enough types of diseases before you can be called a "doctor". In the real world, it is impossible to join a trade union with an introduction letter, and then register within ten minutes and you will become a professional.
If there is really something like that, it is definitely not the real world. Or at least it is not the same material world as the earth.
Zhang Cheng walked all the way to the edge of the camp entrance. Sure enough, the old man who lost something (actually forgot something) was there, squatting on the ground in a daze, with a helpless look on his face.
"That, old man." In the Quanrong game, players only need to control the mouse and click on the other party. But in reality, Zhang Cheng needs to take the initiative to say hello thousands.
"Ah, young master." The old man was shocked by him and immediately stood up to salute.
This is the first time Zhang Cheng saw a native of the Quanrong world salute. He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong yesterday and forgot to salute Dr. Kunwu, who is obviously a few levels higher than him... Well, it's not his fault. There is really no saying that salutes in the game. It can only be understood that this is a code of conduct that everyone defaults to, and there is no need to emphasize. The game does not require additional instructions.
Zhang Cheng imitated the other party's actions and replied with a greeting. "Old man, look at you who are full of sorrow here, is there anything wrong?"
After Zhang Cheng asked this, the old man almost started crying immediately. It turned out that he was a businessman who was doing business back and forth, but unexpectedly there was a war here. The rest were nothing, but some of his key property was rescued back to the camp after great hardships, but he was stolen overnight by the thieves. He was empty-handed and didn't know what to do...
Although there are different specific words and sentences, the content is no different from that in the game.
Naturally, when Zhang Cheng took the initiative to help the elderly find things, the elderly could not object.
As mentioned earlier, this pile of things that are called "organized goods" by the game are actually not far away from the old man and can be seen at a glance. It doesn't matter in the game. After receiving the task, you can just go there to get things. Anyway, NPCs are invisible. But in reality, going there directly in the old man's field of vision, pulling things out is simply an open thief.
This is not easy to deal with.
In other words, this task has to wait. It is only appropriate to wait until the old man has rested or at least left this place.
Fortunately, the old man cried and felt very tired after he vented his emotions. Zhang Chengcai walked away not far away and noticed that the old man had crawled back into his tent. He probably was tired and had to rest for a while. Zhang Cheng waited patiently for a while, and then walked over. Sure enough, the old man fell asleep due to fatigue and lack of energy.
Taking this opportunity, I checked my taskbar first, and there was an extra task to find something (this is exactly the same as in the game), and then came to the place where the old man's property was hidden. As mentioned earlier, Zhang Cheng's personal opinion was that rather than saying that the old man was stolen, it was more likely that he had deliberately hidden it here but forgot it. So he took it out quickly. Unlike the game, the game was a whole item, which occupied a piece of package. But now he saw layers of metal ingots interlaced. It was very heavy. In fact, it was very difficult for him to carry a short circuit on his back. Can the old man, such a weak old man, really rely on his own strength to move it here? And there seems to be something different among the metal ingots...
There is a metal sword inside.
Zhang Cheng didn't know whether this was a short sword or a long sword, but it was quite beautiful. This was his first close contact with the sword in this world. The shape of this sword made people instinctively think of the ancient bronze sword unearthed from China. In other words, unlike the mature techniques on earth, this sword is integrated with the body and hilt of the sword. Not only that, it seems that there is a faint luster emitted on the blade.
By returning the whole thing, you can get the old man’s thanks, and the reputation of the camp is 1, thus starting the entire camp mission. But why did the old man lose these things? I used to think that the old man was forgetful... Now Zhang Cheng feels something is wrong.
Seeing that there was no one around, he first put the sword and some metal ingots back, and then carried the rest on his body.
The overall situation of the refugee camp is OK. Although it is called a refugee camp in the game, it feels that the atmosphere of pain and sorrow is not strong in reality. It should be that Doctor Kunwu took in as much residents as possible before the war was affected, and the people in the camp did not suffer much casualties or pain. When Zhang Cheng arrived at the camp gate, there were still a small group of infantry and a docking chariot guarding outside. However, Doctor Kunwu should have greeted him. The soldiers were obviously relaxed to Zhang Cheng and had no intention of being alert, let alone hostile.
Zhang Cheng came to the side of a few soldiers who stood scattered and saluted with the etiquette he had just learned. He originally thought it was just a greeting, but it alarmed the other party. Several soldiers put the spears in their hands and gave the gifts with both hands. Moreover, the few people looked flattered.
In other words, this action is a very formal etiquette... or a etiquette for the elders... Zhang Cheng was secretly careful. To be honest, although he became a guest of honor for Doctor Kunwu for no reason, it was because of the original owner rather than him. In this place, every move must be careful, like walking on thin ice. If someone reveals that he is not the original owner, he probably will join the dog heads soon.
There was nothing to hide, and there was no need to hide it. Who doesn't know about the old man? To put it bluntly, the old man withdrew the salary of the employee, made the other party angry, and took the old man's property directly. As for how he escaped, I really don't know. The old man cried and asked someone to chase him, but he didn't catch up. Although the old man swears that the property was heavy and the other party will definitely not run far. However, the guards at the door had the task of guarding the camp, and it doesn't matter if they chased a little distance, it would be impossible to get far away. So the matter was left, and the old man was left with the only one who regretted it.
In the Quanrong game, you can't understand the whole thing about the cause and effect. But it's different in reality. When Zhang Cheng asked clearly, he probably knew the consequences - if he did as he did in the game, the old man would thank him, but he was just thanking him. It would never be possible to give the sword that looked very good.
In fact, this is what happens in the game. Your real reward is Refugee Camp Reputation 1 (the experience value is universal, it can be said to be not a reward), and there is nothing else. This has nothing to do with the player himself, even the Haotian Bloodline plus the full value of the Charm.
But if you think about that sword, think about your short spear... which of the two is better is obvious. Of course, there is no conflict between the two at all. One is a long weapon (just change the handle), and the other is a short weapon, which can be owned at the same time.
Also, this metal ingot... He went around in circles and took out a metal ingot to the armor shop in the camp. The owner directly offered the purchase price "Shangbei Sanpeng".
Zhang Cheng didn't understand what "top shell" is, but the other party put on an expression of "mind-looking" and pointed out to him. It turned out that the currency in the Quanrong world is called "bean", and the lower shell is a smooth and neat shell, or it is a ceramic firing into shell shape, the middle shell is metal or ivory, bones, etc., and the upper shell is made into shell shapes such as jade or rhino horns. Putting these "shells" into a bag with a small bag that can hold about 20 pieces is called Yipeng.
Moreover, the store owner casually revealed that in some places, these metal ingots can be used directly as money after weighing the weight.
Zhang Cheng understood and returned to the old man's tent.
In the first act of the entire Quanrong game, the theme is the player's profession. Although this is a refugee camp, in fact, there are basically a few professions that want to take the second and third acts, everything else can be carried out in the first act. Among them, the warrior profession is the least difficult, you just need to ask the garrison captain for advice. As long as you are a commoner or above, he will teach you. Of course, there is a small premise: before teaching you, you must buy weapons and armor yourself.
In comparison, other professions, such as the priesthood, are much more difficult. The reputation of the refugee camp must be above 10 before you can find a priest. If you stuff a lot of money, you will reluctantly say that you can try it. In order to give it a try, you must work for him. The priest tasks of different gods are different, but they are all jobs that not only have no salary but also have to pay for your pockets. If you have the bloodline of the gods, things will be a little simpler, and you can achieve a 5-year reputation. Of course, you cannot lose a penny, and you cannot lose a errand task.
The mage mission and the warlock mission are the same. Basically, you need to keep talking. For money, you have to do hard work in the camp for a few days. Although according to the plot, the player is the "savior", the savior also starts by looking for cats, dogs, and children, cooking, chopping wood and digging gutters, feeding horses and digging feces, and doing all kinds of dirty and tiring work.
In fact, as a game, it doesn't matter. Through the computer screen, watching the characters you created do a few symbolic actions, a task is completed smoothly, and the experience value and money are obtained. Everyone understands that gutters are dirty, tiring and smelly, but they can't be expressed in the game. No matter what game, it is impossible for players to wait in front of the computer screen for a few hours, and watch the protagonist slowly dig the mud, let alone the unpleasant stench - even if you want to show it, you can't show it.
But reality is completely different. At least Zhang Cheng doesn't want to open the gutter or clean the toilet at all now - although according to the game standards, this is a task that is difficult and free to pick up money and experience value without fighting.
This is why it is easiest to take up a warrior profession, because the prerequisites for this profession are too simple.
Weapons and armor - besides making money to buy, it is not difficult to get it directly. Among the guards on duty at the door, there is a younger brother who is sick, and he needs to be on duty and cannot be separated. If you promise to help him take care of his younger brother for a day, he will give you the old broken armor. There is a ditch of waste piled up outside the camp where you can find a corpse of a murdered zombie. If you have strength greater than 13 and agility greater than 12, you can directly pull a "bending and broken sword" from the corpse. If you can't, carry the corpse back and you can find someone with strong strength in the camp to help you pull it out. If you get the ge head in the first act, congratulations, it can be sold for a small amount of money. After these three preparations are completed, you can go to the professional mentor to learn the way of warriors.
But now, Zhang Cheng's eyes were on the "magic leather armor" hanging by the owner of the armor shop. This armor only weighs the leather armor, but it has the defense of metal armor. The strongest armor in the first act is nowhere to be considered the best armor in the whole game. It is very difficult to get it. In fact, even if you complete all the tasks in the first act, it will be difficult to get enough money to buy it.
After thinking through the overall situation, Zhang Cheng walked around the tent and returned to the old man who fell asleep. A slight snoring could be heard in the old man's old tent. He coughed and called out, "Old man!"
A few minutes later, the old man crawled out of the tent in panic and saluted him.
"Young Master, what's the matter?"
"Old man, I found some things for you." Zhang Cheng put down the duffel bag on his shoulder. He didn't hold it all at once, and a few metal ingots fell outside. The old man picked up the things in panic and stuffed them all back into the package.
He reluctantly took the bag back into the tent, probably counted it, and then came out to ask. "I dare to ask where the young master found Lao Ke's property."
"But I found a little trace around the camp. I don't know if it's the old man's thing."
"Yes, it's just..." The old man wanted to say that his wealth was much less, but he couldn't say it when he looked at Zhang Cheng.
After all, the other party is definitely innocent and has nothing to do with the loss of his property. If the other party takes it, he would have taken most of it back to you with such kindness? It would be impossible to think about it!
"I understand!" The old man clapped his hands and finally understood why the damn thief, his former hired worker, could escape. The thief obviously walked a long way with his things, and was sure that he could not leave with such a heavy thing, so he threw away most of it, reduced his weight, and avoided the pursuit. "Hateful thief! May he be captured by Quanrong and eaten alive!"
"Well, old man, are there any problems?"
"It's hateful and hateful!" The old man wiped his tears. "This time I got the treasure, but it fell into the hands of the thief." He said hatefully.
"What treasure?"
"But it is a sword." The old man sighed. "It is said to be a divine weapon from ancient times, called 'Hanguang'. Although Lao Ke didn't know much, even if the sword was not an ancient divine weapon, it was a copy. It should be noted that only the famous craftsman dared to imitate those divine weapons and treasures, so even the copy was a treasure!" He shook his head, but he understood in his heart that the matter was over. Now that the war is in chaos, the little thief must carry the sword as a protective weapon.
"That..." Zhang Cheng suddenly moved his heart. He has helped the old man so much now, maybe it is the time to make things happen.
"Well, old man, you just said Quanrong..." Quanrong... This Quanrong is obviously not talking about games, but... a gnoll?
"Quanrong." The other party didn't notice it at all. "I didn't think it was like this before, but this time it was different. Even the emperor was killed by Quanrong..." The old man shook his head and sighed. "Although Doctor Kunwu is temporarily safe, it is only temporarily safe. It's better to go to the east. I want to go to Lu..."
These names... no matter what, after being translated by the "portable translator", they became Zhang Cheng's confusion. If it were in the game, Zhang Cheng felt that this was a manifestation of some kind of "intelligence" in the intelligent translation and transcoding software. Translating "emperor" into "the emperor" is actually more interesting. But... Zheng State? Quanrong? Killing the emperor? What other "Kunwu Doctor"? The chariot...
Although Zhang Cheng is not a history enthusiast, he received the compulsory education for China's standard. So he almost immediately linked several keywords in his mind, and thought of the historical allusion of "Fighting the Princes".
King You was unrighteous and favored Bao Si. In order to win Bao Si's smile, he "played with the princes in beacon fire". In the end, when the foreign enemy came, when the beacon fire was lit and the princes were summoned, the princes were afraid that they would not come. Without reinforcements, the country would perish and he would be killed. The whole thing is an upgraded version of the children's story "The Wolf is Coming".
