Running map task

Yang Jian searched high and low for a long time but couldn't find the report button.

Otherwise, he would have definitely reported this cheating player.

Finding a corner, Yang Jian began to open his game panel.

Player: Tianmu Zhenjun

Profession: Hunter

HP: 200 / 200

MP: 100 / 100

Strength: 5+1 (Affects melee attack power, parry, etc., and secondary attributes like carrying capacity)

Stamina: 5+1 (Affects maximum HP)

He briefly looked at the main attributes, skipping over the secondary ones.

Talent: Devour (White)

Effect: Devour a white equipment no higher than your level, inheriting all of its attributes, stackable infinitely.

Cooldown: One hour

Upgrade Condition: Devour 50 pieces of equipment to upgrade!

Oh, right, this crappy talent also had a cooldown.

Tianmu Zhenjun: Do you have any level 1 white equipment over there?

Yueyin Qingya: I'm almost level three. It would be a shame for my talent if I didn't have any equipment!

Tianmu Zhenjun: Good, hurry up and level up. When I get there, you can carry me.

Yueyin Qingya: We're all in Newbie Village 9527. You're the only one missing. Luckily, our Newbie Village doesn't have any major guilds stationed here! We're the biggest group!

Tianmu Zhenjun: Then mail me two pieces of level 1 white equipment first! Preferably one for attack and one for defense.

Yueyin Qingya: Received!

Less than ten minutes later, a system notification popped up: new mail, needing to be picked up at the mailbox.

Yang Jian had just landed and hadn't had time to explore the Newbie Village thoroughly.

He stopped a player who was hurrying along and found out that there were mailboxes at the entrance of every inn!

Watching the other person run off, Yang Jian felt a pang of annoyance.

Damn it, you should have told me where the inn was before you left...

Fortunately, this so-called game didn't seem too serious, and all the NPCs could communicate normally.

Name: General Store Owner (Kassan)

Description: A survivor from a world once destroyed by the Abyss. Compared to her tragically deceased compatriots, she is extremely lucky! At least she can find a job as a Newbie guide...

Note: You're not really treating this as a game, are you? If you don't work hard, her current state will be your best outcome!

Yang Jian: ... "Hello, boss, excuse me, how do I get to the inn?"

Boss Kassan smiled, showing no sign of being a homeless person whose country had fallen.

"Oh, adventurer, would you like to see my goods?"

Boss Kassan answered irrelevantly.

"I don't have any money right now... I just arrived!"

Upon hearing he had no money, Kassan's smile faded.

"Turn right out the door, go past two intersections, and the biggest building on your left is it!"

"Thank you, boss!"

Knowing these were real people, Yang Jian didn't dare to be presumptuous.

Perhaps in the future, I'll be awesome, but for now, I'm just a small fry. One must recognize their current situation.

He jogged all the way and found the mailbox.

No need to open it; just by touching it, a blue light screen unfolded before his eyes.

This crappy game had this one flaw: it felt a bit disjointed.

It was like a game but not a game, probably giving the newly arrived Blue Star players some time to adapt.

From a stranger 'Lingyun IV's' package

That name was too casual. Who arranged it?

Yang Jian opened the package, which contained two white items.

Newbie Longsword (White)

Level: LV1

Attack: 2-5

Durability: 5 / 10

Very good, incredibly plain.

Newbie Cloth Armor (White)

Level: LV1

Defense: 5

Durability: 3 / 10

Very good, incredibly plain.

Yang Jian immediately devoured the Newbie Longsword.

Don't ask why he didn't wait until he reached level two. He was still planning to do the map-running quest to change Newbie Village!

A slight delay, and the one-hour cooldown would be over.

Talent: Devour (White)

Effect: Devour a white equipment no higher than your level, inheriting all of its attributes, stackable infinitely.

Cooling Down: Remaining time 59 : 47

Upgrade Condition: 1 / 50

Looking at his secondary attributes again, his attack power had increased from 17 to 21, which, in some respects, was quite good.

He wasn't in a hurry anymore. Since he had already delayed for most of the day, Yang Jian simply wandered around the Newbie Village.

Anyway, he had many subordinates; he would wait for them to reach a higher level.

Once he got there, he would directly fight high-level monsters and quickly catch up on the level difference.

The small Newbie Village, which looked no bigger than a palm, quickly led Yang Jian towards the square where the village chief was located.

Although the village chief had his own home, many people were looking for him today for quests and map changes, so his house was in a mess, and he had to work in the square.

When he was about five meters from the village chief, Yang Jian felt a distortion in space.

Standing in front of the village, the once bustling square now only had Yang Jian.

And the village chief, who originally had a table, chairs, and a parasol, now stood there with a blank expression.

salvation was said to be a game, but it was indeed ambiguous.

The most obvious point was that currently, no player or NPC in the entire village was running around with a title above their head!

Except for the village chief... Village Chief: Village Chief Wang Hu

Just by his name, one could tell this was not a kind old man. The burly-faced Village Chief Wang Hu had a blank expression.

"Hello, brave warrior, welcome to salvation!"

Perhaps sensing Yang Jian's confusion, Village Chief Wang Hu spoke first.

"Hello, Village Chief, I'm here to accept the quest to change Newbie Village!"

Without any unnecessary words, the quest was immediately issued.

Ding, the Village Chief has arranged for Delong of the Blacksmith Shop to do something, but he is currently too busy to leave. Please help deliver a letter to him.

Quest Reward: EXP + 1, Copper Coins + 2

He turned and walked a few steps, leaving the mirror space.

"Go away, go away, don't crowd around here. I don't have any quests for you. If you don't scram, I'll have to take action!"

Yang Jian looked back and saw that this Village Chief Wang Hu had no name above his head, his expression was lively, and he even cursed... The map-running quest was a basic game mechanic, delivering a few letters to familiarize you with the Newbie Village's layout and the locations of important NPCs.

In most other games, many veteran players would skip this step.

What's the point of running around? Over time, you'll naturally learn about the village.

However, in salvation, the game also offered a quest to change Newbie Villages, which led many people to have no choice but to complete this Newbie guide quest.

Having accepted the quest, Yang Jian began his map-running tasks.

On the way to the blacksmith shop, Yang Jian saw three or four people surrounding a crying little boy.

"Waaah, waaah, my Big Yellow is gone!"

"Little brother, give me a quest, and I'll help you find him!"

Seeing this, Yang Jian curiously stopped.

Let me see what's going on?

Next to Yang Jian, there were several other players who had stopped to watch the commotion.

"These guys seem to be new!"

"This kid has no quests at all..."

"How do you know there are no quests? Maybe it's a hidden quest?"

The murmuring voices were heard by the players surrounding the child, and they retorted indignantly!

"Hey, kid, you're only level one, right? You wait, once you leave the Newbie Village, I'll chase you down and kill you!"

The player next to Yang Jian was clearly someone who had joined since the server opened, probably already level two... Although Yang Jian didn't understand why a level two player felt such superiority over a level one, it wasn't a huge advantage!

The young man on the other side was clearly not intimidated!

"Alright, see you in the wilderness outside the East Gate later. If you don't show up, you're my grandson..."

"Hey..."

Although watching others argue was entertaining, Yang Jian wasn't in the mood to watch them bicker!

Name: Crying Tie Dan

Description: Tie Dan came out to walk his dog, accidentally fell asleep, and now the dog has run away. He's afraid of getting scolded when he goes home! You can help bring the dog to him! Hidden quest, rewards beyond your imagination!

Note: It's a hidden quest, so why aren't you rushing to do it?

Hint 1: Big Yellow changes location every hour. You can go outside the city to hunt wild rabbits and collect rabbit meat. Once he's full, Big Yellow will obediently follow you!

Hint 2: Big Yellow is currently sleeping in a haystack in the village's threshing ground. His color is similar to the haystack, so you need to look carefully to see him.

Hint 3: Time remaining 00 : 27

"I've seen Big Yellow, but I can't catch him. When I tried to grab him, he turned around and bit me!"

"Then you didn't die?"

"One HP left!"

A passing player exclaimed!

Yang Jian was surprised: "Are you all that idle? Don't you need to kill monsters to level up?"

The passing guy apparently had a belly full of grievances he wanted to pour out.

"This crappy game, if it weren't for the full-sensory experience and nice scenery, I wouldn't even want to play it!"

"Brother, elaborate?"

"You can defeat level one monsters at level one, but when you go to fight level two monsters, you can't defeat them solo... You at least need a tank class to hold them off to win!"

"And if you come back to hunt wild rabbits, you might not even snatch one in twenty minutes!"

Yang Jian: ...
