8: Very handsome and intimidating
In "universe ol", there is no distinction between day and night, and Ning Fengya generally prefers to enter the game at night.
Therefore, for Lin Du, the night is the most leisure and safest time.
After setting a few alarms on his phone, Lin Du lay on the bed and entered the game.
Closing his eyes, the space before him shifted rapidly.
When Lin Du opened his eyes again, he was already in an antique, ethereal mountain village, and a bustling atmosphere rushed towards him...
"The Dragon Imperial Alliance is recruiting new players. As long as your game time is stable, we can carry you for free leveling, and weapon and equipment packages are guaranteed later on!"
"Selling top-tier newbie equipment at low prices! Low prices, honest business!"
"The Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon Guild accepts all kinds of bounty missions. As long as your commission is sufficient, Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon can satisfy all your needs!"
"Renting advanced hacks. Use my hacks to automatically get double experience value, infinite boss treasure chest drops!"
"Are there any big brothers who want to team up or become a CP? Ying ying ying~~"
Novice Village No. 10086 is not big, but it is unusually lively, with all kinds of advertisements being promoted all around.
On the wide streets, countless novice players wearing small white shorts and holding different weapons hurried by.
"Ah!"
"There's a ghost!!"
"It's truly seeing a ghost in broad daylight. Did that player take this place as a horror movie set? This outfit scared this cute girl!"
At the novice player spawn point, several female players fled in a panic.
The abrupt shouting attracted the attention of many players. In a short while, the area around the novice player spawn point was crowded with people.
Players gathered together, pointing at someone in the spawn point.
"That player's outfit is so strange. He is also a Level 1 novice player, why is his novice equipment different from ours?"
"I've been hanging around Novice Village for so many years, and I've never seen anyone dressed like this when they spawn!"
"He must have awakened some top-ranked powerful Sequence Class, otherwise he couldn't have this privilege."
"Hmph! What kind of powerful class? Haven't you heard of a class called 'clown'..."
Lin Du stood in the wind, feeling a bit bewildered.
As expected of the Chosen One, he attracted a wave of attention as soon as he entered the game.
The novice players on the street were pointing and commenting, and the object of their attention was Lin Du, because his outfit was just too unconventional...
Other novice players were only wearing white shorts to cover their privacy, while Lin Du was wearing a handsome, imposing purple casual suit.
A slim-fit purple suit, an exquisite black bowtie, shiny pointed leather boots...
This unique outfit set off Lin Du's already tall figure, making him appear even taller and straighter, and he looked full of charisma.
If it were just this outfit, it wouldn't have scared the female players nearby.
What really attracted people's attention was the black, white, and red clown mask on Lin Du's face.
This clown mask was completely different from the many clown masks in movies and TV shows; it looked more like an imposing Grim Reaper mask!
The clown mask completely covered Lin Du's face. The mask's eyes were like two deep, jet-black whirlpools, emitting a dark and eerie faint light.
Below the eyes was a large, hooked nose. Below the long nose was a hideous, bloody mouth, and a mouthful of stark white, razor-sharp teeth.
Drops of scarlet blood stained the corners of the mouth, adding a sense of mystery and suffocation, as if the Grim Reaper himself had arrived!
Lin Du's outfit was very handsome and intimidating, but when the novice players learned that this was the unique outfit of the Sequence 999 class, clown, a wave of disdainful laughter immediately erupted around him.
The more shocked they were just a moment ago, the more disdainful they were now!
The horror and novelty that had just arisen in the players' hearts also disappeared without a trace in an instant.
It is very difficult to obtain the top 10 Sequence Classes in "universe ol", and the difficulty of obtaining Sequence 999 is even higher than the former. Throughout the history of "universe ol", there haven't been many "clown" players.
Lin Du helplessly patted his forehead.
He didn't want to be so conspicuous, but the "clown" class was just too damn terrible.
At this moment, Lin Du hated this filler "clown" class to the extreme. If he had another chance to choose, Lin Du would definitely not let this useless class appear in the world...
Amidst the mocking laughter, Lin Du walked alone towards the end of the street.
"Time is tight and the task is heavy; I must speed up."
The layout of the Novice Village was similar to the memories in Lin Du's mind; everything that should be there was there.
Lin Du did not go to do the novice leveling quests, but instead, according to the vague memories in his mind, walked quickly towards a dilapidated courtyard on the edge of the Novice Village.
The novice quests prompted by the system take a long time and the leveling speed is slow; not even a dog would do them!
As the chief designer of "universe ol", Lin Du naturally had a small bug that could allow for rapid leveling...
Soon, Lin Du arrived at his destination.
The small courtyard existed independently, surrounded by mulberry trees. In the courtyard, an old lady with gray hair was reeling silk.
The old lady's movements were very slow. While she was reeling silk, she kept sighing.
"Sigh! Damn it all, I don't know why the silk production is so low this year."
"With the same one hundred mulberry trees, this year's yield is only one-third of last year's. How is one supposed to live?"
Lin Du stood at the gate of the small courtyard. After hearing the old lady's complaints, he immediately pushed open the gate and walked in.
"Grandma Liu, I know why your silk production is so low!"
The old lady raised her head upon hearing the sound, her cloudy old eyes scrutinizing Lin Du vigilantly.
"Who are you! Why did you come to my house!"
"Uh..." Lin Du was momentarily speechless.
Shouldn't this old lady be grabbing his hand with an excited face right now and then issuing the quest?
How is this plot a bit different...
"Grandma Liu, I am the distant nephew of the younger brother-in-law of the woman surnamed Pan who lives upstairs from Wang Po who sells melons next door. My name is Night Ember." Lin Du made it up randomly.
The old lady looked vigilant, "Looking at your appearance, you don't seem like a good person. What are you doing at my house?"
Lin Du put on a smiling face, "I just happened to pass by here and saw that you, elder, are in trouble, so I wanted to help you solve it."
The old lady looked completely unbelieving, "Just you? You know why my silk production is low?"
"Of course I know! As long as you entrust this quest to me, I can help you solve this big trouble within an hour!"
"Would you be so kind?"
"Of course not, I need some reward!"
"What reward? Let me state in advance, this old lady sells cloth, not herself!"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your body! Just give whatever reward you see fit..."
【Ding!】
【You have received Liu Hongmei's hidden quest: Find the secret of the lost silk】
【Quest reward: Unknown】
【Difficulty: E-rank】
Having successfully received the hidden quest, Lin Du didn't stop for a moment and immediately ran towards the distant forest.
