Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 What Is Strength?
This was Xu You’s first time observing Dick at close range. He was a human uncle in his forties. His appearance was extremely ordinary, and his alcohol aura almost fainted Xu You. No wonder so many NPCs in the city hated Dick, and they didn’t know how the players who had stayed by Dick’s side for so long endured this “poison gas” attack.

“Mr. Dick? Are you alright?” Xu You probed.

Dick leaned against the trunk and sat on the ground. He breathed evenly, his eyes closed, and he looked as if he was drunk and asleep.

Xu You probed a few more times but didn’t respond. It seemed that Dick wasn’t awake and his full-value charm wouldn’t work. Then wake Dick up first. Xu You took out a small bottle from his bag. There was some liquid inside. It wasn’t wine, it was sober soup.

Decoction for sobering up drunkards: It’s what alcoholics need the most to wake up from their drunkenness.

This small bottle of sober-up soup cost Xu You a full silver coin. He found it in the Treasure Pavilion, He didn’t pay much attention to the bottle when he asked Lisi, the shop assistant in the Treasure Pavilion, for directions. However, when he found Dick and realized that the surrounding players couldn’t wake him up, he vaguely remembered that there was such an item that could wake him up. That was why he had specially bought this bottle of sober soup from the Treasure Pavilion and talked to Lisi Meimei about the disadvantageous month before arriving at the dock.

“I hope this thing works. It costs me half of my fortune!” Xu You placed all his hopes on this sober soup.

Xu You had actually observed for a long time, but he hadn’t seen any of the previous Knight players use this sober soup before. He discovered that there was someone who used alcohol to deal with Dick, but it was useless.

Perhaps, sober-up soup can only be sold in the Treasure Pavilion, However, the location of the Treasure Pavilion was somewhat remote. If he hadn’t gone there to ask for directions, he wouldn’t have known that there was such a strange item as the sober soup. The description of the sober soup was very vague. It didn’t return blood, blue, or gain. It was practically useless to players, so no one would have noticed it. Could it be that players would be drunk in the game? I’ll have to try before I know.

Now that Xu You had bought the sober soup, It was just a test of luck, He had his own method for triggering hidden missions. To put it simply, it was to keep trying. As long as there was a possibility of success, he would try it again. With his persistence and unique sense of smell for hidden missions, he would always be able to find the right method to successfully trigger hidden missions. This was one of Xu You’s abilities.

There was sober soup, but how could Dick, who looked like a dead man, drink it? Forcefully feeding him a drink? He didn’t know if he would offend Dick. Moreover, Dick was an expert. What if he was killed by the expert’s [Body Protection Astral Qi]? Now that he died, he had to lose experience. Xu You felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

“It takes less than an hour to get to the Professional Hall from here. I have to hurry!” But after a long time, Xu You still didn’t dare to move. He had tried to put the bottle of sober soup next to Dick’s mouth, hoping that Dick would open his mouth subconsciously. However, Dick seemed to be unconscious from drunkenness and didn’t react at all.

After doing it for a few minutes, Xu You finally lost his composure and muttered to himself, “F*ck, no matter what, this Dick isn’t a woman. There shouldn’t be any werewolf lightning protection, right?”

Xu You stretched out his left hand and pinched Dick’s cheeks. He opened Dick’s mouth, and his right hand rudely poured all the sober soup into Dick’s mouth. Then, he lifted Dick’s chin, allowing Dick to smoothly drink the liquid in his mouth.

After Xu You finished with these things, he squatted to the side and looked at Dick expectantly. Dick did not disappoint Xu You and soon made a move.

“Oh, my head … hurts so much, where … is this place?” Dick raised his hand with difficulty, touched his painful head, and moaned.

“Mr. Dick, are you alright?” Xu You was very happy to see Dick wake up, but he restrained his temper and didn’t immediately inquire about the hidden mission.

Dick opened his eyes and looked at Xu You. He then looked around and said, “It’s dark again? Looks like I’ve been drunk for another day …”

“You’ve been drunk for more than a day,” Xu You scorned in his heart, but on the surface, he still replied respectfully, “Yes, it’s already past blackjack in the evening.”

Hearing Xu You’s reply, Dick frowned as if he had just seen Xu You. “Who are you? Why are you here?” He asked.

“My name is Yue Wuyou! I’m a knight. It was a sergeant from Little Pool Village who called me to find you. He said that you are a powerful knight!” Xu You heaved a sigh of relief and finally got to the point.

“Chenglong? Who is he? I don’t know him.” Dick was puzzled.

“Oh, you probably don’t remember. Five years ago, you repelled the attacks of Naga and the Sea Giant here and saved his life, so …”

“Five years ago? That seems to be the case, but why did he ask you to come find me?” Dick’s words made Xu You’s face turn black. Why was this plot not right? Shouldn’t Dick be interested in his skeleton and wonder if he could save the world, and then pass on his abilities?

‘”This …” He didn’t ask me to come to you, but I learned your story from him, so I came here to ask Mr. Dick to teach me something! ” Xu You could only say this, hoping that his charm could be used as a starting point.

“Heh, it seems like someone came to me a few days ago. Although I’m drunk, I still know what’s going on around me. If you said you wanted me to teach you, then give me a reason. Why would I teach you?” Dick had a playful look on his face.

“…” Xu You was enraged. Why was this NPC so arrogant? Wasn’t it just a hidden quest? Just give it to him or not. What was there to be arrogant about? At this moment, Xu You was finally able to experience the feelings of ordinary players. At the same time, it also showed that his charm had failed.

After saying a few words, Dick seemed to be much more sober. He slowly stood up, and Xu You discovered that Dick was at least 190 tall, a head taller than him.

Dick looked down at Xu You condescendingly and smiled, “Can’t you answer? Then answer me, why do you want me to teach you?”

Dick’s pair of black hole-like eyes stared straight at Xu You. Xu You clearly felt a kind of pressure. However, this calmed Xu You down. It was just a hidden mission. There was no need to be too persistent. It was the best to receive it. There was no need to force it.

“Why? Of course, it’s to become stronger.” Xu You seemed to have put down an unnecessary burden and said with a smile.

Dick was a little surprised to see Xu You’s sudden change in expression. However, after hearing Xu You’s words, he smiled and said, “Become strong? Then do you know what it means to be strong? Why do you want to become strong?”

Hearing this, Xu You looked at Dick strangely. What did that mean? Strong was strong. Do you need any explanation? And do you still need a reason to become stronger?

Dick looked at Xu You’s puzzled expression and laughed. “You don’t even know the true meaning of strength, so what qualifications do you have to become strong? Go!” He said with disdain. Dick said arrogantly.

“Give me a chance, sir!” Xu You grinned, hoping that Dick would change his mind.

“Scram!” That’s what Dick said.

Xu You curled his lips. It seemed that he could no longer trigger this mission. However, just as he had thought, success or failure was just a mission. Xu You nodded to Dick, indicating that he was interrupted. Then, he turned around and prepared to leave.

But Xu You hadn’t gone far when he heard Dick’s voice again. “Kid, if you think of the answer, come back here and tell me. If I’m satisfied, maybe I’ll teach you something …”

Xu You was stunned for a moment before he laughed. This Dick was really capable. Perhaps, perhaps, your sister, if you think about it, then we can talk about it. Now, he’s going to do a quest and become a disciplinary knight.

…

In front of the entrance of the professional hall in the east of Sunrise City, the unyielding warrior looked at the magnificent building in front of him with satisfaction and said to himself, “Is this the professional hall? So I really passed by it before. I also said why is this building so strange? There are actually so many eight statues at the entrance.”

“Alright, now you can tell me that secret!” Divine Shield asked impatiently.

“En!” The orc warrior turned his head and said sincerely, “Thank you so much. I will tell you the secret now.”

“This secret is very simple. As long as you return to Novice Village to find the NPC who gave you the first mission, he will give you the mission! Don’t disbelieve me, I swear on my wife’s name that this is absolutely true!” The orc warrior said seriously.

Actually, how would an unyielding warrior know about a hidden mission? Everything was taught to him by Xu You, but this was really a secret.

When the three knights heard this, they were immediately stunned. This was the so-called secret? But! But we all know that just as they were about to speak, they were interrupted by the strong men of Buqu, “You’re welcome! This is what I should do. You brought me to the Professional Hall and I was able to walk around. Thank you very much!” The orc’s face was filled with tears of gratitude, causing the three knights to not know what to say.

After saying that, Buqu’s brave warrior quickly walked into the professional hall. It looked like he was in a hurry to complete a quest. Hammer of Justice sighed and said, “Forget it, take it as a good thing. He didn’t lie to us either. It’s just that we know all of his secrets, alas!” After saying that, he left the team, but in his heart, he thought, “So Dick’s mission is to reward a piece of green equipment. No, I have to go back and continue waiting.”

Divine Shield and too domineering were helpless. Buqu’s strong warriors did not lie to them, nor did they have any resentment. They could only blame themselves for their bad luck. The two of them also left the team one after another and went to do their own things.

Not long after, the orc warriors emerged from the professional hall. Looking at the three people who had left, He sighed, The orc warrior was filled with melancholy and nostalgia. His beastly eyes were as deep as the sea. If he smoked a cigarette, it would be the same as the story of a lonely young woman in a bar.

The unyielding warrior stood there blankly for a while before he opened his friend column and contacted Xu You, “Brother Wuyou, I’ve settled this. They’ve already begun to return. Is this enough time?”

“Mm, I’m done here. I’ll go to the professional hall now. Wait for me there!” Xu You replied.

“Ah? You managed to obtain a hidden profession so quickly? Brother, you are too powerful. However, what are you doing in the Professional Hall?”

“Go do a quest!”

“Oh … Ah? Do a quest?” Oh, it took half a day for the orcs to react.

…

Xu You said embarrassedly to the orc warrior, “This, unyielding, can you lend me one silver coin? I don’t have the money to learn skills …” He had already talked about his life with Knight Trainer Reuben of the Professional Hall and became a glorious disciplinary knight. However, when he wanted to learn the skills of a disciplinary knight, he found that his pocket was too shy.

“Oh, no problem!” The unyielding warrior did not hesitate at all.

“Hey, good buddy! I’ll take care of you first if it’s good in the future!” Seeing that the orc warrior was so straightforward, Xu You patted the orc’s thick shoulder and said with satisfaction.

“Right, unyielding, how did you add those 10 free attribute points?”

“Oh, that’s how I added it. Um, uh … I forgot.”

“…”
