Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 3

Chapter 3 A Fortuitous Encounter?
Charm, mainly affects the NPC’s favorable impression of you. 10 charm points. This is already the maximum value of the initial attribute, which means that Xu You’s charm is full value.

Xu You’s understanding of charm was limited to its descriptions, but he wasn’t sure what exactly was the use of it. Could it be that it wasn’t reputation that affected NPC’s favorability? However, Xu You somewhat understood why Uncle Riding Dragon had displayed such a friendly expression just now, but what benefits did this have? Was it just to make the NPC treat you better? Looks like to understand the role of charm, we can only contact NPC more.

Thinking of this, Xu You had the momentum again. He didn’t care about other people’s advantages, but his advantages were right in front of him! How could he not make good use of it? Although he had actually ignored his own advantages for so long, would he tell others that after entering the game for an hour, he discovered that his charm attribute was at full value?

Xu You quickly returned to the field and continued to hunt turkeys. The number of players in the field did not decrease at all. A few minutes ago, Xu You, who was lucky, was still unable to snatch a monster. Thus, he used the method of robbing monsters before resting. He recorded the refresh point and refresh sequence of the three turkeys beside him and began to wait for the rabbit.

Of course, many players were using this method. Now, the competition was about who was quick-witted and quick-witted, and Xu You still believed in his own abilities.

After waiting for a while, Xu You knew that the turkey at the refresh point on his left was about to be refreshed. He walked to the refresh point. There were three players guarding the spot. It looked like they were from the same team. Very quickly, a red turkey appeared in front of Xu You. Without thinking, he swung the wooden sword in his hand and chopped it down. The players next to him also did the same thing.

-52, …

A string of red numbers floated out of the turkey with some blood, Xu You’s quick reaction was the first to hit the turkey. The turkey’s HP was not high, only 70 points, so the damage of 52 points had already determined the turkey’s ownership. If he killed the turkey alone, he would have died if he attacked the turkey again. Unfortunately, this poor turkey had four people raising their butcher’s knives at it.

“Ding! You killed the turkey and gained 2 experience points!”

“F*ck! I didn’t get it!” The players who were snatching the turkey with Xu You said in frustration, but they didn’t say anything else. They couldn’t even snatch the turkey from a team of three. Who could they blame? If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have assigned the other two teammates to another refresh point.

The turkey fell to the ground with a “wow” sound. A red feather fell from its body. This was the mission item.

Xu You, who had killed a turkey alone, couldn’t help but exclaim that this “new world” was harder to play than any other game. This was because the level 1 turkey’s attack speed was actually within 1.4 seconds. Xu You’s two-handed sword attack speed was 2.8 seconds. In other words, if Xu You hit the turkey, the turkey would be able to hit Xu You twice. Fortunately, the turkey’s attack wasn’t high. If he hit Xu You, it would only take about 20 points, but it would still hurt if he hit him twice.

After picking up the quest item, the turkey’s feathers, Xu You was pleasantly surprised to discover that there was an item that emitted an earth-colored light beneath the feathers, a copper coin! Finally, he dropped a game coin. This was the first one he had obtained! Xu You couldn’t help but despise the currency swap rate of the system. He played most of this game, well, a small part of it was to make money! Doesn’t a low currency swap rate mean that money is hard to earn?

Xu You had long predicted that the New World would have a very low currency swap rate, After all, the game coins here could be exchanged for real currency. There were three types of game coins in the New World, namely, gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. The ratio was 1: 100, that is, 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins = 10,000 copper coins. One silver coin was equivalent to the real one Chinese coin. In other words, Xu You had finally earned 1 Chinese coin in the game just now!

Xu You, who complained that the system was stingy, could only vent all his dissatisfaction on the turkey. Now that Xu You had mastered the rules, his chances of snatching the turkey were much higher. Afterwards, he even formed a team. After he persisted for more than 20 minutes, his first mission, “Angry Turkey”, was finally completed.

“It takes an hour to complete a mission. It’s really slow.” Xu You felt that completing this first mission was too difficult. When he returned to Uncle Riding Dragon’s mission, he felt that it had been a long time since he had seen this NPC.

“Very good, Yue Wuyou. You didn’t disappoint me. You accomplished the task very well. This is a reward for you!” Uncle Riding Dragon handed the mission reward to Xu You with satisfaction. At the same time, the system prompted Xu You to gain 40 experience points.

5 Dry Bread: Coarse bread, recovers 100 HP in 10 seconds, only used in non-combat situations!

Xu You looked at the description. Instantly, he felt that these loaves of bread were useless. At the low level, the player’s HP was very low, non-combat HP regeneration speed appears to be very fast, After leaving the battle, his HP quickly reached its peak. There was no need to replenish it, and his Mana was even faster. However, these five loaves of bread could actually sell for 10 copper coins. Xu You instantly decided the fate of these loaves. However, there was only Uncle Chenglong’s NPC in the east of the village. It was unknown if there would be any other NPCs on the other end of the village.

“Very good, Yue Wuyou. You have proved your ability. Can you do me another favor? If you complete it, I will give you some other rewards …” Uncle Riding Dragon continued his work and interrupted Xu You’s contemplation.

“Ding, you’ve received the mission ‘Lack of Corn Cobs’. Please check the mission information bar for details.”

Needless to say, Because we’re going out of this small enclosed place, Novice Village, He had to complete all the Novice Village missions. The missions he received this time were gathering-type, so there was no need to rob monsters. Instead, he had to rob the mission items. If there were too many people, he only needed to wait for the mission items to refresh and then obtain them. Moreover, this kind of mission items were usually refreshed very quickly. Xu You spent five minutes to complete this mission. The reward was 20 experience points and the following items:

5 bottles of light rice wine: Rough rice wine can restore 100 mana within 10 seconds. Only used in non-combat situations.

“Alright, another 10 copper coins!”

‘”Very well, Yue Wuyou. You have proved your worth. You are trustworthy and courageous. Next, I have a letter for you. Please help me hand it over to Kass, the guard on the west side of the village. He will tell you what to do next!” Uncle Riding Dragon gave him another mission.

“Ah, I can finally stop listening to you say ‘Very good’. Goodbye, dear Uncle Riding Dragon.” Xu You looked relieved.

It was worth mentioning that Xu You already had 90 EXP points. He was still 10 points away from leveling up. Coincidentally, the messenger mission given by Uncle Long rewarded him with 10 EXP points. In other words, he was finally going to level up after delivering the message. This leveling up was really hard.

Walking along the village’s only path, Xu You quickly arrived at the other end of the village and found the mission NPC called Cass. It was a human warrior in his thirties. It looked very ancient, but to Xu You’s disappointment, there were no NPCs that could be traded here. Where did all the NPCs in the village go?

After receiving the letter, Cass smiled and said to Xu You, “Le Wuyou? You came at the right time. I need your help. I believe you won’t refuse …” This surprised the surrounding players. They had done several missions here, and they had never seen this somewhat rigid NPC reveal even a hint of a smile.

“Ding, you accepted the task of’exploring strange wells’ …”

Hearing the system’s voice, Xu You did not immediately check the mission information. Instead, he immediately opened the status bar. After handing in the messenger mission, a golden halo appeared on his body. He had leveled up!

“That’s great!” Looking at the status bar, Xu You was touched. His stats had finally increased.

Upgrading to LV2, Xu You obtained 5 Attribute Points, but all of them were allocated by the system, adding 1 Endurance, 2 Strength, 1 Agility and 1 Intelligence.

Thus, Xu You’s main attribute became:

Level: 2

HP: 70

Mana Points: 50

Attack Power: 86

Critical Attack Rate: 4%

Armor: 26

Endurance: 7

Strength: 9

Agility: 7

Intelligence: 5

Spirit: 6

Charm: 10

Xu You looked at the stats in detail. Tragically, he discovered that he was not comparable to some players with the initial stats. As expected, he was not comparable to others.

Xu You looked at his Charm Points again. There was no change. This meant that his Charm Points were fixed and would not increase as he leveled up. If he wanted to increase his Charm Points, he would have to rely on high-grade special equipment. Therefore, Xu You’s advantage in the earlier period was very obvious.

After upgrading, Xu You’s experience bar also changed. Upgrading to LV3 required 200 experience points. Judging from the previous quests, the quests gave him quite a lot of experience. However, there were too many monsters snatching the quests. Should he kill monsters to upgrade? Xu You hesitated for a moment.

“It’s better to continue with the quest. What’s wrong with no one snatching it now? People are more popular than others. Work hard! Tonight, you’ll be practicing leveling all night.” Xu You refueled himself and prepared to continue with the mission he had just received, “Explore the strange well!” This should also be an errand.

However, just as Xu You was about to leave the village, the other side of the village suddenly became noisy. Xu You turned around and saw that Uncle Riding Dragon’s location was faintly packed with people’s heads. This made Xu You frown. It seemed that the peak of the second wave of players’ login had arrived. He had to speed up!

Very quickly, Xu You hurriedly left the village and headed to the mission site. However, he did not expect that a pair of eyes had been watching him from the moment he communicated with Cass.

7, 8 minute later, Xu You came to a dried-up well. This is the well that the mission prompted for, The well was right in the middle of a 10-meter-wide circular open space. The open space was surrounded by dense woods. As it was almost 22 o’clock and it had been almost two hours since the service was opened, Xu You was the last batch of players in the first wave to complete this mission. This kind of scouting-type errand was very simple and did not need to wait for a refresh. Therefore, there were no players here.

Xu You stuck his head out and looked at the bottom of the well. It was so dark that he couldn’t see anything, It was at this moment that the system reminded him of the mission’s purpose. However, curious Xu You did not leave immediately. Instead, he observed this somewhat gloomy open space. He felt that this place was a bit strange. How could there not even be a monster here? However, after a few minutes, he did not find anything strange. It seemed that he was thinking too much.

But just as Xu You was about to return, he heard a strange sound coming from the depths of the well. Immediately after, an ugly humanoid monster crawled out of the well. It was a zombie! That bloody mess was extremely terrifying, and an unpleasant scream could be heard from his mouth, making Xu You’s hair stand on end. If this damn thing had suddenly appeared when he was peeking at the bottom of the well, wouldn’t it have frightened him to death?

“This design is a little scary. I don’t want to play with it like this, but …” Xu You cursed inwardly. Immediately after, he became excited. His years of game experience told him that the appearance of this monster might not be an ordinary thing, because most people would leave immediately after prompting them to complete the mission and return to the village to hand over the mission. Thus, they would not encounter this monster. This ugly thing should only appear after the player stayed near the well for a period of time.

Ugly Zombie: Level 1, HP 120.

Xu You could only observe so much. No other monster attributes could be seen. Normally, players would do the same unless they had special exploratory skills.

“Level 1 120 HP, nearly half more than a turkey. This means that this is no ordinary monster. There’s a hidden mission, haha.” Xu You swung his wooden sword and rushed over.
