Chapter 9

build a temple.

chop wood.

Carry water.

foraging.

Xia Zhanyan spent a month of game time on the task of the old beggar. The task was as long and smelly as a foot wrap, but she couldn't lose it, so she had to accept her fate and continue to do it.

Since having her, the old beggar's life has undergone a qualitative leap, from the enslaved class to the slave-owner class. Although she is still hunched over, her voice is obviously a little more confident.

Only Xia Zhanyan knew that the old beggar's confidence came from torturing her.

A month in reality is a year in the game. It is very slim for her to cultivate alchemy within this period of time, because so far, her realm has not improved a single inch, it is only a matter of time. It's only in the early stage of cultivating immortals.The tasks assigned by the old beggar will only reward a little experience, which is not even enough to get between the teeth, let alone breakthroughs and upgrades.

She is very anxious.

The old beggar is leisurely enjoying the shade under the big locust tree outside the temple at the moment. Although the players can't feel the heat of August, the NPCs are showing a very stuffy look.

When Xia Zhanyan returned with two buckets of water, she saw the old beggar squinting at the sky, and her anxiety increased by three points.

"Are you back? Chop the firewood!" The old beggar woman was still looking at the distant horizon without moving her eyes, but her tone of voice was very much like that of a landlord's wicked woman.

"Bang——" Xia Zhanyan put the bucket on the ground hard, and the water in the bucket splashed everywhere.

A cold smile crossed the corner of the old beggar's mouth.

"Don't want to do it anymore? Don't blame me for not reminding you, you will be punished if you give up now!" The old beggar's voice was deep and old.

Even if there is a punishment, it's better than wasting her time here, and it won't be worse than deleting the account.Xia Zhanyan thought about the current progress of her cultivation, and felt irritable. She was not a patient person, and she had never been so humble. This time, it was probably the most useless moment in her life.Even if it is in the game, even if it is only an NCP, in her opinion, such a thing as integrity does not distinguish between objects, although such integrity may just be the willful psychology of an ignorant girl.

"I quit!" Xia Zhanyan finally got angry.

A system prompt box popped up in front of her eyes.

[System] Do you want to give up the series of tasks - a firm heart?We solemnly remind you that abandoning this task will result in a great penalty for your journey.

"I thought you were capable? At the beginning, you boasted that you wanted to be a different medical fairy, but in the end, you couldn't even handle the old woman's trivial matters. What's the point of talking about cultivation? Go back as soon as possible and drink more milk. Come out when you have something to do. It's embarrassing to be here." The old beggar's voice was calm and flat, as old and indifferent as before, but the content was full of irony.

Breathe, breathe deeply!

Xia Zhanyan took three breaths before barely suppressing his anger, reached out to cancel the dialog in front of him, and then turned around.

"You old woman who stays in the game all day, you know what a fool. Do you think I have a lot of time? I promised the boss that I would have to reach the realm of alchemy within a month before I could become a regular employee of the studio and earn that much money. A little money to supplement my sister. Do you think we are you? You don’t have to do or think about anything in the game, and you can play according to the script without eating or drinking. We are human beings. Pay back the money and live on!" She smashed the pole in her hand on the ground, then sat down on her buttocks, the shadow and pressure in her heart were released for the past few days, and regardless of whether the NPC could understand what she said, she slammed It was like flipping beans, and they all shook out.

She is a child who has no future and has not been weaned. More than 20 years of life have given her such a character.In the past, her parents supported the sky above her head and made her a princess for more than 20 years. Now the sky has collapsed and she has been beaten back to her original shape. She is just a useless piece of trash who can't even play games well.

"Don't do it, don't think about it, don't eat or drink... Er Gouzi, did you hear that? Is someone envious of my life?" The old beggar murmured in a low voice, then stood slowly and walked in front of Xia Zhanyan, looking down at her.

"You can't even be a good person, and you still want to cultivate immortality? Forget it, give up if you want to!" The old beggar said lightly what she wanted to say, and then slowly walked back to the temple.

A selection box popped up in front of him again whether to give up the mission.

Even people can't do well... Xia Zhanyan's heart shrank violently, and his angry eyes gradually restrained.

Stretching out her hand and clicking "No", she silently walked to the corner, picked up the broken ax with a curled blade, and started chopping firewood one by one.

Chopping firewood, carrying water, looking for food... are all things that a person has to do, just like ordinary people in reality, they want to work, make money, and work hard for a living, probably the same.

The old beggar stood by the broken wooden window, watching her chopping wood, her eyes were a little more gentle.

"Er Gouzi, do you know? The first time I saw her, it was like seeing you back then, with the same brashness and arrogance. Tell me, can she fulfill your unfinished dream? And I , can I see you again?"

Xia Zhanyan didn't see the old beggar's expression, let alone hear her talking to herself, she just chopped firewood one by one, trying her best to do things that she had never done before.

Ding-dong-

A pleasant notification tone suddenly sounded.

There was a faint brilliance around her.

This is the brilliance of a breakthrough.

A task prompt box suddenly appeared in front of him.

[System] Congratulations for completing the series of missions of the old beggar in Fulai Town: a firm heart. Your experience and comprehension have been greatly improved, and you have been rewarded by the old beggar—light body technique.

Xia Zhanyan was confused for a while, and after regaining consciousness, he quickly opened the personal attribute book. Sure enough, his realm had improved, reaching the Qi Condensation Period, and all attributes increased by two points each.After being overjoyed, she opened the skill book again and found that there was really an extra light-weight technique on it.

The lightness technique is a common skill with a nice name, but it has no combat advantage. After using it, its main function is to increase her weight-bearing capacity and make her movements more agile. Take it easy.Although it's just a game, the high level of virtual equipment can already allow players to feel a lot of unimaginable realism through neural access.

Opening the mission book again, she was surprised to find that the series of missions for the old beggar were no longer ordinary white missions, but the color had changed to emerald green, and the name was no longer a firm heart, but—Old beggar The dream of a beggar woman, the task description is very simple: complete the requirements of the old beggar woman in Fulai Town.

There are actually tasks that can be upgraded.

Xia Zhanyan looked up into the temple, but the old beggar was no longer by the window.She fell into a myth, what kind of mission is this, and what is the identity of the old beggar? Is there really a second dog with amazing talent?
She began to have a little hope for the future.

"Hey, why are you in a daze? I didn't ask you to be a lady here! If you decide not to leave, just go to the tavern and buy some steamed stuffed buns for me, and help me watch the bullshit conference by the way, and tell me about it when you come back! "The old beggar's old voice drifted out from the temple, it was still the calm tone and harsh words she often heard.

Xia Zhanyan found that she was used to it, and was a little assimilated.

"Give me the money!" She was no longer polite or forbearing.

"No money, go to the street to ask for it!" The old beggar's voice had no room for turning back.

Looking at the pitiful few copper coins in her account, Xia Zhanyan wanted to cry, but it was the little capital she had saved in Xinshou Village, and now she was so poor that she was saving even a single copper coin.

Depressed and depressed, she still set foot on the road to the tavern.
