Chapter 8 Plot Change
Ten minutes later, the doctor invited by Li Xiaoyao was already in front of Aunt Li's bed and told Li Xiaoyao that this was an old illness, and the only way was to go to Xianling Island to seek the immortal pill.
Chen Yi took the opportunity to go with Li Xiaoyao, and Li Xiaoyao accepted it.
The system indeed gives the task.
"Temporary mission: escort Li Xiaoyao to Xianling Island to seek immortal medicine."
"This task is the first link of the main line-level chain task. After completion, you will receive a reward of 100 points. Regardless of whether you participate in the previous task, adventurers can enter the next link task. You can receive a total reward of up to 27,000 points after completing all links. ”
Seeing this task description, Chen Yi suddenly realized.
It is said to be a chain task, but you can tell by looking at its total reward of 27,000 points. In fact, this is a hidden main task that ensures avoiding erasure.
The protection and escort of Li Xiaoyao will start from the beginning of the plot to the end of the plot.
Unlike the general main task, this chain task must be triggered by itself, and it does not need to be a complete task.
Adventurers can actually join the main line of protecting Li Xiaoyao at any place and at any time, and the rewards they receive are determined based on the tasks they participate in.
Since Chen Yi started to take on the task from the initial plot, as long as he completed all the steps, he could get 27,000 points.
This may not necessarily mean that disconnection cannot be done. For example, Chen Yi can give up and not do a task in the middle, and can still continue to connect the breakpoints. Anyway, it is ultimately calculated based on the number of rings and tasks.
This situation is in line with the principle of the city, that is, when it reaches the four difficulties, the conditions for erasing will not be too harsh. As long as you go all the way, the most basic survival can still be guaranteed. And if you want to get more rewards, We need to work harder on this basis.
Of course, it’s nothing to do without this hidden main task. At worst, you can find more other tasks with higher rewards for blood points. Anyway, as long as you can reach the standard of 27,000 points.
This task was released to Chen Yi, and Wei Chibai had no share. Obviously, Li Xiaoyao had no intention of going with Wei Chibai at all.
Chen Yi took out the speech he had prepared before, and Wei Chibai also took the opportunity to apologize, claiming that he was causing trouble for a moment of greed and almost ruined his brother's future. Now that he knows the mistake, he is willing to do his best to make Aunt Li's illness.
After Shen Yi's persuasion, Li Xiaoyao thought that he wanted to be a hero and did not bother with Wei Chibai. Wei Chibai finally received this task.
But this does not mean that Li Xiaoyao really forgave Wei Chibai.
To be precise, Chen Yi's teachings are from a rational perspective, telling him what is right and letting him follow the right path, but it does not mean that Li Xiaoyao must accept Wei Chibai for this reason.
His hatred of Wei Chibai is an instinctive disgust for others to seize their own interests. It cannot be solved in just a few words, nor is it that he wants to love the world with a hero's style.
He just pretended to show his demeanor because of Chen Yi's teachings.
This is like some celebrities speaking on stage, and some people are urging to object. Celebrities smile on the surface and explain patiently, but in their hearts, they actually want to step down and punch the other party, and beat everyone who attacks them into pig's heads.
The same is true for Li Xiaoyao now, reason and emotion are inconsistent, so although the task was given to Wei Chibai, he was still very upset with him.
If the Jiujianxian could accept him as his apprentice, Li Xiaoyao might have forgiven him. Unfortunately, this matter is destined to be impossible, so the thorn in Li Xiaoyao's heart towards Wei Chibai will not be erased in a short period of time.
Chen Yi was so happy. If Wei Chibai no longer knew anything, he might have to replace the saying "All rivers and seas are in harmony with tolerance" with "I can't bear it anymore, and I will eliminate evil things." I believe that his strength will increase greatly by then. Li Xiaoyao would be very happy to beat Wei Chibai and kick him out of his team.
At this moment, Wei Chibai was very excited. For all adventurers, ensuring survival is the first key, and as long as they have this foundation, they can roam around the world of this plot maze Go around and look for all potential treasures.
Of course, his fate is still in Li Xiaoyao's hands. If Li Xiaoyao doesn't want him to join, he can drive him out at any time. Chen Yi is the one who can influence Li Xiaoyao, so he can't help but be glad that he and Shen Yi have reached a reconciliation.
This is also because he and Shen Yi have no deep hatred. If it were the team of the Daen family, Chen Yi would not let them join. It is estimated that for this reason, they did not have hope in this regard at the beginning, but instead took a different approach. .
Since the monsters in Xianling Island are not strong and the points reward is not high, Chen Yi and Wei Chibai did not call their team members over, but instead prepared to embark on the journey directly.
But before that, there was another thing, that was the medicine given by the Miao people.
Sure enough, Li Xiaoyao met a Miao man when he left the store. After the conversation, the Miao man's messenger gave Li Xiaoyao the Sky Hammer and the Forget-Wuyou San.
At this moment, the two men's heraldry sounded at the same time:
"Temporary mission, stop Li Xiaoyao from taking Wangyou Powder. Complete the mission and reward 100 bloody points. Give up the reward and obtain subsequent tasks."
The two were shocked at the same time.
Everyone also realized that the plot has developed to this point and the initial plot has ended, and the next step is to change the unpredictable maze plot.
Bloody City may release various tasks anytime, anywhere, or change the plot, or return to the plot.
The problem is that you don't know which of these tasks is suitable for completion and which one is not suitable for completion.
The task in front of me is obviously a plot change task. The reward of 100 points is as high as the task of escorting Li Xiaoyao.
From this perspective, Wei Chibo believes that this is likely to be a bait task, and once taken, it will lead the adventurer to the dead end of the plot.
But Chen Yi suddenly made a move like lightning, took Wangyou San from Li Xiaoyao's hand, and said seriously: "This is a spiritual medicine, and you should swallow it with water, otherwise the medicine will not be able to be dissolved. Go, Xiaoyao, go to the kitchen to bring a glass of water. .”
"Hey!" Li Xiaoyao obeyed Chen Yiyan and ran to the kitchen to serve water.
At the same time, Chen Yi had already thrown Wangyou into the bloody emblem and took out a healing pill.
Although the Miao envoy was also a master, he had never seen anything like bloody emblems. He never expected that Chen Yi would throw the medicine under his nose.
When Li Xiaoyao came back, Chen Yi gave Li Xiaoyao the healing medicine.
Wei Chibai was very anxious. What he felt distressed was not the reward of one hundred bloody points, but the obvious bait task he dared to take on, so why wasn't he afraid of the big trouble caused by changing the plot?
However, when he agreed to make an agreement with Shen Yi, he had already agreed to make the decision to focus on Chen Yi. It was really not suitable to turn against Shen Yi now, so he could only hold it in his hands.
The Bloody Emblem has been prompted:
"Complete temporary tasks and give up the reward to get subsequent tasks."
“Give up the reward.”
"The mission reward is given up, and the subsequent mission will be activated after Li Xiaoyao arrives at Xianling Island."
After the mission is completed, everyone no longer wastes time and bid farewell to the Miao people and heads to Xianling Island.
On the way, Wei Chibai finally couldn't help but question Chen Yi: "Are you fucking crazy? Why do you want to do this task? You should know the consequences! Li Xiaoyao did not take Wangyou Powder, so it was impossible for him to forget Zhao Ling'er, you let the plot How else can you develop? I didn’t expect you to be so greedy that you can’t even see such obvious bait!”
Chen Yi glanced at Wei Chibai and replied slowly: "Have you walked through the maze?"
Wei Chibai was stunned and replied: "I have played the maze game."
"Then do you never go through the fork in the labyrinth?"
Wei Chibai was stunned again: "How is this possible?"
"That's all." Chen Yi spread his hands: "The essence of the plot maze is that there are many forks. You can never go to detours or enter any dead ends. In fact, although the city gives us a hidden main line, it does not mean that we will take it. What happened will definitely happen according to the plot regulations. If you dare not take this task or that task because you are worried about taking the wrong path, it means that you are actually staying at the fork in the maze, looking around, no Dare to take steps.”
Speaking of this, he patted Wei Chibai on the shoulder and smiled: "Faced with the maze, what you have to do is not to be at a loss, but to take bold steps. It doesn't matter if you go wrong, but you can walk back again if you don't leave. , the real problem. Look, the Wangyou San is in my hands. If I think it is not suitable, I can let him eat it at any time. As long as there is a chance to turn back, then we can Try it. Only those who can't look back after doing it, should be cautious... For example, if you speak to me in this tone, I promise you will never look back."
Speaking of the latter, Chen Yi's tone had become colder than Wei Chibai's frost air, and Wei Chibai was also shocked.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for what I said just now." He said.
"This is almost the same, let's go."
They had arrived at the edge of the fishing port, and a small fishing boat was moored beside the pier.
Stepping onto the fishing boat, the first official mission of Legend of Sword and Fairy began like this.
———————————
It takes about half a day to take a boat from the fishing port to Xianling Island.
Sitting at the bow of the boat, Chen Yi hugged his knees and watched the oars slapped against the water and stirred up waves. He felt a strange feeling of warmth in his heart.
Since entering the city, he has experienced mostly Western magic or science fiction worlds, and has seen the fast pace of the modern world and the gloomy and coldness of the magic world. Now he has just arrived at the world of Sword and Fairy, looking at this beautiful Jiangnan water town , as if you are in a world of ink and wash, a rich, fresh and pleasant local atmosphere comes to your face, giving you a sense of comfort when you return from a modern city to pastoral life.
Therefore, even if you just sit and watch the white waves on the water, you feel very comfortable and you can't help but say to yourself: "When it comes to style, it is still the most lyrical and beautiful in China."
Li Xiaoyao walked over next to him and sat down beside Shen Yi: "Brother Chen Yi, what is the only beauty? What is China?"
Chen Yi smiled and said casually: "It's nothing. I'm talking about the local dialect over us, which means that this Jiangnan water town has beautiful people, beautiful water, beautiful scenery... Anyway, everything is beautiful."
Li Xiaoyao asked seriously: "It's also the slang of my elder brother's hometown? I wonder what it means?"
"...It means being irritable and depressed."
"So that's it. Yesterday, I didn't understand that my elder brother was satisfied with his complacency. I was too anxious and worried that my elder brother was upset. Xiaoyao was ashamed."
"nothing."
"By the way, Brother Shen, everyone says there are monsters on Xianling Island, but I have never seen monsters. Brother Shen, have you seen monsters?"
“…I’ve seen it.”
"Is the monster terrible?"
In the game, Li Xiaoyao hits the monster for the first time when he sees it. There is no fear or horror at all, but here, Li Xiaoyao has an instinctive fear of monsters.
In fact, this is normal. If you suddenly encounter a chicken yelling to death, rushing towards you, you will be scared.
Therefore, it can be imagined that if Chen Yiwei and Chi Bai and the others were escorting along the way, Li Xiaoyao might have been beaten to death when he met the first monster.
Chen Yi smiled: "It's nothing. Heaven and earth have spirits, and they nurture all things. There can be humans, chickens and ducks, but why can't there be monsters? The so-called monsters are actually just plants and trees turning into spirits, birds and beasts turning into spirits, and enlightening spiritual wisdom. , if you have a little skill, you may not be terrible. People in the world are ignorant, exaggerate, make a fuss, and spread rumors. If you want to be a hero in the future, you must not catch up with the wind and shadows and not understand the right and wrong. You should use your own eyes to see everything and use your ears to see more. Listen, think more with your brain. As for whether there are monsters on the Fairy Island, we will naturally know after we go up."
"Brother said, Xiaoyao understands it." Li Xiaoyao bowed to Chen Yi. He was a smart and studious man. Although he was a bit cynical in the game, he showed that after meeting Chen Yi, he showed that His diligent and motivated side.
After thinking about it, Chen Yi said, "There are monsters on Xianling Island, but I don't know how strong they are. After a while, I will weigh them for you first. If you are not strong, you will be alone. In response, Chi Bo and I were only on the side to take care of you and guide you.”
Wei Chibai was shocked: "If you let him face it yourself, wouldn't that be..."
He wanted to say that if all monsters were killed by Chen Yi, then we would not have any benefits. After all, there would be no reward for killing monsters in the plot.
Chen Yi turned around and glared at him, his eyes were a little sharp. Wei Chibai couldn't say the following words. Chen Yi had already said, "Xiaoyao is still young and lacks experience. I know you care about his safety, but if How can he grow up when he helps him take everything? I have never heard of any powerful monster in the water town area. If I don’t take this opportunity to let Xiaoyaoduo fight and grow hard, how can he deal with it when he encounters a real powerful monster in the future ?The great responsibility given to this person is to make his muscles and bones first, toil his mind and mind, and to starve his body. Why not take this opportunity today, and you and I will watch the battle and protect him, and also give Xiaoyao guidance. If there is any powerful monster It's not too late to take action again."
Chen Yi's meaning is very clear. Although we are taking on protection tasks, don't forget that Li Xiaoyao himself also needs to grow. After all, he will be one of the main forces in fighting against **oss in the future. For this super talented plot protagonist, you are now If you don’t give him a chance to grow, the road ahead will be more and more difficult. Why bother making your tasks difficult for a little profit?
Wei Chibai understood what he meant, and thought that he was right, so he could only nod and agree, but he also knew that this destined Li Xiaoyao to have many risks.
Unlike the original plot, in the original plot, players can always pass the level as long as they upgrade step by step.
But here, without the help of adventurers, perhaps Li Xiaoyao would die in the wilderness as soon as he left the house.
How to achieve a perfect balance between protecting, training, killing monsters and catching treasures is the key to determining the success or failure of this mission, and it is also a test of the adventurer's ability.
It would be great if there was a pastor.
Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh like this again.
Unexpectedly, the priest not only determines the long-lasting combat power of the team, but also has the effect of bringing an apprentice.
Half a day later, Xianling Island arrived.
Chapter completed!
