Sequence game, starting from drawing props

Chapter 8 Eternal Sleep Town

The figure of Ian walking in the town with a mandala bow on his back caught the attention of some adventurers.

No matter from which angle you look at it, the bow on Ian's back is stunning, with a rough aesthetic.

This is the real hunter's weapon, they couldn't help thinking.

"Yo! Welcome to Changmian Town, little brother."

A half-grown boy ran up to Ian:
"The cremation service in Changmian Town is the best, and the charcoal from other towns has to be imported from us!"

Ian was a little puzzled: "You are?"

"Hermes! I'm a professional tour guide for Eternal Sleep Town. The town is huge. How about I show you around?"

The boy who named himself Hermes held out two fingers: "It only takes 2 copper coins!"

2 copper coins, in exchange for a tour guide, this deal is not bad, Ian readily agreed.

Hermes was at the front, and he was at the back, quickly exploring the various strange facilities in Longsleeping Town.

There is a "black charcoal vein" near Changmian Town, which is the black soil mound that Ian has seen, the residue left when mining black charcoal.

Large pieces of black charcoal are used for heating in cold weather, or for cremation projects.

"Cremation" is a sacred and lofty status in this world, because the concept of death is missing, people will become undead and resurrect again after death.

But as long as the body is burned in time after death, some ashes can still be left for the family to remember.

Hermes led Ian to a large iron furnace. Within a few dozen meters of the street, there was such a strange iron furnace.

Ian asked what they were for.

"These furnaces are to ensure that even if the corpses are disposed of, the water pipes will not be frozen and cracked in winter!"

Hermes spoke briskly: "When a person dies, he must be cremated, otherwise his family members will be hurt after resurrection. We all don't want to do this, so we don't hesitate to jump into the furnace before we die."

"There are some corpses buried in the ground that are too late to be cremated. Sometimes they will break out of the ground. The water pipeline cannot be placed in the ground, and it will be bitten off by the undead. Then the problem will be even more difficult!"

"Fortunately, we have a lot of black charcoal. Before the cold weather comes, we should reserve as much black charcoal as possible to maintain the daily operation of the incinerator."

"Otherwise... Changmian Town will be in great trouble! The dead and the water cut off are simply hell!"

After listening, Ian had a little understanding of the situation in Changmian Town.

There are also a series of facilities in this town, such as a blacksmith shop, an adventurer's guild, an alchemy shop, and an auction house.

[Unlock Map: Changmian Town]

The sequence system responded proactively, and a virtual map unfolded in front of Ian, which was originally filled with black fog of war.

A golden light appeared, and a small area was illuminated, astonishingly the size of the entire "Eternal Sleep Town".

[Your current location: Changmian Town (Black Iron Sequence Area)]

[Introduction: Changmian Town is located on a black carbon mine vein. It relies on collecting minerals to store and trade in the warm season every year, and burns charcoal for warmth in the cold season to survive the winter. 】

[As a hunter, you can take the initiative to go to the "Adventurer's Guild" to obtain information such as the appearance of monsters or materials, and receive commissions to earn rewards. 】

One position can provide a lot of convenience, and there are many hunters in Changmian Town, but they don't have Ian's background.

The mandala bow owned by Ian is powerful, and the wooden arrows that are very useful for adventurers are only one-time consumables for Ian.

Moreover, the mandala bow is of green quality, it is only the second prize.

Ian came to the Adventurer's Guild with his bow on his back. When he entered the door, he could smell the smell of wine and the burning heat of the stove.

"Are you a new hunter?" the counter lady asked, "Please come here to register."

The registration of new hunters is very simple, write down your name and rank, this rank is very similar to the division in the sequence game.

Black iron, bronze, silver...

At present, Ian is not even a black iron. He needs to complete a series of novice tasks before he can be promoted to a black iron.

Or take the initiative to kill a monster of the black iron sequence, which should be possible to improve the sequence.

The improvement of the sequence will give the player a new power.

Ian noticed a detail, there are not only humans in Changmian Town.

Among them, some are half-orcs, they have some animal signs, and even some limbs are claws or hooves.

There are also other weird races, such as humanoid slimes made of green slime, or giants with two heads and a height of nearly five meters.

The voice of conversation echoed in the Adventurer's Guild.

"Today's lottery lottery for the dead in Changmian Town. Congratulations. The number of dead people has increased by 30 compared to yesterday. It's really enough to die. There are a few more carrion corpses in the wild."

"Be more serious about the crusade, don't kill monsters with passion, I don't want to collect the corpse for you!"

"I heard that the wolf cave dungeon was attacked, but why didn't I see the victorious adventurer? Could it be that there were heavy casualties?"

Ian wanted to pick up an order, so he walked near the notice board.

The reception lady saw that Ian was a foreigner, and explained the entrustment to him:

"If you want to accept the commission, you need to meet the level of the adventurer and pay a certain deposit."

She just wanted a commission that Ian had observed for a long time:

"Just like this one, the "Destroy the Shadow Demon Snake" issued by the Karon Chamber of Commerce requires at least an adventurer of the black iron level to receive it."

In other words, Ian is currently not qualified enough, he is not popular.

The black iron adventurer also corresponds to the black iron sequence.

If you want to fight against some malicious players, recruiting powerful teammates is also an optional action. Of course, Ian does not plan to do it at present.

Several commissions were re-selected, namely "Fighting Demonic Wolves", "Fighting Carrion", and "Ignite Demonic Thorns".

The Necromancer Scourge has demonized some plants in this world, turning them into dangerous demonic thorns, which are carnivorous plants.

Once the adventurer is bound by the demonized thorns, the body will be injected with dissolving venom, and the painful food will be turned into thorns.

This kind of description...doesn't sound right.

It can entangle the adventurer and inject liquid... The plant called "Magic Thorn" can't be a tentacle, right?

Ian received the entrustment and asked about the location of grocery stores and the like.

"If you want to quickly learn about Eternal Sleep Town, it is best to buy a map, which only costs 1 silver coin."

Ian paid for it, and the reception lady delivered a map.

After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, Ian also planned to buy some useful props.

The solution to the rebirth of the dead is to burn the corpse. Most undead monsters are afraid of flames. If he can process some weapons such as "burning bottles"...

Ian looked at the "sloppy production" skill in his backpack, maybe he could really make a Molotov cocktail.

grocery store.

Items for sale are: medicine bottles, bandages, torches, highlighters, jerky, wine.

Ian has 10 gold coins in his hand. This is the loot he got from clearing the wolf cave dungeon. He bought bandages and wine. After thinking about it, he bought a few portable torches.

He poured wine on the bandage and lit it with a torch. Under the puzzled eyes of the boss, the bandage in Ian's hand was blazing.

The good news is that wine is flammable. After all, it is not Blue Star. Ian needs to take the initiative to test it to ensure that making Molotov cocktails is foolproof.

"Boss, do you have a bottle here?" he asked.

Backstage, the grocer pulls out some glass bottles that look a bit like oversize beakers, but work.

Ian also bought these, all of which were cheap, and all the prices together cost only 1 gold coin.

Leaving the grocery store and walking to a remote corner, Ian combined wine, bandages, and bottles.

"I thought these things could be made into Molotov cocktails. 'Sloppy Crafting', activate."

Ian watched the fusion of the three materials, and under the effect of the skill, they were synthesized into a bottle filled with a strange viscous liquid.

【Name: Molotov cocktail】

【Source: Sloppy Production·Wonderful Thoughts】

【Level: 4】

[Effect: Throw it at the enemy. When it breaks, it will flow out a flammable liquid. Even the slightest spark will ignite it, and the smell of strong wine will be pungent and unpleasant after being ignited. 】

[Description: It's not me who keeps point A in 1V4, it's my 17-year-old. 】
