i really just want to play games

Chapter 178
"Legend Chang'an" has a 24-hour system that simulates real day and night.

Therefore, many specific tasks require specific time points. The main reason for doing this is to enhance the atmosphere.

For example, tasks related to occultism, of course, try to put them at night as much as possible, or assassination tasks are also at night.

In this way, something that skips time is needed, so that players don't have to wait too long.

Sleeping naturally becomes a choice. All beds accessible to players can be manipulated in this way. In other special terrains, such as the wild, there are portable tents and other things to replace beds.

At this moment, what flickered in front of Barlow was a short animation of going to sleep, which he had seen many times, and he didn't find it unusual.

Because usually as Su Tong lies on the bed and closes his eyes and then opens them, the game will return to his control.

However, what happened this time made Barlow feel strange, because not long after Su Tong closed his eyes, he opened them, turned over and sat up, and from the outside, it was still late at night.

"There are enemies." Su Tong's soliloquy immediately explained to Barlow, and then the task list on the mini-map was updated.

Then the rest of the matter was very simple. Barlow directly controlled Su Tong to pull out his weapon and headed towards the destination as directed by the mission.

That was exactly the pavilion in the Taoist temple, and Barlow remembered that this was where Taoist Master Tianji said he would find items.

Opening the door directly, Barlow saw that Taoist Priest Tianji was covered in paint and was desperately resisting an assassin in black.

Picking up his weapon, Barlow skillfully attacked, and under the pressure of his high-level weapons, the black-clothed assassin was hard to resist with just three or five attacks, and it seemed that he was about to fall.

At this moment, the camera that had already reached the bottom was connected to the animation, and the black-clothed assassin took advantage of the opportunity of being tilted, and directly took out a round object from his arms and slammed it on the ground.

Then the white dust in the attic flew up, and I couldn't see my fingers.

Accompanied by a violent cough, and Su Tong helping Taoist Tianji to run out of the attic, the white dust inside slowly dissipated, and then a black shadow skipped over the moon above the eaves and disappeared into the game screen.

The plot animation is not over yet. Although Daoist Tianji was injured, it was not serious. He grabbed Su Tong's wrist and told him, "The thief took away the things you took. Hurry up and catch up, or you will miss the general." It’s not going to be good.”

【Chasing after the black-clothed assassin and retrieving the treasure. 】

"It's a bit cliché, but it's a good start." Barlow commented, then started to press the handle and start operating.

Although Chen Tiancai added a lot of restrictions in Daming Palace, a special place, but in other urban areas, the restrictions were much less.

At the same time, because of the special status of the protagonist Su Tong, the general curfew cannot catch him, and when he meets Wuhou who is watching the night, he can be let go just by meeting him.

However, if the player commits a malicious crime, he will still be punished by the surrounding Marquis Wu.

Barlow is already a skilled worker, and he has a lot of talent. In terms of speed, under the control of Barlow, he went up and down horizontally like flying over a wall, and quickly chased him into a small yard.

This process is actually not that simple. Since the black clothes are injured at the moment, the basic references for catching up are those dripping blood, and some seat references such as footprints.

There is a row of special skills on the far right of the basic skill 'Inner Breathing Technique', which is used to deal with this kind of investigation or pursuit process. It is very close to similar aspects in other games, but has its own unique aspects.

When he came to the small courtyard, Barlow naturally encountered an ambush. He quickly defeated all the enemies. After entering the room, he found that the black-clothed assassin was decapitated and had died long ago.

"It seems that someone got there first... Well, this taste! It seems to be from the Zoroastrianism." After some investigation, Su Tong's words continued to guide Barlow forward.

But it was already late at night, and by the time Barlow arrived at the mission destination, the gate had already been closed.

Although Su Tong is not affected by walking outside, the rules in the game are still in accordance with the historical records, so Barlow skipped this period of time and went directly to the early morning, the time when the gate opened.

This workshop is mainly the gathering place of Hu people's Zoroastrianism, so the exotic style is obvious, and it has no role in the main process. It is also the first time for Barlow to come here, and he is immediately attracted by the strange architectural style and strangely dressed NPCs.

Although there are many people coming and going, these people from other lands consciously stepped out of the way after seeing Su Tong. It seems that the status of officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty is very high in their minds.

When he came to a Zoroastrian spice shop, Barlow asked the boss, and then went directly to the underground manager here according to the task instructions, because the spice shop belonged to this underground manager.

Therefore, every income has an account to check. Things like spices that are not expensive and luxurious are also valuable, so you can naturally ask where they are going.

After finding the underground manager, Barlow was surprised to find that he was an acquaintance in the main process, and was saved by him in a battle.

Although the chat in the following animation was very enthusiastic, when it came to this kind of information, the underground manager still made a price.

Barlow didn't lack in-game currency, so he happily paid the bill.

I got a list with approximate addresses and descriptions of the customers' clothing and physical characteristics. There were a total of five places to find.

Using the teleportation function and the horse, Barlow quickly checked four of them, and it was obvious that the person he was looking for was the last one.

Arriving at the destination, Barlow was a little surprised to see the magnificent Taoist temple in front of him, because it was obviously a Taoist temple favored by the royal family. After walking in and seeing the decoration inside, it proved Barlow's judgment even more.

The Taoist boy in the temple welcomed Su Tong, and after explaining his purpose, the leader Balo came to an altar in the side hall of the Taoist temple.

A handsome young Taoist priest in his 20s is the last NPC for this mission.

As soon as the camera turned, the real-time animation of Su Tong and the young Taoist priest began to show.

"I did go out and kill someone last night, and got the treasure you mentioned, but why should I return it to you?" The young Taoist's attitude was a little aggressive.

Su Tong was not angry and said solemnly: "I know Guiguan's reputation, but this matter is related to the general of the sage Jiga's family. I wonder if it is because of his personality?"

The young Taoist priest held the fly whisk in his hand and swung it back and forth. He was probably thinking about the problem. Then he still said with a proud attitude: "Since it is related to the saint, it is naturally a big deal. Xiaodao dare not delay your business."

"Well……"

Before Su Tong finished speaking, he was interrupted by the young Taoist priest. He said, "It happens that I have nothing to do recently. Why don't we go to the palace to meet the saint and discuss whether we can do this together."
