Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

Hongfeng Village is a village built on the mountainside.

Downward are winding and rugged mountain roads, as well as misty areas that have not yet been explored, but there are many cliffs and rugged rocks on them.

Birds glided past, seemingly mixed with the loud cries of eagles.

In Hongfeng Village, surrounded by the dense green sea, the buildings still use original civil structures, and the houses look like they are.

During this period, everyone, with their yellow hair hanging down, was enjoying themselves.

It's like a paradise forgotten by the outside world.

However, the broken gaps in the corners and the cliffs that drop vertically like a knife seem to contain many stories.

Compared to Hongfeng Village, Mingyue Village, thousands of miles away, is more fashionable.

Buildings with bricks and gray walls abound, in stark contrast to Maple Village.

Mingyue Village was built on the plains, backed by three large mountains that had been chopped down to bare tree stumps. Under them, there was a mighty railway track that stretched into the mist in the distance.

At the end of the video, at the entrance of the cave, which is hundreds of meters high, there seems to be a constant tinkling sound coming from inside.

Gu Cheng and James had agreed that he would choose Mingyue Village and James would choose Hongfeng Village. As for Gu Pan, it was up to her.

He quickly selected a location, and under the random name function, he chose the name Jager.

The next second, his vision went dark.

When he opened his eyes again, his body had appeared in a huge square with towering statues of miners, and there were strange bloody patterns at his feet.

Yes, this is how players are born, totem summons.

[Congratulations, player Yage, you have gained +20 favorability from all the villagers in Mingyue Village and reached the friendly stage]

The reason why it is displayed at the beginning is not only to curb the player's murderous intention, but also to pave the way for subsequent tasks.

[Main mission: Find the village chief.

Mission introduction: Players from another world, you are called here and are real heroes, but you may need a friendly elder to help you understand this world quickly.

Reward: experience value*100]

This task is not difficult, but because the player is unfamiliar with it, the NPC will not have a logo above its head at the beginning.

During this mission, the player needs to take the initiative to ask the villagers who greeted him kindly along the way. While unlocking their real names and tags, they also need to ask for the location of the village chief's home.

After getting the accurate answer, the map in the upper right corner will automatically mark the location, ensuring that even road-crazy players will not get lost.

If the players are afraid, don't worry. Some enthusiastic NPCs scattered around the square will also take the initiative to help and guide the players.

During the action, Gu Cheng opened the properties panel.

[Player: Yager

Race: human

Level: 0 (0/100)

Health: 50

Strength: 5

Agility: 5

Intelligence: 5

Skills: None

Equipment: Novice Set]

Besides being ordinary, he was still ordinary, but Gu Cheng never thought about making quick money, so he didn't engage in those fancy talents.

Soon, he arrived at the village chief's house in the north of the village.

The village chief of Mingyue Village is an old man, but he still has strong muscles.

He spoke straightforwardly, laughed out loud as soon as he came up, and patted the player's shoulder familiarly.

But the force caused Gu Cheng, who had only a five-point constitution, to stagger and almost fall to the ground.

Gu Cheng tried his best to steady his body, thinking: I will change it soon.

"Yager, I am the village chief Tucker, welcome to Mingyue Village."

After introducing himself, the village chief took Gu Cheng out of the totem, and under the friendly eyes of the villagers, he understood his mission and goals.

"My child, thank you very much for coming. Mingyue Village has been troubled by demons for a long time, and now it even threatens the railway we depend on for survival. I hope you can clear the obstacles for us and maintain the safety of Mingyue Village."

Seeing Gu Cheng nodding, he patted his chest again and said, "Although Mingyue Village is in decline, it will never let down those who have made contributions."

"You can go to the various villagers in the village and they will help you gain preliminary combat power..."

After Village Chief Tucker introduced the basic situation of the village, the novice orientation was completed.

Immediately, Gu Cheng received 100 experience points and an initial capital of fifty coppers.

Gu Cheng calculated that fifty coppers was enough to buy an excellent weapon from the blacksmith shop and learn two entry-level skills.

So, he first visited the blacksmith shop, and with a 40% discount, he spent coppers to buy a knife with a three-point attack power bonus, and an ordinary mining pick that could collect ore.

The muscular man wiped his face with the sweat towel on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Yager, you are very discerning. Although this steel knife is only low-grade, it is almost mid-grade."

"Seeing that you purchase more than 35 copper coins at one time, I can teach you mining techniques for free."

"Thank you, Uncle Da."

Gu Cheng politely thanked him, and Uncle Da smiled honestly, and then took out a secret book called "Mining Technique" from under the table leg.

It's just that this preservation method is a bit too novel.

After the mining technique is opened, there is a practical demonstration video, which lasts less than fifteen seconds. It mainly teaches you some power movements.

You can learn the basics as soon as possible.

However, you can also skip the tutorial, but the initial experience gained during subsequent actual operations will be less.

When Uncle Da saw him finish learning, he praised: "Yage, you learned so fast."

"Now that you have learned mining skills, if you go to the mine, can you help me dig out five pieces of iron ore?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pop-up window popped up in front of Gu Cheng.

[Uncle Da, the blacksmith, sends you a task: Iron Ore*5

Reward: 100 experience points and some copper coins. 】

"Of course, I'm going to go there."

Uncle Da scratched his head and said with a smile: "That would be perfect."

Gu Cheng exchanged a few words with Uncle Da, then turned and walked to the pharmacy not far away.

The owner of the pharmacy is a young girl. As soon as she gets closer, the fragrance of medicinal materials hits her nostrils.

"Hello Yager, I'm Tia. What potions do you want to buy? I can give you a 10% discount!"

Friendly favorability can give you a 10% discount, with a minimum of 50% off, half buy and half free, which are also benefits provided to life players.

Gu Cheng glanced at the medicines in the pottery bottles in front of him. The main types of medicines included hemostatic ointment for restoring blood, Qi-gathering pills for restoring Qi, and external bandaging equipment were also placed one by one.

They are all commonly used medicines.

Gu Cheng directly used nine copper coins to buy two blood-restoring ointments that could slowly restore 30 points of blood.

"Your potion." Tia handed the potion to Gu Cheng. At the same time, she looked at the mining pick in Gu Cheng's hand and said, "Yager, are you going to the mine?"

Gu Cheng nodded, and then Tia continued: "Then are you willing to spend two copper coins to learn the art of collecting herbs from me?"

Gu Cheng naturally chose yes, then emptied his wallet and learned the herb-picking technique from Tia from the rafters.

Gu Cheng looked at the origin of this strange technique, pursed his lips slightly, and didn't know what to say.

After accepting the task of picking herbs from Shigen Sanqi, and taking the borrowed medicine pick, Gu Cheng slowly walked out of the village while looking for the map points of the mining area.

He was familiar with the map, so he easily dug out Sanqi and put it into the novice storage bag with only five spaces.

Although it requires realism, it cannot really make players feel too real. Otherwise, once they sink in, they may not be able to distinguish between reality and virtuality.

What's more, since this is a game, it's more reasonable to have the general settings in the game.

Following the railway track, Gu Cheng soon saw the guard stationed at the entrance of the mine.

When the villagers in the escort team saw him, they called out Yager's name in a friendly manner, and then actively introduced him to several good mining lands.

After Gu Cheng thanked him, he walked along the nearest route.

The mine was relatively dark, and a row of burning torches on the wall illuminated the way ahead for him.

Next to Gu Cheng's destination, an old miner was waving a mining pick.

Sensing the arrival, he excitedly stepped forward and introduced himself: "...Yager, no young people have come here for a long time. I'm so glad you chose this place."

The stories of these villagers were filled in with the help of people from the Cultural Affairs Department. Gu Cheng vaguely remembered that this old miner would later be attacked and killed by a demon with keen senses because he dug out rare ores that the demon coveted.

Then the player will receive a revenge mission to destroy the stronghold and kill the demon, so that he can regain the ore and get a chance to forge weapons from the son of the old miner's blacksmith boss in the city.

Gu Cheng stared at the old miner with wrinkles on his face and black dirt that couldn't be washed away between his fingers, but he had a kind and kind smile, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

I believe that the player who witnessed the death of the old miner will remember it more deeply.
