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

As a burst of golden light broke through the gray fog, her body was gradually sucked into the light pillar by a suction force.

In the blink of an eye, a clear human voice came to her ears. Under the huge statue of an old man, a group of men and women wearing the same coarse linen clothes as the villagers stood in the totem of dried blood, looking around in confusion.

[Is this Red Maple Village? What a beautiful scenery. 】

[Wherever the devil is, I will fight ten of them! 】

[Friendliness is 20 at the beginning. How afraid is this game that we will kill the villagers? 】

The enthusiasm of the discussion was high. At this moment, a clear system prompt sounded in every player's ears, asking them to go to the village chief for guidance.

The players who could be selected to participate in the internal test were all those who had watched the two pilot films and watched the material videos used as guides. So after being stunned for a while, they freely asked a few villagers and headed towards Heading in the direction of the village chief.

Ruth was not in a hurry to complete the guidance task, not to mention that the game did not require players to complete this task immediately, so Ruth turned around and headed in the opposite direction of the flow of people. The restaurant that exuded the rich aroma of fried buns In the bun shop.

The man who runs the bun shop is a fair and plump middle-aged man. He wears a clean white apron and a pair of gloves on his hands. He greets her with a smile.

"Girl, what do you want to buy? It's your first time coming to our place, and uncle will give you a 10% discount."

A girl?

Ruth was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that girl was a common term for girls in ancient proverbs.

As for that new word...

She suddenly looked at the top of her head and remembered her name, the fried buns, and instantly felt that the fried buns no longer tasted good.

"Having a girl? Didn't you bring any copper coins? It doesn't matter, you can take it away first and come back to pay the bill when you have money."

When Ruth heard the word copper coins, she remembered that she would not be able to get the initial funds if she did not complete the novice task.

Suddenly, she looked embarrassed, waved her hands and said no, and ran away from the bun shop before her uncle could continue to persuade her.

When the increasingly dense flow of people went to the village chief's house, they discovered that the village chief was standing on a high platform. After the number of people reached a hundred, the one-to-one explanation turned into a one-to-many speech.

[I am the village chief Zhang Suxiang. You can call me Grandma Zhang. Welcome to Hongfeng Village. Hongfeng Village has suffered...]

The situation of the two villages is similar. They are both facing the intrusion of demons. However, compared to the railway transportation crisis in Mingyue Village, Hongfeng Village is facing the infestation of demons on the road connecting to the town at the foot of the mountain, making it impossible for everyone to communicate with the outside world normally.

Therefore, the main mission in Hongfeng Village was refreshed simultaneously after Granny Zhang’s announcement.

[Main mission: Open the road to Qingquan Town

Mission introduction: Qingquan Town is the town closest to Hongfeng Village. It is also connected to the transmission channel to the southern towns and is an important trunk road.

Mission reward: some experience points, some silver coins, road guide*1]

Ruth successfully received 50 copper coins. After the village chief said goodbye to everyone and said he would go back to the house to drink water, everyone dispersed and walked around the village.

Ruth turned around unhurriedly. Because the bun shop was already lit up, she directly clicked on the automatic guidance, and her body was temporarily controlled by the AI. She lowered her head to check the information on the road guide.

[Item name: Road guide

Item introduction: This object is a kind of pass certificate in ancient times. Its main function is to prove the legality of the holder to leave the place. 】

"It's the pass. It turns out that in ancient times, it was called Luyin."

Ruth feels that this kind of design, which not only allows her to learn some little knowledge that others don’t know during the game, but also increases her immersive experience, is indeed unique and interesting.

Soon, she visited the bun shop again.

At this time, the bun shop owner was looking at the people who bought his buns with a smile on his face, and served delicious food to the players very quickly.

Ruth noticed that the boss's packaging was made of harder paper. He folded it into a cone shape in advance, and then incorporated the buns into it to make it easier for players to hold it and eat it.

"Girl, you are back."

The boss greeted her with a smile, but Ruth regretted the name again.

To avoid embarrassment, she just nodded and ordered ten fried buns at once.

She wanted to taste the difference between the game and reality.

"Ten!" The boss was surprised for a few seconds when he heard this, but seemed to suddenly realize it after seeing Ruth's game name again.

So, Ruth heard the boss take out a box woven with bamboo strips, and while helping her pack the fried buns, she sighed: "The girl's name was really prescient, as if she was born to love fried buns."

"If you want to eat pan-fried buns in the future, you can come directly to me, Wang Baoqiang."

Immediately, the real name of the bun shop owner was revealed in front of Ruth, but she did not dare to raise her head at all. She was so embarrassed that she almost found a crack in the ground to sneak in.

A blush instantly appeared on her tense face. At the same time, she secretly decided not to give random names again.

This name really hurt her!

"Here, girl, get your pan-fried buns."

Ruth forced a smile, paid 18 copper coins, and quickly took the bamboo box.

Just as she was about to leave again, she was caught off guard and stopped by her boss.

It wasn't that Ruth couldn't run. What really stopped her from leaving was that her boss's favorability suddenly increased by five points.

She forced herself to calm down and turned to face her boss's softer eyes.

"Miss Sheng, you are the first person to buy more than 15 copper coins of food at a time in my shop. I wonder if Ms. Sheng wants to learn how to make pasta from me?"

Task!

Ruth then saw a light screen pop up in front of her eyes.

[Wang Baoqiang, the owner of the Baozi Shop, has asked you to become an apprentice at the Baozi Shop. Do you accept it? 】

Ruth hesitated for less than half a second, and quickly agreed under the temptation of Baozi Shop's many types of pastries.

Wang Baoqiang smiled with satisfaction, and another notification sound for increasing the favorability by five popped up on Ruth's panel.

Ruth thought in a daze as she followed him towards the store.

Perhaps, this name is actually useful.
