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

Fight the Nian Beast in the foggy area, complete the NPC task in the village, and get a New Year gift.

In the morning, Hongfeng Village is like a peaceful and beautiful picture.

The houses in the village are scattered in an orderly manner, and the tiles on the roofs seem to be soaked by dew, exuding a moist luster. On the New Year's morning, the smoke rises early from the chimneys of each house, winding and floating in the air.

Na'e put her hands on the window and watched the players passing by the road facing the street.

They were in twos and threes, holding weapons in their hands, and were happily discussing with their companions how to cooperate to fight the Nian Beast.

However, Na'e quickly withdrew her gaze.

Because, in her plan, she never thought of leaving the village to fight the Nian Beast.

[The anchor is too cowardly. He doesn’t want to fight monsters when playing games. What’s the point of staying in the safe zone all the time? 】

Just as Na'e was about to explain, some audience members came out to speak for her.

[What does this have to do with you? Can’t you upgrade if you stay in the village? Is it that the comic strips are not good-looking, or that Master Liu is not kind enough? 】

[Yes, why do you have to go out and fight monsters so hard when you can upgrade safely? Anyway, I like the anchor's way of upgrading. 】

Under everyone's generous words, Na'e finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, at the end of the first closed beta of the game, the game was vaguely divided into two factions.

Combat upgrade party and professional skill upgrade party.

In fact, the two groups should be complementary to each other.

After all, combat also requires strong logistical support.

But the development of things did not follow the established route. Instead, the two gradually stood on opposite sides.

The reason is that the combat escalation party believes that the peaceful life of the non-combatant party was obtained with their lives and experience, so they deserve more preferential treatment.

This kind of preferential treatment is not limited to moral kidnapping to obtain more discounts, verbal superiority, etc. when purchasing goods from non-fighting party players.

Naturally, the non-militant parties would not be happy.

Everyone is just playing games, why are they divided into different groups?

The upgrade conditions for non-combatant parties are slower than those for combatant parties.

As professional skills continue to improve, the requirements to reach the next stage are also increasing exponentially.

Therefore, this not only requires players to spend more time and energy to improve their proficiency, but also requires enough money to buy materials and practice.

But at this time, the militant party actually used this as a reason to sell the products they had worked so hard to produce at a low price.

Even if they really wanted to sell it to get some blood, they couldn't sell it easily.

The final result is that the combat party players return to the NPC store, and the NPC store acquires the players' works and resells them.

This wave, the game is making a lot of money.

After closing the window, Na'e slowly came to the courtyard.

At this time, Liu Mou was holding a hammer in one hand and an ax in the other, splitting a tree that was three times as thick as her waist.

Na'e saw that the master was concentrating on the work, so she didn't bother her and leaned against the railing quietly, waiting for the master to finish.

Liu Mou seemed to have noticed her arrival a long time ago. After the heavy tree trunk fell to the ground with a "clang", he panted slightly, tilted his head and asked:

"Why didn't you go out? There is a Nian beast around today. If you take back the Nian beast's horn and give it to the village chief, you can get some good things in exchange."

In his impression, although Na'e, the little apprentice, was a homebody and didn't like to leave the village, she loved to join in the fun!

He didn't believe that she wasn't curious about this rare thing that happened once a year.

After hearing this, Na'e crossed the railing and came to the courtyard. She smiled at Liu Mou and said, "Today is the first day of the new year, so naturally I have to spend it with you."

So, if you have any wishes, don’t be stingy and throw them all over!

As if he had a mental connection with her, Liu Mou put down the ax and hammer in his hand, propped up his chin and said thoughtfully: "In that case, maybe you can help with this matter."

"What what? What is it?"

As soon as his words came out, Na'e smelled the mission.

Liu Mou had a sullen face and said solemnly: "Help me be a puppet together."

"Okay."

Na'e agreed immediately.

Speaking of which, her two puppets were successful thanks to Liu Mou's guidance.

Otherwise, with her rookie skills, it would be difficult to make a moving doll.

"Don't agree too early, this puppet is no ordinary puppet." Liu Mou was afraid that she would take it lightly, so he said seriously: "It's a human skin puppet."

"Human... human skin!!" Na'e covered her mouth in surprise and took a few steps back as if she couldn't believe it.

Liu Mou had no intention of paying attention to Na'e's panic. He just lowered his head and picked up the ax and hammer again, and said softly: "It's time for Qingtan to come back."

Hearing Master Qingtan's name, Na'e remembered the story Liu Mou told her, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes, the master once mentioned that Master Qingtan's skin has been specially modified.

Even if the physical body has decayed, I'm afraid the skin can still be preserved.

If the human skin this time belongs to Master Qingtan...

Thinking of this, the fear in Na'e's heart suddenly disappeared and she became more positive.

"Master, human skin is human skin, I'm not afraid of it." She first made her position clear, and then said with great emotion:

"Master Qingtan is also my master. If he can have his own body, I will be honored as a participant. How can I be afraid?"

What he said was full of emotion and no skills.

Liu Mou's men couldn't help but hesitate in their movements. After a long time, he nodded and said: "Then it's up to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a system message popped up in front of Na'e.

[The system prompts that leather goods master Liu Mou’s New Year’s wish: the puppet Qingtan has been triggered. Do players accept it? 】

Na'e chose yes without hesitation, and a task chain popped up immediately.

From helping Liu Mou handle wood, perform precision machining, soaking collected leather goods in medicinal liquid, etc., there are more than a dozen large and small tasks in a row.

Na'e estimated that in order to complete the entire task chain, she would have to do it all today.

But when she saw the rewards from the task chain, Na'e was instantly full of fighting spirit.

The passage to Qingquan Town has been opened, and many players have flocked into the town to explore and change their jobs to higher-level forms.

But Na'e is one of the few players still staying in Novice Village.

Without him, she hasn’t even started training yet!

At this time, the disadvantages of hiding a career become very obvious.

It’s difficult to get started, and it’s also difficult to graduate.

And if this mission is completed, her proficiency may be enough to raise her puppetry to the highest level.

What's more, after completing the task, the master will also provide a job transfer certificate and a letter of introduction.

Introduce her to school and become a disciple of a famous teacher.

This simply paved the way for her future.

No wonder the status of masters in ancient times was almost the same as that of biological parents.

While Na'e was running the task chain in a huff, a massive hunt was going on in the Fairy Soul Village.
