Fantasy Game: Infinite City

A few minutes later.

The three of them drove a horse-drawn carriage loaded with groceries to the main gate of the farm. Compared with two hours ago, the place looked different. There were a large number of monster corpses lying in front of the door. However, judging from the way they died, they were probably not all killed by guns, but were bitten by something else.

"What's going on here?"

"I have a guess, but I'm not sure."

"Tell me?"

Doctor Straw got off the carriage, examined the bodies of the monsters, and then expressed his thoughts.

"Someone must have attracted a large number of monsters and used the hidden boss's characteristics to kill them with the farmer's hands. From the direction where the monster corpses fell, we can see that they were heading towards the location where the task list was posted before they were knocked down."

"This statement is very reasonable, but why do you say you are not sure?" The demon man asked.

"If it was a normal mode instance, then the only people who did this would be players. However, in the new mode instance, many places have undergone significant changes, so although the probability is very small, it is possible that some NPCs did it."

"It's not important now. Let's finish the mission first and then go back to town. I feel like things are going to get troublesome. With our limited strength, we'd better be cautious."

"The captain is right. I'll go ring the bell."

Doctor Straw walked around the monster's corpse on the ground and came to the gate of the farm. There was a thin rope hanging on the door frame, connected to a small bell hanging on the farm plaque. When he pulled the thin rope, a crisp bell sounded. Strangely, although the small bell did not make much sound, the farmer's figure could be seen on the farm road opposite the barn. Soon, he appeared.

After a while, the farmer came to the gate and opened it. The three of them drove the carriage slowly along the farm path to the farmer's house. After unloading the goods at the door, the captain began to talk with the farmer.

“Here’s the rest of the money.”

"Keep it. It cost a lot of money to hire a car, right?"

"No, the owner of the carriage heard that we were delivering goods for you, so he didn't ask for a penny."

"You guys are so nice, actually, if you don't tell me, I won't ask."

“We don’t think that’s a good thing to do.”

"Haha, thank you very much. By the way, you can take the remaining money as my reward. By the way, please wait for me for a while."

Farmer Frank asked the captain to wait for him here for a while. He turned around and went to the cellar next to the small house. He took out a small wooden beer box from it. Inside were six plain bottles. They should be filled with beer, but the color was a little special, a very dark black. It was much darker than ordinary dark beer.

"Here, this is the beer I brewed myself, take it and try it."

"Thank you."

After putting away the small beer box, the three said goodbye to the farmer Frank and drove the carriage out of the farm. Frank drove them all the way to the farm gate. After the carriage drove onto the main road, Frank closed the farm gate and returned to the farm.

"Next we will go back to town and take on some bounties that we can complete, and then we can leave the dungeon. Scarecrow, see what that beer does."

The Scarecrow opened the beer box and took out a bottle of beer. The system quickly popped up a detailed introduction.

"Equipment Name: Frank's Homebrew"

"Skill Effect: After drinking, one of three effects will appear, greatly improving all attributes, or showing the detailed location of key items and places, or triggering the intoxication effect"

"Intoxication effect: The drinker cannot move, nothing will happen"

"Equipment requirements: Complete Farmer Frank's mission"

“Equipment description: A half-dozen bottles of home-brewed beer, with a mellow taste and plenty of bubbles, but the amount is a little high. It can be well preserved in any environment and will not deteriorate. It is better to drink it after refrigeration.”

"Feature A: Can be used in any instance. After the beer is consumed, each beer bottle and beer box can launch a throwing attack. It cannot be dodged, blocked, or offset. The attack is guaranteed to hit and will trigger a critical hit. However, the damage will decay with the target's defense, and there is a 90% chance of destroying the overlord."

“Characteristic B: Before the beer is consumed, the beer and the beer box cannot be destroyed and have a strong taunting effect, but it has no effect on the farmer Mr. Frank.”

After reading the detailed introduction, the Straw Doctor looked very excited. He handed the beer in his hand to the magic man next to him. After reading the description, the latter was confused. He obviously did not understand what the function of a thing that should be considered a consumable item was.

"You are still shortsighted," the captain who took the bottle laughed after reading the description. "You can think of this beer box as an indestructible armor, a powerful taunt follower, a powerful enhancement potion, and a weapon against hegemony, all in one."

"What do you mean?"

"What's wrong with your brain? You are a magician among the three of us, so shouldn't your intelligence be the highest? What? Did you sacrifice your brain to learn magic?" The Straw Doctor patted the magic man's shoulder and laughed so hard that he fell backwards. The captain in front also laughed so hard that he almost drove the carriage into the ditch on the side of the road.

"What do you mean by that?! What a joke! You all know that I'm slow in thinking!"

"Well, you, I remember there is an empty slot in the equipment column, you equip this beer box first, and then, instead of explaining it with words, we will experience it in practice in a moment."

"Ah? Okay."

As the magic man equipped the beer box, the beer box and the beer inside disappeared and entered his equipment slot, officially becoming his equipment. Afterwards, the three of them quickly returned to the town and resolutely took on the most difficult task in the sheriff's office in the town.

"Mission objective: Eliminate the final boss of the dungeon"

"Mission Rewards: Huge Experience Points, Huge Currency, 20 Free Attribute Points (per person)"

"Failure penalty: Weak state (lasts 4 hours)"

After learning that the bounty was accepted by three people, the people in the town, even the sheriff and the mayor, surrounded the three of them. The expressions on their faces were very contradictory, half happy and half sad. In the end, it was the mayor of the town, Lady Mary, who spoke first.

"Three young men, I admire your courage, but listen to my advice, you'd better not go on this bounty mission, you will die."

"We completely understand your concerns, Mayor, but don't worry about us. Maybe we can solve this big problem that has been plaguing the town for a long time."

"But...."

"Even if we can't do it, it's just three outsiders who died, that's all."

Ignoring the townspeople's dissuasion, the three men squeezed out of the crowd and prepared to rent another carriage. When the boss learned what they were going to do, he directly gave the carriage to them and patted the captain's shoulder regretfully.

Before they left, the entire town came out to see them off, and said goodbye to them with sad faces. Some of the more sensitive townspeople even shed tears.

After waving goodbye, the three of them left the town and soon disappeared on the road. The townspeople returned to the town and the whole town fell silent, as if they were observing a moment of silence in advance for the three brave outsiders.

"...Did you see the expressions of those townspeople? Captain, have you been possessed by some evil spirit? Why did you accept this mission directly?! What? Have you had enough of living and want to experience something exciting?"

"What nonsense! Don't you want to become a famous high-level player? Ha! Your chance has come, brother. Wait, in two days, your name will be listed on the forum!"

"What do you mean? I'm the main force???!!!! Isn't this bullshit!"

The demon man suddenly panicked and was even ready to jump out of the carriage to escape, but out of trust in his friend, he ultimately did not do so. Instead, he lay down in the cargo bed of the carriage in frustration.

"Guns enthusiast, what do you think his expression will be after he knocks down the final boss? I'm not sure, but he will be stunned, hahahaha!"

"That makes sense! Hahaha!"

Amidst the laughter of Doctor Straw and the captain, the carriage drove to an area with more monsters. While driving the carriage to avoid them, the three of them cautiously dealt with the increasing number of monsters. The three of them were not very strong, but they cooperated very well, and with the unusually calm horses, the three of them did not suffer any injuries at all, but they consumed a lot of energy. After an hour of continuous fighting, the monsters that were like a tide around them stopped outside the range of a dilapidated building and gradually left.

"Phew! It was not easy! But we made it through successfully. Let's take a break to recover, and then we will start the main event."

"Whatever. I don't know why I haven't run away yet. I made the wrong friends!"

"Okay, stop complaining. You'll soon understand why we chose the next mission to kill the final boss. This feat that has never been accomplished before will soon be accomplished by the three of us, ha!"

"Whatever..."

The demon man was relieved, and was recovering with a nonchalant look on his face. He looked at the dilapidated building in front of him that exuded a terrifying aura, and his heart was as calm as water.

"I don't know how long it will take us, let's just grind."
