The day when I was forcibly bound by an NPC

The orange-haired aunt put a cotton robe on him, the young man with firm eyes tied his belt tightly, the beautiful girl gave him thick gloves, and the half-grown child tiptoed to wrap the long scarf around his neck .

Jiang Zhaonian stepped into Uncle Woodman's cotton boots, with justice written all over his face: "Don't worry, everyone, I will be back soon!"

My aunt looked at him kindly: "Don't worry, be careful of your own safety."

It's a pity that at this time, Jiang Zhaonian couldn't accept her implication at all. He vigorously raised the handle of the cart and waved to everyone: "I will definitely come back soon and build a village with everyone!"

The woodcutter nodded, looking at his back approvingly: "This is really a good boy."

The girl covered her face with her palms and said melancholy: "He is a good person, what a pity..."

&&

And Jiang Zhaonian was already on the way.

He picked up the map given by the villagers, and a corresponding route was highlighted on the small map in the upper right corner.

With a full set of winter equipment, the ice and snow outside are no longer a threat. At this time, the smooth ice surface becomes the driving force for the wheels to roll. Jiang Zhaonian can even easily push the car to run.

It's a pity that the physical strength of the abandoned house could not support him for too long, Jiang Zhaonian panted and gradually slowed down, walking slowly while looking at the scenery along the way.

The mage lives in the deep forest in the north of the village, and the more you walk in, the more densely the branches intertwine.It can be imagined that in summer and autumn, when the leaves germinate, even if the sky is blue and white, there is not much light in the forest.

The woods made it inconvenient to move, almost every step had to encounter protruding tree roots, Jiang Zhaonian had to use his strength to push the cart over.

The road is not easy to walk, and the physical strength is exhausted.Jiang Zhaonian frowned, pushed the cart seriously, and gradually forgot to think about other things.

Suddenly his arm went limp for no reason, unable to retract the force he exerted, Jiang Zhaonian threw his body forward and overturned the whole cart with him.

This time he fell firmly to the ground, Jiang Zhaonian was still in a daze, why did he fall?

But he didn't care much, got up and packed his things, and started on the road again.

As a result, not long after walking out this time, he fell again due to the same situation.

Jiang Zhaonian looked dazed, sat on the ground rubbing his arms, and didn't get up in a hurry.

His physical strength is useless, but he won't fall on the ground after walking a few steps like he is now?

Suddenly, with a flash of inspiration, Jiang Zhaonian understood something.He opened the status interface, and sure enough, the stamina bar had dropped to less than 1/5 of the length, warning him that his stamina was insufficient.

Jiang Zhaonian: ...

At this time, according to the routine of the game, it is time to eat to replenish physical strength.

He didn't bring anything with him, and he looked around for a moment, seeing that it was hard to find anything that looked edible in the icy world.

The road ahead was endless, and according to the map, he still had to walk in the forest for a long time.

If you want to complete the task, you must replenish your physical strength.

Jiang Zhaonian searched for a while, and finally found a few wild fruits that fell on the ground.

The fruit was sealed in the snow by a thick layer of ice. He clenched his fist and hit it hard a few times.

Jiang Zhaonian was discouraged and fell to the ground with an "ah".

He turned over and lay on his back, trying to figure out a way while breathing slowly.

The focus of sight gradually gathered from the void to the staggered tree branches. Jiang Zhaonian suddenly found the fruits hanging on the treetops. They were wrapped in ice shells and turned into cute ice balls—but when they were broken from the treetops, The next small ice puck is definitely much easier than crushing the ice with bare hands.

So he worked hard, and after his physical strength dropped a lot, he finally got those ice pucks.

Jiang Zhaonian took off his gloves and used his body temperature to melt a little bit of the ice shell. He couldn't wait, so he threw it into his mouth, chewed the fruit together with the ice and ate it.

Sure enough, his physical strength recovered for a while.

Jiang Zhaonian finished eating a few fruits, and his physical strength bar recovered more than half. Although it is still not enough for the journey, he should be able to continue to recover while walking.

He thought so naively, and continued on the road.As a result, he didn't go far, and suddenly there was a cramping pain in his abdomen.

Jiang Zhaonian let go of the cart, staggered to the side of the road, held on to a tree trunk and vomited.

It didn't get better even after vomiting, and I was still nauseous, and even started to feel dizzy.He shook his head vigorously, but his dizziness became more and more serious.Finally, Jiang Zhaonian's eyes darkened and he passed out.

When he woke up again, he was still there, and the sky was already getting dark.

Jiang Zhao realized later that he felt the malice of this "game world".

He turned on the status, and the status bar representing the internal environment turned yellow, with a green skull icon next to it.

Under his gaze, the icon began to flicker, and disappeared after five times, and the internal environment bar also returned to a healthy green color.

However, the status bars of basic needs such as hunger and thirst are uneven and lacking.The life value also lost a significant part.

Jiang Zhaonian was lying on the ground, his mind collapsed.This game is too difficult! !

He didn't dare to pick and eat wild fruits at will, but what about the mission...

Jiang Zhaonian struggled to get up, opened the map, and saw that he was in the middle of the starting point and the goal.

He gritted his teeth and decided to put the things here first, and go to the mage's residence by himself.It would be best if you can submit the task directly. If you can't hand in the task, you can at least see if you can get food that restores your stamina.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Zhaonian did not carry a light source, and the entire forest was shrouded in darkness. Only a firefly of unknown origin occasionally flickered twice, illuminating a small piece of bare tree trunk.

Jiang Zhaonian stumbled and even stepped into a big pit on the way, and it took a lot of physical strength to climb out.

His robe was torn by the branches, and he began to pour cold wind into it; his hat also fell to the ground, and he didn't know where to roll in the darkness; the scarf was dragged down for a long time and was stepped on several times, and it was covered with mud.

The bad situation along the way seemed to be some kind of ominous omen, but in the end, at least before his physical strength was completely exhausted, Jiang Zhaonian successfully reached the goal: the courtyard of the eccentric mage.

Jiang Zhaonian was so grateful that he couldn't wait to walk to the door and shouted: "Mr. Master, are you at home? Hello, Mr. Master——"

The yard was as silent as the night.

Jiang Zhaonian was a little confused, what should we do?

He stepped forward, patted on the door, and said unwillingly, "Is anyone there, Mr. Master?"

Jiang Zhaonian pulled the door lock and pushed it back and forth a few times, wanting to see if the lock was locked from the inside or the outside.

Before he could come up with a result of his research, several icicles fell from the sky and landed beside him, forming an ice prison.

! !

Jiang Zhaonian was taken aback, turned around hurriedly, pushed a few icicles, the ice cage remained motionless, and instead made his hands red from the cold.

He let go of his hand and started to panic: "Is there anyone...Mr. Mage? Help, let me out!!!"

Naturally, there was no response.

Tired of tossing and tossing, Jiang Zhaonian finally resigned to his fate and gave up struggling.

He gradually squatted down to the ground, leaning against the icicle on his back, nodding his head and dozing off.

The moon climbed higher and higher, and the mage, who had been busy for a long time, finally rushed home.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into this big surprise head-on.

He raised his eyebrows, and his originally comfortable expression became cold and stern.

The mage walked to Jiang Zhaonian's side, put one hand over his head, and looked at his face from top to bottom.

Jiang Zhaonian was still dazed, his jaw hurt from being pinched, he tried to open his eyes, finally saw the stern face of the visitor through his blurred vision, and met those ice-like eyes.

The mage curled the corner of his mouth coldly, but couldn't see a trace of a smile.

Jiang Zhaonian's back was chilly, the mage's voice sounded as cold as that smile to him.

"Look what I found, a little mouse in the wrong place."
