I rely on being an NPC to cultivate immortals [holographic]

The setting sun paves the ancient road, and the evening wind shakes the weeds.

The slightly cool wind in early summer blows a chill on the forehead covered with fine beads of sweat.Dongli stood in front of the simple and majestic city gate, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up and saw the words "Luofeng Town" written on the gate flying like dragons and phoenixes, and felt a little relieved: finally arrived.

Today, he set off at dawn, crossed mountains and ridges, passed through villages and towns, and used several teleportation charms to arrive at the destination before dark——

Luofeng Town.

No wonder Gu Heng and the others had to rub against the giant falcons of those monks before, or else they would have walked by themselves, and it might really have taken ten days and a half a month.

As for why he traveled all the way to Luofeng Town, it was because the system guided him to come here.

As early as when he was promoted to level 10, a prompt popped up in the character panel: Do you want to use 100 billion experience to activate the spirit root?

After he clicked "Yes", he was promoted to level 10, and received a job transfer task: come to this Luofeng town, go to the chief executive of the monks' guild to test the spirit root and transfer jobs.

Taichu explained to him that after NPCs step into cultivation, they cannot enjoy the resources of the academy like players, which is equivalent to casual cultivation in the cultivation world.

But even so, the system still needs to register casual repairs in the register, so that it will be convenient for future management.

So, Dongli came.

Looking at the gates of the town at dusk, there were still people coming and going, and Dongli thought to himself that this town should be quite bustling and lively, and it deserves to be a town with a Cultivation Academy.

Stepping in, the system pops up a message: Welcome to Luofeng Town!

Then he introduced the scenery, geography, humanities, history, transportation and other aspects of Luofeng Town one by one.

There are also various guidelines, for example, if you are going to a college, how to enroll and where is the college; if you are going to do business, what procedures do you need to follow;

Finally, I wish him a smooth and happy journey to open the new map.

Dong Li found it quite interesting, [It's quite considerate. ]

At the beginning, I didn't take it seriously, [Basic operation. ]

Dongli walked into the town, [Why are there no officers and soldiers guarding the entrance of the town?Why is there no need to check the customs clearance document here?It seems that there is no need to pay the city fee? ]

Hearing that the master is so outdated with primitive common sense, it was a bit funny at the beginning, [Nowadays it is all high-tech surveillance, so why do we need such clumsy, primitive and laborious methods? ]

Dongli was a little curious, [How to monitor? ]

[Smart brain terminal! ] Taichu explained, [the main brain is connected to everyone's terminals, as long as it is covered by the main brain, the data can be accurately captured.No matter who it is, as soon as they step in, the local official system will automatically scan and detect the other party's information. If there is no problem with their identity, of course they will let them go silently. ]

[If there is a problem, as soon as you approach this area, the system will send out an alarm.Before the person in question entered the city, the law enforcement officers were in front of him.Therefore, there is no need to waste troops to guard the city gate. ]

[As for the entry fee, there is no shortage of such taxes in the game. ]

Dongli understood, [So, this is the reason for registering with the village chief before leaving Xinshou Village? ]

[Yes, if your terminal is not registered or connected to the star network, you will not be able to live, eat, live and travel. ]Because a personal terminal is required for meals, lodging and transportation, Taichu reminds, [Master, where are you going now?What to do first? ]

Dongli raised his eyes to see that the sky was getting dark, [Let's find an inn first and settle down.For other things, we will make plans tomorrow. ]

Taichu immediately found an inn with good quality and low price and high praise for him, [Master, please go to the right for 500 meters, there is a bus stop there.You can take the No. 3 bus and get off at Yuanyanghu Station. There is a very cost-effective hotel nearby... oh no, the inn. ]

Dongli turned right as promised, [Bus?What is that? ]

[Public transportation facilities generally have fixed routes and fixed shift times. ] Seeing him at the beginning was not clear, so I had to explain in detail what the bus was.

After explaining, Dongli also walked to the bus station, and there happened to be a bus coming. Taichu hurriedly reminded, [Master, get on the bus, the No. 3 bus is here. ]

Dongli looked at the bus in front of him before following them. Following the example of others, he stepped on the bus calmly and commented, [The shape is a bit like a large carriage without a horse, an extended version. ]

Is it a luxury extended version of the carriage?Hearing this description, Tai Chu couldn't help laughing, [Hey, isn't this to conform to the antique style in this game! ]

Of course, the more important reason is, [also in order to use local materials as much as possible to reduce the pollution caused by industrial and technological development, so as to prevent this planet from being ruined.Therefore, the main material of this car is wood, and the driving energy is Lingshi. ]

After Dongli got in the car, he followed others and found a seat by the window and sat down, [Since it needs a spirit stone to drive it, is there no charge? ]

[Take it! ] In the early days, like guiding a newborn, patiently popularize the common sense that children like Dongli know, [As soon as you get in the car, the on-board system will automatically connect to your terminal.When you get off the bus, the payment will be automatically charged and deducted according to the distance. ]

Dong Li was quite appreciative when he heard it, [This is convenient. ]

[This is just some necessary infrastructure. ] At the beginning, I didn’t take it seriously. If it weren’t for these things, life would be really inconvenient, and people from planet Earth wouldn’t be able to do these infrastructures at all.

Therefore, [In fact, there are still many efficient and convenient facilities on Earth that have not been moved here. One is that the time for humans to land here is still short, and productivity has not yet developed to that level; The primitive ecology of this planet. ]

Dongli nodded lightly. He had read the information on Earth Planet and knew that it was because of too much industrial and technological development, too much pollution, and human beings plundered the planet's resources too much, which led to the gradual extinction of species and turned them into a waste planet. .

While speaking, the car started. Dongli looked around and saw that the car was full of passengers, [Why is there no one driving? ]

[This car is equipped with an AI system and is self-driving. ] In the early days, I suddenly felt that my master was a primitive ancient, but it seems that it really is?Thinking of this, he had to give him various modern facilities that he saw along the way.

Dongli was quite surprised when he heard the words. He had refined a magic weapon that could fly, but he had never refined a magic weapon that could run on the ground.Looking back, he studied those principles to see if he could refine such a magic weapon.

Perhaps, other facilities like this kind of convenience can also be refined in the form of magical artifacts?

Or even, Dongli glanced at the terminal on his wrist, refining this personal terminal magic weapon?In that case, would it be possible to escape the supervision and control of the main brain?

Dongli leaned on the window and looked out of the window, inspired by many modern facilities and imagining wildly.

Admiring the style of this ancient town along the road, listening to Taichu's introduction to various aspects, it took almost an hour to walk, and it took less than two quarters of an hour to arrive at the inn.

This is so convenient that Dongli wants to turn all kinds of modern facilities into magic weapons.

The inn check-in system is also automated. On the car that came, the room was booked according to Dongli's request at the beginning.Then when you come over, just settle in directly, as convenient and comfortable as coming home.

This made Dongli observe and understand quietly everywhere, as if he had opened the door to a new world.

After a night's rest, Dongli went to the monks' union early the next morning to find the chief executive to do a job transfer task.

But the chief manager said that the Luofeng Mountain near this town was infested with rats, the mountain was full of pits digged by rats, and the ecological environment was seriously damaged, so he was asked to hunt and kill 100 [planing moles].

After Dongli took over the task, he read the task description and said that the [Planing Gopher] is a kind of gray-haired mountain mouse that looks like a groundhog, and its reproductive capacity is very strong.Each 【Planing Gopher】 will produce hundreds of thousands of eggs when it enters winter.

Then in late spring and early summer, the pups will emerge from their shells one after another, and within ten days or so they will quickly grow into adults [planer hamsters], which will dig holes and gnaw tree roots, or go downhill to bite crops, and are extremely destructive.

Moreover, the young mice that have just hatched have very good fur, very tender meat, and are also rich in nutrition. Many wealthy and wealthy families in the town like them very much, and they are considered a very good source of income.

Therefore, Dongli seriously doubted, [Why do I feel that he is cheating me to do free labor? ]

Fur and meat can be sold for money. Wouldn't it be possible to sell 100 planer gophers for a lot of money?

This is indeed an official task for people to manually eliminate rats in an environmentally friendly way. Knowing the game's urine nature, Taichu coughed uncomfortably. of. ]

OK!Dongli didn't care too much, but he didn't plan to do this task now.

Although it is called Luofeng Town, it is actually bigger than a city, and it takes half a day to go out.In this round trip, hundreds of planer squirrels must be hunted down, and it is estimated that it will take several days.

Anyway, the task does not require a completion time.

Therefore, Dongli first went to the relevant department to apply for the business qualification to open a second shop.

Because Dongli has a second-level businessman's occupation and has no bad records, the procedure went quickly, and the business license was immediately approved for him.

Then, Dongli immediately went to the housing management office and rented out the store selected through the terminal last night.

The layout of the new store is a bit like a courtyard house. The front two storeys are spacious and bright, the middle yard is shaded by trees, the kitchen on the left is clean and tidy, the wing room on the right is elegant and clean, and the main room at the back is more restrained and quiet.

The overall style is quiet and elegant, and the place is not small, but the price is a bit expensive, 50 gold a year, starting in three years.

When Dongli left Xinshou Village, the business of the grocery store plus the jerky, medicinal powder, ointment, bamboo rice and breakfast he made made a profit of 52 gold for nearly two months; the profit of the embroidery workshop was 110+ gold; the blacksmith shop Profit 90+ gold.

Therefore, since the server was opened, he has saved more than 250 gold in total, and more than half of the deposit was lost in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, the house and yard have been carefully repaired, and they look brand new and clean, so there is no need to spend money on cleaning.Moreover, the large furniture and equipment are complete, and there are shelves and so on, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

So even if it was more expensive, Dongli was rented out.

After completing the formalities, he went back to the new shop and closed the shop door. He took out the goods he had prepared for more than a month from the storage ring and put them on the shelves one by one. Fur armor or something.

The quantity is not much, and after placing it, it has not filled one-fifth of the shelf.

But Dongli didn't plan to buy ordinary daily groceries. He planned to buy materials and sell what he made.

Then, according to the local prices, it is necessary to mark a slightly higher price as appropriate.

After all, his goods are exclusively manufactured, and the rare is the most expensive.

After work, it will be dark.

The next step is to recruit a buddy to look at the shop for him, even if he is completely settled here.

Dongli originally wanted to write a recruitment notice and post it at the door, but Taichu laughed at him as a bumpkin, saying that it would be good for the recruitment to post the recruitment information directly on the Internet, so that many people can see it.

If someone who intends to be a shop assistant passes by him and sees the recruitment notice, when will he have to wait?It's just too inefficient.

Hearing this, Dong Li suddenly thought, [Can the announcement of the purchase of various materials be published on the... game network? ]

[Of course, there is a commercial system in the game, in which you can publish sales, acquisition or purchase information, and you can also register to open an online store. ] At the beginning, I was afraid that he would not understand what an online store is, so I explained it to him in detail, and then suggested, [Master, let’s open an online store too? ]

Dongli felt that this "online store" method was very good, so he nodded in agreement, but he was not very clear about the procedures, so he asked, [Then I will leave this to you?By the way, the recruitment notice was also released, as well as the purchase of materials. ]

[OK!no problem!Leave it all to me! ] In the beginning, it responded with all its mouths, which is its specialty.It didn't take a while to get it all done.

But after all, it is a new shop opening, and the price of his goods is relatively high, so whether it is online or offline, no one cares about it for the time being, but the recruitment is very efficient.

Early the next morning, as soon as Dongli opened the door, someone came to apply for the job.

Just seeing the person coming, Dong Li was taken aback, and Tai Chu also exclaimed, [Master, have you noticed it? ! ]

In the game, the difference between a player and an NPC is the color of the name above the head.

Players are white, NPCs are green.

But players will not foolishly run around with their names on them. At most, they will open their health bars when killing monsters, so that teammates can pay attention to their status.

And the name of the NPC cannot be hidden.

If the game does not have this function, from the appearance point of view, the player and the NPC are almost indistinguishable.

But Dongli still found a fundamental difference, that is, the player has spiritual power before training, and has spiritual consciousness after training, while the pure AI NPC does not.

This is the essential difference between having a soul and not having a soul.

But the NPC with the green name in front of him just met him, but he swept him with his spiritual sense.

What does that mean?Explain that this is a real NPC who has lost his life in reality and donated his consciousness to the game in exchange for a chance of resurrection.

It's still an NPC who obviously doesn't have the slightest cultivation, but has divine consciousness.

Dong Li found it interesting, responded to Tai Chu with a soft hum, and then invited people in for an interview.

The person who came was Chang Sheng, a rather thin boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old.With red lips and white teeth, he looks handsome.The eyelashes are long, and the way they hang down looks very cute and quiet.

Originally, this age did not meet his recruitment standards, but Dongli saw that he had a demeanor that did not match his age at all, like a general who was disarmed and returned to the field, with a restrained edge and a return to basics.

Moreover, although his eyes are calm and quiet, he carefully hides a trace of bewilderment and innocence, which makes Dongli feel inexplicably... a sense of fate... as if he is also a fallen person in the end of the world.

Could this guy also come from another world?

However, Dongli was not in a hurry to test it out. The monk's intuition would not be aimless, so he was recruited. Anyway, there is no such thing as child labor in the game.

The two parties confirmed the job content and salary, and after there was no objection, Dong Li hired him at a monthly salary of 1000 silver coins, which is 1 gold coin.

I also learned that he is an orphan in the town. He usually works as a porter at the dock, and at night he shows the warehouse for others, and he has no fixed place to live.So Dongli simply covered his board and lodging and let him live on the second floor of the shop for the time being.

His shop is quite big now, and he doesn't have so many goods to sell at the moment, the shelves on the first floor can't be filled, and the second floor is also empty.

As soon as the work was handed over, the daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans, etc. that Taichu bought online last night arrived.

Dongli asked Changsheng to open the shop for business, and he went to tidy up the house by himself.

Only then did Taichu quietly ask, [Master, are you not afraid that he will find out that you are also a real NPC? ]

[Won't. ] Dongli is quite sure, [The consciousness just swept over is loose and disorderly, which means that he didn't spy on me on purpose, but he let it out unconsciously. ]

This shows that the other party doesn't know how to retract and release the divine sense at all, and even, they don't know what the divine sense is at all.How could a person who didn't realize the existence of divine consciousness be aware of his powerful divine consciousness that blends into nature and can be one with all things.

Maybe he was really Donglai of the planet Earth in his last life. In order to study and explore planetary immigration, he used his own consciousness for scientific research. As a result, when he was born in the realm of comprehension in his previous life, his spiritual consciousness was extremely powerful, so powerful that a mortal body could not bear it. He was so tired that he had been weak and weak since he was a child, and it was not easy to practice.

[oh! ] Hearing that there is no threat to his master, he was relieved from the beginning, [Then why don't we hire a pure AI NPC?He's always a variable, isn't he? ]

You know, generally real NPCs are registered in the system, maybe the mastermind will track and observe their situation?It would be bad if it affected the master.

Dongli just found it interesting, [I want to see if this method of resurrection is really feasible. ]

He didn't reveal it to Tai Chu, he doubted the origin of the other party.Even suspect the other party, maybe there are similarities with him.

Dongli spent a whole day tidying up the inside and outside of the house and yard into a comfortable and leisurely appearance full of life.

So far, he has finally settled down here.

It took two days before and after, which was fairly quick.

On the third day after coming here, Dongli picked up the bamboo basket and told Changsheng to look at the store carefully, and then went to Luofeng Mountain to prepare for the job transfer task.

It is good to have system monitoring, and there is no need to worry about the newly hired guy stealing, cheating, embezzling property, or selling his shop directly.

Dongli went out with confidence, got on the bus in the direction of Luofeng Mountain, got off at the terminal station in less than an hour, and then went out of town and walked up the mountain.

If this is walking, I am afraid it will take a long time to walk.Before being able to fly with the sword, it is indeed much more convenient to travel by bus.

Dongli went out early in the morning. The days are long in May, and the dawn is early, and it only took more than an hour on the road, so when he arrived on the mountain, Chaoyang had just woken up.

Luofeng Mountain is large, and taking advantage of the lack of people in the early morning, Dongli used a teleportation talisman to find the place where the task instruction [Planing Mole] often haunts.

The chief manager is indeed right, Luofeng Mountain is infested with rats, planer gophers are almost infested.As soon as Dongli came, he found several traces of planing gophers.

It's just that the 【Planing Gopher】should be the gold-eating rat in their cultivation world.

As the name suggests, gold-eating rats love to eat gold, are good at walking, and feed on metal or ore energy, so people in the cultivation world often look for rare metal mines based on their traces.

But now that the gold-eating rats are nesting and breeding in Luofeng Mountain, maybe this Luofeng Mountain is rich in some kind of rare metal ore?

Dongli's heart moved slightly, and he caught a gold-eating mouse that was full of food early in the morning and opened it to take a look. He found that there were a lot of blood chalcedony, and a small amount of gold phosphate rock and hematite. .

Looking up at the maple trees all over the mountain with tiny red flowers, Dong Li probably understood.

This maple tree is not an ordinary maple tree on Earth, it is called the blood jade maple, and it is a twin plant.It blooms in late spring and bears fruit in early summer. After the fruit matures in autumn, a blood jade bird will fly out of its shell.

The blood jade bird, as its name suggests, grows like a red maple leaf, its whole body is as bright red as blood, but it has a jade-like luster.And it looks like a maple leaf. When perched on a maple tree, people can't tell whether it's a leaf or a bird. This is also their self-protection color.

After they die, they will burrow into the ground under the maple tree and turn into nourishment to return to the maple tree that gave birth to it.After years of accumulation, there is a certain chance that blood chalcedony will form under the interaction of their bones and soil.

So this blood chalcedony is a very rare ore, hard to find in the world.

It can be used as medicine to refine the elixir of the living dead and white bones, and it is also one of the indispensable main materials for reshaping the body and bones.Moreover, other elixirs made from this ore as medicine have a very powerful effect of nourishing blood, regenerating flesh and restoring bones.

In gaming terms, it's a super hit.

It can also be used as a refiner.Weapons made by adding this kind of ore will have the effect of devouring blood, and the wounds cut by this kind of weapons will not stop bleeding and cannot heal.

It can also be made into other magic weapons with many functions.

Dongli saw that the blood jade maples on the mountain were several meters thick, so he knew that the blood jade maples had existed for a long time and had an extremely long lifespan. There must be a lot of blood chalcedony formed underground.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Given a rare opportunity, Dongli simply put aside the mouse hunting mission and concentrated on digging for blood chalcedony.

Blood chalcedony is actually very easy to find, look at the sap of the maple tree.The redder the sap, the more likely blood chalcedony will grow under the maple tree.

Earthlings don't know what to buy, and no one digs blood chalcedony.And the blood chalcedony on Luofeng Mountain has been accumulated for many years, and it has almost formed veins of blood chalcedony, no wonder it attracts gold-eating rats to flood it.

It took Dongli a long time to dig out a few large pieces of blood chalcedony with extremely high purity and age.

Without cultivation, his ability alone is really limited. It seems that he will have to issue a task for players to help him dig.

Dongli, who was concentrating on mining, was thinking about this when he suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object hitting a branch. Looking up, he saw a figure falling from the nearby cliff on the lush maple branches. Buffer, falling in embarrassment.

Suddenly seeing someone under the tree, the person fell into a dazed state and did not forget to kindly remind him, "Hey! Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Dong Liyan jumped aside quickly, and in the next second, the opponent's whole body was smashed into the hole he had just dug loosely in the shape of a "big" with a "bang". Grass dust flies.

"Bah, bah, bah!" The other party thumped his face out of the pit, and raised his head in disgrace, "I'm sorry, I didn't hit you..."

While speaking, he looked up, and when he saw the person standing in front of him clearly, his eyes widened suddenly, "Little boss?!"

This is really a unique reunion, unexpectedly falling from the sky and falling in front of him, Dongli couldn't help teasing, "There is no need to do such a big gift."

The author has something to say: Nanshan: QAQ, shame again o(╥﹏╥)o
