Hu Die Lan

Chapter 59 Moonlit City Customs

Chapter 128 Light Village

Gu Fei had just mentioned Light Village, and Hongchen Yixiao immediately said he had found a clue. Without a doubt, there would be a major breakthrough in the Eddie's Mission quest chain at Light Village. Gu Fei had always figured that the key to this mission was to first figure out exactly what Eddie's mission was, which would make it easier to continue to the next step. Now it seemed that clues should be left in Light Village, or this was a stop that Eddie had once passed through, or he was an inhabitant of Light Village.

This kind of intelligence shouldn't be difficult to dig up. When he arrived at Light Village, he should be able to gain something by asking the NPCs one by one.

Gu Fei continued to walk with Xiao Yu while thinking. Gradually, he could see the silhouette of Moonlit City in the distance. Compared with Cloud City, there was no significant difference. Xiao Yu pointed to the city, dumbfounded, and said, "What a huge village."

Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This is not Light Village, this is Moonlit City. Like Cloud City, it is also a main city. Light Village should be nearby. Asking someone will probably tell us." Gu Fei looked around, and he could see a few players fighting monsters here and there. It was estimated that this was not a popular leveling area, and that was why so few people chose to level up here. Gu Fei selected a target and walked over with Xiao Yu.

This person was a thief in attire, running briskly all over the mountains and fields, mostly choosing to detour when encountering enemies instead of fighting. Occasionally he would squat on the ground searching for something.

Gu Fei and Xiao Yu caught up with this person and called out to stop him.

"Friend, what's your name?" Gu Fei greeted.

"Kang Shifu." The man sized up the two of them and answered.

"Hahahaha, Kang Shifu, instant noodles!" Xiao Yu laughed, this kind of joke was just right for her. A name like Fireball was a bit too deep for her.

The other party looked displeased and said unhappily, "It's not like I wanted to take this name myself."

When Gu Fei heard this, he immediately felt a sense of closeness, feeling like himself as a victim of an unsuitable account name. After stopping Xiao Yu's laughter, he continued to ask, "We want to go to Light Village, can you tell us how to get there?"

Kang Shifu looked at the two of them up and down in surprise, and then said in a daze, "Can't appraise you? Are you two higher level than me, level 30?"

The two nodded.

"Level 30 and don't know how to get to Light Village?" Kang Shifu immediately looked at the two with new respect.

"You misunderstood, we are not from this Moonlit City, we came from Cloud City over there." Gu Fei hurriedly explained, pointing in the direction of Cloud City.

Kang Shifu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Cloud City? Another main city? Can you walk here? How do you walk? How long does it take?"

"Just follow the avenue of Wulong Mountain Range, the two of us walked for about three hours, not very fast." Gu Fei said.

"Come, come! Let me ask you." Kang Shifu pulled Gu Fei to the front, "In your Cloud City, is there a kind of green plant with pink or rose-red flowers, and leaves that are this big?" Kang Shifu gestured with his hands as he spoke.

"No." Gu Fei shook his head immediately.

"Think again." Kang Shifu looked expectant.

"Green, with pink or rose-red flowers, I often see such plants, but leaves that big! I haven't seen them." Gu Fei also mimicked his appearance and gestured. The leaves that Kang Shifu gestured were extremely exaggerated. Gu Fei estimated that a plant with such large leaves would have to be as tall as a person, and it would not be appropriate to call it a flower or grass. It would have to be considered a small tree! He had never seen it in the game.

"What kind of plant is this?" Xiao Yu asked curiously.

"Oh! It's nothing, I'm an apothecary, just looking for some medicinal materials. Are you apothecaries? If not, you wouldn't know even if I told you." Kang Shifu said.

The two were relieved. Gu Fei didn't know much about lifestyle professions, only that there were currently five major categories: chef, blacksmith, tailor, apothecary, and alchemist. Chefs make food, blacksmiths produce weapons, tailors make clothes, apothecaries study medicines, and alchemists make staff-like weapons and accessories.

"If you have the chance, you can go to Cloud City to look for it yourself! We two don't understand, so what we say can't be taken as accurate." Gu Fei said.

Kang Shifu nodded, but there was worry on his face: "It seems that Cloud City is not far from here, but I heard that Cloud City is not peaceful, it is very dangerous."

"How is it dangerous?" Gu Fei asked, puzzled.

"I heard that the number one PK maniac in the whole server is from Cloud City. He got 15 PK points in one day, chasing and hacking one person to death inside and outside the city until they dropped eight levels. No one dared to stop him. It's too scary." Kang Shifu said.

Gu Fei could only smile wryly. Xiao Yu was unhappy when she heard this: "What are you talking about? Do you know who he killed? It was a terrible swindler."

Kang Shifu nodded: "I've heard about that too. Damn it, he's so ruthless. This guy must have been scammed badly by that swindler."

Gu Fei was dizzy. How could this have turned into such a meaning after passing through Wulong Mountain Range! It was said that the information in this game should be circulating on online forums and the like! Everyone has a unified place for gossip discussion, how can there be such a big deviation?

Gu Fei just forgot a fact for a moment. At present, although players are divided into different regions due to the different main cities they were born in, the two relationships between people will not be broken because of this. Two friends who know each other enter the game together. It is rare that they are randomly assigned to the same main city, but even if they are separated by ten Wulong Mountain Ranges, it does not prevent them from communicating via short messages. Compared with the information read online, most people will feel that what their friends in Cloud City say is first-hand material. How can things that are spread by word of mouth based on subjective consciousness not be distorted?

Of course, Gu Fei is not the time to argue with people about this at the moment. He had been chatting with this Kang Shifu for a long time, but this person didn't say how to get to Light Village.

"Okay, I'm just looking for herbs anyway. It's the same no matter which way I go, so I'll take you there!" Kang Shifu said generously.

"Thank you so much." Gu Fei said.

The three set off, with Kang Shifu walking in front, bending down from time to time to pull out two herbs. Gradually, it could be seen that the three of them had entered a popular leveling area. The ratio of players to monsters was similar to that of the notorious Yunliao Farm outside Cloud City. But the rules formed by the players here are not the same. Yunliao Farm belongs to the style of scheming under the unspoken rules, while Moonlit City is a very bold and open grab.

Along the way, Gu Fei saw many times players holding bamboo poles with a piece of torn cloth tied on them, with a ghost-like thing painted on the cloth, and then they stuck it on the ground and shouted: "We've booked this area, anyone who comes over will die."

Those who can shout this slogan are numerous and powerful. But even this is not necessarily guaranteed. It is very likely that another more sturdy team will come, and upon seeing that this area is quite fertile, they will step forward, pull the flag away, and throw it aside to show their intention. The two sides immediately confronted each other. Because leveling up is not easy, Gu Fei found that everyone was unwilling to fight to the death, and generally sent a few people out for a one-on-one arena, and they also implemented stopping when enough is enough. In this way, bleeding and level-dropping incidents were much less than in Yunliao Farm.

Of course, this refers to the method used when two groups with strength collide. If you pull someone else's flag alone, it will of course be ugly to die.

Gu Fei noticed that Kang Shifu, who was leading the way in front, had not been active since entering this area. He honestly lowered his head and walked, and even glanced at the NPC monsters in the leveling area, obviously very familiar with this atmosphere. This guy can truly be called a native of Moonlit City.

It wasn't until he was far away from this area that he breathed a sigh of relief. Turning around, he said to the two of them with a look of understanding the local customs: "I forgot to remind you before, I was really afraid that you two would accidentally cause something. Luckily, luckily."

Gu Fei remembered one thing and asked, "If the two of us die here, will the resurrection point be back in Cloud City? Or will we be resurrected near your Moonlit City?"

"I don't know about that." Kang Shifu said, pointing to the front: "There is Light Village."

"Thank you so much." Gu Fei said quickly, "Do you want to go over? I'll buy you a drink?" Gu Fei had already seen from a distance that the first building at the entrance of Light Village was a tavern.

"No, I don't drink." Kang Shifu waved his hand, "I'm leaving, you can look for me if you need anything. Call me when you go back to Cloud City, and I can go with you if possible."

"No problem." After the two added each other as friends, Kang Shifu went to the nearby woods to pull grass again.

Gu Fei and Xiao Yu stepped into Light Village. This village is located in a forest, with a sense of not seeing the sun. It is filled with a strange atmosphere, very much like the birthplace of a great quest chain.

"Xiao Yu, what is your quest?" Gu Fei wanted to solve the simple quest first.

"Find Mr. Adrian and extract a batch of precious gold mines." Xiao Yu announced her quest.

"Oh, then let's do yours first!" Gu Fei said.

Saying that, the two stepped into the tavern. Quests in online games are not much different from single-player RPGs. Taverns have always been a good place to gather information.

"Boss, do you know who Mr. Adrian is?" Xiao Yu asked very skillfully.

"Oh, Mr. Adrian is the richest person in our village. He lives next to the church in the east of the village. That big house is it." The tavern owner said.

"Thank you, boss." Xiao Yu was also very polite to the robot, because the fire in her heart to trigger hidden tasks would never be extinguished.

After Xiao Yu finished asking, Gu Fei immediately followed up and said in a similar manner: "Boss, do you know who Eddie is?"

"Sir, it's been a long journey, why not have a drink to relieve your boredom?"

Gu Fei: "..."

Xiao Yu skillfully pulled Gu Fei away: "He doesn't know."

On the way to the east of the village, Gu Fei asked many passers-by, but still no one paid any attention to him.

What's going on? Gu Fei thought for a while and realized the problem. Eddie's Badge! He put this relic of Eddie's in his pocket and didn't wear it. Maybe this is a part of triggering the task. If he doesn't wear it, the NPC will of course treat him as an ordinary person who talks nonsense.

Thinking, Gu Fei quietly put on the badge. In an instant, Gu Fei suddenly felt countless eyes staring at him. Gu Fei calmed down and walked towards the fifth passerby.

It's getting late...but, I'm still asking for votes. After leaving the new book list, I found that the collection and recommendations are growing slowly, and I am in pain.
