Chapter 89 88.Munchkins, you have to learn to be grateful, understand? [2860]

(For brother ‘Huo整挺好'[13/20】)
Grieving spirits are traditionally called “ghosts”.

They are tormented by the despair and pain of dying and cannot rest in peace, but they desire to rest in peace.

This conflict in the form of existence makes these spirits hostile to all living things from the moment they are born, and viciously long for new souls to join them and experience the same pain as they do.

Spirits are difficult to deal with.

They have no physical substance, and bullets and swords can hardly harm them, unless they use psychic energy or fire. For the more advanced ones, the ghostly spirits that retained all their intelligence but still hated the living, flames were hardly even effective.

Another threat to the Grievers is that these things never show up alone.

They are born in the ruins of massacres or in old, decaying catacombs, and when they do appear, they do so in large groups, meaning you’ll have to deal with at least 20 of them at a time.

The smell of the dead in such numbers alone can cover the ground with an ominous white frost, and their whistling is so powerful that it would make a veteran of the human race tremble.

However, Murphy is a vampire!
Whether it is in the “Dark Creature Power Ranking”, “Evil Spirit Popularity Ranking” and “Most Disliked by Other Beings”, this race is ranked higher than the The Grievous Spirits were much higher than them.

As the famous saying goes!

Even between evil and evil, there is a difference between high and low.

It was dawn when Murphy and Maxim burrowed out of the sewers, and the ash-filled streets were even filled with industrious little players walking around scavenging.

And in front of Murphy, who poked his head out of the sewer, stood the dumbfounded Sister Garnet.

Seeing her expression, it is clear that Murphy’s “God’s appearance” in this place has caused a small psychological shadow to this very elegant girl, it seems that even a vampire as handsome as Lord Murphy is not always handsome twenty-four hours a day.

Can he also drill in the sewers?

Wait a minute!

If even Lord Murphy can drill sewers, doesn’t that mean there must be a lot of good places in the underground area that are worth scavenging?
Sister Pomegranate’s eyes lit up.

She instantly felt that her smart and beautiful self had discovered another unbelievable hidden clue.

“Ahem.”

Seeing Sister Pomegranate’s expression, Murphy knew what this little player was thinking.

He climbed out with a handsome gesture, patting the dust on his body again calling a wind of dark psychic energy to surround him and Maxim to dissipate the bad smell on his body.

Only then did he open his mouth to address Sister Garnet, who was carrying a burlap sack in front of him, ready to start her daily scavenging:

“I have just conducted a reconnaissance of the city’s sewer system, and my beautiful warrior, things are not looking good! The ebbing of the shadows of the Astral Plane means that new dangers are surfacing, and on a normal day I would surely ask you brave ones to help my people with those hidden dangers of the darkness, but this is not the time.

You will need further practice before you can adapt to a more dangerous situation, and right now I ask that you travel immediately to the witch hunters’ camp to be trained and tested by them.”

As he said that, Murphy rummaged through his psychic energy bag and took out a pen and paper to swish and write down a line, handing it to Sister Pomegranate, saying meaningfully:

“You are one of the few warriors I value the most, your precious time shouldn’t be wasted in the exploration of the ruins, go, Ms. Pomegranate, and create a miracle that belongs to you.”

With that said, Murphy led Maxim away in the dawn’s morning light, successfully taking Ms. Pomegranate’s attention away from the small matter of the sewer he had just drilled.

While Sister Pomegranate was squeezing the “letter of introduction” in her hand, she was staring wide-eyed at the quest she had just triggered in front of her eyes:
[Hidden Quest – ‘Lord Murphy’s Favor’ has been triggered!

Quest Description: It seems that your outstanding performance has attracted the attention of Lord Murphy, who has recognized you as a potential Braveheart and has personally written a letter of recommendation for you, so hurry up and report to the Witch Hunter camp.

Tip!

With Murphy’s Letter of Recommendation, you can skip the apprenticeship test at the Witch Hunters’ Camp and ask the mighty White Knight Finok Lawson for advice.

Quest Objective: Trigger the Trial of Power – Black Iron Body in the shortest possible time (15 days), so that you do not fail Lord Murphy.

Quest Reward: Kademan Self-Rescue Army reputation, Blood Vulture Clan reputation, Survivor Camp reputation, and favor from Lord Murphy].

“???”

Sister Pomegranate was confused.

Didn’t those old players say that hidden quests were hard to trigger? Why did she trigger three in a row in less than five days after entering the game? Was it because other people’s faces were too dark?

“Little Pomegranate, where are you? My two friends and I are already online, we’re on the Ruins Defense Line, should we go find you?”

Just as Pomegranate was about to leave, her player interface communication suddenly lit up followed by a cheerful text from Lumina.

Because she had to pick up a new friend to play with today, this poor little one who had to stay up all night because of the time difference also uncharacteristically went online during the day.

“I’ll come to you guys.”

Pomegranate Sister still thought highly of her smart new friend.

She turned and ran towards the defense line with light footsteps, and messaged Lumina again, saying:

“O even Garry Gong, I just saw Lord Murphy and Maxim crawling out of the sewers, then he sent me a hidden quest to avoid embarrassment!
Gee whiz, what a hopelessly prideful thing for men to do.”

“???? Isn’t it ‘Murphy-sama’s favor’?”

Lumina immediately replied:

“You received this quest too? I just popped it up online and asked in the group as well, it’s not just you and me, all 16 veteran players from the first batch of the beta test did, but you seem to be the only one in the second batch so far.

But Lord Murphy climbing sewers or something, you confirm? Would such a handsome and elegant NPC do such a thing? Don’t you lie to me!”

“No way, I secretly took pictures!”

Sister Pomegranate sent a wicked smile emoticon and said:
“I’ll post it on the forum in a while!”

“Snap.”

Murphy, who would have already returned to the side of the defense line, crushed the apple in his hand with a gloomy face.

Peering at the screen he obviously saw the chat between Sister Pomegranate and Lumina, then took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped his hands and fumbled out a small black leather notebook again.

“Sending me black material right?”

Lord Murphy narrowed his eyes and said viciously in his mind:
“I advise you to be kind, little pomegranate! If I do see that damn picture on the forums, prepare to become a member of the ‘Mafia’!”

On the other hand, below the defense line of Cadman City, this area had completely become a safe zone.

Not only was there Lady Tris’s alchemy hut, but there was also a supply point from the survivor camp, several blacksmiths and tailors had been sent here by Miriam, specifically to provide equipment repairs and supplies for the Kademan self-help army and Lord Murphy’s warriors who were operating in the ruins of the city.

Because the players had scavenged a lot of money in the ruins and had no place to spend it, they really had no concept of money, so the “NPCs” who were sent here were all making a lot of money.

The attitude of the small players is naturally quite warm, even if you don’t understand their words, it doesn’t matter, ordinary transactions can be done with hand gestures.

“Wow, the flavor of this apple is exactly the same as in reality, and what’s with the crunchy texture? Wooooooo, I feel like I’ve really traveled!
A childhood dream actually came true in this way ah!

Mom and Dad, I’m not going back to boring reality!”

Beside Lumina, a short girl in a novice outfit was holding a few apples and chewing on them.

She had a cute round face and a neutral single ponytail, and was bouncy and energetic, but she was just atrociously short, probably the shortest of all the current players.

155 at most. She was one of the two people in Lumina’s private social group who had been lucky enough to win a spot in the beta test, “Reed’s Name Swordswoman”, and just by her name, she knew she was good with a gun.

Beside her was a tall girl with particularly long legs.

Face than Lumina and Vikrama are much taller, at least in 178 or so, and stride to the pomegranate sister are about the same height, compared to full of vitality is still feeling the game of real Vikrama, the big traveler “fatal orchid” is obviously a lot more stable.

While observing the various fruits in the baskets placed by the NPCs in front of her, she also observed the overly delicate facial expressions of the NPCs around her.

Finally, she laid her eyes on the wreckage of Cadman City, which was covered by sunlight because the shadow of the Star Realm had faded.

“Typical medieval style, with the castle as the center extending outward to different functional areas, the towering walls are to prevent foreign invasion as well as to better protect the lord’s property. The lower part of the city housed the commoners and stores, while the upper part of the city was structured into different residential areas based on the hierarchy of power.
It looks exactly like some of the ruins in Europe.

No, it’s a bit more logical here!
Damn it!

Why isn’t there a camera!
That’s enough pictures to take out for me to turn in several times.”

Orchid mumbled something to herself, causing the Vikrama girl next to her, who had finished nibbling on her apple and picked up another handful of malts, to roll her eyes and say that the traveler’s occupational hazard had struck again.

“Yo, two new friends, howdy!”

Garnet ran quickly, rushing up to take Lumina in her arms first and rubbing her long smooth hair fiercely, and then greeting her other two new friends as the latter squealed.

The gathering of the four girls rightfully attracted the attention of the other eighteen people in the group that had entered the game, but no one came up to strike up a conversation.

This wasn’t reality, and there was no rush to pick up girls or anything.

This time, Murphy put into the game of 20 people, still adopted the “internal recommendation”.

However, unlike the last time, Murphy did not put the recommendation quota of those old players into the game this time.

They now had a tendency to embrace the group, although appropriate healthy competition was a good thing, but right now Murphy had to deal with the issue of the Blood Vulture Cloister, and could not let the small players waste time on jealousy.

“Are you Little Pomegranate?”

Orchid up-sized Sister Pomegranate, finally resting her gaze on the latter’s bulging chest, and spat out in a low voice:
“Where’s the smallness in that?”

“Yo, how are you, Little Pomegranate, my name is . Ahem, you can’t use your real name in the game, well, you can just call me Reed Name.”

The short girl was a self-taught person, immediately reaching out to shake hands with Sister Pomegranate, but her 155 height had to tilt her head up to see Sister Pomegranate’s pretty face, which made her quite a bit irritated.

As a result, the next second, Sister Garnet let go of Lumina and hugged Vikrama and mentioned her in mid-air startling her and kicking her legs in the air.

“Wow, this little sister is so cute.”

Garnet said with wide eyes:

“Is it true that the smarter the brain grows the prettier the face? The same strange pupil color as a doll, hey cutie, you’re a hybrid, right?”

“Put me down! You strange big strong woman!”

Vikrama shouted fiercely, causing Garnet to shrug and put her down, and Lumina beside her immediately explained:

“Vikina’s family is settled in the country right now, but don’t underestimate her, the guy’s really good with a gun, probably because her mother has Texan blood and the family really owns a farm, so in any case, the family schooling belongs to yes.”

“Pfft.”

Hiding behind Lumina, Vikina squeezed her eyes and aimed her finger at Sister Garnet making a shooting motion and mimicking the sound, a quirky character that pleased Sister Garnet even more.

This was the kind of teammate she wanted.

“What about this one? No introduction?”

Sister Pomegranate looked at Orchid Flower again.

This one didn’t need to be introduced by Lumina, she extended her hand to Sister Pomegranate with a big smile:
“Just call me Orchid, I’m a photographer, I hear you want to join our little group? I have no problem with that, and I don’t think anyone else does either, we’re all eager to have fresh blood join us, but Sister Cement really isn’t a nice person to talk to.

She’s the leader of the group and has no plans to enter the game at the moment.”

“Wow, there’s an interview?”

Garnet scratched her head and said:
“Why don’t I fly over to you guys? It’s pretty easy to take time off for this new job.”

“Can’t come ow.”

Vikrama said, waving her hand in a serious manner:

“Orchid’s traveling in Antarctica, Mom and Dad won’t allow me to meet with strange people, and as for Cement, if you go to her place you won’t get out.

Although it’s only peripheral research, it’s really in a military restricted area ow~”

“Yeah, now the seven people in the group you can meet is me.”

Lumina said with a sigh:

“I’m the most wasted out of the seven, each and every one of these guys are crouching tigers and hidden dragons, even the self-proclaimed ‘perfect housewife’, Mrs. Shui, who goes out to buy groceries has at least two bodyguards following her.

Alas, marrying into a rich family is different!
Everyone is the same smart person, why is the gap in life so big!”

“Not at all!”

Vikrama clasped her arms in disdain and spat:

“We’re not as dumb as you, the average IQ of all five of us is 10 points higher than yours! If you count Cement-san that’s 15 points!”

“Hey, you little doujin are really going overboard the more you say ow!”

Lumina clenched her fist and whacked Vikrama on the side of the head, causing her to jump with an ow of pain, and Sister Pomegranate laughed heartily as she led the trio towards the witch hunter camp.

In front of the defense line, the two guys, Kakitonitai and Mud to Luta Oil, were giving the newcomers a “lecture”, in fact, they had received a “newcomers into the ranks” task from Ms. Miriam, asking them to complete the guidance for the newcomers.

“I said, you guys should be grateful, understand?”

Dressed in a cool veteran’s armor, Khakitonitai carried his double-bladed psychic energy axe on his back, and looked like an elite, as he shouted to the 18 small players surrounding him in front of him:
“The newbie village you see, the arithmetic pearl you’re about to get which is the player interface, and even the new occupation system you’ll learn when you first enter the game, all of them have been painstakingly livered out for you by us old-timers in a handful of shits and pisses!
Why don’t you hurry up and say thank you seniors?”

“Hey, the more you talk, the more outrageous it gets, don’t say such disgusting things.”

The Mud to Luda Oil next to him only thought of hurrying to complete this quest so that he could go and sneak around the Witch Hunter’s camp.

It was rumored that there was a large amount of “90% new equipment for witch hunters’ own use” for sale over there.

Seeing that the talkative Kakitoni was about to turn into Morishita-senpai on the spot, he immediately interrupted him and said with a smile on his face to the new players who were curious about everything they saw in front of him:

“Come on, one person first take a burlap pocket, go around the ruins and pick up trash, then go to Mudhead at the survivor camp and exchange it for initial startup funds.

You’ll know everything after this walk around, ugh ugh ugh ugh! Don’t touch me!
You’re a man, I’m a man! And for the record, I don’t like men!”

“No, I just see that your weapon is so handsome, and it also glows, brother, can I touch your weapon?”

“Can’t! It’s something I traded my life for, and you’re not allowed to touch the armor! That one over there! Don’t take off your pants, damn it! If the NPCs see you, you’ll be fined!

New players, you don’t want to be sent out to sweep the streets because of debt right after you enter the game, do you?”
