Walking a little further along the road, Li Huailin found that he should have reached his destination, because he actually saw a house. To be honest, when Li Huailin first heard about the Cyclops, he thought the creature lived in a cave. However, there was a row of houses in front of him. Although they were simple, they were livable.
The structure of the house was very simple, and it was basically made of stone. Li Huailin could feel the difference in size between the house and himself before he even walked in. Sure enough, the word "giant" in the name of a cyclops meant that he was much bigger than a human.
Sure enough, Li Huailin saw the first Cyclops after taking a few steps. To be honest, when Li Huailin saw the Cyclops, he thought that it looked like a Titan. It was about four to five meters tall, and its body was abnormally muscular. Looking at the ratio of its muscles, Li Huailin estimated that it weighed more than a ton. Of course, the most obvious feature of the Cyclops was the eye on its head. It looked like it had grown an eye on its nose. It was very strange.
The Cyclops appeared in front of Li Huailin on the right. It was carrying two large trees on its shoulders. It seemed to be working. Li Huailin looked at the Cyclops' name. It was Byber, and it was yellow. This meant that it was a neutral creature. It would not actively attack humans.
"Ah … Human?" The Cyclops seemed a little strange when it saw Li Huailin. It walked towards Li Huailin while carrying two large trees. It didn't take long for it to stand in front of Li Huailin. "Are … are you here to deliver food? Byber is hungry …"
Li Huailin didn't have any food in his bag. In the game, food was an item to increase the recovery speed of ordinary players. It was used to solve the problem of recovering health. Li Huailin didn't need it. Just as he was about to explain to the Cyclops, another Cyclops noticed the situation and walked over.
"Human … That's strange … It's not the opening time yet." This Cyclops was wearing an animal skin coat. It was obviously much better than Byber. Byber was only wearing an animal skin pant skirt. It was almost winter, so this outfit looked a little cold. This Cyclops' status was obviously higher than Byber. Li Huailin looked at the Cyclops' name. It was Forgan.
"I'm an adventurer who came here to do a quest." Li Huailin explained. Li Huailin was really here to do a quest, and he was serious about it. Why? This was because Li Huailin wanted the Cyclopes to attack him. He had calculated that this place wasn't too far from the main city. He had spent more than ten minutes to get here, but in reality, it shouldn't have taken that long. Firstly, it took him some time to talk to the guards. Secondly, he had walked here. If he rode Little Mi to level up, his speed would definitely be twice as fast. In this case, it should have taken him about three to four minutes to reach this place. The Cyclopes' attack power was very high, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to hit him. They could level up dozens of times here.
However, the Cyclops was a Neutral monster. How could he make them attack him? Normally, if a player took the initiative to attack a neutral monster, the other party would naturally retaliate. However, Li Huailin was clearly unable to do so. If he took the initiative to attack, these Cyclopes would obviously be grateful. Hence, Li Huailin could only take the initiative to increase their Favorability. If he wanted to increase their Favorability, he could only do so by completing Quests.
"Quest? What's that? Patriarch? "Byber turned to Forgan and asked curiously.
"In any case, I'm here to help." Forgan thought for a moment, then said, "Indeed, we've been very busy recently. You can see that most of the clansmen have gone up the mountain to hunt for food for the winter. If you want to help, go up the mountain and hunt for food for us."
System Notification: Cyclops Village Chief Forgan has issued an E-rank Quest: Collect Food. Do you accept?
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded.
D-rank Quest: Collect Food.
Quest Objective: Kill 100 nearby wild beasts and bring back their corpses.
Quest Reward: 3,000 experience, 20 silver, 30 Reputation Points.
"So it's really this kind of quest …" Li Huailin guessed that this quest was a scam when he saw the quest's level and name. It was indeed like this. Killing 100 monsters on the mountain only gave him 3000 experience. It was really tiring for normal people to level up and do quests.
"Alright, no problem. I'll go do it now." However, Li Huailin was here to gain favorability. He didn't care if the quest was a scam or not.
"That's great, human. If you can help us, we will definitely be grateful to you," Chief Forgan said.
"Thank my ass. I want you to beat me to death," Li Huailin said.
After accepting the quest, Li Huailin didn't rush up the mountain. Instead, he continued to stroll around the village. According to his experience in online games, he would try talking to the villagers to see if he could receive another quest. This way, it would be more efficient. Speaking of which, this was the first time Li Huailin had used his experience in online games to play. It felt quite special.
After walking around the village, he discovered that there were around 45 households. Just as Forgan had said, most of the villagers had gone to work in the nearby mountains. There weren't many left in the village. They were mostly the old, the weak, the women, and the children. After chatting with them for a while, Li Huailin discovered that these Cyclops had low intelligence. They were at the level of a mentally retarded human. Apart from the Chief who spoke clearly, the others couldn't even speak clearly.
Even so, Li Huailin still received a few quests. One of them was an E-rank Quest: Help a female Cyclops deliver food to her lumberjack husband. E-rank Quest: Help a female Cyclops buy needles and thread for weaving. There was also a C-rank Quest.
This C-rank Quest was given to Li Huailin by an injured Cyclops. He said that he had been looking for food in the mountains yesterday and found a huge bear. The Cyclops had been ambushed and bitten in the foot by the bear. He couldn't work now, so he hoped that Li Huailin would avenge him. Li Huailin guessed that the bear was a mini-boss, which was why it was a C-rank Quest.
After talking to everyone, Li Huailin received a total of four quests. After making sure that he didn't miss anything, Li Huailin followed the quest instructions and began to complete the quests.
While Li Huailin was doing his quests, Sebacary City heard the news of Archduke Aquitaine's visit and was shocked.
"Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" Kamaken, the mayor, asked Captain Rakrael, who came to report.
"I'm sure, Mayor. How could I be wrong?" Rakrael immediately said.
"This … Why would Archduke Aquitaine come to a small city like ours … Is it just to see the Cyclops?" Kamaken was a little worried because the Duke of Aquitaine was too dangerous. He was the kind who would kill an entire family at the drop of a hat. Now that he was in his own territory, he would be done for if he wasn't careful.
"I think the Duke of Aquitaine is really interested in the Cyclops," Rakrael said. "Mayor, should we go pay him a visit?"
"Idiot, the Duke of Aquitaine said that he doesn't want to be disturbed. He told you not to let anyone in. Isn't it because he wants to do things alone? If we go and bother him now, we might be exterminated. Don't go. " Kamaken thought for a moment and said, "Send more troops to guard that place and send some smart people to take a look inside. If the Duke does anything, come back and report to me immediately. Don't do anything else."
"Yes, Mayor." Rakrael immediately nodded.
Just like that, after two peaceful hours, Li Huailin completed the four quests. Then, he immediately discovered that he had been tricked.
The four quests were actually very simple. The first was the food delivery quest. It took him a total of 10 minutes to find the quest target on the mountain. Then, it was the monster killing quest. The monsters on the mountain were basically wild beasts. They were around Level 25. Although Li Huailin wore a three-piece cloth set, he could kill one in three hits. The only problem was that the number of monsters he needed to kill was relatively high, so it took him a little more time. Then, it was time to find the Bear Boss. However, in the end, he still found it. It was a Level 28 Boss. However, although it was a Boss, its level was too low. When it attacked Li Huailin, it only lost 30-40 HP. It was not a threat at all. Moreover, when Li Huailin summoned Millet, the Bear was so scared that it lay on the ground, not daring to move. After that, Li Huailin returned to the city and found a needle and thread in the grocery store. All four quests were completed.
However, when he turned in the quests, Li Huailin discovered that he had been tricked. After turning in the two E-rank quests, not only did he lose experience and money, but he also lost two Favorability points from the two Cyclopes that issued the quests. As for the D-rank quest, the entire village's Favorability with the Cyclopes was deducted by one point. As for the C-rank quest, the entire village's Favorability with the Cyclopes was deducted by three points.
Li Huailin spent two hours completing four quests, and in the end, his Favorability only increased by four points. Wasn't this too much of a scam? In fact, Li Huailin didn't know that the increase in Favorability was already considered fast. In fact, even if the Cyclopes' Favorability with the Cyclopes was very high, there was no reward. That was why the Favorability of the Cyclopes increased so quickly. If it were anywhere else, these quests wouldn't even affect the Favorability of the Cyclopes.
However, what Li Huailin cared about the most wasn't the speed of the Favorability increase. In fact, it had been a long time since he had played the game normally. The quests that Li Huailin completed were quite interesting. It didn't matter if he dragged it out a little longer. However, the real problem was that he realized that his plan couldn't be carried out.
