With the system's prompt, Shapeshifter Ji Gang followed the small map and came to the teleportation portal marked "Black Dragon Castle."
"This mission seems to be to find The Black Dragon Merril to receive it. Hmm … there's a friendly reminder? When receiving the mission, you must call him Lord Silver Dragon. Otherwise, there's a chance of failing the mission. "
Shapeshifter Ji Gang was a little confused.
However, although he felt strange, he quickly entered the portal.
The portal flashed with light, and Shapeshifter Ji Gang felt dizzy. When he saw his surroundings clearly again, he found that the scene had changed.
It was no longer the City of Heaven's Chosen, but an ancient castle!
This castle was very tall and seemed to be for the entry of some large creatures. The interior was very spacious, and even the castle gate was more than ten meters high.
When Shapeshifter Ji Gang teleported over, he saw a few well-equipped veteran players barbecuing meat around a bonfire outside the castle. Beside them, there was a cart piled with barbecued meat that was half the height of a person.
So much barbecued meat?
Shapeshifter Ji Gang was stunned.
Noticing the light of the portal, a few veteran players looked over. When they saw Shapeshifter Ji Gang's initial equipment, their eyes lit up.
"Newbie? Third Beta Gamer? "
One of the female players, who was wearing a dazzling, gorgeous magic robe, asked curiously. Above her head were the words "Salty Meow".
Salty Meow? This name is so familiar. I seem to have seen it on the Internet … It's probably another big shot.
Shapeshifter Ji Gang's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly smiled.
"Yes, big shots! That … I'm here to find the Black … Silver Dragon NPC to receive the rearing mission. "
Hearing his words, a few veteran barbecued meat players suddenly understood.
Salty Meow instructed a few players to flip the meat and smiled.
"Then you'll have to wait. Merril went out for a walk. He'll probably be back in a while."
Meal time?
Shapeshifter Ji Gang's expression was strange. He looked at the barbecued meat in the players' hands and guessed in his heart.
Noticing his gaze, Salty Meow smiled.
"We're also doing a mission. It's Merril's personal mission to prepare lunch for him. The reward is not bad. If your barbecuing skills are good, you can receive it when he comes back. "
So that was the case.
Ji Gang nodded.
After doing his homework, Ji Gang knew that there were four types of missions in "Elf Nation":
The most important one was the main storyline quest.
These quests were more or less related to the Goddess Eve. They were randomly triggered as the players continued to explore and develop, and could drive the entire game's story.
Every player who triggered the Main Storyline or Hidden Main Storyline would usually earn a huge sum of money. They would even be summoned by the Goddess and obtain enviable abilities.
Therefore, the main plot quest was the best quest in Elven Nation.
Secondly, there were side quests and daily quests.
These two types of quests usually relied on the main storyline quest and were usually directly issued by the game system. The former could be completed in one go, and the rewards were considerable. The latter, on the other hand, had lesser rewards, but could be repeated.
The Rearing Mission that Shapeshifter Ji had just received was a daily mission.
Then, it was a personal mission.
This was a quest that NPCs issued to players based on their own needs. The bountiful rewards of the quest were related to the rarity of the NPC and the favorability between players and NPCs. Generally speaking, veteran players preferred to find NPCs they were familiar with to accept such quests.
It was said that the rewards of private quests issued by purple-stenciled NPCs were even close to that of main storyline quests!
And these barbecued players were carrying out the personal quests issued by the Black Dragon.
Just as Shapeshifter Ji Gang and a few veteran players started chatting, a dragon's roar came from afar.
"RUA-!"
Accompanied by the violent sound of the wind, a huge shadow shrouded Shapeshifter Ji Gang and the others.
He looked up and saw a behemoth with a wingspan of more than 20 meters pouncing over …
The black scales, the hideous skull armor, and the heart-palpitating Dragon Aura made Shapeshifter Ji Gang's legs tremble and his face turn pale …
The Black Dragon! This was the Black Dragon!
Although he had seen the other party flying in the air in the City of Heaven's Chosen, he had been far away at that time and could not feel anything …
But now that the other party was in front of him, the pressure that the behemoth brought about and the deterrence that came from a superior creature still made Shapeshifter Ji Gang's heart aghast.
Even though he knew that this was a game, the sense of immersion was too strong, and he still felt frightened …
"Hey, hey! Merril! There's a newcomer, you're scaring him! "
Salty Meow shouted at the Black Dragon.
After saying that, she disdainfully fanned the dust stirred up by the Black Dragon's wings with her hand.
"How many times have I told you to stay away from us when you descend? It's all dust … Your barbecued meat is also covered in dust! You're such a big dragon, be more particular! "
Shapeshifter Ji Gang was stunned when he saw the female player talking to the terrifying Black Dragon in a familiar tone.
Then, to his surprise, this hideous and evil Black Dragon did not get angry. Instead, it grinned embarrassedly and revealed a frightening smile.
"Ahem, it's nothing! Be careful in the future! The great Merril doesn't mind a little bit of dust, but … did you put honey in the barbecued meat? "
"Yes, come and eat!"
A few players pushed a cart full of barbecued meat over.
Shapeshifter Ji Gang saw the Black Dragon's eyes light up. Then, like a husky that had seen its owner's food, it instantly pounced on it and began to eat with gusto …
At the same time, a few veteran players took advantage of the time when the Black Dragon was eating barbecued meat to sneak to its side. They used a few large steel brushes to scrub its back while happily picking up some shiny triangular scales on the ground …
Those had fallen off Merril's body.
Some players even dug directly on its body and plucked off shiny dragon scales …
Shapeshifter Ji Gang was speechless …
His eyes widened as he watched.
These players … How could they be so bold?
Of course, he did not know that The Black Dragon Merril had reached a new stage of growth.
During this period of time, the Little Black Dragon's body would continue to grow rapidly. Its body would become bigger, and the old dragon scales would gradually fall off and grow new, bigger and harder dragon scales!
However, only Salty Meow and two northeastern players who were good at barbecuing would dare to touch Merril's dragon scales. Merril would only turn a blind eye to their little tricks.
After all … they had to eat with him.
Salty Meow could provide him with unlimited amounts of the best magical beast meat. The two male players were the best at barbecuing and were the servants that he was most satisfied with!
Anyway … the scales that fell off were useless, so he would just treat it as a reward.
"Oh, right, Merril, this new Chosen One is here to receive a feeding mission from you. You can give it to him later."
Salty Meow said as he happily picked up the scales.
"The new Chosen One? Is the worker finally here? "
The Black Dragon turned its head and looked at Ji Gang the Shapeshifter with its bell-like eyes.
"Oh … cough cough … That's right, Lord Silver Dragon. I'm here to receive a feeding mission."
Ji Gang the Shapeshifter coughed twice and then showed a silly smile …
…
Ji Gang the Shapeshifter successfully received the mission.
According to the mission's instructions, he came to the forest near the Black Dragon's castle and saw a large-scale farm.
There were more than 200 cows and sheep in the farm, and a considerable number of chickens, ducks, and geese.
"Why would the Elves in the game have a farm? Is it for eating? "
Ji Gang the Shapeshifter looked at the farm curiously while collecting fodder, processing the fodder, and feeding the livestock and poultry according to the mission instructions.
While feeding, Ji Gang the Shapeshifter recalled the Black Dragon NPC that he had just seen.
"Although I knew that the NPC system in Elven Nation was very powerful from the game videos, I didn't expect it to be this powerful!"
"Dialogue without any sense of strangeness, simulated expressions and emotions … It feels like they're not just NPCs, but real life. They can communicate, talk … and even become friends with players!"
"No wonder people say that Elven Nation is like a second life. It really lives up to its reputation … A game like this, coupled with the god-like thinking acceleration technology, it's hard not to be popular."
Ji Gang the Shapeshifter sighed.
"I wonder … what's the main mission like? When I watched the video, I felt that the main plot was quite exciting, especially the big scene with the Half-Orcs. It was super exciting … and the goddess' animation was great too. "
"I'm looking forward to it! I really want to level up quickly! "
Thinking of this, Ji Gang the Shapeshifter's heart was full of enthusiasm.
…
Ji Gang the Shapeshifter was not the only new player who chose this mission.
After about an hour, he completed his part of the mission and successfully received his first experience and contribution points since entering the game from the Black Dragon.
Of course, the contribution points could not be used at the moment because players would only be able to officially activate the exchange system when they reached Level 11.
This also meant that before new players reached Level 11, they would either have to join the boss team of the old players and spend money to become stronger, or they could only obediently complete missions.
It was said that when the game first opened, there were many magical beasts near the safe zone that were suitable for new players to level up.
Unfortunately, other than the Shadow Instance Dungeon, the other monsters in Elven Nation basically did not respawn. The magical beasts in the core area were all killed by the old players.
The game guide said that there were many magical beasts further north, but it was very dangerous there. Not to mention new players, even the old players could fail …
Therefore, for normal new players, before reaching Level 11 and reaching the minimum level to go to the Underworld and the Shadow Instance Dungeon, they could only rely on missions to level up.
The good thing was that the game's missions gave a considerable amount of experience. Ji Gang the Shapeshifter had successfully reached Level 2 with just one feeding mission.
However, the daily missions in Elven Nation were still not quite what he had imagined …
Many of the daily missions did not have much of a storyline. They just had to do some work, and it was quite time-consuming and energy-consuming. For example, feeding livestock, collecting wood, transporting goods, moving bricks, and so on …
"Why … do I feel like I'm doing manual labor in the game?"
After completing the feeding mission, Ji Gang the Shapeshifter returned to the farmland near the City of Heaven's Chosen to do the sowing mission. He looked at the crop seeds in his hands and fell into deep thought …
