Zhang Xiaoming looked at the task list carefully. There were mostly errand-type tasks, and there were very few tasks that required combat.

Xiao Ming decided to carefully run through the map in the village and do whatever tasks he could.

I walked around the small village, found out the locations of many important NPCs and functional buildings, and completed most of the tasks along the way.

First, at the training ground, Xiao Ming arranged for Infantry A to swing his sword 120 times to complete the mercenary training mission.

During this period, I had a conversation with the archer coach and sold the bows and arrows I made with my superpowers that can only be used by archer mercenaries to the archer coach.

Get 1 gold, 5 silver and copper coins and a book of archery tips written by the coach.

(The hiring fee for level 0 trainee mercenaries is 1 gold coin, and the salary is 10 copper coins per day. 1 gold = 100 silver = 10,000 copper.)

On the roadside, I chatted with a naughty boy and used archeology to discover that the small stone the child was playing with was a damaged seal of an ancient person. I bought it for one silver coin.

I bought some various materials, medicines, and supplies at the grocery store. Then I went back to the inn and confirmed another of my conjectures. When the corresponding materials are available, the consumption of using super powers to create or strengthen items is greatly reduced.

There are some missing materials in the backpack, but there are more than ten items of various kinds. The most important thing is to make a crossbow for himself. Now Xiao Ming has strengthened and made it, and the backpack space has reached more than 50 cells.

An idea flashed in his mind, and he used superpowers and some stones to strengthen the damaged seal, and actually repaired it.

With the skills of identification and erudition, Xiao Ming learned that this was the private seal of a Lord of the Crusaders of Light who died here more than a hundred years ago.

Equipped in the inventory, it will increase the charm of light and crusader NPCs a little.

Go to the square and open the personal warehouse. There are many players setting up stalls in the square, selling all the equipment they don't need to a player named Datang bbq.

You get 6 gold coins and a copy of the priest skill "Light Ball Technique". Unfortunately, you need a first-level official priest to learn it.

Datang bbq guessed that the explorer was a senior executive of a certain studio, and even had a surplus of equipment. He chased Zhang Xiaoming and added each other as friends. He said that he must give priority to selling things to the Datang Guild in the future.

(By the way, the game system does not recognize player guilds. After players reach level 2 and become heroes, they can establish similar organizations: adventure groups, chambers of commerce, etc. Now those who call themselves guilds are just players’ internal titles.)

I wandered around the square for a while and bought some materials. I couldn't find anything good.

Xiao Ming went to the temple again. He wanted to complete the temple prayer mission, which is a blue mission.

Blue and above tasks begin to have differences in completion.

There are two ways to complete the prayer task, either praying in front of the statue of light for enough time, or praying in blue for 40 minutes.

Or donate money instead, 5 silver coins per minute. Xiao Ming tried to donate a seal and completed the task with excellent results.

Except for experience, the friendliness of the Temple of Light is 10 and the friendliness of the Crusaders is 15.

I did a few more tasks of delivering letters, looking for pets, and buying things on behalf of others.

A special mission was triggered on the way. I saw the village chief's son at the village chief's house and bought a young wolf skin from him at a high price.

After strengthening it into high-quality young wolf skin, go to the tailor shop and trigger Liu Xiaomei's skill upgrade task.

Liu Xiaomei is trying to be a high-level tailor. She only needs to make a mask to successfully upgrade. In fact, she needs two wolf pelts and needs to be made twice to succeed.

The other piece has to be taken to the wild and dropped by the young wolves in the wolf pack, which is quite difficult. And only one piece dropped before Liu Xiaomei upgraded.

Because Zhang Xiaoming provided high-quality wolf pelts, Liu Xiaomei succeeded in the first attempt. The task was completed. In addition to experience and money, Xiao Ming was also rewarded with a special equipment "mask".

There is also Liu Xiaomei's favorability +30. The advantage is that Xiao Ming can buy some equipment made by high-end tailors from Liu Xiaomei. Xiao Ming bought a simple marching tent.

Didn't she just upgrade it today? When did she make the advanced equipment?

The marching tent is a high-level adventure equipment that forms a temporary safe area when used until its durability is exhausted.

Resting inside can help you recover quickly. You can also carry with you a reserve force equal to the number that the player can hire.

Of course, Xiao Ming strengthened it, and its functions were improved in all aspects. It can store twice as many reserve troops.

At this time, other players still have to hire new soldiers to replenish their soldiers once their soldiers die, or endure a state of dissatisfaction with their combat power.

After this round, there are only two unfinished tasks, one blue and one purple, in the task list. The completed tasks have been settled.

Trainee priest Zhang Xiaoming has reached level 6, with more than 10 gold coins. Infantryman A has also reached level 3. (The upgrade of mercenaries is different from that of players, and the upgrade route is set.)

The two tasks that have not yet been completed are:

Blue mission "Expelling Wild Boars": Li Erbo, a lumberjack in the lumber factory outside the village, is constantly harassed by a nest of wild boars and asks for your help.

Purple mission "Han Mu's Troubles": Aunt Han is selling swords in the square, please solve her troubles.

Aunt Han and Xiao Ming had seen it a long time ago. Because it was a purple mission, Xiao Ming has kept it until now.

Purple tasks are unique. Except for Xiao Ming who takes the task, other players cannot interact with Aunt Han. Only after Xiao Ming fails can other players receive this task.

"Aunt Han, are you selling this sword? How much does it cost?"

"Is it an explorer? Sell it for 10 gold coins."

"It's so expensive! Can you sell it? It's rusted like this." Xiao Ming picked up the sword and looked at it carefully. It was a big sword, but most of it was rusty.

Xiao Ming can get 10 gold coins, but the task may be settled with a low completion rate. Obviously there are other solutions. And Xiao Ming is reluctant to part with the 10 gold coins.

Huh? Isn't this the mark of the God of Light? Xiao Ming found that there seemed to be a broken mark of the God of Light on the hilt of the big sword. Thinking of the Crusader seal, he quickly used an archeology technique.

The system prompts: "Congratulations on obtaining the Crusader skill mark "Two consecutive cuts"." Now there are clues.

"Aunt Han, could this sword be the sword of the Crusader of Light who died here a hundred years ago?" Xiao Ming asked tentatively.

When the aunt's eyes turned red, she couldn't stop talking. Things were the same as before.

A hundred years ago, a leader of the Light Crusaders named Han Qinlong died in battle here. He left his posthumous son to settle in the village. Aunt Han is Han Qinlong’s grandson-in-law.

The ancestors died in the war, the family fell into decline, and everything went wrong. Now only Aunt Han and her grandson Han Dong are left to depend on each other.

Han Dong has a dream of becoming a swordsman. Aunt Han was happy but also had a headache. She really had no money. So she had no choice but to sell her grandfather's weapons and send her grandson to the town to become his apprentice.

After Aunt Han finished talking about old things, the system prompted the player to choose:

1. Take out 10 gold coins to buy the big sword. The task is completed. Completion level: ordinary.

2. Give 10 gold coins to Aunt Han, but no big sword. The task is completed. Completion level: ordinary. If Han Dong is promoted to a second-level swordsman in the future, he will repay the player.

3. Express your willingness to train Han Dong to become a talent for free. Daily tasks are completed. No rewards. And start the large-scale task chain "Han Dong's Road to the Crusade".

There is no doubt about choosing the third option.

Aunt Han left and soon came to Zhang Xiaoming with a child in tattered armor.
