Chapter 42 Opening the Treasure Chest

At this time, a skeleton warrior next to him wanted to avoid the rusty sword that was slashing at him, so he took a step back without even thinking about it. As a result, it unexpectedly bumped into the back of the skeleton player and pushed the opponent's ass. The skeleton player didn't stand still at all, and slowly took two steps forward, and came to the place where the arrow was aiming.

This diamond arrow just passed through the player's body and shattered his undead soul.At this time, the skeleton player was stunned, Pu Haolong was also stunned, all the skeletons were stunned, no one spoke, they all looked at stupidly.

"I, it's impossible." The skeleton player covered his slowly dissipating soul of the undead and looked at Pu Haolong stupidly.

"I'm sorry, I thought I was going to die, but I didn't expect you to hit the Vajra Arrow by mistake." Pu Haolong spread his hands and looked at the player in front of him helplessly. He didn't expect a turnaround So fast, he was still preparing for the mission to fail, but the skeleton player on the opposite side unexpectedly encountered the diamond arrow himself, smashing the undead soul like this.

Before dying, the skeleton player looked at Pu Haolong in great depression, and fell to the ground helplessly. The surrounding skeletons, without the support of their owners, fell to the ground, and scattered on the ground into a pile of bones. Looking at it, Pu Haolong shook his head and left without saying anything.

As for the skeletons that he had betrayed before, all of them were wiped out by the skeleton players. Now he does not have a single skeleton soldier, and he is completely the only person in this room.

Shaking his head, he returned to the territory of the artificial intelligence old man again. The old man said sternly: "Boy, do you know that if you were not lucky today, that skeleton warrior squeezed the opponent, you would have died."

"Well, I know, Boss, I don't want to do this either. I didn't expect that the arrow I shot before was missed, which resulted in such a result. By the way, the skeleton warrior happened to hit the arrow." Skeleton player, do you know what's going on?"

"What? I don't know. You have to remember that this time is caused by your lack of skill. Remember to practice your archery skills next time. I hope that your boy will help me complete the task better. Don't hang up on me halfway."

Pu Haolong nodded seriously. It was because he was not good at learning, otherwise he would not have such a result. He said embarrassedly: "Boss, if there is nothing else, I will go to build my territory."

"Wait, why are you so anxious, although I am not very satisfied with the tasks you have completed this time, but you usually make me happy, so this month's salary will be used as the welfare of your territory, you Remember to get it when you go back." The artificial intelligence old man smiled and waved Pu Haolong down.

Pu Haolong happily returned to his Blue Sky Village. He didn't expect that the old man would actually pay him this month, but he didn't know what good things he had. Pu Haolong was looking forward to what the old man gave him.

At this time, Fei Erbai knocked on the door of Pu Haolong's room. Pu Haolong coughed and let him in.

"Lord, I want to congratulate you. There is a group of about 20 peasant refugees who want to join our Lantian Village. I wonder if you agree?" Fei Erbai looked at Pu Haolong with joy.

Pu Haolong didn't expect that the old man mentioned these farmers, but he should thank the boss. With these farmers, the population of the village can finally increase. At the same time, the buildings in the territory can also start to develop, and finally his own territory can start a new life. expanded.

"You can handle these things as you see fit. For example, the development of the territory, you should take care of it. If I'm not here, you will always have the final say." Pu Haolong nodded happily, his human name I can't come here often, it's more reassuring to leave everything to Fei Erbai in front of me.

Fei Erbai knelt down excitedly, and said: "Thank you Lord Lord for your trust in the villain. There is nothing I can do to repay the old man, and I can only serve him to death."

At the same time, Pu Haolong heard the system prompt: Congratulations to the player for getting the allegiance of the first NPC, with a loyalty of 100, and Lantian Village has been awarded the title of Village of Loyalty. Increase the loyalty of the villagers in the territory, congratulations to the player.

Pu Haolong did not expect that he would be the first player to kill an NPC. You must know that NPCs have extremely high intelligence in Chessboard Continent. NPCs who have reached the level of death will not rebel anyway. If the loyalty is lower than 60, there is a high possibility of defection.

"Please hurry up, it is my greatest honor to have a loyal hero like you."

With Pu Haolong's support, Fei Erbai stood up, and continued, "By the way, Lord Lord, there are still ten spearmen I hope you can accept them."

"Really? Take me to have a look." Pu Haolong stood up excitedly. Although these spearmen are only the simplest first-level troops in the human castle, who told him that he hasn't even built a watchtower yet, so he can fight in his own What a joy it is to have soldiers of your own under your hands.

Fei Erbai can also understand why the lord in front of him is so excited. After all, the territory will face the invasion of thieves in two days. Now with these soldiers, at least the village can maintain a certain degree of defense. At present, the specific identity of those thieves is not known. How about their strength? It seems that I have to investigate the strength of these thieves.

Pu Haolong followed to the gate of the village, and saw ten farmers and ten gunmen standing together. Although they said they were fleeing, Pu Haolong took a closer look. The farmers and gunmen in front of him were stronger than each other. of.

Pu Haolong was very happy to ask Fei Erbai to arrange the peasants' accommodation. At the same time, because of the new spearmen, he also asked the peasants to build a barracks, so as to temporarily arrange the accommodation of these spearmen.

What excites Pu Haolong the most is that these spearmen who join the territory are equipped with weapons in their hands and wear leather armor. They are the most suitable soldiers for the battlefield.

After the watchtower is built in the territory, if you want to recruit spearmen, you must first recruit some farmers, undergo a week of training in the watchtower, and then equip them with the equipment made in the territory before they will be recognized by the system. Otherwise, they will be recognized by the system. If not, what comes out is a trained militia, with no combat effectiveness at all.

Pu Haolong looked at all this happily, and finally took the first step by himself. As long as he can resist the robbers' attack in two days, then his village can start to be built.

Seeing the new farmers and the farmers in the village working hard to build houses, Pu Haolong also happily joined in.Although he couldn't do anything to build the house, and Fei Erbai didn't let him participate, Pu Haolong helped everyone with various building materials, and the village was full of prosperity.

There is a big gap between the construction in "Chessboard Continent" and reality. After all, it is a strategy game, not a construction game, so it only costs less than three to build a simple thatched hut for farmers. hours of time.

It took more time to build the barracks for the spearmen to live in. It took five hours in total. During this time, seeing the long construction time, Pu Haolong suddenly had no interest in staying any longer. , After thinking about it, in order not to waste this short period of time, he decided to browse the environment around the village to see what monsters and resource mines were around.

Although Lantian Village is located at the junction of the three places, it is also a place where wars frequently occur. However, because the large-scale missions in the game have not yet started, Lantian Village is like a paradise for the time being. However, in order to prevent future wars, Pu Haolong must try his best to develop and grow this place. Only in this way will the neighbors around him not regard this place as a piece of fat.

Walking out of Lantian Village, I took a look at the barren hills not far away. The lush forest above can provide the timber needs in the territory. When the time comes to build a sawmill, I believe that a steady stream of timber can be sent back.

Walking to the left of the village, it didn't take long for Pu Haolong to find an occupied mine, which should be able to provide the ore construction needs in the territory, but the mine in front of him was actually occupied by a group of cavemen.

It seems that if the robbers are defeated, these cavemen must be driven away. Shaking his head and walking forward, he found a sulfur mine, which can produce sulfur, but it has also been occupied by a group of walking corpses.

Pu Haolong looked at it, and in terms of the number of soldiers in his current territory, these walking corpses were not something he could defeat at all. After all, they were second-level troops. With the strength of his territory, the current sulfur mine should not be considered.

Then Pu Haolong, who was walking forward, found a treasure chest on the ground. Rubbing his eyes, Pu Haolong thought he had misread it, but the real treasure chest in front of him proved that he was right. The treasure chest was placed on the ground in front of him.

There will be some treasure chests randomly appearing on the land of "Chessboard Continent". These treasure chests contain different things, some may be materials, equipment, arms, and sometimes money or experience pills. Of course, these things are all right. It is a very useful thing for players, but sometimes, the opening of treasure chests will not be satisfactory, and some openings inside may be enemies.

Whether to open it or not, Pu Haolong hesitated, because sometimes according to the game company, a seventh-level unit will suddenly run out of the treasure box to attack you. To open the treasure box, you must be prepared accordingly. In case it is an enemy, Instantly will be killed by the monsters that appear inside.

After thinking about it, Pu Haolong decided to open it anyway. After all, the person standing behind him is an artificial intelligence, so he still has no hesitation. If he doesn't even have the courage, he should stop playing any games and quit obediently. The game is ready.

Pu Haolong slowly opened the sealed lid and looked inside. Pu Haolong found an envelope at the bottom of the box strangely. Seeing this envelope, Pu Haolong knew that this must be a trigger condition for a mission.

Sure enough, when Pu Haolong picked up the envelope in front of him, a system prompt came to his ears: Congratulations to the player for obtaining a poetic letter written by a bard to his beloved woman. The bard will visit the player's territory in the near future. The task For the puzzle-solving task, players are asked to discover the elements of the task by themselves.

The puzzle-solving task is a peculiar section in the game "Chessboard Continent", which allows players to try to guess the necessary conditions of the game through their own efforts. Only when certain conditions are met, the task will develop in a different direction. Specifically, It depends on the results of the players' own digging.

Pu Haolong shook the poem letter in front of him and read it:
Love in dreams and life is full of love, and loves asbestos in music;

She wanted to welcome spring in the snow, and Siyu had to come and meet her.

Pu Haolong looked at the letter in a daze. He didn't know what the bard wanted to express. It seemed that he was talking about his love and his lovesickness, but what exactly did he want to express? Pu Haolong was really puzzled as to what the word "wu" meant.

This is not something he is good at, so it seems that he has to put it away temporarily. When he is offline, he will ask Sister Ma Guo and the others in the studio to find out what this strange poem is trying to express.

Pu Haolong shook his head and turned around to return to the original road. He felt that his territory was too big. He had been walking for a long time, but he didn't even find anyone. How will the construction of the village develop in the future? You can't rely on God for food.

He looked down at the map of his territory. Although a large area of ​​images on the map was covered by black fog, he had almost found out everything within half a kilometer to the left of the village, except that a sawmill could be built on the opposite side of the village. , there is also a mine that provides ore, and a sulfur mine. It seems that the scope of its own territory is still very suitable for development.

After walking all the way back to the village, Pu Haolong glanced at the peasants who were constructing in full swing, but he didn't find the swordsman Fei Erbai, and he didn't know where the elite hero had gone, so he asked someone casually. Fei Erbai took two spearmen out to investigate the situation, and Pu Haolong hurriedly checked his small map.

Sure enough, there are three small green dots on the map that are slowly moving. Pu Haolong didn't notice it just now. It seems that Fei Erbai and the others have just left not long ago. Shaking his head, Pu Haolong logged off first. He should be preparing for today's meal Yes, and at the same time, I will also take out that strange poem and ask everyone to see if there are any good ideas.

After offline, Pu Haolong left his small house, walked to the living room, and looked towards the workshop on one side. Everyone was wearing helmets and focused on playing the game. With a smile, Pu Haolong picked up the vegetable basket and walked towards the supermarket outside. .
