Fantasy Game: Infinite City

some time ago.

"Frank", also known as Han Zu, was sitting on the steps at the door of the room, smoking, and discussing with Garcia an extra option on the system interface. Through research, the two found that they could issue some bounty tasks to other players, but the type of task could not be chosen by them, but by other players.

"It seems that you have really become a hidden boss or NPC in the dungeon, and you can even issue quests."

"I can also give them rewards, but I have never seen these rewards before, and I can't find where they are stored. I guess they will only appear after someone accepts the task."

"The previous mission to eliminate the thieves has also disappeared. This is very strange. We haven't even found those guys, so we can't be sure if they are players. We can't even be sure if this car is theirs."

"Forget it. These things are not important now. I want to know what the conditions are for us to pass the dungeon. Wait a little longer, and then we will go outside the farm."

After waiting for about half an hour, there was still no new task in the system. Just as the two were about to leave the farm to explore, a prompt suddenly appeared on the map. The location was a location on the edge of the farm, with three players' light spots showing on it, and they were neutral colors.

"How can a player's status be a neutral color?"

"I gonna go see."

According to the location on the map, Han Zu walked through the cornfield and came to the fence, where he saw the three players. From a brief conversation with them, Han Zu learned that they had accepted the bounty mission of "Frank", and just as he was thinking about what to do, a shopping list and a bundle of banknotes suddenly appeared in his pocket.

"Current goal: Release the task"

Following the system's instructions, Han Zu handed the shopping list and banknotes to the other party, said goodbye to them after a few polite words, and was about to return when a hostile red dot suddenly appeared on the map, and the task prompted that Han Zu needed to eliminate the enemy.

Turning around and raising his gun, Han Zu saw a monster that was about to attack the three players who had just accepted the mission. Han Zu fired a shot at the monster and killed it.

After the monster was destroyed, the task prompt disappeared temporarily. Han Zu returned to the small house on the farm and explained the situation to Garcia.

"So, now you are the NPC who issues quests?"

"Almost. How's your situation? Is there anything special?"

"There's nothing wrong here, but there is a gray light spot on the map. There is also a task in the task bar, but it is locked for the time being. I don't know what the task is. The gray light spot on the map should be the target location."

"Locked? Is it simply locked, or does it require the completion of some pre-task?"

"It doesn't say, but I guess the time may not have come yet. Let's wait and see."

The two men, who had no direction for the time being, began to wander around the farm. Garcia didn't like the hot weather very much, so he went back to the room to rest, while Han Zu strolled around and tried out the effects of his equipment.

"despair."

Han Zu casually spread out a small stone on the ground and found a bullet underneath it. Han Zu was sure that it was impossible for a rifle bullet to be hidden under that small stone.

"It seems to be a form of refresh. The quantity may be related to the size of the debris."

Putting the bullets into his pocket, Han Zu began to clear the stones on the ground. Under the stones of different sizes, Han Zu found more than twenty rifle bullets.

"Enough for a fight, huh?"

There was a rustling sound coming from the direction of the farm's main gate. Han Zu walked over to take a look. Just when he saw some monsters moving in another direction, Han Zu's task interface flashed. After someone accepted the bounty task, they quickly gave up the task.

"I wonder if the overalls' skill effect can work on monsters."

Han Zu picked up his rifle and knocked down the monsters outside the main gate. These monsters were very strange. After they died, their blood was quickly absorbed by the ground, leaving nothing behind.

"Strange, these monsters look like they can't be killed by a normal rifle bullet. Why are they so fragile? Is it because of the new mode?"

While searching through the monster's corpses, Han Zu muttered to himself. While successfully finding a lot of bullets, Han Zu also felt strange. It seemed that not all the monsters at the door were killed by him. Some of the monsters died from being bitten by something.

"The number doesn't match. Someone must have attacked them before I saw them, but why can't I sense who did it? Strange..."

The system and the map were still silent, nothing happened. Han Zu returned to the farm, maintaining the rifle in his hand while looking at the map, planning the route to explore later.

After a while, the bell at the farm gate rang. Han Zu came to the main gate and saw the three players who had completed the task. He opened the gate and let them drive the carriage loaded with groceries in.

After unloading the goods, Han Zu's task prompted a location, which was a wine cellar on the side of the house. Han Zu could confirm that this thing was not here five minutes ago, but he still followed the system's task and took out a small beer box with half a dozen beers from it, handed it to the three players, and sent them out of the farm. Han Zu quickly returned to the side of the small house. Although the wine cellar did not disappear, it became empty and nothing was left.

After putting away the sundries as required by the system, Han Zu prepared to go outside the farm to take a look. While he was talking to Garcia, he suddenly heard some noises coming from the garage next to the house.

The two immediately rushed to the garage, but when they arrived, they did not find any other players or enemies, just a little raccoon that had broken in and was stuck in the gap between car parts.

After helping it break free, the little raccoon ran away and went into the cornfield, disappearing. Garcia felt a little speechless, but Han Zu next to him didn't think much of it and walked around the garage.

"Nothing is missing this time, so it should be an ordinary creature."

"If we go out, what if someone takes this opportunity to steal the parts? Will it count as a failure of our mission?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Nothing happened when the mission to eliminate the thieves disappeared, which means it was a probabilistic mission and not important. So I guess our main mission is not that. Or we should stay on the farm. Didn't you say before that there was a gray mission location on your map? Let's go and take a look."

“Isn’t it on your map?”

"Well, although I have various exceptions, in the Infinite City, my system is still an ordinary player system, but yours seems to be different. It may hide some secrets. Let's go and take a look first."
