I'm sorry I'm an npc [online game]

The homonym of "talented deer" is "talented road".

If it is said that the first four rings are a unified assessment of the basic quality of the players, then the fifth ring is to truly divide the players according to their occupations and conduct different content assessments.And its content is usually one of the core talents of this profession.

For example, Tianyi is to grasp the blood line, Jiuli is to move the body, Yanshi is to divert consciousness, a warlock is to prevent ot, and the magic pen...

imagination.

[Fifth Ring of Breakthrough Mission—Ma Liang, please draw the appearance of the talented deer in your mind

The total task time limit: 1 hour, please use the painting in your hand to summon the talented deer, the system will evaluate your words, if the score exceeds 60, the talented deer will be successfully summoned]

In all fairness, the "talented deer" part is undoubtedly the easiest part of the six-ring task, because talent and professional comprehension are the main assessment directions for the next two rounds of breakthrough tasks, so in the first round of basic quality-based The proportion of talent assessment in the breakthrough task is not large, and it is very basic and simple. The purpose is to hope that players can seriously think about the future development direction of the profession and the way of working hard according to the prompts given by the system.

But what about imagination?

As soon as Xiao Ran entered the dungeon, he got such task information. As soon as he finished reading the task details, a piece of rice paper with a size of 1.6x1.3 yards slowly appeared in the void in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a temporary skill was suddenly lit up in his skill bar.

[Skill: Magic Brush Ma Liang (Free Skill) [Temporary]

ps: Of course, you can also draw a pancake to satisfy your hunger or something, Mama no longer has to worry about me being hungry~]

Xiao Ran activated the new skill, and he immediately felt the colorful streamer on the surface of his big stylus. At the same time, the system also popped up a selection box, allowing him to choose the appropriate brush type and color in the brush effect bar.

There are many types of pens to choose from, including brushes, colored pencils, hard pens, watercolor pens...

In the end, Xiao Ran chose the effect of the oil paint brush, and his big iron pen immediately became smaller, transforming into an oil paint brush that was most suitable for him to hold. After choosing the type of pen, you can freely switch the type and color of the pen according to your needs, which makes people have to feel the power of the system.

Not much to say, after getting the paintbrush he wanted, Xiao Ran looked thoughtfully at the quiet and mysterious forest under the starry sky, without much hesitation, he swiped the brush and drew the image of the elk in his impression on the rice paper.

Not long after, a doe deer with a peaceful expression appeared on the paper.

After finishing the painting with one stroke, Xiao Ran looked up, but was surprised by his unexpectedly excellent painting skills.

Eh?Not bad?

The doe on the paper has bright eyes and a kind body. I don't know if it has something to do with the systematic modification of painting skills. In short, Xiao Ran is very satisfied, and he submitted the painting scroll.

[System score: 51 points, the summoning failed, please continue to work hard]

The brush and ink on the rice paper gradually faded, and after a few seconds, the rice paper became as white as ever.

Hmm... Maybe I didn't draw it carefully enough?

In the new round of painting, Xiao Ran meticulously depicted the image of the elk, and filled in all the details that could be supplemented on the basis of the original one. If it was in reality, it would take at least three hours to draw such a deer Time, but with the assistance of the system, it took Xiao Ran three to ten minutes to complete it.

The new elk is lifelike and full of spirit, Xiao Ran even took the trouble to color it, making the "talented deer" on the paper look as real and vivid as if it will jump out of the rice paper in a second.

It's okay now.

Xiao Ran submitted the scroll with confidence.

[System score: 59 points, the summoning failed, please continue to work hard]

59!Xiao Ran almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

It seems to have to do it all over again.

There is not much time left, and it is obviously impossible to draw a better painting than before, and he has a faint feeling that the direction of thinking before may be wrong, so instead of rushing to start the next work, It's better to calm down and think about the possible reasons.

Why?Obviously the drawing is very good, why is the score so low?

After thinking left and right, Xiao Ran still couldn't think of the reason, the dwindling time made him gradually think of giving up the task, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to wander, subconsciously gesticulating on the ground with a pen in his hand.

The talented deer, the talented deer... If there really was such a elk, what would it look like?

First of all, it represents professional talent, so he must have the excellent qualities of other professions. For example, if a thief-type player is good at moving, then he should have strong thighs. Break the iron hoof of the sword, and give it a pair of mana-filled antlers...

Xiao Ran raised his eyes and looked around.

It lives in the forest in the dark night, so it must have a pair of piercing eyes with good eyesight.

By the way, the barbarian general took away one of its antlers, so there is only one horn left on its head...

[The task time is only 5 minutes, please hurry up and complete the task]

The prompt that popped up suddenly by the system interrupted Xiao Ran's random thoughts, he was devoting himself to drawing the possible characteristics of the talented deer in his mind on the ground, he suddenly shivered, and hurriedly got up to paint in a hurry.

He said that he wanted to give up, after all, the painting just now was the best one he could draw so far, and it was only 59. He really couldn't figure out what kind of talented deer the system wanted.

But he has already reached the fifth ring, and if he fails, the efforts of the first four rings will be in vain. Thinking about the consequences of this trouble...then he should struggle.

Holding a pen, Xiao Ran stood in front of the rice paper at a loss, but the time passed by every minute, after hesitating for a while, Xiao Ran pursed his lips and wrote decisively!

His mind was in chaos, and when he closed his eyes, there were random graffiti on the ground, so when he came back to his senses, he was dumbfounded.

"This is...too ugly." Xiao Ran commented on his "masterpiece" with mixed feelings.

Thinking of how handsome and airy the last painting was, and looking at this lump... I don't know what the hell it is, the psychological gap is more than a little bit.

But even with such a bad drawing, there is no choice.

[Time is over, whether to submit the painting. 】

If you die, you will die, and you will take revenge on society.

Xiao Ranxu focused his attention and clicked submit, thinking that the system would blow up a negative score to make him fuck off, but he never expected——

[System score: 92 points!Successfully summoned the Deer of Talent! 】

Xiao Ran was dumbfounded: "..."

However, in the next second, something that made him even more dumbfounded happened——

With a crisp deer cry, a handsome and gorgeous female deer jumped out from the rice paper, looked back at Xiao Ran, then jumped into the forest under the starry sky, and disappeared.

The skin that exudes luster, the eyes that are as moist as pearls, the proportion of the perfect slender body, the impeccable animal facial features, no matter from which angle you look at it...

They all painted a completely different species from him!

Even... the things he drew don't show species at all!Who can tell him why such a beautiful elk is summoned in his unique painting style?Has the system been brain kicked?

Xiao Ran thought messily in the wind.

No, no, what's more important is that the system said he was unqualified for his good-looking drawings, but he passed the level with a high score for his ugly drawings? !

This unscientific!

Xiao Ran was so incapable of explaining that he would spend the whole day thinking about it.

After Xiao Ran inexplicably completed the mission of the fifth ring, he found an old forest in the deep mountains to get in touch with the camouflage skills. He slept in the open all night, and the next day he wore the camouflaged skin and returned to the career center outside Xianyang City.

"Hi, teacher, father." Xiao Ran walked through the dense forest and found the old painter right behind the large crystal base with ease.

"Meet you again, brave young man," the old painter smiled kindly. "Although it took longer than expected, your performance is surprising."

Judging from the old painter's expression, the "accident" he mentioned can probably be a good idea.

"You have been praised too much. This is a test that one should complete as a magic pen." Xiao Ran said modestly. He knew that although he had already reached the last stage, it was not the time to rejoice, because once he failed in the last stage, That means that there is no chance to start over. This time the breakthrough mission has completely failed, the player will be teleported back to the First Heaven, and the three random skills will be withdrawn, and all the mission performances accumulated in the mission will also be deleted. Cleared, if you want to do the mission again, you have to take the flying boat to Erzhongtian again.

The old painter smiled slightly, "Then are you ready to meet the final challenge now?"

"I'm ready, but before that, I have one more thing to ask you." Xiao Ran told the old painter what happened in the fifth ring.

"...Why did such a fine work fail the test, but such a rough painting got a high score?" With the spirit that I can't be blind alone, Xiao Ran pulled out the iron pen, and used the tip of the pen to touch the soft ground. The appalling "Deer of Talent" from before was perfectly copied.

The old painter couldn't help laughing twice after seeing it, which made Xiao Ran even more ashamed.

Just before Xiao Ran buried his head on the ground, the old painter stopped laughing, and he said, "Because in the heart of Zhulong, the real good painting depends not on what you draw, but on what you think about." Young man, look here, one of the antlers is missing, I can tell at a glance that this is a deer of talent."

It's not about what you paint, it's about what you think...

The profound words of the old painter aroused his thinking.

In other words, what I draw is not the deer of talent, but the deer of talent I think...

"Ah! I understand," Xiao Ran's eyes lit up immediately, "Because the one behind is the 'Deer of Talent', it will get such a high evaluation!"

"exactly."

Xiao Ran figured it out at once. He had been trying every means to draw the "talented deer" to perfection before, but he didn't know that what he drew was just an ordinary elk, but the real "talented deer" was the one with many "talented deer" behind it. The "soul painting" featuring the "talented deer" is precisely these characteristics that distinguish the "talented deer" from ordinary elk, and the "talented deer" drawn in this way will get a high evaluation of 92 points.

Of course, it does not mean that good painting is bad, and good painting is of course better!For example, for the remaining 8 points, if Xiao Ran can change his painting style, he will definitely get a higher score.

Xiao Ran thought of the rumors he had heard from the players before, and suddenly felt a little emotional. No wonder everyone said that the most difficult thing about magic brushes is imagination rather than painting skills. So that's what they meant!

It is not what you draw that can be realized, but what you think can be realized.

Xiao Ran's eyes were far away, and he immediately understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before. The old painter didn't bother him when he saw his epiphany, but just stood aside, waiting quietly like a kind elder.

If it was said that the old painter's remarks on the true meaning of painting made Xiao Ran interested in the magic brush for the first time, then today is the first time he felt the charm of this profession.

But comprehension belongs to comprehension, and the task still has to be done.

Xiao Ran came to his senses, it was already 10 minutes later, he remembered that his camouflage skills had a time limit, and he didn't dare to delay any longer, he hurriedly accepted the task from the old painter, and was sent to the copy of the task in the sixth ring went.

Finally arrived at the last copy.

Facing the venomous sunlight, Xiao Ran squinted his eyes at the volcano in the distance that was erupting at any time, then turned his head and saw a few young people with confused faces standing in place, obviously not mentally prepared to deal with the situation in front of them.

Xiao Ran was not surprised to see these "teammates" who appeared suddenly, because he knew that the last item of the level 20 breakthrough mission was teamwork.

So now they are randomly assigned to the same team copy by the system, and in order to bring the most brilliant mission system of the oracle to the market, the system specially sets this ring of missions as——

Compete missions!

Competing missions are the last of the three factions in the unique missions, and they are the most important.It does not have a single rule limit, and the rules and winning methods of each competitive mission are different. The general process is that players obtain admission tickets in various ways, and then follow the instructions of the admission tickets to enter the competition copy competition.Of course, we can't generalize. For hidden competition tasks like "Thousand Machine Palace", if Xiao Ran hadn't accidentally discovered that there were other competitors, the system would probably not give out the competition task until after entering the map of Thousand Machine Palace. Related Information.

There are various forms and rules of competition dungeons, including pure force type, pure puzzle solving type, and survival warfare and so on... In short, the customs clearance requirements of each dungeon are different. There is only one reward.This "one" can refer to a team or an individual, depending on whether the ticket you get is a single ticket or a team ticket.

For example, the fragment of the map of Panlong Dungeon in Xiao Ran's hand is a team ticket.Of course, there are also competitive missions that do not require entry tickets. Most of these are non-wild system missions, such as the sixth ring of the breakthrough mission that Xiao Ran is doing now.

[Breakthrough Mission Sixth Ring - Team Competition - Heart of Flame

Task time limit: 2/hour

Team cap: 5/team

Maximum number of teams in a single group: 6/person

Number of existing teams: 4/team

Number of final winning teams: 1/team]

After a brief mission message flashed in the field of vision, an emotionless voice sounded in the void.

[Welcome to the competition dungeon "Yanshan".Yanshan Mountain is a fairy volcano with a lot of aura. Its main lava lord left several "Fire Hearts" after the last volcano eruption. The mission of all adventurers entering Yanshan Mountain this time is to collect As many flame hearts as possible, go to the top of Yanshan Mountain and donate to the lava lord. The team that donates the most "flame hearts" after two hours will win this round. 】

[The upper limit of the team is five teams, the initial team is four teams, and each team has six people. ", the number of flame hearts in each uphill route is random. If all the flame hearts in this route are collected, they can be sent to other routes through the teleportation array scattered around. 】

[The dungeon "Yanshan" adopts the captain's self-selection mode. After the timer starts, you will have a chance to choose the captain.In addition, you have another chance to choose a team. You can choose to stay in this team, or you can choose to enter the blue teleportation array next to you to the entrance of the fifth team "Huangtu Road". The maximum number of people is 6, and the fifth team... has no maximum number of people. 】

[In addition, the players who died in the copy "Yanshan" and the players of the non-victory team will be randomly sent to the safe area of ​​Yichongtian, and the breakthrough will be judged as failure. 】

[All the basic information about this competition mission has been given, and the mission countdown begins! 】

1: 59: 59

When the countdown started, the first person to react was a young swordsman with yellow hair standing outside the crowd.

"Since it's a copy of Yanshan, let's report the level first, I'm 26." The yellow-haired swordsman sat on the boulder with one leg bent and unrestrained, with long golden hair and a snow-white gown. They all look very much like the second-year middle school youths who came out of the hot-blooded manga.

The level he mentioned refers to his actual level. Everyone here is a player who has not passed the breakthrough mission. The player level information displayed in the team information column is all "level 20" except for Xiao Ran, so he That's why I proposed that everyone report their grades first. Judging from the skilled tone, it seems that the yellow hair has been planted on the sixth ring many times.

"What about you?" "25."

"You." "23."

"And you." "24"

Huang Mao asked them one by one, and when he asked Xiao Ran, he paused. He glanced at the team column, with an inexplicable smile from the corner of his mouth, and then jumped over him to look at the last player.

"I, I'm 20." Under Huang Mao's impatient eyes, this honest-looking Yanshi player said timidly, different from the usual appearance of other players, his curious and nervous expression made Xiao Ran sure that he was also the first player Once into the sixth ring.

"Since I'm the highest-ranking person in the team, it shouldn't be a problem for me to be the captain, right?" Huang Maoliu glanced at everyone, holding the dagger as if what he was weighing was not a dagger but a brick. .

Everyone silently acquiesced to his self-talking behavior, and Xiao Ran didn't have any objections. In this dungeon where time is limited and there is competition, it is best to determine the captain as soon as possible and start as soon as possible.

But what he didn't expect was that after the captain was selected, the team didn't rush to start, but stayed where they were and discussed other matters.

"According to the usual rules, if level 26 is the upper limit of the team, then the second echelon is 22-25, and those whose level is less than 22 can fill the pot as usual." Huang Mao turned his head and said sullenly.

"Filling the hot pot?" Yanshi player asked suspiciously, and Xiao Ran who was next to him was also puzzled, this was the first time he had heard this term.

As soon as the words fell, the other three looked at Xiao Ran and the Yanshi players with sympathetic eyes, while Huang Mao fiddled with the dagger in his hand without saying a word, and a sense of irritability emanated from his whole body.

A little nanny couldn't stand it any longer, and said softly to the two of them, "Should it be the first time for you to enter the competition dungeon? In fact, there are only a few dungeons around the sixth ring, and Yanshan is the most difficult one. So in order to pass Yanshan, everyone has some unwritten rules in private, for example, the third mission information says that players have the opportunity to choose a team, but in fact it is the team that eliminates players."

"Elimination? But the mission hasn't started yet." Yanshi players were puzzled.

The little nanny looked at him more and more pitifully, "Let's put it this way, the configuration for each team arranged by the system is similar. If the person with the highest actual level in the first group is level 26, then the highest level in the other three groups is also the same." Level 26, if the level range of the second echelon calculated from the highest level is 22-25, other groups will also have the same number of players from 22-25, and the last echelon is below 22, which is also... that is, it belongs to the breakthrough task Those who are in the queue usually rush to the street, and staying in the team is also a hindrance..."

"So you mean to kick us out?" Yanshi player's eyes widened in disbelief, and at the same time everyone fell silent, he couldn't help complaining, "How can you do this!"

"We have no choice. Everyone wants to win, and we're not the only ones..." Another player retorted softly.

"But, but this can't be..." The Yanshi player was very disappointed. He didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he entered the competition mission for the first time. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to his previous expectations and curiosity. .

"Nothing can do it! If it wasn't for the Yanshan Dungeon, who the hell would want to offend people!" Huang Mao shouted suddenly without saying a word, startling everyone else.

"Who didn't enter Yanshan for the first time to fill the pot? Except for the two of you, who didn't spend ten days and half a month with the breakthrough mission! Who do you think you are? You feel bad, and I feel bad luck Huangmao spat, "I'm 26 and haven't finished this shitty task yet, and I'm still the highest level, xx higher than you! Every time the villain is I, the system is me xxxxxx..."

After a while of beeping, beeping, the system silenced, Huangmao was silenced as expected, and he turned his head in a very bad mood, venting all kinds of dissatisfaction with the system caused by the copy of Yanshan in his heart.

The last player glanced at Huang Mao, and said apologetically: "Don't take what he said to heart, I think he should be very sorry. We all came here like this so we can understand your feelings, but who will understand? What about us? Filling the hot pot is an unwritten rule for all players to randomly arrive at Yanshan. If we keep you and other teams eliminate downstream players, it will be too difficult to win...Sorry, we really want to win, We have already spent too much time and energy on the breakthrough mission."

"In this case..." The disappointed Yanshi player suddenly raised his head, "What do you mean by filling the hot pot?"

"This..." Everyone was in a dilemma.

Xiao Ran at the side probably thought of the reason.

Troop hot pot, thousands of years ago during the North-South Korean War, people who were short of supplies at that time picked up leftovers such as sausages and hams discarded by enemy soldiers and washed them, and then boiled them in a large pot. Although it later evolved into a famous Korean delicacy. So far, but thinking about the origin, the three words "filling the hot pot" are really appropriate to describe their situation.

"Let's go." Xiao Ran patted the Yanshi player on the shoulder, and led him away before everyone was even more embarrassed.

Before stepping into the teleportation formation, the Yanshi player held back his sore nose, looked at Xiao Ran's indifferent face, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry?"

"There's nothing to be angry about. Everyone has selfish intentions," Xiao Ran said lightly, "They should be surprised by then..."

"what?"

"...Forget it's okay, let's go, go to the 'Hot Pot Group'." Xiao Ran hesitated to speak, compared to the loss of Yanshi players, he was still in the mood to laugh at himself. Zhong Ruo looked at the other four people with deep meaning, which was not a very good expression.

After spinning around for a while, they walked out of the teleportation array.

The people who were chatting at first fell silent when they saw Xiao Ran appearing from the teleportation array.

Xiao Ran was also taken aback.

"Why are you here?!" "Why are you here?!"
