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

"The Tiangong volume is divided into three volumes, each representing the three major schools of practice. Since you only have the puppet scroll in your hand, we will start with this volume..."

Lush and deep forest, black spring filled with faint ink fragrance.

Elder Su's thick voice resounded in the air as calmly as an ancient well.

"The puppet scroll, as the name suggests, is a scroll specially used to record the puppet making method..."

Although there was the continuous sound of water in his ears, Elder Su's voice was extremely clear, and it reached Xiao Ran's ears word for word.

With his detailed explanation and the written description on the Tiangong volume, Xiao Ran gradually understood the professional characteristics of the "Tiangong" profession.

The advanced professional Tiangong is divided into two factions, one is Tiangong with magic brush talent, and the other is Tiangong with Yanshi talent.Although the job name is the same when the job change is finally completed, the skill principles and attack preferences of Tiangong players from different job predecessors are still quite different.

For example, Tiangong players converted from magic pens do not need to use the heart of Yanjia that all puppets must have when making puppets, and they can start making puppets with self-consciousness after level [-], which is very important for Yanshi In other words, it is a skill that can only be mastered after reaching the full level; Tiangong players converted from the Yanshi profession do not have to be equipped with a pen holder to use the skill of the magic pen. They can choose to make a kind of puppet with a pen called "phantom", Use magic pen skills and draw phantom arrays through phantoms.

After opening the awakening mission, players of two or more different professions will learn the strengths of each other's profession, and their own circumstances will determine the type of talent they will eventually transfer to. Of course, if the player is dissatisfied with his profession, he can also consider It is biased towards the development of several other basic occupations in advanced occupations.In fact, to some extent, this way of exchanging learning is also an opportunity for players to wash their talents.

This is why Xiao Ran, who is a magic brush, got the puppet scroll, while the phantom scroll fell into the hands of the "Alliance of Thousand Machines" created by the four great families of the agency.

Having said that, when it comes to making puppets, there are three ways to make puppets in Qianji Temple. Two of them are recorded in the puppet armor volume, namely ink puppet and pen armor. Among them, pen armor is also known as "Song Kangjia" praised by the world. Magic pen players can only make it after completing the fortieth-level breakthrough task and learning the method of summoning the pen spirit. With Xiao Ran's current level, what he can learn is a relatively basic ink puppet.

Ink puppet is a kind of puppet whose main material is ink block, so its appearance is different from that of puppets made of metal blocks of different colors. Generally, the appearance of ink puppet will show a relatively rich dark color, like Yantie spider is a black puppet. Cyan, of course, they belong to the first generation of products, and they also have the heart of Yanjia, so they are still in the ranks of monsters, like mature ink dolls and pen armor, they do not have the heart of Yanjia, they are neither npc nor monster, which also explains why When Xiao Ran used the npc perspective on Dr. Xu, "???" would be displayed on top of its head, because he was a pen armor made by Elder Su.

In addition to the surface material of the ink puppet is different from ordinary puppets, its internal structure is also different from other puppets.Inside the ink puppet, there is a puppet liquid made of high-grade ink mixed with special spring water, just like the "engine oil" liquid exposed from the lower abdomen of the spider lord. The puppet liquid can provide certain nutrition and power to the ink puppet, so that the ink puppet can It becomes a machine in a short period of time, has a simple consciousness program, and performs various behaviors according to the owner's instructions.The only downside is that the ink is a consumable and needs to be replenished all the time; once the ink is used up, the ink puppet will be automatically returned to the package.

In addition, the ink puppet is different from the pen armor with its own consciousness. Although the ink puppet has a simple program, most of it depends on the master's sensitive consciousness, and the command changes quickly enough. The number of sexual summons must be controlled by the master himself. If there are too many summons at one time, it will definitely be out of control.

"Currently, what is recorded in your puppet scroll is the lowest-level copper ink puppet among ink puppets. This is a material for making copper ink puppets. The old man has taught you the formula for making ink puppets. You must keep it in mind. "

With a wave of Elder Su's long sleeve, a handful of silk and gold thread, five sets of ordinary ink sticks, two pieces of copper ore, a bottle of high-quality ink, and a bottle of Qiushan spring water appeared in Xiao Ran's package.

Immediately after, a series of obscure formulas flashed through his mind, and a new skill was highlighted in Xiao Ran's skill bar.

Skill cooldown time: one hour

Occupation restrictions: magic pen (Chinese server), Yanshi (Chinese server)]

Looking at the staggering consumption, Xiao Ran thought that this Yanshi is worthy of being one of the most expensive jobs in China.

Other skills can be leveled, but this one is too expensive, even local tyrants can't afford to play like this, so they can only practice slowly.

"What are you still doing in a daze, let's start." Elder Su couldn't help urging, seeing that Xiao Ran was standing still.

Xiao Ran came back to his senses, took out all the materials from the package, his eyes flashed, his eyes became dark and focused, at the same time, the new skills in the skill bar instantly entered the cd time, and the ink puppet production started.

A progress bar appeared under Xiao Ran's field of vision. Under the guidance of the system, Xiao Ran processed each component according to the steps on the Tiangong volume.

About 1 minute later, a ball of white light appeared in Xiao Ran's hand, and there was a soft bang, the white light dissipated in the air and turned into a little bit of starlight, and a copper ink puppet was made.

ps: It can be healed after being injured, but the damage cannot be repaired]

The shape of the semi-human big copper-ink puppet is roughly the same as Song Ling's copper puppet, except that the overall color is the black of the ink block, and the joints that move are made of copper ore. A thin golden silk thread stretched towards Xiao Ran's eyebrows under the force of gravity, and after a barely noticeable pain, the thread passed through his skin, connecting his brain and Mo Puppet's heart together .

Then this originally very slender silk thread gradually became transparent, a red light flashed in the empty eye sockets of the ink puppet, then it straightened up tremblingly, slowly floated behind Xiao Ran and stood in the air.

Xiao Ran touched the puppet-control line that disappeared between his eyebrows, feeling very miraculous, his mind moved slightly, and the puppet behind him followed his instructions and circled around him.

He was very satisfied with Mo Puppet's energetic look, and gave it a few more complicated instructions. After the Mo Puppet completed them one by one, it floated in front of his eyes, shaking its head slightly, as if asking for money. Rewards are average.

Xiao Ran patted its head, this feeling was amazing, never had he ever had such a chance to pat its head to kill, it has always been before...

Xiao Ran's hands stopped.

What are they all?

His thoughts seemed to hit a wall suddenly, and he instantly forgot what he subconsciously wanted to say just now, but based on his understanding of his past, it was probably...

Xiao Ran thought of the "intimate" contact between Yiye Feihua's pale and slender hand and his head on the grassland a few days ago, and suddenly felt his heart beat faster, and put his hand down with a little dodge in his eyes.

Fortunately, Mo Puppet was sandwiched between Xiao Ran and Elder Su, so the old man didn't notice Xiao Ran's abnormality. He stroked his beard again and again, smiling, "Not bad, the little guy looks pretty good. Spirit, Xiao Ran, you opened your puppet armor scroll, did you find anything under the blueprint?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran unfolded the Tiangong scroll again, and found a progress bar appeared in the blank place under the original blueprint.

[Stage 1 Occupational Proficiency: 0.01%]

"Occupational proficiency includes your understanding of the advanced profession of Tiangong. The amount of this proficiency depends on the length of time you have been a Tiangong and your understanding of Tiangong's skills, so you need to practice more. Yanshi skills, of course, the improvement of the original professional skills will also help the increase of proficiency, but the effect is getting weaker. Well, this is all I want to teach you, and then you have to rely on yourself to practice," Elder Su said with a smile on his face. He explained with a smile, "When your level 1 proficiency is full, go to the Rongfeng Inn in Qiyang City to find a woman named Suning, and she will guide you to start the next level of professional tasks."

"Go ahead, you can leave now."

"What will you do when I leave?" Xiao Ran asked, "Haven't the four great families already found your trace?"

"You don't have to worry," Elder Su smiled confidently, "If the four great aristocratic families ordered me to find this old man before, it wouldn't be such a small movement. That girl from the Song family probably made her own decision... Hey, this aristocratic family I can't tell you clearly about the entanglement, all in all, you must complete the proficiency of Phase 1 as soon as possible, and there is not much time left for us..."

[Follow-up task 1 has been triggered, please complete the professional proficiency of stage 1 within one month, and go to the Rongfeng Inn in Qiyang City after one month, find Suning to start the next stage of the task]

There was a hint of sadness and nostalgia hidden in the voice of the old village chief, "...As for the old man, he was supposed to die 300 years ago, and he has lived so far in order to bring the Palace of Thousands of Machines back to light one day. Before the day comes, the old man will not let anything happen to him, don't worry."

Xiao Ran nodded, "In that case, the disciple is leaving, Elder Su, please take good care of yourself."

In this way, the awakening mission of the advanced mission has come to an end.

Xiao Ran, who came out of the woods, looked at the early sky, and had a plan in mind.

Let's finish the breakthrough mission as soon as possible.

The copper-ink puppet, who sensed Li Ran's intentions, floated in front of him as if facing a formidable enemy, held his head in both hands, squatted down and looked at him, then turned his head, shaking his head pitifully, although he had no expression, But Xiao Ran could feel its reluctance.

After comforting it a few words, he still put it into the package.

There is no way, if he wants to do the breakthrough mission, he still has to pretend to be a magic brush professional Lone Wood is not like forest, so he can't run around with puppets.

After Xiao Ran put away the bronze ink puppet, he transformed suddenly, and that handsome young face returned to him.

[A lone tree is not like a forest magic brush level 17]

Hey, I've been promoted to a level.

Xiao Ran was surprised for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously, opened the npc database, and ran towards the mission location with a brisk foot.

The mission location of the second ring of the breakthrough mission is in an eighteenth-level monster spawning area called "Barbarian Camp". In addition to the copy of the second ring mission location "Walk for the Sky", there is also the fifth ring mission location " Talented Deer" dungeon, so the player traffic in the barbarian camp is always full.

Yes, you guessed it right, the dungeon-themed Second Heaven, as long as you can receive tasks here, you can basically solve them in the dungeon.

This is even more so with breakthrough missions.

Except for the first ring where you can choose the place to brush the crow feathers, the other fifth ring tasks need to be completed in the task instance designated by the system. Interestingly, in order to facilitate players to complete the breakthrough task, the second, third, fourth, and fifth ring tasks The locations are relatively close to each other, and even the second and fifth rings are directly in the same monster spawning area, so that Xiao Ran, who came to do the task of the second ring, happened to meet some unexpected people.

Xiao Ran passed through the crowded crowd, and finally came to the task NPC in the second ring. Just as he was about to talk, he was bumped on the back.

"Let's go, let's go... yo, isn't this the 'tyrant' pony brother on the flying boat?" A familiar voice came from next to his ear, and Xiao Ran turned his head, just in time to meet Dawn Zhishui's eyes.

"Hello." Xiao Ran turned around, his usual polite smile stopped when he saw the mocking eyes of Chen Xi Zhi Shui.

"What? Are you still working on the second ring of the breakthrough mission?" Dawn Zhishui stretched his neck, except for the mission npc behind Xiao Ran, he didn't see other players walking with him, so he "suddenly realized" and said, "Ah , you are alone, no wonder, where are your two friends? Why are you not with you? "

"They have something to do, we will separate after we finish the task." Xiao Ran said lightly.

Hehe, don't let me join the group, you guys can't go together?

"How could they do this and leave you here alone to do breakthrough missions!" Dawn Zhishui was secretly pleased, but on the surface he still cared about him and said, "You must be working hard, right? A sixteenth-level It's really too difficult for the little magic pen to do breakthrough tasks alone. Hey, I wish I had met you sooner. Later, I met this master from the branch of the first guild in the career center. The master generously helped, He only accepted ten silver coins from me and promised to take me through the breakthrough..."

Dawn Water paused, and took two steps back, revealing behind him a young man in black clasped his fists and carrying an epee. The young man turned his head with a frosty face, and the emblem of the Shenyao Guild was on his arm in a black suit. It is very eye-catching against the background of the clothes.

Divine glory...

Xiao Ran's eyes darkened, and then he smiled politely and distantly, "Hello."

The man greeted Li Ran with his chin, "Rong Sanqian, a full-fledged member of Shenyao branch guild Zhu Shenzhiyao."

Rong Sanqian's indifferent attitude towards Xiao Ran makes Chenxi Zhishui very happy. His attitude is very flattering, yes, but he has the capital to be aggressive, okay?There is no player who will not be proud of joining Shenyao, even in the branch guild. After all, the 100:1 selection rate of Shenyao General Guild is not a joke.

Such a player was invited by him with ten silver coins, what luck!

"Don't look at him like this, in fact, the master is still very powerful. It took us a day to finish the first round of tasks, and now we have reached the fifth round." Chen Xizhishui covered his face with a smug smile, Pretending to comfort Xiao Ran, "Look, after I pass the breakthrough, I will introduce him to you, so that you won't have to worry about passing the breakthrough... Well, it's just that your level is lower, and you may be charged two silver coins more, don't worry, I will speak good words for you, try to invite Master Master as cheap as possible!"

Not only did Guangming ridicule Xiao Ran, but he also showed off a master from Shenyao. Chenxi Zhishui felt that he was very proud, and the anger he received on the flying boat that day disappeared in an instant.

Xiao Ran smiled, "No thanks."

Since you are so ignorant of flattery, then you can do it slowly by yourself!snort.

Dawn Zhishui secretly rolled his eyes, and when he was about to say something, Rong Sanqian's impatient voice came from behind him.

"How much time do you want to waste here, can you go?"

"Let's go, let's go..." Chenxi Zhishui turned his head and was about to say goodbye to Xiao Ran, when a surprised female voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Huh? Brother Ma, why are you here?" Twilight Weimo walked towards Xiao Ran with a young-looking rookie player behind him.

Xiao Ran raised his eyes and felt happy when he saw an acquaintance. He was just about to say hello to her, but Chen Xizhishui said it first.

"He's doing the second ring of the breakthrough mission." As soon as he saw the two beauties approaching, Dawn Water, who was about to leave, came up again.

"Break through the second round of the mission?" Twilight Weimo asked doubtfully, she remembered that Xiao Ma had finished the first round three days ago, why did he come to do the second round now?

"Yeah, young people are just playing for fun, there is no loss in challenging yourself," Dawn Water thought she was also surprised that a little player at level [-] would challenge the breakthrough task so much, so she pretended He was forthright, but secretly raised himself up and said, "Unlike me, I completed the fifth ring in only four days, and I didn't even enjoy the fun of the task."

"Are you kidding?" Twilight frowned, and obviously didn't like the guy who interrupted her conversation with Brother Xiao Ma repeatedly, "This Brother Xiao Ma spent an hour three days ago to kill the first ring. The task is done, there must be something delayed in the middle, so we are now doing the second ring."

"One hour?!"

Not only the water of the dawn, but also the expressions on the faces of all the people around who heard the words that the twilight is not over are dull.

Even Rong Sanqian, who was originally very cold and cold, was taken aback for a moment, and gave Li Ran a strange look.
