Besides these few people, an old man was sitting in the innermost part of the tavern, drinking alone.

Triggering a conversation, the old man muttered, "Young people nowadays are really outrageous, doing nothing in a tavern in broad daylight."

"Then why are you allowed to?" Nilu couldn't help but retort.

The old man glanced at her and said matter-of-factly, "I'm already old, of course, I can."

Okay, this old man is just a background character and not a recruitable one.

It seems I have to choose between the wandering swordsman Laban and the thief Paris.

Mu Jinxia studied them for a bit. Paris's special skill is thievery, which can increase the success rate of lockpicking and disarming simple traps.

The old swordsman Laban's special skills are survival and agility. Survival skills can be useful in many places in the wild. For example, if you want to cross a rapid river, you need the help of a teammate with survival skills. Agility is described as rapid and accurate motor ability, which can slightly increase the critical hit rate and evasion chance in actual combat.

The special skill possessed by Meixia, as a disciple of the Sage, is ancient languages, which can decipher texts that others cannot understand, thereby obtaining clues or activating remaining magic.

Each character's special skills are determined by their background and profession.

There is no doubt that a team needs people with different special skills to complement each other in order to cope with the various unexpected situations that may be encountered in the adventure.

However, the special skills only have a brief introduction, and you can only guess their approximate function from the words. The specific function still needs to be explored by the players themselves.

Mu Jinxia thought for a while and chose to team up with Paris.

The adventure might encounter locked treasure chests or something. If you bring a thief, you won't miss the treasure if you encounter a treasure chest, probably?

Next, she went to other places in the town and roughly figured out the layout of the town.

The slums are near the docks, and Paris's home is here.

Entering the house, a cutscene comic is triggered.

The house is very low and the walls are bare. Besides clothes and a bed, there is nothing of value to be seen.

"Brother Paris, did you go drinking again?"

The portrait above the dialogue box is of a girl wearing patched clothes, whose name is marked as Qiuna. At this time, she is staring over unhappily with her round eyes.

Mu Jinxia felt a sense of pity: "Oh, Paris has such a cute younger sister."

Qiuna's somewhat malnourished complexion, coupled with her worn clothes, is heartbreaking.

The water friends excitedly howled!

"Brothers, it's time to loli-con!"

"Loli-con warlock is overjoyed!"

"I'll shoot every loli-con!"

Paris blushed and defended, "I went to the tavern to look for work. Can looking for work be called drinking... Huff, huff, I'm going on an adventure next. Treasure hunting is a man's romance..."

"Eh? Adventure... you're going to do something dangerous again." Qiuna said angrily, "Really, how stupid is brother."

...

Stepping into the cave again, the light was extremely dim.

Mu Jinxia opened her backpack and used the lantern prop, and the cave immediately lit up again.

After joining a teammate, there is also the function of talking and communicating with the teammate.

Paris was very excited: "If there is a secret treasure of some notorious bandit buried in the cave, that would be a man's dream."

Nilu made a face and smiled, "Pfft, Paris is so stupid, how could there be such a daydream-like thing."

Paris was ruthlessly exposed, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "What did you say?"

Mu Jinxia was amused by the exchange between the two, and then felt that this conversation function was quite interesting.

If you feel monotonous during exploration, or if there is a character you like in the team, you can see what the teammates are saying, and it really feels like exploring as a team.

If you don't want to see the plot, the characters won't speak along the way, saving time.

Although it is a small design, it is very humane, which makes her feel a little more fond of it.

In fact, the function of this dialogue is more than that. If you encounter any setbacks in the middle, the dialogue between the characters will also reveal clues to solve the problem. You can inquire about this information from the tavern owner.

Continuing forward from the cave where the little ghost attacked her last time, they came to a spacious hall with uneven rock walls, and another little ghost jumped out.

"Why are the little ghosts so ugly?"

"The Sage said before that there are many evil spirits underground. Perhaps, the little ghosts were humans who lived underground before, and because they were cursed by evil spirits, they became what they are now, neither human nor ghost."

"Why can the protagonist feel the call of the underground? What is the relationship with the evil spirits?"

The water friends diverged their thinking and boldly guessed.

After defeating the monster, a hidden event point appeared on the rock wall.

"This crack in the rock needs to be lit up with a lantern to be discovered. There should be good things inside, right?" Mu Jinxia touched the crack in the rock and took out a small bag of gold coins, and said in surprise, "There really is a treasure! You only get 2 gold coins for defeating a small monster, and this bag has 150 gold coins. Getting rich depends on picking them up."

The underground cave has a complex and winding path, and as they explored, most of the map was gradually revealed.

When they went deeper, a comic cutscene was suddenly triggered.

A scream came from the front, and a young girl ran over staggeringly, with tears of fear on her face. It was Paris's younger sister, Qiuna!

Behind her was a little ghost, but it was somewhat different from the earth-type little ghost she had encountered before. It was holding a thick wooden stick that it didn't know where it found, wearing a small round helmet on its head, with narrow ears and a mouth full of dense, sharp fangs, almost reaching the sides of its face.

Its eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty smile, as if it wanted to smash people's heads.

Stone Little Ghost, an advanced monster of the Earth Little Ghost.

"Qiuna, why are you here!" Paris was extremely shocked.

Without time to think about how Qiuna ran here, at this critical moment, everyone immediately protected Qiuna behind them, formed a formation, and attacked the Stone Little Ghost.

Qiuna's appearance is actually a hidden plot.

When the player chooses Paris as a teammate and comes to this event point while the Stone Little Ghost is still alive, the task of protecting Qiuna will be triggered. If there is no Paris in the team, it is just a normal battle against the Stone Little Ghost.

Being able to keep Qiuna alive and escort her out of the cave will earn you a valuable SP point needed for job transfer.

However, this task is quite difficult for novice players playing for the first time. Because when exploring here under normal circumstances, if you don't know how to save mana when fighting small monsters, then you won't have much mana left to cast skills now.

The Stone Little Ghost's health and attack power are much higher than the Earth Little Ghost's. A stick can basically knock off 10 health points from the player.

Qiuna only has 16 health points. If she is unlucky and gets hit twice in a row, the task will fail directly.

The health of several main combat personnel is around 40 points, and some will be consumed along the way. If there is not enough mana at this time and the battle cannot be ended quickly, they may even end up here.

"Arrow Curse!" Mu Jinxia shouted嬌, then showed an embarrassed expression, "... Uh, I'm out of mana."

At this time, she encountered this embarrassing situation and couldn't even cast Arrow Curse once.
