Please ask the dream.

Chapter 171 Isn't it natural to have tasks in playing games?

Feng Xue couldn't help but be curious about the situation in this camp due to the merchant's straightforward reply. However, at this moment, the merchant changed the subject and said:

"Of course, if it's just a rule, I will stay in the store and wait for you to come to me, but I see good potential in you. If it's you, maybe you can really conquer that oasis."

"Oasis?" Feng Xue frowned. Although it was normal to have an oasis in the desert, since it was mentioned here, it meant that even if this oasis was not the location of the final battle in this round, it was also an important map.

Fortunately, what was playing in front of Feng Xue was just a cutscene. The businessman did not notice his doubts and just said to himself:
"Not long ago, a batch of my goods was robbed. I know that you adventurers also do some part-time work as bounty hunters. As long as you can kill this man, I am willing to pay you a reward that you absolutely cannot refuse!"

As he spoke, the businessman took out a photo, and the text options of the gold finger also appeared simultaneously:
[Out of recognition of your strength, the merchant issued a bounty to you, asking you to kill a thief wandering in the wilderness. You decided -]

[1. I am an adventurer, not a killer.]

[2. I hope your reward is commensurate with the difficulty of the task.]

【Three, Die for me! 】

……

Feng Xue looked at the three options and decisively ruled out the third one. Not to mention that this businessman must have some skills to be able to live such a comfortable life in the camp, first of all, he had just been released from prison.

Although killing someone in the camp might earn you a free Dragon Field Enlightenment, last time he was just forced to fight back, but this time, it was intentional murder!

"Although it's good to stick to the bottom line of an adventurer, I always feel that jumping nodes is a loss."

Feng Xue thought for a moment and finally chose option 2. He had to move forward anyway. With his current configuration, it would be better to fight humanoid monsters than wild beasts.

As the options fell, the picture also faded away. As the businessman left, a new line of text emerged:

[Your next node is locked to [Desert Thief Hunt] (Emergency), and you get the blue box (blue). ]

Name: Blue Box

Category: Smart Use of Collection

Quality: Blue Excellent

Effect: It can be opened after completing the task, and you will definitely get a blue collection.

Note: The mission rewards have been issued, so feel free to complete the mission.

……

"Is there such a good thing with this golden finger? Are there also [Purple Box] and [Orange Box]?" Feng Xue looked at this pixel block that seemed to come from the set of Minecraft with some surprise, and couldn't help but feel curious.

But he also knew very well that for Golden Finger to give such a reward, the mission objective must be of a difficulty worthy of its quality.

"Tsk, it seems like I got a big job."

The picture faded and the node reappeared, but all the nodes extending from the current node turned into [Desert Thief Hunting].

"So no matter which direction you go, you're bound to run into each other, right?"

Seeing this, Feng Xue was too lazy to choose and just randomly picked the one with the straightest path. As the picture unfolded, a desolate and magnificent scene appeared before his eyes.

Desert, sunset, two men facing each other in the wind and sand. One holds a knife, the other holds a sword, both men's eyes are filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, the narration seemed to be affected by the picture, and changed from the original horizontal Song font to vertical running script, as if written by a brush, appearing on the left side of this scroll with a strong martial arts atmosphere.

[After several days of tracking, you successfully caught up with the target of the mission. You didn't say too much because you could see from his eyes that he was ready to fight.]

The text disappeared and the picture began to render. Feng Xue's consciousness was immersed in the painting. When his body became flexible, he immediately felt a soft touch under his feet.

"A desert environment... I've never fought in a place like this before."

Feng Xue, feeling a little unsteady on his feet, frowned slightly and immediately adjusted his stance. Although he had no relevant mission experience, he had relevant knowledge in his extensive killer skills. With the characteristic of the dream world that what you dream is what you get, his movements were adjusted almost the moment the thought came into his mind.

Just as he was adjusting his posture, a gust of wind suddenly blew from behind the man with the knife.

The sky was covered with yellow sand. At this moment, the man with the knife seized the opportunity. He suddenly lowered his body and was about to give Feng Xue, who was standing downwind, a good beating!
Feng Xue originally thought that he was going to be in serious trouble, but what he didn't expect was that the oncoming sandstorm seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall and bypassed Feng Xue's face. This made Feng Xue, who had already raised his sleeves, change his tactics immediately!

"The wind provided by the Hippogriff can actually avoid dust?"

Although Feng Xue guessed the source of the abnormality, he did not hesitate at all. He seized the opportunity when the knife-wielding man misjudged the situation and thrust out the long sword in his hand.

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing exploded, and Feng Xue only felt a numbness in his wrist, but he did not step back because of the difference in strength. Instead, he took a step forward and stepped on the opponent's foot.

The kick came very suddenly, and the man with the knife was not expecting it. However, the ground under his feet was soft sand, so the kick failed to cause enough damage. However, the two hits were successful.

Two sword lights burst out almost at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, slashing towards the man with the knife like scissors. But at this moment, the man who only had a knife and whose feet were stepped on by Feng Xue suddenly burst out with unimaginable terrifying power.

The wind and sand were directly dispersed at this moment, and while the sword light was blocked by some force, the sharp blade light had already appeared in front of him.

The suddenness of this moment made Feng Xue feel the distance of death. Without any hesitation, the prepared plan that had been prepared long ago was activated at this moment -

"Smash Varudo! Stop time!"

card!
Time froze in an instant, but this was obviously not a time stop, but the lottery time from [Kao Ge's Wrath].

Just like the mechanism in many games where the game is paused after opening the backpack, which is used by players to pause and drink medicine, Feng Xue would naturally not miss the opportunity to use the collection mechanism to exploit the bug.

As the roulette wheel spun rapidly, the scene in front of him became clearer, and Feng Xue finally saw clearly the enemy's current state.

"He's actually an architect?!" Feng Xue couldn't help but squint his eyes as he looked at the sand that turned into a shield to block two attacks - this was the first time he saw an architect in the new game!
but……

"Now that we know he's the architect, it'll be easier to fight him!"

He muttered to himself, and the roulette wheel stopped at this moment. The next moment, a name appeared in his mind -

Shinichiro Miki.

"Fuck, please don't try to turn the corner in the gutter!"
