"The place you are currently in, commonly referred to as the 'Newbie Village', the first step you should take is to go find the village chief and get some equipment."
Wang Xiaole is now playing the role of the mother. Anyone who has played that kind of game knows:
In the opening scene, the protagonist is awakened by their mother while sleeping in bed, and then the latter says:
"Today is the first day of becoming an adventurer, hurry up and get ready..."
The role he plays serves such a purpose.
If there were other choices, Isabella would never accompany the mischief, but now she can only act according to the other party's instructions.
The hero left the extremely rudimentary hut and headed towards the key character who drives the plot - the village chief!
There were no residential houses along the way, or rather, no residential houses on the "building level";
On both sides of the village road, there were only bold white fonts with the words "residential house" inscribed;
The children running around the surroundings also presented simple outline drawings, just like the style of stick figures.
"This is too perfunctory!"
If Wang Xiaole's created illusion can be likened to a large-scale online game world, then its version is the "closed beta version";
As everyone knows, the closed beta version is definitely inferior in all aspects compared to the open beta version.
In the area of the village's three-way intersection, a tall figure stood, facing away from Isabella's direction, with hands folded as if waiting for someone.
Under the sunlight, which cast a golden border around her, she had a strand of white hair at the corner of her temple, stroking the shining silver,
As if a former hero who once roamed the battlefield in his youth and retired as he grew older, concealing his own aura with the title of village chief.
Isabella couldn't help but stand straight for that figure and couldn't help but exclaim:
"Finally, I have met someone who is not a simple outline drawing!"
She walked over, not playfully patting the other person's back, but letting out a solemn shout, which made the surrounding wind stop spinning:
"Are you the village chief?"
The person in front sighed, turned slowly with a sense of facing fate, and raised his right hand.
"You thought the village chief was a new character... Actually, it's a familiar old friend!"
This person removed the headgear that could easily be mistaken for white hair and raised his head to reveal his true face, without needing an explanation to know who it was;
Just one look at that face that looked like it deserved a beating, and Isabella's blood pressure instantly rose.
"Why is it you again!"
"Otherwise? Everything in this world is created based on the images I envisioned in my mind;
You should know that seriously imagining the facial features of a character is a task that requires a lot of brain cells;
Therefore, the role of village chief is still played by me as a friendly gesture."
Many truths often come to mind in a moment of inspiration, like Isabella thinking now:
She, who had expectations for this world, was a fool.
"Well, let's not waste time. Young hero, are you here to request exclusive weapons?"
"Isn't that the responsibility of you, the village chief? Hurry up and bring it out, Your Majesty... I'm still waiting to go defeat the Demon King."
Isabella felt that the self-proclaimed "Your Majesty" didn't quite match the surrounding environment, so she decided to switch back to a regular title;
In terms of details, she was quite particular.
"Young people with such courage, the village chief is very pleased. Considering the time issue, I won't let you gradually improve your equipment quality, I'll give you the ultimate weapon from the beginning!"
Wang Xiaole, as the village chief, clasped his hands together, and an irregularly shaped sphere of light appeared in Isabella's hand, taking on its fixed form the moment she gripped it in her palm.
This weapon was square and sturdy, with a heavy and simple appearance that couldn't hide its terrifying killing power;
No matter in which world, it was the necessary weapon for people to cause trouble and fight, surpassing all other weapons;
It is!
"A brick. Village chief, are you on the side of the Demon King? By giving out this kind of equipment, are you hoping for the hero to be killed by low-level monsters as soon as they leave the village?"
"Don't like it? The heroes of this generation are not good. They pick and choose. Thinking back to the era I was in... Since you don't like it, I'll give you something else."The light adheres to the periphery of the brick and changes its shape in the dazzling halo, with its square outline quickly disappearing and then growing thicker.
What is about to appear is another "divine weapon" that has solved countless zombies and mutant monsters, representing the most advanced productivity of an era, truly achieving the integration of civilian and military use.
It is!
"A hoe, made of iron."
It is indeed a nemesis of zombies, haven't you noticed?
---How many survivors in the early days rely on a hoe to sweep away obstacles and show off in front of their companions?
It is also correct to represent advanced productivity, at least in ancient times, the dream of owning an iron hoe is a luxury for farmers.
Now, Isabella realizes that she was wrong. She only now understands that she had completely misunderstood;
The other party's attitude towards her was not perfunctory at all. How could she have such an outrageous idea?
The village chief has been carrying out the task entrusted by the Evil King from the beginning, successfully infiltrating the ranks of the heroes, and has been doing an excellent job as an undercover agent diligently and conscientiously!
