Online Games: I Met a Mysterious Old Man

31 Beast Tide

"Yes, yes! A tide of monsters! A huge wave of monsters is coming to the pasture!"

"I'll go right away!"

Chen Xing is ready to leave.

"Would you like to?"

Jericho asked.

"Of course, I'm leaving first."

"Thank you very much."

Then, a prompt message popped up in front of Chen Xing's eyes.

[Attention, you have accepted the "Rescue Operation" mission! 】

Task content:

【Rescue Operation】

Category:General tasks

Safely return the workers of Bukti Ranch who were expelled by mutated creatures to Berman Manor.

Progress: 0%

Completion reward: 50 gold

Note: If the number of people rescued is less than 5, the mission will be judged as failed.

The reward of 50 gold is quite good.

Currently, the price of one gold coin at the trading post is about 300 soft sister coins, and the price of 50 gold coins is about 15,000 soft sister coins.

"I will try to recruit as many adventurers and mercenaries as I know."

Jericho said quickly.

"Go to the city and report this to the city lord."

"Understood, I will go to the city immediately to report this matter to the city lord."

The hunter quickly ran towards the city lord's mansion.

"Next, are you okay?"

Jericho asked Chen Xing.

"Of course no problem."

In Chen Xing's eyes, the beast tide is just here to provide him with experience points.

Save yourself the trouble of wandering around in the wild looking for beasts and monsters.

Of course, in the eyes of many NPCs, the beast tide must be a disaster.

"Then you go first, and I will send out the follow-up team as soon as possible."

Chen Xing nodded.

"Be careful."

Jericho instructed.

"I know that you adventurers are immortal to a certain extent, but death must also be painful. Of course, I have not experienced death yet, so I don't know what death feels like."

"Thank you for your concern."

Chen Xing smiled at Jericho, then left the mercenary union and headed to Bukti's ranch.

However, Chen Xing also murmured a little in his heart, what was going on with the beast tide caused by the sudden mutant creatures? He had never heard of this kind of situation before, and besides, beast tides caused by mutant creatures were very rare.

...

The pasture we came to again was completely different from before.

At this time, this place seems to be purgatory on earth.

"Ahhhhh!"

"Help me!"

"Help us!"

Ranch workers and maids were running around, covered in blood.

Fortunately, they are all still alive.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Ho ho ho!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch"

"Moo moo"

The cows, sheep and pigs in the pasture are also running around.

Blood soaked the green grass.

It's really a terrible sight.

"this?"

Chen Xing looked at the number of mutated creatures with some surprise.

From mutated rabbits and squirrels, to mutated wolves, mutated leopards, etc.

It is estimated that there are nearly a hundred species of mutated creatures attacking the ranch.

"It's very unusual."

Chen Xing muttered.

What caused this wave of beasts?

Time is urgent now, and Chen Xing doesn't have much time to think carefully.

Workers are in danger.

Chen Xing quickly entered the ranch and began to help the maids and workers who were fleeing.

"I'm stopping here, you guys should run away to a safe place."

"Understood, thank you."

Chen Xing is too busy at the ranch.

There are too many mutant creatures!

Toot toot!

About 20 mutated bison appeared out of nowhere, and the ranch was on the verge of collapse.

Chen Xing felt a little tired.

Currently, his level is too low and the range of his skills is not far away.

Facing so many mutated creatures, it is beyond our reach.

You can only stand at the end of the crowd to block the creatures that are preparing to attack the crowd.

At this moment, several prompt messages popped up in front of Chen Xing's eyes.

[Berman Manor’s favorability towards you is 10]

[Due to favorable comments from locals, Berman Manor’s reputation is 10]

This is the mechanism of bnw. When an adventurer helps an NPC, the NPC's favorability will increase and his reputation in the local area will also rise.

The effects of favorability and fame are simple.

If you have a very high affinity with a certain NPC, or you have a high reputation in the local area, you will get very useful information from the NPCs here.

A lot of unique information can only be obtained with high favorability and high fame.

Moreover, the higher your reputation, the more mission options you will get in the local area.

This is also true in reality.

...

Fortunately, the retreat seems to have been successful.

Chen Xing felt that he had reached his limit again.

If it weren't for the timely support of the troops from the Berman Manor who came to support, Chen Xing might not have been able to continue to persevere.

This army of about 200 people appeared in time and stopped the mutant monsters from advancing to attack the crowd.

Chen Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Xing

Health: 10%.

His health is below 10% again.

This kind of health value is actually quite dangerous.

【The level has been improved!】

【Current level 12!】

【The level has been improved!】

【Current level 13!】

【The level has been improved!】

【Current level 14!】

He was promoted to three levels at once.

While covering the retreat of workers and maids, Chen Xing killed a large number of mutated creatures and gained a large amount of experience points.

In addition, he also successfully completed the mission [Rescue Operation].

[Note: You have successfully completed the [Rescue Operation] mission (rescuing 11 people in total)]

[Reminder: Go to the Mercenary Guild Jericho to receive the reward.]

Although it consumes a lot of money, it is still a good mission.

Level up and complete tasks to get a lot of gold coins.

But, what exactly caused this wave of mutated creatures?

Animal tamer?

Is it possible that the animal trainer did it?

Chen Xing doesn't know.

Beast tamers are a relatively rare profession, and Chen Xing has never heard of any beast tamers who specifically tame mutant creatures to attack other people.

However, when I thought of this, this idea suddenly appeared in my mind.

Putting down his thoughts, Chen Xing decided to take a good rest first.

After three hours of continuous fighting, from Bukti Ranch to the vicinity of Berman Manor.

Protecting the retreat of the ranch workers and maids was a real drain on physical and mental energy.

"Sign out"

Chen Xing logged out of the game and prepared to take a good rest.

...

About three hours later.

Chen Xing reconnects with the game.

"Finally I see you again, Chen Xing."

Jericho from the Mercenary Guild came to Chen Xing's hotel in the lower tower.

"This seems to be a big thing. Mutated creatures are constantly coming in."

"Still?"

"Yes, the city lord has issued a mobilization order for the entire territory. It seems that this time it will not be easy..."

"So serious..."

"I need your help, adventurer."

Jericho looked at Chen Xing seriously and said.

"Our Berman Manor is isolated from the world and relatively remote. If we request external power, it will take at least a week. We do not have advanced magic such as magic teleportation array here, so..."

"Of course no problem."

"Will you help us?"

"certainly."

"Okay, thank you. I will report this to my superiors and you will get the reward you deserve."

Immediately afterwards, a prompt message appeared in front of Chen Xing's eyes.
