Trembling At A High Altitude

Chapter 858

"You got an old alloy crossbow."

"Attack power: 5-9."

"Note: It can be refurbished at the blacksmith shop. After renovation, the attack power will be increased."

"You got the mission item: the body of the master blacksmith."

After wandering around the canyon for a long time and finding nothing else of value, Li Teng left the canyon with everyone else, carrying the blacksmith master's body.

After returning to the town, Li Teng handed over the task to the blacksmith.

As promised, the blacksmith taught Li Teng a combat skill: shield charge.

"Shield Charge: When you hold a shield-type equipment in your hand, activate this skill to form a forward collision attack, causing a stun effect. The cooldown time is five seconds."

The alloy crossbow was given to the blacksmith and asked to help refurbish it, but a certain amount of compensation was required.

Li Teng had accumulated some gold coins from blacksmithing and killing zombies, which was enough to pay for the renovation.

In addition, he also purchased some alloy crossbow arrows from the blacksmith.

After learning a skill and getting a long-range weapon, Li Teng gained a lot this time, and his character's strength also improved a lot.

Others are very envious. The protagonist is the protagonist. He was stronger than them when he first came in, and now the strength gap between him and them has widened.

The characters of Yang Yun and Zhou Miaomiao who were locked in iron cages no longer roared like zombies like before, but they still have not returned to normal humans.

Their player characters came to life on the panel, and their identity was no longer human, but became an 'infected person'.

There is also a progress bar next to it: "Alienation in progress..."

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse, but looking at the progress bar, it won’t end until at least tomorrow, so now I can only wait.

It was getting dark in the game, and after the players wandered around the town for a while, they logged off and left the game cabin together.

Although Zhou Miaomiao and Yang Yun both looked a little gray today, Yang Yun did not encounter any of the bizarre accidents yesterday, which finally made her feel at ease.

At night, Yang Yun stopped staying in Li Teng's room, and Li Fu moved back to Li Teng's room.

"Senior, if you think I am in the way, just tell me and I will give up the room at any time." Li Fucai said to Li Teng when he moved back.

"You're thinking too much." Li Teng was annoyed.

Is he that kind of person? He is a responsible and good man. Even if a woman throws herself into his arms, he will not indulge himself easily.

…

"By the way, senior, I received a strange mission in the game today."

Late at night, when he was about to fall asleep, Li Fu locked the door and approached Li Teng with a mysterious expression on his face.

"oh?"

"It's like this. When I was walking around the town, I met a strange NPC in a relatively secret place. He was wearing a black robe, and his style was completely different from other town NPCs.

"I was wondering if there would be a special mission, so I went over to give it a try. After he asked me to answer some questions, he actually gave me a mission.

"However, this mission is very bizarre."

Li Fu stopped here.

"Why is it so weird?" Li Teng expressed some interest.

"He gave me a mission map and marked the mission location. I was confused when I saw the map. It was not the area where the town was located at all! It was...

"Later, he said he imported the mission map into my mobile phone and asked me to check the specific location on my mobile phone.

"As a result, the map was actually imported into my mobile phone! Moreover, the mission location is not in the game, but in the city we are in now!"

Li Fucai took out his mobile phone and shared the mission and mission map with Li Teng.

"Interesting, AR mode?" Li Teng looked at it, and sure enough, the mission location was the city where they were now.

"The NPC also said that this task is a bit difficult and can only be completed by two players at most. I guess I can't do it alone. I wonder if the senior is interested?" Li Fucai mentioned it to Li Teng.

"Okay, let me try." Li Teng opened the task shared by Li Fucai on his phone and checked it out.

"I asked him what the mission reward was, and he only said that the mission reward was very generous. After completing it, you can receive a reward package in the game. He refused to go into details. Then he disappeared from my character." Li Fucai continued to talk to Li Teng.

"Let's go to the mission location now and have a look." Li Teng had nothing to do, so he might as well finish the mission at night.

The two left the room, exited the community, stopped a car at the entrance of the community, and asked the car to take them to the location marked with the mission.

It was almost eleven o'clock at night, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

Twenty minutes later, the taxi arrived on the street near the mission site. The two got out of the car, used their mobile phones to navigate the map and walked towards the mission site.

This is the old part of the city. Everything looks dilapidated and messy. There is a strange smell of garbage in the alleyways, and there are no pedestrians.

After turning left and right in the alleyway, the two finally arrived at the place marked with the mission location.

It's a beef restaurant.

The rolling shutter door of the Nian Meat Restaurant was half closed, and it seemed to have closed.

Moreover, the other facades in the lane where the beef restaurant is located are closed, and there are no pedestrians passing by, making this beef restaurant seem a bit awkward.

It's impossible for a normal person to open a beef restaurant here, right?

Standing outside the beef restaurant, you can't smell the aroma of beef or beef soup, only the strong smell of blood.

Their mobile phones dinged! ’ There was a sound, but the mission inside was updated.

"The first step of the mission: Enter the beef restaurant in front of you and order a plate of raw beef from the boss.

“Task time: half an hour;

"Every kilogram of raw beef eaten within half an hour increases the basic attribute strength by 1 point."

The two couldn't help but look at each other looking at this task.

"Senior, do you want to do it?" Li Fucai asked Li Teng.

Li Teng frowned and hesitated without answering.

Li Fucai didn't ask any more questions.

"Let's do it." Li Teng made a decision after thinking for a long time.

The man in black is probably a hidden NPC in the game. You must know that these basic attribute points are difficult to improve in the game. After hammering for a whole day, you may only increase one point of strength. Also, when you upgrade, you will get several free attribute points.

But it will become more and more difficult to upgrade later.

The reward of increasing one point of strength attribute by eating a pound of raw beef is still very tempting.

What hasn't he eaten? In the past, when he couldn't find food in some script worlds, he even ate the bugs dug up from the ground raw, not to mention the mere raw beef.

The reason for his hesitation was mainly because he was thinking about whether the task of hiding the NPC was reliable.

It should be reliable.

Chapter 859

After Li Teng made his decision, the two of them got into the beef restaurant from under the rolling shutter door.

"What are you doing here? It's closed!" The boss was playing cards with two friends in the corner. When he saw the two men come in, he waved them away.

"We are here to eat beef." Li Fucai quickly said to the boss, and walked over and took out a pack of cigarettes and gave one to each of the three people.

"The stove fire has been turned off. I can't relight it for you. If you want to eat, come back tomorrow!" The boss put away the cigarette and sounded a little better, but still issued the eviction order.

"There is no need for a stove fire, we eat raw food." Li Fucai explained to the boss.

"What did you say?" The boss and his three friends looked at Li Fucai as if they were looking at aliens.

"We eat raw food and don't need a stove fire." Li Fucai could only repeat it bravely and took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket.

"That's what you said! Don't blame me if you have food problems." The boss looked at the money in Li Fucai's hand and offered it to him.

"No, you can write a disclaimer." Li Fucai laughed along.

"How many kilograms does it cost? The raw beef here costs 40 yuan per kilogram." The boss asked Li Fucai.

"How much do you want?" Li Fu looked at Li Teng behind him.

"Let's take five kilograms first, and then ask for it after eating." Li Teng thought for a while and answered Li Fucai.

The boss looked at Li Teng, then turned and walked into the back room. After a sound of chopping boards, the boss came out with a large plate of raw beef chopped into pieces and placed it on a table in the restaurant. Then he went to play cards with his friends.

It's a big plate, and the beef is still bleeding, so it looks like it should be fresh.

"Do you want too much? I think... we should try a pound first..." Li Fucai looked at the large plate of raw beef in front of him and couldn't help but feel troubled.

He had never eaten raw meat.

Li Teng glanced at him, reached out and took a pair of chopsticks from the disposable chopstick holder next to him, then picked up a piece of raw beef and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times and then swallowed it.

Then he picked up another piece.

"Is it so delicious?" Li Fucai saw that Li Teng was enjoying the food, so he picked up a piece with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

After chewing a few times, he couldn't help but lie down next to him and retched.

What the hell? How can you say it?

Li Teng continued to eat one piece after another. It was late at night and what he had eaten at night had almost been digested by his strong stomach. Now his stomach could hold a lot of food.

Moreover, he had already developed the skills of the Big Eater and had not used them for a long time.

"Ding! You have successfully eaten a pound of beef, and your strength is +1."

A prompt popped up on Li Teng's phone.

Under Li Teng's leadership, Li Fucai forced himself to start eating raw beef.

Unfortunately, until twenty minutes later, when the entire plate bottomed out, he had not received the reminder of Strength +1.

The bottom of the plate meant that Li Teng had eaten more than four kilograms of raw beef.

"Do you still want to eat?" Li Fucai asked Li Teng unwillingly.

He has eaten about seven or eight taels now. It would be uneconomical to give up. No matter what, he has to eat another two taels, otherwise the previous ones will be in vain.

"Three more pounds." Li Teng shouted to the boss.

The boss looked here, said nothing, put down the cards in his hand, went to the back room to chop some more, and then came over with a large plate of raw beef.

Li Fucai reluctantly ate some more. After receiving a reminder on his phone that his strength had increased by 1 point, he said he would eat no more.

Li Teng continued to eat crazily. Although he was almost exhausted and looked like he would vomit at any time, he still continued to persevere.

Finally, Li Teng hurriedly finished the second plate of raw beef before the task time ended.

After eating, Li Teng held his belly in his hands and tried several times but couldn't stand up.

Just as Li Fu was about to help him, Li Teng was lying on the table trying to vomit.

'Ding! ’

Another beep came from the phone.

"Ding! If the vomiting mission will fail, the reward will be cancelled."

Li Teng quickly swallowed back the raw beef that he almost spit out.

"Ding! If you eat cooked beef, you can complete the task."

He added another sentence on the phone.

"Grass!"

The two cursed together.

"Senior, your stomach didn't explode?" Li Fucai felt uncomfortable for Li Teng just looking at it.

"Add 7 points of strength attribute." Li Teng suppressed an ugly smile on his face.

Anyway, it's worth it.

As for eating cooked beef, there was no such reminder at the beginning of the mission. Who knows if the mission NPC will cheat?

This is just deliberately teasing them.

"Ding! The first ring mission has been completed. You have received a reward of 7 strength attribute points. The rewards will be issued after the entire mission is completed. If you give up the subsequent missions now, the rewards for this mission will also be withdrawn.

"Do you want to continue the mission of the second ring?"

Several more lines of prompts popped up on the phone.

"Grass!"

The two cursed together again.

Isn’t this too confusing?

If the following tasks are too difficult to complete, wouldn't all the raw beef be eaten in vain?

We’ve reached this point, it’s impossible to give up, right?

Otherwise, the raw beef will really be in vain.

The two gritted their teeth and chose to continue the second round of tasks.

"Senior, brother, I really didn't know this mission was so tricky, otherwise I wouldn't have taken it." Li Fucai said to Li Teng apologetically.

I originally wanted to please my seniors, but ended up tricking them all together.

"It's okay." Li Teng shook his head.

The two paid the beef restaurant owner and settled the bill, and then Li Fu helped Li Teng out of the beef restaurant and into the alley outside.

'Ding! ’

The phone rang.

The two of them looked at their phones together. The mission for the second ring was released.

The specific content is unknown, and they need to go to the mission location first.

The two returned to the street outside and called a taxi with their mobile phones. After waiting for more than ten minutes, a driver came to pick them up and drove them to the mission location in the second ring.

The mission location of the second ring is in the middle of the Yangtze River Bridge.

The two of them talked it over and gave the driver an extra 100 yuan before letting the driver pull over in the middle of the bridge. They quickly got out of the car and stood by the guardrail.

Their mobile phones dinged! ’ There was a sound, and the mission inside was updated.

"The second part of the mission: take off all your clothes and jump off the bridge.

"If you don't fall to death, you can get a 3-point increase in basic attribute agility."

Li Teng looked at the river below, which seemed to be forty or fifty meters long.

"Holy crap! If you jump from such a height, you will be seriously injured even if you hit the water!" Li Fucai looked at the river below in horror.

Moreover, the weather is still relatively cold now. If you jump in naked, you will be frozen and unable to swim to the shore!

Li Teng gritted his teeth and began to take off his clothes.
