The closer he got to the cursed black river, the more frequent the system's prompts, and David kept finding unknown footprints and hairs, and he could roughly determine the traces of werewolves by comparing them with the map. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"System Prompt: Players have discovered [Cursed Black River]."

It's purple and black again, a high-risk warning!

Looks like he's in the right place, David laughed.

When entering the Cursed Forest, the system brushed a warning, and the Cursed Black River is part of the forest map, and the prompt should not be refreshed repeatedly. There will be no danger in a river, even if there are boss-level piranhas in the water, it is safe if you don't enter the water, and the reason for the danger will only be that werewolves are active here.

Although the speculation was arbitrary, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Watch the system's introduction to the Cursed Black River: a river whose source is polluted by the vampire count.

He looked up the Cursed Black River, which was black because it was polluted by the cursed power of the vampire count, which meant that the upper end of the river was the count's lair. As a legendary creature, Dawei stayed away.

Not daring to approach upstream, he followed the river downstream for clues.

The Cursed Forest was huge, but he had a limited area to search, just follow the river. Werewolves are living beings, and their tracks are mobile, and without a fixed range of whereabouts, the player may not be able to find them for the rest of their lives.

A simple starting task is unlikely to cost players a lot of time, and from the developer's point of view, it is not conducive to the player's enjoyment of the game and will lose the potential market.

The night passed, and he found nothing along the river, the gray sky, the blood moon hiding in the clouds, the dead and dark forest, the night owl crying and the wailing of some birds, comparable to a horror movie.

Rubbing his dark eyes, Rao is used to playing games all night, and he can't stand such a boring all-nighter. Lighting a cigarette, he began to analyze the task, there was no clear clue after such a long time, it was clear that something must have gone wrong.

"The simple task of searching for clues requires players to invest a lot of time, which is not conducive to the game development market, but my brother is now doing a god-level task."

God-level missions, once completed, mean immediately embarking on the high-end route. There are thousands of players who don't want to be high-end players, but there are very few people who can become high-end players.

"From another point of view, as a part of a god-level mission, even if it is a simple starting task, the difficulty will become very high, because this is the first step on the road to high-end, and it is also a crucial step."

Dawei pondered that this situation is not non-existent, but universal. Otherwise, the balance of the game will be easily broken, so there are less than ten players who have been able to complete god-level missions so far.

The previous analysis was overturned, and now he can only continue to search along the river, taking one step at a time. Forced to endure sleepiness, a morning passed, and there was still no gain.

He simply went to sleep, woke up groggily in the evening, his head seemed to be about to explode, ate the bag of instant noodles and continued to go online.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the system message finally appeared.

"System Prompt: Player found an unknown structure!"

Here it comes! Dawei was in good spirits, and in front of a small lake formed by the river's buffer zone, a thatched hut came into view. It's not a werewolf, but the boring idle time has finally passed.

Looking at the system prompt, it is obviously a small wooden house, but the system prompts that it is an unknown building, which is worth exploring!

The house is lit with fire, which proves that it is a human habitation, and monsters will not light the lamp, ruling out the possibility of werewolves.

Could it be another super-strong man similar to the Great Sage? David wasn't sure that a lot of the logic in the game had been beyond his gaming experience so far.

Standing in front of the hut and knocking on the door, the small wooden door creaked open, and a handsome but decadent young man stood in the room.

The down-and-out prince!

Purple name!

The name is not shown, and it seems that there is indeed a connotation waiting to be discovered. Dawei's conjecture was confirmed, and the same as the great sage Diosei, the purple name, the two are the same level, at least the same level as the three-headed demon dragon. And the specific name is not displayed, indicating that the NPC is a man with a story.

The old question is again, whether the NPC in front of you is related to the quest is still unknown.

"I didn't expect humans to appear here, are they lost travelers?" The down-and-out prince's voice was hoarse, and although he was down, his aristocratic temperament was fully revealed.

Dawei said: "Friend, can you tell me what kind of place this is?" ”

If it is not related to the quest, and the NPC does have a quest on it, his way of chatting will open up a new story. That's right, special trigger quest tricks!

The downcast prince invited him to sit down, and David looked inside the room, frowning.

"I'm sorry to tell you, my friend, that this is the infamous Cursed Forest."

"Cursed Forest?" Dawei pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why are you here, friend?" ”

The prince sighed, "That starts with my story......

A prompt appears asking if you would like to learn about the Prince's story.

It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the task, but that's not a problem. Dawei did not hesitate to determine that listening is the embodiment of quality, and with the background of a prince, it is easy to gain favor for good quality performance.

Not only can you develop new plot clues in the high-end map, but also brush up on a wave of prince's favor, why not. He also noticed that after the prince began to tell, the information display of the prince's character interface also changed, but it was all inconsequential information.

He is not even a novice now, only if the god-level mission fails or succeeds, he will be officially sent into the game world, and now his information panel is a blank slate, and he can't compare the details of the prince's attribute interface to any abnormal changes.

As in most Western novels, the young prince is chosen as the king's successor, but the very good prince wants to be more powerful.

"So I came to the Cursed Forest, where it is rumored to be inhabited by a vampire Count who has the power to live forever!" Speaking of this, the prince's breathing became heavier and his mood fluctuated, "But the Count is an almost divine being, I can't get close to him, and I can't get out of this forest, trapped here by the power of the curse." ”

Vampires are undead creatures, this is common sense, relying on blood sucking to get a long life, which is equivalent to immortality. David asked, "I'm stuck here too?" ”

The prince ignored him, his breathing became more rapid, his eyes stared at him with burning eyes, and his voice trembled a little: "Friend, do you want to get the power of eternal life?" ”

I'll give it a go, the NPC asks this very deeply, is it to send my brother to the sky and become a god? He has a hunch that the plot is about to be triggered.

Players get the power of immortality, so won't the game company go bankrupt directly? With this kind of good thing, so many players don't have to worry about doing tasks, and they know that it is impossible to think about it with their toes. Dawei shook his head and said, "I still want to try, maybe I can find a way out of here, thank you for your hospitality, I am very grateful." ”

After saying that, he left the hut directly, ignoring the prince's struggling look, and there was no expected increase in favorability.

Standing in the night, he looked at the hut from afar, and there were only two words strange in his heart.

The prince was full of weirdness, and the hut where he lived had nothing, not even a bed, but an oil lamp was prepared. He longs for the power of immortality, and seems to have the intention of giving this power to others.

Weird and contradictory, as a hardcore veteran player, if he can't see that he is tired, he can delete the number and go home to farm.

"Wait and see." With such a strange NPC, David is sure that something unusual will happen, especially in a high-end map like the Cursed Forest.
