Chapter Twenty-Eight: Old Bard
Moxi's body was left to be disposed of by Harlock, and Chen Bing did not rush to leave the village to find Old Bard.
If the players who killed Moxie knew about Old Bard, Old Bard was dead now, so there was no need to rush it.
Walking around the village, Chen Bing learned life skills such as "logging", "gathering", and "fishing" from NPC villagers.
[Logging (beginner): Cutting trees to obtain wood, because the craftsmanship is not perfect, the quality of the wood is average, and it will consume a lot of physical strength. γ
[Gathering (Beginner): You can collect materials such as wild herbs, and you can also collect fur from beast corpses, but as a beginner, there is a good chance of failure and damage to the collected objects. γ
γFishing (Beginner): Very simple skill, but it is not easy to master, before you start fishing, you must first have a fishing rod, a good fishing rod can make you catch better fish. γ

The level of life skills in the game of "Evolution Island" is different from that in most games, and both learning and leveling up require NPCs to teach. There are also relatively few levels, with only four levels: "Beginner", "Skilled", "Mastery", and "Extreme".
Players need to use boats to travel from one island to another, and most of the wood and planks used by ships can only be obtained by relying on logging skills.
Monsters in the game do not drop money, but they are not without currency, players can do quests to obtain trading currency, and they can also use various materials obtained by life skills to sell to merchants in the village.
The ordinary plank materials obtained by beginner logging skills cannot be compared with those obtained by Chen Bing on the beach, and ordinary planks are very lucky to move on the sea, and if you are not careful, the boat will capsize, and the whole boat player will end it in one pot.
In contrast, the planks on the beach are of excellent quality, and they are not dangerous in the event of a strong storm.
That's why so many people are buying planks near the entrance to the village.
The planks obtained by Chen Bing are enough to build a ship, but no one can have too many skills, and it will not be wrong to learn more self-defense.

Harlock had already informed Chen Bing of the exact location of Old Bard, and not long after Chen Bing left the village, he found Old Bard in a large pale yellow orchard to the north.
Old Bard was dressed as a woodcutter, and when Chen Bing came, Old Bard wore a brown sweat towel on his shoulder, sat on a hoe and smoked dry tobacco, and it was completely impossible to tell from his appearance that he was still a literary researcher.
"Adventurers again? There's a mutated bear wreaking havoc in my orchard, and if you can help me kill it, I'll give you some silver and fruit in return. β
[System: Do you accept the quest 'Kill the Mutant Bear'?] γ
Chen Bing walked over, and before he could say anything, Old Bard dropped a task and came over.
Tsk, it's rare for NPCs to be so active.
The tasks in the village are all paid for copper coins, and as soon as Old Bard opens his mouth, it is a silver coin, and the fruits sent will not only restore life, but also come with some other small effects, and the reward is definitely not low.
However, Chen Bing didn't want to think about it, so he chose to refuse.
Old Bard looked up at Chen Bing unexpectedly, and when the other adventurers saw this task, they excitedly took it and left.
He didn't want to accept it, but he didn't see any of it.
"Mr. Bud, I came to you for something else, I wonder if you have this box?"
Chen Bing took out the wooden box containing the fragments of Bourne's diary and handed it to Old Bard.
"What is this? Haven't seen it! Old Bard glanced at it and frowned.
Pit, it can really be loaded! I didn't know your details in advance, and I really lied to you!
"Moxi, he's dead!"
Old Bard had already stood up and was about to leave, and Chen Bing said fiercely.
"What did you say?" Old Bard immediately turned around and looked at Chen Bing with sharp eyes.
"Moxie was killed by someone I don't know, and Harlock told me about you, and he told me to come to you."
"Humph! He had already warned him not to have anything to do with that guy in Bohn, that guy was by no means a good guy! It's okay now, even my own life has been put into it! Old Bard said with annoyance, not knowing why.
"Mr. Bud, I wonder if you can tell me more about Beaune. I'm here to investigate the mutation of monsters, and it seems that the matter has a lot to do with Bohn, and that's why Moxie was killed. β
The old guy finally opened his mouth to show his tone, and of course Chen Bing would not miss the opportunity, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"I don't know much about that guy in Beaune, it's just some hearsay. It's okay if you want me to answer your question, but if you don't have the strength to get too deep, you will only end up in a dead end. In my orchard, there is not only a mutant giant bear, but also an even more powerful mutant demon tree, you must get rid of them at least today before you can prove that you have a little self-preservation. Kill them, and you come back to me, and until then, I won't answer any more questions from you. Old Bard thought about it and issued two tasks to Chen Bing in one go.
[System: You accept the mission "Kill the Mutant Giant Bear"!] γ
[System: You accept the mission "Kill the Mutant Demon Tree"!] γ
"Okay, Mr. Bud, please wait for my good news!"
These two tasks are certainly not easy, but Chen Bing is in good spirits.
After killing so many wolves on the beach, he was already close to reaching level 6 with 1 point of evolution energy.
It's just that if he devours the leader of the jungle wolf again, the attributes obtained are too low, and Chen Bing is unwilling.
It's not for the sake of equipping level 5 adventurer equipment, Chen Bing doesn't even want to upgrade level 5.
The mutant giant bear and the mutant demon tree, these two monsters are at least the boss level, kill and devour their corpses, he can upgrade two levels in a row, and his attributes can also increase again.
"Roar!"
There were a lot of red, green, and green fruits growing in the orchard, and Chen Bing walked into the depths of the orchard in the midst of the colors, and soon heard a roar like a show of power.
It was the roar of a giant bear.
"Run!"
"Damn, that's a! The skin of this mutant giant bear is so thick that the attack can't even break the defense, kill it! β
"Grass! No wonder those guys gloated when they saw us before, knowing that we were going to make a joke! β
"Withdraw! Evacuate! Otherwise, it's all here! β
Chen Bing walked over when he heard the sound, only to see a group of more than ten players, chased by a black giant bear and fleeing.
Seeing Chen Bing appear, the group of players who escaped were a little surprised, and then they simply turned in the direction and pulled the mutant giant bear towards Chen Bing.
This is going to lead the water to the east!
The world is really sinister, and a pure person like him really can't find a lantern.
Chen Bing picked up the dagger and pointed it at the players who rushed over, one dagger was one.
Of course, he is pure, and he wants to eliminate harm for the people!
These players were already beaten to the ground by the giant bear, and none of them could withstand Chen Bing's two attacks.
A group of more than ten people almost lay on the ground in the blink of an eye, and in their soul state, they looked at each other one by one, unable to understand why they were so unresistant, and they were directly killed in seconds.
After killing this group of guys who were in the way, Chen Bing and the mutant giant bear fought.
