Main Quest

"Yixi, have you logged into Godfall Continent yet? It's truly magical, like another world entirely!"

"Yixi, let's add each other as friends. My ID is..."

Yun Xi didn't say much, directly opening the game system and adding Tu Jiaojiao as a friend.

"It's just a shame that we can only top up 648 yuan per day. I wish I could add more," Tu Jiaojiao complained a little, not that she lacked money.

"Since it's a real world, there must be limitations. Jiaojiao, be careful in the game. I've been logged in for a few hours, and the atmosphere inside feels unusual. There should be danger," Yun Xi reminded her.

"Oh, it's a game, of course, there will be monster-slaying and quests!" Tu Jiaojiao replied.

"Jiaojiao, have you ever thought that we've entered the game with our own bodies? If we get injured or even die..."

Tu Jiaojiao froze for a moment. She wasn't foolish and understood Yun Xi's meaning.

"Yixi, I'll be careful. You should be careful too."

"Mhm, don't push yourself. If you encounter danger, just log off immediately."

This was considered a new player benefit. During the test server period, players weren't restricted from logging off during combat, which was one of the most important life-saving measures for their Blue Star people at this time.

At the same time, Yu Jinxiang also sent a similar message. Yun Xi added her as a friend and gave her a few instructions.

After chatting with the two, it was almost 6 PM.

Yun Xi put on the Coarse Cloth Robe gifted by the game and logged in.

That familiar sense of disorientation flashed through her, and when she came to her senses, she was back in the small wooden hut on Godfall Continent.

A ray of white light gradually rose in the sky. Yun Xi's return coincided perfectly with the dawn.

She got up and opened the door. The eerie darkness of the village at night had dissipated, replaced by bright sunlight.

Compared to the hurried glance from last night, Yun Xi could now clearly see the entire novice village.

Aside from six scattered small wooden huts, there was only a bonfire in the center that was gradually extinguishing, and around the huts, about four square meters of farmland, and a well.

Seeing the four square meters of farmland, Yun Xi's eyes lit up.

She had now become a Sorcerer, and in her eyes, Spiritual Energy could already manifest.

Yun Xi clearly saw the spirit array covering the farmland, which could prevent contamination by Strange Energy.

For a novice village, this was extremely rare.

This meant that there was an Array Master in this village, at least a Sorcerer of level 10 or above, whose control over Spiritual Energy could set up a spirit array to prevent contamination.

For Yun Xi, this was also a good thing.

A powerful Sorcerer was willing to guard such a small village. Regardless of the reason, Yun Xi's safety in the early stages was guaranteed to some extent.

Not to mention the resources that person possessed. Although Yun Xi wouldn't use a huge amount of currency to buy the other party's supplies, given their status, they would surely know the route to the nearest town, which was the most important thing for Yun Xi.

Godfall Continent was almost boundless, and the distances between villages were very far.

The wilderness was too dangerous. Without a specific route, no one dared to go out.

To get to a large town, one could only ask the elders in the village or find their own way.

"Adventurer, you're awake?"

While she was thinking, the middle-aged man who had been responsible for arranging Yun Xi last night walked over.

Yun Xi nodded.

"Come with me. I'll take you to see the village chief."

Yun Xi followed him to the most exquisite small wooden hut in the center of the village.

"Adventurer, you can go in yourself. The village chief is already waiting for you inside."

Yun Xi knocked on the door.

"Come in," a gentle voice responded from inside.

Yun Xi pushed the door open, and the scene inside met her eyes.

It had the same layout as the small wooden hut she had stayed in last night, but it was larger. The furniture inside was more exquisite, and the bed was covered with clean and delicate white bedding.

The village chief was sitting at the table, looking at her with a smile.

He was a young man with a delicate appearance and clear eyes. Only a subtle trace of age in the depths of his eyes made Yun Xi realize that he was not actually 'young'.

"Hello, dear adventurer. Welcome to Godfall Continent."

"Village Chief, hello."

"Mhm, please sit down first," the village chief said, gesturing to the seat opposite him.

Yun Xi did as she was told.

"Adventurer, you've seen it too. Our village is very small, and the village's resources are stretched thin. If you want to settle down here, I'm afraid..."

The village chief was practically saying that the village couldn't afford to keep her.

"Village Chief, you can just say whatever you want to say," Yun Xi didn't know what his arrangement was. After all, she didn't know much about the Shuyu Plains. Was he planning to send her away?

"What I mean is, the village doesn't support idle people. If you want to stay, you'll have to join the village's night watch team."

After joining the night watch team, the village will provide you with daily food, be responsible for formulating your cultivation plan, and a master will teach you basic martial arts. If you have a talent for sorcery, I will personally teach you."

"If you wish to leave, I will be going to Qinglan Town next month, and I can take you with me. Of course, you will have to find your own food for this month."

[Ding, Main Quest One has been activated:

Please choose to stay or leave.

Quest Completion Reward: 10 Copper Coins.

Quest Failure Penalty: None.]

Hearing the notification that the main quest had been activated, a knowing glint flashed in Yun Xi's eyes. As expected, the main quests for refugees and official players were different.

She remembered that the main quest for refugees was simply to survive, with a reward of one copper coin for each day survived, until the refugee status disappeared.

However, official players were completely different; a simple choice yielded a reward of 10 copper coins.

"Village Chief, if I choose to stay, can I still leave later?"

"Yes, but you will need to pay a certain fee, or work in the village for ten full years."

Yun Xi frowned slightly. The rules in Shuyu Plains were completely different from where she was in her previous life.

The Village Chief's intention was clear: joining the night watch team meant enjoying resources in advance, and leaving required paying a corresponding price.

"I understand. I choose to leave."

If Yun Xi didn't have the Inheritance Crystal, she might have chosen to stay and, with her sorcery talent, become a student of this Village Chief, who was at least a level 10 sorcerer.

But she clearly didn't need his guidance.

Moreover, the first internal test only lasted ten days, and she could only stay in the village for ten days this month.

The second internal test would be around the same time next month, coinciding with the Village Chief's trip to Qinglan Town.

[Ding, Main Quest One has been completed. Reward of 10 Copper Coins obtained and automatically deposited into your system account.]

After receiving Yun Xi's answer, the Village Chief's expression did not change at all.

"Mm, you may go back. You do not need to pay rent for the small wooden cabin you are currently living in."

Yun Xi wasn't short on money, but she was pleasantly surprised by this statement; it was a unique benefit.
