Forest cabin, underground supply storage room.
Half an hour has passed since the integration package was loaded.
Just after 8 o'clock, Jack called Keqing.
The two of them had a simple breakfast, and then went to the basement to select supplies and prepare for their journey.
Jack is ready to expand the map.
In the Dragon Adventure integration pack, players have their own large map and even a satellite-like biome radar.
However, the unexplored areas appeared black, and he had to step on them before he could observe them.
So the teleportation anchor point I bought earlier came in handy.
Jack's initial estimate was to place a transmission anchor point approximately every 50 kilometers.
This distance is not fixed and is based on the possibility of encountering special terrain such as villages and temples. It is possible to place two or three teleportation anchors within 10 kilometers.
"Bread, baked fish, iron blocks, iron felt, cobblestones, wooden boards... well, that's about it."
"How are things going over there, Ah Qing?"
"Hmm...wait a minute, I'm a little unsure what to bring."
Keqing's voice sounded distressed.
Jack moved closer and saw her wielding two swords.
"The Dragon Bone Sword has one more attack point than the Diamond Sword, and its durability is also higher. What's there to worry about?"
"Of course! Ah Qu, don't you think the sparkling diamond sword looks beautiful? The dragon bone sword is powerful, but it always emits a corpse-like elemental reaction, which is a bit unacceptable."
Jack was stunned for a moment, then opened the elemental vision as Keqing instructed.
Buzz!
The green grass elemental force passed by, and the ordinary bone sword in the field of vision changed drastically.
A strange dark red aura lingered above the silver-grey sword, and the illusory flame alone gave people a burning sensation, as if it had been cursed by some powerful creature.
"What is that? The resentment left behind after the dragon's death?"
Keqing turned around and looked at him in confusion: "Aqu, didn't you say you played this game before and didn't experience this situation before?"
Jack shook his head. "No... But if the Dragon Bone Sword is cursed by a dead dragon, then if we appear before other dragons with the sword, will it be considered a provocation?"
"Well, probably."
Keqing thought about it from another perspective and felt that if someone held a sword made of human spine in front of her, she would probably subconsciously regard the other person as an enemy.
Jack frowned slightly.
When I was playing the game, I never thought that these "text" settings would be so tricky.
But this is not a reason for him to give up the Dragon Bone series of weapons.
Although the Dragon Bone Sword (8 attack) cannot be used now, when you are able to hunt dragons later, the benefits of the Dragon Flame Bone Blood Sword (9.5 attack) or even the Dragon Flame Steel Sword (26 attack) will far outweigh the risks.
"I bought a lot of enchantment books before. A diamond sword with sharpness IV (7+2.5) should be enough for the early stages. Ah Qing, you can use this until you get a way to maintain Mist Slash."
Jack was glad that he had not enchanted the dragon bone sword just for the 1 point increase in attack power.
Although the Dragonbone Sword is as strong as a Netherite Sword, having a built-in taunt is not a good attribute.
After checking the supplies, Jack took Keqing to the grocery store and bought 6 teleportation anchors. After using one to install in the forest cabin, there were 7 left.
After a round of shopping, I also sold the wheat harvested today.
The world currency balance is 7,300 coins.
Around 10 o'clock.
In front of the cabin in the woods.
Jack solemnly closed the arched door and looked up at the distant sky.
"Let's go, Aqing, let's go see the world!"
...
The sun is high in the sky.
But not hot.
On an unknown road, Jack and Keqing walked together, heading east along the birch forest.
Just as the two found a small lake and were about to rest for a while, Keqing discovered a creature she had never seen before.
"Hey, what kind of animal is that?"
Keqing pointed at a small animal taking shelter from the heat under a large tree.
It was a reptile that looked similar to a lizard, with six scaly legs, horns, and a red body.
"It's a small dragon. After killing it, you can obtain inferior meat. The satiety level is between chicken and beef."
"Inferior meat, indeed. This monster doesn't look very strong."
Keqing's martial arts skills have been neglected for a long time, and she has been eager to try since she learned that she was going to go out on an adventure.
The unknown monster at the moment is just right to serve as an appetizer.
Jack understood and raised his hand to give her an elemental combat skill.
[Nature's Blessing: Increases the target's attack speed and continuously deals a certain amount of grass elemental damage to the target's surrounding area. When the target triggers the Intensification, Spreading Intensification, or Super Intensification reaction, the attack speed increase effect is doubled.]
A flash of green light passed above Keqing's head, and she felt her body lighten a little.
With a move of his feet, he jumped four or five meters.
"drink!"
A delicate cry was heard.
Three or four sword lights fell almost at the same time, and the red lizard with its eyes wide open and dull was cut into several pieces.
Then a white light appeared, and the lizard's body disappeared, leaving behind a few pieces of meat that looked like tail meat.
"Hiss~"
Seeing that the situation was not good, the lizard's companions quickly fled.
However, facing the murderous Keqing, they could only wait to be killed.
In a short while, they followed in the footsteps of their companions and turned into pieces of inferior meat on the ground.
Keqing collected them and walked in front of Jack.
"Just like cattle and sheep, they become processed meat directly after being killed. However, the texture of the meat is indeed different from that of ordinary animals. Is it really edible?"
"It should be fine if it's cooked."
While the two were discussing whether to roast a few to try, there was a movement in the bushes not far away.
"Watch out! It's a pretty big guy."
Jack immediately stood in front of Keqing, ready to use his shield at any time.
Rustling.
"roar?"
A cute head popped out from the grass.
It's a brown bear.
Behind the brown bear, two more little bears emerged.
"Hey, this one is cuter than the previous one, it's so furry."
Keqing stared at the two little bears with shining eyes.
"roar!"
As if sensing a threat from her, the mother bear roared and stared at Keqing with fear in her eyes.
"Brown bear, a neutral creature with about 40 HP. Untamable. In the original game, in peaceful mode, it will attack those carrying the Ring of the Seven Curses, but will not cause any harm."
Having said that, Jack looked at the brown bear's sharp fangs and felt that no one would be willing to try to see if the fangs could pierce their skin.
"This world has already gone beyond the trajectory of the original game. If you really want, Qing, you can also try to tame them."
"Okay, I'll try!"
Keqing held the weapon in her left hand, flipped her right hand, and took out a piece of cooked beef.
The aroma of cooked meat immediately spread.
The two brown bears, one big and two small, sniffed.
In the end, he gave up the temptation of delicious food and walked towards Keqing.
With the comfort of Gongqucao's elemental power and the provision of food.
A few minutes later.
The brown bears let down their guard and ate the cooked steaks that they couldn't usually eat. Keqing also went straight to the table and stroked the bears' soft fur.
"Roar~"
After finishing her meal, the mother bear gave a friendly cry.
"My grass elemental power's ability to sense emotions tells me it's expressing friendliness. Aqing, do you want to try to tame one?"
Keqing shook her head.
"If I take one of the little bears away, the other one will feel lonely."
"Little Bear doesn't have such complicated emotions."
"I think so, no, it will definitely happen!"
Keqing suddenly grabbed Jack's hand and spoke seriously.
Um?
Jack felt sympathy and sadness from Keqing's emotions, and the object was himself.
He smiled helplessly and scratched Keqing's nose.
"Sentimental Miss Keqing, are you making random associations again? I've already said I don't really care about my time as an orphan in my previous life."
"You're lying! I often see you looking at the moon with a sentimental expression at night."
That's the sage's time after hard work! Never mind, it doesn't explain it at all.
Jack was a little overwhelmed by Keqing's sudden surge of maternal love.
Think for a long time.
He gave her a deep kiss and swallowed all of Keqing's emotions.
Bear: These two are already stacked together, do I still need to continue acting cute and begging for food?
