Chapter 16 The Consequence of Picking up Side Quests on the Way
The more Guo Fan thought about it, the more he felt like he was wearing a fake outfit.
“But what can I do if I don't lie to you?”
Guo Fan sighed deeply. “If I don't help Yaling, I can stay out of it. I can leave this morning with double Experience Scroll. Find a remote sect and marry an ordinary 1-star or 2-star NPC. I'll be able to live a peaceful life, and my cultivation won't be too slow. After that... I might be able to achieve something. ”
When he thought of this, he revealed a somewhat distressed expression. “But who can let the card that he painstakingly conquered marry someone else?”
Guo Fan called out his illustrated handbook interface and looked at the cards that were filled to the brim. He was satisfied.
“I want all of them!”
Guo Fan's eyes were firm. He completely understood what he was thinking right now. No matter what, his card was still his card. He must not give it to anyone else.
“So the first thing I need to do is to increase my strength!”
Similar to the countless web novels, the strength of Upper Central Realm was the most important. As long as he leveled up, there wouldn't be any problems.
“Yaling still has some time. Mao Li is really good at setting her up. Cao Dong's reputation will be ruined if he dies this time, and the Wide Ocean Sect will be in chaos for a while. As long as I can drag it out until I reach the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and above, there will be no problem for me to complete the newbie dungeon. ”
Guo Fan calculated in his heart and walked down the mountain road. Sure enough, he saw a small town under the villa.
This town was called Darkwell Town.
The place where the Frost River Manor was located was called Frightening Slopes.
The place where the Jixin Wine was hidden was called the Homeless Mountain. It was a place that belonged to the 9 Yuan Mountain series. It stretched for thousands of miles, and there was a Jade River in the middle. The “stream” of the Darkwell Town was the branch of the Jade River.
The town was near the mountains and the waters, and the natural resources were plentiful as well.
“Is this the street from the ancient times?”
Guo Fan stood at the entrance of the town. He looked around curiously at the intersection of the mountain path and the limestone street.
The town was similar to the ancient towns like Zhou Zhuang and Wu Town, which he had visited during his summer vacation in his previous life. Rows of white walls, black tiles, old wooden doors, and some trees were planted on both sides to cool down.
Occasionally, there would be artistes passing by who would pick up their shoulder pads and sell them, but they would not be able to see the market.
The people coming and going were all townspeople dressed in ordinary linen clothes. Most of them had been providing food for the villa for generations, and the villa would protect their safety. They would regularly choose some children to go up the mountain to practice martial arts.
The traffic here was blocked, and there was no need to receive visitors often. As a result, the business was not developed, and most of them were self-sufficient.
“Mm... I remember that it was in this direction. After walking past a small alley and turning left, I passed by a book house, which was Liao Mu's house.”
Guo Fan recalled the terrain in the game and looked around for a while.
“Hey, Master, where do you want to go? Or do you have any questions? Why don't you tell me, Duan Lin, everything I know will be answered.”
A short, fat boy suddenly came up to them. He had short hands and short legs, was white and fat, and was like a dwarf. He narrowed his eyes and chuckled.
Duan Lin, the broker who had been wandering between the town and the mountain paths all year round.
Frost River Manor was famous in the martial arts world after all. Although no one came to visit them for no reason, people from the martial arts world would come every now and then to visit them like a tourist attraction. Well, it was to admire them.
Sometimes, they would be curious or pretend to be curious. Naturally, they would want to ask about the situation in the manor.
At this time, according to experience, he should ask the informants in the town at the foot of the mountain.
But in reality, Duan Lin was a member of the assassination organization led by Huo De, the housekeeper of the manor. He was in charge of intelligence.
In fact, you tricked me, and I tricked you. contemporary romance
The Jianghu was a dangerous place, and it was impossible to guard against it.
Guo Fan glanced at him, but he did not look surprised. Instead, he was very familiar with it. “There is no need to guide me. There is a problem.”
Duan Lin, in Novice Village, he had a very deep impression of this NPC.
This was because most of the quests during the novice period had to be completed by him.
Whatever gifts, looking for cats and dogs, running errands, and all sorts of other side quests were basically published by him.
It could be seen how wide this person's connections in the town were. He would look for him for everything and go deep into the grassroots of the people.
Duan Lin nodded repeatedly. “You can ask.”
Guo Fan lowered his head and suddenly narrowed his eyes. He smiled and said, “Did your knee injury recover from being shot twenty years ago?”
Duan Lin's expression froze, and then he immediately smiled. “Master, I don't understand what you said. My knee is fine, but my leg is shorter. You can't make fun of me.”
He jumped on the spot, and the spherical fat shook. It actually had a Duang sound effect.
Guo Fan's smile did not change. He waved his hand. “I'm not laughing at you. I just suddenly thought of something funny. I don't have anything to help with. Go and find someone else to do business with.”
After saying that, he walked towards the alley.
What he said was true. Although he had just taken Cao Dong's storage bag from Mao Li, there was indeed only Soul jewels inside. There was no money.
Guo Fan took two steps and stopped again. He turned his head and said, “If I remember correctly, a group of people from the Jianghu will come over in a few days. They have Cold Accumulation Jade in their hands.”
Then, he left again.
When Guo Fan walked far away and his back disappeared into the alley, Duan Lin's smile immediately collapsed.
He rubbed his hands together, and the sound of metal hitting metal could be heard.
If one looked closely, one would find that his round and fat palm had become muscular in an instant, and his skin had also become black and hard with a metallic luster.
In the martial arts world, the horizontal hard body technique could not reach such heights. Only cultivators could have the ability to change their body form.
Duan Lin, the broker in the marketplace, was an Immortal Cultivator.
“Twenty years ago, I defected to the Snowflake Mansion and was shot through my knee by a flaming rocket. Although I was cured later on, I was still left with an illness. How did this person know?”
Duan Lin murmured.
“And I have been looking for the Cold Accumulation Jade...”
Duan Lin could not figure it out. Of course, he did not know that he had given players a quest called [Old soldier does not die, only knee pain].

Guo Fan walked around a few times and finally found the Xie Manor.
In the tall courtyard, a few banana leaves stretched out from the door, and they didn't fit in with the surroundings.
As for Duan Lin's reaction, he was now a distinguished guest of Frost River Manor. Since he was saved by Gu Min twenty years ago, Duan Lin had been loyal to this Ding'an Martial Marquis.
Without Gu Min's permission, he naturally would not be hostile to Guo Fan.
Furthermore, Guo Fan could be considered to have pointed out a way for him.
Guo Fan was stunned.
This was indeed a side quest, but it was not in the game right now, so Duan Lin would not give him any rewards.
Besides, he could not guarantee his own safety right now. How many side quests could he make?
“F * ck, I'm used to taking side quests.”
Guo Fan stood in front of the Xie Manor with a melancholic look on his face. The guards at the entrance hesitated when they saw his expression.
This man, this look...
Could it be that the old master used that trick to say, “I didn't openly see you and you are still playing the piano for you in the courtyard?” He was so angry that his lungs were about to explode?
But he had no impression of it.
For a moment, the nursing home also felt that it was troublesome. They did not know how to deal with the guest who still had the perseverance to visit them for the second time.
