Excellent equipment maker

Chapter 4 The Mysterious Old Man (for collection)
(Favorite and recommend, begging!!)
Special mission!

As soon as Li Feng saw these four words, he immediately became a little excited.

Generally speaking, special tasks in the game are unique. He was the first person in Hongyun Village to complete the task of [Collecting Wild Boar Teeth], so he became the first player to encounter this special task.

According to previous game experience, players can obtain special items after completing special tasks, maybe a special piece of equipment, maybe a special skill, or even a special job, everything is possible!
"Accept!" Li Feng quickly accepted the task, then opened the task scroll, and began to check the content of the task:

[The Secret of the Stranger] At the entrance to the east of the village, there is a strange man sitting under a big tree. No one knows his origin. If you can learn the secret of this strange man, you will be able to get mysterious rewards.

After closing the mission scroll, Li Feng immediately rushed to the east of the village. Now the village is full of novice players, and all kinds of yelling and quarreling sounds gathered together, forming a torrent of voices, giving people the feeling of walking into a village. The vegetable market is extremely noisy.

Coming to the east of Hongyun Village, looking up, there are players spawning monsters and leveling up everywhere. The number of people is far more than that of monsters. Every spawned monster cannot escape the tragic fate of being dismembered. Li Feng I can only mourn silently for the monsters in my heart.

Li Feng glanced around, and soon saw an old man in ragged clothes sitting motionless under a big tree next to the entrance of the village.The old man's face is old, his eyes are cloudy and dull, with a few leaves falling on his body, his whole body is like a sculpture, and he can hardly feel any breath of life.

There were many players around the old man. Obviously, they also saw the existence of this mysterious old man and wanted to try to accept some missions. However, their various actions did not attract the old man's response.

"Fuck, I thought I could receive some kind of mission. It turned out to be a bad old man with Alzheimer's disease!"

"I'm even worse. I said a lot of things next to me. The old man didn't respond at all, wasting my precious upgrade time. It seems that your judgment is correct. There is probably no quest to pick up here. Let's go, call Blame the upgrade."

In the end, the players around the old man left cursing, and the surroundings became quiet again.

Li Feng did not try to communicate with this old man like other players. Even the NPCs in the village could not communicate with this strange old man, let alone the players. He has been observing this strange old man, paying attention to the old man Any change in the body.

Wasting training time?His goal is to become a life player, so go ahead and play with the level leaderboard, it has nothing to do with him!
Observing the old man is boring?His greatest strength is his tenacious patience. A guy who can squat on the ground and watch ants move for more than an hour, how bad is his patience?

Soon, a new humanoid statue appeared under the big tree. At this time, Li Feng was like an old monk in meditation, sitting not far from the old man and observing this strange old man.

Once Li Feng enters a quiet state, his powers of observation will become extremely astonishing. This is another notable advantage of him, second only to his monstrous patience.

After continuing to observe for more than half an hour, he found that although the old man's eyes were cloudy and lifeless, sometimes there would be a very complicated look in them.

It was a kind of inexplicable strange gaze, which contained reminiscence, pain, regret, self-blame, happiness... All kinds of emotions were entangled together to form this gaze. The amount of information in it was too large. And every time it passes in a flash, if you don't observe carefully, you won't be able to detect it at all.

Li Feng also noticed that whenever the old man showed such emotions, his eyes would fall on a certain house in the west of Hongyun Village, and his body would tremble slightly.

It was an extremely old log cabin with two floors. Many places had been decayed and collapsed, and it was dilapidated.

"Could it be that this old man was originally a villager of Hongyun Village, and that house was his home?" An idea flashed in Li Feng's mind. In the old man's gaze, there was indeed a longing for home.

In order to confirm the true identity of the old man, he went back to the village to find the village chief.

Every village will have records of the villagers. The old man is very old, at least over 80 years old. No one in the village seems to know him. There are only two explanations for this. One is that all the villagers who knew the old man are no longer there. In the world, the second is that the appearance of the old man has changed so much that no one can recognize him anymore.

There were two possibilities. Li Feng decided to find out the origin of the dilapidated log cabin in the village first. He went to the village chief and explained his intentions. Soon, he was able to enter the village archives.

From the mouth of the village chief, Li Feng got an amazing piece of information. The small wooden house in the village has been uninhabited for more than 70 years. Its original owner was a young couple from outside. After the man went out once, he never came back, leaving the woman alone to guard the house.

A few years after the man left, the woman died of depression, and the small wooden house was abandoned, and it still remains there until now, becoming the oldest house in the village.

Since the matter had passed for too long, the village chief himself only learned the information from the conversations of the elders, and he did not know whether it was correct.

"If that log cabin is really the old man's home, then wouldn't the old man be over a hundred years old!" Li Feng was secretly surprised, he felt that the old man was most likely the man who ran away from home, so It also explained why the old man showed such extremely complicated emotions.

Li Feng faintly noticed the basic context of this whole matter, and now he wanted to check the files to learn more about this mysterious old man.

With the help of the archivist, Li Feng found the file of the owner of the house. He sat by the window and read it carefully.

Half an hour later, Li Feng walked out of the file room, and now he had obtained the information he wanted. It turned out that the owners of the log cabin were Villen and Jenny. They were a foreign couple who had lived together in Hongyun Village for five years. In the sixth year, Velen left Hongyun Village and never came back, while Jenny stayed in Hongyun Village and died of illness a few years later.

He is now almost certain that the old man sitting outside the village is Velen, because only Velen himself can have that nostalgic feeling for the cabin.
