Artoria wants to read people's hearts

With the broken state of the system just now, can I really receive the mission and get money?

----------------

A foggy morning doesn't mean a cloudy day.

There is a little white mist in the emerald green forest, and the gentle breeze brings the fragrance of the soil, and everything revives......

Arturia was running in the forest at the moment.

She was wearing a linen-colored coarse cloth with a small brown leather vest outside. Her blond hair was tied into a low ponytail with a blue ribbon and fell behind her shoulders. This dress made her look like a delicate-looking woman. Handsome young hunter.

The modern clothes brought over from Academy City have already been replaced, and she is keeping them in the storage column.

This game has been started for more than half a month, and Arturia is also doing her best to complete the task while collecting information.

Although she also wanted to go deep into the maze and kill the boss directly, but unfortunately, she wandered around in it every day but couldn't find the room where the boss on the first floor was located.

As a result, she had no choice but to work hard to accept some ordinary tasks while looking for boos, the main purpose of which was to earn her own food and accommodation expenses.

Unlike other players, Artoria doesn't want to gain experience for leveling up, she just wants to make money.

So compared to those that give more experience, she is more inclined to tasks that pay a little more money.

And that's it for today.

A businessman issued such a mission, saying that he was suddenly besieged by a group of wild wolves on the way to deliver the goods. Although under the protection of the guards, he desperately ran back to the town, but the goods were left in the deep forest. place.

"This lovely lady." The potbellied NPC merchant said with a sad face, "As long as you can help me find the goods, I am willing to pay you two thousand cols as a reward."

Although Arturia is wearing long-sleeved trousers that are easy to move, so that she looks a bit like a delicate teenager, but NPCs don't care what your appearance is, they have system bonuses and they can be seen at a glance List the specific gender of all players.

Artoria, who was still a little hesitant,'s eyes lit up on the spot when she heard that the mission would give her two thousand cols.

She immediately accepted the task without saying a word, and before leaving, she swore to tell the NPC businessman to let him relax, and promised that she would definitely get back his lost goods.

So, with the cargo information she got from that NPC, she turned around and ran out of the town to the forest.

The branches of the trees are as green as emeralds, and they seem to be covered with a layer of green velvet from the sky. The river water is like flowing curd, and the humid air also feels like crystal.

Arturia slightly adjusted her direction according to the green inverted triangle on the map.

Although she has been on the road all this time, she seems to be in a good mood, her emerald eyes are shining brightly, with a sense of clarity like spring water.

——The destination is almost here.

Sure enough, it didn't take long after that. She walked around the vigorous and green pine trees and crossed the gurgling river, and she could already see the truck parked not far away.

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Artoria came to the front of the car briskly, looked up at the truck casually, and then walked around the car twice.

The goods were not lost, the car was not too damaged, and everything was safe except for the loss of a horse.

'very good. She nodded with satisfaction, "Now that the goods are connected with the truck, I can directly pull them back together. '

She thought, maybe the reward for this mission is so high, a large part of it lies in how the players can bring these lost goods back to the NPC without damage?

After all, the player's storage box is not very large, and the goods in this carriage obviously cannot fit.

So the difficulty is after you find it, not before you find it.

But this difficult element was completely useless in front of Arturia's opponent.

As the incarnation of the red dragon, she just acts as a rickshaw puller and pulls the carriage. This kind of thing should not be too simple for her.

I believe that as long as she completes this task, she can go to the tavern to have a good meal after a long absence.

——The more I think about it, the happier I feel.

Just do it.

but..........

Just when Arturia was about to straighten her sleeves, her ears moved suddenly, and then she suddenly raised her head and looked towards her left front.

In the forest, ancient trees in various poses and with different styles tower into the clouds, with intertwined branches and branches, and the prosperous branches and leaves cover the sky and the sun.

The golden sunlight shines through the shade among the leaves, like shining stars, exuding an elusive tranquility.

Silently restraining her mind, she pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

Low shouts, howling wolves, and the clash of metal.

As she listened, Arturia's face changed suddenly, because just now, she suddenly heard a human's painful murmur.

Clearly, someone was hurt there.

Before she had time to think too much, she quickly turned around and ran towards the direction of the sound.

Galloping all the way, when Arturia finally arrived at the place, the scene in front of her made her pupils shrink suddenly.

I saw about 20 wilderness wolves in front of them. They were opening their sharp mouths and showing their sharp claws. Their aggressive appearance looked extremely terrifying.

They showed a tendency to encircle, and at this moment, they were besieging a swordsman in a cloak with all their strength.

And the swordsman who couldn't see his figure clearly was already exhausted, his body was covered with scars from the battle, although he was still gritting his teeth and persevering, but looking at the panting appearance, it was obvious that he couldn't last long up.

But at this moment, perhaps due to the exhaustion of his physical strength, the swordsman suddenly staggered, and he fell back and lost his balance.

And a giant wild wolf launched an attack at this critical moment. Seeing that the man was about to die, Artoria hurriedly drew out her saber to meet him.

Chapter 6 The boy came from the wind ([-] in [-])

"21."

Asuna looked at the shattered light in front of her, and moved her tired wrist a little.

This is the No.20 wild boar she has killed so far.

In order to practice her skill proficiency, she left the small town and came to this forest.

Although it was a bit difficult to get started at the beginning, after the passage of time, until now, Asuna has a very deep understanding of how to kill a wild boar.

It's a bit ironic to say that the reason why the girl is working so hard to become stronger is simply because she feels that this game can't wait for rescue.

Since they are going to die in the end anyway, it might as well die on the way to clear the game.

In this way, compared to the death method of being consumed by time, death after hard work will not sound so ridiculous.

Girls are not the kind of characters who can stay in the town and wait to die, so naturally they have to fight.

It has been nearly half a day since Asuna came out, and during this half-day battle, her manipulation of the battle has begun to become handy.

Maybe I can already choose some other prey.

While thinking this way, the girl turned her eyes to the depths of the forest.

Looking up from a distance, the green forest is connected like an ocean, and the trees grow lush and luxuriant, exuding a refreshing coolness.

The sunlight is like a wisp of golden sand, falling on the grass through the layers of branches and leaves.

The scene in front of me is like a beautiful landscape painting, and the shadows of the trees are extraordinarily beautiful.

But Asuna clearly knew in her heart that everything in front of her was an illusion.

There are no beautiful forests, no delicate flowers. In the real world, I must be lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, relying on the nutrient solution to hang the lingering life.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneered slightly.

Holding the rapier in her hand tightly, she walked straight into the depths of the forest without the slightest hesitation.

Only by becoming stronger can I pass the game as soon as possible, and can truly survive. The only thing I can rely on and trust at this time is the sword in my hand.

Carefully avoiding those monsters that she could not defeat at all now, she searched carefully in the depths of the forest.

Ten minutes later, Asuna finally chose her target.

Those were two giant wilderness wolves that were resting. Judging from their level, although it was a bit difficult to deal with, as long as they paid attention to dodging, the odds of winning were still as high as 90.00%.

Just do it.

So she raised the rapier in her hand, took a deep breath, stepped down fiercely, and charged at the two giant wolves at a very fast speed with this reverse thrust. .

The flaxen-haired girl firmly believed that she could win.

However...........

Once something like a flag is set up, it is difficult to unplug it easily.

After Asuna killed one of the giant wolves, the remaining one simply raised its head to the sky and howled loudly, calling for its companions.

"!!!"

This kind of development was completely unexpected to her before, the pupils suddenly shrank, and the girl's face turned pale.

With her current ability, it was her limit to deal with the two wilderness wolves without any injuries. If she allowed the situation to continue, she would have to shed a layer of skin even if she didn't die today.

no!I must get out of here quickly! !

Before she had time to think about it, she immediately turned her head and ran in the opposite direction.

but........

Because of the hunting mechanism in the game and the hatred value, the surviving giant wolf pounced on her hungry tiger when she saw that she was about to leave, and grabbed her back like a sharp hook with its sharp claws.

"Damn!"

Gritting her teeth, the girl cursed in a low voice.

In order to dodge, she quickly turned around and threw herself towards the ground beside her, narrowly dodging the blow.

The ferocious looking wolf was as tall as a person. It grinned to reveal fine fangs, and its eyes were huge and blood red.

Seeing that the claws didn't hit the ground, the giant wolf immediately set off a gust of wind with its claws. It leaped high from the ground, and once again swung its sharp claws fiercely at the uninvited visitor who had filled up his hatred. .

In the next second, the collision of the blade and the sharp claw made a piercing scream.

but.............

How can Asuna's strength be compared with that of the Wild Wolf?

So in an instant, her whole body was directly sent flying by a huge force, and she rolled awkwardly on the ground for many times before barely stopping her figure.

Thanks to the fact that most of the world's pain has been shielded, otherwise the girl might not be able to stand up just now.

Struggling to get up from the ground, she looked up at the culprit.

However, the scene that caught her eyes made Asuna's heart feel like falling into an ice cave.

It turned out that at the moment when they confronted each other just now, other wilderness wolves nearby had already rushed over, and surrounded themselves in a circle without knowing when.

Now it's a big trouble! !

The girl couldn't help taking a deep breath, a look of despair appeared on her face.

Her current HP is only half left, if she gets scratched by their claws a few more times, then her final outcome will be obvious.

It's ridiculous, am I going to die here today? !

Reluctantly clenched the weapon in her hand, anxiety and despair continued to magnify in her heart.

I haven't become strong yet, I haven't cleared the boss yet, how can I die here? ! !

Thinking that she is now in the Mood for Love, her beautiful life will end in this absurd game before it begins, her eyes turn red involuntarily.

No!

I don't want to die here! !

Perhaps it was because of this belief that supported her, so even in the face of an opponent she was bound to lose, the girl still raised the rapier in her hand and aimed the sharp point at the wolves.

——The battle is on the verge of breaking out.

With a firm belief in survival, Asuna held her weapon tightly in her hands. She gritted her teeth and repeated all the skills she could use over and over again, abruptly killing seven in and seven out of the wolves.

However.......

Even in the world of games, there are times when human strength is exhausted.

As Asuna's physical strength ran out, the girl's movement of raising the sword involuntarily paused.

She seemed to be unable to control her own balance, and her figure suddenly began to fall backwards.

With a "plop", she collapsed directly to the ground.

"!!!"
