Yin Xing quickly set off.
Since entering the game, he had been working as an apprentice in a weapons store. Apart from occasionally going out for daily missions, he had basically never been to the wild. He could be said to be a true life player.
However, for him, who was paralyzed in bed, Starry Sky Age wasn’t a game from the beginning but a part of his life. It was a very important part at that.
It was only in the game that he could be himself. He could run, jump and do everything a normal person could do.
Therefore, he was more patient than other players and was more willing to spend time managing everything in the game well.
Sometimes, he even felt that he really was Xingzhi, a brave man who traveled through time and space to come to another world and start a new life, rather than a player.
Starry Sky Age could really magnify people’s sense of immersion infinitely, making them unable to extricate themselves.
As Yin Xing set out, Master Abel personally saw him off and handed him the most valuable weapon.
It was an iron hammer that could be used for striking iron or as a weapon.
“This is my teacher’s most proud work. Now, I will give it to you. I hope that you can use it to successfully find the remains of the inscription masters and return safely.”
Master Abel said solemnly.
In fact, if possible, he would like to go to the ruins of Siasa in person, but he was too weak.
The application he made to the empire was rejected.
If there was no teleportation circle, it would probably take him half a year to reach the Siasa Forest on the border.
After knowing his intentions, the administrator sent guards to ‘protect’ him. In fact, it was to prevent him from acting on his own.
After all, as Roland’s only weapons instructor, Abel was still very important. The Siasa Forest wasn’t a safe place at the moment.
Meanwhile, Yin Xin was a brave and had no such restrictions.
[Ding~ Successfully triggered the legendary mission: Restoration of the Elemental Blacksmith.]
[Description: A weapons master is a branch of the elemental blacksmith. As the successor of a weapons master, Master Abel has always had a wish. It is to re-study the elemental blacksmithing technique and restore this lost profession.]
[Quest content: Please accept Abel’s commission and start the first stage of this legendary quest.]
Yin Xing was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected that he would actually trigger the legendary mission of the elemental blacksmith when he went to search for the ruins of the inscription master!
He suppressed his excitement, took the hammer handed over by Master Abel with trembling hands, and said in a deep voice, “Teacher, please rest assured. I will definitely find the remains of the inscription master and bring back the inheritance of the inscription master!”
Master Abel’s eyes turned red. He reached out and patted Yin Xing’s shoulder vigorously. “Good boy. Teacher believes in you!”
In addition to this legendary hammer. Master Abel had prepared many other good things for Yin Xing. They were collections he had collected over the years.
This time, he really spent a lot of money for the inheritance of the inscription master.
He knew that Yin Xing, as a brave, possessed very special racial talents and there was no need to worry about his life being in danger. However, Master Abel didn’t forget that there were other braves also looking for the ruins.
He didn’t know whether the inheritance of the inscription master was open to many people or taught to one person. Just in case, he had to provide some help to Yin Xing.
Looking at the things he stuffed into his pocket, Yin Xing was deeply moved. He had long regarded Master Abel as a grandfather. Now there was no way to treat him as an NPC.
“Teacher, I’ll be leaving now. You should go back and rest. Don’t work as a blacksmith for the next two days.”
After all, Master Abel was old. He was in good health due to years of blacksmithing, but he had many hidden injuries and sprained his waist two days ago.
Yin Xing also specially found a friend who was a light healer to perform light healing techniques on him. However, due to Abel’s age, he still needed to be careful.
“I know, I know. Please leave as soon as possible. I am waiting for your good news.”
Master Abel practically blasted him into the teleportation hall.
The teleportation hall was crowded with players, all of whom were going to the Siasa Forest to search for the ruins of the inscription master. Yin Xing followed them and was soon teleported to the border of Roland.
He looked at the scenery around him with an expression of surprise.
This was Yin Xing’s first time in the wild. He relied on blacksmithing and completing daily missions to level up to Lv 30. However, when it came to combat, he was a complete newcomer.
He looked at the map on the communicator. A map without navigation function was like a mystery to someone exploring the wild for the first time.
In the end, Yin Xing chose to give up and continued to move forward with the crowd.
“Going to the Siasa Forest, 10 Escher coins every time. Come quickly if you need it!”
“Are you going to the Siasa Forest to look for the ruins? I can give you a discount. It only costs 9 Escher coins!”
“How long will it take you to walk on your own two legs? With the help of the light body technique, you can walk more than twice as fast as the others. It only costs 2 Escher coins. You won’t suffer any loss or be cheated!”
There were already quite a few wind elementalists doing business along the way. Not to mention, the light body technique was really useful, and it only cost 2 Escher coins.
Yin Xing immediately went over to gain a blessing. Then he found an acquaintance.
It was Changan Yipianyue, also known as Deng Jianan, the game streamer.
Deng Jianan was also stunned for a moment when seeing Yin Xing. Then he ran over happily and patted his shoulder vigorously.
“Ah Xing, long time no see!”
Yin Xing was addicted to blacksmithing and Deng Jianan was a person who couldn’t sit still. The two of them didn’t play much together later on. Only Deng Jianan would occasionally visit Yin Xing.
Deng Jianan was a wind elementalist. During the previous closed beta, he went to Leixi Village to run errands and deliver food relief. After that, he continued to carry out missions in the surrounding area. He demonstrated to the majority of players how to use the convenience of a wind elementalist to quickly earn extra money.
It could be said that he had made very important contributions to promoting the development of express logistics in the Roland Empire.
Unexpectedly, Yin Xing met him here. It was quite surprising.
He asked, “Are you also here for the ruins of the inscription master?”
Deng Jianan nodded and said with a smile, “Yes, I came to join in the fun. Why are you here when you are a technical nerd?”
Yin Xing didn’t hide anything from him and told him about the mission he received.
Deng Jianan couldn’t help gasping. “Oh my god! You…”
He realized something and quickly covered his mouth. He switched to a private channel before saying, “Brother, you are so awesome! It is a legendary mission!”
Yin Xing smiled. “Are you interested in going with me? If I complete the mission, I’ll give you half the rewards.”
“Hahaha, I don’t want your rewards. Just make me a weapon!”
Deng Jianan added, “Come on, I’ll take you to the ruins. Let’s go!”
He directly performed a flying spell on Yin Xing and flew into the sky with him.
“Are you still live broadcasting?”
“No, I’m taking a break today. I was originally going to play in the ruins. Then I felt a bit overwhelmed, so I simply ran to the teleportation circle to see if there was any bigshot I could talk to. I didn’t expect to run into you.”
“Is the situation in Siasa bad?”
“Oh, yes. The screaming dryads are too difficult to defeat, but the clue is on the screaming dryad. In addition, the items dropped by the screaming dryads are quite good. Someone posted them on the forum.”
“Then why don’t you continue fighting the bosses?”
“Hey, who is following whom? You had better not reveal your mission, or someone might come and snatch it away.”
Putting aside whether this mission could be snatched away or not, a weapon of legendary quality could easily be coveted by others, even if it was a hammer.
“Human hearts are sinister. You shouldn’t have told me and should’ve secretly completed the mission yourself.”
“However, I can’t do it alone,” Yin Xing stated.
Deng Jianan thought about it and realized this was indeed the case.
After all, he was a maximum level wind elementalist and had been running in the wild all year round. His combat ability might be average, but he was much stronger than Yin Xing.
“In any case, don’t tell anyone else. Now everyone is looking for the ruins. We can just follow behind and fish in troubled waters.”
Yin Xing followed suit. He followed Deng Jianan, turning left and right in the forest. He quickly flew through the forest and came to a dense forest with a clearly different style.
“Look, that dark area is Siasa Forest.”
From the dense forest, the screaming of the screaming dryads could be heard far away. It was very torturous.
In addition to them, there were players flying from behind one after another, directly passing them and flying towards the dense forest with a clear goal.
Judging from their miserable appearance, they were most likely killed by the screaming dryads and ran here after returning to the city.
After all, there were only ten opportunities to resurrect on the spot every day. They had to wait 30 minutes every day. It was better to return to the city and teleport over.
Yin Xing looked into the distance and took out the big hammer with a serious expression.
The iron hammer looked plain and unpretentious on the outside. Apart from being a bit bigger, it was just an ordinary hammer.
As a weapon, it didn’t attract the covetousness of others. It was even laughed at by passing players.
“Brother, are you here to kill monsters or to strike iron?”
“This weapon is too ugly. My big sword is still handsome!”
There was a sneer and the group flew away laughing.
Deng Jianan patted Yin Xing on the shoulder, but Yin Xing shook his head, not caring at all.
The two of them soon plunged into the Siasa Forest. Since the mission indicated that the clue was on the screaming dryad, they focused their attention on the deformed alien plants like other players.
However, before Deng Jianan could take action, Yin Xing stopped him.
At this moment, the dense Siasa Forest was full of players fighting with the screaming dryads. They annoyed this group of alien plants. Almost all the screaming dryads in the dense forest were screaming and attacking indiscriminately.
But, only almost.
Yin Xing soon discovered that some of the screaming tree dryads didn’t move. They stood peacefully in the same place, and the vines on their bodies didn’t shake much.
Yin Xing told Deng Jianan about his discovery. After discussing it, the two of them decided not to take action. Instead, they observed quietly from the side and took note of the motionless tree monsters.
In the sky above them, without them noticing, Xu Sili and Si Sheng were flying in mid-air.
Xu Sili returned to his original shape, and his expression wasn’t very good at this moment. The little sprite landed on his shoulder and looked down at the players.
“These people are not only weak, but also stupid. I now doubt if they can learn the inscriptions well.”
Xu Sili could only laugh. At this moment, he heard the sprite boy suddenly let out a light exclamation.
