Chapter 2304 - 2303: Played
"Village Chief, if you need any herbs, I can help you find them!"
Although Ling Feng was puzzled, he immediately agreed.
Regardless, since he was here, he should just go with the flow. Since he didn’t know exactly where he was or how big the world was, he’d better take it step by step!
The Village Chief nodded, "Alright, remember, I need Hemostatic Herb, Purple Spotted Leaf..."
He rattled off seven or eight kinds of herbs, and Ling Feng memorized them all, even though he hadn’t heard of some of them, he could roughly guess based on their names.
He originally wanted to ask the old man more about the village’s situation, but as soon as he finished listing the needed herbs, the Village Chief turned and left!
Watching his back, Ling Feng was speechless.
He then remembered that Ling Yao and Long Xiaoyu were still missing, so Ling Feng sighed and stepped out of the village.
This Ling Family Village was located in a section of the original jungle, apart from the clearing where the village was located, the surrounding area was a dense forest.
After walking a short distance, Ling Feng entered the forest.
Though he didn’t have his inherited skills anymore, he still retained the memories and information about herbs and Medicinal Pills, so Ling Feng easily found several herbs.
Meanwhile, he discovered some other varieties of herbs.
Even though his energy was gone and he couldn’t craft Medicinal Pills, Ling Feng still collected all these herbs.
He was soon able to gather a large bundle and felt it was about time, so he returned to the village with it.
Upon entering the village, he saw the Village Chief not far away, and Ling Feng quickly approached, "Village Chief, I’m back!"
"Wow, quite a harvest!"
The Village Chief burst into laughter upon seeing him and praised, "Ling Xiao’er, I didn’t expect you to be so good at this, bringing back so many herbs!"
"It’s alright, there are plenty in the forest, I just dug them up along the way!" Ling Feng laughed.
"These herbs are also exactly what I need right now, why not give them all to me?" the Village Chief asked with a smile.
Ling Feng was taken aback, thinking that wasn’t this just freeloading?
But then he thought, since he was training here, he wasn’t really here to make money through medicine, so why not give them to him?
So he nodded and said, "Of course, no problem at all, you can have them all!"
"Great!"
The Village Chief nodded with satisfaction, "There are all sorts of poisonous insects and fierce beasts in the forest outside Ling Family Village. I can’t let your efforts to harvest herbs go unrewarded, so how about I give you a weapon for self-defense?"
"Is this the quest reward then?"
Ling Feng had encountered some online games before, so he thought to himself.
The old man carried the herbs home, and Ling Feng waited at the doorstep for a moment.
After a while, the Village Chief came out with an ancient-looking box.
"I found this deep in the forest when I was young, it’s very sharp and should be useful for you."
The old man handed the box to Ling Feng.
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
Ling Feng smiled and opened the box, finding a gleaming curved saber inside, with a handle made of red wood, beautifully crafted, and the blade seemed quite good too.
Now that he had a weapon, it seemed the next step could be to hunt those beasts in the forest.
Ling Feng thought to himself but lamented there were no experience points, otherwise, it would really feel like an online game!
Safely tucking the saber away, Ling Feng looked at the Village Chief, "Is there anything else you’d like me to do?"
Surprisingly, the old man shook his head, "Nothing else, you may go home!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was left speechless, thinking this wasn’t right; he should have been given another task!
Suddenly he was out of things to do; what was he supposed to do next?
Was he supposed to explore the world by himself?
The old man had already gone back inside, and Ling Feng didn’t chase after him, standing at the door dumbfounded for a moment before deciding to leave.
After only a few steps, he realized he had forgotten which house was his!
"Isn’t this ridiculous?"
Ling Feng was speechless, and looking around, he spotted the little boy from before and immediately called out, "Hey!"
"Calling me? I have a name, you know!" the boy glared at Ling Feng.
"Oh, I forgot what it was!"
Ling Feng chuckled, "I suddenly got a bit forgetful, and I can’t even remember where my own house is."
"Really? You’re not a fool now, are you?"
The boy was stunned and widened his eyes.
Ling Feng glared at him speechlessly, "Enough nonsense, take me home!"
As he spoke, he lightly tapped the back of the boy’s head.
Of course, it wasn’t a hard hit, just a gentle pat.
But the boy wasn’t pleased; he was about to confront Ling Feng, but considering their size difference, he quickly changed his mind!
"Alright, I’ll take you home!"
After speaking, he turned away, quickly crossing the village, bringing Ling Feng to the door of a wooden cabin, "Here is your home!"
"Really?"
Ling Feng was skeptical, feeling it looked somewhat different than before!
"Of course it is, why would I lie to you?"
The boy was annoyed, casting a disdainful look at him, and continued, "I’ve brought you back; take it or leave it!"
After speaking, he turned and walked away.
Watching the boy’s retreating figure, Ling Feng shook his head helplessly, "That brat!"
After muttering a complaint, he stepped into the cabin.
However, the boy soon turned and secretly followed him back.
Once inside, Ling Feng found the interior pitch-black, unable to see anything, so he stopped to adapt to the darkness.
It was also at this moment that he saw a pale, tender foot heading straight for his chest!
He saw it with his eyes, and his mind issued a warning, but his body was no longer agile, and Ling Feng was directly kicked, taking several steps backward before ending up outside and sitting on the ground!
"Hahaha, serves you right! That should feel good!"
Ling Feng had barely hit the ground when the boy’s laughter erupted like a landslide beside him.
Looking back, that kid was laughing so hard he was falling over!
"You little rascal!"
Ling Feng was utterly speechless, thinking this couldn’t be a typical online game, as NPCs weren’t usually this clever, were they?
Yet he wasn’t in the mood to deal with the boy now; there was a more intriguing character inside the cabin!
Getting up and dusting off his pants, Ling Feng strode back to the door and shouted inside, "Hey, I didn’t mean to intrude, why so rough?"
The cabin was silent, no one responded.
After a moment’s pause, Ling Feng, unwilling to give up, stepped into the cabin.
"Swish!"
A snow-white hand rushed towards him, aimed at his face.
Ling Feng braced himself for a slap, staying still, then reached out to try and catch the person’s wrist!
The opponent immediately withdrew their hand, then another kick came flying!
"Enough already, huh?"
Ling Feng’s anger ignited, and he boldly charged forward!
