Chapter 1: Being an Adventure is boring. I just want to be lazy
A large green-skinned dragon flew over the pine forest, bringing with it a gust of wind that caused the pine forests to sway and the pinecones to rustle.
Robb was sitting under a pine tree while looking at the bulging belly of the two-footed flying dragons flying over the treetops, thinking to himself, âI am now a âGod Archerâ. Using the skill âDragon Killing Arrowâ, I can shoot dragons from the sky with one arrow. Then, I can equip a skinning knife and using the âAdvanced Skinning Skillâ, I can get the item âDragon Skinâ, then, using the âAdvanced Skinning Skillâ again, I can make a pair of âFlying Dragon Leather Armorâ. In this way, the proficiency of archery will increase by 5 points, the proficiency of skinning will increase by 2 points, and the proficiency of leather crafting will increase by 2 points....â
While thinking about this, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself. âWhat are you thinking about again? Youâve already practiced. You donât need to practice anymore.â
Robb, who is 18 years old this year, is a senior gamer. A few years prior, he became fascinated by âDark Bladeâ. âDark Bladeâ is a large-scale online RPG known as an MMORPG (TL: Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games). It is set in a Western world full of swords and magic, with a vast and seamless world map, rich monsters, and numerous occupations. It allowed players to freely change full-time and part-time jobs, with rich customization that enabled the players to DIY their beloved game characters as they like.
Robb fell into the game by accident. Maybe it was because he was a Virgo, but he always played the game to completion. To do otherwise left him feeling uncomfortable. Warriors, Paladins, Rangers, Rogues, Priests... He ran through all other common occupations in its entirety. He even fully practiced mining, tree cutting, cooking, skinning, leather making... and other skills.
He established the largest guild in the entire server, defeated the most difficult of dungeons, defeated the strongest of epic-level monsters alone, and participated in a thousand-player raid.
However, one day, when he logged into the game, he discovered that there was nothing left for him to do.
Everything that can be experienced has been experienced by him.
The world of swords and magic completely lost the attraction he once had when he first arrived. At this point, when he logged into the game world, he didnât even feel the slightest bit of excitement.
Well, this may just be the ultimate destination for all gamers.
He decided to quit the game. However, at that moment, he somehow transmigrated over and sat under a pine tree. He appears to look the same as the appearance of his own game character. Heâs a handsome blonde male, wearing a T-shirt and jeans made with skin bought with krypton gold. He also inherited all proficiency points he gained and developed in the game.
He met an explorer and asked him some questions. He learned that this place is called the âFengmo Continentâ, a world of swords and magic; however, it isnât a game world but a real world.
Either way, no matter what itâs called, whether real or not, heâs already tired of everything about swords and magic. Seeing a goblin poking his head next to him, he didnât even bother to fight it. When he changed his previous career and had not yet fully practiced and developed it, whenever he encountered a monster with a delicate and soft body like a goblin, he would rush over and chop it up immediately so he could obtain one or two points of proficiency.
However, what should I do if I donât want to move at all?
I just arrived in a new world, but why do I have no interest in exploring?
He looked at the sky and fell into a state of inactivity.
At this moment, a voice sounded in the distance, and three people came over from the woods.
Walking in front was a man in heavy armor carrying a big sword; behind him was a man in leather armor armed with a bow and arrow; and at the back was a woman in a robe holding a wand. The woman was pretty good-looking, with delicate facial features and red hair.
This is an authentic adventurerâs squad! They have a warrior, an archer, and a magician. Except for the lack of a priest, the overall structure of their squad is very reasonable.
Of course, Robb also knows that only in the game can there be a clear occupation. In the real world, a farmer who picks up a sword Is a warrior, who picks up a bow is an archer, and if he learns magic, he can become a magician. Here, there is no reason to hang a certain job name on oneâs head, and there is no concept of experience points and levels.
So, in the real world, you donât know what skills someone will use just by looking at them. Maybe a person with a staff will pick up a dagger and backstab you the next second. This is the norm here in the real world.
This small group seemed to be very cautious. They took each step they took in the wood carefully. When they entered the pine forest, they saw Robb sitting under the tree. Unarmed and wearing a strange piece of cloth. He didnât look dangerous, and the warrior in front asked, âHey! Are you a resident of Westwind Town? Isnât it dangerous for you to come here alone?â
Robb wanted to save the trouble and didnât want to talk too much with strangers, so he just lied casually, âI just went into the mountains to collect herbs; although itâs a little dangerous, wealth and danger come hand in hand.â
âIt turns out to be herbs.â The warrior in front then asked, âDid you see a green-skinned wyvern around here? It often attacks the caravan, and the elders of Westwind Town asked us to get rid of it.â
âOh? Is it a flying dragon?â Robb really saw a flying dragon just now and was even thinking about using its skin as leather armor, he pointed in the direction where the flying dragon disappeared and said, âIt just passed from me. It flew overhead and headed in that direction. I saw that it flew slowly with a low altitude. It seemed that it was about to return to its nest. Its nest shouldnât be far from here.â
The warrior smiled and said, âGreat, weâve been looking for it for a few days, and now we finally have new about the wyvern.â He turned around and smiled at the archer and magician and said, âLetâs go and kill it, so we can go back and get ourselves paid.â
The three nodded to Robb and said thankfully, âThank you for the information.â
Robb spread his hands and said, âYouâre welcome!â
The three people left, but Robb didnât care. When playing games before, when other players asked him, âWhere is the NPC for a certain taskâ, he usually pointed out the location of the NPC casually before ignoring it. He was not so enthusiastic as to accompany them on a task whenever he was asked for directions.
He continued to sit under the big pine tree, lazily thinking about what he should do.
I donât want to explore the world anymore. Iâm not interested and donât want t pick up any s*** quests or fight s*** monsters. He has done these things repeatedly in the game for several years until he practiced all occupations and skills to perfection. Tired to the point of vomiting, thinking about it carefully, it is stupid how ridiculous it is that I have been picking up tasks, then going to do ten tasks to blame this stupid thing for several years.
Itâs better to be lazy than to do this stupid thing.
However, it is not enough to be lazy all the time.
He needs to eat, sleep, and wear clothes in the real world. It seems he is not allowed to sit under the pine tree in a daze.
He stood up slowly, thinking, âThe first thing I should do now is to find a town where humans live? I have to find out what to eat and where to sleep first.â
At this moment, a violent roar suddenly sounded in the distance, it sounded like the voice of a flying dragon, and then a huge explosion sounded; this time, it was the sound of flame explosion magic.
Robb looked for where the sound came from, and a large first burst into the sky.
Then, the double-legged flying dragon I had seen just now flew into the air, rapidly spinning mid-air. Several arrows flew up from the ground, but they were all dodged by it or beaten down by its wings. Then, it roared and rushed down to the ground.
âOh? It seems that the three people just fought with the double-legged dragon?â
Robb has already seen this kind of thing a lot. Walking around in the game, he often sees squads formed by players to fight against small bosses living in the wild. He really isnât interested in getting involved.
However, now he needs to find a town where humans live to find food and a place to live. Rather than searching blindly, he might as well ask those three people.
The warrior seems to have asked him earlier if he was a resident of Westwind Town, which, thinking about it the other way around, is there a nearby town called Westwind Town. So, I can just ask how they get to Westwind Town.
Robb took a big step forward and walked towards the direction where the three were fighting with the flying dragon.
