Chapter 4 I'm Not Hiding Anymore, I'm Laying My Cards on the Table

Watching the players busily at work, Zhang Pingfan felt a sense of ease, but he was contemplating his next move.

"System, now that the villa is built, what should I do next?"

[Ding! Please complete the first task first, host.]

"Damn, what use are you then!"

Fifty people worked quickly, especially in the game, which sped up the time considerably. In less than an hour, the villa was completely renovated.

[Ding! System prompt, Player a has completed the task you posted. Due to the use of a double task card, you have received a level increase of 2 levels (temporarily unable to display, accumulating) and 10 free attribute points.]

[Ding! System prompt, Player b has completed the task you posted. Due to the use of a double task card, you have received a level increase of 2 levels (temporarily unable to display, accumulating) and 10 free attribute points.]

[Ding! System prompt, Player c has completed the task you posted. Due to the use of a double task card, you have received a level increase of 2 levels (temporarily unable to display, accumulating) and 10 free attribute points.]

...

A total of 51 system prompts, Zhang Pingfan was too lazy to look.

The players who completed the task were all excited. In less than an hour, they earned 5 more levels worth of attributes than others. They wouldn't mind a hundred more such tasks.

"Village Chief handsome guy, are there any more tasks? We're full of energy!"

Zhang Pingfan waved his hand and said, "No more, no more, hurry up and go."

The cute girl Dou Youyou, with the crowd, tried to leave again. However, Zhang Pingfan had his mind set on her and once again dragged her back.

"Little girl, where are you going?"

Dou Youyou stuck out her tongue and said, "Mr. Village Chief, with my current abilities, I should be able to farm monsters to level up. I won't bother you."

Zhang Pingfan said, "No rush, what if I have another task?"

[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations on completing the task of repairing the villa. The task reward is an axe!]

"Damn it!"

An axe appeared in Zhang Pingfan's hand. It was plain and unremarkable, without any light, and had no rating. It was just an axe!

"You damn system, how can you present this thing?"

[Ding! Curse me as a damn system again, and I'll strike you dead with lightning!]

The intelligent system suddenly changed its voice, no longer bothering to pretend.

Zhang Pingfan trembled with fear. He looked up at the sky, thankfully clear.

"So it really is a girl. But you're too stingy, only giving me a lousy axe?"

[Ding! The system reward has been issued. Please wait for the next task.]

The voice turned back into a synthesized electronic sound. However, Zhang Pingfan now knew that there was a hot-tempered young lady behind it, and he dared not be reckless anymore. What if she really took away his system? He seemed to be getting a bit addicted.

"Dou Youyou, right? Come in and take a look with me."

Dou Youyou said with a reluctant expression, "Mr. Village Chief, I've already seen the courtyard. There's nothing to see. I'll go level up first."

After speaking, she darted away and disappeared. Her body turned transparent and then vanished.

"Damn, she logged off. Fine, I'll take a look myself!"

Zhang Pingfan walked into the courtyard that belonged to him. Although it looked brand new from the outside, when Zhang Pingfan entered, he found it completely empty.

"Damn it, System Girl, why is my house empty?"

[Ding! Furniture can only be added after completing tasks. The only furniture currently available is an axe!]

Zhang Pingfan's eyebrows twitched. If he hadn't known there was a young lady behind it, he would have definitely said a few words. Oh well, a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

Looking at the empty house, Zhang Pingfan had a sudden inspiration. Didn't the village chief have a lot of things in his warehouse? It was a waste not to use them.

"Hehe..."

After logging off, Dou Youyou couldn't help but wake up her sister who was still playing beside her.

"What's wrong, Youyou? Why aren't you diligently leveling up? It's only been an hour since the server opened, you can't miss the golden time for leveling!"

Dou Youyou said, "Sister, I'm in Novice Village No. 88!"

Dou Junwan looked surprised, then showed a helpless expression.

There was no way for information to be shared between novice villages, so they didn't know each other's locations.

"I heard, I heard your novice village chief is a weirdo. He doesn't issue tasks, and many people have complained!"

Dou Youyou said, "No, he does issue tasks!"

"How is that possible? I heard in the novice village that the highest level in your novice village is only level 4, while ours are level 6, and even I am level 5."

Dou Youyou replied, "That was before. Later, he released tasks with rewards of 5 free attribute points."

Dou Junwan's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What? 5 free attribute points? What kind of abnormal task is that? Did you get it?"

Dou Youyou nodded and said, "Yes, I took a total of 2 tasks and got 10 free attribute points. I'm a Priest. Should I add them to stamina or intelligence?"

"10 free attribute points, Youyou, how did you manage that? Such abnormal rewards, the task must be an SSS-class, you're too lucky, your sister is envious of you."

Dou Youyou chuckled, "It was such an easy task, just serving tea and water to the village chief, and watching others repair the village chief's house. It was completed in less than an hour. Many people received rewards of 5 free attribute points."

"Holy cow! Little girl, your luck today is really great. With your current base attributes, you've directly caught up to level 10 players. It's truly abnormal. With the addition of equipment, you might become the strongest Priest!"

Dou Junwan couldn't help but curse. She was truly envious, especially gaining 10 free attribute points more than others, which was already incredibly powerful.

Dou Youyou was happily beaming, she was also extremely pleased, otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered her sister.

Dou Junwan stroked Dou Youyou's small head and said, "You're a Priest, and you're quite fragile. Now that you have 10 more free attribute points than others, it's recommended to put them all into stamina. More health is never a bad thing."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking. Anyway, normal leveling also gives attribute points."

"Let's log in. If your village chief still releases tasks, make sure you get them. Who knows, there might be more good things."

Dou Junwan sighed a little, wondering why she wasn't in Novice Village No. 88.

In the game, after more than an hour of arrangement, Zhang Pingfan's small courtyard finally began to take shape. Everything that should be there was almost in place.

"Phew, it's finally done."

Zhang Pingfan opened his attribute panel. He hadn't assigned the free attribute points from the double reward yet. There were a total of 520 points.

Without thinking, Zhang Pingfan put all of them into stamina.

"Alas, if I were a player, with these 520 free attribute points, I'd be invincible. Too bad I have to be an NPC!"

With these 520 stamina attribute points added, Zhang Pingfan's HP directly soared from the initial 100 points to 5300 points. Each stamina attribute point provided 10 points of base HP, plus the original 100 points, so it was 5300 HP, making him a veritable tank.

"Damn, with this much HP, even a tank would shake their head. The key is that it's useless to me, what a pain."

[Ding! System prompt: The system is issuing you a new task, to kill the novice village's top boss, the Titan Python. Please complete it within 1 day. If the task fails, all will be confiscated!]

Damn it!
