Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

"DiDi Di Di Di Di Di Di Di Di!"

The next morning, Wu Ming was woken up by the alarm clock he set for 8 a.m.!

"I shouldn't have set the alarm so early!" He got up uncomfortably, went straight to the kitchen to boil some water, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face.

After washing up, Wu Ming yawned and returned to the kitchen. He skillfully opened the refrigerator, took out luncheon meat, and took out a pack of instant noodles from the box next to him!

Because of the MapleStory world fusion, there was a wave of doomsday shopping around the world, with a large number of people buying whatever they saw in the supermarket! Wu Ming was no exception, and he prepared a lot of food a month ago and piled it in the kitchen and refrigerator!

Why not go out to eat or order takeout? How could it be possible!

Even the old folks who are about to die have traveled to the world of MapleStory to prolong their lives! Tumbleweeds are growing in the streets now!

Not to mention the deliverymen, the bosses of a certain American and a certain hungry company are all collecting supplies and want to make a try in the MapleStory world, and those deliverymen are the best workers they have!

He quickly finished the instant noodles in his hand and drank a bottle of soda. Then Wu Ming raised his hand. The next moment, a spark of soul appeared in the palm of his hand and slowly rotated.

Consciousness communicated with the spark of the soul again, and the next moment, the room in front of Wu Ming seemed to be exchanged with the void, and slowly appeared in the green space.

"About to be transferred to MapleStory World!"

The countdown ended and Wu Ming felt dizzy.

"Dimension number: Rainbow Island, entry successful!"

Wu Ming stood at the port of Treasure Island, and what caught his eye were three big words - Pearl Port!

Walking forward, we saw a village that was countless times larger than Nangang Port. The indigenous residents were working and playing at the same time!

After walking around, I saw a few time travelers crossing the map. Some of them were looking for the indigenous people of Pearl Harbor and asking them one by one if they needed help!

Wu Ming had seen this situation before in a post on Baidu. It was said that someone got a task because the indigenous people came to ask for advice. The task could be completed by eating a green apple. After completing it, he was directly promoted to the next level!

Of course, there are definitely free quests like this, but they won't necessarily land in your hands! Perhaps they're favorability quests! Otherwise, what's the point of getting 100% favorability from Sansax before?

As Wu Ming watched, he was thinking about all sorts of messy questions in his mind!

There was actually a black taxi! Wu Ming walked over to take a look. There was no driver, but there was a sign hanging next to the car body that read:

"Hello! This taxi is for VIP customers only. Instead of regular taxis that just take you to different towns, we offer a much better service worthy of VIP status. It's a little pricey, but for... just 100,000 Maple Leaf Coins, we'll take you safely to Ant Square!"

"Ant Square? A place to fight ant monsters? Forget it, we don't even know what level the ant monsters are! If it's an ant nest, we're done for!"

Looking at the introduction sign hanging outside the black taxi, Wu Ming complained about his own weak level, then continued to walk forward without looking back.

After walking about ten meters, he saw a small bus station. Wu Ming walked over again out of curiosity!

"Pearl Harbor Minibus! For just 10,000 Maple Leaf Coins, this bus will take you to your desired village in an instant! Simply enter the bus and insert your coins!"

"Wow! Is this just an ordinary taxi? It's so ordinary that even ordinary people can't afford to ride it!"

Without the massive crowds and hustle and bustle of Rainbow Island, Wu Ming quickly reached the end of the village at Pearl Harbor. He felt completely at ease, having no need to wait in line at all.

"Hello, brave adventurer!"

Just as he was about to walk to the next teleportation array, he suddenly heard someone calling him

Wu Ming stopped in surprise, only to see a shirtless, muscular man blocking his path. He frowned and asked warily, "What's going on?"

The muscular man introduced himself.

"My name is Kun. I smell the breath of death of a powerful monster from you. Are you the adventurer who saved Brother Shanks?" The man named Kun showed off his muscles while talking to Wu Ming, with a hint of admiration and curiosity in his eyes.

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be the one who protects Brother Shanks's safety!"

Wu Ming's heart moved. So that's why. No wonder this native would take the initiative to talk to him. He answered Kun with a smile on his face.

Kun's eyes flashed with excitement, and he said, "It's you, I've heard about your deeds a long time ago, but I didn't expect to meet you here today."

He extended his hand enthusiastically, shook hands with Wu Ming, and then said, "To repay you for saving Brother Sachs' life, I suggest you go to Shooter Village and find a little brat named Pia! He loves powerful adventurers the most!"

Wu Ming was a little surprised, but still nodded, thinking to himself, could it be that the mission of the natives of the MapleStory world was triggered?

"Since Brother Kun has said so, I will definitely go to Shooter Village to find that little brat named Pia and share my adventures with him!"

Following Kun's words, the next moment, a task choice appeared in front of Wu Ming.

[Do you accept the commission from Mingzhu Port-Kun and go to Sagittarius Village to find a little boy named Pia? ]

“You must accept it!”

Wu Ming looked at the task that appeared in the taskbar and chose to accept it without saying a word!

In the real world of MapleStory, many indigenous residents do not believe in adventurers. After all, there have been cases in the past where adventurers from other villages killed their clients and directly received rewards from the clients. After that incident, most villages no longer like to interact with each other!

So this is why, after traveling here for so long, I haven’t seen many people get the mission!

"With your current strength, I don't think you can cross the forest outside Pearl Harbor. If you choose to cross the forest to reach Shooter Village, then I suggest you form a team and set off again! Otherwise, just take the minibus at the station behind. We villagers take this bus to other villages, and it arrives in seconds, so it's convenient and fast!"

Seeing Wu Ming accept his commission, Kun spoke up to remind him.

After listening to the careful reminder from the muscular man Kun, Wu Ming thanked him and prepared to walk towards the taxi.

Suddenly thinking of something, Wu Ming thought for a while, turned around and walked back before taking a few steps, and stopped in front of Kun who was doing gymnastics.

"Adventurer, do you want to follow me to develop muscular tones?"

Looking at Wu Ming who came back, Kun flexed his muscles and said with confusion and excitement.

"Excuse me, is there anyone in Treasure Island who I can learn new skills from?"

Wu Ming suddenly turned back because he remembered the tip he had received when the goddess blessed him. He realized that not only did he have an endless supply of skill points, but he also had a buff that allowed him to learn any skill.

This sparked a bold thought: What if he could try learning the skills of other professions? What kind of changes and possibilities would arise if he could successfully master these skills? This thought excited him so much that he decided to turn around and ask Kun.

"Each village is guarded by a powerful adventurer. That adventurer can teach others skills, but I'm not sure if they're willing to teach adventurers themselves. You can go to each village and ask around.

For example, the Archer Village you're about to visit is world-famous for its archery skills. There's also an adventurer who's incredibly skilled with a bow and arrow!

Kun told Wu Ming the information without reservation. Perhaps in this adventure world, such knowledge is common sense to everyone.

Hearing Kun's answer, Wu Ming said gratefully, "Thank you!" Then, he turned around and walked towards the taxi without hesitation.

He got in the car and said he needed to go to Shooter Village, and the next moment a reminder appeared in front of him.

[Do you want to deduct 10,000 Maple Leaf Coins and go to Shooter Village? ]

"confirm!"

A moment later, Wu Ming shook and heard the prompt sound that he had arrived at Shooter Village.

Open the door, get off the car, and what you see is a village with a similar style to Rainbow Village, surrounded by a combination of wood and mushroom styles!

There is a large electronic signboard next to it with the three big words "Shooter Village" written on it!

After leaving the station, Wu Ming spotted a tall twin tree not far away. The tree had been transformed into a small playground, its branches and trunk interwoven into various shapes. Children happily climbed and jumped on it, their laughter echoing from time to time.

"Hello, kids. Do you know a kid named Pia? Someone asked me to talk to him."

Wu Ming walked towards the group of children, smiled and asked as he looked at the group of children in front of him.

"I know! I know!" Hearing Wu Ming's question, the children stopped what they were doing and one of the taller children shouted.

"I know where Pia is. I can take you to find him, but you have to pay for the trip!"

The clever little boy rolled his bright eyes and said to Wu Ming with a smile.

If nothing unexpected happens, this tall little boy should be the king of this group of children!

"No problem, as long as we can find Pia."

Wu Ming smiled and took out 100 Maple Leaf Coins from his backpack and handed them to the leader of the kids. For him, as long as the task was completed, giving a few Maple Leaf Coins was no problem!

The little boy took the money, danced with joy, and turned to shout to his other friends.

"You guys play here first. I'll buy some strawberries, watermelons, melons and other ice creams and invite you all to eat together!" Then he looked at Wu Ming and said, "Come on, follow me." After that, he skipped towards the village.

Wu Ming watched this scene and recalled his childhood, then followed the little boy and walked towards the village.

"Hey! Big sis, no one's renting your gear yet!"

"Wow! Brother Yahua is going to take the book home to read again!"

"The village chief is basking in the sun again!"

The village isn't huge, but it's still much bigger than Rainbow Village! And it's clear everyone here is familiar! Watching the little boy walk along, he'd occasionally say hello to the people working nearby!

Wu Ming couldn't help but feel relaxed, as if he was back in the countryside!

"There's a large park in our village up ahead. Usually, during annual festivals, everyone holds events there! Pia must have come here by himself! He often likes to just sit there and stare blankly!"

The little boy skipped to the entrance of a park, excitedly pointed at the large park and said to Wu Ming, "Look, this is our park!" After that, he couldn't wait to grab Wu Ming's hand and walked into the park.

Wu Ming looked at the park with curiosity, a sense of novelty welling up in his heart. It was surprising to see so few people in such a large park. They passed a sign for a pet park, but didn't see anyone inside. The little boy quickly pulled them forward.

Standing before a massive alarm clock, Wu Ming gazed at it in amazement, as if beholding a magical work of art. The clock looked long forgotten, moldy, yet it exuded a unique charm. Three mushrooms grew atop the large alarm clock. The caps on the left and right sides were a vibrant green, like a lush meadow. The central mushroom, however, was larger than the others, sporting a vibrant red cap that looked poisonous.

The most eye-catching part, however, is the small wooden door in the middle of the red mushroom. Every minute, the door automatically opens, and a lovely flower mushroom pops out, leaps joyfully, and then quickly retracts into the door. This series of movements is like a wonderful performance, which makes people marvel at it.

Wu Ming couldn't help but complain, wondering what kind of love and obsession this designer has for mushrooms to be able to create such a unique and bizarre design!

The little boy finally stopped and pointed at the alarm clock happily and said, "Hey! Pia should be in a daze behind this alarm clock. You can see her if you go over there! Thank you for the 100 Maple Leaf Coins! I'm going to go back and play first!"

After saying that, the little boy left a series of thanks and goodbyes, then turned and left.

Wu Ming watched the little boy leave with a smile, amusement welling up in his heart. He knew the boy was probably more grateful for the 100 Maple Leaf coins, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that he had finally found what he was looking for—Pia.

Wu Ming looked in the direction the little boy pointed, and sure enough, he saw a child sitting quietly next to the alarm clock, with a confused look in his eyes, as if he was in a daze.

There was no doubt that the little boy in front of him was Pia he was looking for.

"Hello! Are you Pia?"

Looking at the dazed little boy in front of him, Wu Ming interrupted his daze!

"Ah~ I'm so pissed! These stinky blue mushrooms! I won't let you go!! Eh? Are you an adventurer?"

Pia, who was in a daze after being interrupted, spoke with a confused look on her face!

Good guy, he was daydreaming about hitting mushrooms!
