“Begin scanning the entire body. Establishing a character model…

“Model established!”

His other self appeared before him in plain clothes. The realism was close to 100%. This was the power of eternal life.

“Do you want to adjust the appearance of the character?”

“No!”

Even if the character was ugly, it still couldn’t stop him from being handsome.

After adjusting the appearance, the game entered the countdown.

“10, 9, 8… 3, 2, 1!”

In a small village, the wind blew on the ground, bringing up some dust. A familiar scene, a familiar NPC, and… a familiar world.

“I’m back.”

Even though Bolts told himself not to be too emotional, he couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh. Other than Bolts, the other players were all very excited. After waiting for several years, players from all over the world were finally able to enter Eternal Life!

In the small village, one after another, the game characters, that looked like real people, were sent to this brand new world. In just a minute, countless servers and countless novice villages were filled with people. Countless players were like little black dots, walking back and forth.

Eternal Life was extremely popular. Even though the game helmet was sold for 20,000 USD, it still couldn’t stop the enthusiasm of the players.

“It’s finally starting. I’ve been dreaming about Eternal Life recently. I can’t eat well every day, so I’m just waiting.”

“It’s so real. Even the acne on my face is the same. Isn’t it amazing?”

“What’s this? Even the moles on my chest are the same. That’s what’s amazing.”

“Are you a man or a woman? I’m starting to fantasize.”

“Damn pervert, ‘Eternal’ has a protection system. How do you dare to act recklessly?”

“Stop shouting, stop shouting. If you don’t do the Newbie Quest, you’ll fall behind.”

As soon as this reminder rang out, everyone seemed to remember and quickly started moving. After receiving the Newbie Quest, they ran outside the village and fought to kill the chickens. The small, crowded village became empty in the blink of an eye.

Coming out into the huge wild unknown world, no matter how many people there were, they would still appear small.

Bolts did not follow the crowd, nor did he accept the Newbie Quest. He turned around and walked into the depths of the small village. He didn’t stop until he reached a small hut on the left side of the village.

A hunter was dealing with the corpse of an ordinary wild boar. He didn’t even raise his head.

The NPCs in Eternal Life could be treated as people from different cultures, not just a bunch of data.

They were real.

“Can you sell me the tusks of the wild boar?” Bolts asked.

The hunter ignored Bolts and continued cutting the carcass of the wild boar. He removed the fat and fat neatly. As expected, his level was not high enough to trigger the mission. But it did not matter. This was within Bolts’ expectations.

“Let’s train first and increase our strength.”

The hunter did not raise his head. His tone was very cold as he spoke. “What if I say that I can kill the Wild Boar King for you?”

“Are you not toying with me?”

The hunter’s expression suddenly changed. He finally raised his noble head. His eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Bolts. Even after looking at them a hundred times, Bolts felt that the subtle changes in his expression were real. Even a small NPC had a rich background story.

This was a hidden mission. The hunter’s youngest daughter had gone out of the village to play. Unfortunately, she had been killed by the Wild Boar King who had gone near the village because of the childbirth period.

Normally the process would require multiple missions for the hunter. Only when he was drunk and poured out his heart would he talk about his daughter’s death.

However, Bolts was a reincarnated person. This was a huge advantage.

Bolts sincerely raised his right palm and placed it on his left shoulder. He lowered his head slightly.  “I’m willing to work for you.”

“Ding! The hunter’s favorability towards you has increased by 10 points.”

Bolts’ eyes lit up. The process was correct, and his memory was correct. The favorability had to be increased before he could start the quest!

In Eternal Life, your attitude and the content of your words would affect the NPC’s favorability towards you.

The hunter said in a deep voice, “If you can really kill the Wild Boar King and take revenge for my daughter, I’ll give you the wild boar tusk!”

“Ding! Hidden Quest triggered: Kill the Wild Boar King!

Quest Details: The Wild Boar King has killed the hunter’s little daughter and he wants revenge. Retrieve the Wild Boar King’s corpse and the hunter will reward you handsomely. (Quest Countdown: 7 Days)

Quest Reward: 2,000 experience points, 10 silver coins, 3 potential points. Hidden Quest Special Reward: 3 free attribute points.”

“Accept the quest!”

“Hurry up and go. I will wait in the village day and night for your good news.”

“Wait.”

Bolts’ eyes burned with passion. He smiled and said, “Hunter, if I kill the Wild Boar King within three days, can you give me the wild boar tusk first?”

“Ding! Hunter is considering your deal!”

A read bar appeared in front of Bolts.

He clenched his hands. He knew the process of accepting a hidden mission, but this was the first time he had tried to shorten the time.

“Ding! The hunter has agreed to your request.”

The hunter got up and walked back into the house. After a few minutes, he slowly walked back out.

The hunter held a wild boar tusk in his hand. It had been polished by friction, engraved with complex patterns, and embedded with fine gems.

“Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the tusk of a wild boar!”
