Chapter 5: What a crappy reward

"Game? What game?" The old village chief looked at George blankly. George stared at the old village chief and then remembered that the person standing in front of him was just a "system-generated" figure instead of the old man before. Why was he talking to him about this? "Don't worry about it for now. If you don't have a special weapon or a mystical beast, what do you have?" George asked. "Nothing." the old village chief shook his head. "Nothing?!"George jumped up, "I completed the mission you gave, but you don't have any rewards for me. You're not keeping it for yourself, are you?" Feeling George's suspicious gaze, the old village chief was triggered, "No means no, why would I keep it for myself? Am I that kind of person?" George looked at the old village chief carefully while rubbing his chin, "You do look like someone who would do that." George's words made the chief's face flushed with anger. He pulled a book out from his pocket, threw it at George and said, "Take it and leave quickly." "You really did plan to keep it for yourself! You're a horrible person, chief." George took the thread-bound book and said with a look of surprise. "Get out! Get out!" The old village chief was so furious that he almost couldn't breathe. "Okay." He got the reward. Although it was not a special weapon or a mythical beast, it was still better than nothing. George didn't persist and just left with it. The old village chief watched as George was leaving and said to himself with lingering anger, "Gosh, I was so pissed by the boy that I actually gave away the family heirloom. Forget it, I'll just treat it as a welcome gift to him.” On the other side, George also opened the book with great anticipation, wanting to see what it was. When he opened the book, it turned into a ball of golden light and entered his body, and then he heard the robotic sound in his ears again. "Congratulations on learning the appraisal skill." George then opened his attribute panel and found that his character attribute interface had an additional list for skills, and currently, the only thing in this list was the appraisal skill. Appraisal Skill: Used on a target to obtain target information. The level of detail for the information obtained is related to the strength gap between the two parties. "Appraisal skill? That seems pretty good." After George read the summary of the skill, he was quite satisfied. Although it was not as good as special weapons, mythical beasts and the like, the appraisal skill was still quite practical. As the saying goes, knowledge is power. With this skill, he will be able to gain information on the opponent in advance, and take the right measures to beat him or her. "I don't know if the old village chief has any other good stuff. If there is a chance, I will squeeze more benefits out of him." George was thinking about how to get more treasures from the old village chief. On the other hand, the old village chief sneezed, and felt uneasy deep down in his heart. "Cluck cluck coo." When George Wu was about to visit the "Novice Village", several chickens appeared not far away. George subconsciously thought they were wild monsters and wanted to attack them, but then he saw a middle-aged woman struggling to catch those chickens. George used the appraisal skill on the chickens, and a piece of information appeared in front of his eyes. "Rooster: Two years old and raised by Aunty Wang. It is plump and has delicious meat." George was embarrassed for a while, but fortunately he didn't act rashly. This was obviously not a wild monster. If he killed it, his owner would probably ask him to compensate. "Young man, do me a favour and help me catch them." At this time, the middle-aged woman said to George. "Me?" George Wu pointed at himself and said, "Okay." There was nothing to do anyway, and George realized that this was a game world. That was why these aborigines were asking him to help. These were "missions". There will be rewards for completing it, so naturally he would not refuse. . However, George originally thought that catching chickens would be simple. In fact, it took more time than fighting monsters. These chickens were really cunning, and they would run away when they see someone approaching. George Wu and the woman, Aunt Wang, worked hard for more than an hour before catching all the chickens. "Thank you, young man." Aunty Wang said gratefully to George Wu. "You're welcome." George's tone was polite, but he stared at Aunty Wang. It was obvious that he was waiting for the next reward. "You have been busying for a long time, and if I don't express my gratitude, I will feel very sorry. Just hang on a second." After speaking, Aunty Wang turned and went back into her house. My, my, the reward is coming! Will it be a special weapon, a mystical beast, or a top-notch skill? George's heart was full of expectations. Aunty Wang didn't keep him waiting for long and came out of the house quickly, holding a big bowl in her hand. "Young man, this is the chicken that I cooked. Take it and try it." Aunty Wang handed the bowl in her hand to George. George was dumbfounded. What is going on? Where is my reward? Where is my artifact? If you don't have an artifact, just give me some random equipment. It'll still be better than the broken stick in my hand. What's the point of giving me a bowl of chicken? What kind of reward is this? "Why, do you dislike my cooking?" As George did not accept the bowl for a long time, Aunty Wang's expression changed slightly. She seemed a little unhappy. "No, no." George said quickly, "Forget about the chicken, I just helped a little." "How can that be okay? This is my way of thanking you. If you don't take it, that means you are looking down on me." The unhappy look on Aunty Wang face became more evident. Seeing this, George had no choice but to take it. He squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you then." "You're welcome." Seeing George take the bowl, a smile appeared on Aunty Wang's face again: "If you think it's delicious, you can come to my place to eat again in the future." "Okay." George replied. Aunty Wang went back with satisfaction, leaving George to stand there for a while. When he realised that she had no intention of coming out again, he became sure that the bowl of chicken in his hand was his reward for helping Aunty Wang catch the chicken. "Perhaps, this chicken is special and eating it can increase my attributes?" George guessed. George immediately grabbed a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth with anticipation. Wow! It's so delicious! As soon as the chicken entered his mouth, George felt a rich aroma filling his mouth. It stimulated his taste buds and made George involuntarily close his eyes to taste it carefully. "This chicken is scrumptious." When he put the whole piece of chicken into his mouth, George's eyes opened in surprise. It's not like George had never eaten chicken before. However, he just discovered today that the taste of the chicken he ate before was nothing compared with the piece of chicken he just ate. George could swear that the one he just ate was the most delicious piece he had ever eaten. Looking at the remaining chicken in the bowl, George eyes lit up, and he started to eat with gusto.
