The entire afternoon, Zhao Xin and Dou Youyou searched for the top 100 players in the novice village of No. 88.
While not everyone was willing to join the village chief's guard, over 60 of the top 100 players agreed!
The rest had, more or less, publicly pledged allegiance to the recruitment efforts of the other three major guilds.
Fortunately, the afternoon was indeed enough to fill the quota for the quest.
[Ding! System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest assigned by the village chief. You have received 10 free attribute points and a special appearance equipment!]
Not only did Dou Youyou receive special appearance equipment, but all the members who joined the guard also received one piece of special appearance equipment.
"Sister Youyou, I didn't expect there to be rewards for joining the guard. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Dou Youyou looked bewildered.
"What reward? What are you talking about?"
Zhao Xin produced a cape.
"Look, this is the appearance equipment rewarded to me for joining the guard! And it doesn't even occupy an equipment slot; it's an extra piece of equipment, and the attribute bonus is quite terrifying!"
"Ah, so you guys got them too? I thought I was the only one!"
Zhao Xin shook his head helplessly.
Dou Youyou also eagerly opened her own cape.
It was a little different from Zhao Xin's.
Zhao Xin's cape was black, while hers was red.
Not only that, but her cape was larger than Zhao Xin's.
This made Zhao Xin quite envious.
"Sister Youyou's reward is indeed better. How are the attributes of your cape?"
Dou Youyou replied, "Defense increased by 100, movement speed increased by 10%, physical attack increased by 100, magic attack increased by 100, and a passive ability that when the player's health drops below 50%, they automatically enter stealth mode for three seconds!"
Zhao Xin instantly felt that the cape in his hand was no longer appealing.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have asked. My base stats are half of yours, and I don't even have a passive. Sigh!"
Dou Youyou smiled.
"It can't be helped, he's my master. He has to be nice to his disciple!"
"That's true. Your quest is also completed. I'll continue to supervise. At the current pace, it will likely be finished by tomorrow morning at the earliest. For the free attribute points, charge!"
Soon, one hundred players wearing capes appeared in the novice village, which surprised some players.
"What's going on? Why do you have a cape?"
"Oh, I just joined the village chief's guard. This is a reward for joining the guard. It doesn't occupy an equipment slot; it's an additional bonus, and the attributes are amazing!"
"Holy cow, why did I refuse her earlier?"
"Damn it, don't I feel like I'm losing out? This is extra equipment, and it looks so cool!"
"Damn it, is it too late to join now?"
"What are you thinking? The numbers are already full. You can't join anymore!"
Those players who had refused earlier out of consideration for other matters were now filled with regret.
Zhang Pingfan also received the news of Dou Youyou completing the quest.
"That was quite fast. I thought it would take until evening at least, but it's done this afternoon!"
Zhang Pingfan casually distributed his double attribute points, as they were of no use to him anyway. He just clicked randomly.
At the same time, he received another item rewarded by the system: a dog.
And it was a live husky.
"Hey, haven't you finished delivering the kitchen utensils yet? What about the pots and pans!"
[Ding! I see your yard is lacking some vitality!]
Zhang Pingfan pointed at the sky and shouted, "You can't just give me a husky! This guy is a notorious destroyer of homes!"
[Ding! How about I replace it with a poodle?]
"Forget it. That guy is obsessed with everything, I can't stand it even more!"
However, it was strange. This husky was a little different from the huskies he remembered.
As soon as Zhang Pingfan received it, he casually tossed it aside.
As a result, the husky yawned and fell asleep, showing none of the usual husky energy.
At this moment, the gate to the small courtyard was pushed open, and Dou Youyou ran in excitedly.
"Master, look, doesn't this cape suit me well? I feel like a heroine now, a chivalrous woman!"
As she spoke, she struck a pose in front of Zhang Pingfan!
Not to mention, Dou Youyou perfectly embodied her figure, it was just that her baby face was a bit out of place!
"Swish!"
A dark shadow ran past and began to rub against Dou Youyou's long legs!
Yes, it was that sickly-looking, dead dog!
What the heck is this dead dog!
Dou Youyou was startled at first, but when she realized it was a husky, she immediately started petting it!
"Master, where did this husky come from? It's so cute! Its fur feels so real. Come here, sister, let me hug you!"
The husky showed a look of enjoyment on its face and even gave Zhang Pingfan a glance!
"Holy hell, you lecherous dog, get over here quickly!"
To his surprise, the dog hid in Dou Youyou's arms and acted spoiled.
Zhang Pingfan, enraged, directly pulled out a cleaver!
"Damn it, we're eating dog meat hot pot tonight!"
The husky, frightened, hid behind Dou Youyou!
Dou Youyou, protecting the husky, said, "Master, how can you bear to eat such a cute husky?"
Zhang Pingfan looked at the husky's smug expression and wanted to kick it.
This damned dog, how many years have I been single, and you, as soon as you arrive, you're out to provoke me! I haven't even held a girl's hand, and you're rubbing against me, damn it!
Zhang Pingfan said, "Then what should I keep it for?"
"It looks good, Master. Does it have a name?"
Zhang Pingfan glanced at the lecherous dog and said, "Ri Tian!"
The husky clearly understood and shook its head vigorously!
Dou Youyou said with disdain, "No, no, how about we call it Xiao Hua?"
The dog was even more unhappy, preferring the previous name.
Zhang Pingfan said, "It's Ri Tian!"
The dog immediately drooped its head, clearly not liking it, but unable to change it!
Soon, the two characters "Ri Tian" appeared above the dog's head!
Dou Youyou said indignantly, "It's not as good as Xiao Hua."
Zhang Pingfan said, "I think dog meat hot pot sounds good!"
"Then never mind, Ri Shou is also acceptable, it's just a bit chuunibyo!"
When Dou Youyou came to the small courtyard, the dog continuously played with her, completely ignoring Zhang Pingfan!
Ri Tian's arrival indeed brought a different atmosphere to the quiet courtyard!
The construction of the village was also accelerating. Because the highest level of monsters in the village was only level 20, Dou Youyou had to go to other main cities to level up.
She had intended to bring her sister, Dou Jun Wan, but found the level difference too great. Dou Youyou could only proceed alone!
As expected, the unexpected happened.
