A few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Frostwood Village is not big. After a few days, all the villagers knew that the hunter team had a new member. They accepted the new resident "Jason Wood". They would say hello in a friendly manner when they met occasionally, and the atmosphere was simple and honest.

Ross was also known to the villagers, but he never interacted with others and was completely a follower of Zhou Jing, so his presence was not high.

Zhou Jing did not let Ross sit idle, and gave this tool man a full schedule. Not only did he conduct combat training, but he also learned forging from the blacksmith in the village.

The blacksmith was not happy at first, but after contacting him, he discovered that although Ross did not communicate with others, he would silently do whatever he asked him to do. The blacksmith then reluctantly accepted Ross as a blacksmith apprentice... Of course, it was mainly because of Zhou Jing's face.

superior.

Overall, the progress of integrating into the village was smoother than Zhou Jing expected.

On this day, Zhou Jing visited the village chief again and expressed that he wanted to borrow the only map of Shuangmu Village.

The map overview mode of the panel can collect the content of the physical map, unlock nearby areas, and achieve achievements when collecting the physical map for the first time.

There are many ways to obtain astral points, but daily collection requires settlement every time you return. During Advent, the main way to obtain astral points in real time is to trigger achievements.

In addition to exercising with Baron these days, Zhou Jing spent the rest of his time following the completion conditions revealed in the [Achievements List], looking for achievements that could be easily triggered at the moment, trying to earn points.

However, although there are many achievements in the list, there are currently only a few that can be easily completed.

After screening, he took the time to complete three daily achievements, namely [Rice Bucket], [Thug], and [Fatigue Driving].

One was eating so much that his stomach was so full that it was about to explode; the other was dragging the hunters into boxing, knocking them down ten times in total; the last one was exhausted after finishing a day's exercise, so he borrowed a head from an old farmer on the edge of the field.

The livestock used for plowing the fields, the cattle racing against the sunset...Three achievements, a total of 250 astral points will be awarded.

The village chief was deeply impressed by Zhou Jing and hoped that he would become a hunter of exotic animals and stay in the village. Naturally, he readily agreed to the request to borrow the map.

The two came to the back room, and Murakami took out a yellowed animal skin roll from the cabinet and spread it out on the table.

Zhou Jing glanced at the content and his face twitched slightly.

Wow, this painting skill is at the level of a preschooler!

But it’s good to have it, at least people know how to make maps.

Shaking his head, Zhou Jing tried his best to identify it and roughly understood it.

This is a map of the nearby area. In the center is a town called White Plains City, surrounded by several affiliated villages including Shuangmu Village. Shuangmu Village is the farthest remote village.

According to the information gathered over the past few days, the Terra Empire is not large in area, and its administrative divisions are relatively simple. The highest level is the fortress city, the next level is the town, and finally there are villages like Frostwood Village, which are spread out layer by layer.

Baiyuan City is equivalent to the "main city" of Frostwood Village and the center of this area.

[The physical map has been found, whether to include it]

[Collection completed, known areas refreshed]

[Tip: If you get a map of the same area, the details will be complementary and the regional map will be improved]

[Trigger achievement [Incorporating physical maps for the first time]!]

[Get 200 Star Points! Get [Auxiliary Function-Map Radar]!]

"New accessibility features?"

Zhou Jing's eyes lit up and he looked at the functions carefully.

This map radar function can display a nearby map within a certain range and display individuals in the area in real time. Unknown individuals are in red and known individuals are in green.

"It feels similar to a mini map and should be practical for exploration."

Zhou Jing nodded secretly... But the auxiliary function can only be switched during the pinching stage, and it definitely cannot be used now.

After receiving a new reward, plus the previous gains, the astral points on hand reached 727, which is a little less tight.

…

When Zhou Jing walked out of the village longhouse, he heard a childish voice calling him.

"Jason! Jason!"

Zhou Jing turned around and looked.

I saw a boy about ten years old striding over, with a tiger-like head and a face that was flushed by the cold wind.

This kid's name is Reiner, Grif's eldest son.

Zhou Jing stayed in the village for a few days, mainly communicating with Grif and Baron, so he also got to know Grif's family.

As soon as he saw this kid running towards him, Zhou Jing quickened his pace without saying a word.

"Wait for me!" Liner rushed up and stopped in front of Zhou Jing.

Zhou Jing stopped helplessly: "What are you doing again?"

"I want to hear stories from outside!" Reiner looked excited.

"What a coincidence, I want it too."

Zhou Jing's face was expressionless.

This kid has never left Frostwood Village and is full of yearning for the outside world.

Because he was a newcomer from outside, Reiner thought he knew a lot, and would pester him with questions from time to time, which made him feel helpless.

"If you want to know what's going on outside, you should pester Balon."

"I didn't dare... I ran into the forest alone before and he beat me hard."

Reiner whispered in an angry tone.

With Balon's strength, if he really wanted to hit you, you would have fallen apart...

Zhou Jing wondered if he should also spank the child.

At this time, Reiner laughed: "But you will definitely not hit me. Father said you are a good person, so you will definitely not bully me!"

"A good man?" Zhou Jing was a little surprised.

Because of his "open-mindedness", Griff respects him quite a lot, but this seems to have nothing to do with being a good person. I don't know how he evaluates him in private.

Reiner raised his chin: "Father has often said in the past few days that he admires you as a person. Everyone in the village knows that you never leave your friends with brain problems and take care of their daily lives every day. You are a good person!

"

What kind of friend with a brain problem...oh~~

Zhou Jing's expression froze and he looked back.

Hidden in the shadows on the street corner was a familiar figure peeping silently.

Ross:(o_O)

Zhou Jing: "..."

It seems that in the eyes of the villagers, I have been taking care of this stupid follower...

Zhou Jing was speechless and shook his head.

"Okay, get out of the way. I have to go to training. I don't have time to talk to you today. Let's talk about it later."

"Ah? Okay then." Reiner hesitated for a moment, then got out of the way and asked expectantly: "Then next time, can you tell me the story outside?"

"Next time I'll do it, next time I'll do it."

Zhou Jing quickly ran away.

He was about to go to the training ground, but as soon as he passed a few houses, he saw a familiar figure.

It was an old man dressed strangely, with oil paint on his face, two feathers in his head, wearing a robe woven with black feathers, and holding a cane in his hand - it was exactly what he saw in the "Will Wood" death replay.

The witch doctor arrived.

In the past few days since he came to the village, Zhou Jing has not met each other in the village, nor has he made a special trip to visit the pharmacist's hut outside the village.

Seeing Zhou Jing, the witch doctor was stunned for a moment, paused, and hesitated in place.

Why, are you afraid that my "family member" will get into medical trouble?

Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes, walked up to him, and said in a deep voice: "I am Jason Wood, the new hunter in the village, and you should be the witch doctor of Frostwood Village."

The witch doctor was hunched over and looked very old. He spoke like he was whispering: "It's me... I've heard of you too."

"It is said that you were the one treating my brother before he died?"

"Yes..." The witch doctor nodded as if he was too old to be able to do so, and only shook his head slightly.

"I haven't visited you in the past few days. I'm new here and not familiar with the village yet. Would you mind taking me to your apothecary's hut?"

Although Zhou Jing was asking, his tone was firm.

The witch doctor paused his crutch twice, seemed hesitant, and finally nodded.

"Okay, then come with me."

After saying that, he turned around and slowly led the way.

…

The two walked out of the village and walked along a small artificial dirt road for a while before they came to a small slope overlooking the village.
