READ NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 3: Chapter 3
In the wilderness, the breeze was blowing gently, and some small animals were running around in the jungle.
Suddenly... a strong wind blew up, and the storm of strong wind whistled around, scaring the small animals around to jump around.
The next moment, a dark and terrifying black hole that seemed to be able to swallow everything slowly took shape.
After a while, click, click... clear footsteps came from it, and soon a figure walked out. He was more than 1.8 meters tall, wearing a wide robe, but it could not hide the strong and powerful body under the robe.
Through some places, you can vaguely see the scraps of tactical clothing wrapped in the robe.
"The world of"Alibaba and the Forty Thieves" is set in ancient times, so wearing a tactical uniform is not a wise choice. Therefore, Rock deliberately made a robe that was not too out of place. It may not be 100% in line with this era, but at least it will not attract too much attention from the"natives".
Rock looked around, took a deep breath, and his eyes were slightly different.
"The air is much fresher than the modern world."
The next moment, Rock's eyes retracted.
A light curtain appeared out of thin air, and new changes appeared on the light curtain.
Current world: Alibaba and the Forty Thieves
Alienation degree: None
World strategy degree: 0%
Strategy mission:
①: Kill forty thieves. Each kill will earn you 2% of the strategy progress. Currently killed (0/40)
②: Become friends with Alibaba and get 10% of the strategy progress
③: Kill Alibaba to get 10% of the strategy progress
④: Kill Cassim to get 10 strategy progress.
(PS: When the strategy progress reaches 100%, you can get the sovereignty of this world.)
Rock stroked his chin. The four tasks, the total progress has exceeded 100%, which means that you don't need to complete all the tasks, you can freely choose tasks according to your mood, which is quite humane.
In addition, 100% of the world sovereignty can be obtained? Is it to become the master of this world? Or to become a king?
The meanings of the two are completely different. The latter is to become a ruler, while the former is to become a kind of existence similar to the dimensional demon god, with absolute control over the entire world.
After a moment, Rock shook his head. It's useless to think about it here. Don't you know what the effect is when you get it?
"Let's go find Alibaba first."
Although it is not impossible to kill the forty thieves head-on with the configuration under Rock's robe, it requires certain risks.
After all, there are forty people, not forty chickens.
In comparison, there is actually a simpler way.
Find Alibaba, the protagonist, and let Alibaba and the forty thieves face off.
Wouldn't it be nice to reap the benefits yourself? It is not difficult to find Alibaba, because Alibaba is a"celebrity".
The two brothers, the poor Alibaba and the wealthy Cassim, have always been a topic of discussion.
Not long after, Rock changed into a tattered robe, came to the outside of Alibaba's residence, and sat down casually.
After a while, the door was opened, and Alibaba, whose clothes were not tattered but extremely old, walked out.
""Kind man, can you give me some food?"
Alibaba frowned. His life was already extremely poor, and he was unwilling to give food to others.
However, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice and was stunned for a moment.
The man who asked him for food, although wearing extremely shabby clothes, was very handsome and heroic, especially his eyes. He was not well educated, but he felt vaguely that it was not the eyes of an ordinary person, and was completely different from those of the real poor people like them.
In an instant, the ancient stories emerged from his mind, the tests of ancient sages, the temptations of big men, and so on.
Alibaba was not lacking in cleverness. He rolled his eyes, turned around immediately and went back to the rent, gritted his teeth, took out a piece of grain cake that his family was reluctant to eat, ran out in a hurry, and squeezed a full smile on his face.
"Hello, please eat. I happen to have some surplus food at home."
Rock took the food, took a small bite, and frowned. The taste was indeed a bit unpalatable.
However, his frown made Alibaba breathe heavily.
This kind of food cake was already a very delicious food for them, but this person seemed to be unable to accept it. It was very likely that he was really an important person, or even a big person who ate meat every day.
Opportunity, this is his opportunity!
Rock chewed the food cake bite by bite. It took him several minutes to finish a piece of food cake that was not even as big as a palm.
After eating the food cake, Rock looked at Alibaba.
"Good Samaritans, your kindness should be rewarded"
"I can give you two rewards now, you can choose one."
Alibaba's face suddenly showed excitement, as expected, this is his chance!
"You, you, please say"
"I can teach you a skill, and you can slowly gain rewards through this skill and become a wealthy civilian.
Alibaba was delighted at first, but soon frowned. Getting a skill and becoming a wealthy civilian was certainly a joyous thing, but it was not enough. This was very different from what he had imagined. This big man seemed a little too stingy.
"It seems that this choice does not satisfy you, then you should listen to my second choice for you."
"OK, please tell me"
"Legend has it that there was a group of evil people, they were called the Forty Thieves, they had a huge amount of treasure like a mountain, they hid their treasure in a secret place, and a magical password was needed to open the entrance to the treasure."
The more Alibaba listened, the brighter his eyes became, the rich treasure like a mountain, how much treasure it was - it was beyond his imagination
"Please tell me the magic code."
Rock smiled and shook his head:"Then you need to find it yourself."
"Go to the forest, there are the answers you want."
Said Rock, stood up and slowly left.
Behind him, Alibaba's eyes kept changing. Soon, he gritted his teeth, turned around, rode his donkey, and rushed towards the forest.
At this time, on a big tree, Rock held a telescope, overlooking Alibaba's location, with a smile on his lips.
In the original book, Alibaba is the protagonist and is also recognized as a 'good man' in the fairy tale.','The protagonist!
But, in fact, is this guy really just a simple good person?
Your good man, seeing the robbers' lair, didn't run away quickly, but dared to run in to take a look?
Moreover, there is another interesting thing. After Alibaba became rich, the first thing he did was not to buy, buy, buy, buy, or show off his wealth, but to let his wife take luxurious jewelry to his brother's house who had always been doing better than him. Then, he was interrogated by his brother Cassim, and Cassim also knew the secret of the treasure. In the end, he was killed by the robbers because he forgot the password to open the door.
So the question is, why did he let his wife go to his brother's house in the first place? As a younger brother, how could he not know what his brother's character is?
In addition, there are indeed two passwords to open the door, sesame closes the door and sesame opens the door, with only one word different, and how could he forget it immediately? Is there a possibility that Alibaba actually only told the other party one?
