Chapter 620: Chapter 260: Generosity Trial Completed in Succession, Advanced Talent! (6000)

Yaskin appeared pensive.

Then, he shook his head and said, “Returning to the Lord, I haven’t heard about this.”

Cao Xing nodded slightly; he hadn’t held high hopes.

The hint on the doll just mentioned that clues could be found in the village.

But the search area was too vast.

“Let’s go, we’ll continue strolling around the village.”

After saying this, Cao Xing led Liu Muxue, Assam, Renice, and Yaskin for a walk around the village.

Soon, they crossed the street at the village entrance and entered Anno River Village.

Similar to the outside, every household here had some decorations hanging at the door, with smoke curling up from the chimneys, full of life.

The ground in Hog Village was rather slippery, or rather, muddy.

Every step made a squishing sound.

This couldn’t be helped.

After all, this place wasn’t like Cao Xing’s territory, which was fully paved with a layer of bluestone floors that were both dirt-resistant and aesthetically pleasing.

The streets of Anno River Village were simply dirt roads, and after snow, everyone stepping on them made them even more muddy.

They hadn’t walked far when Cao Xing noticed a shabbily dressed old woman huddled in the corner of a house.

She seemed to have been squatting there for a long time, her body trembling slightly.

Noticing Cao Xing’s gaze,

Yaskin explained from the side, “Lord, these are some beggars.”

“They usually come from other places either because their villages faced drastic changes or something happened in their family, making it impossible for them to survive.”

“So they can only go to other villages to beg along the streets.”

Cao Xing nodded slightly.

He intended to ignore it.

But he suddenly remembered his [Generosity Trial] task, which was about helping those truly in need.

So, he stepped forward and asked, “Elderly person, do you need any help?”

The old woman slowly lifted her head, revealing a face full of wrinkles.

“This…kind young man…could you give me something to eat…”

“I haven’t eaten in a long time…”

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, then directly took out some white bread and drinking water from his backpack and placed them in front of her.

“Please, elderly person, use these.”

The old woman looked at the bread in her hands, suddenly showing a fierce glint in her eyes, like a beast that had been starved for days spotting raw meat!

However, she did not eat immediately. Instead, she bowed and sincerely thanked Cao Xing.

“Thank you…kind young man…may you have pleasant dreams…”

Just as Cao Xing was about to say it was nothing, a system prompt appeared.

[Attention, Survivor! As you have helped someone truly in need, the Generosity Trial task has been completed.]

[Knight’s Five Virtues Test: Generosity Trial progress has been updated.]

[Current progress: 2/5]

…

Cao Xing was taken aback, “Uh, is it that simple?”

“You just need to give some food and water to complete a task?”

In the next moment, surprise flashed in his eyes!

Cao Xing quickly glanced at the street, finding several beggars similar to the old woman.

“Great! In this way, can’t I easily complete this trial?”

But when he replicated his method and found a second beggar to give food and water.

The system prompt did not appear again.

Cao Xing frowned and when he found the third beggar to give food and water, the task still wasn’t completed.

Not only that.

The other beggars in the village also stared at Cao Xing with greedy eyes, as if they might pounce at any moment.

However, when they noticed the tall Assam and Renice, who was carrying a longbow next to him.

The beggars were finally afraid of the terrifying aura faintly emanating from the two of them and didn’t come over.

Cao Xing pondered for a moment, “Can the same type of task only be completed once?”

“In other words, helping these beggars further wouldn’t work anymore.”

He shook his head.

“It seems I can only look for clues in other aspects.”

So, he continued to wander around the village.

After advancing a few hundred meters, the group arrived at a lively area where someone seemed to be performing acrobatics.

One person was holding a bamboo pole, while another was performing various difficult maneuvers at the top of the pole.

“Bravo!”

“That was impressive!”

There was a round of applause from the crowd.

Just as he was about to join the crowd, he suddenly felt a hand touch his waist.

It seemed someone wanted to snatch his backpack.

Cao Xing, being a Fourth Rank Frost Mage, had extremely quick reflexes.

He swiftly turned around and grabbed randomly!

A young boy, dirty all over, was caught by him, lifted high in his hand.

“Let…let go of me…you jerk!”

The little guy was held by his collar, flailing his limbs wildly in the air, still seemingly trying to struggle.

The surrounding villagers saw the commotion and started to look over.

However, when they saw the little guy Cao Xing was holding, their eyes showed no sympathy.

Instead, there was a chorus of applause.

“Haha, Safite tries to do this kind of thing again, caught in the act this time!”

“That’s right, this rascal does this every day, not sparing even the villagers, truly disgraceful!”

“Folks, come and see, Safite was caught by this gentleman!”

Listening to the people’s discussions, Cao Xing understood something.

This young boy trying to steal his backpack seemed to have done such things often, and had long become infamous.
