Chapter 54: Players and NPCs
Zhao Ming, Mo Cang, and Feng Xiao listened carefully to Chunxiang's introduction of the three bronze-level tasks, and Roger drank sake and turned to lean against the counter to look at the adventurers in the guild hall.
The adventurers in the guild hall on the first floor, there are players and NPCs, there are humans and monsters, players and players get together, NPCs and NPCs get together, humans and monsters are mixed together, there is no clear separation, too, some players like human characters, some people like monster characters, and NPC humans and NPC monsters in Aurora City can also live in harmony without racial contradictions.
"Which task do you choose?" Chunxiang finished introducing the three bronze-level tasks, and asked calmly, she hoped in her heart that Zhao Ming, Mo Cang, and Feng Xiao would choose the task of crusading against the ghost face thief, because Zhao Ming and the three of them were all at the thirteenth level of the acquired realm, and their strength was strong, even if the crusade against the ghost face thief task was a high-level difficulty task, there was not much danger for Zhao Ming and the three of them, and the price of the crusade against the ghost face thief task was three thousand gold coins, and they could each share one thousand gold coins.
"We chose the Raging Giants mission to defeat the Black Mud Deadwoods. Zhao Ming said after discussing with Mo Cang and Feng Xiao.
"Okay. Chunxiang said, a hint of disappointment appeared on her face, "Sister Xia Xiang, someone has taken the task of defeating the berserk giants of the Black Mud Dead Wood Forest, please take down the task card on the mission wall." ”
"Okay. Xia Xiang, who was chatting happily with a middle-aged uncle adventurer, agreed, got up and walked to the task wall, reached out and took down a bronze card placed on the top, walked to the counter and handed it to Haruka, and then returned to the previous seat and continued to chat with the middle-aged uncle adventurer.
Haruka took the bronze card, took out a pen and a thick black notebook to register.
"Alas. Miss Xia Xiang is my dish, but I am not Miss Xia Xiang's dish. Zhao Ming looked at Xia Xiang with a sad face, looking loveless.
"When you become a middle-aged uncle, Sister Xia Xiang will probably treat you as a dish. Haruka said while taking notes, Xia Xiang was only interested in middle-aged uncles, and almost everyone in the Chengxi Adventurers' Guild knew about it.
"Registration is complete. Haruka said as she put down her pen and bronze card, "From now on, within three days, the task of defeating the Berserk Giants of the Black Mud Dead Wood Forest will not be hung on the mission wall, and after three days, if you don't come back and tell me that the mission has succeeded or failed, this mission will automatically be regarded as a failure and will be re-hung on the mission wall." If you fail to perform the mission or fail to complete the mission within three days, the three of you need to accept the guild's punishment, the first is to compensate the guild for the bounty price of this task, which is 2,500 gold coins, and the second is that the three of you cannot receive the bronze task within three days, and other guilds in the city cannot take the bronze mission. There's nothing you don't understand, right?"
"No, no, no. Zhao Ming said, "Every time I take on a task, I listen to you once, even if a pig has been listening to it dozens or hundreds of times, it will understand." ”
"It's good to understand. Haruka smiled, "So, do you need to buy information about the Raging Giants of the Black Mud Dead Woods? ”
"It's not nonsense! Here you go!" Zhao Ming said angrily, only adventurers with brains in water don't buy information when they take the task, he took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to Chunxiang, Chunxiang took it, opened the bag and counted it, nodded with satisfaction, and while putting the gold coins into the cabinet, he took out a scroll and threw it to Zhao Ming.
Zhao Ming stretched out his hand to catch the scroll, opened it and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction, the information recorded in the scroll was still relatively detailed.
"Roger, what task did you choose?" Zhao Ming put away the scroll and asked Roger with a smile, it is quite dangerous at night now, there are all kinds of demons and monsters in the wild, even the adventurers of the Innate Crystallization Realm generally do not dare to stay in the wild at night, the three of them obviously have to wait until dawn to do the task, anyway, there are three days.
"I choose...... Defeat the Ghost Bandit mission. Roger whispered, secretly observing Haruka's face as he spoke.
Haruka stared at Roger with her hands on her hips.
"Well, Sister Haruka, Roger said he chose the Ghost Thief mission. Zhao Ming said cautiously, he wasn't sure if Chunxiang was really angry or just angry this time.
"I know. Chunxiang said angrily, turned her head and called Xia Xiang, who was still chatting with the middle-aged uncle adventurer, and took down the card of the crusade against the ghost face thief from the task wall.
Xia Xiang handed the card to Chunxiang, smiled charmingly at Zhao Ming, who had been staring at her, and even gave Zhao Ming a flying kiss, Zhao Ming suddenly felt that he had no regrets at this time.
Zhao Ming stretched out his hand to grab Xia Xiang, but he didn't expect Xia Xiang to suddenly say with a straight face: "Get out!"
Click.
Zhao Ming was petrified on the spot and his heart was broken.
"The Ghostface Thief is really dangerous, and you still insist on carrying out this mission. Haruka complained to Roger while registering the task, "Let me tell you, in fact, this crusade against the Ghost Mask Thieves mission has been taken over by adventurers, or three times, and as a result, these adventurers were killed without even seeing the leader of the Ghost Mask Thieves, so no one knows whether the leader of the Ghost Mask Thieves is a monster or a human." ”
"Are you deflated?" Roger asked, smiling at Haruka.
Chunxiang's face turned red, and she closed the task registration book with a snap, put it in the cabinet, and read the mission rules to Roger angrily, and asked Roger if he wanted to buy information after reading it.
"Is there a deal?" said Roger.
"Nope. Chunxiang said angrily, "Two hundred and fifty gold coins, no two prices!"
"It's a person. Roger said, handing Haruka a bag of gold coins.
Haruka took the gold coins and put them in the cabinet without counting them, and at the same time took out a scroll from the cabinet and handed it to Roger.
Roger took the scroll and opened it to look at it.
Zhao Ming, who recovered, said with envy: "Ahh......hhh
"Shut up for me!" Chunxiang was annoyed and ashamed, grabbed a book on the table and slapped it heavily on Zhao Ming's head.
"Ghost face thieves, often haunt near the Ghost Wind Valley, members are about thirty or forty, there are humans and monsters, the leader has always been hidden, never appeared, whether it is robbing caravans or attacking passers-by or fighting adventurers, it is the three deputy leaders who come forward, however, it can be determined that the leader is indeed his person. Roger carefully read the information in the scroll, frowning slightly, "The three deputy leaders are all monsters, the first deputy leader is the black dog spirit, the weapon is an iron chain wrapped around the wrists of both hands, the second deputy leader is the black bear spirit, the weapon is an iron hammer, the third deputy leader is the black bull spirit, the weapon used is an iron rod, the cultivation of the three monsters is the thirteenth layer of the acquired realm, I suspect that the cultivation has a joint secret technique, and once teamed up to kill a human adventurer in the early stage of the Innate Crystal Realm." ”
"Nice opponent. Roger whispered to himself, "The Ghost Mask Thief Leader Realm should be in the early or middle stage of the Innate Crystallization Realm, and it may be possible that the strength may reach the late stage." ”
"You...... Now is he the opponent of a cultivator in the late stage of the Innate Crystallization Realm?" Haruka couldn't help but ask when she heard Roger's self-talk.
Zhao Ming and the three of them also looked at Roger together.
"Do you think it's possible?" Roger looked at Chunxiang and Zhao Ming speechlessly, and showed a rather smug smile, "It turns out that I am so powerful in your hearts!"
"Rely on ......," Zhao Ming scolded.
"The Ghost Wind Valley and the Black Mud Dead Wood Forest are in the same direction, and they are only a mile apart, do you want to go on the road together?" Haruka suddenly asked.
"Yes, yes. Zhao Ming immediately agreed, and Mo Cang and Feng Xiao also said they had no opinion.
Roger nodded with a wry smile and received the kindness of Chunxiang and Zhao Ming.
"So, set a departure time. Roger said, "It's not too early, I'm going back to bed early to meet tomorrow's challenges." ”
"Let's set off halfway through the hour. Zhao Ming touched his chin and thought about it and said, "I set off halfway through the hour and arrived at the destination at noon, so I should be able to come back in the evening." ”
"Alright, let's set off halfway through the hour. Roger stood up as he spoke, waving his hands at Chunxiang and Zhao Ming, "See you tomorrow morning......
Just when Chunxiang and Zhao Ming were about to say goodbye to Roger, a voice suddenly interjected very inappropriately, "That...... Roger, I'...... Can I ask you to help me with something?"
The four of Roger focused their eyes on the mysterious adventurer in a snow-white cloak sitting in the corner of the counter, and it was this guy who suddenly interjected.
"Not available. Roger said coldly, nodded with Chunxiang and Zhao Ming, and was about to leave, but at this time, the mysterious adventurer in the snow-white cloak suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed Roger's left hand, "Please...... Please wait a minute!"
Syllable.
Although Roger was able to avoid the hands of this mysterious adventurer, he did not dodge, because he sensed that the other party was not hostile, and Haruka and they also sensed that the other party was not hostile, so they just looked at it with a look of surprise on their faces, and did not mean to make a move.
"Whew. Roger exhaled a breath of air from his chest cavity and said, "Let's sit down and talk." But let go of my hand first. ”
"Ahh......hh
Roger finally saw the face of this mysterious adventurer, an ordinary face, a male human, black hair and black eyes, a sword at his waist, it should be a swordsman, a beautiful snow-white cloak, a beautiful and luxurious snow-white clothes, and snow-white boots, it should be fashion.
"Players. Zhao Ming whispered in Roger's ear.
"Hmm. Roger nodded slightly, the player can distinguish the player and the NPC at a glance, and Roger and the other self-disciplined learning AI can also distinguish between the NPC and the player at a glance.
Roger looked directly at the male human player in front of him who looked a little cramped, and asked in a deep voice, "So, what is the matter with you?"
