Chapter 36: The Thoughts of the NPCs

The drunken fairy building is more particular about the scene, especially the row of private rooms set up separately on the third floor, each private room is equipped with a wine maid, responsible for pouring wine and passing dishes, Xiao Si from the kitchen with dishes and does not enter the private room, and the wine maid takes it and presents it on the table to be responsible for placing and explaining. By this time the table was full of delicacies, and the glass was already full of wine.

"Let me introduce you to you," Desert Guyan said with a straight smile, "This is Mr. Huang Yuanwai, one of the few rich people in Huaitao County. "This young handsome man is the Enron I mentioned to you."

"I've seen Brother An! The old man with white hair and kind eyebrows hugged his fists and saluted, "I have heard your brother mention it a long time ago, and it is a contemptible luck to be able to meet now." ”

An Ran wanted to stretch out his right hand and shake it with him, but they didn't shake hands when they were NPCs, so they could only clasp their fists and salute.

"Mr. Huang is polite," An Ran smiled: "Your old body is very tough!" Did you ever have a daughter named 'Huang Yingying'? ”

"That's the old man's granddaughter," Huang Yuanwai was slightly stunned but immediately returned to normal, "I don't know why Brother An Ran asked this?" β€œ

"Miss Yingying can be regarded as a benefactor below, the granddaughter of Old Man Huang is amazing, and the women don't let her eyebrows!" After that, Anran laughed.

"Oh? Why is that? The NPC old man wearing a Dongpo scarf and a gray robe wondered.

"I'll talk about the reason later, now I'll be out of company for a while." He turned his head to the desert and said directly: "Brother Guyan, can you take a step to speak before you sit down?" β€œ

"Let's go outside and say," Da Mo Guyan smiled apologetically at Huang Yuanwai, "Mr. Huang will sit down first, and my two brothers will go back as soon as they go." ”

So Yanluo, who had not spoken behind him, began to arrange for everyone to sit down, muttering in his heart how these two men were chattering.

"Brother Wentai, I don't think you are the kind of person who pays attention to pomp and circumstance, why did you arrange to eat at Zuixian Mansion today? What kind of medicine is you selling in your gourd? β€œ

"You kid!" Desert Lonely Smoke smiled, "You think I want to!" We players can't taste the wine and food in the game at all, if it weren't for that NPC, we would have found a random place to talk about the plan for the next dungeon, and now I have to learn to talk like them, and I'm sour and uncomfortable - An Ran, what is the matter with you pulling me out alone? β€œ

"Tell me first, is it important to talk about what we're going to talk about today? There is no need to avoid outsiders. β€œ

"It's very important," Desert Lonely Smoke said bluntly, "This is the most important thing we've been doing since we entered the game, and it's about whether the gang can be formed or not." β€œ

"Okay!" An Ran tapped his finger on the wooden railing, "I believe you've heard about Silk Town, right?" β€œ

Desert Lonely Smoke nodded. "Gu Ping has already sent a message to me briefly, I really don't understand why you have a dispute with them?"

"Brother Guyan will look at it himself," An Ran didn't explain, and cut out the video of Xiushui Town and the video just outside the building and played it slowly in the air, and the desert Guyan who was staring at the picture with his eyes became more and more ugly.

"Well played! I didn't think they were such people. When he saw Fan Yuntian knocking on the Ming Sword on a bench, the silent man suddenly whispered.

"I want to make it clear first that the purpose of calling you out to show you the video is not to make a small report, of course, I'm not a bad person, they provoke me, I can endure it, and if I can't bear it, I will fight back, and there is no need to borrow the hand of your big brother to punish them. My meaning is very clear, this kind of person cannot exist in the team, otherwise he will suffer endlessly. An Ran said lightly.

At this time, the video had already played to the performance of those people when they learned Enron's identity.

"Humph!" Da Mo Guyan snorted coldly and clenched his fists, "The change of face in the dog day is faster than that of a Sichuan opera artist, and I blame Leng Wentai for having no beads, if it weren't for you, I would still be kept in the dark - do you believe brother?" Enron! Suddenly, the middle-aged man looked at the handsome young man with a sincere face.

"Of course, although I was a little angry at first, wondering why you would want such a person, now it seems that our big brother Lone Smoke has also been deceived!" An Ran quipped.

"Let's go! Let's let these people out now! Da Mo Guyan patted An Ran's shoulder and walked into the private room first.

From An Ran and Da Mo Guyan walked straight out, Dad Dao and the others who were sitting at the third table had a premonition that things were not good, and they couldn't talk about it, but they were still a little trance in their hearts. Sure enough, the desert that had gone and returned was lonely and anran, and walked straight towards them.

"A few people," Da Mo Guyan saluted with a calm face, "I'm very sorry, this time we are about to go down to the Haojie Tomb is full, I'm afraid you can only find another job." ”

"Why?" The mage who had always pretended to be virtuous suddenly stood up, "Didn't Boss Lone Smoke say at the beginning that it was just right to add a few of us?" Now that you say that you will change, the leader of your dignified team will change his words and deeds, and he will not be afraid of chilling the hearts of his brothers; If you spread it, you won't be afraid of other people's jokes? β€œ

"Don't be afraid!" The curtain of solitary smoke answered them with only two words.

Ming Jian, who was sitting next to the funeral flower, gently put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, stood up and pulled the corner of the female mage's clothes.

"Don't you understand?" Ming Jian, who hung a long sword on his waist, said sourly: "It's not because we provoked his brother in Xiushui Town, but now the fake public economy is settling accounts after the autumn." There's no room for us here, girl, let's go! ”

"Exactly!" The desert lone smoke with no change on his face answered them again.

Hearing a snap, one person slapped the chopsticks on the table. "your grandma! Let's go, there is no place to stay here. β€œ

So there was a dispute with An Ran, and a few people in Xiushui Town walked out of the room together, and most of the rest didn't know what was going on, including the NPC old man Huang Yuan, many people couldn't help but talk about it.

"Everyone" Da Mo Guyan clenched his fists and looked around, "Everyone must be confused, why do you give an eviction order to your teammates who used to level up and kill monsters in the future, here are two videos for you to see." ”

The desert lonely smoke put the video sent to him by An Ran in the air, and the video was suddenly imaged in the air like a big TV, and what happened was clear at a glance.

"Of course, after watching this video, I still think that we arrogant and unreasonable people can also choose to leave, we can't be brothers can be friends, if they feel that they have been wronged and want to fight the injustice, the heroes can also come to me at any time, and it doesn't hurt for us to be enemies." The handsome young man said without being salty.

After the video was played, there were still a lot of discussions; There are also those who are indignant; Someone loudly scolded these people, one thing in front of them, and another thing behind their backs; Of course, there are also people who secretly think, aren't you safe and your own NPC minions overbearing? This is a very normal thing, everyone will naturally say anything, of course An Ran doesn't care what others think or say, as long as he doesn't provoke himself, it's no problem.

"There is something ugly, let Mr. Huang laugh!" Seeing NPC Huang Yuanwai standing up, Da Mo Guyan smiled apologetically: "Mr. Huang, please take a seat, let's have a few drinks with it first, how about tasting this lionfish in Mochizuki Lake?" β€œ

The old man in gray smiled and sat down.

"Your brother doesn't have to say that, I want to be old and I have lived a lot of ugly things in my family, and many times it is not as neat as my brother to deal with things! Don't you think we've suffered a loss this time? If it weren't for your adventurer's solitary desert solitary smoke to save you, I'm afraid that the old man would have to go to drink under the Nine Springs! β€œ

"Where is Mr. Huang, don't talk about the upset things, come, come, let's drink!" The middle-aged man took the lead in raising his glass.

The three tables in the private room, which were originally full, were all a little vacant due to the departure of some people, but this did not prevent everyone from drinking and talking. There are those who talk about recent levels and equipment gains; There are those who talk about the good or bad skills of a certain profession; There are people who talk about their feelings about this game; There are also those who have a vision for the future of the team. Many people, under the leadership of Gu Ping, Xiang Dong, and the sunset of the long river, came over to toast An Ran one after another, and the handsome young man clinked his glass one by one and drank it, and one of the young men said a word that impressed An Ran.

"Boss Enron," the black-clad assassin with pimples on his face said, holding a wine glass, "I admire you, but to be honest, I think you and that NPC are also very ...... to beat people in Silk Town It's also very arrogant. β€œ

How can there be such a toast? This is a high school student who mixes with Xiang Dong in the game, the young man is very talented and works hard, but he is straightforward and quick to say whatever comes to mind, even if he says the wrong thing, he doesn't know it.

"You kid drank too much?" Xiang Dong slapped him on the back of the head and said to An Ran: "Boss An Ran, don't care, when what he says is fart, this kid has always lacked roots." β€œ

Of course An Ran wouldn't mind, in fact, he admired the young man in front of him very much, what do you say, if you like you, you really like you, if you don't like you, even if you are the king of heaven, it doesn't matter to him, isn't such a person good?

"What's your name?" An Ran picked up his wine glass and looked at him with a smile.

"My name is Chen Jingting, and the name of the game is 'Jingting Love Game' Boss An Ran can call me Jingting or Xiaoting in the future, but don't call me Tingzi, because that is really not good."

An Ran was amused by the young assassin who still had a young heart, and laughed.

"That's a lot of what you're asking for, isn't it?" Xiang Dong felt that this kid was talking too much in front of his buddies, and he was about to start a verbal lesson.

"It's okay, it's okay," An Ran interrupted Xiang Dong, "Isn't Jingting's personality exactly the same as yours?" and not according to themselves. Come to Jingting, let's have a drink, after drinking this wine, whether I'm right or wrong, just tell me, of course, it's right, praise me in front of my brothers, it's wrong! Just give me a step, close the door, and we'll whisper. β€œ

"Good Ratcha!" The young Chen Jingting took a drink from the wine glass and then added, "My master always talks about you behind his back, saying that you are nothing great about this person, and you are very colorful. β€œ

"Nima! Xiaotingzi," Xiang Dong suddenly covered his mouth and said loudly: "There is no thing, An Ran, how could I say that, there is really no such thing." β€œ

"Didn't you?" Yanluo looked at Xiang Dong and then at An Ran with a grin, "You still tell me to keep an eye on him, otherwise the cooked ducks will fly away." β€œ

"Famous teachers make high apprentices!" An Ran quipped: "You two are open-mouthed, and sure enough, what kind of master you have is the apprentice you have." β€œ

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Xiang Dong dragged his little apprentice to the desert and fled back to his seat.

There are actually not many people here, there are only about twenty in total, and then everyone chatted about the things they had encountered in the past few days, of course, they basically knew that they were just informing An Ran, and An Ran also told everyone about his total encounter in Qingyun Mountain, as for what he got 'fire marble' or 'bamboo horse' and other things The handsome young man didn't say it for the time being, and only chose to fight with the tiger at the foot of the mountain; Meet Mr. Fish in the mountains; meeting a fairy on the mountain; At the same time, he also told Huang Yuanwai how he knew his granddaughter. Later, Fan Yuntian directly took over his master's words, and told the trip to the mountain vividly, and everyone was amazed.

It's a pity that the NPC kid doesn't have to tell the storyteller, especially the matter of An Ran's meeting with the goddess Mei Si'an, what a thousand years of fate! What a beautiful woman has an appointment! Something like that, his purpose is very simple - to make the smoke fall jealous, and he wants to see his master being pulled out of the ear.

But the smoke fell and disappointed him, although he did entangle the red lips on An Ran's forehead, but he didn't have vinegar, nor did he pinch his ears, or even if he wanted to pluck it, it was in another world, and of course Fan Yuntian, who was an NPC, couldn't see it.

After three rounds of drinking, night fell, the artificial river was already brightly lit, at this time the boat girl and the girl in the green building became the protagonist of the lantern street, they have already compared the pai gow and dice in the gambling house. The gossip is over, it's time to talk about business, but An Ran found that many players have been overwhelmed by the in-game drinks, although they are still sane, but they can't control their game characters who are drunk by the system, An Ran also feels that he has drunk a little too much in the game, otherwise how can everything in this field of vision be spinning.

"Hey! Let's leave it to tomorrow morning! Da Mo Lone Yan looked directly at the NPC rich armor who was already drunk on the table and said: "The system reminded me that it's time to go offline, and we don't have time to talk about it anymore!" It didn't taste good at all. After that, the middle-aged man asked Xiao Si to take the drunk Huang Yuanwai into the guest room of the Drunken Immortal Building to rest.

"We're players, so of course we can't taste the food in the game!" Smoke Fall said.

"How is that possible?" The sunset of the long river looked at Yanluo and An Ran meaningfully, "Isn't this wine sour in my cousin's mouth?" ”

The woman with extremely beautiful looks and excellent figure glanced at her cousin Zhou Jiping fiercely.

An Ran slowly walked forward and turned a deaf ear, at this moment he was wondering why this NPC old man surnamed Huang would walk straight together with the desert lonely smoke? Why is he in the restaurant? I have a strange chance, but my level is getting farther and farther away from them.

That night, Yanluo chatted with An Ran about trivial matters in and out of the game as usual, and of course they would also talk about the woman Mei Si'an, as the girl herself said, she would not be jealous for an NPC woman.

"How does she feel when she kisses you on the forehead?" Smoke asked

"What can it feel like in the game? People are teaching me how good it is. ”

"Oh! That's it! Did you kiss her back? Yanluo asked again.

"What am I doing kissing an NPC?" An Ran replied insincerely.

"Hey! What a pity! The girl sighed.

An Ran had nothing to say, she could only be embarrassed.

Early the next morning, An Ran entered the game and found that the leftovers from last night in the Drunken Immortal Building were gone, in the words of the player, it was refreshed by the system, in the words of the NPC, this private room has been cleaned by the maids, anyway, it is not An Ran's business, the handsome young man has to summon Fan Yuntian first. However, this summoning Fan Yuntian did not immediately appear beside him, but the system prompted, 'Your servant is sleeping, and you need to be woken up in person.' β€˜

An Ran then remembered that it turned out that Fan Yuntian yelled that he wanted to sleep in bed last night, so An Ran let him sleep in the guest room in the backyard of the Drunken Immortal Building, but when the handsome young man went offline, he forgot to take him back to the servant space. Many times, An Ran couldn't figure out some questions, such as: Fan Yuntian told him at that time that he couldn't be too far away from him, how far away is this? Another example: Fan Yuntian said that if the master leaves and does not take himself back, he will be in a special space of the system, others can't affect him, and he can't affect others, but why is he lying on the bed sleeping when he pushes the door in?

The handsome young man threw all these questions to Fan Yuntian, and Fan Yuntian, who was summoned and woke up, explained to him bitterly while holding on to his waist.

"The so-called "not too far away" means that we are at the same time in an open place with no shelter on all sides, and I can't see you when we lift up our eyes, and you can't see me, and we both shout to each other, and neither of us can hear each other's voices; The so-called special space refers to the offline you say, and Lao Tzu will be locked in a special space by the system, others can't see me, I can't see anything, and once you go online, I will appear again. It's like if I sleep in this room, and if you leave me, I won't be there, and if you come back, Lao Tzu will come back too. ”

"That's it!" An Ran seemed to understand, but immediately asked another question: "If one day you have a girl you like, and you sleep with her in your arms, and you will be forced to leave once Lao Tzu goes offline, then that girl can only stay alone in the empty room?" ”

Fan Yuntian, who was walking on the corridor, paused, and then kicked the pillar in annoyance.

"Then the will mutiny! Go away with others and fly high, and never bother to care about you idiot, now you are satisfied! You're going to die if you don't ask these stupid questions all day long? ”

"I'm curious!" An Ran said with a smile.

"It's easy!" Fan Yuntian dug his nostrils and muttered, "Either that person adapts to the life of a servant like me, or let me leave you, or she leaves, it's just a choice." ”

An Ran didn't speak again after a sigh, and the master and servant returned to the private room where they had dinner yesterday. At this time, they saw that NPC Huang Yuanwai was already sitting on a chair and drinking morning tea quietly.

"Do you adventurers also have a habit of waking up early?" The old man in gray wearing a Dongpo scarf was the first to speak, "It's so earlyβ€”do you want to come?" The small steamed buns stuffed with Maofeng and Mochizuki Lake crab meat from Huaitao Mountain taste very beautiful! ”

"I've had breakfast," An Ran waved his hand and smiled, "Besides, Mr. Huang may not know that we adventurers can't taste these things, and it's a bit of a ruinous thing." β€œ

"I know that Brother Lonely Smoke and the old man have talked about a lot of strange things about you adventurers," Huang Yuanwai smiled mysteriously, "I also know that you like to stretch out your right hand and shake each other to show politeness, a bit similar to our bending over, you sometimes like to say strange things, such as saying 'offline' when you are leaving, and when you come back, you say 'online' your adventurer's hometown, the hometown action is really strange." ”

"This is not fake" Fan Yuntian was not polite, poured himself a cup of tea and then pulled a basket of steamed buns, "For example, old man, do you know what a light bulb is?" The NPC picked up a bun and took a hard bite.

"If you don't know, you should ask for advice." The old man put the teacup back on the table.

"There are two meanings, one is that it is a luminous object for illumination, like our candles, and the other is a name given to the person who disturbs them by the man and woman of the tryst." Fan Yuntian explained proudly.

The old man laughed.

"Brother An Ran, we can be regarded as destined," the old man said again: "You see that Yingying met you in this county, and the lonely brother in the desert outside the city saved the old man's life again." ”

In the Xu Xudao outside the Huang Yuan, An Ran learned that the NPC old man was preparing to transport a batch of money and materials to Linxian County, but he was targeted by masked arrests soon after leaving Huaitao County, and the entourage and coachman brought by the old man were all killed, and it was also thanks to the lonely smoke and party in the desert who were leveling not far away just passing by, so they saved the old man's life and saved the money of this car. Therefore, the gathering of this drunken immortal building was actually invited by the old man. Huang Yuanwai actually has an idea, since he heard that Da Desert Guyan intends to build a gang, he is also willing to support the materials, if it is really a big thing, the Huang family can be attached to the gang established by the adventurers in the future, and will no longer be affected by the nest of those bird gang leaders in Huaitao County. This is a good thing for both parties, so the desert lonely smoke directly agreed to push the boat down the river, and by the way, he summoned his brothers to use this place as a meeting and meeting place.

"I see!" An Ran thought secretly, "No wonder Brother Guyan said that he is not used to eating this kind of meal, dare to love this meal is still invited by an NPC!" Huang Yuanwai will also participate in the matters discussed, no wonder this old man is here early in the morning drinking tea and waiting for the players to go online! β€œ

After a while, players went online one after another, looking at these adventurers who appeared out of thin air, the old man in gray was not surprised, but just smiled and nodded in greeting.

"Because something happened yesterday that caused someone to leave, I can only find a few candidates in the group to fill the gap for the rest of the candidates who went to Haojie's tomb this time, but because I don't often kill monsters together and level up, the tacit understanding may be worse." Desert Lonely Smoke frowned and said.

"You mean, it might be difficult for us to get a copy this time?" The long river sunset Yuan sat on the chair and propped his chin and said.

"It is extremely difficult to open up the wasteland under the dungeon, especially the first time we go to this 'Haojie Tomb', we don't know anything about the dungeon, and it is completely a crossing the river by feeling the stones, so casualties are inevitable, and it is possible to destroy the group." Analyzed to the east.

"This is true, didn't we encounter this situation when we fought World of Warcraft in the past? What are you afraid of? It's a big deal to start all over again, where there's a will, there's a way. Gu Ping cheered everyone on.

"Courage is commendable!" An Ran smiled, "It's just that this Huaxia world is not the same as the World of Warcraft, where we will not lose experience or equipment when we die." But not here, if we destroy the group, I'm afraid everyone's losses will be great, and how much of the equipment will be returned? We're not sure; Will a member continue if they lose experience and level? We are also not sure. Every time a battle can not be successful, it will reduce the combat effectiveness, this is the most difficult place, repeated failures will inevitably shake everyone's confidence, people will think that we will blow up the equipment on our bodies for a piece of building a token, and the hard-earned experience is not worth it. Therefore, if you want to get down here, you can't stand tossing back and forth, you can only do it in one go, otherwise it will decline again, and it will be exhausted. ”

"The old man can provide all kinds of materials to all the heroes," Huang Yuanwai didn't pay attention to what the adventurers said, such as copies and worlds. "The medicines, food, ordinary armor and weapons consumed can be my personal property, and I can't care how I use them...... I can't provide personnel to assist you to go to Haojie's tomb, first, the county government is not allowed, and second, I don't have a military family. ”

An Ran understood that Da Mo Guyan saved the NPC old man, and then the old man also took a fancy to this team and provided some help for the player to do next, in other words, it was also a certain reward given by the system. It's just that this kind of reward can't be excessive, the system won't be so merciful that for no reason, let the NPC soldiers or martial artists of the county government accompany the player to play the dungeon together, as for whether there will be NPCs and players to complete a thing together in the future? That will only be known later.

"There is another question," Da Desert Lonely Smoke frowned even deeper, "In the past two days, there have always been various disputes outside the city, and there are players and players competing for monsters with each other; There are players and NPCs fighting; There are also players and NPCs who collude to suppress other players, I heard that Huaitao Mountain is close to the tomb of Haojie, and there are a large number of NPCs to prevent players from entering the dungeon, for which there have been several bloodsheds, and the county government has turned a blind eye to this and ignored it, as if some NPCs in Huaitao County do not welcome us! ”

"We've seen this with our own eyes," said the assassin Chen Jingting, who came to toast last night, "I, Xiao Wu, Ah Cai, and Sister Aso, a few of us originally wanted to go to Huai Tao Mountain to level up and play equipment, and by the way, to see what the tomb of Haojie we were about to go to look like, but before we entered the peach forest, the mountain col was driven away by several NPCs who seemed to be gang members, saying that idlers were not allowed to enter, and a few people didn't listen and they fought, and there were casualties on both sides, and I don't know what it was for." β€œ

An Ran dipped her fingers in some water from her teacup and silently drew circles on the table.

"This pool of water in Huaitao County is very deep!" The handsome young man sighed: "I'm afraid our difficulties are not only in the dungeon, some NPCs may think that the players who are pouring in here have moved their interests and are trying to drive us away, and their various provocations and suppressions outside the city are nothing more than telling us that this Huaitao County is not the place you should come to, it is best to pack up your things and get out early." Because ......," An Ran tapped the circle on the table with his fingers, "The cake is only so big, how can others share it?" β€œ

"Would they think that, would they do that?" An Ran's words surprised Yanluo.

"And that's not all!" Da Mo Guyan smiled bitterly: "The person I talked to alone yesterday afternoon was Hao Qiye from the water transport dock, he meant to cooperate with us - there are no outsiders here - I said it bluntly, he meant to join forces with us to wrestle with the Xiangma Gang." But before that, Hao Qiye wanted to see if we had the ability to build a gang token and form a gang. β€œ

The old man in gray who was sitting precariously couldn't help coughing.

"This Hao Qiye is an understanding person," An Ran glanced meaningfully at Huang Yuanwai, who was coughing, "but it's far worse than our old Mr. Huang!" Mr. Huang's approach is called cleverness. β€œ

Huang Yuanwai hurriedly raised his cup and took a sip of tea to hide the expression on his face, and moistened his throat by the way, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, "Good guy!" This young man is really not simple, and he can see through the old man's mind after just a little thought. ”

"Brother Enron praised it falsely!" Huang Yuanwai said with a smile: "The old man is just a businessman, where can he compare to Hao Qiye, who is in charge of the entire Wangyue Lake Wharf?" ”

An Ran just smiled.

"Is the leader of the Ringing Horse Gang surnamed Ma?" The handsome young man changed the subject.

"Exactly!" The old man in gray replied: "The master of the horse gang has been infinitely beautiful in recent years, and he has been involved in the dart bureau, money bank, gambling house, some shops, including some courtyards on this lantern viewing street in Huaitao County, which can be regarded as a ...... Number one. ”

"The third son of his family is very proud!" An Ran subconsciously touched the bamboo cane on his waist, "The horse is galloping on the street, as if others are like ants in his eyes, if it weren't for your granddaughter Yingying to save us, I'm afraid Fan Yuntian and I would have died under the horse's hooves." β€œ

"What does it mean to die under the hooves of a horse?" Fan Yuntian, who heard this on the side, was dissatisfied, "Lao Tzu can't touch me either." β€œ

"Shut up!" An Ran glared at his servant fiercely.

Huang Yuanwai snorted and said: "The Ma family is wealthy, the Ma gang leader has a very good relationship with the county's parents, Lord Lu, and everyone knows it, and his third son worshiped the 'Royal Sword Sect' Tong Qizhen in his early years to practice martial arts. This Ma Zhi had previously teamed up with his family to kill the cattle dealer in the market in the west of the city, and then the Ma family lost some money to the cattle dealer's family, and Ma Zhi was taken back to the mountain by Tong Qizhen to discipline, and the matter was over. It's just that it's only been so long since the boy came back so soon? ”

"It's back, and it's galloping on a tall horse. Mr. Huang, what is the reputation of this Xiangma Gang in Huaitao County? An Ran asked.

"I can only say that everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak out about their actions." The old man in gray smiled bitterly.

"That's right," An Ran looked at everyone, "In fact, the people of Huaitao County, large and small gangs, and large and small merchants may have suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Xiangma Gang, maybe Mr. Huang and Hao Qiye are one of them, do you want to say that Huaitao County does not welcome our people?" Yes! That's the NPCs who are afraid that we will rob their territory, and there must be people from the Ringing Horse Gang among them, and I even suspect that the NPCs that appear in many places to conflict with the player are secretly arranged by the Ringing Horse Gang. β€œ

An Ran picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"As for Mr. Huang and Hao Qiye, what kind of NPC do you belong to that of the people who welcome us," An Ran smiled at the old man, am I right? Old man.

"You can come, Lao Yu, including many merchants in Huaitao County, are actually very welcome, because we have suffered too many losses in their hands, such as their forced buying and selling, bullying and dominating the market, etc."

"So we are actually a spoiler, we can fight this evil force entrenched in Huaitao County, so that the people, businesses, and small gangs in Huaitao County can live a comfortable life, like Hao Qiye, even if they judge the situation and wait for changes, we must first look at the strength of our adventurers before making a decision, which is also the idea of most people in Huaitao County today. And only Mr. Huang chose to stand with us from now on, both glory and loss, so why did I say that Mr. Huang's approach was smart. ”

"Shame on old decay! This little bit of caution about playing was suddenly exposed by Brother Enron. The old man suddenly got up and bowed his hand, "The old man actually has no other intentions, he just wants to attach himself to everyone here and be an ordinary businessman enjoying the shade under the big tree. ”

The NPC old man suddenly said this, and many of the people present actually didn't know why, and they were listening carefully to what they were saying. Only two people are different, Yanluo looked at his sweetheart and talked with pride, and Fan Yuntian, who was lying lazily on the table, was making a splash of tea at the moment, and the NPC kid thought, "It's about Lao Tzu!" ”

"The old gentleman doesn't have to be like this, as long as the starting point is good, and it's actually nothing to have a little thought." The desert lonely smoke smiled generously.

Da Mo Guyan understood the meaning of the dialogue between An Ran and Huang Yuanwai, the encounter between the NPC old man and himself, he was robbed and rescued by himself, in fact, it was arranged by the old man, the purpose was to find the most natural opportunity to get close to himself.

"Mr. Huang is a good man," An Ran continued, "because only good people can educate a girl like Yingying, who comes from a rich family not only has the pretentiousness of a young lady, but can also set up a stall on the street to help passers-by, this character is originally different from that evil boy who rode on the long street." So good people, we are naturally friends, bad guys! Let's treat him as an enemy. ”

"It's an honor to be a friend to all of you here!" The old man in gray said sincerely.

An Ran nodded modestly and smiled before falling into deep thought, everyone watched him slowly tap on the table with his knuckles, thinking about the question and did not bother, either waiting for his next opinion, or whispering about how to get this copy.

"The system arranges NPCs to interact with players, or that Huang Yuanwai and that Hao Qiye take the initiative to show favor to us, there must be a certain deep meaning," An Ran secretly pondered, "The purpose may be to let our players choose a camp and prepare for the next open and secret battle in Huaitao County. Otherwise, how could this Huang Yuanwai befriend for no reason and provide materials to assist us in making a copy? ”

An Ran thinks it is not unreasonable, this is actually the plot created by the system, which is different from the previous traditional online games, this kind of plot is no longer fixed like a line, as a player, you can pick it up, and I can take it. In Huaxia, a holographic online game, in addition to some tasks in the novice village, the tasks or plots encountered by the player will be strange, randomly generated in the NPC, these quite intelligent NPCs will judge whether they will cooperate with the player, ask for help and make requests according to the player's various behaviors, personalities, and conditions, in other words, the task or plot here, maybe this player can meet, and other players can't meet it. Of course, although he An Ran is the protagonist, he is not the first in the world, he can meet all kinds of NPCs in Qingyun Mountain and Huaitao County, and others can also meet them elsewhere, you can accept the interaction of NPCs, you can also refuse, acceptance is a scene, rejection can also become another scene, everyone has the opportunity but grasp it. Again, the purpose of the Huaxia system is very clear, that is, to pull players into this world, so that they are immersed in the scene and no longer be a spectator who does not care about themselves. β€œ

"Brother Guyan, do you think this will work," An Ran, who was contemplative for a while, spoke again, "For the trouble outside the copy, let's leave it to the county master, Lord Lu." ”

"Will he take the trouble?" Xiang Dong frowned.

"I don't care how he gets along with the leader of the Xiangma Gang in private," An Ran said, "But the first thing a county parent official needs to consider is whether the territory under his jurisdiction is peaceful." Let's go to the county government to find this Lord Lu in a bright way, and explain to him that when he goes to the tomb of Haojie and encounters the obstruction of unknown figures, he will not ignore it, right? Of course, if he really ignores it, then let's take the centaurs and fight with those who are in the way, and if we can beat them, we will get this copy, but if we can't beat it, we will continue to level up and collect equipment, we players have nothing, but we can quickly upgrade and resurrect countless times, in short, the copy of this heroic tomb is decided. β€œ

"Enron is right!" Desert Guyan added, "In the words of their NPCs, our adventurers can't be killed, not afraid of fighting, and erratic, if the county lord doesn't care, aren't we afraid that if we drift to the capital one day sooner, tell the one on the dragon chair about his inaction?" β€œ

Huang Yuanwai, who was drinking tea, almost squirted out a mouthful of tea, thinking, "It's really possible for these magical adventurers to do it."

An Ran laughed twice, "Then do it, Brother Guyan, let's prepare separately?" β€œ

"Why don't you come with me to meet Master Lu?" Desert Lonely Smoke asked.

"My brother!" An Ran pointed to his outfit, "Look at my poor and sour appearance, low level, poor equipment, or a beggar, the county lord will be upset when he sees us, maybe the things that should have been promised are also stirred up because of me, the lonely smoke boss is dressed in mountain armor, has a heart guard, holds a snow blade knife in his hand, and takes two or three brothers to the county office, maybe the county lord will treat you as a guest!" β€œ

"You kid......" Desert Lonely Smoke laughed. How can anyone ridicule his brother like this! ”

Seeing that the relationship between the two men he cared about the most was so good, Yanluo felt warm in his heart, as for the NPC Master Huang, he was shocked after hearing An Ran's words.

"This situation is not impossible, if Lord Lu befriends the adventurer's 'Desert Lonely Smoke', once they turn the gun, then what will they do? Go? Thinking of this, the face of the old man in gray suddenly appeared a little dignified.

Huang Yuanwai's sudden appearance fell in An Ran's eyes, how could the handsome young man not know what this old man was worried about?

"I think Brother Guyan will definitely succeed when he goes this time," An Ran said as he looked at the NPC old man, "Is it true that Mr. Huang said that he would fund our materials?" β€œ

"Of course!" Huang Yuanwai patted his chest, "Although the old man is a businessman, he has always been a good talker. β€œ

"Thank you for your generosity," An Ran immediately turned his head, "Xiangdong, Gu Ping, Sunset, you lead the brothers to get supplies from Mr. Huang, and then sort out the equipment here and wait for the news of me and Boss Guyan." What's the saying? Oh! "The elder does not dare to resign, and the remarks are not respectful, and it is well deserved" We can't refuse the old gentleman's kindness in vain, and the days in Huaitao County will be long in the future, maybe we, the adventurers who live in a fixed place, will have to go to the old gentleman's house many times to beg for wine. β€œ

"What a great young man!" Huang Yuanwai sighed secretly, "Not only did he give the old man's hanging heart in a few words, but also put forward more requirements intentionally or unintentionally." His analysis, calculations, arrangements, and organization are almost impeccable, and it is no wonder that this middle-aged adventurer called 'Lonely Smoke in the Desert' always talks about this person with pride. β€œ

"Brother Enron, why do you still say that you have no fixed residence?" Huang Yuanwai looked at everyone and smiled slightly, "Do you think that in this Huaitao County, the old man can't even afford to give away a decent house?" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" An Ran asked pretending to be surprised.

"Don't you need a place to live when you form a gang? The house in Huaitao County is expensive, and the money in a good location can't buy it, and if there is no house, everyone can't go to this restaurant every day for dinner and discussion in the future! I can't afford to be so old, I thought about it, if you really hit the Jianbang token, from the moment the county government records the record, the old man will send a house as a gift. ”

Everyone including the desert lonely smoke was surprised, because everyone knew that the value of a house in a city somewhere in Huaxia was not simply calculated in silver coins.

Everyone still thinks that this is a gift from players to build a gang system. Only the desert lonely smoke knows where the system will give this, and it is not because this NPC old man is afraid that they will temporarily defect after seeing the county master, so they have increased the bargaining chips This is one of them; Second, An Ran's demeanor, words and deeds have completely conquered this NPC, making him make a choice with peace of mind, tying himself and them tightly, just kidding, if a very influential gang established by the player is next door to his house, and even the gang station is provided by him, then who dares to mess with this rich party again? An Ran is smart, and he is not a fool outside of Huang Yuan.

"This ...... How can I accept it? An Ran looked a little cramped and scratched his head with his hand, "Mr. Huang, I am flattered by such love!" β€œ

"Don't you think of the old man as a friend?"

"Of course we're good friends."

"If I'm a friend, don't put it off."

"Alright! Then we'll settle it, now we'll go to your house and ask for some supplies. An Ran said.

Everyone was in an uproar, and Fan Yuntian, who was fiddling with the tea cover, made a mistake, and the tea cover fell to the ground with a bang and shattered.
