Chapter 28: Schizophrenia

Standing on Storm Beach, Gu Pingsheng looked at the blue sea, and only felt that he was so old, he had never walked out of Yicheng.

Gu Pingsheng's heart has always longed for the mountains, seas and canyons and grasslands, and he often thinks that if he has the opportunity in the future, he must go out for a walk, to see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland, to travel thousands of miles, to see those scenery that he has never experienced, but he has never put it into action.

At the beginning of the game, Gu Pingsheng opened the newbie gift package and obtained a total of 10 scrolls back to the city.

Gu Pingsheng used the Huicheng scroll to teleport to the bound Leichi City, and then to Langya City through the coachman; found the equipment merchant in the city, spent money to repair the equipment, and sold the materials and white equipment in the package, Gu Pingsheng had 2 more gold coins on his body.

At this time, it was more than 3 o'clock in the middle of the night, but Langya City was still very lively, which was enough to prove the popularity of [Hongyuan].

Going out from the West City Gate, Gu Pingsheng came to a wilderness.

The level of this wild monster is around level 13, Gu Pingsheng just glanced at it, and he had no desire to farm monsters.

After walking for more than half an hour further west, Gu Pingsheng came to a new area called "Maple Town".

The scenery of the maple town is very beautiful, and there are large maple trees with brilliant colors everywhere, and when the wind blows, the red maple leaves in the sky are like a fairyland.

After wandering around the maple town and failing to trigger the task, Gu Pingsheng couldn't help but be a little frustrated, but he didn't give up, and looked around carefully, but this time he found something.

On the south side of Maple Town, under the eaves of a dilapidated wooden house, sits a lame old man; Although the old man looks old, his body is extremely strong, his eyes are very sharp, and he looks like a good man who has experienced wind and rain.

The old man's name is "Xu Yuanguan", Gu Pingsheng walked over with a smile on his face, and flattered Xu Yuanguan: "Old man, look at your extraordinary momentum and majesty, you know at a glance that you are not an ordinary person." ”

When the white-haired Xu Yuanguan heard this, he praised: "I didn't expect you to have such eyesight at a young age, it's really terrifying." ”

"I knew that the old man had an extraordinary background, and it was exactly what I expected." Gu Pingsheng followed Xu Yuanguan's words, hoping to get a task from it.

Xu Yuanguan said to himself, "When I was young, I was the best archer in the empire, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee and had to go for an amputation......

Gu Pingsheng listened to Xu Yuanguan quietly, boasting about his eventful years.

Ten minutes later, Xu Yuanguan was still immersed in his memories, and there was no sign of explaining the task, Gu Pingsheng was a little anxious, he interrupted Xu Yuanguan's memories and asked directly: "Old man, do you need my help?" ”

When Xu Yuanguan heard this, he nodded unsatisfied, "I heard that the rice wine in 'Cloud Dream City' is very sweet and delicious; ”

Usually, after communicating with an NPC, a system prompt will pop up asking the player if they want to accept the quest.

However, when Gu Pingsheng talked to Xu Yuanguan, the task interface for buying wine did not pop up, which is a bit strange.

"I'll go buy wine now, you wait." Gu Pingsheng took a perfunctory sip first, and then walked out of the town.

Xu Yuanguan said: "Young man, go and go back quickly!" ”

As the saying goes, "If you don't understand, ask." Open the installed browser plug-in,Search for keywords such as "Hongyuan、Task does not trigger system prompt" in it,Search information pops up in an instant。

Gu Pingsheng carefully browsed the search information that appeared on the webpage, and after reading about seven or eight pieces of information, he almost figured out the task system of [Hongyuan].

The player's charisma is higher than a certain level, and they have a chance to get quests by talking to NPCs.

Players communicate with NPCs, give away items according to their favorites, and can rush to a certain level of friendliness, and can also trigger quests.

In addition, there are also adventure quests, such as players who meet NPCs in the wild and are attacked by monsters, and after helping NPCs solve the monsters, they can also get NPC rewards or escort missions.

There are many more ways to get a mission, and the list goes on.

The task of an NPC like Xu Yuanguan should be to reach a certain value of friendship in order to obtain the task, and the way to improve Xu Yuanguan's friendliness is the rice wine of Yunmeng City.

Gu Pingsheng used the Return to the City scroll, and then teleported to Yunmeng City, a "production player paradise", through the coachman.

The streets of Yunmeng City are not busier than those of Langya City, but the number of people is still not small; Gu Pingsheng searched in the city for more than ten minutes, and finally found a tavern in the southwest.

After Gu Pingsheng talked to the tavern NPC, the purchase screen appeared.

There are more than a dozen different types of liquor in the tavern, with prices ranging from high to low, with rice wine being the lowest.

[Rice Wine]: Increases defense by 1% after use, lasts for 60 minutes, and costs 100 copper coins/pot.

Because he didn't know how much rice wine Xu Yuanguan needed, Gu Pingsheng bought 10 pots at one time just in case.

After buying wine, he rushed to Maple Leaf Town and found Xu Yuanguan under the broken wooden house.

"Old man, this is the rice wine you wanted, I brought it to you."

Xu Yuanguan took the rice wine, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Young man, not bad, I like you very much." ”

System Prompt: Increases your friendship with Xu Yuanguan by 100 points.

Seeing that after Xu Yuanguan drank all the wine in the pot, only a system prompt to improve friendliness appeared, but no task information was triggered, Gu Pingsheng tried to ask, "Old man, are you still satisfied?" ”

Xu Yuanguan smashed his mouth and said: "Satisfaction is satisfaction, but the amount of this wine is too small, not enough to drink!" ”

Gu Pingsheng smiled when he heard this, fortunately he was prescient.

He took out four more pots of rice wine from the package and handed them to Xu Yuanguan, "It's not enough, I still have it, you just have to drink it." ”

Xu Yuanguan didn't shirk either, hugged the four pots of wine, and drank it by himself.

Gu Pingsheng waited patiently for more than ten minutes, but only a system prompt that increased the friendliness by 400 points appeared, but the task was still not triggered.

"The taste of this rice wine is good, but there are some side dishes missing, and it is not interesting to drink." Xu Yuanguan sighed unsatisfactorily.

Gu Pingsheng looked at the drunken Xu Yuanguan, his face twitched, "Do you have any other requirements?" ”

"How can you drink without peanuts?" Xu Yuanguan muttered to himself.

"......Uhh

Teleported to Yunmeng City again, and after spending money to buy a peanut at the production line player who set up a stall, Gu Pingsheng was in trouble again.

He doesn't know how to cook!

Gu Pingsheng could only find a life mentor, spend silver coins, learn cooking skills, and get a pair of cooking utensils by the way.

[Hongyuan]'s life skills, the difficulty of operation is very low, although Gu Pingsheng is the first time to use cooking skills, but still has not failed.

Holding the peanuts that had just come out of the pot, I traveled thousands of miles to find Xu Yuanguan again, and the time was already 7 o'clock in the morning.

Gu Pingsheng handed the peanuts to Xu Yuanguan, and sent two more pots of wine by the way, and then a system prompt popped up.

System Prompt: Your friendship with Xu Yuanguan reaches 1000 points, and you become his friend.

"Is it finally time for a mission?" Gu Pingsheng was excited.

As a result, Xu Yuanguan just said unsatisfactorily: "Although the taste of peanuts is good, I heard that the taste of schizophrenia is excellent, and it must be very good to drink." ”

There's no end!?

This old man is playing an honest man?!

When Gu Pingsheng heard this, he was ready to leave; Yunmeng City and Maple Town come and go, it is estimated that it will take at least more than an hour, he has run twice, this old guy is still here!

As soon as he turned around, Gu Pingsheng stopped, and he muttered in his heart: "Now that I'm gone, my previous efforts will be in vain." Gu Pingsheng turned his head, showed a helpless smile, and said to Xu Yuanguan: "You wait a while, I'll go back when I go." ”

The third time he went to Yunmeng City, Gu Pingsheng looked for the schizophrenia at the players who set up stalls at the city gate.

After searching for more than ten minutes, I finally found schizophrenia at a stall; Gu Pingsheng was taken aback when he saw the price of schizophrenia.

"Brother, 1 gold coin a piece, your schizophrenia is too expensive!" Gu Pingsheng bargained with the stall owner.

"There are more than a dozen brothers in my family, and it took two days of fishing to get a schizophrenic fish, which must be rare!" The stall owner said.

"Can it be cheaper?" Gu Pingsheng bargained.

"Don't sell a single one less!" Seeing that Gu Pingsheng wanted to lower the price, the stall owner said bluntly.

"It's not cheap, I don't want your fish, I'll catch it myself." Gu Pingsheng stood up and turned to leave.

This guy's schizophrenia is really a bit expensive, and now the ratio of gold coins to RMB is 1:40, and this 1 gold coin can buy a sauerkraut fish in the real world; And after buying a helmet for Xie Xiaoqiu, he didn't have much money left, so he was reluctant to spend it indiscriminately.

Open the browser again, search for the two keywords "Hongyuan, fishing spot", and after browsing, Gu Pingsheng chose the closest location and left.
