Volume 1 Never with a Sword Chapter 23 Retarded
"Enough!"
The catcher finally got angry, but the man on the right quickly got up, got up and pulled the green cloth into a package at the same time, and sighed: "The Tao is not the same, don't conspire with each other, don't pass it away." ”
"Damn the bad business, remember it for the master!"
(Tu Shi: "Damn, this is still a couplet?!") Sideways 'all fucked up'! ”)
The movement on the left is no slower than that on the right, and at the same time it packs the rags. A figure flashed left and right, disappearing into the crowd; The other ran away, and the dog couldn't catch up. The catcher didn't react, and Tu Shi and the crowd were dumbfounded: NPCs actually want to cheat players out of money, it's really a big forest and there are all kinds of birds! I can see such a brazen liar, and it's a pair! The world outside the novice village is really exciting!
After paying more attention, Tu Shi began to observe, and found that there were really a lot of guys who were as mysterious as the two just now.
For example, there is a free fortune teller who will pretend to look at your palm prints, and after pondering for a while, he will set up a score before saying: "Look at your palmistry, it is the stars descending from the sky, as for which star...... Well...... It depends on how much money you have, Wenqu Xing is ten taels of silver, and Wu Qu Xing wants - hey, don't go! Wenqu Star is only six taels! Five taels couldn't be lower! ”
For example, a male-faced man in a red robe encircles a pig with a fence and holds a bright pig-killing knife in his hand, and asks everyone who passes by in a loud voice: "Do you want to eat meat?" Eight taels of silver a pound, sold cheaply! This is a pig that has been enlightened by Buddhism, eating it can remove the negative karma of three lives, and not fall into the six realms of reincarnation, after this village, there will be no such shop! ”
Another example is a bad old man with a copper hoop boxwood foot basin in front of him, and a bunch of lively little goldfish in the basin. The old man dozed off, and there was a sign next to him, with the words "Pure dragon species, a thousand gold, no bargaining" in large letters, and "Ten fines for stealing" in small letters.
For example, a high-crowned scribe in a wheelchair is holding a chess game and looking at it by himself, with a table and a stool in front of him, and a mahogany chess table on the table, on which are two big-bellied chess urns with black and white chess pieces. Go, this thing Liu Dacai must like! Sensing Tu Shi's gaze, the scribe smiled slightly, and just spoke: "One or two pieces of silver and a plate of ......" Tu Shi turned around and left, damn, this is using knowledge to cheat money.
……
It is also interesting to see all living beings. Wandering around Tu Shi came to the city gate, and found that the city gate was extremely tall, seven or eight zhang, and there was a door on the door, two or three zhang wide, usually only a small door was opened, and it was enough for cars and horses to enter and exit. The guards checked Tu Shi's guide and said to him, "Go to the outside of the city lord's mansion, there is a place to register." ”
Tu Shi asked, "What are you registering for?" ”
"Where the dead can be resurrected!" The guards got impatient.
"Oh, resurrection point." At first glance, when he heard such a game-specific thing from the mouth of an NPC, Tu Shi was not used to it.
There was a long queue of players at the check-in point, and at the end of the line, several scribes with obvious signs of baldness were struggling to write. There may be no more than 10,000 people in the whole of China who left the novice village in front of Tu Shi, and at this time, there are enough forty or fifty people in this queue, and the number continues to grow. The registration process is not complicated, and Tu Shi is equivalent to the household registration attached to Yibeicheng, which is equivalent to the citizens of Yibeicheng, and must also obey the laws of Yibeicheng. He also received a copy of the "Criminal Law", which is basically a revision of the actual law, nothing special.
Okay, the next step is to get a job change!
Tu Shi and the merchant Bao Jiwan chatted: In order to make players self-reliant, there are special instructors (also known as career mentors) in each big city who can teach players skills in different categories, and at the same time make career evaluations for players, to put it bluntly, it is a change (a job change). Tu Shi wants to be a swordsman, and the main category of swordsmen is martial artists, so Tu Shi wants to find a martial arts mentor. The official mentor will teach the class skills comprehensively and systematically, but if someone has another fate, they can use some NPCs as unofficial mentors to learn their unique skills. So Tu Shi couldn't help but reverie: I want to find Dugu to seek defeat, I want to learn Dugu Nine Swords!
Of course, it is unknown whether there are novel characters in this game as NPCs.
"Brother!"
On the side of the road stood a young man who looked like a child. The reason why he is said to be "childlike" is because he has a runny nose and sucks on his right thumb, which is not at all like an adult. This is a mentally retarded child. He looked at Tu Shi curiously and sluggishly, and shouted angrily: "Brother, brother!" "He was missing a front tooth in his mouth.
Originally, Tu Shi didn't stop and only glanced over there, but he didn't expect the other party to call out to him, so he had to stop: "What's the matter?" "I thought you looked older than me, and I called you brother about the same.
"Brother, can you do Xiao Ming a favor? Xiao Ming wants to eat sugar gourd! ”
System prompt: Do you accept the quest "Buy Sugar Gourd"?
Damn, can you send tasks to the mentally retarded? Tu Shi shook his head: "I have something, you can find someone else." "This kind of errand task looks like it has little oil and water, and the mentally retarded NPC may not be able to lead to the plot of the follow-up mission, so it's a waste of time to do it, and he's in a hurry to find a mentor.
"I, I found other brothers and sisters, but they didn't come back after taking the money......"
"What's going on?" Tu Shi didn't hear it right and frowned.
"I gave them two pennies to buy sugar gourds, but they were so slow that they haven't seen anyone until now."
Mom, eggs! I don't think it's because it's slow, but because I didn't come back after cheating the child out of money! Or is it not human? Tu Shi sighed: "Give it to me, I'll help you buy it." ”
System prompt: Task "Buy Sugar Gourd", Task Requirements: Buy Sugar Gourd. Only newbies can pick up and deliver. The task is indefinite. This task can be claimed repeatedly.
There is no failure penalty for this mission, no wonder the player takes the money and doesn't come back, but is it necessary to be greedy for both money? The next moment, Tu Shi knew that he was wrong, what Xiao Ming handed him was not two copper coins, but two taels of silver! He didn't dare to ask for it, and asked: "This is not a copper coin, did you give it by mistake?" ”
Xiao Ming: "No, this, this is two pennies!" Brother, don't lie to me, I'm smart! ”
This mentally retarded person has made the wrong unit of currency! It's no wonder that the players don't come back, as long as you open your mouth for this task, you can get two taels of silver, it's like pie in the sky! Tu Shi repeatedly persuaded Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming insisted that these were two articles, and at this moment, a player came over and sighed to Xiao Ming: "Xiao Ming! You don't have enough money to buy sugar gourds! ”
Xiao Tomorrow really asked, "Isn't it enough?" ”
The player laughed, "The price has gone up!" Now the sugar gourd has to be in a string. ”
Xiao Ming nodded: "Okay then." And he took out two taels of silver and gave them to the player.
Tu Shi frowned on the side and asked, "It's not good to lie to a mentally retarded person?" It's not enough to take it once, but it's still addictive? ”
The player looked at Tu Shi like he saw an alien creature: "Big brother, this is not the real world, what does it matter?" It's money! Don't say you don't understand the money! ”
There are many ways to farm money in the game, as long as the player is willing to put in the effort, he can farm the game currency again and again. At a time when Qiankun can't be exchanged for in-game currency, each copper has its own meaning, they can be converted into a variety of resources, and determine whether the player can get ahead of others. Yes, this stupid NPC is a loophole in Qiankun, and he is the only one among thousands of NPCs who is mentally retarded and will give money unsuspectingly, and players can use him to brush money. If you take into account the "rationalization" of "Qiankun", then the money in the hands of this foolish NPC must be limited, it depends on who is faster, and of course, it can also be said that it depends on who is more despicable and shameless.
Tu Shi understands the player's approach, but he won't go along with it. He also ignored the players who knew the marrow and continued to walk.
The task is limited to novices to receive and deliver, so Tu Shi can't change jobs as soon as possible, he must find a sugar gourd seller as soon as possible and complete the task, otherwise he will stay in the novice stage. He thought the task was simple, just ask for directions, but the answers given by the children varied, as if candy gourd sellers would appear in every corner of the city. This kind of intelligence is better than not having one. On the road, there were constantly knights with swords to Tu Shi to express their intention to accept apprentices, and the knights were either heroic or extraordinary, and every invitation made him even more anxious and angry, because he could only refuse politely, watching the knights throw olive branches to other players. He turned almost the entire city upside down, and finally found his target in a tea house. He couldn't return right away, because he asked for too much - a hundred sugar gourds.
Two taels of silver are equal to two hundred copper coins, and you can buy a hundred sugar gourds.
Although only taking away a sugar gourd is enough to deliver the task, and the remaining one or two silver and ninety-eight copper coins can be intercepted by the player as a reward, Tu Shi chose to keep nothing. If other players owe Xiao Ming, he will return it to Xiao Ming. He wasted a lot of time on this task today, and he was indeed angry, and his anger was tilted towards the group of players who cheated children out of money. He had twenty chances to make excuses for abandoning the mission today, so he had to find someone to anger in order to keep the original intention of doing the mission. There are only two endings to everything, "success" and "failure", whether he runs for three hours or thirty years for this idiot task, as long as he gives up before it is completed, it is a failure, so he doesn't want to give up.
He was afraid that he would become as dirty as those people.
Back to Xiao Ming, he saw a long line of players in front of Xiao Ming, these people must have come to brush money. So many people didn't bring back sugar gourds? If you were an NPC with normal intelligence, you would have felt that something was wrong for a long time, but Xiao Ming wouldn't, he was mentally retarded, and his intelligence level was equivalent to that of an NPC in an old-style online game, repeating a few lines of dialogue back and forth, and perhaps because of this, players felt at ease and unscrupulously used him as a money-swiping machine.
The players also saw Tu Shi, and everyone was surprised. Tu Shi held a haystack full of sugar gourds, and he was dusty, just like selling sugar gourds. Someone shouted, "Brother, yes! This saves a lot of travel! Some people also asked, "Where did you find the sugar gourd?" The team was loose, and everyone wanted to ask questions around Tu Shi.
Tu Shi ignored them, and just gave Xiao Ming the entire haystack. When the task was done, he turned and walked away, not wanting to look at the smile that was missing his front teeth. He felt very uncomfortable, was he abnormal, or was someone else abnormal? In the eyes of others, is he another retard?
