The next day, Mu Yun came to the door of the flower shop after going online in the morning, as he promised Rococo yesterday.

Sure enough, as he had inferred from Rococo's suggestive message yesterday, because he had accumulated enough favorability in Rococo to trigger Rococo's story quest.

Mu Yun didn't see Rococo in front of the flower shop who said that he was going to give him some thank-you gifts, in fact, the flower shop didn't open normally as usual, instead, in front of the closed flower shop, a little Lori with red and swollen eyes was crying very sadly here.

This kind of NPC obviously shows distress, for players who are already familiar with the game "Redemption", it can undoubtedly be said that it is too obvious to be a mission signal, in fact, just before Mu Yun arrived, players who happened to be online near the flower shop had already surrounded them, trying to receive a mission commission from the crying NPC Lori.

But to everyone's disappointment, no matter how they answered, this little Lori just cried blindly as if she hadn't heard it, and many experienced players knew it when they saw this, this should indeed be a story task trigger point, but it should be the kind of special task with special trigger conditions, reminiscent of a few days ago, there should have been a cute village girl NPC who ran a flower shop and had been releasing favorability tasks., Maybe this should be a player who has brushed up on the favorability of the village girl, so the personal side plot on the village girl is triggered.

But even though this is understood,,,But there are still a lot of players who stay in order to wait for the person who really triggered the task to appear to find out the specific content of the mission.,Although the village girl was still here,,They were interested in the personal plot of the village girl who didn't look special except for cuteness.,But now that someone really triggered this mission.,Although I think that person is mostly just a fluke so I tried this task full of chicken ribs.,But after all, these came to Hero Town to "hunt for treasure. After these days of searching, players also felt deeply tired and helpless that they couldn't find more clues about the legendary "Golden Dragon Knight" relics, so they had to look at some character events that they originally thought were unlikely to be related.

Anyway, they didn't spend any time to trigger the plot task on this village girl, if they could really get some information about this plot task through simple spectatorship, and even taste something really useful from it, wouldn't it make a lot of money?

Mu Yun can understand the psychology of these ordinary players very well, in fact, when he was a grassroots player in his previous life, he often had this kind of thoughts and actions that he always felt that he was smart enough to make a little cheap with the help of the fruits of other people's labor. However, he didn't deliberately wait until the bystanders were gone to pick up the task.

As a reborn, as the number one in-game boss in the current imperial power, Mu Yun is still quite confident and arrogant in his own ability, even if these people want to be opportunistic, whether it is a head-on battle or a strategy in this game, the person who can take advantage of him Mu Yun does not exist until now - cough cough, except for the eccentric master girl Rococo of the Federation.

In this way, Mu Yun approached the crying little Lori in front of the flower shop under the gaze of many onlookers.

Listening to the remarks such as "another self-righteous pretending criminal" sounded in his ears as if it were customary, Mu Yun smiled low-key and spoke very calmly.

"Excuse me, is Miss Rococo here?"

If Rococo was really there, she might really be unable to hold back her laughter because of this old-fashioned pretending to slap her face, which would then cause a big crisis in her acting skills as a village girl's NPC, but she was lucky (a pity?). Although little Lolita is an important role in Rococo's personal plot mission, she is just an ordinary NPC, because Mu Yun is the person who Rococo set to trigger her personal plot task, so Xiao Rita, who ignored other people's conversations, immediately raised her little head that had been lowered before, and cried to Mu Yun.

"You, you're the big brother of the friend that Sister Coco told me?"

"Yes, has something happened to Miss Rococo?"

Little Lori nodded.

"Big brother, you're an adventurer, aren't you? Please save Sister Coco, woo...... My mom had a sudden illness yesterday, and in order to help my mom find herbs, Sister Coco took me out of town in the morning, but just as we were coming back, a group of bad ass bandits suddenly appeared, and Sister Coco was captured by them to protect me! ”

Because she is in the plot mode, NPC little Lori is very humane and cries while talking, but as a cold and rational senior player, Mu Yun was completely unmoved, and indifferently confirmed the task information of [Rescue Village Niang Rococo] that he received in the player interface, and then swept the faces of the surrounding spectators and players who had just laughed at him for making stupid efforts in vain with the corners of his eyes, and took in the bewilderment of these people after being slapped in the face. On the other hand, he finally showed a smile to the little Lori that he thought was very comforting.。

"Don't worry, I promise you, I'll definitely rescue your sister Coco."

In addition to the mannerisms and lines involved in the plot, little Lori, who has no extra self-awareness, can't understand why the big brother of the adventurer in front of her, "Sister Coco's good friend", was not anxious and angry at all after hearing that Rococo was captured, but could comfort herself with such a relaxed smile, she just wiped her tears, and then spoke.

"Thank you, big brother adventurer, I, I don't know much about the bad guys, but I've told Grandpa Mayor about it when I got back, and Grandpa Mare's seems to know something."

Little Lori didn't lower her voice when she spoke, so as soon as many players who stayed here and wanted to speculate heard this, their eyes immediately lit up and they thought they were smart and rushed towards the town office. Of course, Mu Yun noticed these shameless guys, but he wasn't in a hurry, after all, these people didn't have the qualifications to trigger the quest like him, and the NPC mayor couldn't get the mayor to tell them the next mission information through the system's judgment - want to get it for nothing? It's too much to underestimate the rigor of the game of Redemption, which hides a high degree of freedom.

Thinking like this, Mu Yun straightened up and walked towards the town office without hurrying, but what he didn't notice was that among the surrounding spectators who had not yet gone away, a pair of sinister eyes stared at him.

“…… The armguard...... It won't be wrong, it was revealed by Brother Crazy Tooth who was sneak attacked by Mu Yun's rabbit cub with trickery before, and although the other equipment can't be seen closely, it is basically inseparable from the intelligence...... Mu Yun came to Hero Town? Didn't he say that he and the high-level people of Mu Tianxia were not interested in the Golden Dragon Knight's relics? ”

Whispering to himself, a fierce-looking warrior player turned sideways into a nearby alley where no one was around.

"Anyway, the photo has been secretly intercepted, so I have to contact Brother Crazy Tooth quickly......"

Meanwhile, in the wasteland that is already some way away from Hero Town.

A team of bandits with various tattoos and scars on their faces, who were not good people at first glance, marched towards the northern part of the wasteland around a few simple trucks pulled by horses.

These bandits are members of the Kane Thieves Group in the northern part of the Empire, the Kane Thieves Group is not the kind of big thief group that even the Imperial Court and the military will pay attention to or even headaches, but the scale is not small at least in this area, although there are no masters in the thieves group who can control the field, but because the thieves group seems to have the background of a certain predator in the underground black market of Northern Turtle City behind it, it can be regarded as being able to safely control all kinds of gray "businesses" in this area, including Hero Town.

Among these gray "businesses", underground human trafficking is undoubtedly one of the most profitable, especially for these "professional" thieves who have no moral outlook, they go out to the villages and towns near the stronghold every now and then to catch some unlucky "goods" and come back, men and bad-looking women are sold, and good-looking women are sold when they have had enough, which is even the "fixed entertainment" of some of the most hopeless guys in the thief group.

Of course, this was already before the continent of Emissia became a game world.

Mira's game rules changed the continent, and the thieves naturally lost themselves and became ordinary NPCs like the other continent's mediocre creatures - or more appropriately for the players, they were called "monsters".

Losing themselves, these scum who originally lived only for themselves and their own desires naturally lost the motivation to rob and plunder as thieves and bandits, and now these bandits, although their action patterns are no different from before, they still go out to rob every now and then, but they no longer have any desire to satisfy themselves. The emotional component of hope is in it, and it's all because the game system is set up in them that way.

Just like today, after another raid, they grabbed the "goods" of four carts, but the bandits who were returning to the stronghold did not cheer at all, nor did they unleash their evil thoughts unscrupulously on the cart that specially tied up the young girls who had looted. The captured NPC captives were all silent on the cart with a look of despair and despair, and the bandits who had done evil also rode quietly on their horses or walked on both sides of the cart with a look of vigilance.

A group of NPCs who have not entered the story mode have no ego at all, and naturally there is no humane conversation or abuse and flirting with the captives happening, and the whole team is silent so that it is not like a group of bandits returning from plundering, but more like a well-trained army......

- Click!

…… Well, it's not so silent.

Hey, hey, hey! The village lady over there who was sitting on the cart eating fruit and looking around and stretching! You've been caught by bandits now and you're being transported to the thieves' den as a "commodity", even if you're an ordinary NPC except for you, no one cares about you, can you be a little conscious of being caught! Serious about this robbery! The dignified Kane thieves don't want to lose face!
