Chapter 175: The Mission That Was Finally Triggered
Rococo originally asked Arya to create the clone of Sister Coco, originally just to be able to participate in the plot of the Storm Inland Sea and improve the strength of her own NPC mode in two places at the same time, but because of the existence of Sister Coco, Mu Yun basically dispelled the suspicion that Mu Yun had about her since the Holy City incident, which was an unexpected joy.
However, what she didn't expect was that although Mu Yun was extremely ashamed and embarrassed after it was confirmed that Coco's sister, that is, the player Rococo, and the village girl Rococo were not the same person, Mu Yun did not try to treat this incident as if it had never happened as Rococo imagined.
On the contrary, Mu Yun actually reorganized his mood after a short period of embarrassment and depression, and dealt with Rococo again, only this time, Mu Yun, who no longer doubted Rococo's identity, began to treat her with a normal attitude towards ordinary NPCs, and unexpectedly brushed up her NPC favorability task.
In fact, Mu Yun's psychology is not difficult to understand, if he misunderstands that the person who makes such an oolong is a real player, then even if he has a good psychological quality, he will always be a little uncomfortable when facing the other party again, but at the moment, in Mu Yun's eyes, Rococo is a game village npc who will not laugh at him because of this, and he is not even a real "person", so Mu Yun doesn't think there is any shame in misunderstanding Rococo and then coming to do her task, and NPCs will not laugh at themselves.
…… Well, no, no, although he did occasionally feel a hint of mockery from the village girl's expression, but it must have been his delusion, yes, delusion.
As for why he wanted to brush up on the Rococo favorability task, Mu Yun also had his own reasons. Like the player of the same name, Rococo, Mu Yun doesn't have any memories related to his past life for the village girl NPC Rococo in front of him, but there are so many NPCs in the game, even if he is a reborn person, it is impossible to remember them all, which is not surprising. What really interests Mu Yun is that he thinks that even if this village girl Rococo is not pretending to be the player Rococo, her personal plot branch line that needs to improve her favorability to start must not be simple.
After all, Rococo is the borrowed NPC he met on the streets of Wangcheng when the game was launched, and it has been confirmed through the "repayment of money hidden plot" that he triggered just now. Although the current Rococo looks no different from the average NPC villager, Mu Yun remembers very well that the village girl Rococo who was knocked down by him at that time reflected a very high degree of humanization, and a non-merchant mercenary villager NPC was able to haunt the Imperial King City and the remote hero town in the north without the player touching her, the plot tasks triggered by Rococo relying on favorability may not be simple in Mu Yun's opinion.
Even thinking of the hero town here is the legend of the Golden Dragon Knight's Relic, Mu Yun is a little skeptical that Rococo will have something to do with this legend, although before because Mu Yun knew that no one found the Golden Dragon Knight Treasure buried in the Hero Town until the later stage of the game, so he felt that the legend of the Hero Town was a pit, but now he found a strange NPC like Rococo in the Hero Town that seemed to have some mysterious hidden on his body, and he couldn't help but let Mu Yun think about it.
Rococo didn't fully know why Mu Yun insisted on doing her favorability task, and Luo Coco was also a little entangled in Mu Yun's actions at first, after all, she didn't have a good impression of this reborn who inadvertently caused her a lot of trouble, and she didn't even plan to have much intersection with him if she could, but after thinking about it carefully, Rococo had to admit that Mu Yun was indeed an ideal candidate to help her trigger her personal plot.
A few days ago, because the favorability task as a pre-task has been ignored, her personal plot task has basically made no progress, but at that time, because of Chu Jiajia's backlog in her heart, Luo Coco couldn't afford to worry about it. But now, Chu Jiajia's matter has been resolved, and Rococo has finally realized that because of the existence of the half-month deadline for the return of the doppelganger, although it has only been a few days, it is better for him to advance the progress of his personal plot task as soon as possible.
Mu Yun appeared just right, originally Mu Yun had already saved a little bit of the village girl Rococo's favorability because of the previous borrowing money to repay the plot task, and Mu Yun didn't know anything about Rococo like other players, and only regarded her as an ordinary village girl so she looked down on the hidden plot tasks on her, and the most important thing is that in Rococo's personal plot mission, the player also needs to have a certain amount of combat effectiveness, at least to be able to defeat the bandit boss at the end of the mission, in this regard, There are few people in the game who are more suitable than Mu Yun, who is a reborn boss and has extremely strong equipment skills.
After figuring it out, Rococo no longer reluctantly handed over the favorability series tasks to Mu Yun to brush, and she was a little worried about whether Mu Yun could persevere, but fortunately, the reborn boss did not disappoint her.
The difficulty is not high, but the more cumbersome favorability task was insisted on by Mu Yun one after another, and soon Rococo found that the favorability of Mu Yun in his NPC attributes was close to the level required by the task.
Hawkers, in fact, because Mu Yun did work hard to do the favorability task she assigned this day, Rococo's impression of his "troublemaker" has indeed changed slightly - in a sense, this can be regarded as a rare place in the system that makes Rococo feel full of favorability values that are reflected in reality.
Soon, until this night, when there was still about an hour or two before the offline time, after Mu Yun came back and handed in the task again, Rococo noticed that at the edge of his NPC system interface, the label in the task release function bar that represented the first stage of the personal plot line task suddenly brightened from a gray state.
Well, it looks like Mu Yun has met the favorability requirement to trigger her personal story mission.
"Thank you, Mr. Muyun, it's great to have your help."
Because Mu Yun's favorability relationship with her is now above the "friend" level in the system judgment, when Rococo talks to Mu Yun, he no longer needs to work hard to make that formulaic NPC smile with a straight face, and for Rococo's slightly more humane behavior, Mu Yun only regarded it as a change caused by the increase in favorability, and did not care too much.
"It's okay, is there anything else you need help with?"
"I'm sorry, I'm always bothering you, Mr. Muyun, but now I really don't need Mr. Muyun's help," Speaking of this, Rococo keenly caught a hint of premonition flashing in Mu Yun's expression, "Ah, by the way, if you can, Mr. Muyun will come and sit down tomorrow morning if you have time, I will make some cookies and small cakes as a thank you for your care." ”
It doesn't seem to be a task commission, but Rococo believes that a reborn person like Mu Yun with memories of his past life must be able to see that this is the classic routine mode in which many NPCs in the game trigger their personal plots after their favorability reaches a certain level, and sure enough, Mu Yun's face when he heard this sentence showed a relaxed look, obviously although he insisted on brushing the favorability task until now, Mu Yun actually didn't like this kind of difficult but cumbersome chicken rib task like other players.
After nodding his head and agreeing, Mu Yun said goodbye to Rococo, turned his head and walked towards the outside of Hero Town, thinking about taking advantage of the last hour before going offline today to make up for some of the leveling process owed for today's task, and after Rococo watched Mu Yun turn the corner, he also clicked on the personal story mission in the window of his NPC system and chose to start the mission process.
After a while, from a nearby house, an innocent and cute little Lori with red hair combed into two braids, with a little freckles on her face but did not affect the whole, appeared at the door in a panic, and then trotted all the way to the door of Rococo's flower shop.
"Luo, Sister Rococo, it's not good!"
This little Lori is the key character in Rococo's first phase of the personal story mission, the daughter of the bakery proprietress who befriended her, and was regarded by her (the original village girl Rococo character) as a little Rita like her own sister.
Although Rococo has already known his personal plot through the introduction of the NPC system, because Xiao Rita, an ordinary NPC transformed from the natives of the Emissia continent, it is obviously impossible for her to have her own consciousness and understand the so-called "plot" like her, so she has to cooperate with the little girl in order to promote the plot.
"What's the matter, little Rita, what's wrong?"
"Sister Rococo, my mom she's sick!"
