Chapter 8 The Leather Craftsman Lao Chen
The village looked at Ning Yi in surprise, if it weren't for the relationship between the two and becoming close, he would have been angry at this time and let people beat out the stupid fool in front of him who bragged and didn't make drafts.
Tao Zhong was very suspicious: "Just a few words? β
Ning Yi smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, just a few words are enough." β
Although Tao Zhong was puzzled, he still did so, and he quickly gathered the NPCs in the village and gathered everyone in the open space in front of the ancestral hall.
Thousands of villagers gathered together, and the scene was spectacular, which attracted the players of Songzhu Village to be amazed, and they stopped practicing, and ran over to join in the fun.
In the crowd, the three strong people and the thousand-faced milk bottle all recognized Ning Yi standing next to the village chief.
As for the other players, they were surprised that Ning Yi's character level was as high as 6, and the village chief Tao Zhong, a fat cripple who had always been known for his violent temper, actually treated Ning Yi with courtesy.
No matter which one of them is, many players were shocked, and they were even extremely curious about Ning Yi's identity.
Many players are guessing which god Ning Yi is in the game's vest, otherwise they can't explain the current various unbelievable events.
Just when everyone's minds were full of question marks, Ning Yi spoke: "Now is the most dangerous time in the history of Songzhu Village, and a group of evil murderers are eyeing our quiet and peaceful village. β
Sure enough, with Ning Yi's words, the faces of the NPCs in the village began to show melancholy.
Ning Yi continued: "But don't worry, the black wolf thieves are nothing special, they are just a bunch of stinky rats in the ditch. I, on the other hand, swore with the sword in my hand that I would never let go of any member of the Black Wolf Thieves. β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.
System: -200 opinion of the Black Wolf Thief, turn into hatred.
System: Villager Gou Er's opinion of you is -200, turning into hatred.
And it worked!
Ning Yi saw the prompt sent by the system, and immediately rejoiced in his heart, he used the system's favorability setting to identify the spies planted by hostile forces through public remarks.
First of all, all the personnel of the Black Wolf Thief had a favorable opinion of -200 towards themselves, and Ning Yi's relationship with the Black Wolf Thief changed from indifference to hatred.
Then, because the spy himself witnessed this incident, his favorability of Ning Yi was -200, and the relationship immediately changed from hatred to hatred.
Although he offended the black wolf thieves, Ning Yi didn't care, anyway, he didn't plan to let go of this gang of thieves.
"How's it going, do you have eyebrows for the righteous?"
Tao Zhong asked anxiously, for fear that things would be messed up.
Ning Yi smiled and bowed: "Don't worry, I'll leave the rest to me." β
Although he knew that Gou Er was a spy of the black wolf thieves lurking in the village, he did not plan to use the power of the village to exterminate him.
Ning Yi suspects that according to the urine nature of the system, the more difficult tasks you complete alone, the better the rewards given to players.
It was still a long time before the night, so Ning Yi was not in a hurry to kill Gou Er, but first went to find the leatherman and Miao Zhu in the village.
Outside the door of the only leather goods store in the village, there is a circle of living players, these players who don't like to fight monsters and level up or can't beat wild monsters, gather here to increase the favorability of the cobbler Lao Chen.
They hope to trigger some quests, or simply let Lao Chen take them as apprentices and teach him the art of leathermaking.
You must know that in the fantasy world, beast monsters do not drop equipment, only materials, so the prospects of life and career are still very attractive.
Therefore, those players who are interested in this way are all eager to do it, for fear of being one step late and losing the opportunity.
I have to say that among the tens of millions of players, it is impossible to be stupid, and there must be people who have started to gain the favor of NPCs and triggered the quest.
However, Ning Yi relied on his strong strength to still walk ahead of everyone, but unfortunately the phantom world has not yet opened the ranking list, so no one knows Ning Yi's amazing ability.
Naughty Missile is a professional player, which is the legendary high play, but unfortunately that was in the past. In the Phantom World, he is no different from ordinary players, and now he is only in the exploration stage.
However, professional gamers are professional gamers after all, and their professionalism is not comparable to that of amateurs.
"Lao Chen, I'm here to hand in the task."
Naughty Missile smiled and handed over 100 complete mountain rabbit skins to the cobbler, and finally completed the task [Collecting Mountain Rabbit Skins] that he had finally triggered.
Then he received the task reward, learned to collect skills and skinned, and the character was successfully promoted to level 5.
γPeelingγ
Peel the leather from ordinary beasts.
Notes: You will need a sharp knife.
Not only that, but the first reward of the mission is a white weapon of ordinary quality, a skinning knife, and it is with this knife that the hunting efficiency of the Naughty Missile is greatly improved.
Peeling knife (normal quality)
Attack 5-8
Peel allows the player to peel leather.
Weapon Type: Dagger
Required Level: None
Note: Zhou Papi, I know you!
The Naughty Missile has already made the relationship between the cobbler Lao Chen and him friendly, as long as he is given another day, he is confident that he will be able to brush up on intimacy, but he will definitely be able to trigger hidden quests, and even reward Twilight equipment.
He is very satisfied with his current state, compared to ordinary players, he still wears novice clothes, and works hard for a few copper plates every day, but he is already on the road to a well-off life.
Dressed in leather armor, he is indeed qualified to be proud.
"Hehe, a strong man like me is usually the protagonist."
Just as the naughty missile was indulging in narcissism, Ning Yi walked into the leather goods store with his feet raised, he was still wearing the pants of a novice suit, and the half-body armor on his body also looked shabby.
So the naughty missile didn't take him seriously, even if he was 1 level higher, we are professional players!
In order to show his arrogance, the naughty missile deliberately straightened his chest and walked back and forth in the store, dangling there with the brand new leather armor that he had managed to save up.
It's a pity that this bit of showing off is playing the piano to the cow, and Ning Yi didn't even look at the naughty missile.
Failed to get the expression of admiration and envy from Ning Yi, Naughty Missile felt that his heart as a professional player was very hurt, and he hummed dissatisfiedly in his heart: What madness, isn't it 1 level higher than my brother, this is because my brother hasn't exerted his strength yet, otherwise he would have thrown you to the edge of the sky a long time ago!
Ning Yi didn't know this thought, he just took out the wolf skin in the backpack casually and handed it to the cobbler Lao Chen.
Lao Chen glanced up at Ning Yi and said indifferently: "Broken wolf skins, 20 yuan each." β
The money here refers to copper coins, and there is no doubt that the purchase price given by the NPC is quite black, even less than one-fifth of the real price.
"These wolf skins are not for sale, I want you to make me a pair of boots."
Ning Yi said with a smile, he is penniless now, but he lives in the Yang family, he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he doesn't need much money.
And these wolf skins are the materials that are hit from the level 5 wild monsters, and the equipment used to make them must definitely not be bad.
Strength is more important than money.
Lao Chen, a cobbler, stood there with a cold face and said very arrogantly: "Our store does not accept orders. β
Seeing Ning Yi eating deflated, the naughty missile who had been silently watching was secretly refreshed: Let you be crazy, let you not worship your brother, eat deflated, hahaha!
It's a pity that his schadenfreude didn't last long, and when Ning Yi took out a scarred but glowing animal skin from his backpack, the cobbler Lao Chen's eyes widened.
"This is!?"
Twilight-quality materials can be said to be unprecedented in this small village. Leathermaker Lao Chen felt that his hands were trembling, he dreamed of becoming an intermediate leathersmith, but unfortunately he had never made a leather goods of Huiyue quality, so he could not be promoted for a long time.
And now, a great opportunity is in front of him!
"Can I take a look?"
"Please."
After getting Ning Yi's approval, the cobbler Lao Chen held the skin of the remnant tooth in a pilgrimage-like posture, caressed, felt, and thought, he had an ingenuity to pursue perfection.
Ning Yi smiled secretly: Sure enough, according to the remarks on the skin of the remnant fang, another hidden task was successfully triggered, it seems that the boss of the lone wolf remnant tooth has really given a lot of benefits.
"Please give me this wolf skin to make!"
Lao Chen carefully put down the things in his hand, turned his head and sincerely asked Ning Yi.
Ning Yi was a little embarrassed: "But you just said that you don't accept custom-made ......"
"That's the standard for treating others, you are a valued guest, and the treatment is naturally different."
Saying this kind of differential hospitality in such a grand manner, Lao Chen's face is thick enough, and his thoughts are also very dark.
Ning Yi was still a little embarrassed: "Yes, I can, but I'm penniless, I'm afraid I can't pay my salary." β
Lao Chen waved his hand angrily: "What kind of friendship do we have?" Talking about money hurts so much! This time it's free! β
Looking at Lao Chen's generous and heroic appearance, the whole person of the naughty missile is not good: Is this TM still the old Chen he knows? What about your pride? What about your festival? You are Lao Chen, the one who always treats players with command, stingy, black-hearted Chen Peel!
Lao Chen has repeatedly given in, but Ning Yi is still too insufficient, so he has to inch in and say: "Then by the way, help me process these broken wolf skins, I need a good pair of boots." β
Well, the thickness of the wheel skin, Ning Yi's self-confidence is not lost to others.
And to the dumbness of the naughty missile and some of the surrounding player apprentices, in the face of such excessive requirements, Lao Chen actually agreed without hesitation!
What the hell is wrong with this world?
The heart of the naughty missile has been so painful that it has begun to doubt life.
Lao Chen's efficiency is still quite high, or this is a game after all, it only took more than an hour of work for him to make a cloak from the skin of the remnant teeth, a cloak that flashes with blue light!
