Chapter 3: Where's the Reward?

·

I guess this repair room is a converted bungalow, and the location is very secluded, in the innermost part of the whole town of Podong.

The first thing that catches your eye is the horizontal and vertical pipes and dense fog, the thick oil stain that can almost drip down sticks to the huge exhaust fan blades, a large electric switch box far more than the civilian model is only a stone's throw away from the door, the eaves have several layers of barbed wire, and there is actually a searchlight.

If you hadn't asked the locals, you wouldn't have thought that this was a repair shop. It's just a matter of putting up a sign that says "Whoever trespasses, kill immediately."

As elsewhere, the doors and windows are technologically sealed, and are incompatible with the surrounding walls patched with scrap iron plates.

I plucked up my courage and rang the doorbell.

It's actually a video doorbell.

The image in the room was dark, but it was clear that the other party could see me, and just glanced at it before opening the door.

It's full of machinery, steam, and messy wires, and it's very dirty. The heat inside was acceptable, but the humidity was so unpleasant that I felt sweat running down my neck in a matter of seconds.

A young woman in crop tops walked up to me, sat down at the table as far as she could see, and said tiredly, "You people never wait for dark, do you?" ”

The sudden words made me confused.

"Did you recognize the wrong person, my name is ......"

The woman interrupted me: "I don't want to waste my time remembering names. Brought money? Still not doing it? With that, she began to undress and walk into the back room.

I seemed to understand something.

Make no mistake! This is a repair room, is it still the oldest business in human history?

"Wait a minute! You seem to have misunderstood! I'm here to find someone! ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, stared at me for a long time, and then got dressed and laughed awkwardly: "Could it be that you are the newcomer, Qiye Turbidity, right?" You've made a name for yourself lately. Who are you looking for? Now it's just me, everyone else is out to work. ”

That's when I could see her in the dim light. With short blonde hair, playful lips raised, some provocative eyes, and a cropped denim suspender pants with a sleeveless shirt, all of them are full of youth and charm.

I swallowed subconsciously, and only replied a little later, "I'm looking for the mayor's daughter." ”

The woman smacked her lips: "You like Lori?" If you want to live longer, don't go near her. ”

No, I am a law-abiding male citizen. And I don't need you to remind me to see that her father will definitely kill all the future sons-in-law.

Wait, what's going on with my fame?

She drew a red circle on the map, handed it to me, and said, "This is the mayor's house." ”

"Thank you."

I just reached out to pick up the map, but she took it back and raised the corner of her mouth: "Isn't there a charge for the map?" ”

It's embarrassing, I've just crossed over from my cozy bed, and I don't have a penny with me except for boxers and my phone.

She seemed to see it, turned her attention to my phone, and said that this machine was quite rare, and asked her to study it and send me a map.

"This is my grandfather's relic."

She deafly snatched the phone and fiddled with it back and forth in front of her eyes, as if she wanted to eat it.

I'm really panicking! It's all because of this mobile phone, if she is asked to take it apart and study, something big will happen!

I reached for it, but she shoved her phone between the twin peaks: "If you touch it, you have to pay." ”

Damn, this little girl who worships money.

"Don't worry, I'll just take a look, I can't break it." She pushed me away as she spoke.

Oh, my God! With so much force, the slender arm made me take four steps backwards with a gentle movement that seemed to clear the clouds. It's not that I'm boasting, but I keep exercising every day because I'm bored. By no means because I intend to increase the success rate of pickling girls with fitness, no.

She looked at it over and over again, nodded it everywhere, and quickly threw it back without interest. "Is it scrap metal?"

Scrap?

I looked down at my phone, and it was showing the game screen, and she couldn't see it. Moreover, she clicked on some menu buttons and nothing happened. Could it be ...... This phone, can only be operated by me?

"By the way, do you want to work?" She stretched and said abruptly, "I've been a little busy lately, and I'll pay you if you help me with my work." ”

Is this the cadence at which the task is to be posted?

I nodded.

She turned her head and marked a few circles on the map: "The pipes in these places are leaking, they are always broken, and I can't take care of them like a mother all the time." "Anyway, stuff me with a toolbox," the toolbox is going to be returned. ”

I chose to ignore her flattering eyes.

The phone came to the task.

"Faction Mission: Moon Puppet Fool is a little too busy to come 1

@总有一些管道反复损坏, the moon puppet was completely annoyed, so fix it for her.

@达成条件: Repair 6 damaged pipes

@奖励: +50 experience, +1 food, +2 water

@备注: You don't want to know where this sewage comes from."

Who is the moon puppet fool, is this woman?

I clicked "Accept" and sure enough, a "Done" button appeared. Press it and you'll be able to complete the task directly.

Click "Complete" the task.

She suddenly said to me happily: "I can't see it, you are really good at work." I have a lot of things I need your help with. ”

The task seems to be completed in seconds, but I have a bad premonition.

I stared at her, and she stared at me, both speechless.

"Little sister, what about the reward?"

She was stunned for a moment, then began to undress.

Take it off again? Are you wearing a friction-free costume?

I immediately stopped her: "No! Isn't there food and water for the quest reward? ”

She frowned and stared at me with a fool's eye: "I never said there was a reward." ”

"You did say that! You can't let me work for nothing, can you? ”

"Anyway, I won't give you money, it's okay to pay for meat, but you don't want it. Am I to blame for that? ”

I want to curse.

What's wrong with this town? First the mayor of the town took the house, and now it is the repairwoman who has taken my food. Where is the integrity?

I opened the "Roles" menu and found the experience message:

"Seven Nights: Level 1 No Job (XP 0/750)"

Sure enough, not only did they swallow my food and water, but they didn't even give me experience. It seems that it is not the reason for the mayor and the moon puppet foolishness, but the pot of the system. Even if I can complete the task in an instant, what's the point of not getting any rewards?

When I was slandering, I noticed that the button of the "Social" menu had a small red dot, opened it, and was surprised to find:

"Bobei Town Prestige: 0

Podong Town Prestige: 200"

Well?

When did my reputation rise to 200 here? I haven't done anything. However, the requirement for the previous quest was indeed 200 reputation. Could it be ......

Moon puppet fool has released a second mission, just in time to prove my conjecture.

"Faction Mission: Moon Puppet Fool is a little too busy 2

@有4处电闸箱损坏了, fix it for her

@达成条件: Level 1 of fine machinery knowledge, repair 4 damaged switch boxes

@奖励: Experience +200, Moon Puppet Fool's Special Welding Torch Spear +1

@备注: You can go to the library to learn about circuits first, otherwise, the kind high-voltage electricity will send you to reunite with your grandfather."

Sure enough, it's a series of missions.

I'm very interested in the so-called welding torch spear, and it's actually written in blue, so click on it for details.

"Moon Puppet Fool's Special Welding Torch Spear - Improved Item

@月偶愚将焊枪和长棍完美结合在了一起

@双手武器. Damage: 2 fire damage per second

@弹药: Small battery

@备注: She's tired of playing with this toy."

I'm so adaptable, and I'm numb to the constant taunts of Jun Jun.

Now I really don't have a weapon. I want a pistol if I can, but this welding torch spear is better than nothing. Hopefully, this time it won't be embezzled.

I "finished" the task.

Yue Puppet looked at me with a slightly surprised expression, nodded and said, "You are so neat, it is impressive." ”

Ignoring her, I immediately went to check the experience and inventory. Really! Nothing! Damn it!

I can't help it, I have to complain.

"Little sister, don't you wonder why I was able to complete the task so quickly?"

She touched her chin and thought for a while: "Actually, I think it's a little strange, it's only been a few seconds." However, it is also true that you have completed the task. ”

"I didn't even go out, okay?"

"yes, it's amazing that you fixed everything without even getting out of the door."

“…… Nothing else you want to say? ”

She gave a thumbs up, and I held it directly to my forehead.

Here comes the quest again.

"Faction Mission: Moon Puppet Fool is a little too busy 3

@有5处气闭闸门损坏了, fix it for her

@达成条件: Heavy industry knowledge level 1, repair 5 damaged airtight gates

@奖励: +300 experience, +1 advanced repair kit

@备注: You can go to the library in Bobei Town to learn about circuits, or you can ask the moon puppet fool to teach you, but of course she will charge a fee."

I don't have any money, and I'm too lazy to run away.

I "done" the task. Again, I still haven't received any rewards.

What it means to be free from anger, just look at the way I am now. Am I missing out on mission rewards for the rest of my life?

I couldn't listen to what the moon puppet fool said anymore, and I began to click out the successive system tasks.

"Faction Mission: Moon Puppet Fool is a little too busy 4

@指挥中心的控制台损坏了, fix it for her

@达成条件: Skill knowledge level 2, fix the console of the command center

@奖励: Experience +400, Food +15, Water +10

@奖励: +700 experience, +1 for advanced gas masks

@备注: The air filter is a regular product from the Empire, you can't fix it, and you can't even get the parts. That Niko is in trouble for you!"

@备注: If you can do this task within a year, I'll kick your head as a ball."

Ha!

Note: Jun, you wash your neck and wait for me.

I sorted out all these series of tasks in one go, which made the moon puppet foolish lady in front of me jaw-dropping. Even though I hadn't moved half a meter, she was obviously sure I had fixed everything. And......

Originally, this dimly lit repair room was damp, hot, and noisy. I just looked down and clicked on my phone for a long time, and when I looked up again, it was a brand new place!

The ceramic-clean, smooth walls are adorned with watermarks such as epic scrolls, and the seamless monolithic sheet metal ceiling emits a bright and soft glow. The mess of pipes vanished, and the four large, roaring oil-stained machines became two elaborate instruments with dust-proof glass casings. The pipes that had been spewing steam out of the walls had disappeared without a trace. There is also a pot of ornamental plants in the corner of the room!

There are no stains, no steam, no noise, and even the right temperature, and the room is pure white and clean. It's a bit too perfect!

The moon puppet foolishly touched a hands-sized operation console, speechless in surprise.

yes, if it were me, it would be shocking if everything changed in a second.

"You...... How did you do that? Her eyes widened wider than a cowbell.

I don't know...... The explanation here is not good, but it is more troublesome: "I was born with divine powers." ”

She nodded brightly when she heard it: "I see." ”

So it's such a yarn! Your receptivity is against the sky!

Yue Puppet Yu leaned sideways into my arms, ran his fingers at my chin and asked, "Baby, where are you a great scientist?" You just came to Bodong Town, do you have a place to stay at night? ”

Baby? Why did she suddenly start flirting? With her ambiguous tone, I'm sure she's hinting at something. She had a lot of strength, and I couldn't push it away. (It's not like I'm secretly cool)

I wondered what was wrong with the system, so I looked down at my phone: there were new hints in the "Skills" and "Social" menus.

Click here to view.

"Skills:

Heavy Industry Knowledge (3/5)

Precision Machinery Knowledge (3/5)

Hacking Knowledge (2/5)

Biochemical Knowledge (1/5)

High material knowledge (1/5)"

What? I've only been here for a few minutes, when did I learn so much?

This reminds me of mission descriptions. These XX knowledge are one of the conditions for achievement. Seemingly...... I don't get quest rewards, but I get what I want to achieve. The principle is unknown.

In the "Social" menu, in addition to the prestige just now, there is another column on the side:

"Thor's Opinion: -2

@警惕-1 (This kid is lying)

@失望-1 (I thought he was going to mess with me)"

I was stunned after reading it. Could this be...... Thor's opinion value?

Someone else's information is also displayed below.

"Juehuang Standing God: Opinion: -13

@不爽-2 (I hate handsome guys, they are all here to rob my harem)

@被愚弄-1 (Playing stupid?) What amnesia ghost believes)

@厌恶-7 (I hate men who talk a lot of nonsense, kill him and shut him up)

@迁怒-3 (You're all responsible, Nao knocked me on the head)"

"Moon Puppet Fool: Opinion: 78 (Relationship Constant +10)

@任务+5 (a big help, I hate fixing the gates)

@任务+10 (impressive)

@任务+15 (He was able to fix the air filter?) )

@任务+20 (The sewage treatment station can be fully upgraded, and the god of technology is standing in front of me at the moment!) )

@任务 +25 (The defense system of the wall can be fully upgraded, and the all-powerful man is the most charming!) )

@被愚弄-1 (What innate powers, when I was a three-year-old?) )

@人际关系恒量+10 (Unknown Scientist!) This man must be useful! )」

These are all records of opinion points. I've offended Thor a bit, but it's not a big problem. That Juehuang Station God is the name of the mayor, minus thirteen? No wonder they were going to pull out their guns at me. I remember that in the game of "XX Heart", once the NPC opinion value is below minus twenty, it will attack directly. The favorability value of the moon puppet fool is really high.,If the full score is 100.,She's almost being attacked by me.。

However, no matter how the favorability value of the moon puppet fool is calculated, it can't be counted? Isn't the initial value zero? What is interpersonal constancy?

While I was struggling with the data, two people came in the door. One of them is the mayor of the town.

He actually hates handsome guys? I'm sorry, I hate it too, I recognize you as a little fresh meat turned to ashes.

The two of them were stunned as soon as they entered the door, because this place has a new look, right?

"I'm sorry." The man next to the mayor scratched his head, "I'm bothering you." ”

Ha?

Only then did I realize that when I looked down at my phone, Yue Puppet had already removed half of my clothes, clinging to me, rubbing back and forth like a cat.

"Don't get me wrong!" I tried to push the moon puppet fool away, but I was hugged tighter.

The man laughed and took off his gas mask. It was a young man with dark brown middle hair, with a heroic face: "Friend, don't you know me?" ”

“…… Could it be Thor? "This unique way of speaking, and I don't know a few people in the first place, it's quite easy to guess. It was the first time I'd seen his face.

Suddenly, Moon Puppet Fool grabbed me by the neck and lowered my posture and stood in front of me. Thor held down the mayor's gun-drawn hand.

The mayor glared at Thor viciously and whispered, "Let go, do you want to die too?" ”

Sail squeezed out a reluctant smile: "Calm down, Juehuang, calm down." ”

Yue Puppet Yu sneered: "Thur, let it go, I'll see how he dares." ”

I was stunned.

I thought about it.

I get it.

I'll go! Mayor Mare's going to kill me, right? Why, is it just because of my misunderstanding with the moon puppet? Did he really think the whole town was his harem? There are a lot of maniacs everywhere this year!

And big sister, don't taunt it! I'm going to die!

Thorl smiled wryly and let go of the mayor, who glared at me as I was standing behind the moon puppet, and after a few breaths, he lowered his gun with a helpless expression.

"Okay, you all calm down. Anyway, it's only been a few days, and you've changed here...... It's amazing. "Thor plays the round," is it reopened? What did you do? ”

The moon puppet grinned foolishly and hugged my neck: "My man did it, it's amazing, right?" The volume was loud, as if announcing her possessions.

Excuse me, when will I become your man?

The mayor was visibly angry.

Sayre smiled bitterly: "It's really a rare situation, you actually have a man." Unbelievable. ”

"Came to me for something?"

Thorl handed Moon Puppet an item wrapped in rags.

"And what about you, what are you going to do?" Moon Puppet glared at the mayor, "I said it, it's impossible to be dug by Thor, you don't have to watch every time. ”

The mayor scratched the back of his head, and there was nothing to say.

The room fell into an awkward silence again.

Yue Puppet Fool hugged me tightly and yelled unhappily: "Why do you two big men have no eyesight at all? Don't you see that you should avoid it? Why, you still have to watch the whole game? ”

No, no, don't shy away, we're innocent!

I can still understand a thing or two of the above dialogue, and I can't understand the next one at all, it's basically three old friends who have known each other for many years playing dumb riddles.

Thur: "Moon puppet, I already know what you're doing secretly, you're taking a risk. I've invited you many times. Don't push me, you know I'll do anything to get my feet dirty. ”

Moon Puppet Fool: "Are you a threat?" ”

Mayor of the Town: "It's not your turn to do anything in my town. You've suddenly been a lot arrogant lately, have you forgotten the difference in strength between you and me? ”

"Some gaps are going to change." Thor sneered, "I repeat, no one can stop what I want to do. ”

With that, Thor gave me a meaningful look.

The moon puppet fool put his arms around my neck, like a hen guarding her cubs, and replied word by word: "I'm not going anywhere, and so am my man." ”

Syllable! The mayor suddenly slammed his fist into the palm of his hand: "Great! Take that man away, don't play the foolish idea of a moon puppet anymore. ”

"Where my man is, I am."

"You two are going to come with me sooner or later, don't wait until everyone looks bad on face."

"I've seen blatant digging, but I've never seen you so arrogant."

The three of them were arguing there, and they were about to start a few times, but no one pulled out their guns.

I'm so bored, if you want to fight, just fight it.

Forehead?

Why do you three look at me at the same time? What's the matter with me, I don't even understand what you're talking about!

"Seven Nights Turbidity, what do you say?" They all asked in unison.

"Ask me? Do whatever you ......."

"No, make a statement!"

I was arguing just now, but now you're unanimously dealing with me, an outsider, you guys are really old friends or something!

Attitude?

I just came here and couldn't possibly leave. Just casually say, "XX, you're so right!" "Then let's clap it.

What should I say?

A, Searle, you're so right! Bang bang bang.

B, the moon puppet fool, you are so right! Bang bang bang.

C, Mayor Mare, you're so right! Bang bang bang.

(The snap here only represents the sound of applause)
