Chapter 158: Fighting wits and courage
"Traveler, I'm pretty sure you're here to make trouble, who ordered you to come? Is it Trick's gang? I tell you, I won't be ruined by you! β
He Xi wondered, within a radius of several hundred meters, only one of Maktoum was an equipment merchant, and the others were collectible merchants and props merchants, in He Xi's memory, according to the elimination method, it must be that this guy didn't run away, but why did he deny it? He has the ability to sell, why doesn't he have the ability to admit it? Also, what do those last sentences mean? Is it a new quest clue?
"Hello Maktoum, I'm not here to make trouble, I need your help. www.biquge.info But I found that you also seem to need help, so it's better to help you, you help me. I'll help you solve your troubles first, and then you can help me solve my troubles, how about it? β
Maktoum thought about it seriously, and he walked back and forth in place with his chin propped up, hesitating.
"Well, traveler, I do need help. You may not be able to help, but... You can try. β
Team Tip: Don't eat green peppers and accept the quest [Trick's Blackmail]!
"Guoguo, share the task with me."
"Okay."
γTrick's Blackmailγ
Quest content: There is a gang of bandits in Monrok City, the leader is Trick, they stole the ancestral badge of Maktoum's family, and used it to blackmail Maktoum and ask him for money, Maktoum will never bow down like an evil force, he refuses Trick's blackmail. Help Maktoum to retrieve the badge from Trick and return it to Maktoum, who will make good on his promise.
"Guoguo, do you have any suggestions?"
"Well, there's a gang in Monrok City... Leek thieves? β
ββ¦ Bandits, pronounce FEI, the third tone. β
"Oooh! Guoguo has learned something new! β
ββ¦β¦β
He Xi led the green pepper back to Monrok City, and began to wander aimlessly, and when he met people, he asked if he knew Trick, and the answers he got were all negative, which made him a little painful. How is it that every task is looking for someone... Can't you fight heartily?
"Hello, ma'am, I am the commercial representative of Capra Company, the Capra Service Center shows that you just received 1 Honor Chest worth 1,880,000 Zeny from the service staff, did you collect it yourself?" An NPC suddenly walked around to the green pepper and asked her.
"Ah??? Sammo??? I don't!! β
"Madam, if you don't confirm the collection, then there may be a record deviation, please go to the service center with me to confirm."
"Oh oh, oh oh! Big brother, you wait for me, I'll go with him. β
"Come back, come back... What are you going to do..."He Xi couldn't cry or laugh.
"He said..."
"Guoguo, this is Monrok, that NPC is a liar... He lied to you..."
"Ahh He's a liar?! β
"And what about my Glory Chest?!"
ββ¦ He lied to you, where did you get the treasure chest of honor..."
"Ahh
While dealing with various deceptive NPCs randomly swiped out in Monrok City, the two went around the city to find Trick, but they turned around for nearly an hour, and there was still no gain. Coincidentally, He Xi found that Shangguan Lumen was online in the friend column.
"Lumens, what are you doing?" He Xi greeted him.
"I'm researching how to open the Capra service in Al Paran City, and although countless players have poured into Al Paran since I posted over the weekend, no one has activated Al Paran's Capra NPC so far, so there is no way to use their warehouse, teleportation, banking, and other services. I don't think the city has really been opened yet, and it will be a glorious event for such an important city to be connected to the main cities of the kingdom. β
"Oh, then you can get busy, by the way, I want to ask you, do you know that Monroc has an NPC named Trick?"
"Yes. Trick, one of the 11 supernovas of the kingdom, is supposed to be lurking in the city of Monrok, he is known for his fraud and buying and selling information, but he rarely chooses to use force to coerce others. β
"Supernova 11? What is that? β
"The 11 high-risk elements wanted by the kingdom in the last decade are young, powerful, and erratic, which is a headache for the kingdom."
"How do I find him?"
"You have a mission? It must be a mission to find him by name in order to trigger a specific plot to meet him. β
"Yes, [Trick's blackmail]."
"I see. In this way, I will tell you how to do it. You do this first... And then like this... And then like that... Oh yes, after triggering the plot, you have to have a code, and the code is like this... And there are such ... Remember? β
ββ¦ Well. Are you sure so? I mean, it's weird..."
"That's it. I'll withdraw first. Shangguan Lumen no longer replied to He Xi.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh, it's okay, let's go find the liar just now, he can show us Trick..."
β¦β¦
"Hello, sir, I am the commercial representative of the Capra Company, the Capra Service Center shows that you have just received 1 honor chest worth 1,880,000 Zeny from the service staff, did you collect it personally?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Huh? Oh, there, since there may be some record discrepancies, please come with me to the service center to confirm. β
"There's no way to confirm, I sold the chest for cash, 1,500,000 Zeny."
"Huh? Oh, then, what about this cash? If you return cash, you can also do it. β
"Consumed, what's wrong?"
"What? Consumed? This, because, because you spend a huge amount of money, we need to know where your money goes, what did you buy? β
"I bought elephants."
ββ¦β¦β
"Questions?"
"Hehe, you can really brag and mess up my train of thought." The liar NPC left a sentence and walked away reluctantly.
"Wow! Big brother! You've deceived him! And then pinch? β
"Then we have to find a liar..."He Xi couldn't cry or laugh, and complained in his heart that the method given by Shangguan Lumen was really painful.
The two of them continued to walk around the city, and after a while, a well-dressed female NPC walked up to He Xi's side.
"Hello, young man, I need your help. My name is Lily, and I am the mistress of a wealthy man in the city, and he is eager for me to bring him a son, but he is... I hope you can help me, I won't do you any wrong! She approached He Xi and whispered.
"Oh, so how do you want me to help?"
"I want to too... Son... As long as you can fulfill my dream of being a mother, I will give you 500,000 Zeny. You look strong and powerful... I think you can help me..."
"Oh, that's fine, I'd love to help you."
"So..."
"Mom!"
βοΌοΌοΌβ
"Don't you want a son? Mom! Mom! He Xiqiang resisted the urge to slap himself and continued to shout.
The female con artist NPC runs away.
