Chapter 66: You Bully Me
Yamanashi Prefecture, a city at the foot of Mt. Fuji, is actually a small town, only slightly larger than a novice village. [Ran^Text^Library] The prefecture of Yamanashi is an irregular rectangle with a length of 500 meters from north to south and a width of 100 meters from east to west, and the city is surrounded by an earthen wall more than half a meter high, which is supposed to be the 'wall' of Yamanashi Prefecture.
Yamanashi Prefecture has only one north-south street, which runs through the middle of the city, and it is very narrow, lined with low thatched houses, giving the impression of a dilapidated one. In the middle of the city is a castle made of stone, about twenty meters high, which is set against a low hut to make the castle look very tall, and the castle is the place where the lord lives and does his work, which is what the player calls the 'system'. I don't know if it's because the city is too small, or if there are too many players on the street, the street is very crowded, and the shops on both sides of the street are full of people, and the city seems very lively.
At this time, an NPC came up on the street and caught the attention of the Japanese player. This NPC is Mu Mu, and since Mu Mu didn't get any useful information on the forum, he can only find a way from the game. Since there is no information, Mu Mu is now in a dark eye, and he can only take one step at a time. Kiki settled at the foot of Mt. Fuji, and first of all, he wanted to find a city, so he followed the map to Yamanashi Prefecture.
Mu Mu didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, he was going to sneak into the city quietly, and then find a way to collect information. But it didn't turn out as he hoped. Mu Mu wanted to keep a low profile, but his height of more than one meter and eight meters, against the backdrop of a group of Japanese players who were only one meter and six meters tall, looked very tall and mighty, and he was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, attracting everyone's attention at once.
Players in every country are the same, and when they see special NPCs, they want to rush forward to take on the mission. As soon as Mu Mu entered the city, he was surrounded by Japanese players, all wanting to collect the quest from him. Mu Mu looked around at the players around him, and he suddenly became nervous. When Mu Mu entered Yamanashi County, he thought it was a small city, and the level of players and NPCs here was not high, so he could better blend in, but the players in front of him were all above level 20, and there were several level 25 Japanese players. Mu Mu had several questions in his heart: "Why are there so many high-level players here?" "Is there any special NPC here that attracts them?" "Is your identity exposed?" ......, these are just Mu Mu's guesses, and before the answer is revealed, he doesn't dare to act rashly, and for now, he can only be cautious with these players.
The Japanese players did not make a move on Mumu, but were very friendly to Mumu one by one, depending on the situation, treating him as an NPC and wanting to receive the quest. At this moment, Mu Mu finally put his mind at ease, and he could just ask the Japanese players for some news. Since Mu Mu is an NPC, he has to put the NPC's score, so he scolded the surrounding Japanese players: "I see that you are all quite powerful, why are you wandering around the street, what are you doing around me when you have nothing to do, what should you do?" ”
The NPC takes the initiative to speak, which is the rhythm of the prompting quest. Originally, it was a Japanese player who tried his luck, but now it was really good luck, and they all surrounded Mu Mu and didn't leave, and they squeezed forward desperately one by one, for fear that the task would be taken away by others, and for a while, the scene was very chaotic. This is different from Mu Mu's idea, he hopes that the more low-key the better, but the player is so messy, if it attracts the government, then Mu Mu will be in trouble, so Mu Mu yelled at the player: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze." It's a pity that no one listened, which made Mu Mu anxious, and he shouted loudly: "Whoever is squeezing, will not give him the task." At this moment, everyone stopped, and everyone looked at the NPC with blank eyes, and the scene was finally under control.
After Mu Mu finished speaking, he regretted it, he was an imposter NPC, and there was no way to issue a task to the player, what should I do now, Mu Mu wanted to regret it, this time the Japanese player didn't do it, someone said in the crowd that Mu Mu had promised them the task, and he had to fulfill his promise, otherwise they would be welcome.
Mu Mu didn't expect the Japanese players to be so crossy, since he said it, he had to fulfill his promise, otherwise, so many players would make trouble, and the government would come over soon, he was now a stowaway, so he was afraid of attracting the attention of the government. Mu Mu felt aggrieved in his heart: "I think he is very popular in China, and the players and NPCs are not played by him." How did you get to the territory of the Japanese, and you were threatened by them. Although Mu Mu was angry, he still knew forbearance, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves. This time, I'll cheapen this group of little Japanese first, and in a few days, you will eat me, and I will make them vomit one by one. ”
Mumu is an impostor, and he must use a reasonable excuse not only to silence the Japanese players, but also not to make them suspicious, and at the same time, it is better to let himself gain something. It seemed difficult, but it wasn't the first time Mumu had done something like this, so he began to weave lies. Mumu told Japanese players that his name is Sasaki, he was born in Yamanashi Prefecture, but when he was very young, he went abroad, and he has been studying abroad for so many years, and he just returned to China a few days ago, and after returning to China, he was going to visit his hometown to visit relatives, but he was surrounded by players as soon as he entered Yamanashi Prefecture. Since Mu Mu has just returned to China and has not yet reported to the government, he can only be regarded as a foreign NPC now, and he cannot issue tasks to Japanese players. However, Mu Mu has already spoken, he can't chill the hearts of the people in his hometown, he is ready to violate the rules of the system once, although he can't issue an official mission, but he can simply ask some domestic questions, and then give the player some small rewards. In doing so, he was able to understand the changes in the country over the years. In addition, it will not be caught by the system.
The Japanese players listened to Mumu's words and wept bitterly one by one. I think this NPC is too good, like these NPCs in China. When Japanese players mention domestic NPCs, they are angry in their hearts, this is that NPCs don't have much ability, but they have a big temper, and they always ask players to do this and that, but the rewards given are very picky.
The question asked by Mu Mu is very simple, and there is no standard answer, Japanese players can just say something related to the country, and the NPC will give them a reward, all of which are some potions. Although these items look ordinary, in the minds of Japanese players, they feel that they are already very good, and if you want to get the same prize from domestic NPCs, you must complete at least a few difficult tasks. Mu Mu learned a lot of useful news from Japanese players, especially when he knew that Japanese players were exploited by NPCs more miserably. Mu Mu was angry in his heart: "Dog's day, let this group of little Japan be choked, when has he ever suffered such a loss." So he immediately stopped giving little Japan benefits and was ready to put on a show. However, Mu Mu felt that he couldn't be so cheap and small Japan, and now that he has established a good impression on Japanese players, this is a good opportunity to put a long line and catch big fish.
Mu Mu is about to leave, although the Japanese players are reluctant to let him go, but they suddenly crossed such a good NPC, they must cherish it, and they can't mess with him. However, to their delight, when the NPC leaves, he tells the Japanese player that he will still stay in Yamanashi Prefecture for a while, and that he will have time to communicate in the future.
Mu Mu actually didn't suffer much, he only gave some alchemy potions, but he collected many useful situations, which were of some very important help to him in today's game process. Based on his experience with game companies and some information provided by Japanese players, Mumu has come up with some basic conditions in East Asia.
The joint network pays great attention to fairness in the new world, although there are a total of 8 service areas in the new world game, but the resources allocated to each service area are the same, so that the number of bosses refreshed in the game, the number of dungeons, and the number of equipment dropped, skills, the number of main cities, and high-level NPCs are the same. And the status of each country in the new world is the same, regardless of the size of the country, it is the same, each country will design its own map, there is a main city, there are high-level NPCs. Such a design can be a coolie league game area. For example, in the East Asia region, there are more than a dozen countries in it, and they are evenly distributed, with only one main city and a small number of high-level NPCs in each country. Especially at the beginning of the game, the NPCs of each country will be biased towards players from their own country. Such a design is a paradise for countries with a small number of players, and a hell for countries with a large number of players. Japan, the country with the largest population in East Asia, Japanese players face a situation where there are more monks and less porridge, and they are exploited too hard by NPCs.
There is only one main city in the Japanese district, and there are only a dozen other county seats. Due to the game company's capacity limitations, only high-level players can enter these cities. Other players can only enter cities like Yamanashi Prefecture, which is one level lower than the county seat and slightly higher than the novice village, and these cities have very few functions. Even in such a city, only players above level 20 can enter, and other low-level players can only stay in the wild.
There are only four types of shops in Yamanashi Castle: Hotel, Inn, Blacksmith Shop, and Exchange, and the NPC level in these shops is not high, but only high-level technicians. Don't look at the low level of these NPCs, but they have a very big temper, and each NPC is arrogant, either scolding the player or ignoring the player. Mu Mu saw several players paying a great price to learn the simplest recipe.
What happened in Yamanashi Castle confirmed the player's statement, Mu Mu couldn't figure out how Japanese players could stand such NPCs, but Mu Mu saw that those players were enjoying it very much, and he only felt that Japanese players were cheap. Maybe Japanese players are just a group of uninformed earth leopards, for such a small profit, they still work hard to complete the task, without a little sense of oppression and exploitation. There is only the joy of completing the task. This is a natural cheap bone, Mumu came to Japan really came to the right place, he can imagine the Japanese player lying at his feet and flattering.
