Doom Watcher: Ouch, there are a lot of people who have accidents today!

Lu Renjia: That's really ...... What are you talking about today compared to that kind of thing?

Doom Watcher: I do remember that last night I met a strange-looking guy on the street, said something inexplicable, and then suddenly turned around and ran away. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Dead House 2: Huh? What does it look like to look like a curiosity? What were you talking about?

Silent Turtle: Same question ...

Doom Warden: Hmm- maybe it's like a magician, right? Wearing a black robe that felt a little shiny inexplicably, and holding something in his hand, although I didn't see it clearly, I felt like a pointed hat. The words that come out of my mouth seem to be a mission or something......

Dead House 1: Quest? Have you met a mercenary mage......

Doom Watcher: No, no, he seems to be saying, "I got the mission so soon!" In fact, he was talking to me before, but he was suddenly startled, and after saying this, his face changed, and then he ran away.

Silent Turtle: You've met the player.

Silent Turtle: Our world doesn't know what's wrong, or if that's what it is, anyway

The Silent Turtle: Our world is now a game and we are all NPCs...

Doom Watcher: Oh, it's rare for Brother Turtle to say so much - but wouldn't he be able to say such a horrible thing when he does?

Dead House No. 1: Do you know about the turtle? Doomsday, the player you meet first heard a notification that someone was the first to receive the mission, and then the second time was because he was withheld for revealing information to you as an unwitting NPC.

Doom Watcher: me, don't be kidding - I'm a little timid! It's really scary for you to work together to deceive people! Brother Lu, what can you say too!

Lu Renjia: Ah...... Sorry I was distracted...... I've also met players and I'm in contact......

When Xiao Cang returned to Lin Qing's house, Lin Qing was lying on the table writing something, and when he saw Xiao Cang coming in, he took it away, and said to Xiao Cang with a gentle smile: "Have you apologized?" It's so hard for you. ”

The corners of Xiao Cang's mouth tugged hard, and he pointed to his bruised face: "It's not just hard......"

Lin Qing seemed to have a very happy smile on his face: "Oh, the butcher shop owner is really unexpectedly ruthless...... But then you don't need to feel any guilt about your boss, do you? ”

Xiao Cang was silent for a moment: "It's not because I stole something...... That hellish bear kid, when I gave him the peachwood sword, I didn't teach him such a high-end skill as slapping his face with a sword...... Besides, the boss is so strong that an adult can't even catch up with a child...... In the end, you will be angry with me...... Don't mention that, hurry up and give me what you promised me! ”

Lin Qing was still smiling: "Alas? Do you steal and trick children into being accomplices? That's not going to be easy—okay, okay, put my kitchen knife down and let's talk. Do I seem to be the kind of person who is greedy for other people's task rewards? The reward for the last mission is also something you don't want to actively want...... Well, as promised, a normal set of clothes, and a skill book. ”

Xiao Cang looked at the "Skill Book: Gathering Technique" in his hand, and was silent for a moment: "If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have said that the skill book of "Theft" was a lonely book at that time? ”

"Sure enough, it's a secondary disease...... To be honest, I didn't think thieves were handsome anymore after I left elementary school...... But it's better to deceive in this way, Xiao Cang. Lin Qing has always had nothing to do with the surface in his heart, and he still has a pure smile on his face: "If I'm not mistaken, what I said at that time seemed to be 'maybe'?" ”

"......" Xiao Cang is at his own expense this time, of course, on the surface, Lin Qing has never done anything excessive, "I understand what you mean." You want to have the long-term relationship you mentioned with me last time, right? ”

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face became gloomy again: "Surprisingly, my comprehension ability is good, classmate Xiaocang." Anyway, I'll give you this book sooner or later, but only when I think you're completely useless or I think I can control you by other means. ”

Xiao Cang was terrified for a moment, and began to seriously consider whether to give up the skill book and run away......

Then Lin Qing's expression suddenly brightened again: "Just kidding, how can you control people with such a skill book?" Right? As I said, we have a long-term 'cooperative' relationship, and our status is equal. As for this skill book - he is the only skill book I have in my possession now, so in order to prevent you from thinking that my usefulness has disappeared, it is better to keep it in my possession for two days for the time being. Speaking of which, doesn't your game system offer services such as contract guarantees? ”

"......" Pale Yan looked at Lin Qing silently and did not speak.

Lin Qing smiled like a snake in the Garden of Eden, and said in a seductive voice, "Can't you say it? Don't you think it's a very profitable thing for you to work together? And even if you say it, it doesn't really matter, right? Even if you reveal unknown information to me, it's just experience-"

"System Warning: NPCs are prohibited from directly obtaining game information through similar means, and repeated violators will erase the existence."

"What are you doing all of a sudden! What do you mean...... Can't you just ask? But why didn't you say it when I asked it before? Is it because I'm going to make a proposal that actually works? Lin Qing frowned and stopped talking.

Unexpectedly, Xiaocang's shrewd side gradually revealed: "You mean that my side is only deducting experience points, and after I reveal the information to you, can I use the task to slowly brush up?" That's a good idea. I didn't expect you to even know this kind of information......"

Lin Qing smiled and changed the topic: "Let's talk about this issue later, I think that with your current level of trust in me, you won't risk being deceived by me to tell me information, right?" Let's talk about the specific cooperation. In short, the first thing we need to do is to understand under what conditions the task is recognized, and then how the experience points given to you are settled. ”

Xiao Cang always felt that he smelled the smell of conspiracy, but the specific rules for the release of the task were explored to be beneficial to him, so he nodded in approval.

"So the first step is to study whether the task must have a task reward before it can be released."

A dark smile appeared on Lin Qing's face: "Then, you can take your piece of pork and cook me a meal first?" Tell me in advance, I'm not going to pay you anything. ”

"System prompt: If you come across the task 'Cooking Labor', please accept or decline it in words."

"Huh? Is that okay? Xiao Cang received the task, so he had to run to cook reluctantly.

"System prompt: According to the recent performance and achievements of NPC Lin Qing, the title 'Insidious Profiteer' will be awarded."

At the same time, Lin Qing also got a system prompt, and it seems that Lin Qing, who got this title, still looks shameless and proud of it......

"Title: Insidious profiteer

"Effect Description: Equipping a character with this title will make a relatively familiar character wary of themselves, and master the magic 'absolutely fair equivalent exchange'. Consume 200 MPs to exchange the selected holdings for 10 days for CD10 days with the opponent's possession with the same position as the selected target's holdings within 50 meters.

"Note: Fairness is a relative concept. - So said the great merchant Magister House Kers. ”

"That's a powerful skill...... It's just that this CD is a little longer? Lin Qing combed through the relevant information in his mind, "Negative buffs can also be exempted by not equipping them at ordinary times...... Alas? Can't take it off? That's a bit too much...... It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of wasting more spit......"

"Speaking of which, what's my MP? I haven't looked at my own attributes yet...... Except for the title and name ball, there is none, huh...... No MP column?! What are you kidding! ”
