Chapter 26: Friendliness
Entering the mercenary union, he walked to the place where the NPC was to hand in the task, and the NPC checked Meng Kang's mission record and said: "Please wait, this task needs to be confirmed by the publisher himself before he can judge whether to complete the task, I will inform him now." ”
"Okay." Meng Kang agreed and found a nearest table to sit down, and the entertainer NPC of the Mercenary Guild came over and asked Meng Kang if he wanted something to drink?
The mercenary union is also a leisure place, because of the need to hand over the task, there are a lot of tables and chairs, as well as tea and drinks, and some more expensive wine, which is for the handover of the task to drink when talking.
Meng Kang ordered a pot of wine at random, and the NPC took the wine and a wine glass and left to receive the other guests, Meng Kang glanced around at the players.
Some NPCs that are not easy to see often come and go in and out of the mercenary guild are cheap, and the cost of hiring NPCs to do tasks can be twice as much as the cost of hiring players, and players will not die completely after failing the mission like NPCs, which is more conducive to the collection of intelligence.
Meng Kang poured a glass of wine from time to time, and when the flask was half empty, a person finally came to his table.
"You took the 'quest to explore the Longlan Forest, right?'"
When I looked up, I saw a guard wearing bright silver and gold armor standing in front of the table, his body straight, and a long sword pinned to his waist, majestic.
Meng Kang nodded and said, "That's right, I took it, and I've already found the reason why those patrol guards disappeared!" ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, the guard sat opposite Meng Kang and said, "I am the person who issued the mission, Fang Hao, the leader of the patrol of the Second Army of the City Guard, my soldiers have disappeared more than thirty people, please tell me what happened for a while." ”
Meng Kang told Fang Hao what he had seen and heard, and after Meng Kang finished describing the appearance of the unknown creature, Fang Hao's face became very ugly, "Could it be that thing?" How did it come out? ”
Meng Kang didn't know what Fang Hao guessed, he just took out the soil sample in his backpack and handed it to Fang Hao, "This is some of the dirt that I took from the scene of the incident that was contaminated by the mist spewed by the monster, you can take a look." ”
Fang Hao took the bottle, opened the lid and smelled it slightly, and almost fell, Meng Kang quickly got up and supported Fang Hao.
After about five minutes, Fang Hao pushed Meng Kang's hand away and said to Meng Kang, "Your task has been completed perfectly, I will pay you some more." ”
"Ding, Fang Hao's friendliness towards you has increased by 5 points, and now Fang Hao's friendliness towards you is 45."
Friendship rating: 10 points below is hatred, 10 to 30 points are disgust, 30 to 60 points are average, 60 to 80 points are friendship, 80 to 90 is respect, and above 90 is to follow to the death.
Meng Kang was not in a hurry to hand over the task, but asked Fang Hao: "Captain Fang Hao, it seems that you know the origin of that monster, can you tell me, I'm curious." ”
Shaking his head vigorously a few times, emptying the dizziness in his brain, Fang Hao and Meng Kang said: "That monster is a fierce beast called a poisonous unicorn, which is extremely fast and does not have high combat effectiveness, but it is full of poison and is good at fighting with different poisonous gases.
According to the size you described, the poisonous unicorn should have a level of fifty, and the highest of my soldiers is only forty, and they can't stop its poisonous gas, but I don't know how you adventurers control this poisonous unicorn, and what is their purpose in dealing with my soldiers? ”
Fang Hao pondered there, Meng Kang didn't bother when he saw that the other party was thinking about the problem, opened the forum from the side, posted an auction cooperation post, and then began to look for some major news.
"There are many people in the Yama Hall who have been promoted to level 20, and they are currently taking over the large, medium and small bosses in the main city, and they are bound to get the guild token within a week!"
"The status of the leveling madman is not guaranteed, and the god has been surpassed by many players, and is currently ranked fifth on the level list."
"The mystery player 'hidden' has been hyped again, throwing away the business of the big guild and taking care of the small and medium-sized guild and the lone player."
"According to the strategy master experiment, a friendship level of more than 60 points with NPCs can get various conveniences and better tasks."
"The game's official claim is that players are leveling up faster than they imagined, and a temporary decision was made that the experience required to upgrade after level 20 will increase significantly, slowing down the development of the game."
"The Weapons and Equipment Rankings will be available in two days."
These message posts are the highest among the tops, and they are some of the things that players like, but Meng Kang doesn't like the first three gossip-type messages, which are not of much use, he likes the latter ones, which are beneficial to his game plan.
Seeing the strategy of sixty points of friendship, Meng Kang closed the forum and set his eyes on Fang Hao in front of him.
"Captain Fang Hao, I think you still need my participation if you want to deal with this matter." Meng Kang decided to use this NPC with a bit of status as a test subject to see if he could get some benefits from him.
Fang Hao looked at Meng Kang thoughtfully, "You have an attempt!" ”
It is worthy of being a high-AI NPC, and he can actually guess Meng Kang's thoughts, but Meng Kang has often made up lies recently in order to conceal some things that are inconvenient for others to know, and he has long been surprised by this situation, and he replied casually: "But I have a little idea, I am very interested in how to tame that kind of monster, if I can also control a level fifty monster, then I can get a lot of benefits." ”
Fang Hao looked at Meng Kang over and over again with a sharp gaze, and finally said, "Your plan will be in vain. ”
Meng Kang frowned and asked, "You don't plan to let me continue to participate?" ”
"No, no, I will ask you to continue to participate, the poisonous qi of the poisonous unicorn has a great impact on us, but it will be weakened when it comes to you adventurers, I need the participation of adventurers, and you are an adventurer who knows the specific situation of things, it will be difficult to do things without you." Fang Hao said something that made Meng Kang happy.
The adventurer in Fang Hao's mouth refers to the player, which is the name of the NPC to the player.
Meng Kang didn't let his happiness show, but asked with a puzzled expression: "Then how do you say that my plan will fall through?" ”
"At present, among all the professions on the continent, only hunters can tame monsters, and it takes at least forty-five levels to be able to tame a level fifty poisonous unicorn, and there are currently no such high-level characters among your adventurers, so they must use some kind of prop, and this kind of prop must be used by hunters, and it is only hunters who can tame monsters, this is an ironclad law." Fang Hao patiently explained.
Meng Kangxin said: "I don't care about this, I just care about you, no, why is this statement so awkward, a slip of the tongue." Although he didn't care in his heart, Meng Kang still put on a frustrated expression and said, "That's a pity, but I always feel that I can harvest good things." ”
"I hope so." Fang Hao nodded and said.
Meng Kang and Fang Hao first went to the counter to handle the handover of the previous task, proving that Meng Kang had completed the task, Meng Kang gained experience, and then Fang Hao asked Meng Kang: "My reward is not suitable for you, do you want to change it?" ”
The original quest reward was 1,000 XP, 15 Mercenary XP, 20 Credits, and a shield.
The shield is just ordinary equipment, Meng Kang doesn't care, he doesn't know if Fang Hao's proposal was voluntarily mentioned by Fang Hao, or caused by the influence of his high degree of freedom, in the face of Fang Hao, who is a high AI, Meng Kang has a feeling of talking to a real person.
"I don't need shields anymore, are there any weird props that I want to collect." Meng Kang thought for a moment and said.
Fang Hao lowered his head and rummaged in his bag, and after a while, he took out a package and handed it to Meng Kang, "Can you look at this?" ”
Meng Kang took the package and clicked to view the properties.
Parachute for Dummies:
It slows the user down from a height, but within 10 seconds of use, the user will act like a fool.
Item Description: The circus master made it especially for the monkeys used in the show, and the fool-like movements after landing will always amuse the audience.
"This item doesn't give me a good feeling, but I want it." Meng Kang put the fool parachute into the storage ring.
