Chapter 86: A bounty of 10,000 gold
When Qi Dafei followed Hu Hao to the central square, there were already a large number of players here, and as soon as this task was released, it was really empty, and all players flocked here.
Quests are posted on a bulletin board in the central plaza and can be claimed by all players, but only one player can complete them.
The condition for completion is to provide sufficient evidence to the city defense battalion to prove the identity of the murderer, of course, if the murderer can be directly arrested, the task must be the highest. Although the bounty for this mission is 10,000 gold, the final bounty will definitely be determined according to the completion of the mission.
The bounty can only be given to the first player who provides clues, so everyone fights for speed.
Because there are too many players, the players who squeezed to the side of the bulletin board that released the mission are reluctant to come out, carefully studying the details of the mission there, and the players on the periphery can't get in at the moment, and they can't help but start scolding, if this is not a safe zone, I'm afraid a large PK would have happened a long time ago.
Although it was only less than half an hour since the bounty task was released, the bounty of 10,000 gold was enough to make this task spread quickly throughout the city, and in a short period of time, everyone knew about it.
"Come back, come back tomorrow, this task will definitely not be completed in a day or two, and I don't care about such a little time." Qi Dafei looked at the crowd of people, and immediately decided to go back to sleep, even if he squeezed until dawn, he might not be able to squeeze to the side of the billboard.
When Qi Dafei and Hu Hao walked back, they happened to run into Nanshan Nan and them who came with a large group of people, so they handed over all the equipment to them, and by the way, let them pay attention to the details of the task, and then everyone studied and studied together.
In fact, Qi Dafei was still very curious about how the system would release this task, and even more curious about how the city lord's wife was suddenly killed. As far as the tasks in the current game are concerned, Qi Dafei has done a lot of strange tasks, such as the mine-bombing truck mission issued by the owner of the magic item shop, and the mission of investigating the enemy situation issued by the village chief, which are all tasks that other players have not been exposed to.
According to Qi Dafei's experience of these missions, he also roughly understands the release mechanism of these special tasks, the special tasks in the game will not be released for no reason, there must be some correlation before and after, and the NPCs in the game have their own unique personalities, which also prompts these NPCs to release some special tasks when certain conditions are met.
But this 10,000 gold bounty task is still a bit strange, and the strange thing is not why the city lord will issue the task, but why the city lord's wife will be killed.
After experiencing the last monster siege incident, everyone knows that the city lord is more afraid of death, his mansion must be heavily guarded, and as an NPC, he must also have a certain combat effectiveness, so it is impossible to be killed by the player, not to mention others, the player can't even enter the city lord's mansion, and those terrifying guards can kill most players in seconds with a single sword.
Such an analysis shows that the city lord's wife was killed by someone or a monster in the game, but how could she be killed for no reason, and the murderer's reason for killing is also a doubt, as long as he figures this out, Qi Dafei believes that it will be of great help to solve the case.
Qi Dafei walked all the way and muttered quietly, "Why is it not the city official who died, not the city lord, not some other NPC who opened a shop, but the city lord's wife?" ”
"There are too many doubts in this, and it stands to reason that as the wife of the city lord, it is definitely not something that ordinary people come into contact with." Qi Dafei continued to analyze.
"Who knows, we'll see the details of the mission release tomorrow." Hu Hao replied that he was more afraid of this kind of brain-using thing, and he was usually handed over to Qi Dafei to deal with it.
When the two returned home, Hu Hao went to bed early, Qi Dafei was still lying on the bed, constantly tossing and turning, his mind was full of this 10,000-gold bounty task, he hadn't taken it to heart yet, but the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, and now his mind was full of doubts about this task.
"Being able to sneak into the city lord's mansion to kill people shows that the murderer is much more powerful than the guards, and the strength of the average guard is about the elite level of level 20." Qi Dafei silently calculated that the strength of the guards was still what General Li of the city defense battalion told him when he did the task last time.
"It's more powerful than ordinary guards, and what I know in the city at present is Li Jasmine's squad leaders and their chief captain, General Li, and maybe some NPCs like professional mentors."
"Li Jasmine's ability is probably not enough to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion and kill the City Lord's wife, and now the rest is General Li and those professional mentors, and there may be some other officials I don't know." Qi Dafei silently screened NPCs that met the murderer's strength in his heart.
The killing of the city lord's wife will never be without warning, since the system has arranged it this way, there will definitely be the cause and effect of this matter, of course, these causes and consequences are impossible for players to know at present, maybe there are fewer high-level officials who will know some, such as General Li and others, of course, there must be a city lord among these people.
……
When Qi Dafei woke up at 6 o'clock the next morning, he found that Hu Hao was already lying in bed browsing the Internet, and he called up the system's built-in web browsing function and was checking the game forum, which was almost all discussing this 10,000 gold bounty task.
"You woke up, I slept too early last night, and I woke up at 4 o'clock this morning, it's still suitable for me to stay up late, I can't sleep so early next time." As soon as Qi Dafei woke up, he was discovered by Hu Hao, and hurriedly pointed to the blue translucent webpage in front of him and said to Qi Dafei, "You see, everyone is discussing this matter, and many people say that the blood clan did it." ”
"Oh? Bloodline? Qi Dafei got up when he heard this, and hurriedly stretched out his head to look at the post, what the landlord said was reasonable, and the head of the analysis was the way, and finally came to the conclusion that 80% of it was probably done by the Blood Bat King.
"What do you think?" Hu Hao asked.
"When was the Lord's wife killed?" Qi Dafei didn't answer immediately, but asked rhetorically first.
"Yesterday at 6 or 7 o'clock in the afternoon, I don't know the specific time, I read the post and said it was about 6 o'clock." Hu Hao flipped the post back again, looked for it and said: "Some players went to ask the guards, and the news of the city lord's wife being killed came out of the city lord's mansion at about six o'clock, and then the bounty task was released after a while. ”
