Chapter 10 The Village Chief
I remember that when I went out, my Lao Tzu said to myself...... Come back early, don't walk at night or something, he didn't pay attention to it at all, how old is he still worried about this?
It's okay to listen to it in the wilderness, but you still have to worry about it in your own village?
It doesn't matter if you drink and lie on the street and sleep all night, at most after being found the next day, you will go back and be smoked by your own Lao Tzu.
"Who are you...... Outsiders? ”
Subconsciously, he said a word, and then he felt that he was going to suffer, and sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the sharp object against his waist and eyes immediately began to be strengthened, and the mouth that wanted to scream was also blocked.
It's over, this will not listen to his own words, and he will properly pit himself to death!
"Who!? An exclamation suddenly rang out.
In the midst of the chaos and desperation of the blacksmith's apprentice, his covered mouth suddenly loosened, and subconsciously, he cried out loudly.
"Help!! Killed!! ”
The village that had been quiet boiled for a moment, and when the blacksmith apprentice came to his senses, he couldn't help but rub his eyes, as if he had seen something wrong.
"Questions?" Zheng Chen rewrapped the short knife in his hand in the strip of cloth and looked up and asked.
"Uh...... No. The blacksmith apprentice's gaze quickly withdrew from Zheng Chen's expressionless face and shifted to the few people on the ground who attacked him, "They...... He's dead? ”
Shaking his head, Zheng Chen looked at these players, they were now in a strange coma, he obviously didn't make a heavy hand, he just made them lose their combat effectiveness, as for killing, he didn't want to try, he had seen the scene of the player disappearing after death.
Seems to be the so-called forced offline?
If you kill them, maybe it will be the same.
It didn't take long for villagers to arrive at the place, some carrying torches and others carrying oil lamps...... Some were even holding flashlights...... Zheng Chen was already a little surprised by this.
The crisis was resolved, and the blacksmith apprentice's brain also turned around, and he glanced at Zheng Chen a little strangely, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental.
"Drinking is when the incident is apologized." Before the blacksmith apprentice could raise his doubts, Zheng Chen said first.
......: "Mom, this is what Daddy said?" Go back and theorize with him! Looking at Zheng Chen, who had already left, the corners of the blacksmith apprentice's mouth twitched, maybe his father knew what was going on, and went back to ask.
The next day, Zheng Chen came to the pharmacy of Ping Shizhi, and the pharmacy that would open early on weekdays was still closed at this time.
"How do you know I live here?"
Ping Shizhi, who was blocked by Zheng Chen at the door of the house, was stunned when he saw him, except for the pharmacy, he didn't seem to have told Zheng Chen about his home.
"You're the village chief."
"Well, I see." Ping Shizhi stroked his beard, "At that time, I casually said that you were really serious. ”
"No one says village chiefs can't work part-time."
"Ahem, let's not talk about that." Ping Shizhi coughed lightly twice, "You did a good job this time, but don't use this way in the future." ”
One night was enough time for the people in the village to figure out everything that had happened, and the methods used by Zheng Chen were indeed not very glorious.
But quite effective.
"Okay."
A smile appeared on Ping Shi's ten-fingered face, "Although I said so, it's okay, it's better not to have a next time......"
"Difficult!" This is obviously an ideal thing, and he will not give up any hope.
"yes...... There will be no peace here in the future. A hint of a smile on Ping Shizhi's face was put away, and he said a little heavily, "Can I still ask you for something?" ”
"What?"
"It's very difficult to deal with this incident of killing outsiders." Ping Shizhi said with some entanglement, "The outsiders you caught last night have already been interrogated, and they are all very hard-mouthed, and they will enter that 'coma' state for a long time after some torture, and they haven't woken up again. ”
"Didn't find anything?" Zheng Chen asked, he could guess why some players were killing people, but he couldn't say it explicitly......
"There is a point that the outsiders who have been caught are just ordinary people, but they have an abnormal mentality of not fearing death."
"Well, tell me what you're going to do with me." For those players, this world is just a 'game' world, and of course it lacks the so-called fear of death.
Ping Shizhi groaned for a moment and began to speak.
Last night's interrogation did not reveal nothing, and likewise, this group of outsiders did not kill people before, they were only instigated to do so.
It's as if killing people can give them some benefits, and that's why it's troublesome, and if they can, Ping Shizhi doesn't want to cause serious conflict between villagers and outsiders.
Because they are not afraid of death, they can do a lot of bad things without scruples, once the conflict arises, the big loss is still the village, it is necessary to give those outsiders some warnings that make them jealous, although they are not afraid of death, but they do not want to die easily.
The family of the deceased also needs an explanation, and there is no trace of the murderer at all, so the outsiders who were caught can only act as unlucky now.
What Ping Shizhi wanted Zheng Chen to do was to let him do an attack when he was openly interrogating these outsiders, and if something similar happened in the future, don't hesitate, continue!
Anyway, nothing can be interrogated, and it is too easy for the village to solve these outsiders to exacerbate the contradictions.
"Of course, this is not done in vain, the families of the deceased have already pooled together a share of the money for the lives of those outsiders."
Buy the lives of those outsiders.
Whether it was written to vent his anger, or whether Ping Shizhi concealed the truth, Zheng Chen took over the matter.
But the commission should be thought up by Ping Shizhi, is this still the kind-hearted old man who believes in the parents of the doctor on weekdays?
As if seeing Zheng Chen's doubts, Ping Shizhi continued, "I am the village chief. ”
A good village chief, this is Zheng Chen's evaluation of Ping Shizhi, maybe his way is not the best, but it is a good way for the stability of the whole village.
Soon, the news of the public interrogation of the outsiders who 'killed' spread in the village, and the players in the village got a new topic and immediately became lively, and they went to watch the notices posted on the streets.
"Someone really did that." Players who saw those notices couldn't help but discuss, in reality, there were a lot of strategy posts not long after the second world was opened.
One of the things that all players care about, how to level up quickly!
The most common way is to increase attributes and accumulate experience points through hard training, and then it is obtained by killing some lives, such as the existence of a level 1 to kill chickens, you can get very little experience points, but after upgrading to the second level, the experience points obtained will be greatly reduced, if nothing else, you will not gain any experience by killing chickens after the third level.
Killing can be improved, and some people think of killing...... Anyway, it's just an nPC in the game, so it doesn't matter if you kill, right?
As soon as this post came out, players were divided into two factions, one was in favor and the other was repulsive, this game world was too real for them, and most players couldn't accept such a thing as actively 'killing'.
It's okay to beat small animals, kill people or something...... It's too guilty to do this for no reason.
In addition to these two ways, there is also a way to quickly gain experience points for the exploration type, exploring those nPcs with unknown names, unknown equipment, unknown maps, and of course, this harvest is only useful for the first crab eater.
Finally, it's the most classic way, fight the boss!
There are many powerful creatures in this world, and some players who were born in big cities happened to see a giant dragon skimming through the sky......
"It's okay to do this, I was actually caught by nPc, it's a shame, what time is three o'clock in the afternoon?" A player looking at the notice asked, puzzled.
"Who knows...... Noon, as if it were a statistic of time before the old era. ”
"What's the use of asking here, hurry up and ask Emperor Koppi on the forum."
"What time is three o'clock in the afternoon?"
After Zheng Chen glanced at the notice, he directly found Ping Shizhi.
“…… There is a school in the village, why don't I say hello to the master and let you go to the class for free? ”
"There's no time." School? Zheng Chen passed by there, and there were some babbling children, let him join those children?
"Young people need to read more books, you just go to the vegetable market and squat before lunch." Ping Shizhi said and turned around and walked into the house, took out a cloth bag and stuffed it to Zheng Chen, "Your things." ”
It contained a copy of the flat ten fingers and a gold sore medicine that had been agreed on first, as well as a gold coin and a few silver coins......
There are many different cultures in this world, and even though there are coins in many regions, if you are constantly running around, it is best to prepare gold and silver coins of this standard specification.
Each place has an equal conversion ratio, and if you want to leave after you've spent enough, you can just convert the banknotes back into gold or silver coins.
These in Zheng Chen's hands are a lot of expenses for ordinary people in the village.
After accepting these things, Zheng Chen began to prepare, maybe those players who were caught were impulsive after being instigated, but at this time they had to take on this matter, which can only be said to be unlucky.
It's a kind of nature to watch the excitement, before the time for the trial, the interrogation place has been full of people, the villagers in the village are quite kind, and they didn't throw vegetable leaves and rotten eggs at the players who were escorted, and many players were mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement and look at these unlucky eggs who were on the way to the escort, and their mouths were stuffed with cloths.
