The NPCs in Radiance, especially those with important identities, tend to have high AI, and their behavior will follow the personality set for them by the system, whether they are kind or cunning, or murderous or arrogant.

Therefore, there is a certain amount of unpredictability when dealing with NPCs, and if the other party is disgusted, it is very likely that they will not be able to continue the communication, which will eventually lead to the failure of the mission.

Considering that there is such a large investment now, it would definitely be unwise to offend this apothecary master for inappropriate behavior at this time.

Therefore, Zhao Xi decided to wait a little longer, anyway, he has been waiting for a long time, and now is not bad for this time.

He didn't believe that this old guy could spread his wings and fly away!

Patience and persistence proved necessary, and after only ten minutes, Red was back downstairs, with a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl coming down with him.

The girl was dressed in a plain white dress, her face was pale as if she had just recovered from a serious illness, and her cheekbones were so thin that her cheekbones were high and protruding, but her eyes were big and bright.

Red took her little hand tightly and took her down, his face full of love.

And when the girl saw Zhao Xi and Lin Mei standing in the living room, she was a little surprised: "Father, who are these brothers and sisters?" ”

Zhao Xi took the opportunity to step forward and said with a smile: "Hello Sister Elisa, we are here to visit Master Red. ”

The girl was even more surprised: "Do you know my name? ”

Zhao Xi smiled silently, he was not a fool. How can you not guess the identity of the other party.

Previously, when Lin Mei took out the materials, Red shouted that "Alyssa" was saved, obviously his daughter was seriously ill and needed to be treated with medicines, which was completely in line with the elements of the plot mission.

And at this time, Red seemed to have just woken up from a dream: "Ah, you haven't left?" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xi suddenly felt that there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping across his chest, and he couldn't wait to pull out the blade of fate and cut this old guy who pretended to be confused to the ground with a knife - could he be more shameless?

Of course, this can only be thought about, if you really cut down Red, don't say that the reward of the mission will be completely lost. He will also be wanted by the system as a murderer. Because the crime of killing neutral NPCs for no reason is huge.

Zhao Xi glanced at Lin Mei, after all, she was the tasker.

Lin Mei was also very smart, and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master Red"

"I know, I know"

Red interrupted her with an unhappy wave. He muttered, "You adventurers. It's all about asking for things. Give one bronze to pay back one gold! Alas, I think I was Rhett back then."

He babbled and said, which made Lin Mei really cry and laugh. It's hard to refute either.

This old guy talked for a long time, and then with a look of pain on his face, he took off the pale gold ring on the ring finger of his left hand, and then handed it to Lin Mei.

The quest reward is finally here!

Zhao Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was really worried that he would collapse if he was pestered by this old guy again.

But what he never expected was that the matter was not over yet!

Seeing that Lin Mei had just reached out to pick it up, Red took the ring back and said, "I rely on this ring for food, if you hadn't brought me the medicinal materials for treating Alyssa this time, I would never have given it away!" ”

He stroked the ring in his hand, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

Zhao Xi and Lin Mei couldn't help but look at each other, neither of them knew how to answer each other correctly.

Fortunately, Red himself uncovered the mystery: "It's not impossible for me to give it to you, but you have to pay another sum of money to buy it, and it must be enough money for me and Alyssa to live for the rest of our lives!" ”

Still want money? It's easy!

Zhao Xi couldn't help asking, "How much money do you need?" ”

Red held up a finger at him.

"100 gold?"

Zhao Xi asked tentatively, but he knew very well that 100 gold coins would definitely not be enough.

Rhett's face really showed an angry face, and Zhao Xi quickly changed his words: "1000 gold coins?" ”

"10,000 gold!"

Red said the answer directly!

"10,000 gold?"

It's a lion's mouth!

Zhao Xi really didn't expect the other party to offer such an astonishing sky-high price, you must know that according to the basic price in the game background set by the official "Radiance", 20 gold coins can ensure that a family of five has no worries about food and clothing for a year, and the value of gold coins in the game is far more than the real value.

To put it another way, buying a piece of bread in the game is enough for 1 copper, and a good ale is 1 silver, the latter of which is usually consumed only by the player.

10,000 gold coins can be sold in the big trading market, and you can sell about 1.1 million to 1.2 million in cash, which is enough to buy a house in a small town!

Zhao Xi wondered if this old guy knew that the two of them had just made a sum of money, and the figure of 10,000 gold coins was too much of a coincidence, right?

And Red ignored Zhao Xi's ugly face, and said stiffly: "That's right! It's 10,000 gold coins, and you can't do 1 less, so decide quickly! ”

At this moment, even Lin Mei hesitated: "Brother Da Niu, don't forget it, in case of this ring"

Lin Mei was worried that the value of the ring in Red's hand was not worth 10,000 gold coins at all, maybe it was worth it in Rhett's opinion, but in fact, it didn't have much effect on the two of them, because the values of NPCs were different from those of players.

It's not uncommon for people like this to happen, and many players who have suffered losses in this area have posted in the forums that they were blackmailed by NPCs, most likely because they spent money to buy NPC things.

If it is hundreds or thousands of gold coins, Zhao Xi and Lin Mei can also recognize it, but the value of tens of thousands of gold coins is too great!

The hesitation of the two made Red even more impatient: "Hurry up and decide, I'm going to take Alyssa out of here, if you don't want it, then we'll go!" ”

With a glimmer of hope, Zhao Xi asked, "Master Red, can you let us take a look at this ring first?" ”

This is undoubtedly the best solution, if the ring is really worth the price, then buy it, if it is not worth it, then the task is done in vain, and you can't put another money into it.

But he underestimated the shamelessness of the old fellow, who said cleanly: "No! ”

No way!

You're pushing me!

Zhao Xi gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "We want it!" ”

The money is scattered and comes back, anyway, the money is taken for nothing, so it is used as a gambling bet!

Since Zhao Xi had made up his mind, Lin Mei naturally had nothing to say.

Not long ago, she took 10,000 gold coins from Crazy Riding Rhodes, although she used up a little bit to buy power-enhancing equipment for Zhao Xi at the exchange, but as the housekeeper of Rhino Xinyou, she was in charge of the finances herself.

So the 10,000 gold coins, she still made up and traded them to Red.

The old guy was very simple, and immediately after handing over the ring, he patted his daughter on the ass and left, and the whole room of jars and jars was given up - with 10,000 gold coins on him, he really didn't need this garbage.

It's just that the other party ran so fast, which made Zhao Xi seriously doubt that this ring was something big.

He looked back at Lin Mei, but saw that the girl's expression was very strange.

Lin Mei pinched the ring that had been bought at a huge cost with his fingers, staring at it directly, as if he wanted to laugh as if he was about to cry again, and his face changed as if he was completely stupid.

Worst!

Zhao Xi secretly shouted that it was not good, it seems that this time he really suffered a big loss and fell into a big fool!

He coughed, and was about to say a word of comfort.

Lin Mei turned around suddenly, opened his arms and hugged him tightly, and screamed: "Ah~"

Zhao Xi was taken aback, this girl can't be mad, right?

He hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, even if we suffer a loss this time, we should pay the tuition, anyway, I picked up those two pieces of equipment for nothing, and it is enough to exchange them for the God of War Ring!" ”

Lin Mei let go of her arms, her pretty face turned red, and her eyes were full of excitement.

She didn't speak, just showed the ring in her hand to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi glanced at it and couldn't help but be stunned! ——

Thank you for your support from my little sister and friends, thank you! (To be continued......)
