Chapter 384: Blackmailing the City Lord of Tianchen (Medium)
"This ...... That one...... Haha, hahahaha...... This gentian is related to the physical safety of his wife and daughter, I will let people go to the medicine first, as for the issue of this reward, let's not rush first...... Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's talk about it later, let's talk about it later......" The Tianchen City Lord patted his head, smirking like a neurotic for a while, his expression stiffened for a while, and then he changed continuously, obviously thinking about something......
"......" Ye Tianxie was silent for a while, and said faintly: "City Lord...... You don't think you're trying to regret it, are you? The bow of the Emperor of Zhutian is on your body, you just give me a gesture, can't delay you for a few seconds, and use 'go back and talk about it'? β
The root of the Tianchen City Lord's hatred was itching, before this, he couldn't imagine that Ye Tianxie could really get the gentian of the Immortal Demon Dragon, so he happily agreed to take the Zhutian Emperor's Bow as a reward...... Now he longed to slap himself on both ears. The Zhutian Emperor Bow is a protective artifact given to him by the goddess Xiyao in Tianchen City, and it cannot be given to others at all...... Otherwise, it is not only a disrespect to the goddess of Xiyao, but also what should be used as the last support when Tianchen City is in danger...... It's not about the safety of the entire Tianchen City!
"This matter ......" The Tianchen City Lord held back for a long time, and finally held back three words, and then there was no follow-up...... Did you really give him the bow of the Emperor of Zhutian? That's absolutely impossible. Denying the past? This kind of dirty thing, this kind of thing he really hasn't done in his life. Once he did, his old face, his reputation, and his conscience...... At least, in the future, he will become a discredited figure in Ye Tianxie's eyes, and he is the lord of a city, so he doesn't want to raise his head in front of him.
"As the saying goes: 'Once a word is spoken, it is difficult for a horse to chase', 'A man cannot stand without faith'; Railing Clint said: 'If you stumble, you can immediately return to your feet, and if you lose your trust, you may never recover'; MoliΓ¨re said: 'It is more important for a man to keep his promise than to guard his property'; Hubbert said, 'He who loses his trust is dead in this world'; Mozi said; 'Those who do not believe in their words will not succeed in their deeds', and Eng Erji said: 'The most immoral part of mankind is dishonesty and cowardice'; Cicero said: ' The Great Stallion said: 'When integrity is gone, the flesh has no life', XXXX said.................. Lord of the City, you are well-read, and you only read 'broad and profound' books, you must be familiar with these vulgar sayings, when a person loses his integrity in front of another person, then he will always become untrustworthy in the eyes of the other party, and if a person has no integrity, he will have no dignity, and even his soul will be stained forever. Lord of the Castle, you won't do anything treacherous, will you? β
Ye Tianxie gushed endlessly, a lot of words came down, he was stunned without a pause, and the Tianchen City Lord who listened directly was stunned, dumbfounded, his old face was red and white for a while, and he even had the heart to jump the Yellow River when he said it. He wondered infinitely if this kid had memorized it before.
However, being forced to this extent, he will definitely not be able to drag it out like this...... However, the matter related to the Zhutian Emperor's Bow is too important......
He sorted out his thoughts, calmed his mind, stiffened his head, and said with a stubborn old face: "Young man, oh no, little brother, come on, come on, you sit down first." β
"The city lord doesn't have to be polite, you are always the lord of a city, no matter your ability and power, you are supreme in Tianchen City, and your conduct and virtue have always made me deeply admire, and you are an elder, how can I be on an equal footing with you, well, you still sit all the time, I will stand." Ye Tianxie said lightly.
ββ¦β¦ All right. The Tianchen City Lord held back again, and did not sit down, but sighed and said to Ye Tianxie: "To be honest, when I asked you to get the gentian of this immortal demon dragon, I never thought that you would succeed......"
"yes, I know." Ye Tianxie interjected directly.
ββ¦β¦ That's why I agreed to give the Zhutian Emperor Bow as a reward, because I was so sure that you couldn't really take the Zhutian Emperor's Bow, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to use it as a reward anyway. The Tianchen City Lord said.
"So, what do you mean, Lord Castle?" Ye Tianxie squinted his eyes and said.
ββ¦β¦ You should also know the importance of the Zhutian Emperor's Bow to my Tianchen City, if it weren't for it, we wouldn't have been able to drive away the Blood Phoenix at all, it was related to the safety of my entire Tianchen City, so I couldn't give it to anyone. The Tianchen City Lord said with a stiff old face.
Ye Tianxie was speechless for a long time, and then said slowly: "City Lord, you would rather be treacherous for the sake of the safety of Tianchen City, which I admire very much...... But, have you ever thought about the consequences of breaking a contract? β
When a player receives a quest from an NPC, it is equivalent to establishing a contract. The player completes the quest, the NPC gives a reward, and the contract is completed. If the player does not complete the mission, they will not receive any reward, and may even be punished for violating the contract. And if an NPC breaks the contract...... For example, if the player completes the task but does not give a reward, or does not give enough rewards, etc., it is an NPC breach of contract...... Players can then file a complaint with the system and punish NPCs.
NPCs are punished far more severely than players for violating contracts. After all, a player's breach of the contract can only be aimed at one NPC, and an NPC, with countless players in front of him every day, will be quite serious after breaking the contract.
In Ye Tianxie's mission description, it is clearly written that the Tianchen City Lord will be rewarded with the Heavenly Emperor's Bow, and if the Tianchen City Lord does not give it or changes it without authorization, it is a breach of the contract. That mission statement is equivalent to a contract, and the witness, the system of the game world, will not have any favoritism, omission, or falsehood.
Ye Tianxie's words made the Tianchen City Lord's cold sweat flow down.
He didn't expect that Ye Tianxie would actually know about violating the contract.
And the punishment for violating the contract, he knows better than Ye Tianxie. As the lord of a city, it is taboo to lose trust to the citizens and players...... In this way, he can't even do it as a city lord.
He hurriedly said, "Let's discuss this matter carefully...... The Zhutian Emperor Bow is very important, and there is a strong evil aura on the bow, if you take it with you, it will be easily discovered, and then it will be hunted down by some greedy masters in the Lost Continent...... Moreover, this bow must be level 80 or above to be used, and even if this bow is in your hands, you will not be able to use it, and it will cause you huge trouble. β
The Tianchen City Lord gave a bitter persuasion, but was blocked back by Ye Tianxie's words: "It's okay, even if it can't be used, it's a pleasure for me to take it out and see it every day." β
The Tianchen City Lord grabbed his scalp hard, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, thought of something, and immediately overjoyed, and secretly scolded himself for patronizing and panicking, how could he forget such an important stubble. At that moment, his face softened a lot, and he nodded and said, "Okay...... However, what we originally decided was that if you took the gentian of the undead demon dragon, I would give you the Zhutian Emperor's Bow...... But, only temporarily borrowed from you for a period of time, not given to you, I hope you don't forget, and this period ......"
"Of course I haven't forgotten." Ye Tianxie muttered to himself in his heart: This product finally remembered: "The Zhutian Emperor Bow is the Zhencheng artifact of Tianchen City, how can I really take it, just use it for a few days." β
The Tianchen City Lord gritted his teeth and said, "Since this is the case, I will hand over the Zhutian Emperor Bow to you...... But after three days, you have to return, remember, three days! β
"Woo-la-la...... A golden light shone between the hands of the Tianchen City Lord, and then, a huge giant bow that was a few points larger than the Tianchen City Lord's body appeared in front of him, and the moment it appeared, a strong evil aura that made Ye Tianxie almost couldn't help but retreat rushed towards him.
The bow body is golden, standing there two meters high, the entire bow body is like a golden dragon rising into the air, and the lines around the body are like the scales of the golden dragon, Ye Tianye was stunned for a while, staring at the eyes of this bow, revealing a greedy light.
He didn't say a word, and stretched out his hand to the Tianchen City Lord, who had a hot head for a while, and when he saw his hand stretched out, he naturally handed over the Zhutian Emperor's bow to him.
Holding the huge bow and looking at it for a while, Ye Tianxie grinned at the corners of his mouth, put the Xutian Emperor Bow into his backpack, and the evil aura and coercion disappeared, he smiled and said, "City Lord, thank you, I will use this bow well." β
"Remember, it's only three days." Tianchen City Lord Zhengsedao.
"Three days?" Ye Tianxie looked puzzled: "Why is it three days...... Did we have a definite deadline at the beginning? β
"......" Tianchen City Lord had a black line on his face: "I didn't have it at the beginning, but now I have it, three days is three days." β
Ye Tianxie shook his head resolutely: "Since there was no time limit for me to possess it at the beginning, even if it is limited now, it should be decided by us through consultation, not by you alone." β
"Okay, forget it." Ye Tianxie took out the gentian of the undead demon dragon and put it on the table, turned around and waved his hand: "This bow is on me now, how much time you set is your business, and how long I want to use it is my business...... We didn't agree on a time limit at the beginning, so even if I pay it back to you in 10,000 years, it won't be a breach of contract. And if you forcibly set a time limit or even forcibly snatch it, you will be breaking the contract...... Well, goodbye. β
As soon as Ye Tianye raised his hand, he was about to leave. Only then did the Tianchen City Lord realize that he didn't know what kind of wind he was pumping just now, and he actually gave him the Zhutian Emperor Bow directly before he could discuss it...... Now he can't get it back even if he wants to, and he is completely forced into passivity.
As he said, even if you have it for 10,000 years! ~οΌ
