The novice village was still sunny, Tang Tang stood aside to bask in the sun with peace of mind, and he didn't know what the gray-eyed girl named Xi Luo said to the old village chief, but it seemed that they had a good conversation.

Tang Tang wasn't worried at all, after all, he had been pestering the old village chief for so long without success, so he didn't believe that someone could do it in a few words, and in the end he had to beg him to come out.

Hmph, thinking that he was about to rely on his personality charm to impress the old village chief, get into the game bug, accept Xi Luo as his younger brother, and become the first on the list of masters of the 'Third Life', and go to the pinnacle of the game, Tang Tang couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

"Hey, you... Evil? After Xi Luo and the old village chief reached an agreement, he came back to tell Tang Tang, who knew that this guy was smiling stupidly, and even the whispers of the players passing by around him couldn't wake him up.

Xi Luo saw that he didn't scream a few times, so he untied the axe hanging from his waist and knocked Tang Tang's head with the wooden handle on the back of the axe: "Are you awake?" ”

"Hiss......" Tang Tang gasped in pain, covered his head and said incomprehensibly, "You say, there is something you can't say well." ”

"Then you say, there is something that can't be solved by a beating." Xi Luo retorted with a sneer.

"I, that's it, the old village chief, you solved it?"

"That's it."

Tang Tang looked surprised, he asked all the codes he could ask in the past few days, but it was unsuccessful, how did Xi Luo do it: "Done?" How could it be ......"

"Fill out the questionnaire first." Xi Luo handed a copy of the test paper in his hand to Tang Tang, "Congratulations, you guessed right, the old village chief is indeed played by a real NPC." ”

"Wait." Tang Tang held his head, held back, don't faint, "What is the questionnaire?" What did you say to the old village chief again! ”

"One question: 10,000 gold coins, our store does not support credit."

"What a profiteer." Tang Tang muttered, but he didn't relent, "I sent 50,000 gold coins to your account, and I will count the more when I ask questions in the future." ”

Xi Luo looked at the 60,000 gold coins in his account, and finally smiled lightly, the fat ball was right, this game does make money: "The establishment of the novice village is not as chicken as you imagined, and each player is constantly interacting and communicating with NPCs in the process of completing the task." The game's database uses these to determine a person's emotional intelligence and way of doing things. ”

"Learning different skills can be used to evaluate a person's ability to learn, and how well they can cope when they encounter difficulties. At the end of the day, everyone will be given a comprehensive score sheet that will determine the career we get when we leave the novice village and go to the metropolis, which is similar to the principle of the college entrance examination that was very popular in the last century. We don't have to do tasks now, we just need to use this questionnaire to complete the scoring. ”

"I see." Tang Tang's perception is not bad, "Then how did you convince the old village chief?" ”

"At a glance, I know that you don't usually read, and the truth written in the book is clear, and I want to repeat it to you again." Xi Luo sighed lightly, "If you want to persuade a person, most of them take the 'attacking heart' method as the best policy, or induce them to benefit, or threaten them with disasters, or move them with affection, or know them with reason." My method is to 'threaten the disaster'. ”

"Threats? Just rely on this axe? Would the old man really be afraid? Tang Tang was even more puzzled.

"It's all about attacking the heart, what does it have to do with the axe. Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and if you talk about what others like to hear, you can win favor, and if you say things that are frightening, you can make people obey. After I passed, the first thing I said was to tell the old village chief that you were in trouble. People who are not very brave can easily be frightened by this sentence. After seven truths and three falsehoods, the more he is afraid of something, he will say wherever he goes, and at the same time make a look of relieving his worries, and make him feel that I am the only person who can save him from the sea of suffering, and that's fine. ”

"And what is he afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of you." Xi Luo had already picked up the pen and quickly hooked up the multiple-choice questions on the paper, "Write quickly, after leaving the novice village, don't forget to put the remaining 50,000 gold coins into my account." ”

"Uh-oh." Tang Tang nodded, and then carefully copied Xi Luo's questionnaire.

Xi Luo quickly pulled away his paper, his face full of disgust: "You write it yourself!" ”

"No, I suddenly found that following you, the game became especially fun. And your strength seems to be quite strong, in case I leave the novice village and people outside bully me, you can still protect me. ”

When Tang Tang mentioned this, Xi Luo also felt that there was nothing wrong with letting him follow him, at least during the period when he was short of money, this person could be said to be a relief in the snow.

By the way, how much protection fee will seem more normal?

Taking advantage of Xi Luo's hesitation, Tang Tang grabbed the scroll and quickly copied it. After he finished copying, Xi Luo reluctantly handed over the two volumes to the old village chief at the same time.

The old village chief patted Xi Luo's shoulder with satisfaction: "Benefactor, go all the way." ”

A seven-colored rainbow bridge descended from the top of the cliff, and a crane and a phoenix bird flew over from the opposite side at the same time.

"Let them take you to the outside world and start a new adventure."

The phoenix bird flew to Xi Luo's side, meekly lowered her head, and seemed to signal her to sit up. Xi Luo was stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Tang Tang, this guy really had a big heart, he didn't notice anything, and hugged the neck of the crane beautifully.

How silly......

Even the old village chief couldn't see such an obvious hint.

"Xi Luo, it's time for us to go." Tang Tang sat on the crane and shouted, what other novice has this kind of treatment from them, this is riding a fairy bird to leave the novice village!

"Okay." Xi Luo also took the phoenix bird.

The sky is light blue, surrounded by white clouds, steep rocks and large trees that survive in the cracks, and flocks of butterflies flutter up and down in the sea of flowers near the cliffs. Cranes and phoenix birds flew around the novice village on the cliff, and other birds followed along the way, and the breeze caressed their faces, and they felt that the world was vast.

"Let's go down the cliff and have a look." Tang Tang patted the crane's head, and the crane bird immediately changed directions and continued to fly.

"Let's go down too." Under the command of Xi Luo, the phoenix bird also rushed towards the bottom of the cliff.

The phoenix bird chirped for a long time, and an orange light gradually bloomed on its body, illuminating the darkness at the bottom of the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff is like a large city still under construction, and all the buildings are only half finished. The two were forced to stop in mid-air, and neither the phoenix nor the crane could continue to fly downward.

"What kind of place is this? I'll look to see if there's a sign. Tang Sugar said, commanding the crane to search everywhere, and after a long time, he suddenly shouted towards Xi Luo, "There seems to be text here, but I can't recognize it, it's not Chinese or English, and the symbols look a bit like Greek." ”

Xi Luo was attracted by his voice, and rode the phoenix bird to look over, where it seemed to be the gate of this pile of buildings, Xi Luo almost blurted out: "City of Despair!" ”

"What? City of Despair? How come I haven't heard of this place in the game? Tang Tang didn't understand, so he asked more.

Xi Luo didn't speak, stared at the strange handwriting on the door for a long time, these four words were actually written in 'interstellar language'.
