Kevin is a bard, and he has a natural sensitivity to things such as story setting and plot direction. At the beginning, he was a good hand at complaining about various routines, and now he is playing the same game. Kevin himself doesn't like to follow a set routine, and he finds it particularly boring to play games in a step-by-step manner.

However, for real NPCs, the favorite person is to come up and start leveling directly. Keep telling him "I want to kill monsters", and then the NPC randomly touches a few monster cards to come out, the sieve that should be thrown into the sieve, and the settlement experience that should be given to him to settle experience. You don't have to think about it.

It is said that there are really people who keep killing monsters, killing for a week, and becoming the top in life, and being ridiculed by the industry as a novice village sword saint. However, Kevin felt that this kind of gameplay was too boring, and this so-called killing of monsters was not really killing, but just a few words, and the cards were flipped over. All your earnestness and hard work is just a line from the NPC's mouth, which is too ...... It's too abstract.

However, since he has already spent money to play, Kevin still decides to continue playing, just to see how the plot goes. However, there are also countless slots in this plot.

"Okay, I see. The village chief can't be killed, all the people in the village can't be killed, and the slimes outside the village are only for leveling, and have no other use," Kevin combed through the settings and continued to ask, "Then I always have a home, right?

NPC was stunned: "Well, it's nothing, just some tables, chairs and benches." ”

"Tables, chairs and benches are fine," Kevin thought actively, "Sell all the tables, chairs and benches, so you can go to the weapons store and buy weapons?"

NPC was in a hurry: "These are old things, and they are worthless." ”

"What about the house? I sold it. Kevin asked.

"The village house is not worth much, and no one wants to sell it. NPC replied.

"Then I'm the grandson of the village chief, what policy can I give him? "Kevin's thinking is extremely out-of-the-box.

"Big brother!" the NPC collapsed, "You go out to fight monsters and level up! The monsters will burst gold, and you only need to kill the monsters, and you will have money to buy weapons." ”

"The mob actually bursts gold?" Kevin was surprised, "What kind of setting is this?"

"You don't care about this, that's how it's set. NPC replied.

"That's right," Kevin thought for a moment, and then had a solution, "Can I take credit then? ”

"Small business, can't be credited. NPC replied.

"No, that's what I mean," Kevin replied, "I'll take a sword on credit, and then I'll go out of the village to fight monsters." Wouldn't it be more efficient for me to fight monsters in this way? Wouldn't it be better to make up for you with the money that exploded in the future?"

The NPC was silent for a moment, and for a while it failed to find a basis for rebuttal.

"Could it be that the grandson of my dignified village chief, the future brave man will still owe money and run away with a sword?" Kevin retorted with righteous words.

NPC thought for a long time, but still shook his head: "No, there has never been such a rule, you can't come like this." ”

Kevin couldn't help but complain: "Wow, will this blacksmith shop do business after all?" Take a step back and say, even if I can run, the village chief definitely can't run." Why don't you just ask him for something?"

NPC couldn't help but glance up at him, could it be that he had this intention in the first place?

The light elf Leyson on the side had been seeing it now, and finally interjected at this time: "It's understandable that the blacksmith shop can't pay on credit, after all, it's dangerous to go out to fight monsters." If you die outside, the sword will naturally not be able to be recovered. So it makes sense that you have to pay the bill first and then take the sword. ”

As soon as these words came out, NPC hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, that's the truth." No credit is allowed. ”

Kevin nodded, it seemed to make sense to say this, but he still said: "Okay, your blacksmith shop has offended me today, and I will see that I am a brave man in the future, how to rectify you when I turn around." ”

npc：“......”

Kevin finally took the broken wooden stick in the village and went out to level up, Kevin put his little wooden man on the map outside the village, and the NPC immediately drew two cards, a slime and a mad dog. Kevin attacks Mad Dog, the result of throwing a sieve shows miss, Mad Dog and Slime counterattack, and as a result of throwing a sieve, Kevin is deducted half of his HP.

Kevin chose to run away and threw a sieve, Kevin failed to escape, and Kevin deducted a large amount of blood. Then choose to escape, throw a sieve, and the escape is successful. This novice brave man survived by luck.

"Wow, that's too hard, isn't it?" Kevin couldn't help but grumble, "Did you deliberately trick me?"

"I'm absolutely impartial when I'm an NPC, and I won't deliberately trick anyone. If you think I have a problem, you can report me. The NPC looked serious.

"Is there any special trick?" Kevin couldn't help but close his eyes and think seriously.

NPCs couldn't help but feel nervous, feeling like something terrible was going to come to them.

Sure enough, after a while, Kevin opened his eyes and smiled confidently: "I can go home and split all the tables, chairs and benches, and then make a mechanism!"

"You, you don't have that skill. "NPCs can't help it.

"It doesn't take any skill," Kevin replied, "and the mad dog's attack is basically just biting." I just need to tie wood chips in key areas and wrap them in thick clothing, and if it doesn't bite me, I won't be a threat, at least it can be greatly reduced. As for slimes, the acid attack basically only needs to protect the eyes. ”

"Don't tell me that the brave are so incompetent that they can't even remove the tables, chairs and benches, in fact, there are tables, chairs and benches, and they may be very versatile. It's okay to dismantle it to make a shield, it's okay to make a front breastplate, and the defense is a little lower, but it's definitely better than nothing. No matter how rough the craftsmanship is, it's ugly in appearance, as long as it can be used," Kevin's brain opened, and he couldn't help but be excited again, "Don't you know that the game also uses technology to play?"

NPC took a deep breath: "I'm really scared of you. Well, I'm going to tell you a little bit about the mechanics of our game. ”

"First of all, you are not the only one who plays this game, there are many other players," the NPC explained seriously, "There are also many NPCs like me, and all the player characters have saves, and players can interact with each other to create a scene that is as fair as possible." This requires that all NPCs be required to act in the first place. ”

"Players will come up with a lot of magical brains, but we NPCs still have to follow the rules. If they all follow the player's brain, then the standard will be different, or even lose the standard. Eventually, it becomes a ...... Single-player. The NPC said for a long time.

Kevin was surprised: "It turns out that I still play online games. Can you cut the single-player mode and let me see the follow-up plot?"

"No!" the NPC flatly refused.

Leyson on the side suddenly popped up: "Can you fight on your behalf?"

"Yes. NPC replied.

Leyson suddenly became interested and said to Kevin: "Then I'll come to level up, you go and walk around, and come back later." ”

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Kevin immediately nodded in agreement, stretched himself, and walked downstairs slowly.

At this time, it was already late at night, but it was still very noisy near the Internet store. All kinds of barbecue snacks on the street, three or five people at a table, eat while grilling, talk and laugh. The aroma of barbecue filled the street, making Kevin a little hungry.

I bought a few bunches and strolled around while eating. There was some kind of lottery on the side of the road, and a group of people surrounded them, shouting what kind of wife they were going to draw. Kevin couldn't squeeze in, so he didn't look closely.

After wandering around for more than half an hour, Kevin finished eating what he had in his hand and bought two more skewers, ready to bring them to Leyson. When I returned to the second floor of the online pavilion, I heard the voice of the NPC: "Hand over all the property in your village, or you will kill the whole village." ”

Kevin was curious and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "What's wrong?"

Leyson smiled: "I saw that you never came back, so I pushed the main plot down." There are currently robbers besieging the village. ”

When the NPC saw Kevin coming, he couldn't help but be nervous, but he still introduced the plot: "Now the robbers give you two choices, hand over the property." Either resist to the end!"

"What possessions do I have?" replied Kevin, "the house is worthless, and neither are the tables, chairs, and benches." If they want to take it, it's not worth the desperate effort. It's best to go back and report the case to the people in the city, and send troops over to suppress it. ”

The NPC could only reply, "Do you mean to hand over your property?" but the robber doesn't necessarily keep his word, maybe he wants your property and continues to slaughter the village. ”

Kevin looked up and asked, "How many of us are there?"

"You're the only one. NPC replied.

"How many robbers are there?" asked Kevin again.

"30 pcs. NPC replied.

"Can I put the robbers in the village and fight in the streets? Are there any traps in the village that can be used? If I set fire to my village, will the robbers be afraid? Can I join the robbers and rob our village together?" Kevin asked continuously.

npc：“......”

"Ahem, according to the plot setting, the robbers surrounded the village at this time. He wants you to choose between fighting or handing over your possessions. But in reality, handing over property does not guarantee survival. The NPC had to answer again.

"Is that the plot forcing me to fight?" Kevin understood it, "Then let's fight." ”

"You've got five minutes to get your gear and your condition to the best position. "NPC prompt.

"I'm not badly equipped. Kevin took a closer look at the wooden figure, which was now covered with a lot of clothes, and it looked like a brave sail.

Leyson replied: "I practiced for a long time, and I bought armor first, but I still can't afford that sword. ”

"All right, smith, give me the sword. Kevin was not polite and reached out directly.

"No, you don't have enough money. ”

"The robber soldiers are coming to the city, and you still have to ask me for money?" Kevin couldn't help but complain again, "In this case, you, as the owner of the weapon shop, should obediently and automatically send the best weapons, if the brave wins, the whole village can be saved." If you're strong enough, you'll be able to do it yourself!"

"Are you an undercover robber!" Kevin's eyes flashed, "Look at me first, kill you undercover!"

npc：“......”

This game was played all night. Kevin almost spat on an all-nighter, and NPC explained an all-nighter. And no matter how he interprets it, Kevin always seems to find something plausible, yet unreasonable. This is probably the most exhausting part of an NPC's career.

Early in the morning, Kevin finally didn't plan to play anymore and chose to quit the game, relieved and almost spread out in his chair. Kevin, on the contrary, was in high spirits, and was still in good spirits when he walked out of the online hall.

"What's the matter with you?" Leyson was clearly aware that Kevin was deliberately finding fault in some places.

Kevin laughed: "This game is very fun, and you can play it in school if you have the opportunity." ”
