Chapter 165: NPC Guards! (3-in-1)

After Chen Lun put on the [Star Veil], he found that he could edit the ID title displayed in the eyes of players, so he casually hung up the "Black Messenger".

At the same time, he knew it in his heart.

This kind of trickery that can change its face and hide its identity can temporarily achieve the effect of replacing IDs...... That's right, if you can't change the ID, then as long as the player probes a little, your true identity will be easily exposed. ’

But he didn't want to hide his identity by hanging up the "Black Emissary", after all, outsiders may not know who the Black Emissary is, but players will definitely know.

It's just that he's deliberately adding to the mystery.

In the original battle of the square, Su Keying had videos and videos, as long as he was a little careful, players could dig out the "Black Messenger", which was "Jakespet".

What he wants is to leave such a space for players to dig deeper, make them think they are smart, and give them a little surprise.

"Warriors of the Outlands ......"

He stepped up to the crowd and spoke in a deep, hoarse voice.

There are more and more players in the back, and they are crowding towards this side. Visually there are more than 100 people, and the number is constantly increasing.

"This land is suffering, the plague is beginning to spread, the sick are in madness, and you are in dire need of a hand of justice to heal the wounds here......"

He spoke.

Because of the concealment of the [Star Veil], the face showed a distorted hazy black fog, making the players unaware of it.

He didn't use this trick to solidify his face, but what he did was also to increase the sense of mystery and compulsion.

"But alas, you're still very weak...... I think I can give you a little help......"

Chen Lun finished speaking.

The players looked over his head, and suddenly a golden, shiny, dazzling exclamation mark popped up!

and two optional dialogs –

[Redeem] and [Mission]!

Some players couldn't wait to step forward and tried to click on [Exchange].

Wow.

A virtual dialog box that looks like a store page pops up.

It's full of items that can be redeemed, and if you pay attention to it, you'll be presented with detailed information and the price you need to redeem.

The player's eyes widened as he looked at the item on it, and couldn't help but shout the word "".

Chen Lun smiled secretly when he saw this.

The merchandise exchange catalogue he released was similar to the "Book of Shops" in Floy's hand, just the "basics" sold by the circus.

But these are already enough to satisfy these new players in front of them, and even shock them for a whole summer, after all, the content is really a bit ahead of its time......

More and more people clicked on the [exchange] page and saw the products on it, showing surprise, eagerness and entanglement.

Sugar cubes, three different colored potions, a trick with a glittering name, and a pair of fire-breathing mechanical gloves......

Of course, what attracted them the most was the strangely shaped musket at the top of the ranking.

There is no other reason than because it is the cheapest, the most realistic, and the most likely to be pocketed.

It only takes 20 Silver Lords to take home this flintlock pistol called [Fury].

According to its description, it can be seen that this is a "troll", with huge lethality within ten meters, and it is definitely a wasteland artifact in the early stage of the game!

Chen Lun's price is already very conscientious, after all, the price he took to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce was 70 silver jue.

Considering the current economic level of this group of budding newcomers, the purchasing power must not be very good, lest it be too expensive for them to afford it......

'I'm still too soft-hearted to see players suffer......

Chen Lun thought so.

So in order not to lose too hard, he decided to increase the price of ammunition several times.

How can an arms dealer make a fortune by selling guns......

Players are born penniless, but they are able to make it to Emerald Town to prove that they have swiped some money in the Newbie Village on the outskirts.

Just wanting to buy [Fury] is probably not enough.

"All eyes are on me! Look at me, look at me...... I'm announcing something! ”

Suddenly, a man's shout rang out from the crowd.

Everyone cast their eyes on the source of the sound.

It turned out that the caller was none other than the previous member of the Divine Love Guild who was in the limelight, Rotten Persimmon. He raised his hands high, looked excited and solemn, swept twice towards the crowd, and continued to speak:

"I'm ...... Rotten persimmon, now on behalf of the God Love Guild, is open to everyone to 'collect gold'! The proportion is according to the market price, 1 credit point for 1 copper crowe, the amount is preferred, and the reputation is guaranteed! ”

When everyone heard his words, most of them were moved.

After all, at this stage, everyone doesn't have a lot of money, and they can't afford to buy anything, and they don't have anything to buy urgently...... Now that there is a chance, it can be exchanged for real money, so it is better to be pragmatic.

Well, the ribs are so delicious!

Soon, Rotten Persimmon received a dozen or twenty people's trade applications, and he hurriedly contacted the guild leader on the guild channel to apply for reimbursement while trading with these people.

It didn't take long for Rotten Persimmon to receive enough money and then come to Chen Lun.

He didn't hesitate, and directly on the shop page, he chose the [Fury] horn gun, and also bought some ammo and anti-epidemic candy bars.

Others have little interest in the anti-epidemic candy bar, but players with ideals and pursuits like Rotten Persimmon don't want to easily hand over the weekly limited resurrection opportunity.

So it's still necessary to spend some money to maintain the health of the characters.

When everyone saw the horn musket in the hand of the rotten persimmon, their eyes suddenly became hot.

There were also members of other guilds in the crowd, although they were not the top guilds like the three major guilds, but it was not a problem to raise funds to buy a "wasteland artifact".

After a while, a few more players scraped together enough money and bought muskets from Chen Lun.

They looked delighted, and then they each began to recruit people on the spot, ready to team up to farm monsters.

Someone clicked on the [Task] dialog box above Chen Lun's head and found that most of the tasks in it were related to the "epidemic block" next to it. Either hunt a certain number of "plague maniacs", or collect some specific materials or supplies inside.

It is as if the mysterious merchant named "Black Emissary" in front of him is a guide NPC waiting here to serve the map of "Blight Block".

The players excitedly gathered in front of Chen Lun, came and walked in batches, and then marched towards the epidemic block on the side.

And so on and so on, so it's not lively.

The soldiers who were watching from afar were extremely surprised when they saw this phenomenon.

They didn't know who the gentleman in the black top hat was. But judging from the fact that he can "inspire" people so much, he must be a big man with a good personality...... No matter how bad it is, he is also an excellent orator.

Otherwise, it can't be explained why those recruits who were originally going to flee will return to the "battlefield". Even changed his previous cringe-in attitude, and became extremely excited, like a chicken blood, eager to fight those epidemic maniacs for 300 rounds.

Boom!!

A loud gunshot.

Everyone looked up, only to see the rotten persimmon raise the horn gun and take the lead in pulling the trigger on the plague who rushed out of the fence before.

The latter had no power to fight back, and was hit by a troll several meters away, bleeding all over his body, flying upside down and falling, struggling on the ground and unable to get up.

Even though the madman still laughed maniacally, the crowd was no longer afraid.

Fear, just from a lack of firepower!

Boom!!

Another shot killed the patient who fell to the ground, and there was no movement.

The rotten persimmon was loaded with ammunition and showed a big smile.

He formed a few casual players and began to sweep the surrounding "fish that slipped through the net". Looking at the kill prompts that pop up, I only feel my blood boiling.

"Value! It's worth it! This musket is very powerful, quacking and killing, and the upgrade is fast! ”

The rotten persimmon blushed and was excited.

The scattered players who teamed up with him called Liuliuliu in a row, and they did almost nothing, and the rotten persimmon had already slaughtered the monster, so they also got a lot of experience points.

Where can you find such a pleasant thing?

In order not to be kicked out of the team, they enthusiastically touted the rotten persimmons, and all kinds of sycophants took turns to make the rotten persimmons enjoy it very much.

*

*

*

Soon it was the next day.

Players spent a day brushing in the "Blight Block", led by those gun-wielding "bigwigs", and the upgrade was quite fast.

Rotten Persimmon has already reached level eight, and he plans to rush to level ten today, and then leave Emerald Town and head to Amber City...... According to the guild's beta big brother, Kotou Gold and Forgotten Mowgli, that is the metropolis and the place with a bright future.

The old nest is in a small place like Emerald Town, and it is useless.

Today, he didn't organize any more scattered players, because the brothers from his guild had already arrived. There are four of them in total, and with the persimmon himself, it is five.

There is an instruction from the president, and the rotten persimmon serves as a temporary captain. Coupled with the fact that he is currently the best mixed and has the highest level, others have no opinion.

Rotten Persimmon takes four god-loved teammates and runs rampant in the infested neighborhood. As long as they don't provoke too many epidemic maniacs at once, they are basically not in danger.

Boom!

Rotten Persimmon raised his gun and shot an old woman with a cheese cutter into the air, then smiled and pressed the upgrade button.

[Your sub-class level increases!] Currently [Church Guard LV10 (MAX)]! You feel your body strengthened! 】

"That's right, the mission is complete, let's go."

Rotten Persimmon put away the gun and said to his companion.

The others nodded, and the group slowly left where they were.

The streets of the epidemic neighborhood are desolate and desolate, littered with garbage, and faint laughter and nursery rhymes humming, coming from an unknown building, are very eerie.

Rotten Persimmon left the plagued block with his companions and returned to the corner of the street on the west side of the town.

The figure in the black top hat was still standing by the wall.

Many new players have gathered there, including many old players from yesterday, who have scraped together enough money to shop, or are picking up quests, or are completing quests to claim rewards.

Dozens of meters apart, the rotten persimmon suddenly stopped.

The four companions of the Divine Love Guild looked puzzled.

"Captain Rotten, what's wrong?"

Someone asked.

"I have a plan, I don't know if you're willing to gamble with me."

A hint of madness flashed in the persimmon's eyes.

"I asked the Big Brother in the Closed Beta, Kotou Gold and Oblivion, and they told me that low-rank transcendents are also afraid of muskets...... They can be killed by muskets! ”

He lifted the [Rage] in his hand and stroked it gently.

The others looked at him, as if they had thought of something, and looked surprised.

"Are you going to ......?"

"That's right!"

Rotten Persimmon turned his head and his eyes fell on the figure of the gentleman in the black top hat surrounded by the group of players.

"The mysterious merchant called the 'Black Emissary' is supposed to be a transcendent...... But this is a novice village after all, and his strength will not be too outrageous, maybe he can kill him and then snatch what is on him. ”

The more rotten persimmons talked, the more excited they became.

"Even if you fail, it's nothing, at most, it's hanging and dropping one level, and the loss is not very big...... Anyway, we'll leave here tomorrow and head to Amber City, so we might as well take one last gamble before leaving! ”

He looked at the other companions and said bewildermently:

"If that happens, the mysterious merchant will most likely drop items...... Potions, muskets, and even more powerful but too expensive 'tricks' to afford! It's all ours! ”

As he spoke, Rotten Persimmon clenched his fists.

"Perhaps, he still has extraordinary knowledge in him!"

When the four companions heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then their breathing quickened.

"Bet! Anyway, I'm only level six now, so if I drop it, I'll be able to rise back soon...... Rotten persimmon boss, how to do it? ”

One of them gritted his teeth.

The rotten persimmon smiled and whispered to them:

"That's ...... Bab Bib ......"

While the five of them were whispering, the man in the black top hat suddenly glanced at them on the street corner in the distance.

Beneath that distorted black fog was an invisible smile.

Chen Lun retracted his gaze and continued to seriously play the role of the current "NPC Mentor", which can also be said to be the role of the "Mysterious Merchant of the Novice Village".

He didn't come to Emerald Town after traveling so far to make money...... These budding players in front of them are very poor, how can there be any oil and water to squeeze.

His purpose is threefold.

The first is the mechanism of in-depth testing of your own NPC templates, including the ability to sell items, post quests, and teach skills. It's just that "imparting skills" is not realistic at the moment, so it can only be postponed.

But the function of selling items and posting tasks has been figured out by him, and it is worth the trip.

The second is to come over and brush a wave of "black messenger" in front of the players, and he intends to plant a seed in the hearts of these players...... About the seeds of the "Black Messenger", and then wait for it to detonate at some point in the future.

In addition, it can be regarded as a visit to the "grassroots" by the way, so as to prepare follow-up customized services for players.

The third is to give new players a guide, Mr. Jack, who calls himself the "guide of fate", must implement this character.

"Warriors of the Outland, if you feel that you have been trained and the time is ripe, then consider heading to the nearest metropolis, Amber City. It is where your destiny will be, and it will be the stage for your future. ”

Chen Lun lowered the brim of his hat and said in a mysterious and epic tone.

After hearing this, the players looked at each other.

Some players in the crowd have already recorded his image and speaking posture and posted it on the built-in forum, titled "The mysterious merchant of Emerald Town is really compelling!" Is this what your beginner facilitator is like? ”

Because Chen Lun is wearing the [Star Veil] on his face, no player has recognized him yet, at most, he just thinks that he is very similar to "Jack", but he can't show substantial evidence to prove that the two are the same person.

Then.

Rotten Persimmon took the four teammates of God's love and squeezed through the crowd.

"Let's give up, we're here to hand in the task."

Seeing this, the other players get out of the way.

Rotten Persimmon and his teammates went straight to Chen Lun, and he quietly submitted the task.

I saw the man in the black top hat in front of him, turned his head to look at him, nodded slightly, as if he was very pleased.

"Mr. Persimon, you are an excellent warrior, and these are the rewards given to you...... I hope you can grow up quickly and I am looking forward to your future performance. ”

Chen Lun shook his hand, handed two boxes of ammunition and a pack of anti-epidemic candy cubes to his hand, experience points and monetary rewards have been distributed by the panel for him, and it has also saved him a lot of trouble.

Rotten persimmon accepted the task reward, saw the pop-up task completion prompt box, and nodded.

He gave instructions in the chat room:

"-Do it!"

Several teammates had already unknowingly surrounded the "black messenger" in front of them. Seeing the order from the rotten persimmon, they struck out together, raised the rusty kitchen knife and sickle in their hands, and slashed at its head.

Rotten persimmon also took the opportunity to raise the muzzle of the gun, ready to aim at the "black messenger" and pull the trigger.

Rumble!!

The players gathered here were stunned.

They had no idea that these people, whom God loved, would dare to make a move against the "guide" and "mysterious merchant"!

Too bold, right?!

After a loud bang.

Everyone only felt like thunder in their ears, a wave of heat rushed to their faces, and a raging fire ignited in front of their eyes.

The four players who had surrounded the "Black Emissary" and attacked him had disappeared without a trace, and most of them were directly burned to death by the flames.

Rotten Persimmon burned his equipment and fell to the ground in tatters, his eyes widening.

The "Black Messenger" couldn't help but be unscathed, and he squatted down with ease and snapped his fingers in front of the rotten persimmon.

Syllable!

"Blasphemy against the messenger of the 'god of the foreign land', Mr. Rotten Persimmon, you will regret it......"

The rotten persimmon's head slammed, and flames rose like a torch.

He fell to the ground and twitched twice, turning into a white light that dissipated.

At the last second, the rotten persimmon received a prompt box -

[The "Black Messenger" has a reduced favorability towards you! Currently disgusted! 】

The players present exclaimed.

They were shocked by the sudden surprise.

The five players of God's love didn't know what to do with their madness, and when they were handing over the task, they suddenly shot at the "Black Messenger", but they were killed on the spot.

And that's not all!

Everyone saw that behind the "Black Messenger", a pair of black wings were spread, and he then rose into the sky.

"Oh! It's so handsome! ”

"Wow!!"

"Let's go! Catch up and have a look! ”

A large group of players followed the direction of Chen Lun's flying away, and soon they came to the center of Emerald Town, and were stunned to find that they had reached the resurrection point.

Shortly after the resurrection, the four companions of the rotten persimmon and the love of God were standing next to the intersection and chatting.

Suddenly, a few illusory black feathers fell from the sky, and when they looked up, they saw a black shadow falling.

Rumble!!

There was a loud bang.

Rotten persimmon, along with four teammates, was directly stepped into meat sauce by Chen Lun, and once again turned into white light and dispersed.

The players who chased after them stopped one after another, showing surprised expressions.

"! I was chased to the resurrection point by NPCs! ”

"It's terrible! It's better to get off the line quickly to avoid the limelight! ”

"This game is so scary, NPCs even know about corpses!"

Rotten Persimmon emerged from the crosspost next to him with a confused face, and his teammates also appeared one after another.

They turned their heads to see the man in the black top hat standing quietly beside him.

The face of the black fog is invisible, but it gives people an extremely terrifying feeling.

"Get offline!!"

Rotten Persimmon shouted.

But it's too late.

Rumble!!

A flaming decapitation knife slashed horizontally, and the five of them stood in place with his teammates, the area above the neck turned into black charcoal, and the wind blew and turned into powder and dissipated.

Once again, they became white light.

More and more players are discovering that the "Black Emissary" who was supposed to stay on the west corner of the town is gone. After a little inquiry, he learned that a player had attacked him and was being hunted down, so they all rushed to this side curiously.

In full view.

Rotten Persimmon and his four companions were resurrected for the last time, their scalps tingling and they stood in place as if struck by lightning.

The haunting figure of the black top hat stood in front of them.

"Mr. 'Black Messenger'! We know it's wrong! Please forgive us!! ”

Rotten persimmon shouted.

He found that he was in a state of battle at this time and could not go offline at all, but he was reluctant to use up the number of resurrections like this, so he chose to beg for mercy.

In response to him, the "Black Messenger" chuckled.

"Mr. Persimmon, you should learn to take responsibility, not bow your head."

Rumble!!

Once again, the flames overwhelmed them.

With a burst of screaming, they completely disappeared in place.

The resurrection has entered the cooldown, and there is no way to go online again today.

Corresponding to the game, it is necessary to wait until five days before it can continue to be online.

‘…… I'll arrange for a few birds to watch here, and in five days, if they dare to come up, they will shark you. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

Those who dare to challenge his majesty must be punished, otherwise this group of players will not take him seriously.

*

*

*

Rotten persimmon wanted to cry without tears and contacted the president of God's love offline, the boss of the "world".

He told everything that happened to him in Emerald Town.

Now that I can't go online, I'm already anxious, so I have no choice but to turn to the guild for help.

The "world" was silent, and finally said:

"Rotten persimmon, you kid is really a genius!"

In addition, the four members of the Divine Love Guild who were with him cried and complained to the "world", which annoyed the president as well.

In the end, there was no way, and the "world" called Kotou Jin and Forgotten Mowgli, who had participated in the internal test, and asked for their opinions.

After listening to the narration of rotten persimmons.

Doghead Gold and Oblivion Mowgli fell silent one after another.

Half a day.

They inquired about the appearance of the "Black Emissary" and his ability to strike. Immediately after, they heard that someone had posted a video on the forum, so they went up and took a look.

At last.

They only gave one answer:

"Avoid the limelight these days, and when he leaves, hurry up and leave Emerald Town, don't play in this area."
