Chapter 2: How this player looks like an NPC
"Wait, something doesn't seem right."
When President Langton walked for a long time, Chen Zhou, who had reviewed the whole process, suddenly reacted.
In return for the task, the other party gave him a property on a cliff near the coast.
Near the sea, with a wide field of vision, you can see the dynamics of the coast at a glance, and because of the near lighthouse, you may be the first to be attacked and infiltrated by hostile forces.
Is this a gift for yourself a suite?
This is to send yourself to the lighthouse as a guard!
When I first started co-authoring this old silver coin, I didn't plan to give it to him except for the staff quarters?
"Is that so?"
"I'm not sure."
Chen Zhou scratched his head and was puzzled, in short, don't speculate on others with malice like this.
Maybe it's just a benefit for the Tier 2 caster, so they don't get into trouble.
Whether it is or not, the matter of the Black Sails Pirates is more important at the moment.
At the beginning, he was also one of the crew members of the Obsidian, and if the other party looked for revenge and revenge against him regardless of it, it would inevitably affect his life and mood.
So he decided to take the initiative to investigate the information of the Black Sail Pirates, so as not to be ignorant when needed.
Thinking so, Chen Zhou randomly selected a lucky player from the door and called him into the room.
"Hello, I'm the river demon of Pagoda Town, do you have any tasks to give me?"
The middle-aged man in the brocade hat asked politely, but his tone was slightly stiff.
It's only been a day since I came to this world, and many players who haven't checked the strategy are not particularly good at communicating with NPCs.
In their opinion, this straightforward way of speaking is the best way to prevent the AI from misleading their purpose.
"Your tone is a little too stiff." Chen Zhou, who was lying on the back of the chair, commented on the other party's acting skills, "If it was more natural, it would be better to be like a human." ”
How can this player talk like an AI, you have to get into the play.
The Pagoda Town River Demon smiled a little awkwardly, he also felt that the way he spoke just now was not quite like a normal human.
"Hey, I'm not used to it."
The River Demon of Pagoda Town was about to use the Star Folk as an excuse that they were unfamiliar with the lingua franca, but suddenly realized a blind spot.
NPCs call their players "Star People", what exactly does this "Star People" mean, and what does it represent?
It is the meaning of eternal immortality and high above the earth.
Of course, in the official statement, the people of the stars represent those who come up from the stars, that is, visitors from outside the sky.
Chen Zhou didn't bother to explain this: "I'm sorry, I'm just a warlock, and I don't know much about this." ”
"I came to you mainly because I wanted to ask you for help."
Hearing this, the river demon of Pagoda Town suddenly felt happy in his heart, and the opportunity to brush up his good feelings with experience came!
"If there is anything you can do, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the sea of fire, I promise to do my best to do it!"
"It's not that dangerous."
While complaining in his heart that the player finally looked like a human, Chen Zhou narrated a part of his previous experience.
"When I first came to Flower Harbor on the Obsidian from Tundra Harbor, I encountered a group of pirates from the Black Sail Pirates on the way.
"Although it was easy to deal with them, I heard that this group of pirates has been going crazy lately to investigate the information of the crew of the Obsidian on the spot."
Being targeted by a horde of vicious pirates is unsettling, and it's best to keep them out of your own life.
Before the other party could finish speaking, the river demon of Pagoda Town suddenly said: "I understand, I promise to destroy this group of pirates for you!" ”
No, it's not an annihilation mission!
"I mean, in order to grasp the dynamics of pirates, first I need to collect information about them."
The river demon of Pagoda Town was puzzled: "Isn't it easier to raise them directly, or are you going to take action personally, boss?" ”
Speaking of which, there are indeed many copies of the game that will have NPCs to follow the player to push the map.
But at that time, the big guy who calls for wind and rain in the plot will become a fragile mess and a burden that needs to be protected by players.
"Don't underestimate those pirates, even the navies of various countries will suffer at their hands." Chen Zhou shook his head and explained, "You are not the opponent of the Black Sail Pirates, let's explore the area in front later." ”
The river demon of Pagoda Town understands, this is a large group book!
"Looking at his expression, he definitely misunderstood something."
Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, Chen Zhou thought, it is also a good thing that the players really poured out of the nest and raised the pirates.
As for whether they will turn around and be pirates?
It can only be said that this profession sounds a bit forced, but it is actually quite hard, but no normal person who has a way to go will do this thing.
Players can't stand being at sea for a week, they're here to play games, not to go to jail.
Seeing that the other party intended to take on this task, Chen Zhou gave two hints.
One is Darra, a dwarf who used to work in the Eight Kings Caravan and worked as an adventurer and mercenary in the guild for a while during the maintenance of the Obsidian.
The second is the shipyard where the Obsidian stayed during its extensive renovation.
If he were one of the pirates investigating an important item, he would have started with both of these aspects first.
The reverse is also true, most of them can get information about pirates.
After the river demon in Pagoda Town correctly understood the meaning of the other party, an orange side quest also popped up in the panel: Black Sail Dynamics.
Earn 4,000 XP in one fell swoop and share them with up to 4 people.
That's the amount of experience they can go straight from level 2 to level 3!
The moment he saw the task, the river demon of Pagoda Town was overjoyed on the spot, and he forgot to ask about the reward and was about to turn around and leave.
Then, as he was leaving, he suddenly remembered a trivial matter: "By the way, boss, do you recognize a one-armed knight named Rand Gajilan?" ”
"I haven't heard of ......"
"It's the drunkard knight who was cut off by you two days ago!"
originally thought it was just a small episode, but Chen Zhou almost forgot about the drunkard.
"Oh, I remember, there is indeed such a person, why did you suddenly mention him?"
The river demon of Pagoda Town sold the other party without thinking: "He claimed in the tavern that you cut off his arm and snatched his family heirloom sword, and begged someone to avenge him and regain the sword." ”
Hearing this, Chen Zhou sighed unconsciously, it was obviously the drunkard who broke into his house, and after sobering up, he came over to apologize and apologized that he was not a person with a small belly.
"It's true, but it's a little different from what he said."
Feeling helpless, he informed the other party of the whole incident, and then sent another task: "If you can help me deal with this matter, I will give you Rand's sword." ”
As he spoke, he sent another one-time task with an experience value of up to 5,000 that could be shared with 4 people.
Looking at the experience reward on the quest bar, and recalling the level of the Daytime Knight Rand (10), the river demon of Pagoda Town almost gritted his teeth and took on this task.
Done!
The first order is almost 600, which is a bit beyond my expectations.
Later, I'll try to slowly add five chapters today.
