Chapter 166： NPC guards the corpse! (triple)

Chapter 166 The NPC is guarding the corpse! (triple)

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

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

'This kind of weird thing that can change its appearance and conceal its identity can temporarily achieve the effect of replacing the ID... Also, if the ID cannot be changed, then as long as the player detects it for a while, the real identity will be easily exposed. '

But he did not hang up the "Black Messenger" to conceal his identity. After all, outsiders may not know who the Black Messenger is, but the players will definitely know.

This is just that he deliberately increased the sense of mystery.

Su Keying had videotapes and videos of the battle in the square back then. As long as players were a little careful, players could dig out the "Black Messenger" under the vest, which was "Jack Speight".

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

"Warriors from a foreign land..."

He came in front of a group of players and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.

There are more and more players behind, crowding towards this side. According to visual estimates, there have been more than a hundred people, and the number is still increasing.

"This land is suffering, the plague is spreading, and the sick are falling into madness. You urgently need your hand of justice to heal the pain here..."

He spoke.

Because of the cover of the [Star Veil], the face presents a distorted hazy black mist, which makes the players unclear.

He didn't use this monster to solidify his appearance, what he did was also to increase the sense of mystery and force.

"But unfortunately, you are still very weak... I think I can give you a little help..."

Chen Lun finished speaking.

The players all looked at the top of his head, and there suddenly appeared a golden, glittering, dazzling exclamation mark!

and two optional dialogs—

[Exchange] and [Task]!

A player couldn't wait to step forward and tried to click [Exchange].

Swish.

A virtual dialog box similar to a store page popped up.

It is full of items that can be exchanged. As long as you focus on it, detailed information and the price required for exchange will be displayed.

The player stared wide-eyed, looked at the items on it, and couldn't help shouting the word "fuck".

Chen Lun smiled secretly when he saw this.

The product exchange catalog he released is similar to the "Shop Book" in Floyd's hand, and it is just the "basic model" sold by the circus.

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

More and more people clicked on the [Exchange] page, and when they saw the products on it, they showed expressions of surprise, longing and entanglement.

Anti-epidemic candies, potions of three different colors, tricks with gleaming names, and that pair of mechanical gloves that can breathe fire, etc...

Of course, what attracted them the most was the oddly shaped musket at the top of the list.

There is no other reason, just because it is the cheapest, the most real, and the most likely to be included in the bag.

Only need 20 silver nobility to take home this flintlock gun named 【Rage】.

According to its description, it can be seen that this is a "sprayer", which has a huge lethality within ten meters. It is definitely an artifact for opening up wasteland in the early stage of the game!

The price Chen Lun set was very conscientious. After all, the price he took to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce was 70 silver nobility.

Considering the current economic level of this group of cute newcomers, the purchasing power must not be good enough, lest they are too expensive and they can’t afford it...

‘I’m still too soft-hearted, I don’t want to see players suffer...’

Chen Lun thought so.

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

How can an arms dealer get rich by selling guns...

The players were born penniless, but they were able to come to Emerald Town, which proved that they had spent some money in the Novice Village on the outskirts.

Just want to buy [Rage], it probably isn't enough.

"All eyes are on me! Look at me...I have something to announce!"

Suddenly a man shouted from the crowd.

Everyone cast their eyes on the source of the sound.

It turned out that the speaker was the previously prominent member of the God Love Guild, Rotten Persimmon. He raised his hands high, with an excited and solemn expression, swept around the crowd twice, and continued:

"I am... Rotten Persimmon, and now, on behalf of the God Love Guild, I'm open to everyone to 'receive money'! The ratio is based on the market price, 1 credit point is exchanged for 1 copper kro, the large quantity is favorable, 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. They can’t afford anything, and they don’t have anything urgently needed to buy... Now that there is an opportunity, they can be exchanged for real money. It’s better to be more pragmatic.

Well, the pork ribs are delicious!

Soon, Rotten Persimmon received trading applications from a dozen or twenty people. He hurriedly contacted the president on the guild channel to apply for reimbursement, while trading with these people.

Not long after, Rotten Shi received enough money and came to Chen Lun.

Without hesitation, he directly chose the [Rage] trumpet gun on the store page, and also bought some ammunition and anti-epidemic candies.

Others are not interested in anti-epidemic candies, but players with ideals and pursuits like Rotten Persimmon don't want to hand over the weekly limited resurrection opportunities easily.

So it is necessary to spend some money to maintain the health of the character.

When everyone saw the trumpet and musket in Rotten Shi's hand, their eyes turned hot.

There are also members of other guilds in the crowd. Although they are not the top guilds of the three major guilds, it is not a problem to raise funds to buy a "land reclamation artifact".

After a while, a few more players collected enough money to buy muskets from Chen Lun.

They showed joy on their faces, and then each started to recruit people on the spot, preparing to form a team to kill monsters.

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

It seems that the mysterious businessman named "Black Messenger" in front of him is a guide NPC waiting here to serve the map of "Epidemic District".

The players gathered excitedly in front of Chen Lun, a batch came and went, and then they headed towards the plague block on the side.

This cycle goes on and on, so lively.

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

They don't know who the gentleman in the black bowler hat is. But judging from his ability to "inspire" people, he must be a big man with a charismatic personality... No matter how bad he is, he is also an excellent orator.

Otherwise, it cannot explain why those recruits who were about to flee would return to the "battlefield". He even changed his timid attitude before, and became extremely excited, as if he had been beaten to death, wishing to fight those disease lunatics for 300 rounds.

Boom!

A loud gunshot.

Everyone looked up and saw that Rotten Persimmon raised his trumpet gun and took the lead in pulling the trigger on the plague man who had rushed out of the fence.

The latter had no power to fight back, and was hit by the spray several meters away, bleeding holes appeared all over his body, he fell backwards, struggled on the ground and couldn't get up.

Even though the lunatic still kept laughing wildly, everyone no longer felt scared.

Fear, just stems from lack of firepower!

Boom!

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

Lan Persimmon loaded the ammunition and showed a bright smile.

He formed a few casual players and began to sweep the surrounding "fish that slipped through the net". Looking at the killing prompts that popped up, I just felt excited.

"It's worth it! It's so **** worth it! This musket is very powerful, it kills randomly, and it upgrades quickly!"

Rotten Persimmon flushed with excitement.

The casual players who teamed up with him kept shouting six six six, they hardly did anything, Rotten Persimmon had already killed the monsters, and they also got a lot of experience points for this.

Where can I find such a comfortable thing?

In order not to be kicked out of the team, they flattered Rotten Persimmon enthusiastically, and all kinds of flattery took turns, making Rotten Persimmon very enjoyable.

Soon came the next day.

The players spent a day in the "epidemic block", led by those "big guys" with guns, the upgrade is quite fast.

Rotten Persimmon has reached level eight, and he plans to rush to level ten today, then leave Emerald Town and go to Amber City... According to the guild internal beta tester Big Brother, Gou Tou Jin and Wang Wang Wuji, that is the metropolis and the future vast land.

It's useless to live in a small place like Emerald Town.

Today he didn't form any more casual players, because the brothers from his own guild had already arrived. There are four of them in total, plus Rotten Persimmon himself, that's five.

With the instructions of the president, Rotten Persimmon is the temporary captain. In addition, he is currently the best player and the highest level, so no one else has any opinions.

Lan Persimmon took four teammates whom God loves, rampant in the plague block. As long as they don't provoke too many plague lunatics at once, they are basically not in danger.

Boom!

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

【You's sub-professional level has increased! Currently [Church Guard LV10 (MAX)]! You feel your body strengthened! 】

"Exactly, the task is also completed, let's go."

Lan Persimmon put away his gun and said to his companion.

The others nodded, and then the group slowly left the place.

The streets in the Epidemic Block are desolate and desolate, garbage is everywhere, faint laughter and humming nursery rhymes come from no one knows which building, it is very gloomy.

Rotten Persimmon left the plague 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 gathered there, and many of them were old players from yesterday, who had collected enough money to go shopping, or were receiving missions, or were completing missions to receive rewards.

With a distance of tens of meters, Rotten Persimmon suddenly stopped.

The four companions of God's Love Guild showed doubts.

"Captain Rotten Persimmon, what's wrong?"

Someone asked.

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

A hint of madness flashed in Lan Shi's eyes.

"I asked the big brother of the internal test, Goutoujin and Forgotten Wuji, and they told me that low-sequence transcendents are also afraid of firearms... They can be killed by firearms!"

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

The others looked at him, as if thinking of something, with surprise on their faces.

"Are you going to...?"

"Exactly!"

Lan Shi 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 businessman named 'Black Messenger' should be an extraordinary person... But this is Novice Village after all, his strength is not too outrageous, maybe he can be killed, and then take away his things."

Rotten Persimmon became more and more excited as he talked.

"Even if you fail, it's nothing. At most, you'll just fail and drop a level. The loss is not too great... Anyway, we'll leave here tomorrow and head to Amber City. Why don't we take one last gamble before leaving!"

He looked at the other companions and bewitched:

"If it succeeds, the mysterious businessman will probably drop items...those potions, muskets, and more powerful but too expensive 'tricks'! They are all ours!"

Saying that, Rotten Persimmon clenched his fists.

"Maybe, he still has extraordinary knowledge!"

The four companions were startled when they heard this, and then their breathing quickened.

"I bet! Anyway, I'm only at level six now, so I'll drop it as soon as I drop it, and I'll get back up soon... Boss Rotten Persimmon, how do you do it?"

One of them gritted his teeth and said.

Lan Shi laughed and whispered to them:

"This way... jiliwala Baboob..."

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

Under the twisted black mist, there is an invisible smile.

Chen Lun withdrew 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 businessman in Xinshou Village".

He traveled so far and came to Emerald Town not to make money... These cute new players in front of him are very poor, so there is nothing to squeeze.

His purpose is threefold.

One is the mechanism of in-depth testing of your own NPC template, including the functions of selling items, issuing tasks, and imparting skills. It's just that "teaching skills" is not realistic yet, so it can only be postponed.

But he has figured out the functions of selling items and issuing missions, so it was a worthwhile trip.

The second is to come here to brush up the presence of the "Black Messenger" in front of the players. He intends to plant a seed in the hearts of these players... a seed about the "Black Messenger", and then wait for it to detonate at some point in the future.

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

The third is to give the new players a guide. Mr. Jack, who claims to be the "fate guide", must implement this personality setting.

"Warriors from other lands, if you feel that you have experienced the experience and the time is ripe, then you can consider going to the nearest metropolis—Amber City. This is where your destiny belongs, and it will also be your future stage."

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

The players looked at each other after hearing this.

Some players in the crowd have already recorded his image and speaking posture, and posted it to the built-in forum with the title "The mysterious businessman in Emerald Town is really impressive! Is your guide in the novice area like this?"

Because Chen Lun is wearing a [Star Veil], no player has recognized him yet. At most, they think he is very similar to "Jack", but there is no substantive evidence to prove that the two are the same person.

At this time.

Lanshi led the four teammates whom God loves, and pushed through the crowd.

"Give way, we are here to hand in the task."

Seeing this, other players stepped out of the way.

Lan Shi and his teammates came straight to Chen Lun, and he submitted the task calmly.

I saw the man in the black top hat in front of me, turned to look at him, and nodded slightly, as if very relieved.

"Mr. Rotten Persimmon, you are an outstanding warrior, these are the rewards given to you... I hope you can grow up quickly, and I look forward to your future performance."

With a flick of his hand, Chen Lun handed over two boxes of ammunition and a pack of anti-epidemic candies to his hands. The experience points and currency rewards had already been issued for him by the panel, which also saved him a lot of trouble.

Lan Persimmon accepted the task reward, saw the pop-up task completion prompt box, and nodded.

He issued instructions in the chat room:

"—do it!"

Several teammates had already surrounded the "Black Messenger" before them without knowing it. Seeing the order issued by Rotten Persimmon, they shot together, raised the rusty kitchen knife and sickle in their hands, and slammed it on the head.

Lan Persimmon also took the opportunity to raise the muzzle of the gun, ready to aim at the "Black Messenger" and pull the trigger.

Boom!

All the players around here were stunned.

They never imagined that these people whom God loves would dare to attack the "guide" and "mysterious businessman"!

Are you too bold? !

After a loud noise.

Everyone felt like thunder was exploding in their ears, a heat wave hit their faces, and a raging fire ignited in front of their eyes.

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

Lan Shi's equipment was burned, and he fell to the ground in tatters, his eyes widened.

The "Black Messenger" couldn't help being unscathed, and even squatted down easily, snapping his fingers in front of Rotten Persimmon.

Snapped!

"Blame the emissary of the 'God of Other Lands', Mr. Rotten Persimmon, you will regret it..."

Lan Shi's head slammed, and flames burst out like a torch.

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

Rotten Persimmon received a prompt box at the last second—

【"Black Messenger"'s favorability towards you has dropped! Currently disgusted! 】

The players present exclaimed.

They were shocked by this sudden accident.

God's favorite five players didn't know why they were going crazy. While handing in the task, they suddenly shot at the "Black Messenger", but were instantly killed on the spot.

It's not over yet!

Everyone saw a pair of black wings spread out from the back of the "Black Messenger", and then he soared into the sky.

"Oh! So handsome!"

"Wow!"

"Go! Chase and see!"

A large group of players chased after Chen Lunfei, and soon they came to the center of Emerald Town, and were shocked to find that they had reached the resurrection point.

Lanshi and Shenai's four companions had just been revived, and they were standing next to the cross at the intersection, chatting.

Several illusory black feathers suddenly descended from the sky. When they looked up, they saw a black shadow descending.

Boom!

There was a loud bang.

Lan Shi, together with four teammates, was directly turned into meat paste by Chen Lun, and turned into white light again and dispersed.

The players chasing after him stopped in their tracks one after another, showing surprised expressions.

"Damn it! I was chased to the resurrection point by an NPC!"

"This is too tragic! Let's go offline to avoid the limelight!"

"This game is too scary, NPCs even know how to guard corpses!"

Lan Shi emerged from the crossroad sign next to him with a dazed expression, and his teammates also appeared one after another.

They turned their heads to see that the man in the black top hat was standing quietly aside.

The face of the black mist, no expression can be seen, but it gives people a sense of extreme horror.

"Get offline!"

Rotten Persimmon shouted.

But it was too late.

Boom!

A flaming beheading knife slashed across. Rotten Persimmon, together with his teammates, stood there in a daze.

They became white light again.

More and more players discovered that the "Black Messenger" who was supposed to stay on the west corner of the town was missing. After inquiring for a while, I found out that there were players attacking him and he was hunted down, so they all came towards this side curiously.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Lanshi and his four companions were revived for the last time. Their scalps were numb, and they stood there as if struck by lightning.

The lingering black top hat figure stood in front of them.

"Mr. Black Messenger! We know we are wrong! Please forgive us!"

Rotten Persimmon shouted loudly.

He found that he was in a state of combat and couldn't go offline at all, but he couldn't bear to use up the number of resurrections, so he chose to beg for mercy.

What responded to him was the chuckle of the "Black Messenger".

"Mr. Rotten Persimmon, you should learn to take responsibility instead of bowing your head."

Boom!

The flames engulfed them again.

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

Resurrection has entered the cooldown, and there is no way to go online today.

Corresponds to the game, that is, it needs to wait for five days before continuing to go online.

‘...I will arrange a few birds to stare here, and after five days, if they dare to come up, they will kill you. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

If you dare to challenge his majesty, you must be punished, otherwise these players really don't take him seriously.

*

*

*

Lan Shi wanted to cry without tears, and contacted the god-loved president "World People" offline.

He narrated everything that happened to him in Emerald Town.

Now I am suffering from being unable to go online, and I am already devastated, so I have no choice but to turn to the guild for help.

"The world" was silent, and finally said:

"Lan Shi, you boy is really a genius!"

The other four members of God's Love Guild who were hanging out with him cried and complained to the "worldly people", which annoyed the president too.

Finally, there was no other way, "World People" called Gou Tou Jin and Wang Wang Wuji, who had participated in the closed beta, and asked them for their opinions.

After listening to the narration of Rotten Persimmon.

Gou Toujin and Wang Wang Wuji were silent one after another.

A long while.

They asked about the appearance of the "Black Messenger" and his ability to shoot. Immediately afterwards, they heard that someone posted a video on the forum, so they went up to take a look.

At last.

They only gave one answer:

"Avoid the limelight for the past few days. After he leaves, leave Emerald Town as soon as possible and stop playing in this area."
