Chapter 10 Good Evening
Even in the public beta period, when game companies use invitation codes to control the number of players, the Novice Village is still overcrowded.
Some are desperately doing task upgrades, and some are wandering around to see the scenery.
As the most fringe scenic spot in Xinshou Village, the tea shed is naturally overcrowded. After the three people came to the tea shed, they were stuffed with a note by waiter and asked them to wait in line. There were more than one hundred people waiting in front.
Dugu Zhuo: "..."
He lined up behind more than a hundred people, listening to the chatters of the players who had already lined up
"Ahhhhhhh! It is said that it is thick tea and light rice, I thought it was just a modest name, but I didn't expect this tea to be really bitter!"
"Don't mention it, I heard that the food in the holographic online game can simulate the taste of the royal banquet, especially the taste is adjusted to the highest value of 120%, and the result... It almost didn't kill me!"
"This broken tea sells for 10 taels of silver. Boss, are you a black shop here?"
"If there is a black shop, maybe there is a hidden plot?"
In the keyboard era, players can click on the npc to get the dialog box, but holographic online games cannot point to the npc. Once the wrong position is clicked, the npc will either start the battle mode like the monks of Tanye Temple and kill the player with one move; or just like the boss in front of them——
"This guest official, this shop only sells tea and does not provide special services. You have to add money if you molested the good man."
As soon as the boss’s voice fell, the player poking at the npc probably heard the system prompt and shouted: "You lousy old man, I will deduct 100 taels of silver when I touch you, and the account balance becomes negative, isn’t it too? Pitted?"
He was so angry that he was going to hit the tea shed owner, and his companions around him couldn't help. He could only remind him: "One touch costs 100 taels of silver, and an NPC will definitely be punished."
"I'll see what the punishment is." The player raised his fist.
The expected punishment did not appear. The owner of the tea shed hugged his head and begged for mercy, and the shop Xiaoer dropped his job and called the newspaper officer to go.
The surrounding players are not undisturbed, but they all want to see that bullying NPCs will be punished, so they stand by.
Dugu Zhuo was not a nosy person, but when he saw the shop's second child was too late to call, he glanced over the tea shed owner's silver coin box while he was bored, and suddenly thought of something.
"Lend me the fan." Dugu Zhuo said to the dragon @傲天道.
He casually picked up the paper fan of Long@傲天, jumped, stepped on the top of the queued player and came into the tea shed, tapped the paper fan at the acupuncture point of the beating player, and the player could not move.
"Thank you for this young hero!" The owner of the tea shed raised his head and thanked Dugu Zhuo repeatedly.
Duguzhuo carefully observed the appearance of the tea shed owner and sighed slightly.
The low-level NPCs in the game have only a few different looks, and they are a new character with different clothes, hairstyles and skin colors. The appearance of this tea shed owner was almost the same as the middle-aged man he had just seen in front of the free clinic booth, except that his clothes and hairstyle were different.
It seems that this boss is not the one he met at the foot of Canglan Mountain. The game is after all a game.
"What are you up to?" The player who was imprisoned by Duguzhuo with his true essence angered, and his companion also stood behind him, glaring at Duguzhuo.
Upon seeing this, Qingyue and Aotian were not to be outdone, and moved behind Duguzhuo to support the great god.
It's not how loyal they are, but the left and right are just games, why not be loyal?
When the two parties were on the verge of breaking out, the shop Xiaoer finally arrived with the arrest, and the tea shed owner quickly pointed to the troubled player and said: "My lord, it was he who smashed the little old man's tea shed and beat me!"
Catching quickly swept across several players, and waved his big hand: "The troublemaker takes away, and the team with him also takes away for interrogation."
"Huh? We didn't do anything, why should we be taken away?" the troublemaker's companion shouted.
The catchers didn't care about this, they trapped a few players with chains and said, "Don't you know what is called liansi?"
Several players were also level ten players, but when they were arrested and caught, they lost all energy and were taken away without resistance.
Seeing their fate, the rest of the onlookers finally determined that this game is against bloody violence. You can bully the players, but you must not bully the npc.
Several people were taken away, and their seats were vacated. They should have given their seats to the numbered person. Unexpectedly, after the tea shed owner cleaned the table, he made a "please" gesture to Dugu Zhuo and the others, and said with a smile: "Gong, please take a seat."
"Hey! Is it our turn according to the regulations?" The players in the line behind said displeased.
"The guest officer who charges is in accordance with the regulations. This is the old man's benefactor. The guests I invite do not need to pay. I will ask for this tea." The tea shed owner looked like "I am the boss and I am the biggest."
The players in the line also have no temper. Who told them they didn't help when the boss was beaten just now.
Dugu Zhuo sat on the main seat of the broken tea shed, thinking about what had happened just now.
The catchers did not come early or late, but only arrived after he had subdued the troublemaker, as if squatting on the side waiting for someone to take action before rushing out.
And when the troublemaker was quickly taken away, he received a system prompt and got another 1 point of justice for punishing evil and promoting good.
However, the method he used to subdue the troublemakers to restrain the other party's actions did not show any hint to make jade slips.
He hadn't received a prompt when he just released "Wandering Array" before. It was not until the black cat was killed by the monster to make the jade slip. One of the conditions for the creative skills is that the player must die due to the skill.
After thinking about it, the owner of the tea shed brought a pot of tea and some exquisite refreshments.
Other players filled the tea with stoneware bowls, but theirs was with small porcelain cups.
"It smells so sweet!" Qingyue sniffed the tea, revealing a pleasant expression.
"Well, this is delicious! Sweet but not greasy, I don't worry about getting fat after eating it!" Aotian nibbled at the refreshment with bright eyes.
Players around: "..."
I regret it, why didn't take it out of justice?
Duguzhuo took a sip of the tea cup, which was much better than the bowl of tea he had drunk under Canglan Mountain.
He looked into the distance and saw the fog outside the small town. Qingyue told him that they had tried to get out of the fog, but they would only walk back to where they were. It should be because the level was not enough or the conditions were not enough to leave the Novice Village map.
"What's on the other side of the mist?" Du Guzhuo asked.
"This little old man doesn't know," said the owner of the tea shed. "The little old man's ancestors have been in this small town for generations. No one has ever walked out of this mist."
It seems that it is not so easy to find out the secrets of the world.
Dugu Zhuo was not in a hurry, he was only at level 9 at the moment, his injuries did not recover, and Ye Zhou's soul was clueless, just take it slowly.
Cultivation has no years, and it took Duguzhuo for hundreds of years to cultivate his skills today. He is very patient.
He asked the boss a few more questions. The owner of the tea shed didn't know if he asked three questions. At this time, the time had gradually come to Shushi, which was what Aotian said at 7:30 in the evening, the sun was setting, and the sun was gradually setting.
The owner of the tea shed suddenly said: "It's late at night, and the shop has to close its stalls. Don't worry about the numbered guest officers. The shop opens every hour every day. Tomorrow, all the guest officers with numbers can be sorted according to today's number."
"Why do you have to close the stall at night? What are the rules?" Some players who have been waiting for a long time are a little dissatisfied, but they dare not hurt the npc anymore. Moreover, the tea shed seems to have no useful clues, just drinking tea and teasing the npc.
Duguzhuo and others also got up and left, but they were stopped by the boss.
"Shao Xia wait a minute, speak here." The boss whispered.
When the three of Duguzhuo came to the tea room, the boss took out 100 taels of silver from the money box and handed it to Duguzhuo: "Young man, it is dangerous at night, please be sure to go offline or find an inn to stay in before two quarters."
"Just kidding, go to the store instead of upgrading at good time in the evening? The nightlife does not start until 8 o'clock. There is no reason not to play games." Aotian retorted.
"The young man can choose to provide the inn with the spirit gathering formation, meditate cross-legged in the gathering spirit formation, even if you hang up, you can get upgrade experience." The boss replied.
"But that kind of inn is hard to find. Only Youpeng inn in the town provides the gathering spirit array, and the rooms are limited. Fortunately, the little old man and the owner of the inn are relatives. ."
As the boss said, he took out three envelopes and handed them to the three of Duguzhuo: "The sun is about to set, young hero as soon as possible!"
The tone is a bit rush.
This will Aotian also heard some questions: "Will this old man tell us that there is danger at night, right?"
Duguzhuo took 100 taels of silver and said: "According to your guess, the game can be exchanged for spirit stones after currency exchange is open. Then why are there two currencies? What are the silver taels used for?"
"For life players to eat and play..." Qingyue guessed.
"That's not necessarily." Dugu Zhuo said.
The three of them followed the directions pointed by the boss and arrived at the Youpeng Inn five minutes later.
A room requires 100 taels of silver, and the boss’s thank you gold is only enough for Duguzhuo to live alone. Fortunately, Qingyue and Aotian did a lot of tasks during the day. The two of them gathered together, emptied the family, and barely took out 180 taels of silver, which was only enough to pay for one room.
"You still have 20 taels short of silver. Let me go to the backyard to work with me to pay off the debt, 10 taels an hour." The innkeeper said.
Aotian reluctantly followed the boss to clean the dishes and feed the horses, while Dugu Zhuo came to his room.
There are spiritual stones embedded in the walls of the upper room, and the place where the spiritual energy gathers is the bed of the guest room. It is true that you can practice as long as you lie on the bed.
Dugu Zhuo inspected the aura in the lower spirit stone, enough to maintain a 6-hour formation, and it would be invalid tomorrow, that is, seven or eight o'clock in the morning.
The proud sky who chops horses and grass in the backyard works while muttering: "A broken game, saying that it is part-time work to pay off debts. Isn't it enough to deduct a little physical strength for part-time work? It takes two hours to work? Why should I spend a lot of money to live in this broken inn? ."
I was complaining and arrived at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The sky was completely dark, the moon slowly climbed up the branches, and Long@傲天 suddenly received a paper crane transmission from his friend: "Hahahaha! I can move, you don't know how powerful I am. Lao Tzu is the strongest willow tree demon! "
Aotian, who was feeding the horse, was taken aback, and listened to his friend's paper crane sound transmission again.
At this time, Qingyue also rushed to the backyard and said: "Just now Xiaowen sent me a message, she said that the monster clan can be transformed at night below level 20, and now the monster clan, ghost clan and demons are swaying in the streets."
Xiaowen is a friend who Qingyue chose the Demon and never saw again.
"No, the current human players..." Aotian looked at the wall in the backyard, "Go up and have a look?"
The two climbed up the wall and saw that the street outside was full of people. A group of human players knocked on the door everywhere, crying: "Help, there are ghosts everywhere, open the door and let me in!"
The door opened, a stout arm stretched out and slapped the human player to death.
During the day, the NPCs in towns have changed from kind-hearted residents to monsters. The three tribes of monsters, ghosts, and demons, which are difficult to upgrade during the day, can now take on tasks in the game.
As for the human and spirit players, if they were lucky, they stayed in the Tanye Temple, the inn and other houses before 8 o'clock. If they were not lucky, they would either be killed by the npc or they would go offline and play tomorrow.
The system also issues announcements in a timely manner——
[Good evening, welcome players to the world of Flurry Qun Demon. 】
Qingyue and Aotian: "..."
Can you still play like this?
