Chapter 37: Seconds to pay
I don’t have it! I'm not! I have no idea!
When Mo Tan was pinned to the ground by the crowd of people, he was completely confused. Putting aside the reality, he should not have done anything evil in the game. Even if I have done it...it must have nothing to do with this character, right? ?
So who can explain to me what is going on!
A few seconds later, the female receptionist who had handled the formalities for Mo Tan some time ago came over from the other side of the hall, half-crouched in front of him like a little girl, and gritted her teeth. A blank stare came over: "I finally waited for you."
"Um..." Mo Tan was pushed to the ground by a tall ogre adventurer. While rubbing it on the smooth marble, he said helplessly: "I think there must be some misunderstanding."
Indeed, logically speaking, this kind of scene of being criticized by everyone should never happen to him, at least it is unlikely to happen to the 'current' Mo Tan. After all, in the game, this [Lawful Good] Silent But he has never done anything bad. It is absolutely impossible for a certain [Chaotic Neutral] personality to appear in him at this time. No matter from any perspective, he is a good citizen.
But now, the good man was pushed to the ground by a bunch of people, and the receptionist of the Anka Market Adventurer Branch in front of him had black smoke coming out of his head.
"Misunderstanding?" The young lady sneered: "People have knocked on the door, and you are still here telling me about the misunderstanding?!"
Mo Tan was even more confused. First of all, he He didn’t know who came to the door, and secondly, he didn’t know what it had to do with him...
"Tsk, tsk, tell me the truth now!" The young lady smacked her lips, and her voice suddenly raised an octave: "Why did you let the dog hurt people!!"
Hmm? !
Do dogs hurt people? What kind of dog can be manipulated and who can be hurt? !
“Don’t know?” The receptionist raised her eyebrows, turned around and glanced at the large crowd of spectators: “That big man, yes, it’s you, bring her here!”< br>
……
After a while, the sad-looking one-eyed troll adventurer came back, pushing a large iron cage with four rollers underneath.
What is there is...
"Yang?!" Mo Tan took a closer look, okay, the pointed gray animal ears, the tail hanging listlessly next to it, and the two sharp With her little tiger teeth and a slightly aggrieved expression on her face, isn't she the dog girl who doesn't even speak common language, and even the word "woof" has a slight accent.
There seems to be some burnt marks on her body...
Why is she here too, and she is locked up.
For some reason, a very familiar feeling suddenly appeared in Mo Tan's heart, just like the feeling he had every time he did something bad when he was in another (everyone knew) personality, and then returned to the current state.
It's very bad...
"Two nights ago, our branch received two complaints at the same time." The young lady glanced at Yaya in the big iron cage, her face expressionless. Said: "The complainants are the publishers of E-level mission No. 17502 and E-level mission No. 10308, Ms. Molly and Mr. and Mrs. Guluo."
Gudu.
Mo Tan swallowed.
"Woo~" Yaya's ears also drooped.
“Among them, Ms. Molly highly praised our branch because the pest eradication tasks she issued were very highly completed.” The young lady showed a sweet smile: “And claim 30 gold coins from us.”< br>
Mo Tan laughed dryly: "Well, why do you still need to claim for compensation if the degree of completion is so high..."
"Ask your dog." The young lady continued to smile.
Mo Tan turned his attention to Ya Ya.
"Um...Woof!" Yaya hugged his knees with both hands, drawing circles with his tail on the side, and muttered vaguely: "So many woofs...Woofs! Scared...a big one!"
< br>It’s okay to scare a lot of people.
Mo Tan's understanding ability is pretty good, and he immediately deciphered (correctly) the meaning of Ya Ya's words.
The mission was to get rid of bugs. After taking her to the destination, she saw a lot of bugs and was frightened.
"Yes." The receptionist spread her hands: "So she was startled, and she didn't know why she suddenly slaughtered with extremely high efficiency... Yes, that's what I meant, killing. After removing all the bugs, plants, and flowers in Ms. Molly’s yard, they also demolished half of the house.”
Mo Tan's eyes suddenly became extremely horrifying when he looked at Yaya.
"Woof...gu..." The dog girl's tail that was drawing circles almost turned into an afterimage.
"Okay." Mo Tan sighed, raised his head and asked, "Then what?"
People said there were two complaints, so this matter must not be over yet...
"Then she jumped to No. 11 Xiangxun Avenue, which is in front of the Guluo couple's residence." The young lady said calmly: "It seemed that she wanted to find you, but at that time You were not there, so she..."
【No! Stop talking! I don't want to hear it! 】
Mo Tan wanted to yell so loudly, but out of the inexplicable guilt in his heart, he still listened obediently.
"So she helped you complete task number 10308, which was to help the Guluo couple 'weed'." The young lady spread her hands: "The yard was completely plowed, including hundreds of 20% weeds and 80% precious magical plants. By the way, she seemed to have planned to demolish the Guluo couple's house as well, but failed because the steps of their house suddenly exploded. Then he was caught by the two goblins, and after being interrogated, he was taken directly to the branch!"
A human ax warrior next to him said with his legs shaking: "Those two goblins are simply crazy! , they almost blew up our branch!"
"Oh, think about it on the bright side." A tall dark elf thief rolled his eyes: "If that kind of person doesn't do botany. If we become adventurers instead, will we still have food to eat?”
The orc shaman not far away jumped up and exclaimed in surprise: "It turns out they are botanists! I thought they were both engaged in field engineering!"
"In short, that's probably it. "The young lady stared at Mo Tan with black lines on her head: "The Guluo couple came here to make a big fuss, insisting on an explanation and demanding compensation of three thousand gold coins from the person in charge. Of course, the actual loss is definitely not that two. Want money but not your life Goblins say a lot, but there are even tenths, and then..."
She glanced at Fang, who was trembling in the cage, and spread her hands: "She has no money."
"Woof..."
Mo Tan suddenly looked down on himself, because he found that he had a mentality of 'It would be great if he was kicked offline right now'...
>
Sure enough...
"So, combined with the large amount of information provided by witnesses near Yangchao Avenue, as well as the adventurers who saw you two at the door of the branch at that time." The young lady handed a piece of paper to Mo In front of Tan: "Coupled with the fact that this half-orc girl helped you complete the task, I ask you, who is temporarily considered to be the owner, to pay a total of 340 gold coins in compensation and 90 copper coins in food expenses. This girl is really good at eating. .”
Mo Tan's eyesight went dark... He failed, he couldn't faint in the game...
"I..." Mo Tan sighed: "I don't have that much money. "
"You can pay it off within three days." The young lady shrugged: "After all, the Adventurer's Guild still has some weight. Of course, you can also distance yourself from this matter. After all, It was the girl who went crazy at that time.”
At this time, the people around him had already let go of Mo Tan and picked him up from the ground.
Ya Ya let out a confused whimper in the cage.
"But she will be deprived of her adventurer qualifications and will be included in the blacklist of most neutral organizations on the continent." The receptionist reached into the cage and touched Yaya's head, and said with a bitter smile: "Life will definitely be very difficult in the future..." "Woof?"
"Be good, I'll give you a big bone to chew on later."
"Wow!"
Mo Tan was speechless for two seconds, and then nodded happily: "I know, I will think of a way in these three days, if I can't come up with it in the end The amount is enough, and I am willing to accept all the consequences for her.”
This account is easy to settle. After all, I am a player. Even if this incident leads to some very bad consequences, it is still better than my own. It's so much better to lose a foothold in this world for NPC fangs.
You must know that a large number of organizations such as the Adventurer's Guild, the Mercenary Guild, the Thieves Guild, the Magician's Guild, etc. are all 'neutral organizations'. Once they are on the so-called 'blacklist', for an innocent continent The consequences are obvious to the natives.
So Mo Tan took this matter on himself without any hesitation.
At the same time...
[You have triggered the event task: repay the debt, reward: 500 optional experience points, a piece of random sophisticated equipment; failure penalty: reputation of all neutral organizations except Tianzhu Mountain - 5000]
Mo Tan knew without looking that the content of the task was to pay off the debt of 340 gold and 90 copper for Yaya within three days.
Although he felt that the punishment for failure was already on his back, it could not be said that this matter had nothing to do with him. Mo Tan was quite open-minded and at the same time began to think about whether there was any way to get this money through legitimate means. huge sum of money.
By the way, is there such a thing as lottery in this world...
"Okay, then it's settled." The young lady's eyes looked at Mo Tan much softer. She gently knocked twice on the iron cage beside her, and the iron fence in front of Yaya disappeared in an instant.
"Woof!" The girl squeaked out, then quickly ran behind Mo Tan, and whispered in a low voice: "I can't afford it, I'll give you... more trouble..."< br>
Yeah, very cute.
The eyes of the single men who were watching were almost straightened when they saw this scene.
"Come to the branch and pay the money within three days." The young lady told Mo Tan, and then whispered: "I have left a few tasks for you. Although the time is a bit tight, I will work hard. It may not be impossible to complete if you try hard, and the rewards are pretty good.”
Mo Tan could only smile bitterly and nod his thanks, but he was not happy at all...
You must know that Dave hasn't received the justice he deserves. When the time comes, he will have to change his number. Things over there, it’s extremely difficult to get the best of both worlds.
But I have no choice. After all, it’s pretty good that they can give me three days. Yaya has to help, and Dave has to punish him, so...
“I’ll try my best. For that matter." Mo Tan showed a wry smile: "You can pay back as much as you can."
However...
"No need." A sharp voice sounded from the entrance of the hall on the first floor: "We will pay back these gold coins."
[You have completed the task: repay the debt, obtain 500 optional experience points, and obtain equipment— —White Lion Buckler]
Clam! ?
Mo Tan was immediately shocked!
Not to mention him, even the receptionist in front of him and the people around him were shocked.
The crowd dispersed slightly, and three forest elves who looked like green stick figures walked over. The first one walked straight to Mo Tan and nodded to him: "I never had the time to thank you personally, and I don't know how to repay you. You saved the people in our caravan, let us give you the money.”
The people in Lin Jing’s caravan!
Mo Tan reacted immediately, but immediately waved his hands and said: "How embarrassing is this."
He was not pretending, he just felt that he had really not done anything remarkable before. I felt a bit sorry to ask the other party to help pay this 'huge sum'.
"It doesn't matter." Lin Jing, who had a beard as long as a handful of leeks, seemed to smile: "It's just a little effort."
After saying that, he took a green fruit from the hands of the fellow behind him, handed it to the receptionist who was busy in a daze, and said softly: "This green fruit should be enough to help our friends offset the Is it a debt?"
The tone should be as calm as possible, and the tone should be as rich as possible...
Although I can't see the item introduction, my intuition tells Mo Tan that this thing is It must be valuable.
"Enough is enough." The young lady's hand drew an afterimage in mid-air, and the fruit that continued to exude a refreshing fragrance disappeared into her pocket, and then she said with a smile: "But we can't find it!"
Well, I collected the things anyway, and now I can't find the change. What do you think...
But the Lin Jing shook his head indifferently: "It's okay, but could you please help us arrange a quieter room? There is something we want to talk to this friend about before we leave."
"The VVVIP room No. 7 on the third floor is now vacant." The young lady smiled as sweetly as she could: "It can be provided to our distinguished guests at any time~"
If it weren't for Mo Tan has a very good temper now, he has definitely started to complain!
"Wang..." Yaya tugged at the corner of Mo Tan's clothes with some fear, and muttered: "Wang wants to... follow..."
Mo Tan was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head... and then looked down at the forest elf who seemed to have a lot of status.
"It doesn't matter." The other party nodded: "This level of language function basically eliminates the possibility of leaking secrets."
Ya Ya: "Woof?"
Mo Tan: ". …..”
Two minutes later, VVVIP room No. 7 on the third floor of the Anka Market Adventurer Branch.
"Please allow me to introduce myself." As soon as Lin Jing sat down (jumped on the chair), he leaned slightly towards Mo Tan and said: "My name is Duanzhi Xuanqian, one of the elders of my clan. , is the person in charge of this caravan.”
It's okay to cut off Xuanyuan's finger...
Of course Mo Tan would not sigh like this at this time, but just responded politely (it is always right to do so): "My name is Mo, thank you. "He didn't say any unnecessary nonsense. Since he was determined to help, there was no point in being pretentious.
"Actually, it's like this." Duanji... Elder Zhi didn't mince words at all, and got straight to the point: "I have an unkind invitation..."
