Chapter 61 NPC favorability
[Purchased physical training skills in cash at a high price, and transferred the money offline on the spot after the transaction was completed. 】
[Whoever has unused body-building combat skills, don’t be afraid that I have no money. As long as you are willing to sell it, you can set the price as you like. 】
……
Zhou Xiao's good luck has once again sparked a craze in the player community to find the God of Wealth.
And the purchase posts of body-building combat skills posted by heavy Krypton players on the forum have ignited the enthusiasm of players.
The price of a physical training combat skill has been speculated to 4 million in cash on the forum, and there is no market for it. Except for Zhou Xiao, no other players have obtained it yet.
Although some of the players who bid were just shouting out the price on the forum, the body-forging combat skills still had a huge temptation for ordinary players, which meant that they could get rich overnight by getting a piece of the body-forging combat skills.
……
Blood plain.
A team of ten players is engaged in a fierce confrontation with a group of goat-like monsters called Angry Horns.
"Fire, hear my cry and appear."
Accompanied by the cry of feeling full of the second grade, the hands of a player in the team ignited two black flames, which quickly spread all over the body. The flesh and blood on his body dissipated under the burning of the flames, revealing the dense white bones.
Switching to the bone fire form, the player raises his hand to condense several fireballs and shoot them towards the Angry Horns group.
"I'll give it to you and turn it into mutton kebabs!"
The three Angry Horns hit by the fireball were immediately enveloped in raging ink-colored flames and let out a mournful scream.
"You kid, can you stop being so stupid? It makes my skin crawl. Can you change your lines to something more serious?"
Hearing these words, Chi Tu Chao, who transformed into a bone and fire form, was moved to kill and raised his middle finger:
"Bah, isn't it embarrassing for your little snake to be entangled?"
"It's a big snake, you are a little snake..."
While hunting monsters, there was constant bickering in the team's voice channel, and the atmosphere was joyful.
At this moment, Chitu suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a familiar figure in the distance, and he immediately switched to the eagle-headed demon form to look at it.
With the help of the eagle eye, the figure in the distance became clear.
"Brother Li, he is the God of Wealth!"
Hearing the cry of eating dirt, Li Zheng, who was in front of him in the form of a snake with a body more than ten meters long, felt excited in his heart.
"Bah!"
He held the goat-like angry horn in his mouth and spit it out to the side. He raised his huge head and looked in the direction Chitu was pointing.
His vertical pupils suddenly shrank, his gaze narrowed, and he saw a familiar figure.
He is about 1.65 meters tall, with light blue hair. His expressionless face looks like an exquisite doll. He is currently sitting on a twisted tree, closing his eyes and meditating.
"Hey, good luck is coming."
Li Zheng said, his body twisted and quickly shrunk, switching to human form, and a black cloth was automatically added to his body.
Baogan spent several days clearing the Dark Cave. After completing the purification mission, his contribution ranked first. The reward he received brought his body training level to level 3. However, when faced with low-level monsters that could be easily killed, he still He habitually likes to fight in the form of a black-armored snake.
The current form of the black-armored snake has grown to level 22, with a body length of 11 meters. Its strong physical fitness can easily twist a large tree.
It has reached a situation where a real big snake is entangled.
At this time, Li Zheng and the brothers of the Gan Diqun were very excited when they discovered the trace of the God of Wealth, and ran decisively towards the direction of Broken Star.
Broken Star, not far away, also sensed a figure approaching and opened its pure white eyes to look at Li Zheng and others.
But he did not choose to leave. He was curious about what these beings who claimed to be the Wan Family wanted to do with him.
When Li Zheng and others approached, he jumped down from the tree trunk and landed steadily.
Before he could speak.
"God of Wealth, I finally see you, hurry up and go through the process."
"God of Wealth, I also want to develop combat skills. There are ten of us here, and each of us will have one."
"God of Wealth, do you have a hidden mall function here? Can you buy good things that are not available in ordinary malls?"
……
Broken Star:...
This series of questions confused Broken Star.
Seeing Broken Star frozen in place, Li Zheng and other players in the Gan Emperor group suddenly felt worried.
Members of the Gandi team spoke one after another on the team voice channel:
Family Sharing Foster Father: Brother Li, is it the wrong way to open it? You can’t ask for it directly, you have to do it tactfully.
Leopard Head Lingchong: Don't make trouble, the progress is too fast. I was browsing the post that day and saw that others got the body-building combat skills red envelope after chatting for a long time. We have to chat slowly and wait for the right time. The God of Wealth Himself Will send.
Too poor to eat dirt: Is there a possibility that the prerequisite for asking for red envelopes from the God of Wealth is to gain enough personal favorability. The special incident of saving the God of Wealth last time changed his favorability towards our player's camp from hatred to We are friendly, so we did it without meeting each other, but our personal favorability is 0. It is definitely not possible to ask for things directly. We have to do it step by step. According to my experience in playing games for so many years, giving gifts is the easiest way to increase our favorability.
Intrigued: Yes, build your goodwill first and don't directly ask for things. This is too rude.
……
"I don't understand what you are talking about. What do you want from me?" Duanxing asked in a deep voice, looking at Li Zheng and others who were standing there in a daze.
After communicating on the voice channel, Li Zheng and other Gandi players decisively changed their strategies.
They took out food cans of various flavors from their space bags and handed them to Broken Star with a flattering look on their faces:
"Eat something?"
Seeing Li Zheng and others taking out a bunch of things out of thin air, Broken Star's expression became very exciting.
He realized something.
These guys actually carried space props with them.
How could he not know the value of this thing?
Now he is only a reserve soldier and cannot be equipped with space props.
But even if you are promoted to an official warrior of the Against the Tide Legion, you need to exchange a lot of military merits if you want to equip space props.
Such a precious thing, these guys who call themselves the Wan Family actually have one in their hands.
But thinking about it carefully, Broken Star couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.
Space props are physically carried. He has killed a large number of family members before. After their death, they will turn into black mist and dissipate without dropping any items. This is not in line with the characteristics of space props.
Is it because of their strange body structure that they have space to store items in their bodies?
Brokenstar immediately thought of another possibility.
There is a racial force in the Against the Tide Legion called the "Empty Clan". Members of this ethnic group have a special racial skill. When they reach adulthood, their stomachs will undergo magical changes, forming a space into which they can store things.
He felt that members of the Wan family most likely had similar abilities. By changing their body structure, they formed a small space in the body to store items.
But after thinking about this explanation carefully, it still can't explain why the black mist dissipates after death but no items are dropped.
Facing the food handed over by Li Zheng and others, Broken Star did not refuse and reached out to take it. He planned to have a good chat with this group of family members and find out about the internal situation of their race and the origin of their special abilities.
Sitting on the floor, Broken Star violently unscrewed the lid of the can and couldn't help but frown after taking a small bite of the food.
This food does not come with any energy. It is purely used to satisfy the feeling of fullness. It is worthless. It is not as efficient as directly absorbing the energy of heaven and earth to replenish the body's consumption.
But in order to gather information, he still ate patiently and looked for opportunities to ask questions.
During this period, Li Zheng and others also sat down in front of Duanxing and watched him eating. A text prompt popped up on the God of Wealth's head:
Favorability +1
Favorability +1
With a good start, you only need to wait for the favorability to reach the standard to receive the gift from the God of Wealth.
In the subsequent exchange, Broken Star asked about the origin of the Wan family.
Although he had already asked Zhou Xiao this question, he still planned to find out more.
Faced with the inquiry, Li Zheng's thoughts were completely different from Zhou Xiao's.
Zhou Xiao only wanted to say what he wanted to say, without covering up, and never thought about the possible impact.
But Li Zheng is different.
As a senior player, he knows that the NPCs in the game world are actually intelligent AI created by the Lunar Eclipse tribe. They were implanted with memories corresponding to the background of the game world when they were born. They do not know that they are NPCs, thinking that they are NPCs. He is a living being, and he does not know that the purpose of his existence is to create game content for players.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Therefore, simply explaining that you are a player is essentially breaking the rules of the game and giving NPCs incomprehensible content.
This kind of behavior is very shameful in Li Zheng's opinion. In serious cases, NPCs who even know the truth will be taken back by the Lunar Eclipse clan and initialized to prevent NPCs from doubting their own position and thinking outside of their position.
As a player, Li Zheng felt that he had to assume the player's background position to contact NPCs.
This is also a way to improve your sense of immersion in the game.
Therefore, when he introduced the playing family, he used the guide to introduce the background as a reference description.
He said that he was once a member of the Wan family who believed in the Emperor's Omen. After the Black Tide came, the Wan family fell into a deep sleep and only recently woke up. They want to rekindle the fire of the Emperor's Omen and regain the territory swallowed by the Black Tide.
During this period, Li Zheng also introduced Broken Star to the land beneath his feet.
It means that this is the Imperial Tomb Mountain Area, where the Imperial Omen was once buried, and it is also the border area of the monster world.
But unlike Zhou Xiao, Li Zheng did not mention Dizhong Village.
Because Novice Village is the resurrection point for players, it is obviously difficult for NPCs to understand it in Li Zheng's opinion.
This communication went smoothly and there was no problem of content being blocked or banned.
After Broken Star collected this information, his desire to win over the Wan family became stronger.
But the problem is that the Wan family is a race from ancient times. They still believe in the ancient creation god Emperor Omen. They have pedantic ideas and seem unwilling to join the counter-tide army.
After chatting for a long time, Li Zheng found that Broken Star had not proposed the idea of giving a red envelope yet, and Li Zheng couldn't wait any longer.
As a brick-and-mortar player, time is money in his eyes, and he can no longer waste it like this.
"God of Wealth, our family has a saying called libisang reciprocity, which means that after a friend gives a gift, there should be a gift in return. This is a very polite behavior."
Hearing these words, Broken Star couldn't help but be startled, then lowered his head and looked at the canned food in his hand.
Li Zheng's meaning has been made very clear, and he obviously hopes that he can give some gifts in return.
Thinking of the life-saving grace of the Wan family, Broken Star did not care too much about the value of the food. After a brief thought, he took out a purple crystal from the arm guard and handed it to Li Zheng:
"This is the Purple Soul Crystal, my return gift."
Li Zheng smiled happily after taking the purple soul crystal and seeing that the analysis information showed that it was a level 7 spiritual ore.
After chatting with him for a long time, he finally gained something. As expected, he still had to gain goodwill before starting the subsequent red envelope session.
But after taking the crystal, he couldn't help but ask:
"God of Wealth, do you have any training skills as gifts here?"
Hearing these words, Broken Star's forehead pulsed with veins, and he realized that the news that apparently the last time he had gifted the Wan Family's body-building combat skills had spread within the player group.
Asking for physical training and combat skills was the main purpose of their approach this time.
"No, I only carry one physical training skill with me." Broken Star decisively shook his head in rejection.
Broken Star's answer disappointed Li Zheng and others, and the team's voice channel also analyzed this:
"Brother Li, it may be that our favorability is not enough, or the God of Wealth's backpack has not refreshed the physical training skills. Come back next time."
"What a pity. I finally met the God of Wealth. I didn't expect that the inventory of body-building combat skills has been emptied. I can only wait for the next refresh."
"Exchanging 1 sacrificial can of food for a level 7 ore is already a huge profit. Brothers, don't be so greedy. It's time to retreat."
……
The topic ended here, Li Zheng and others stood up to say goodbye.
But what Brokenstar didn't know was that it was his friendly behavior towards the Wan family that led to the subsequent harassment.
Not long after Li Zheng left, he posted a strategy post on the forum.
[The correct way to open the God of Wealth, the hidden attribute in the game: NPC intimacy. 】
Posted by: Game Brick Party.
Content:
I learned a lot from the strategies posted by brothers on the forum, and today I finally have a practical strategy to give back to you.
Let’s go straight to the topic. Recently, everyone is looking for the God of Wealth, thinking that if you find the God of Wealth, you can get gifts. This idea is actually wrong, because I found that there is actually a hidden attribute in the game: favorability.
I don't think I need to explain these three words "favorability". Brothers who have played games all understand it.
In other games, NPC's favorability can be obtained directly by viewing the attribute panel. If you reach a certain favorability with the NPC, you can obtain service conveniences, or purchase rights for discounted goods and special goods.
But the friendship level in this game is a hidden attribute. Although it cannot be seen from the attribute panel and other places, it is real...
……
This strategy post posted by Li Zheng tells how he received a red envelope as a gift in return by giving a gift to the God of Wealth.
A level 7 quality spiritual ore.
This post quickly gained popularity on the forum, and many players responded with thanks, saying that they had learned the correct way to open the God of Wealth.
Li Zheng's success has strengthened players' impression of Broken Star.
It is believed that the God of Wealth is a special mechanism in the game. If you encounter it, you can make a small fortune. If you are lucky, the space backpack of the God of Wealth just refreshes the body-building combat skills, and you will make a fortune suddenly.
This set off a craze for exchanging scraps for treasures.
All players want to buy cheap goods through the mall and exchange them with the God of Wealth for high-value body-building combat skills or high-quality spiritual ores.
At this time, Brokenstar, who was unaware, was still thinking about whether to investigate the Wan family in depth.
For example, searching for their clan area and secretly observing and collecting information.
When I have the opportunity to return to my homeland in the future, I will report the information about the Wan family and try to recruit the Wan family to join the Counter Tide Legion and become one of the racial forces serving the Counter Tide Legion.
Little did they know that a wave of "harassment actions" to increase their favorability was about to hit.
