Chapter 38 The Highest Secret of Freeloading
After a while, a handsome player ran over and said to Smith, "Are you really collecting food?"
"No matter what they say or ask, just pretend you can't hear them and point to the wooden sign!"
Smith remembered Qi Ge's instructions, and without saying a word, he pointed to the wooden sign beside him.
The player tentatively took out 10 march rations.
Smith handed him 2 gold coins.
"Fuck, it's actually true!"
He quickly took out all 60 tradable rations from his backpack.
Smith put the marching rations in a cloth bag behind him and gave him 12 gold.
He quickly posted on the forum.
hjhtf: What the OP said is true! I exchanged 70 marching rations for 14 gold coins, spent 10 gold coins to buy 100 marching rations from the system, got 30 units of food and 4 gold coins for free! The NPC is at the resurrection point! Brothers, charge!
Qi Ge hid behind the pillar and smiled evilly!
Yes, you guys made a lot of money, but I lost a lot!
Qi Ge knew the player's personality very well. If Qi Ge wanted to buy food himself, the player would definitely be full of doubts:
“Why do the big guys, Qi Ge, have to pay high prices for non-bound food?
Is there any difference between unbound food and bound food? "
This is definitely a bad thing. The more you want to buy something, the less likely you are to buy it.
It would be different if it was Smith. Players would just think that he was an NPC who was giving out benefits, that they could buy things for free, and that he could exploit bugs to take advantage of others.
To put it bluntly, this trick takes advantage of the information gap when the game is launched. Once players come into contact with NPC troops and understand the role of non-bound food, this trick will no longer work.
Afterwards, more and more players came to trade. Qi Ge felt so depressed that tears flowed from the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
Stop it! Stop it now! Don’t sell anymore! You guys are going to fleece me! I, Qige, have suffered a huge loss, and you guys have made a lot of money! Hehehehehe~~~~
Players kept coming in, and Smith was so busy handing over gold coins with one hand and collecting food with the other that he was almost overwhelmed.
She admired Qi Ge more and more. Although she didn't know how Brother Qi Ge did it, it was just as he said, as long as she set up a stall, people would keep selling food to her.
Soon, all the 2,000 gold coins that Qi Ge gave to Smith were sold out, and Smith began to use his own private money to collect food.
These gold coins were earned by Smith from selling alchemical treasures on behalf of Grandpa Albert.
It was the girl's secret piggy bank! Even Smith's parents didn't know about it. It wasn't a lot, only about 5,000 gold coins.
Originally, Smith thought it was a great achievement to collect all the 2,000 gold coins given to her by Brother Qi Ge, but she didn't expect so many people to come!
And many people disappeared after buying, and Smith knew that they were returning to their own world.
When they appear again, they will run away in a hurry and bring a large group of people with them.
Qi Ge looked at yet another guild’s food being emptied and felt a little strange. Could two thousand gold coins buy so much food?
Now players can generally only move in level 1 monster areas, and the food they get is usually marching rations.
Although it was the most basic food, the marching rations just met Smith's needs.
The shelf life of marching rations is as long as ten years. They don’t taste very good, but they can fill you up and save lives in case of famine.
"Seventh Brother~Boss~I'm here." Li Xiaobai walked stealthily behind the pillar where Seventh Brother was and said in a low voice.
Qi Ge looked at Li Xiaobai, made a hushing gesture, and pointed outside the pillar.
Li Xiaobai looked around and said, "Wow! So many people?"
"Boss, where is the NPC you mentioned?"
Qi Ge pointed to the pile of dry rations that was more than two meters high and said, "It's blocked in front of it."
"So many have been collected? Do I still need to do it?" Li Xiaobai asked.
Qi Ge originally wanted to let Li Xiaobai act as a stand-in and do some promotion if there weren't many people selling food, but looking at the current situation, that's not necessary.
"No, just go and do your mission. By the way, this blueprint is for you."
Qi Ge traded the blueprint of the Griffin Tower to Li Xiaobai. Originally, Qi Ge wanted to sell the blueprint to Tianxia Baiye to get some gold coins so that he could change his job in the tower.
But Li Haibao completed a fifty-ring mission yesterday and obtained the hidden building blueprint of the Griffin Crossbowman, which required the Griffin Tower as a prerequisite.
Level 3, tier 2 hidden troop building! Qi Ge himself doesn't even have one yet, what a lucky idiot .
Qi Ge must satisfy his brothers first.
“Thank you, boss!”
“Are there enough materials?”
“That’s enough!”
"Then go ahead and build some jungle and quickly upgrade to level 10. Once we all have professions, we can start building the city."
"Okay!"
Not long after Li Xiaobai left, something happened at Smith's place.
"This place is reserved by our Fourth Scourge Guild! Anyone who wants to enter must pay 2 gold coins!"
Qi Ge saw a group of players surrounding Schmidt, and the leading player was wearing a very silly My Little Pony headgear and yelling at everyone.
??? Which guild is so stupid that they dare to do something that will cause great anger?
Qi Ge was furious, not knowing whether Smith would be scared because he was surrounded. Just as he was about to rush over, he heard a loud shout.
"I won't allow it!"
Qi Ge saw Liu Xing, the vice president of Tian Xia Bai Ye Guild, walking over with a group of players.
Liu Xing pointed at the leader and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you act so rampantly here? You monopolize the hidden NPCs without authorization and collect money for them? Did you contribute anything to the NPC coming to Rongguang City?"
The leader sneered and said, "Humph! Tianxia Hegemony (loudly)! Do you think that you are the number one guild in the Heroic Soul World! You can bully our small guild at will? I tell you the truth! The anonymous post that announced the hidden NPC was posted by me, the leader of the Fourth Calamity Guild, Long Xiaoxiao!"
Qi Ge: ????
What did you say? Look at the bow of the Wood Elf in my hand. Say it again?
Meteor roared, "I see. I thought you were a good person . So this is what you were planning. First, announce the hidden NPC, then send people to surround her and gain something for nothing. You despicable villain!"
Meteor waved his hand and continued:
"I, Liu Xing, the vice president of the Tianxia Hegemony Guild (very loud), will never allow such a thing! The individual players of Rongguang City will definitely not allow it either!"
Long Xiaoxiao said with a playful smile: "No! Vice President Liuxing, in this way, you guys from Tianxiabaye Guild (super loud) can go in, and you don't have to worry about the others. "
Liu Xing said righteously: "My Tian Xia Hegemony Guild (Ultimate Loudest) is not for our own interests, but for all the players in Rongguang City. Don't even think about us going along with you! Brothers, follow me!"
“Go for it!!”
The members of Tian Xia Bai Ye Guild knocked the members of the Fourth Calamity Guild into combat mode one by one, and Liu Xing even faced Long Xiao Xiao personally , leaving the road clear.
"Tianxia Hegemony is really authentic in its actions."
"Yes, yes! As expected, it is the number one guild in the Heroic Soul World."
"I want to join Tianxia Hegemony! Not for anything else, just because they are willing to stand up for us individual players."
Qi Ge looked at the players in the crowd who were shouting loudly one after another, and his eyes gradually became weird.
A shill! They are all shills!
You guys are having fun in your quest for world domination!
Qi Ge recalled that Long Xiaoxiao was a very famous tycoon player in the previous life of Tian Xia Hegemony. He had high skills, cool operations, and was very rich.
His greatest achievement was going undercover in the Baichuan Yanyu Guild. Not only did he become the vice president, he also bribed a group of professional players to defect to Tianxia Baiye.
Are you taking advantage of the large number of players gathering in Glory City to direct and perform publicity here?
Actually cheating kind-hearted individual players! Despicable! Mean! Shameless!
An upright person like me, Qi Ge, disdains to associate with you!
You know what, after Tianxia Hegemony's move, Smith became even more well-known. Almost all players in Glory City knew that there was an NPC who collected food for 1 gold coin and 5 units.
Little Loli Smith's more than 5,000 gold coins soon ran out, and the marching rations piled up into a small mountain.
Seeing that it was almost done, Qi Ge spent 200 RMB to buy two pieces of fashion from the system: a thief's cloak and a thief's mask.
Putting on a cloak and mask to cover his ears and face, Qi Ge blended into the crowd and squeezed in front of Smith.
Since the special effects of the costume are only effective for players, in Smith's eyes, Qi Ge is still the same. Seeing Qi Ge nodding at her, Smith understood that it was the last step.
System prompt: Smith wants to trade 32,225 units of marching rations to you. Do you agree?
Oh shit! More than 30,000? Can't 2,000 gold coins only buy 10,000 march rations?
Does little Loli Smith have gold coins of her own?
Without time to think about it, Qi Ge waved his hand secretly, and more than 4,000 pieces of dry rations were put into the luggage by Qi Ge.
The seven pigeons brought the dry food to Li Xiaobai's camp and then went back to transport it. After nine round trips, the seven pigeons finally finished transporting the dry food.
Fortunately, I bought a large backpack with a load capacity of 500 from the traveling merchant fairy Ke Ruoke, otherwise I don’t know how long it would take to transport it.
Little Loli Smith also closed her stall. Following Qi Ge's instructions, she completely ignored the stupid players who were chasing her for hidden tasks, hid in the Knight Academy to get rid of them, and successfully reunited with Qi Ge.
Finally, it was time to celebrate. Smith shouted happily and threw himself on the rations, shouting, "Brother Qige, you are amazing! More than 30,000 rations are enough for the villagers to eat for a year!"
Qi Ge smiled triumphantly and submitted the task.
System prompt: Please select the submission quantity (maximum 32665).
Hmm? Qi Ge was stunned. All the rations for the march could be submitted? Including the ones that little Loli Smith bought with her own money?
The marching rations were submitted for 32,000. Qi Ge kept the remaining 665 and kept a little for himself, as the NPC goblin at home also needed it.
Congratulations to the player for completing the hidden mission: Smith's Trouble.
The mission reward is being calculated: The mission requires 2,000 units of food, a total of 32,000 units. Mission reward * 16
Mission Reward: Smith's Favorability 3*16, a total of 48 points. Smith's Favorability reaches 100 (Life and Death).
Wait? Something's wrong? Let me explain.
Smith bought the food with his own money and traded it to me. I submitted the task and gained Smith's favorability?
?
Little Loli Smith spent her own money to improve her favorability towards me?
You're paying me to get your own favorability for free?!
Wow! So I am the real master of fleecing the sheep? The wool comes from the sheep!
