Chapter 70
Bing Ning'er walked while fiddling with the map of Los Angeles City in her hand that she had just bought from a wandering NPC. Originally, after she received the S-level bounty order, she had planned to go directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
But after walking a short distance, she realized that she had no idea the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. And if she just ran over there in plain sight, could she sneak into the City Lord's Mansion?
After thinking about this series of problems, Bing Ning'er quickly suppressed her eagerness to complete the task, turned around and walked towards where there were more players. She took out some food that she had packed at the restaurant as a favor, and randomly found a player who looked more greedy, and exchanged the food in her hand for some reliable information.
As for why Bing Ning'er knew that the other person was a greedy guy, it was because of his round body and the chicken leg he was obviously still gnawing on in his hand. It was not difficult to see that the player seemed to be really greedy.
So when Bing Ning'er was at a distance, she immediately picked out the fat man with greasy face as the person to inquire about.
Looking at the greedy player in front of her eating the donkey rolls she had packed, and then explaining to her the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and a series of rules of that place with saliva flying, Bing Ning'er secretly took a step back, then thanked him, turned around and left, preparing to run towards the City Lord's Mansion.
On the way to the City Lord's Mansion, Bing Ning'er saw a man with a tattered hat sitting on the street, muttering something, "Don't miss it if you pass by, there is the most comprehensive map here! This is a must-have for going out and robbing houses , everyone come and take a look!"
When Bing Ning'er heard what that person said, her first reaction was that this game really has all kinds of people. How could someone set up a stall here to cheat people? Why not set up a fortune-telling stall to tell people's fortunes?
You have to know that in this Shengyu game, there are very few real maps, and the price is very expensive, why would someone set up a stall here and shout casually? People who have maps probably sent them directly to the auction house, so this scammer is obviously not very smart.
Bing Ning'er passed by the man with a look of contempt, but after she had taken a few steps, she suddenly stopped and frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, or as if she was filled with deep doubts.
After a long while, Bing Ning'er finally remembered what confused her. She quickly turned around and walked towards the man who was shouting just now.
When Bing Ning'er stood in front of the man again, she stared at the top of his head. After a long while, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she asked softly with a smile on her face: "Excuse me, what maps do you have here? Do you have a detailed map of the City Lord's Mansion in Luo City?"
The man, who was wearing a tattered hat , heard a crisp female voice next to his ear. He looked up slightly and saw a pair of small feet in white short boots selling things at his stall. He looked up along the feet and saw Bing Ning'er. When he saw her face, the man's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange light flashed quickly under his eyelids that had drooped again.
Just when Bing Ning'er thought that the man was not paying attention to her, she heard him lazily ask in a hoarse voice: "I'm not afraid that I don't have the goods, I'm afraid that you don't have the money!"
Upon hearing this, Bing Ning'er's face froze, and the corners of her mouth twitched fiercely for a few times, but she still held back her violent emotions. After brewing for a long time, she smiled stiffly and asked, "Excuse me, how much do you want?" Are all NPCs nowadays so greedy for money? First, the NPC Ferlock was so greedy that he had to make an account book to record it when I borrowed ten gold coins from him. As a result, when I met an NPC selling things, he also looked like he only cared about money and not people?
That’s right, the man in front of her, whom Bing Ning’er originally thought was a liar, was actually an NPC.
Bing Ning'er had already walked past him, but suddenly she remembered the quick glance she took when she passed by just now. She saw that the man had a bright green title on his head, and his name was a question mark.
Before she started playing the game today, she happened to check the game's official website for information. When she glanced at it, she saw some special mobile NPCs. Sometimes they would only show their job titles, and their names would be marked with green or red question marks. Usually, such NPCs would either have special quests to take or good things to sell.
So when Bing Ning'er turned around and saw the words "Mysterious Merchant: ???" on the man's head, her heart trembled with excitement. Especially when she saw that the question marks were green, she was even more excited, as if she had seen that she had bought a treasure from him.
It turns out that this mysterious NPC doesn't care how excited you are. From his tone, it seems that you can have the picture, but you can't have no money.
Bing Ning'er stood there with a stiff face, but she was secretly calculating how many gold coins she had in her pocket and whether she could buy the map from the mysterious merchant. Especially at the beginning, that guy Yu Ye ate up so many of her gold coins, and she didn't have much left now.
When the male NPC who was setting up the stall heard Bing Ning'er asking him how much he wanted, he slowly stood up from the ground, changed from lying to sitting, and then reached out to pat the tattered hat on his head and said in a nonchalant tone: "The detailed map of the Luocheng City Lord's Mansion is 20,000 gold coins, no bargaining! It can definitely help you avoid the guards' sight, a good product for a thief."
Pfft... a good thief? ?
Bing Ning'er hadn't reacted yet, but Yu Ye on her shoulder couldn't help but secretly spit out a mouthful of blood. It was strange enough to unexpectedly meet a wandering NPC here. The name on his head was a mysterious merchant, but what he sold was maps, which was already weird enough. As a result, he actually had a map of his own city of Luo. Isn't that map only available to the city lord?
You know, Yu Ye clearly remembered that when he was not summoned by Bing Ning'er at the beginning, the map was still in his backpack as a player, right? Where did this NPC get the map to sell?
And he actually said it was a good product for thieves, wow!!! If there really was such a map, if he sold it to outside players for a few more points, then his own city lord's mansion would be in big trouble.
What should I do now? Should I just let Bing Ning'er buy all those maps? But does she have that much money?
Yu Ye suddenly began to reflect. If he had known that Bing Ning'er needed money, he should not have given her a good beating in the beginning. What should he do now? ? ?
Bing Ning'er didn't know what Yu Ye was thinking at the moment. When she heard that he wanted 20,000 gold coins, her face was already wrinkled like a bun. 20,000 gold coins!!! Wow, how much money is that? ?
You know, the total reward for the S bounty mission is only 50,000 coins. If she buys a map, it will cost 20,000 coins. Wouldn't that be a huge loss? And does having a map guarantee the success of the mission?
Even if she succeeds, she doesn't have 20,000 gold coins right now? ?
After pondering for a while, Bing Ning'er bit her lower lip and asked, "Is 20,000 gold coins too expensive? How about 1,000 gold coins?"
As a result, as soon as she said this, not only did the mysterious merchant on the ground look down on her, but even Yu Ye rolled his eyes in disdain. Is there anyone who bargains so exaggeratedly? She actually gave him 20,000 gold coins and directly bargained down to 1,000 gold coins. It would be strange if he could sell it to her!
But what made Yu Ye speechless was that after hearing Bing Ning'er's bargaining, the mysterious businessman looked at her with contempt, but he kept saying, "It's not impossible to sell it to you for one thousand gold coins!"
No way, are you really selling it?
Yu Ye staggered and fell directly from Bing Ning'er's shoulder. When he was about to fall to the ground, he quickly flapped his wings and flew back to Bing Ning'er's shoulder again.
Bing Ning'er's eyes lit up, and she immediately squatted down and looked at the mysterious merchant NPC, asking in disbelief: "Really? Give me the map, I'll buy it."
The mysterious businessman took the hat off his head, fanned himself with the torn hat, and said calmly, "Wait... Don't be in a hurry, I have a condition."
"Conditions?" Bing Ning'er was stunned. When you spend money to buy something, the other party has to make conditions. This is not right, right?
The mysterious businessman seemed not to notice Bing Ning'er's darkened face. He said slowly, "I can sell you the map of the City Lord's Mansion in Luo City for one thousand gold coins. I can even give you a map of the 'Bone Burial Island' as a gift, but you have to do me a favor."
When Yu Ye heard this, he looked incredulous. No way? Did this woman encounter another mysterious mission?
"What's the matter?" Bing Ning'er asked very cautiously. You know, after she accepted the task from Ferroc, she clearly remembered that she was deceived into accepting the task, so now she must be cautious in accepting tasks.
"Don't worry, this task will be very simple for you and you can definitely complete it." The mysterious businessman lowered his eyes with a cunning look in his eyes, but his tone was relaxed as he comforted Bing Ning'er.
After the mysterious businessman said this, a familiar system prompt sounded beside Bing Ning'er's ears:
System prompt: Player 'Bing Ning'er, do you accept the task commission from the 'Mysterious Merchant'? Please select Yes or No.
What the hell? They didn't even tell me what the mission was, and they asked me to take it?
Bing Ning'er's face darkened and she directly chose no. Then she gritted her teeth and asked, "You didn't even tell me what the favor is. I can't agree to it."
