Chapter 70 The Attraction of Purple
After Mo Guanji ran away, Lu Xun got into the carriage leisurely.
Ji Li and Murong Yan did not ask any further questions, they just thought that the junior uncle-master saw injustice and was trying to save someone.
Lu Xun didn't say much and closed his eyes to rest in the carriage.
He didn't say anything about going into the city, so Murong Yan and Ji Li naturally wouldn't act on their own.
Lu Xun really didn't want to go into the city for the time being, he was too eye-catching.
The color of the name written on his NPC template information has changed to purple. Since the template information has turned purple, the color that players see must also be purple.
In the early stage of the game, players would wag their tails like pugs when they saw a yellow-named NPC. But a purple-named NPC like him would cause a sensation in the later stage of the game!
There is no way, after all, the color of the name depends on the identity. Although Lu Xun's rank is not high, his status is there. Shen Yan is a purple name. As Shen Yan's junior uncle, can he be a blue name or a yellow name?
At this moment, Lu Xun was studying some of his own functions.
After he issued the task to Mo Guanji, he could check the progress of the task. At the same time, the ten taels of silver in his storage ring had been locked.
“Isn’t ten taels of silver a bit too much?” Lu Xun thought to himself.
He suddenly understood why Shen Yan was so stingy. One really doesn't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are until one manages the household.
Having said that, he now has a quota of 2,000 experience points a day, which is a lot in the early stages.
But this is only enough to train a relatively small number of players.
If you want a large group of players to work hard for you, the experience value will be a little less.
"I still need to upgrade more. The higher the level, the higher the amount that can be opened." Lu Xun said in his heart.
At the same time, he discovered that by contacting Mo Guanji, he had also unlocked two NPC functions, namely, adjusting favorability and teaching techniques and skills.
“I can try adjusting the favorability for a while, but it’s really difficult to teach skills and techniques.” Lu Xun closed his eyes and thought.
After all, he doesn't know many skills and techniques now, and they are all relatively advanced. Even the simplest "Eating Breath Art" is definitely a good thing in the early stages of the game.
The most important thing is that "The Art of Eating Breath" is the internal practice of the Demon Sect, and not all players are qualified to join a large sect like the Demon Sect.
All players want to join the four major righteous sects and the three major evil sects, but in reality, most of the players can only join some mid-level sects, or even small sects.
Now, to Lu Xun, players are like cabbages in a roadside stall, and he can pick and choose them.
"I almost forgot, didn't I also learn the 'Eagle Finger'?" Lu Xun remembered that before he went to the Demon Sect, he obtained a secret book by stealing corpses and learned a very flexible finger technique.
In the early stages of the game, this thing can be taught to players at will. It is a grey-level skill that does not require experience points to learn, which is just right.
But when he imagined that large group of players walking and hooking their fingers unconsciously, as if they were picking something in the air, he found it very eye-catching.
“Who cares? Whether the picture is beautiful or not is none of my business. It’s enough for me to be beautiful on my own.” Lu Xun quickly convinced himself.
He looked outside the carriage and thought to himself, "I wonder what kind of guinea pig this Mo Guanji can help me find?"
…
…
On the other side, Mo Guanji followed the instructions on the map and ran into Tong County as fast as possible.
Other players should have already entered Tong County to do novice tasks.
Tong County is not big, but it is not small either. He came in so late, and it was difficult to find other players. After all, there are only a few internal test players.
As he walked on the bluestone road in Tong County, he couldn't help but once again marvel at the fine production of "Tian Chen".
"This production is truly world-class!" Mo Guanji felt like he had traveled through time.
As he walked, the first players he met were Zhuo Houyi and Li Wanji.
Zhuo Houyi is enthusiastically moving goods for a peddler. This should be the first novice task he has received.
Li Wanji, who designed her own look like a Barbie doll, was sitting in a pub opposite, wiping tables.
The sturdy man seemed to know a little bit of Errenzhuan, with one finger raised and the rag spinning non-stop in his hand.
Mo Guanji looked at him, and then thought of the phrase "busy with all kinds of affairs", so he decisively avoided Li Wanji, decided to stay away from him, and walked towards Zhuo Houyi, with whom he had a pleasant contact before.
The nickname Zhuo Houyi shows that he is a real man!
What's more, this person is enthusiastic and cheerful, and he is also a player from a big guild. If I follow him to conquer that big shot, maybe we can make faster progress!
Well, Zhuo Houyi is obviously the best choice!
He quickly walked behind Zhuo Houyi and helped him carry the peddler's goods.
Zhuo Houyi was stunned for a moment, and kindly reminded him: "Brother, I have received a mission, which will give me experience points and silver. I am very touched that you are helping me, but you will not get anything."
Look, what a nice person he is. He knows how to put himself in other people's shoes and doesn't have any airs of a player from a big guild. He will definitely be a great partner!
That’s how friendships were established.
The gay love between men sometimes comes so inexplicably.
"It's like this, because I received a mission, and the mission requires me to bring another helper back, so I thought of helping you complete the mission quickly first, and then ask you if you are willing to go with me." Mo Guanji explained.
Upon hearing this, Zhuo Houyi immediately became interested.
"Sure, brother. This is obviously a serial task! In our novice period, serial tasks are very popular. This represents continuous experience income. Can you tell me, what is the reward for this task?" Zhuo Houyi said with a hearty smile.
"Ten taels of silver." Mo Guanji replied truthfully.
"Not bad, ten taels of silver is a lot, this NPC is good!" Zhuo Houyi also became excited and immediately asked: "How many experience points does it have?"
"Ah? No... no experience points." Mo Guanji said.
Zhuo Houyi frowned slightly when he heard this and said, "Brother, according to my years of experience, many games are shitty, and some NPCs are even shittier! Some chain quests are boring and long, with very little rewards in the early stages, and only when you complete the last link will you get rich rewards. Your quest doesn't even give you any experience points, I suspect it's one of those."
He patted Mo Guanji on the shoulder and said, "It's not a problem to accept this kind of mission on weekdays, but we are in internal testing now, and we need to make more efficient attempts as much as possible to obtain more useful information. Doing this kind of serial mission is not a particularly good choice."
Mo Guanji listened to Zhuo Houyi's patient explanation and felt that this person was particularly reliable, so he threw out his trump card and said, "But... the person who issued the task is named Purple."
"No matter what the nickname is... Hey! Wait, what color did you just say!?" Zhuo Houyi was shocked.
If I heard correctly, he just said purple?
Purple, a color that can make sand sculpture players kneel down and lick their asses.
