Chapter 157: The Favorability of NPCs is Important
In the real world, if I refuse a colleague's offer of a drink, I won't lose, but in the game, I have to buy him a drink to achieve my goal.

After interacting with the NPCs in the game for a long time, the undead people slowly discovered that the NPCs were not stupid. On the contrary, they were very smart and could be tempted. If they were drunk, they would sometimes reveal a lot of information.

Just like the real person.

They are just naturally resistant to contact with the undead, but if the benefits are enough, they can still be pried open.

Finding out the preferences of every core NPC that the undead can reach has become something that they must do. Some people even made an "NPC Preference Strategy Code" on the forum, which specifically collects and organizes the preferences of key NPCs so that the undead can more easily conquer NPCs.

For example, Miss Miko is particularly fond of potion materials, and will smile at you as long as you give her potion materials crazily.

There is also Old Pete, who is particularly interested in new recipes. Helping him learn new dishes can occasionally yield unexpected rewards, including some unimportant but very precious little information from the lord.

Unfortunately, Miss Brittany is more difficult to deal with. Although she accepts the gift of potion materials, she will never give anything in return.

The easiest thing to gain is the favor of the lord. Some undead have already gained experience. As the "chief of the novice village", the lord is also very likely a "growth NPC", one of the "protagonists" of the main storyline of the game. He is naturally friendly to the undead.

You can chat with the lord by giving him props and gifts. Although he rarely reveals any information, when he does, it is often a very important hidden task.

Before, I received the task of capturing Prey Town from Lind because I knew that I would not lose.

The NPC swallowed and said, "I have heard of it, but the production of that thing is very low. I have to supply a few adults first, and then the great knights."

My ring will not lose and smiled: "You forget that I am an immortal. One of us is still working in the tavern."

The NPC was a little tempted: "If you can... ahem, I do know a little gossip..."

"Please wait!"

My Huanqu will not lose confidence and leave. What he has to do next is simple. He just needs to ask someone for some tofu.

Among the more than two hundred undead people, if there were anyone who must have delicious food, there would be two of them.

One is “@我宣你欧皓辰”, he used to run a pub food business, but he hasn’t been online very often in the past two days. It is said that he needs to work overtime, a poor worker.

No matter how powerful you are in the game, it is fake.

The second one is "@浪漫饭桶", who is good at eating and can even die for eating. However, what people care about most is her European emperor physique. Many people like to farm with her, and with her around, some precious materials will always drop.

It just so happened that he had good friends with both of them. After all, they were the first group of undead to join Star Dragon Outpost, and they cooperated and communicated with each other frequently.

Not long after, my ring will not lose and walked back confidently, and whispered to the NPC who issued the task: "Sir, you can go to the tavern and ask to take out the tofu that I summoned you, Ou Haochen. He also saved a bottle of wine."

Players who get familiar with NPCs can gain many small privileges.

It is said that there is another player in the territory who has a very good relationship with the clown dwarf Ludo and can often get some key information from him.

"Ahem," the NPC cleared his throat, "This isn't really a secret."

Seeing the NPC making an expression and gesture that said "I'm about to tell a secret", my friend, Huan Qu, who would not lose, immediately became serious.

Immersive game, easy to get into it.

"I overheard it last time. The plague has affected a wide area. Some of your undead lost control and went to the green grass of Star Pasture." The NPC pointed at my ring and said, "Lord Reed and his men were there at the time. They received orders from the lord to hunt down the undead infected by that thing." The NPC did not want to mention the "abyss", as if if he mentioned that name frequently, his body would be stared at by cracks that appeared out of nowhere.

"Then," he lowered his voice, even though no one was around, "the thing ran to the Star Mine in the north."

"A mine?"

"We trade ore with the mines, provide food, and then they exchange ore."

"and then?"

"That thing rushed in. I don't know what happened inside, but the great knights at the time immediately destroyed the mine and buried all those things inside, but they also cut off the connection with the Xingzi Mine." The NPC sighed: "We... are now short of a large amount of ore."

"I understand!" I am very happy that my ring will not lose.

Ore can be used to submit tasks to speed up the progress bar of the main city, but the mine that provides the ore was destroyed because the undead went crazy, causing the main city construction task to be inexplicably stuck.

It would be fine as long as no one dies and takes over the mining.

I am so smart!
He went to the stables and picked out his calamity horse using the number of the lion badge.

The ferocious warhorse only has the most basic equipment such as saddle, stirrups, horseshoes, etc., which is nothing compared to the degree to which a rich man next door armed his disaster warhorse to the teeth.

I won't lose. I jumped onto the horse and patted the horse's butt gently: "Go!"

The milky white sky was filled with unrest. The aftereffects of the calamity plague that broke out from the "mother" Lord Leon and eroded the area were still lingering, and the land, which was already devoid of vitality, became even more desolate.

The dirty land makes people feel uneasy. Occasionally, you can see mutated weeds growing tenaciously on both sides of the road. Their distorted appearance, like the growth caused by radiation after a nuclear war, makes people subconsciously keep a distance.

The cold wind shook the sawgrass leaves, which twitched and swayed like a ghost crawling on the ground, making a creaking and groaning sound.

The howling cold wind, the screaming wild grasses, and the extremely bizarre environment made the undead riding on horseback feel like they were escaping from a crisis. If they were even a step slower, they would die without a burial place.

After crossing a small slope and going around a hill, he successfully saw the crossroads of faith. The newly rebuilt road sign pointed straight into the sky, allowing people to identify their location from a long distance.

Ever since almost all the undead people obtained the Calamity Horses, the number of people in the horse-catching team has been reduced, and the majority of those remaining here seem to be maintaining the ecological balance of the Calamity Horses.

I rode my horse along the road to the north and soon saw the collapse site mentioned by the NPC.

The mine has collapsed and it is still unclear what is going on inside. It is not easy to dig a way out.

He dismounted and moved a few stones, but there were stones behind the stones and he could not find any gaps.

"That means the collapse was complete. At least one passageway was completely gone."

The abyssal monsters cannot survive for long. No matter what is in the mine, they must be dead by now.

But how to mine is also a problem.

My ring taker will not lose and did not hide the information he had obtained. Although he did want to come and see if he could gain any benefits at first, after realizing that it was impossible, he made a prompt decision and threw away the hidden task he had discovered.

[new! A hidden task for building the main city, a collapsed mine, where you can obtain a large amount of ore. Come quickly if you know how to mine!]
