Chapter 6 Double-sided Pisi and Argo

In this case, Crounpis was recognized by the system as an NPC with AI equivalent to human intelligence and was active.

His identity is - Krampis Lilith Radius, the king of the fairies who was originally in charge of the forest fairies, wind fairies, dark fairies and other fairies.

Crownpis would like to emphasize here that the strange last name at the end was generated by the system itself and has nothing to do with her.

Due to the consequences of the change in her character's original normal world into Aincrad, coupled with betrayal and slander, she was forced to flee and live in seclusion at the bottom of Aincrad. She used part of the money she brought out to live in this city.

I bought a big house in a small town and lived an ordinary life for a while.

Her mannerisms and some of the hidden furnishings and decorations in the house will give some hints to people with gamer brains.

By the way, in the end she offered a 20/50 discount, which was obviously watched by several players.

After all, when the player goes to buy something, no matter what the dialogue is, only a format dialog box and menu that cannot be modified will pop up in the end. The price is fixed, and it is the player's freedom to buy or not.

"Do NPCs have such privileges?"

"That's just a scene that seems to be realistic. If you don't care about it, you'll lose."

There are people who are justifiably talking about it.

"This is 375 kel."

“Thank you for your patronage.”

Crownpis took the big basket filled with things from the shopkeeper and started home.

"Being followed..." She rolled her eyes back slightly.

This is not surprising. Many NPCs cannot speak much and are dull. It is probably due to the cost of AI. Therefore, there is a high possibility that NPCs that behave more like humans will trigger plots and tasks. In fact, she just stayed here.

I was besieged several times when I was a kid, and there were times when my home was rummaged through——

The result was that she beat them away with a kitchen knife while reporting to the guards, so that the players who broke into her house and tried to find treasure chests or trigger the plot were captured and imprisoned. Of course, this kind of thing didn't just happen to her.

There are also players who violently resisted the law and were killed by guards in other places. Until this kind of information was listed in the information book regularly distributed for free to anonymous original beta testers, the majority of players complained that Kayaba Akihiko had ruined the game world.

Why do you have to be so realistic and settle down at the same time?

Even so, people who are secretly observing and trying to pinpoint the opportunity to trigger the mission will occasionally show up.

But this time it was different. A skill like [Stealth] was used, which obviously had an ulterior motive.

She returned to her yard, looked around cautiously, then turned around and said seriously: "Who is he? He doesn't look like a guest, come out. Or are you an assassin sent by which party?"

A short female player wearing a cloak behind the fence was startled. At the same time, a three-choice dialog box of "Quest/Conversation/Leave" popped up in front of her.

"Originally, my purpose was to use [Hidden] as her tenant (player), but did it trigger a plot that no one could trigger?"

It was public information that the hostess of this house had chopped the player with a kitchen knife. Considering what she just said, leaving might lead to a chase. It would not be safe to accept the task rashly without preparation and intelligence, so she clicked "Conversation" and bypassed

The fence goes into the courtyard.

"Show your face and tell me your name." Crownpis continued to press.

The player glanced at the cursor that appeared above Crounpisi's head. The identification color was black and red (very high-level NPCs entered a hostile combat state), with an exclamation mark (can trigger tasks). Usually there are players in the town who are immune to harm.

Protection, but there are still several situations where you will be harmed: players duel, trigger combat plot missions, attack NPCs or commit other crimes and then be attacked by self-defense counterattacks or guards, especially in the first few days of the game, death due to the third reason

There are hundreds of players.

She secretly thought that if it was an NPC, it would be okay to follow the rules of not attacking proactively. She put down her hood, revealing her flaxen hair and moderately cute face, and said: "I am Argo, and I have something to discuss with your tenant.

, I’m sorry for the misunderstanding.”

Crownpis immediately put away his previous momentum and said with a fake smile: "Really, don't do something that can easily cause misunderstandings next time. My tenants have gone to explore and hunt monsters in the wild during the day, and they will come back sometimes.

It will be earlier, sometimes until midnight or even early in the morning. What do you think, do you want to stay first? The food cooked by my family is cheap and delicious."

A menu of various services from hotel to meal popped up in front of Argo.

Broadly speaking, this is both an inn and not an inn. In fact, in addition to some places marked with "inn" where people can stay, Aincrad also has many NPC houses that can be moved in for other reasons by triggering dialogue and plots. Some kind of

In a sense, it is equivalent to a hotel, and the process of activating the housing is the same as that of a hotel. However, there is no store name, and the system map will never be marked. In the absence of a city map similar to the reality where every location is marked in detail, it is issued.

, more difficult to find.

This is indeed cheaper than ordinary hotels and restaurants. In order to save money and collect more information here, I clicked "Rent".

"Please confirm the rental time."

There is a scroll bar after the dialog box, the minimum is ninety-nine days, you can select a room, but there is no "Cancel" option.

Argo thought she was "cheated". It was still inconvenient for her to have a fixed place, so she had no choice but to choose the lowest credit time and the cheapest single room.

At this time, another girl with a maroon ponytail on the back of her head ran over in a panic. She passed the two people who were evading by reflex and ran into Cronpis' house.

"Hey..."

"Is she your tenant? Can I talk to her?" Argo asked.

"Please do it, but don't bother me by fighting. The daily meal time is fixed. There is still one hour before dinner time. I will prepare it now. If you miss the time, there will be no refund."

"knew."

Watching Argo enter the house, Crownpis walked around the backyard and entered the kitchen, thinking: "In the end, we still met someone who was not a part-timer. Do we have to try to add some powerful passers-by?"

Crounpisi started to deal with the ingredients. Ever since Zhu Cai helped her solve the problem, cooking has become one of her current interests. It was still very interesting before she got bored.

At the same time, she also called up the player list during this period.

What’s strange is that at the beginning of the death game, with so many deaths, there are still players falling into the trap from time to time. Now “Sword Art Online” has been completely banned, and only the last batch of inventory that should have been destroyed is still being sold on the black market.

, it seems that even a death game still has charm.

However, you must know that whether it is nervgear or other compatible hardware, it can monitor human body conditions to a certain extent, and Crounpis has a way to confirm its basic identity.

See if there are any surprises.
