There are some dilapidated houses everywhere in the village.
Some of those houses are empty, while others are occupied by NPCs.
Many players are chatting with NPCs one after another, trying to get some tasks from them.
Cuihua is no exception. There are also many novice players gathered outside her house.
Coming closer, Ye Huan looked at the green flowers.
This is a rather pretty woman, dressed simply, with a dilapidated small house behind her, which is her home.
At this moment, Cuihua is eating wild vegetables in front of her house.
Whenever a player approaches to strike up a conversation, Cuihua will say an NPC-style opening line.
"Dear adventurers, I don't need your help. You can go elsewhere."
When the players saw that there were no quests to take, they complained and left.
"What are you doing! He can't even give us a mission, this NPC is too stingy."
"That's right, let's find other NPCs to try."
Ye Huan also stepped forward to strike up a conversation with Cuihua, and received the same NPC-style opening remarks.
"Dear adventurers, I don't need your help. You can go elsewhere."
"Cuihua, it was the wandering merchant who asked me to come."
Ye Huan's words made Cuihua stop her movements.
Cuihua slowly raised her head, her face looked very complicated, with surprise and anxiety.
This made Ye Huan say in his heart: This game is made just like the real thing, even the NPCs have emotional changes on their faces.
"Did he ask you to come to me? Why didn't he come himself? Where is he now?"
Cuihua directly asked three questions.
Ye Huan didn't expect the NPCs in the game to have such real emotions.
The green flowers in front of me are like a wronged girl
"Well..., he said he left and asked you to find a good man to marry."
"have they gone?"
Cuihua lowered her head, her voice suddenly choked with sobs.
"Then did he say when he would be back?"
"No, he said he wanted to wander and collect treasures from all over the world."
Ye Huan told the truth and conveyed all the words of the wandering merchant to Cuihua.
After hearing this, Cuihua squatted down, covered her face and cried. The more she cried, the sadder she became.
It simply makes those who listen to it cry and those who see it are moved.
The movement of Cuihua here immediately attracted the attention of other players.
"What did this man do? He actually made Cuihua cry!"
"A cuckold is not a good person at first glance. He must have bullied Cuihua!"
"Tsk, tsk, what a beast! Even female NPCs are not spared!"
When the players' comments came to his ears, Ye Huan wanted to die.
What do you mean he bullied a female NPC?!
He just performed a task and helped spread the word.
I see more and more players pointing around.
Ye Huan quickly said to Cuihua: "Cuihua, please stop crying now, there are so many people watching."
Unexpectedly, Cuihua stopped crying after Ye Huan said a word.
But although she stopped crying, she did something even more surprising.
After Cuihua wiped away her tears, she took Ye Huan's hand and dragged him into the house.
immediately……
boom!
She even closed the door!
"Huh? What kind of fun is this?"
The players who were watching the excitement were instantly dumbfounded.
"what's the situation?"
"I'll go! Is this guy hooking up with Cuihua?"
"Tsk, tsk, I just want to know what they went in for?"
"I'm so envious! I also want to develop and develop with female NPCs!"
Many shameless players came to the door, trying to find a crack in the door to see what was going on inside the house.
Unfortunately, players can't see anything outside.
Inside the house.
Ye Huan was also a little dumbfounded.
Looking at Cuihua who had closed the door and walked towards him, he felt a little embarrassed when he spoke.
"That... Cuihua! Don't act recklessly. We are not from the same world. Although I know I am handsome, but..."
Before Ye Huan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cuihua.
"Let me ask you, when did you see him? And where did you see him?"
The person Cuihua refers to naturally refers to the wandering businessman.
Ye Huan did not expect that the NPC settings in this game were so humane, almost no different from real people.
I recalled the approximate location.
Ye Huan told Cuihua everything that needed to be said, such as when and where he saw the wandering merchant.
After listening, Cuihua lowered her head again, as if she was hesitating.
At this moment, Ye Huan has completely forgotten that Cuihua is an NPC, and instead communicates with her as a living person.
"Cuihua, judging by the time, he should have left this village by now."
"I know."
Cuihua nodded, hesitation flashing in her eyes.
Seeing this, Ye Huan casually asked: "Is there something you don't know how to make a decision? You can tell me. I am very willing to help you."
Cuihua sighed and said, "I want to find him and wander with him, but..."
Speaking of this, Cuihua showed a trace of embarrassment on her face, and then continued: "But I... don't have any money."
money for the journey?
Ye Huan was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized that the expense should refer to money.
"Oh? How much do you need?" Ye Huan asked.
"Fifty gold coins."
Cuihua slowly raised a hand.
At the same time, an options panel appeared in front of Ye Huan.
[Cuihua wants to pursue happiness, but urgently needs 50 gold coins as payment. Please choose from the following three options. 】
Option 1: Give her 50 gold coins for free
Option 2: Don’t give it even if you have money
Option 3: Lend her 50 gold coins
After reading the options, Ye Huan couldn't help but frown.
He knew that the key point of the hidden mission was coming!
The three options definitely represent three different results.
According to Ye Huan’s understanding of the game.
In this case, most people will choose the first option and give Cuihua 50 gold coins for free.
Players have become accustomed to pleasing NPCs and want to get some tasks from NPCs.
But……
Giving away 50 gold coins for nothing seems too uneconomical.
If the mission reward is not worth 50 gold coins, isn’t that a big loss?
So after much deliberation, Ye Huan finally chose a compromise option.
"I choose...to lend her 50 gold coins!"
[Ding dong! You already have the potential to become a qualified rich man. Activate the rich man’s exclusive function, a financial assistant.]
Ye Huan didn't wait to find out what the financial assistant was.
The prompts from the game system started ringing again.
[Ding dong! Congratulations on completing the first step of the hidden mission of the wandering merchant. Reward: Level 1, 100 gold coins. Items obtained: a title deed of the dilapidated house in Novice Village No. 888]
"Dear adventurer, thank you so much. I guess I won't come back again, so I will give this room to you."
As Cuihua said, she took out a land deed from her body and handed it to Ye Huan.
And then.
She took the package she packed up at some point and left with the 50 gold coins she borrowed from Ye Huan.
Until Cuihua opened the door and walked out.
Only then did Ye Huan react.
He quickly clicked on the game panel and found a new function in a corner.
