This is a medium-sized restaurant. The simple and unpretentious decoration style makes you feel like you are at home. The dishes on the price list that you can see when you look up when you walk in are basically not too expensive. Some of them are similar to
The "Charcoal Grilled Earth Dragon Pork" dish is a little difficult to understand for normal people, but in general, it can be regarded as a more civilian restaurant that can be seen everywhere.
I don't know if it's the peak customer period, but the restaurant is almost full, leaving only a few empty seats in front of the bar.
It is worth noting that customers are not the type that you often see in real life. No, you may not see them occasionally. They are either wearing heavy armor or wearing various robes, and some are all in one piece.
The leather outfit that is very convenient for movement, coupled with the colorful hair, can easily make people think that they have traveled to medieval Europe.
Unfortunately, this is not the popular time travel, nor is it within the geographical scope of Europe, nor is it reality, but is in the virtual world of a large-scale game, "God's Domain", and of course all the people in it are avatars.
At this time, as a crisp sound sounded, the bell used in the restaurant to remind guests of the presence of guests was shaken continuously by the door that was pushed in. While attracting the attention of individual customers, it also made the restaurant owner standing at the bar reflexively
He looked towards the door.
The person who came here was a thief. The dagger on his waist and the leather armor on his body were enough to prove his identity. The ordinary face and dark red hair were really not outstanding, and it naturally made the customers who paid attention look away after taking one look.
On the contrary, the restaurant owner smiled and greeted him warmly.
"Hey, Scar, you're here."
"Yeah." Nodding, the thief player, Ye Shang, responded, and then he sat right in front of the bar as usual. There was no need for him to place an order, because his butt was not yet warm, so a cup of perfectly proportioned
The latte coffee was placed in front of him by the restaurant owner.
"Thank you." He said thank you out of habit. He picked up the coffee and took a sip with a satisfied look on his face. The coffee in this restaurant was indeed his favorite, and it was comparable to some professional coffee shops.
.
"Where's Shangji, Lan? Why didn't you see her? You didn't want to scare me with sneaking, did you?" After Ye put down the coffee with sadness and satisfaction, the restaurant owner came over and asked after greeting another customer,
The middle-aged man's face showed a mischievous expression.
Having said this, some people must think that the restaurant owner is played by the player. In fact, this is not the case. He is an NPC, but he is not just an NPC.
As an extremely finely crafted large-scale online game, environmental rendering is only one of the aspects of "God's Domain". This may be because the number of NPCs in "God's Domain" is much smaller than in other similar games. The degree of anthropomorphism of NPCs in "God's Domain" is extremely high.
Each NPC has much richer emotional expressions and has its own subjective judgment. It can be said that except for the fact that it cannot be resurrected after death, they are no different from players.
Ye Shang even remembers a post saying that some of the more critical NPCs are played by real people. Unfortunately, it is unknown whether this rumor is true.
"How is that possible?" After hearing the restaurant owner's question, Ye Shang smiled faintly, and then said helplessly, "Lan and the captain went on a war mission. It seemed that they were going to protect a supply point. It is estimated that she will spend the whole night tonight
You have to stay there all night.”
Just as Ye Shang said, the group leader Ao Cang accepted a team war mission to protect the border supply point, and Lan, as a group member, naturally had to follow him.
Protecting border supply points is the most common war mission at night during the war, and the rewards are quite generous. However, the difficulty is actually not that great. If there is no sneak attack, you can just stay at the mission location until tomorrow morning. If
If you are attacked by a sneak attack and successfully resist, you will get double rewards.
It's just that there is no business in the world that is guaranteed to make a profit, and high risks brought by high returns also exist.
If you are attacked by a sneak attack but fail to prevent the supply point being protected from being captured, you will be severely punished, enough to fall off the top of the honor list. This is also an extremely rare failure in all war missions.
One of the punishment tasks.
Moreover, when accepting the task of protecting supply points, there are certain requirements for the entire team, in order to prevent cheating and being delayed when being attacked by sneak attacks.
Such a setting is understandable. It is important to know that the loss of a supply point not only represents a huge disadvantage when fighting in a large territory, but also often has a chain reaction, and even gives the possibility of the enemy approaching the city.
.
Ye Shang knew that the leader Aocang was a very serious person who either did nothing or did his best. It was completely reasonable for him to accept the task of protecting the supply point. But in this way, he
It hurts.
I have to say that it is really difficult to spend a long night alone. Although Ye Shang spent most of the time alone before coming to the Ascart territory, the blame is because he has become accustomed to the nightlife with Lan by his side for more than a month.
Once I don't have it, I feel uncomfortable all over, always feeling like something is missing.
"Forget it, let's just practice alone until tomorrow morning as before." Thinking of his only friend in Ascart's territory far away from the border, Ye Shang took another sip of coffee, letting the bitterness spread in his mouth, and thought to himself
road.
"That's really a pity. I also want Lan to try the new ice cream and cakes in the store." The restaurant owner didn't know what decision Ye had made sadly. When he learned that Lan wouldn't show up tonight, he had a look on his face.
It was dim and dull, as if all meaning of life had been lost all at once.
This can only be said that Lan Tai is loved by everyone, not only the players, but also the NPCs are not immune to the disaster.
"This is easy to handle. I'll send her a message and I'm sure she will rush over as soon as the mission is over." Seeing the restaurant owner's reaction, Ye Shang said with a smile. With Lan's love for desserts, he knew there would be free desserts.
You can eat it, but you'd be damned if you didn't come over as soon as possible.
By the way, due to the unstable time, Ye Shang's agreement to treat Lan to desserts for a week was postponed until after the war.
"Then I'll trouble you." Ye Shang's words brought a smile back to the restaurant owner's face, and people couldn't help but sigh once again at the terrifying magic power possessed by this little girl Lan, who can easily affect the happiness of others even if she is not present.
Anger, sorrow and joy.
"It's okay." Ye Shang waved his hand and said.
After getting Ye Shang's promise to help tell Lan, the restaurant owner didn't say anything more and was busy greeting other customers. Night was the peak time for the number of people online in "God's Domain", and it was also the peak time for customers in most stores. This situation
It won't change until late at night.
But precisely for this reason, if players have nothing to do or want to make some extra money, they can choose to work in various shops.
When he first entered "God's Domain", Ye Shang had the experience of working in a store. In a month, he would often have a thousand yuan in cash, which was considered a considerable income for many players, not to mention only having only
I work at night, so there is never a shortage of part-time workers. Some players who specialize in practicing sub-professional skills but do not have high levels will also come to work part-time. After all, it is good to make a little money.
Of course, for today's Ye Shang, that is, players whose equipment levels are at the forefront, they look down upon this small amount of income.
After the restaurant owner left, Ye Shang took a sip of coffee and casually looked at the customers in the store to pass the time. This behavior cannot be said to be completely meaningless, at least it is good for cultivating his eyesight.
, if you can see the level and quality of the player's equipment at a glance, it will undoubtedly be of great help when performing some occasional PKs.
However, just by looking around like this, Ye Shang found someone among the customers that he had to pay attention to.
With dazzling blond hair, a tight-fitting leather armor, and an eye-catching giant bow as tall as half a man, this person is undoubtedly the heavy archer in the same team that Ye Shang has a little impression of. No, Ye Shang now has more than just respect for him.
It's just a slight impression.
The player obviously noticed Ye Shang. He didn't show any surprise or confusion. After casting a subtle and meaningful look at him, he stood up from his seat and left the restaurant.
Seeing the blond heavy archer walk out of the door, Ye Shang, who narrowed his eyes, took a rare gulp and drank up half of the coffee that was supposed to be enjoyed slowly. He did not say goodbye to the busy restaurant owner, but put down two gold coins on the bar.
He stood up and left the restaurant immediately...
