Just when he was about to make a move, Zhou Ning noticed that there were two more people behind a rock not far away.

These two people probably just came online. Even Zhou Ning was startled by them at first, thinking that he had encountered two super-powered people who appeared out of nowhere.

Then he heard the deliberately suppressed exclamations from behind the stone, and the opening line of "Dear audience, look who we have met? The legendary golden thigh!" Only then did he narrow his eyes and realize that the people hiding were two players, and even a streamer.

However, Zhou Ning did not specifically pull them out, but let them watch the whole process.

Popularity is very important at the beginning of the game. At this time, if a host shoots his entire battle from a candid perspective, it will give the audience an unparalleled sense of immersion, which is very helpful to his popularity.

Therefore, Zhou Ning deliberately did not say a word to the gloomy man from beginning to end, and chose to kill the gloomy man in the most overwhelming manner, striving to show his strength in front of the players.

This is a win-win situation.

Just as Zhou Ning finished speaking, there was a rustling sound behind the stone, and two players, a man and a woman, walked out.

The ID above the male player’s head is “Shifeng”, and the ID above the female player’s head is “Axia”. They are both wearing the standard three-piece suit for beginners.

Zhou Ning: ...

Don't think I don't understand! Are you being a hooligan?

It really caught me off guard. I never expected that even an NPC would be fed dog food?

The male player Shifeng came over with a smile on his face: "Boss, we didn't mean to peek. Look...is there anything we can help with?"

"Ah."

Zhou Ning finished searching for Wright Phillips' body and stood up.

The harvest was quite good. Wright still had nearly 1000 Victa and four special charms on him. According to Jasmine, they were well-crafted and cost between 4 and 300 Victa each. They were: Thorn, Imprisonment, Wave, and Flame. To activate them, one had to recite the corresponding ancient Faric language and communicate with them mentally.

In addition, Zhou Ning also found a manor pass and a nameplate similar to an ID card.

The residence is 49 Levia Street, a typical wealthy area.

Including the money from the super potion, this wave of robbery brought in over 10,000 Viktors. This Wright Phillips was truly a money-giving boy. Zhou Ning said he was delighted.

Even when looking at the two stupid players, a smile appeared on his face. He looked them up and down, edited a task and sent it to them.

Shi Feng was slightly startled when he saw the pop-up prompt on the panel:

"You have triggered the E-rank mission [Clean the Scene]. Due to an accident, you witnessed the protagonist Wayne Stewell killing an enemy. Help him clean up the scene and keep this secret. You will gain Wayne Stewell's favor."

The mission reward is 2000 experience points and 10 Roshen.

"Honey, do you want to answer it?" Axia asked quietly in Shifeng's ear.

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course I have to answer it!" Shi Feng was already in ecstasy at this time and said without hesitation.

Zhou Ning then leisurely watched them, umbrella in hand, busily cleaning up the scene. They'd managed to get a cloth bag from somewhere, stuff the body into it, and swiftly carried it away. Ten minutes later, they'd finally completed their task and returned happily.

Looking at their expectant eyes, Zhou Ning settled the task and said calmly, "Well done, adventurers. You've earned my basic trust. I'll be stopping by the Starlight Alchemy Shop at 17 College Street frequently for the next while. If you have any news about the Curse Cult, please come and tell me. Also, if you need anything, I can provide you with some merchandise."

As he spoke, he pulled up the item sales window and opened it to the two players. More importantly, he wanted to show his livestream audience that compared to when it was first opened to XB over a month ago, Zhou Ning had added many more items, such as alchemical potions, ordinary super potions, the Wandering Gunner's job transfer book and most of his skills, various ordinary firearms exchanged for reputation from the Sun Guardians, and a large amount of ammunition.

He also put a finished devil fruit there, which was set at 800 Vectas. Compared with the last time when it was just a pie in the sky, he is now ready to sell the devil fruit in large quantities, but he is not going to sell it at a loss.

At this time, the barrage in Shifeng's live broadcast room had gone crazy.

Although XB had live-streamed Zhou Ning’s personal store before, the many extra things this time drove the audience crazy.

"Fuck..."

"Fuck! There are so many cheap guns here! The cheapest pistol is less than 3 Viktors! Is this charity?"

"The price of using the Stone Mask has also dropped. Now it only costs 50 Victa per use. I calculated that based on the current exchange rate of 1 Victa to 400 Yuan, I only need to invest 20000 Yuan to become a vampire. I'll be able to take off in a matter of minutes..."

"What are you dreaming about? You dare to buy currency from the trading platform? Most of the currency sellers are all over the mainland. There are very few near Docklands. You're going to fly over there to trade?"

"Get out of the way! I'm going to pee yellow, I'm going to wake him up... No! Shut up! Ah! Shut up!"

"23333, that's enough for you upstairs."

"You guys have absolutely no idea about the power of money. As far as I know, it's only the second day of the public beta, and there are already at least 10 players with deposits exceeding 50 Vectra..."

"Wait, am I the only one who noticed that the job transfer price has dropped too? Now it only costs 12 Vekta to transfer to the Wandering Gunner!"

"Fuck, go go go, I'm going to learn it!"

Shifeng and Axia whispered to each other for a while, pooled their money, and Shifeng bought a cheap revolver and chose a skill to learn.

[Your Japanese Guardian Standard Revolver has been sold! You received 3 Vectra 7 Roshen]

[Your general skill [Shooting Mastery] has been learned. You gain 2000 experience points and 10 Roshen.]

[Your general skill [Dodge] has been learned, you gain 3000 experience and 15 Roshen]

I hadn't expected these two to be so wealthy. After watching them reluctantly leave, Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes. All the bait had been cast, and now it depended on whether the players would take the bait.

And tomorrow is the time to witness the results.

Zhou Ning exhaled, feeling refreshed. He knew the player's personality very well. Being an NPC was like a relationship between a man and a woman: the more one gave, the deeper their obsession. Whether he could lure the player into giving more depended on his own ability.

……

Zhou Ning walked through the heavy mud, holding an umbrella. He took out his pocket watch with his left hand and shook it off to check the time. It was not yet 10 p.m. According to intelligence, the Rivers family had a manor nearby. How about... go over and take a look?

The Rivers family estate was not far from here, less than 20 minutes away. It was a vast estate with vast lawns, hills, ponds, and extremely spacious gardens.

Through the iron bars, Zhou Ning saw a large number of guards patrolling the gate. The security was quite strict.

Zhou Ning stood in the shadows, thought for a moment, mixed a strand of Wright's hair into the transformation potion, and drank it.

The effect was quite good. In a blink of an eye, Zhou Ning turned into that gloomy man. Even his clothes and the wrinkles on his face were exactly the same as that of the gloomy man. It was simply unscientific.

This transformation effect will last for one hour before disappearing automatically.

Zhou Ning put away his umbrella and walked into the manor with a calm expression.
