Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

after a while.

Lin Chen came alone to an NPC residence in the Emerald Paradise.

From a distance, Lin Chen could feel the heat of the furnace. When he got closer, he found that in a certain direction of a huge flower bed, steam from the furnace was rising into the sky, and red flames were scattered from the top of the furnace with little tongues of fire.

It was not a particularly large stall. In addition to the running furnace, there was a pile of equipment not neatly stacked, as well as various refining materials.

There was a table right in front of the stall, and some of the scattered melon seeds on the table had fallen to the ground.

Lin Chen was about to go forward, but when he saw several players in front of the stall, he was not in a hurry.

A few minutes later, a familiar figure walked over from the stove. She was wearing thick gloves and holding a helmet in her hands.

"Okay, it's upgraded to level 4."

After saying that, she threw it directly onto the table, making a tinkling sound.

"Hey, slow down!" A soldier quickly stepped forward and carefully held the helmet in his arms: "You NPC, why are you so rude?"

"Is it your business?" Xiaoyun took off his gloves and picked at the food on the table with his slender fingers. Finally, he picked up two melon seeds and put them in his mouth. "Stop talking nonsense. It's 1.3 gold coins in total. Give me the money."

The soldier was startled.

"Fuck, you're a scam!" He stared at the helmet in disbelief. "It's only been upgraded to level 4, and you want a gold coin from me?!"

"Correction, it's one gold coin plus 30 silver coins." Xiaoyun spat a mouthful of melon seed shells towards where the warrior was. "I'm the only reinforcement technician in this main city. If you think my place is too expensive, you can go to another main city."

As soon as these words were spoken, the soldier's face began to change.

He was looking behind him, as if looking for a suitable opportunity.

"Let me kindly remind you that if you 'dine and dash' when trading with NPCs in the Land of the Hunting God, you'll be blacklisted." Xiaoyun sat down on the stool, her long legs resting on the table. "If that happens, every enhancement technician in the main city of the Land of the Hunting God will refuse to do business with you. You'd better think carefully."

These players had never seen an NPC threaten them in person. In their memories, all the NPCs in the low-level main cities were harmless, and they kept muttering words like "the great chosen one".

For a moment, the soldier was speechless.

Some onlookers who originally planned to strengthen their equipment took a look at the account balance of their backpacks and quickly left.

In the end, the soldier, who had no idea what to do, was in a dilemma.

"I don't have that much money!" The soldier gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think we should do?"

The warrior was also desperate. He even handed the helmet back and said, "If it doesn't work, reset its enhancement level to zero. I won't enhance it anymore."

Xiaoyun smiled coldly and was about to say something.

A masked man walked up from behind the soldier.

"Brother, how much money do you need?"

The masked man put his hand on the other's shoulder and asked softly.

The warrior was already feeling aggrieved, and when someone came over to talk to him, he burst into tears: "I only have 80 silver coins on me right now, and this woman immediately asked for one silver coin and 30 gold coins. I... where can I get so much money? If it cost so much, I wouldn't come here to strengthen myself! Damn it, I ran into a scam!"

The masked man nodded and said, "Give me all the money you have. I'll pay the rest for you."

As he said that, he picked up the helmet on the table and handed it to the soldier, then looked up and said to Xiaoyun.

"How about it?"

Xiaoyun was stunned. She retracted her legs somewhat unnaturally, then stuffed the melon seeds in her hand back into her pocket.

I didn't expect this man to come back from Earth so soon...

Has he...completed the commission I gave him?

"Okay... okay." Xiaoyun replied softly and nodded.

The soldier also breathed a sigh of relief. He seemed to have accepted his fate and threw all the money in his backpack onto the table with a sigh.

After doing all this, he clasped his fists towards the masked man with a hint of gratitude and said, "Brother, add me as your friend. I'll pay you back later."

But the other party didn't care and just waved at him: "It's okay, leave quickly, so that this black-hearted boss lady won't continue to ask you for money."

Upon hearing this, the soldier hurriedly hugged his helmet, thanked him repeatedly, and left in a flash.

……

The surrounding players stopped approaching, and only Lin Chen was left standing in front of the stall.

Without waiting for Xiaoyun to say anything, Lin Chen gently placed a note on the table.

This is a map, which Xiaoyun gave him before.

"You..." Xiaoyun stared at the map on the table, then raised his head: "Did you see the lock?"

Lin Chen did not lie, he nodded.

"That……"

However, when Xiaoyun was about to say something, Lin Chen suddenly interrupted him.

Lin Chen asked: "Besides me, did you entrust other second-round players to do this?"

"What do you mean?"

"Just asking out of curiosity."

"Do you think it's easy for me to meet a second-round player who just happens to be from Earth here?" Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment, then shook her head in confusion: "Why on earth do you ask that?"

Lin Chen looked at Xiaoyun's pretty and heroic face through the two holes in the mask.

After a while, Lin Chen took a deep breath.

If Xiaoyun really only entrusted Lin Chen to take a look at the wishing lock, then the warrior he and Elena met halfway up the mountain should be the one who died in the Land of the Hunting God and returned to Earth.

Lin Chen vaguely remembered the incomplete words he and Elena heard when they left the earth.

"Excuse me! Did you see a lock on the wishing lock railing just now? There should be something written on that lock that says 'Xiao...'"

This sentence was not finished, or I didn't finish hearing it. The last "Xiao" was probably asking Xiaoyun.

Is it such a coincidence?

"Before I answer you, can I ask about your motives...?" Lin Chen simply turned around and leaned on Xiaoyun's desk.

Xiaoyun hesitated.

To be precise, this was a somewhat willful private matter. Rather than being a "commission", it was more like asking Lin Chen for help.

If this is the case, the other party does have the right to know the whole story and the ins and outs of the matter.

"Ugh……"

Xiaoyun sighed.
