A Game for Everyone: God-Level Talent is Achieved Through Rolling In.
Chapter 5: Landlords and rich men are born to be robbed.
There is only one place in the game where you can buy things with copper coins, which is the beggars' meeting place.
Every starting village has a dilapidated temple, every major city has a branch of the Beggars' Sect, and the capital city has a main headquarters.
Although there is no equipment to sell in these places, you can buy many items that NPCs need, and you can even find props.
It can be called the number one shortcut for poor novice players to get rich.
The little beggar quickly poured the wine into a small bottle and handed it to Nie Wan.
"Hello!"
Nie Wan smiled and said "thank you" before leaving after giving a half-bow.
The little beggar blushed immediately.
Nie Wan didn't really respect him that much, but this kind of strategy was most suitable for beggar-type NPCs—beggars want others to value them, respect them, and treat them with courtesy. As long as you do that, their favorability will definitely skyrocket.
For example, at this moment, Nie Wan had just received the wine from the little beggar when she heard the system notification in her ear.
[Gain 10 points of favorability with the little beggar, Ah Er.]
After leaving the dilapidated temple, Nie Wan crossed the entire beginner village and arrived at the courtyard near the field.
The courtyard wasn't large, about the same size as other people's houses, except that the threshing ground outside the courtyard was exceptionally large.
On a pile of rice by the threshing floor, lay a drunken old man.
Judging from his attire, he looked like a farmer, wearing a brown short robe and a pudding.
Looking at his name, Liu Shuncai, there's nothing particularly outstanding about him.
But if you get a little closer, you'll see that the old farmer is wearing a gray-blue silk sachet, which is exquisitely made and definitely not something an ordinary farmer would own.
Nie Wan walked into the pile of rice. The old man heard the noise and immediately opened his eyes, looking at Nie Wan groggily.
Nie Wan uncorked the bottle, and the aroma of the wine wafted out. Liu Shuncai's eyes immediately went straight to the bottle.
Nie Wan put the bottle on the ground, and Liu Shuncai immediately grabbed the bottle and gulped it down.
After a burp, Liu Shuncai collapsed to the ground.
Nie Wan immediately made a move and grabbed the sachet from his waist.
There was only a set of keys in the bag, and Nie Wan walked straight into the courtyard.
Just as she was about to open the courtyard gate, Nie Wan suddenly stopped.
There is an assassin!
Nie Wan's gaze turned cold. She pretended to casually glance around and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw the large locust tree in the distance.
It's only been a short time since the game started, and probably no player has even broken through level 0 yet, nor does anyone have the money to buy skill books. Logically speaking, even if there are assassin players, they shouldn't be able to learn stealth.
But Nie Wan is a reincarnated person who has dealt with many assassins skilled in stealth in her previous life.
Her intuition told her that there must be an assassin nearby, and most likely under that old locust tree.
If he had been following her before, it's impossible that she wouldn't have felt anything.
He must have just happened to be there in stealth mode and witnessed my actions.
In a flash, Nie Wan came up with a solution. She walked into the courtyard, opened the second small door on the east side, groped her way to the corner of the wall, found a hidden door leading downwards, opened it, and went inside. She was almost blinded by the gleaming silver.
She casually stuffed a few large pieces into her backpack, then Nie Wan swiftly left the dark room. Once outside, she slowed down, locked each door again, and tiptoed back to Liu Shuncai's side, silently counting the time. She counted for three minutes before hanging the sachet back up.
Liu Shuncai rolled over, smacked his lips twice, and hummed a few times.
Nie Wan kept walking and left quickly, only stopping at the blacksmith's shop entrance to take stock of what she had just gained.
Three hundred and sixty-four taels, a pretty good haul.
She put away the bag and hid among the players who were crowding together to exchange silver. Just then, a gong rang out behind her.
She sneered inwardly, but outwardly feigned surprise and curiosity as she turned away with the others.
An NPC marked as the village headman cleared the way with a gong, followed by two strong men carrying a player as they paraded through the streets, and then came Liu Shuncai, who was cursing and swearing.
Nie Wan's smile deepened, and she narrowed her eyes slightly as she stared at the player who was being held up.
The player was an assassin named "24-Hour Online Chicken and Egg Frenzy," who was currently looking dejected and confused.
Twenty-four hours of chaos, Nie Wan remembers this ID.
In the early part of his previous life, this assassin had enjoyed a brief period of glory.
It is said that in the early stages of the game, he made a purchase out of curiosity and then won the exquisite stealth skill in a random draw, which put him far ahead of ordinary players and made him one of the top "god" players in the assassin class.
Chicken Flying Egg's skills were just average. Under the pressure of life-or-death crisis, most people were frantically farming. A few months later, several skilled and strong-willed assassin players also obtained the refined or even higher level of stealth. Chicken Flying Egg not only immediately became an ordinary person, but also fell from grace.
Seeing that it was this person, Nie Wan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This scene was obviously something she had intentionally designed.
Although this person had followed her and witnessed the entire process of her stealing Liu Shuncai's belongings, and wanted to imitate her, he was, after all, just a new player. How could he know the inside story as well as Nie Wan? In addition, Nie Wan deliberately played a trick, deliberately delaying until Liu Shuncai was about to wake up before returning the key. As a result, he was easily caught.
"In broad daylight, they dare to steal from me! This is an insult to culture! A disgrace to culture!"
Liu Shuncai shouted and kicked the player as he walked forward angrily.
After Nie Wan and the others had gone far away, she revealed herself, pretending nothing had happened. She secretly bought an ordinary iron-framed fan and silver needles from the blacksmith shop, and then pretended to be a tourist and entered the general store, where she secretly bought something from the shopkeeper.
It cost nearly thirty taels of silver, which would undoubtedly be a huge sum of money in the eyes of other players, but for Nie Wan, it was something she could easily throw away.
The miserly landlord is a character found in every starting village; he's basically there for players to steal from.
Even in the later stages of the game, players who are short on cash will still come to the starting village to steal from these stingy old landlords. Nie Wan is one of them, and she is very skilled at it.
But what no one could have known was that although the wine Nie Wan bought had gotten the old man drunk, there was a time limit to when he would be drunk.
Liu Shuncai will wake up in ten minutes at most.
Moreover, this old thief actually has a good memory. If you don't leave quickly and only leave in the last minute or two, he will see your blurry back and you will be wanted by the authorities.
Excluding the time spent using the key to open the door, players only have two or three minutes at most to collect the silver ingots.
Basically, the amount that Nie Wan will ultimately receive is the same as what she has.
If you try to be greedy, you will inevitably be caught red-handed by this stingy Liu, who doesn't flaunt his wealth.
Even if he gets caught, the important thing is that after this incident, Master Liu will be more vigilant and move his piles of silver to another location. Next time he wants to steal, it won't be so easy for him to find the silver.
