A Game for Everyone: I'm Using Different Flames to Play Overload!

The setting sun leans against the mountaintop.

The city guards of Mo City were just about to close the gates.

Two figures, one fat and one thin, approached each other.

In fact, Yang Shan's physique is not considered thin.

But compared to Zhu Tianpeng, he was definitely malnourished.

A city guard chased them away, saying:

"The city gates are closed. You can try to enter the city tomorrow!"

Twenty-one!

That can only mean that Zhu Tianpeng triggered some other special opportunity!

The Spectral Scorpion Beast is a Tier 3 Beast King living in the Tagor Desert. Its magic core was supposed to be the last exchange item in "Overlord Blade".

Yang Shan was speechless at Zhu Tianpeng's predicament.

Yang Shan went out of the city to find the Spotted Scorpion Beast.

Yang Shan: "I can see that. By the way, how did you end up in Mo City? I remember when the server opened, Mo City wasn't one of the landing locations."

It's different from my previous life.

But it's always just something you can look at; at most, you can hold hands or put your arm around someone's shoulder.

"Back then, I was using a knife, just like you. It was a fine longsword. With a 'whoosh,' I stabbed it into the back of the Water Demon Bull. It was probably in too much pain, because it kept running. I didn't dare let go, so I grabbed the hilt of the knife, rode on its back, and was dragged along at breakneck speed."

In his previous life, Zhu Tianpeng had a pretty good reputation, but he also had three widely known flaws.

Yang Shan: "Being easy to talk to depends on the person. For example, if you dare to call me Brother Yidao again, I'll make sure you end up like Mei Yangyang!"

But it's only the second day, and Yang Shan is already back; that's incredibly fast.

"Hey, don't even mention it, it's all about luck."

Zhu Tianpeng very naturally puffed out his round belly, which looked like he was seven months pregnant:

"With your magnanimity, why would you need to care about these things?"

Even bending down to hug someone will trigger a notification.

Zhu Tianpeng had no intention of hiding anything:

"I was originally in Copper Rock City. In the last version, I accepted a caravan escort mission, but I ran into a Water Demon Bull halfway there. Good heavens, the entire caravan was wiped out!"

Yang Shan smiled and said, "How easy is it to gain favor with supporting characters who have a role in the original work?"

After all, it was indeed a bit of a stretch for Zhu Tianpeng to take down the third-tier Beast King on his own.

Zhu Tianpeng put his arm around Yang Shan's shoulder:

"Thanks to my fierceness and tenacity, I ran for a whole day and almost died from exhaustion! That's how I ended up in Mo City."

"Young friend, you're back quite quickly."

Yang Shan and Hai Bodong had previously agreed on a three-day timeframe. (Game time)

Yang Shan placed the magic cores of the Fiery Thorn, the Emerald Spirit Palm, and the Crimson Sand Viper all on the counter:

Zhu Tianpeng didn't stand on ceremony at all. He tossed the magic core onto the counter, picked up the tea on the table, and poured himself a cup.

"Old man, this thing you gave me really tough luck!"

"Sir, if you need anything else, just give me the list all at once."

Zhu Tianpeng flicked his buzz cut, said "Let's go," and then stepped into the city gate with his toes pointing outwards.

As for Zhu Tianpeng...

He rushed headlong into the Night Drunken Pavilion!

That place will become a money pit after the Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya friendship system is implemented!

There are now many beautiful and flamboyant NPCs in the game.

Zhu Tianpeng, on the other hand, was quite oblivious. After saying goodbye to Hai Bodong, he left with Yang Shan.

Yang Shan: What are you laughing at?

Zhu Tianpeng laughed without a care in the world.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the city guard captain behind him slapped him on the head:

"Are you blind?!"

The first four items are fine, as they are all spiritual plants, but the Thousand Needle Jade is a bit more difficult to obtain.

But the last thing.

The magic core of the variegated scorpion beast!

The mission has changed!

Inside Qianbaolou, Hai Bodong saw Yang Shan and Zhu Tianpeng appear together, but he didn't seem surprised at all.

Yang Shan pondered that he needed to find a way to get Zhu Tianpeng to sign the contract as soon as possible.

Yang Shan: "I flew here."

Yang Shan simply smiled and remained silent before following them into the city.

Zhu Tianpeng's experience clearly did not fall into the category of "opportunity" within the system, but it was indeed a great opportunity.

Hai Bodong put the three items away and asked:

"Xiao Zhu, how much more do you need?"

Just like Hai Bodong, the player who had the closest relationship with Hai Bodong in his previous life was Zhu Tianpeng!

"Master Zhu, that kid just arrived and doesn't know any better, please don't mind him."

Moreover, judging from Zhu Tianpeng's casual demeanor, he has clearly already gained a certain level of favor with Hai Bodong.

The item Zhu Tianpeng chose was a fighting technique, but he didn't know exactly what it was.

Zhu Tianpeng boasted:

"How about that? I still have some prestige in Mocheng!"

Yang Shan: "Did you get your Tier 3 Beast Water this way too?"

The two were joking when they parted ways halfway through the journey.

Zhu Tianpeng: "Damn, you're using flying combat techniques?"

Each NPC has their own preferences and independent judgments.

Yang Shan took the list and glanced at it.

Zhu Tianpeng didn't elaborate on the specifics of how he swiped the card, and Yang Shan didn't ask either.

Hai Bodong: "Thanks for your help with Xiao Zhu's magic core."

Yang Shan: "Flying mount."

"Wow, I can't speak for others, but even you couldn't kill me with a single strike!"

Indeed, none of the top players are simpletons; they all have had some extraordinary encounters in the game.

Yang Shan shook his head helplessly.

Yang Shan glanced at Zhu Tianpeng.

However, to exchange for this fighting skill, a total of twenty-one items are required!

According to previous forum posts, Hai Bodong's best items only require eleven different items to exchange for.

Copper Rock City is separated from Desert City by deep mountains several hundred miles away, and there are even some ferocious beasts of the fourth and fifth tiers in the area!

In version 1.0 of the game, it was impossible for any player to cross the deep mountains and reach the desert city through normal means.

Even if you asked Zhu Tianpeng now, he wouldn't be able to answer the specific reason.

"Yes, yes! Please, please!"

After all, he doesn't have very deep contact with Hai Bodong right now.

Zhu Tianpeng gestured wildly with an air of seriousness:

Zhu Tianpeng gasped in shock:

"Flying mounts are only available to powerful factions. Goodness, you didn't raise Ya Fei's favorability to 70, did you?"

"By the way, weren't you in Cloudfrost City? What are you doing in Desert City?"

At this point, Zhu Tianpeng couldn't help but sigh:

However, Zhu Tianpeng has always been a water-attribute cultivator, not a mutated ice-attribute cultivator.

Hai Bodong played with the Crimson Sand Python's magic core, then glanced at Yang Shan and asked:

Before the game is unsealed, Hai Bodong always makes a point of helping players, so there is a certain chance of triggering extra rewards like Yang Shan.

The two walked and talked, and Yang Shan learned that Zhu Tianpeng's favorability towards Hai Bodong had already reached 20 points!

Logically speaking, Zhu Tianpeng should have become Hai Bodong's last disciple.

Otherwise, if he really completes this opportunity mission, he might take off immediately, and the signing fee will probably keep rising!

Hai Bodong then presented Yang Shan with another list:

"I lost the bet before. You should find these five items first. If you can do that, I'll give you the last one. If you can get the last one, I'll not only give you the items back, but I'll also give you a pill formula, a top-grade third-rank pill formula!"

"Eight more are needed."

"Brother Yidao, how about we grab a bite to eat together? It's on me, as a way of thanking you for your help before."

"No, I'm going to take care of the mission first. You should thank me, but don't call me Brother One-Knife anymore!"

It seems Hai Bodong knows everything.

Zhu Tianpeng: "It's nothing, I just find it quite amazing. I'm an unknown player, and one day I actually bumped into the number one player in the entire server in a city where there were no players before."

Then, the city guard chief scurried forward and respectfully addressed Zhu Tianpeng:

Yang Shan's face was as black as death:

Zhu Tianpeng: "Yeah, I was so happy when I first saw Mo City, Hai Bodong! But then they charged 100 spirit stones to enter the city, which almost emptied my pockets!"

Yang Shan even felt that Hai Bodong deliberately gave him these three items to create an opportunity for him to meet Zhu Tianpeng.

"But the Water Demon Bull wasn't much better off; it was seriously injured. I was thinking, 'I'm going to die anyway, what if I manage to get lucky?'"

At this point, Zhu Tianpeng asked:

Even if you're extremely thirsty, going there now would only be like looking at plums to quench your thirst!

Encountering this guy ultimately triggered a butterfly effect.

"You chopped down Mei Yangyang in the competition before, and I thought you were a ruthless person who would destroy flowers, but I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."

Zhu Tianpeng swallowed the tea before replying:

Lustful, narcissistic, and shameless!

But Zhu Tianpeng was indeed quite capable, flirting with many women in the game and gaining a lot of favor with many beautiful female NPCs.

If I hadn't followed the wrong guild in my past life...

In the previous life, in the latest 3.2 version, that second-rate guild packaged and sold everything in Zhu Tianpeng's game account, including "Wan Jun Chen Shui," which was ranked fifteenth on the Yi Shui Ranking.

Zhu Tianpeng only received 200,000 yuan in compensation!

The guild's method of enticing Zhu Tianpeng to sign the contract was through a honey trap!
