weird fairy tale town

As an NPC shop owner, facing Bai Zhe's repeated questioning... he didn't have any emotions.

Neither will show an irritable look, nor will he bargain with him.But his behavior also repeatedly emphasized the fact that even if he only bought a pair of underwear, he still had to ask for a gold coin.

That's right, a pair of underwear is a gold coin.

Let alone why a pair of modern underwear appeared in a medieval shop, and why a pair of underwear cost a gold coin... Bai Zhe looked at the prices of a shop that seemed to sell everything...

A good iron sword only costs 10 silver coins, why a pair of underwear costs a gold coin? !Is this underwear made of gold leaf? !

Knowing that the NPC boss couldn't answer his own question and would only be entangled in "one gold coin" without giving in, Bai Zhe couldn't help but start harassing the system, "So...the lady who was going to tell me a story just now, can we... "

"I can't." The mechanical female voice felt a bit more gnashing of teeth for some reason.

"It seems that I have offended a beautiful and elegant lady... Sigh." Bai Zhe sighed quietly, "But it's so good, I thought you were just a system, so it seems that there is indeed a beautiful and elegant lady behind you." Ma'am..."

Mechanical female voice: "..." Damn it, damn it!She is just a system, so she doesn't feel very happy when she is said that!

"Hi, ma'am, do you have a name?" Bai Zhe put his hands on the counter of the shop, but tilted his head slightly, with a slight arc on the corner of his mouth.

If one ignores that he is only wearing a bathrobe now, and it is still empty... he looks like a polite gentleman who is chatting up a beautiful woman.

Hmm... the system couldn't help but complain silently in his heart, but considering his attire, he was a "gentleman" in another sense!

Refusing to admit that she was delighted to be treated like a human being, the mechanical female voice proudly answered the stupid human's question: "I am the system, assisting players in fairy tale challenges."

Bai Zhe nodded, "Okay, Ms."

Mechanical female voice: "..."

Seeing that there was no response from the other party, Bai Zhe thought for a while, then changed his words: "Miss? Or do you prefer me to call you...beauty?"

"Cough cough cough..." Surprised by this unexpected coquettish remark, the mechanical female voice thought for a moment reservedly... Finally, she hesitated and chose the more noble and formal title of "Ms. Department", before posing Sister Faner said: "Now I can answer the players' questions."

"Can't the price of underwear be reduced?" Bai Zhe still gave priority to asking the question he was most concerned about.

"Unfortunately, it's not possible." Even though she had a little more affection for the human being in front of her, Ms. Xi still said that she would fulfill her duties and would not make trouble for him.

"Okay." Bai Zhe regretfully took out the gold coins, exchanged the underwear from the shop owner NPC, and then walked into the fitting room, "Ma'am, please don't peek."

"I won't peek!" Ms. Department's voice was tinged with a bit of shyness in anger.

"Okay, of course, I believe in your character, you are so elegant and noble." Bai Zhe nodded, closed the door of the dressing room, and said with a smile: "Okay, so, now let's listen to this Backstory."

The lady who should have explained the background of the story clearly at the very beginning couldn't help but frowned... Why does it feel like she's being led by the nose?

But... Anyway, this is also her duty. She sorted out the thoughts that had gone astray, and told Bai Zhe the background story of the game.

"Ding~ welcome to player 7414..."

"It's a lady." After Bai Zhe quickly put on his underwear, he rearranged his bathrobe to make it less incompatible with the whole street environment, and then made a small suggestion to the system - "I have a Mature proposal, but... can we just fast forward a little bit and stop talking so much nonsense."

Sensing that Ms. Department might be dissatisfied because of this, Bai Zhe added: "Otherwise, you would be so tired."

The lady from the department who was just about to retort a few sentences: "..." I always felt that something strange was choked in my throat, and I couldn't say what I wanted to say.

Forget it, ignoring the inexplicable part, Ms. Xi began to tell Bai Zhe the background of this fairy tale.

And □□ already had a full sense of security, and Bai Zhe also began to concentrate.

Although it seems relaxed and calm, this is a brand new world completely different from the ordinary world. He has only just learned a little bit about the rules and depth of this world.

And regardless of whether it is true or not, I am carrying 217 lives on my body after all...

217 lives...

Bai Zhe couldn't help but let out a long sigh again.

He is really just a poor office worker... Sigh...

……

……

Listening to fairy tales is really too distant a memory.

Especially when I think about it now, many of the fairy tales that sounded dreamy when I was a child seem to be farces full of irony when I think about it now.

Just like the fairy tale that Ms. Department is telling now...a poor boy was chosen by fate, entrusted by the witch to help him get an important crystal ball, and he got a lot of reward from the witch, but in the end because of more money, And he killed the old witch trying to take the crystal ball as his own, and even finally became a king with the money he got and the magic power of the crystal ball...

This... is too ironic, right?

However, just when Bai Zhe thought the story was about to end, Ms. Xi suddenly changed the topic: "However, after that guy married the princess with the help of the crystal ball and became the new king, he discovered that his crystal ball Gone."

... The poor boy's magical crystal ball that can summon the devil, help him get countless money, kill the king, marry Princess Bai Fumei, and finally ascend to the throne of the king... is gone.

Bai Zhe raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the lighter in his bathrobe pocket... that damn guy gave him...

This lighter that can trigger the game doesn't have any magical functions, does it?

Immediately, the sense of security of wearing underwear began to go away from him again, and he felt a gust of cool wind blowing under his crotch.

"Ma'am." Bai Zhe sighed softly, "Sorry to interrupt, I want to ask... the Novice Fairy Tale Challenge, is there a difference in difficulty?"

"Of course." The mechanical female voice replied proudly, "Player 7414, with an evil value of 217, welcome to hell difficulty."

Bai Zhe: "..." You should not welcome me, thank you!

The wicked Bai Zhe sighed helplessly.

Life is not easy, life is not easy, "Okay, let's continue with the background of the story." Ms. Department seemed to have finally reached the climax of the story, and even her tone became more cheerful.

"In order to retrieve the crystal ball, the poor boy—that is, the current king, mobilized the power of the entire country and offered a reward of 500 gold coins!"

Bai Zhe: "..." It feels like offering a reward for 500 pairs of underwear.

"But the crystal ball has its own ideas. It doesn't like this cruel king, and it doesn't want to help him, so the crystal ball chooses to hide it. No one knows where it is, and it also made a curse on its own— —Whoever can avenge the old witch can become its new master!"

Bai Zhe: "..." Is that the witch whose head was cut off in the story just now?

"Now invite players to embark on the journey and find the main mission!"

[Ding, the system prompts, player No. 7414 triggers the pre-quest: Find the main task]

Bai Zhe: "..." The mission is to find a mission?Is this game still playable? !

As if seeing through Bai Zhe's thoughts, Ms. Xi snorted proudly, "Although it's just a beginner's challenge, it's still a one-in-a-thousand hell mode. Of course it's a little harder!"

Bai Zhe kept his social animal smile, and the grass-mud horse in his heart galloped past.

Alright, let's find the main mission first.

Seeing that Bai Zhe was finally ready to end this aimless road rush and officially start the game, Ms. Department breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help calling Bai Zhe with a bit of worry: "No. 7414!"

Bai Zhe stopped, "Huh?"

"No, don't blame me for not reminding you!" Ms. Xi's core was running crazily, and she said to Bai Zhe without violating the rules of the entire Fairy Tale Town: "This is the difficulty of hell, but... although it is difficult to pass the level, the rewards are also very good. Rich, you have to make good use of each item, and you must also be good at discovering new items, remember? And when the game officially starts, those NPCs will not be so stupid, they will really deal damage, and it is even possible Kill your NPC, remember?!"

The tone at the end was really telling the kindergarten children.

However, Bai Zhe would naturally not ignore the other party's kindness, he nodded in response, and firmly remembered it in his heart.

Among other things, a gold coin and a pair of underwear... At least it helped him a lot.

But... after spending all the money he had, where would he get another suit?

After all, relying on the sense of security provided by a pair of underwear alone... It seems that it is impossible to go on in a game where even the main line needs to be found...

Player Bai Zhe, equipped with: a pair of underwear, a wooden sword, a bathrobe, a lighter that has no use at present and may cause death... Embarked on a vast journey.

Five minutes later, Bai Zhe, who was ambushing in an alley at the corner of the street, raised his angry little wooden sword, knocked out a man in a worn-out soldier uniform, then secretly dragged him into the alley, stripped off his clothes, and put him on himself.

Thank goodness, fortunately, he spent that one gold coin to buy a pair of underwear, otherwise he might be twice as resistant to wearing this NPC's clothes now.

Using the soldier's rag bag to put away the bathrobe he had replaced, Bai Zhe hid the soldier he had stripped naked in the depths of the alley, and then stepped into this completely unknown world openly and aboveboard.
