Chapter 1534: My Job Is To Scam You
Giant Dragon tribesmen weren’t easily appeased. These giant lizards were well-known for their temper. Earlier in the year, huge changes arose because of them.
However, w.a.n.g Yu was saying that their Dragon Emperor was his entourage… Wasn’t he asking for an early death?
Staring at these Giant Dragons around them, w.a.n.g Yu’s words nearly slapped Prairie Fire’s soul out of his body…
“Are you joking?”
w.a.n.g Yu waved his hands, “Nah, I’ll never joke about something like this.”
Even though the Giant Dragon Tribe didn’t want to believe w.a.n.g Yu’s words, he had the evidence. Other than his explanation, there was no other reason for Dales’ seal removal. That was because this was the system’s regulation. It was fate that even a G.o.d-grade BOSS couldn’t escape from.
w.a.n.g Yu’s Dragon Emperor’s Token was real, too. That meant that his words had to be true.
All of a sudden, the middle-aged men whispered furtively for a while before that middle-aged man, Manda, said to w.a.n.g Yu courteously. “Since you’re my beloved emperor’s master, the Giant Dragon Tribe must fall under your control…”
“What?” “What did you say?”
With these words from Manda, w.a.n.g Yu didn’t say anything. Instead, Prairie Fire was so shocked that he nearly jumped up.
This was the Giant Dragon Tribe. They were one of the strongest tribes in the game. However, they wanted to bow down and listen to w.a.n.g Yu’s orders. This… Prairie Fire couldn’t believe his ears.
However, w.a.n.g Yu waved his hands, “I’m just friends with Dales. I took him in as a follower only because that was the only way to release him without binding him to a master. You don’t have to do this…”
“Brother Bull, you must be kidding me. This is the Giant Dragon Tribe!” Seeing w.a.n.g Yu reject the Giant Dragon Tribe’s invitation casually, Prairie Fire was even more shocked.
What was a joke? This was a joke. Even though the Giant Dragon Tribe was so strong, he rejected their offer anyway. Who knew what was going through w.a.n.g Yu’s mind?
“No!” w.a.n.g Yu waved his hands and smiled casually. It was as if he had just rejected some money. w.a.n.g Yu’s att.i.tude left one groveling on the ground.
Of course, it wasn’t as if w.a.n.g Yu didn’t want to take control of the Giant Dragon Tribe. It was because he couldn’t.
That was because w.a.n.g Yu was an upright person. He had obtained Dales’ reward, so he didn’t want to take advantage of the dragons and get into trouble.
Furthermore, if he really took on the Giant Dragon Tribe, it was like putting his name on the line. Before he knew it, he might lose everything he owns…
One had to understand that the game prioritized balance. There was no way the system could allow such a strong tribe to fall in the hands of a single player. These middle-aged men’s words were definitely a huge trap.
The game <> was filled with traps. Quests tested players’ values and morals.
It was alright to take advantage of small benefits. However, one could never get too greedy. This was based on w.a.n.g Yu’s b.l.o.o.d.y experiences with the NPCs.
The Hermit said this before. w.a.n.g Yu didn’t have enough natural charisma. Whenever he took on a quest, it’d be one level harder than others. How could he obtain such a great benefit?
As expected, seeing that w.a.n.g Yu rejected his offer, Manda and the others let out a long sigh of relief. They hurriedly added, “If that’s the case, we won’t force you. However, our Giant Dragon Tribe will swear friends.h.i.+p to you, brave warrior.”
[Giant Dragon Tribe’s Friend (t.i.tle)]
[Dragon’s Halo: Giant Dragon Tribe’s Favorability +100]
…
The Dragon’s Halo’s effect looked pretty useless. It didn’t add any attributes other than favorability…
This item was completely useless outside Dragon Island.
However, for fun’s sake, it was better than getting nothing. At least, with this t.i.tle, the Silver Dragon Gatekeepers wouldn’t chase him away like before.
“What would have happened if I accepted your offer?” After looking at the t.i.tle, w.a.n.g Yu asked cheekily.
“Haha!” Manda smiled, “Our beloved emperor Dales will treat you as an enemy and the entire Giant Dragon Tribe will a.s.sa.s.sinate you at all costs…”
“Don’t you feel guilty setting up a trap like this?”
w.a.n.g Yu rubbed away a trail of sweat as he asked this.
Even though he knew this from the start, the NPC’s affirmation made chills run down w.a.n.g Yu’s back.
“No!” Manda smiled, “This is our job…”
See that? That was how shameless game developers were. They actually set NPCs’ jobs as scamming the players… Why would they do that? Thankfully, w.a.n.g Yu was meticulous. If it were a different person, they’d be in deep trouble…
All of a sudden, w.a.n.g Yu dived straight into the topic. “I won’t talk about anything unnecessary. The reason I brought the Dragon Emperor’s Token is because I have something to ask of you.”
“Brave Warrior Iron Bull, please ask. The Dragon Emperor Token has the same authority as my beloved emperor. Your problem is our problem.” Manda patted his chest as he rea.s.sured this.
It seemed like this old man was very happy that w.a.n.g Yu didn’t choose to take over the Giant Dragon Tribe. His tone changed completely…
Of course, it could be because w.a.n.g Yu’s favorability with Giant Dragons had increased by 150…
Before this, what was w.a.n.g Yu’s t.i.tle? Dragon Slayer… his favorability with Giant Dragon Tribes had always been negative.
Now, they treated him with respect and admiration. It was reasonable to expect a complete change from the Giant Dragon Tribe’s att.i.tude to w.a.n.g Yu.
“That…” w.a.n.g Yu pointed at Prairie Fire and the others, “My friends and I have come here to complete a quest. I would like to ask Elder Manda for another chance…”
“Oh? What quest?” Manda asked curiously.
“Hey, Elder Manda is asking what quest it is…”
w.a.n.g Yu turned to look at Prairie Fire.
“Can… can we?”
If they weren’t in the midst of everyone right now, Prairie Fire was more than ready to give w.a.n.g Yu a huge kowtow.
G.o.dd*mn, what did it mean to be an amazing person? Even though Prairie Fire played the game for so long, he had never seen this happen.
Taking the backdoor, making use of interpersonal relations, and finally forcefully extending the quest… could you really do this in the game?
“Why not?” w.a.n.g Yu continued proudly, “I’ve bought a quest before too.”
“That’s insane…” Prairie Fire shot w.a.n.g Yu a huge thumbs-up as the situation turned.
“It’s all because of the game’s teachings…” With that, w.a.n.g Yu reminisced a little about the days he was a pure, innocent young man. After all those harsh times, he turned into an old veteran.
“Here’s my invitation…”
Prairie Fire walked to Manda and handed his invitation over.
“Holy Demon Armament Blueprints…” When Manda saw Prairie Fire’s invitation, he responded reluctantly, “Someone else has taken on this quest… I don’t think I can offer this quest to you…”
“Brother Bull…” Prairie Fire stared at w.a.n.g Yu in disappointment.
In return, w.a.n.g Yu stared at Manda. Manda hurriedly added, “Of course, if it’s my great friend, the brave warrior, Iron Bull, I can work something out…”
