Chapter 1162: Female Bad Guy, Shroom Devil King
In <>, the quest system always had some puzzle-solving element. The higher the quest level, the more hidden the clues would be.
When accepting a quest from an NPC especially an old crafty one like Hermit, anything they say could be the key to the quest.
Especially when a name like Saint Alice randomly appeared, usually it would be the breakthrough point of the quest.
Indeed, once w.a.n.g Yu used a trick, Hermit instantly took out the quest item related to Saint Alice.
“Sir, can I take a look at this?” w.a.n.g Yu asked while looking at the cross in Hermit’s hand.
w.a.n.g Yu understood relations.h.i.+p things so he did not directly ask for it. However, once Hermit handed it to w.a.n.g Yu, he might just run away with it. When dealing with such a shameless NPC, if w.a.n.g Yu was too courteous, it would be stupid of him.
“Hmm!”
However, it seemed like Hermit saw through w.a.n.g Yu’s intentions. He snarled and kept the necklace then asked annoyedly, “Young man, have you been in a relations.h.i.+p? Do you understand the fine workings of a guy-girl relations.h.i.+p? A girl gave this to me. Back then…”
Seeing how Hermit was about to recall his romance history, w.a.n.g Yu quickly interrupted and said, “State your price! For how much will you sell this?”
“One hundred gold coins!” Hermit named his price without much thought!
w.a.n.g Yu’s face turned black and took out one hundred gold coins to handover, then said, “This relations.h.i.+p of yours sure is valuable.”
Hermit casually threw the necklace to w.a.n.g Yu and said, “Valuable or not, this is actually a quest item.”
w.a.n.g Yu got angry upon hearing that, “You didn’t give me this quest item?”
“Hehe!” Hermit lifted the bag of money in his hands and shook it in front of w.a.n.g Yu and said, “If I give it to you, how will I earn this one hundred gold coins? Anyway, your old trick is really bad!”
“I…”
After being belittled by this NPC, w.a.n.g Yu resisted the urge to press Hermit’s head on the ground and beat him up. With great agony, he looked at Old Hermit again but held back his words then turned to leave the alley.
No matter what, w.a.n.g Yu was a highly regarded expert. It would be beneath him to be angry with a bunch of data.
The sky grew darker and w.a.n.g Yu was not in a rush to complete his quest. Instead, he went to Mu Zixian’s shop.
With w.a.n.g Yu and Quan Zhen Sect’s reputation, Mu Zixian’s grocery was popular and never had anyone dare to not pay up nor cause trouble.
After all, everyone knew very well what kind of people w.a.n.g Yu and Quan Zhen Sect were.
By this time, most of the players were asleep and Mu Zixian was preparing to close the store. Seeing that w.a.n.g Yu came, Mu Zixian said in surprise, “Why did you come?”
“Hehe!” w.a.n.g Yu chuckled and squeezed into the shop, and said, “I’m here to send the lady boss something.”
“Oh? What thing?” Mu Zixian asked without raising her head. They were an old couple so she genuinely felt it was childish to keep up with such mystery.
“Look!” w.a.n.g Yu took out a ring and showed it to Mu Zixian.
“This is?”
Mu Zixian saw the ring and her eyes lit up with a flash of surprise, then she took it and said unhappily, “This fellow, we’ve been married for a year and now then you think of giving me a ring?”
Although she sounded unhappy, it was not difficult to notice Mu Zixian’s hidden smile and that she was very pleased with this late-arrived ring.
Seeing how Mu Zixian was so pleased, w.a.n.g Yu felt bad as when they got married, he had nothing, and the first time he is giving Mu Zixian a ring was in the game.
In this materialistic society today, it is really difficult to find such a silly lady.
w.a.n.g Yu smiled then displayed the ring’s attributes. Just like a teenager, he said, “Yours is called ‘forever’ and mine is called ‘together’. Have you heard of ‘forever together’? That’s us even in death.”
“Hey!” Mu Zixian reprimanded w.a.n.g Yu gently, “Why talk about death… Your unlucky mouth! Hurry, keep these things for me. Log off earlier later, tonight I shall make braised meat for you.”
“Great…” w.a.n.g Yu chuckled as he walked into the counter.
…
Going online the next day, everyone just finished clearing the dungeons and w.a.n.g Yu went directly to the alley in Twilight City.
The G.o.d of Devils Fortress was in Sin City.
When w.a.n.g Yu was level 20, he had been there once. It was on the border of the mainland and was quite far from Twilight City. Furthermore, the local players’ style was very much like Quan Zhen Sect. They did whatever they wished, stealing, fighting and killing were part of their simple violent culture. It did leave a deep impression.
After a few hours of flying, the airs.h.i.+p finally descended into Sin City.
Once he alighted the airs.h.i.+p, w.a.n.g Yu could feel countless eyes following him.
Well, w.a.n.g Yu was dressed completely in rare equipment. Even if the rest could not see their attributes, based on their special appearances, even if he offed their special effects, he could not hide.
They were indeed players of Sin City. That raw desire for top equipment was not concealed at all. They were only short of pointing at w.a.n.g Yu straight in the face and directly asking for them.
It was better to avoid trouble as w.a.n.g Yu was here for a quest and not to fight so he did not want any trouble.
Hence, he loitered around, wanting to get rid of his stalkers then change his equipment.
However, w.a.n.g Yu underestimated the desire for wealth in Sin City.
This was definitely a main city with streets full of bad-intended robbers.
After walking so much, although he ditched the first batch of people following him, others came along so the number of players behind him did not decrease. Instead, it increased.
d.a.m.n it, what the heck is this…
“Forget it!”
Seeing how there were more and more players behind him, w.a.n.g Yu was not bothered so he decided to ignore them and went straight to the G.o.d of Devils Fortress.
Anyway, once they knew he was going there, they would definitely stop following him.
However, before w.a.n.g Yu reached the city entrance, he suddenly heard someone yell, “Master, master… Why are you here too?”
“F*ck… Why is this little kid here too?”
w.a.n.g Yu heard the voice and felt a chill. In the whole game, only Shroom Devil King called him master.
Shroom Devil King was just a child and w.a.n.g Yu did not want to acknowledge her so upon hearing her voice, he lowered his head, pretending he did not hear her then quickly walking out.
Just then, he heard Shroom Devil King yell, “You blind b*stards, can’t you tell that my master’s equipment are better than mine?”
Once Shroom Devil King spoke, w.a.n.g Yu instantly felt a dozen greedy eyes on him.
“Oh f*ck!”
Seeing Shroom Devil King screw him up, w.a.n.g Yu almost scolded her.
As the ancient people said, women and evil men are equally tough to deal with. w.a.n.g Yu was unlucky this time to have met this woman today.
Before w.a.n.g Yu turned around, someone behind him spoke, “Hey, you—yes, you—come over!”
