After practicing Qi for a hundred years, I became an NPC?

Chapter 26 Mission from the Village Chief

Facing the sizing eyes of the players, Xiao Hong was not at all timid. The words "special NPC" gave him unprecedented confidence.

He is not the old village head in his previous life. No matter how many people come to communicate, he will repeat the set words.

This is a group task. Most people know it, and then spread it by word of mouth. Anyway, he only said it once.

Ignoring the chattering comments of the players, and standing there waiting for a while, Xiao Hong recalled how the old village chief explained the world in his previous life.

The old village head is a standard NPC, he said many and complicated things, and too much time has passed, Xiao Hong really can't remember the details, so he can only use his own words to say concisely and generally:
"This is a world of cultivating immortals. There are many strange races. There are countless monsters and ghosts. There are still many opportunities. You should explore the specifics by yourself."

Many players are recording with small notebooks, thinking while writing.

This NPC is a bit general, but it feels quite interesting.

The advantage of a fully open game is that it has a high degree of freedom. Although it is difficult to set a pair of underwear at the beginning, it is okay.

Just when they were seriously preparing to write down everything Xiao Hong said and study it word by word later, they found that Xiao Hong hadn't spoken all the time after waiting for a long time.

"Why didn't you say it? What else?" A player asked blankly.

Xiao Hong was more at a loss than him: "I'm done!"

Players: "???"

What did I rely on you to say? Are you finished?
Xiao Hong was very wronged, what is there to say in this world, isn't it just a world of cultivating immortals, everything depends on the player to explore by himself, he explained it very clearly.

Seeing that the players didn't buy it, and one or two were about to roll up their sleeves, Xiao Hong sighed and said helplessly:
"If you have any questions you want to ask, just ask, and I will answer them."

This sentence comforted the players very well, and someone immediately raised their hand and asked, "How do we start practicing?"

This is a good question, Xiao Hong recalled his previous life, didn't he automatically practice the low-level exercises after finishing the novice task, just practice according to it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong said: "Explore by yourself."

That person was a little speechless, and wanted to say something, and another player asked loudly: "Can I change jobs? Can I join the entry school? What jobs are there?"

It seems that it is possible to change professions, sects should also be able to worship, and there are many kinds of professions, but it can only be done after the level is up, and there is nothing to say now.

So, Xiao Hong said: "Explore by yourself."

"Then can I find a fairy lover? Can I double cultivate?"

This is a good question, but Xiao Hong didn't know, so he said: "Explore by yourself."

"..."

Finally, someone couldn't hold back, and spit out a sentence: "Is that what you only know? Apart from exploring by yourself, don't you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Hong scratched his head: "That's not true, the main reason is that you will understand the questions you asked soon, there is no need for me to explain."

All players: "..."

So what's the point of having your NPC?

This NPC is a bit dumb.

"Okay everyone, if you have nothing to do, you can explore on your own, hurry up and practice, come on."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of the players, turned around and entered the yard, and closed the door.

The players looked at each other in blank dismay.

"What did you say, I didn't understand at all."

"I don't have anything left in my mind now except for my own exploration."

"This NPC has a personality, it feels like it's all nonsense, I love it... Uh wait, I'm here to remind the novice that the task is completed."

"Me too! My God, this can also complete the task? What's wrong?"

"Forget it, forget about him, practice first, I can't wait to start fighting and transforming into a horse! Oh, I'm sorry, it's time to cross the stage."

……

The village chief has been sent away, and the room is empty.

Xiao Hong stood alone in the empty room, playing with the key given to him by the village chief before he left.

This is a key that can open the underground cage in which the village chief's monster son is imprisoned.

Xiao Hong tried the side quest of the village chief's son, but he couldn't open it. It is estimated that only players can open it.

This monster is insane, and only listens to the village chief alone. If he can't complete the side missions, this monster will always lose his mind, and he can't get close at all.

This is difficult to do.

It's uncomfortable to feel that you can't get close even though you have all the keys in your hands.

But the village chief's son is bound to win, this monster is strong enough, and the system for predicting danger is also very practical, so he can only think of other ways.

Maybe take advantage of players?
Let the players do side missions, open the heart of the village chief's son, and then he will find an opportunity to sneak in...

If it feels like it can be done, do it!
Thinking of this, Xiao Hong raised a standard gentle smile on his face.

He's an NPC, so it's normal to issue missions to players, right?

At the same time, all the players who were trying to figure out how to cultivate and were bored to grow grass received a system message at the same time:
[Sub-quest: Complete the entrustment of the head of Heiyan Village]

[The village chief seems to be very troubled recently, why is he troubled? 】

[Help the village chief to solve his troubles, and after completing the entrustment, he will be rewarded by the village chief. Do you accept it? 】

A side quest?
Posted by the village chief?That handsome young village chief?
This group of players just entered the game, and now they are confused about everything, don't know what to do, and are curious about everything they see.

As soon as this quest was released, countless players clicked to accept it. They all thought it was something like a novice quest, and it was to help them understand the world.

They didn't think there was any difficulty in this task at all. According to their thinking, at most it was helping the village chief's house weeding, delivering letters, and so on. Other games used this method.

So when they found Xiao Hong full of confidence, they were still boasting seriously.

"Don't worry, I will help you solve your troubles!"

"Village chief, why are you bothered? The task master is here to help you!"

"recieve the task!"

Looking at the players who were chattering around him, Xiao Hong sighed and looked at the distant sky with a sad face.

"I, I had a child..."

"However, he is different from ordinary children. I want to know what happened to him. Maybe I can find the answer in the back mountain."

Um?Isn't it weeding the yard, or delivering letters?
And what happened to your own child, why don't you even know it yourself?

Is there a problem with the logic of this game, or is there something hidden?
While the players were puzzled, they began to search for the back mountain. They still didn't take this task to heart, thinking that it should be similar to weeding in the yard.

After all, what game will issue hell-difficulty tasks when everyone first starts playing?

Yes, no game will be like this, because they take care of the player's gaming experience.

But unfortunately, this task is not released by the game.
