Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 531 There is More Than One Way to the Top of the Tower

Herbie Hermes is a special NPC that changes the gaming environment for evil players.

How much has changed... As a vicious player, Greenland now has his own bed. When he logs in, he has to start avoiding monster attacks before he even opens his eyes.

In the past, players with bad morals could only experience about 20% of the game content, were unable to trade, had a reduced chance of dropping materials, and could even be resurrected directly in the monster's lair after death, fighting monsters with their attributes reduced by half due to the penalty of death.

But Herby has increased the experience of evil players by 120%, and can even provide services such as advance consumption. If you don’t know, you would think you are playing a cracked version of the game.

This is a major discovery, indicating that NPCs in the game only use some system settings as a reference and will not absolutely abide by them. In certain situations, or if the player is particularly hardworking, the system restrictions can be modified because of the data accumulated by the NPCs.

For example, when Hebi is in the state of [deciding to do whatever it takes], she will force herself to trade with the evil players despite the restrictions set by the system that [she will be disgusted and reject the evil players and will never have friendly communication with them].

This is a great setting that is full of development value. This means that as long as you are good at speaking, you can even get the NPC who issues rewards to give double or even more rewards.

In addition to the game experience, Greenland also likes Hebi's personality. Usually, she pops up everywhere like a mascot, as if she is always playing, but as long as you encounter difficulties, you can definitely get a solution from her.

Herbie is good at disguise and deception. He digests any problems internally and always remains unchanged, so that people can't see any problems. So...if Herbie changes, something really bad must have happened.

"Is there any sequelae from the last death and resurrection!?"

"It's not really a sequelae..." Hebie paused, flipped through the small notebook in her hand, and found that Greenland owed her a large sum of money.

This is a sign of trustworthiness. Greenland can no longer live well without her.

"There is an evil god named Loki who has tried to possess my body in my dreams. Although he has not succeeded so far, it has already had an impact on my physical appearance."

The influence naturally refers to the strange look of eyes emitting fire.

The caravan members of [Hermes' Travel Hat] around didn't say anything. They kept their mouths shut for the sake of their boss.

"The chain that killed Baldur... Oops!!!"

Greenland held her head and wailed. Her super brain analyzed what happened in an instant.

Simply put, the tasks that should have been given to the players fell on the NPCs.

The quest [Kill Balder] will produce two god titles as rewards, namely [Blind Eyes] who delivers the final blow, and [Loki] who gives the best assist.

The title of [Loki] itself has subsequent tasks, requiring players to find a way to defeat Loki who is trying to take over their body.

Blaze got [Blind Eye], one eye stronger, and the exclusive equipment [Mistine], while Herby looked unchanged after getting [Loki].

If this happened to a player, he would be very depressed. A follow-up task exclusively for [Loki] is a natural follow-up title enhancement correction.

But the problem is that Hebi is an ordinary NPC with only one life, unlike those "Blessed Ones" in the settings who can be resurrected and reborn repeatedly like the strangers. It is already very troublesome for such a weak and powerless NPC to be involved in dangerous tasks, and now he has become the main character in a task related to God.

The most troublesome thing now is not how dangerous Hebie is going to encounter, but that Greenland doesn't know how to get herself involved in the mission.

"What should we do? Did you get any hints?"

"Well, a man named Shadan told me..." Herbie tapped the notebook with the pen in his hand, not sure whether he should believe the stranger.

To be honest, most of the strangers were untrustworthy, irritable and selfish. Hebi didn't hate strangers, but the strangers' behavior was likely to treat her as a prop to complete tasks and gain benefits.

Although she had been with these evil strangers for a long time and knew them almost inside out, it took courage for someone like her to trust others and expose her weaknesses.

"Alas... I need to defeat Loki in my dreams."

Hebi closed the book and waved to Greenland, signaling him to follow. Their destination was Hebi's special carriage, which was large and luxurious, and also very suitable for confidential talks.

"I have collected a lot of information about dreams, but unfortunately, there is nothing particularly useful. So recently I expanded the [dream] and searched the [spiritual world], but so far there has been no significant progress."

"Dreams and the spiritual world? This is a very broad topic." Greenland shrugged his nose habitually, "But we don't have to dwell on one issue, just find some clues."

"There are definitely more ways to reach the top of a tall tower than just walking up the stairs. I can think of at least three or four more."

"Oh?" Herbie became interested, leaned back on the comfortable sofa, crossed his legs, and had the rare idea of ​​demonstrating it.

"Besides climbing up the outside wall, what else can we do?"

"There is also the possibility of blowing up the entire tower and making it fall down. Anyway, I just need to climb to the top of the tower. Then there are more methods such as hot air balloons and cannonballs. The essence lies in knowing the target and the nature of the target." Greenland spread his hands.

"From Loki's current state, he seems to be some kind of vengeful spirit. In the classic exorcism story, we only need to destroy the remaining body of this guy to completely eliminate him."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Hebi opened her little notebook and wrote this down. If she remembered correctly, Odin once mentioned that Loki still had a mouth and a tongue left.

Generally, even the most difficult vengeful spirits can be [skipped] by purifying their corpses. However, this method requires that all the corpses of the vengeful spirits be purified, and even clothes with a drop of blood from the corpses must be disposed of.

Fortunately, Odin said that the gods particularly hated Loki. When burning Loki, the gods built a huge incinerator and used everything related to Loki as firewood, even Loki's hair, beard, and nose hair were thrown into it.

There was nothing left except lips and tongue sealed with gold.

Hebie had not considered this solution before, because she could not believe that God could die and become a vengeful spirit.

"Anyway, let's send someone to look for it first."
