Players' NPC boss

Herbie Hermes, a special NPC that has changed the game environment for evil players.

To talk about how much has changed... as an evil player, Greenland has a bed of his own. Before he opens his eyes when he logs in, he has to start avoiding monster attacks.

In the past, evil players could only experience about 20% of the game content. They were unable to trade, and the probability of material drop was also reduced. They even resurrected directly in the monster lair after death, and fought monsters with the attribute penalty of halving due to death.

But Herbie has changed the experience of evil players to 120%, and can even provide advanced consumption and other services. I don’t know, I thought I was playing a cracked version of the game.

This is a major discovery, indicating that the NPCs in the game will only use some system settings as a reference and will not strictly abide by them. Under certain circumstances, or if the player makes special efforts, the system can limit the data accumulated by NPCs to be modified.

For example, when Herbie is in the state of "Determining to do whatever it takes", she will forcefully trade with evil players despite the restrictions set by the system "dislike, repulse, and will never engage in friendly communication in the face of evil players" set by the system.

What a great setting and full of development value. This means that as long as you are eloquent, you can even make the NPC that distributes rewards give double or even more rewards.

In addition to being related to the game experience, Greenland also likes Herbie's personality. She usually pops up everywhere like a mascot and seems to be playing around all the time, but whenever you encounter difficulties, you will definitely get a solution to the problem from her.

Herbie is good at disguise and deception. He will digest any problems internally and always maintain the same appearance, making it impossible for people to see any problems. So...if something had changed about Herbie, something really bad must have happened.

"Are there any sequelae after the last death and resurrection!?"

"It's not a side effect..." Herbie paused, flipped through the small book in his hand, and found that Greenland owed her a large amount of money.

This is a sign of trustworthiness. Greenland has no way to live well without her.

"There is an evil god named [Loki] who tried to seize me in the dream. Although he has not succeeded so far, it has already had an impact on my physical appearance."

The influence naturally refers to the weird look of his eyes blazing.

The caravan members of [Hermes' Brigade Hat] around were nothing. They kept their mouths shut for the sake of their boss.

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

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

To put it simply, the tasks that should be given to the players fall on the NPCs.

[Kill Baldur] This mission will produce two god titles as rewards, namely [Blind Eye] for giving the final blow, and [Loki] for giving the best assist.

The title of [Loki] itself has follow-up tasks, which require players to find a way to defeat Loki who is trying to seize his body.

Blaze obtained [Blind Eyes], strong eyes, and exclusive equipment [Mistatin], while Herbie looked unchanged after obtaining [Loki].

If this kind of thing happened to players, they would be depressed to death. A follow-up mission dedicated to [Loki] is a natural follow-up title enhancement and correction.

But here's the problem. Herbie is an ordinary NPC with only one life. He is not like the "Blessed One" who can be resurrected repeatedly like the stranger in those settings.

It was already very troublesome for such a weak and powerless NPC to be involved in a dangerous mission, and now it has become a main character in a mission 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.

"Here, what should I do? Did you get any hints?"

"Well, a guy named Silly Man told me..." Herbie tapped the small notebook with the pen in his hand, not sure whether to believe the stranger or not.

To be honest, most foreigners are untrustworthy, irritable and self-interested. It's not that Herbie hates strangers, it's just that the stranger's behavior is likely to treat her as a prop to complete tasks and obtain benefits.

Although she has been with these evil strangers for a long time and almost understands them, it takes courage for a person like her to trust others and expose her own weaknesses.

"Alas...I need to defeat Loki in the dream."

Herbie closed the book and waved to Greenland, motioning for Greenland to follow. Their destination was Herbie's special carriage. It was large and luxurious inside, and it was also very suitable for secret conversations.

"I have collected a lot of information about dreams, but unfortunately there is nothing particularly useful. So recently I expanded [Dream] this time and searched for [Spiritual World], but so far There’s still no big progress.”

"Dreams and the spiritual world? This is a quite broad subject." Greenland shrugged his nose habitually, "But we don't have to dig into a problem, just find some hints."

"The way to get to the top of a tall tower is definitely more than just walking up the stairs. I can think of at least three or four more options."

"Oh?" Herbie became interested, leaned on the comfortable sofa, crossed his legs, and had the rare thought of comparing.

"Aside from climbing up the wall outside, what else?"

"There is also the possibility of blowing up the entire tower and letting it fall down. Anyway, I just need to climb to the top of the tower. 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 performance, 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 destroy him."

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

Generally, the extremely difficult vengeful spirits can also be [skipped] by purifying the corpse. However, this method must purify all the corpses of the vengeful spirits, and even the clothes with a drop of blood on the corpse must be disposed of.

Fortunately, Odin said that the gods especially hated Loki. When burning Loki, the gods set up a huge incinerator and used everything related to Loki as firewood, even Loki's hair, beard, and nose hair were thrown in.

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

Hebi had not considered this solution before, because she could not believe that God would die and become a ghost.

"Anyway, send someone to look for it first."
