Chapter 174 Do You Think I'm an Idiot? (Part )
【Leti】
Is this... Leti? The NPC that Miaozi met in Kasa Peninsula?
Wang Dao narrowed his eyes and quickly remembered the information based on what the other party said.
Although Brother Miaozi didn't know what happened to that guy by the Candle Keeper in the end, one thing is certain: this guy is definitely not a good person.
So he took out the letter cloth...
"Ohhhh, calm down, calm down."
Seeing that Wangdao was ready to start without saying a word, Leti couldn't hold it anymore and quickly stroked him with his empty hand, trying to calm him down.
But this seemed to be of no use, as Wangdao had already started chanting prayers.
"I can tell you how to enter the Lion Serpent's room and the secrets of this temple!"
Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, Leti didn't bother to keep it a secret anymore. He broke out in a cold sweat and spoke quickly.
"..."
Hearing this, Wang Dao stopped his actions temporarily, but the look in his eyes when he looked at him was still extremely vigilant.
Brother Miaozi and other players had discussed this long ago. This NPC was not a good person. He was full of lies, extremely cunning, and had ulterior motives.
So everything he said cannot be trusted until it is verified.
"……Tell me."
However, Wangdao decided to listen to what he had to say first. After all, for a player like him, the biggest loss was just rebuilding his body.
Of course, he still took precautions.
Bang!
A sacrificial zombie was thrown down the stairs by Wang Dao in front of Leti, making a dull sound.
Leti: “…”
This evil candle spirit is really crazy...
Leti wiped the sweat off his forehead, complaining in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face.
"...The lion snake created the barrier to protect its transformation, so it is impossible to open the barrier without the help of some special power..."
"There are only two ways to open the barrier. One is to destroy it with a force strong enough. As for the other one..."
Leti chuckled and kept the secret again.
But Wang Dao obviously didn't buy his trick.
"Ha ha……"
Wang Dao laughed strangely, took out the human skin letter cloth in his hand, and mercilessly attacked him with a crazy blood-draining attack.
Bang!
Leti's pupils shrank and he bent his body, just barely avoiding the attack, and a gap appeared in the fence behind him.
This shocked Leti: "Damn it, what are you doing? Don't you want to know how to open the barrier?"
"Someone told me that if I see you, I will punch you directly." Wang Dao sneered: "You can try the consequences of continuing to talk nonsense."
"you……"
Leti was very angry.
calm down……
But he quickly forced himself to calm down.
To be honest, the reason why I kept it a secret just now was purely because of his usual speaking style, and it was not intentional.
However, the candle spirit in front of him was obviously different from the previous guy.
He is more violent, more crazy, and more unpredictable... If you want to achieve your goal, it is best to follow his wishes.
Most importantly… stop talking nonsense for now.
Thinking of this, Leti took a deep breath and organized his words.
"Well, I can tell you two pieces of information."
"One is the method to open the barrier, and the other is about the special features of this temple."
"Okay, then tell me your conditions." Wang Dao folded his arms across his chest, nodded, and said calmly.
His straightforward attitude surprised Leti for a moment.
How did he know I was going to make conditions?
This candlelight spirit...
Although I'm not quite used to Wang Dao's way of thinking, it still saves me a lot of time and effort.
"...I need you to introduce me to the master of candlelight."
Leti stated his purpose, which seemed to be a very simple request.
Wang Dao raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The controller of the candlelight...should be referring to the candle keeper, right?
Just such a simple request?
According to the NPC exploration in some games, shouldn't people chop from east to west, run from south to north, and finally collect 3 copper coins?
...Well, Lingzhu's NPC is obviously not that outrageous.
However, some seemingly simple and easy requests may have deeper purposes.
Wang Dao is obviously not a fool.
but……
After thinking for a moment, Wang Dao said, "I can tell the Candle Keeper about your request, but I can't guarantee that he will agree."
"That's enough." Leti heard this and laughed: "Then in exchange, I will reveal to you the method of entering the barrier and the special features of the temple..."
He drew out his voice, and seemed to want to keep the audience in suspense.
Wang Dao frowned.
Seeing this, Leti also reacted. After a cough, he went straight to the point.
"See that tree nest over there? That's where the lizards live."
Leti pointed in a direction, which was exactly the big dead tree that Wangdao had seen before.
"In the Gales Depression, the snake group and the lizard group are the two most powerful tribes, and their leaders are the lion snake and the eagle lizard respectively."
"The war between the two tribes lasted for a long time. In order to deal with each other, they even used fire to feed their targets, until..."
Leti looked at the self-repairing fence at the back, chuckled, and continued.
"…After entering the temple, the lion snake activated an illusion array and barrier in order to transform. Without a strong force, it is almost impossible to break the barrier."
"But if we can obtain the targeted items on the eagle lizard and use them, we can greatly increase the possibility of breaking the barrier..."
Actually, Leti had a lot to say, but it seemed that he didn't want to irritate Wangdao any further, so he tried to be brief.
After listening to this, Wangdao was thoughtful.
So, he has to go to the big dead tree, which is the eagle lizard's nest, and defeat the eagle lizard?
...I have to run the map again.
Wang Dao felt helpless.
But before that, he had to listen to the next message from Leti.
"So, what's so special about the temple?" Wang Dao asked.
"Well, actually I don't know much." Leti chuckled, and when he saw the other party's face darken, he smiled and said, "But I still know a little bit."
Wang Dao stared at him straight.
"...This is an ancient temple that rises from the depression. It is said that there are traces left by the gods hidden inside...Kill the lion snake, and perhaps you will be able to find the secret."
Leti coughed lightly and said some meaningless words. There was no doubt that it was just a gimmick to arouse Wangdao's curiosity.
So the key still lies in the lion snake.
And if you want to enter the lion snake's barrier, the key lies in the lizard...
"...You stay here, I will convey your meaning to the Candle Keeper."
Wangdao walked downwards and passed by Leti. He was not afraid of a sneak attack from the other party and exposed his back to him.
"Hey, don't worry..." Leti suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, showing a harmless smile: "There is one more thing."
"...If you can't finish speaking at once again, I promise you won't get another chance to speak again."
Wang Dao looked at him expressionlessly.
This NPC talks too much nonsense.
"...This is really the last thing." Leti laughed awkwardly, then fumbled in his pocket and took out a dark brown claw: "Look at this."
Chicken feet? Has NPC ever eaten this?
Wang Dao looked at the thing in his hand with some surprise, and thought subconsciously in his mind.
But soon, he saw the item information.
[Hawk Lizard Claw (Excellent)]
[Type: Weapon/Special Item]
[Effects: ① Slightly increase attack power, agility +1, and greatly increase the power when successfully hitting a shield spell or prayer / ② Can inject war fire into it to cause a powerful eagle lizard claw attack. ]
[Explanation: The claws that have been nurtured by the flames of war for a long time are shaped like eagle claws, but they grow on the body of a lizard.]
After reading it, Wangdao almost understood what the other party meant and narrowed his eyes.
Then he smiled brightly and extended his hand to the other party.
"Thank you."
Leti: “…”
Damn, you really dare to ask for it!
"...I put a lot of effort into this. How can I just give it to you? This is a lack of recognition for my efforts." Leti said as he took it back and coughed: "Perhaps, we can make a deal."
"What deal? What do you want?" Wang Dao withdrew his hand. Of course, he didn't think that the other party would give it to him so easily.
"Of course it's a valuable item." Leti smiled kindly.
["Leti" has sent you a transaction request, do you accept it? ]
After agreeing to the request, a black and gray transaction interface appeared in front of Wangdao.
[Please take the item you want to trade out of the inventory and ask for the other party's opinion until the transaction is completed. ]
Seeing this, Wang Dao began to ponder.
After saying something to the other party, he came to the milestone spirit candle, took out a bunch of equipment and unnecessary garbage, and changed everything on his body.
"You're feeling the air again... It must be a hidden bonfire..."
Looking at Wangdao's actions, Leti touched his chin thoughtfully.
After a while, the transaction continued.
Leti also showed an honest smile.
But when he saw clearly that Wangdao took out one item after another, his expression began to look strange.
"Will this work? This is the precious sword of the Guraid soldier. Even though it has a chip and a little rust, it can still cut through iron like mud. It is indispensable."
"……no."
"How about this one? It's a zombie's headscarf. Even though it's a little bloody and torn, it still has a unique style and distinctive features. It's pretty good."
"...No way either."
"What about this? Crazy Talking Mushroom?"
"Do not……"
"what about this?"
"..."
For most players, as long as they trade with NPCs, if they are given something that they think is good, they are losing money.
Therefore, players usually treat certain NPCs as garbage recycling stations, which is also a way to organize their own small warehouses that are as big as hamster cheek pouches.
Therefore, what Wangdao gave to Leti at this time was certainly not much better.
Or in other words, it gives a bunch of garbage and waste, the kind that newbies who have just entered the game will shake their heads when they see it.
"..."
As a result, Leti's face gradually became ugly and finally darker.
Seeing that the other party even took out smelly socks and the like, Leti really couldn't bear it anymore.
"enough!"
[The other party terminated the transaction with you]
"Do you think I'm an idiot? I'm too lazy to throw away these pieces of trash given to me for free, and you actually want to exchange them for the Eagle Lizard's treasure?"
Leti's eyes went dark and he found it difficult to breathe.
To be honest, as a profiteer, Talati cheated many firewood collectors.
But this was the first time he had seen a guy who was even more cunning and stingy than him.
Does he think that the more garbage there is, the higher its value?
Wang Dao: "..."
He felt a little embarrassed after being treated like this by Leti.
Is there any problem? Isn't NPC trading just collecting junk?
"Take out something valuable, or we'd better not make the deal."
Leti shook his head. This was his bottom line.
However, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then he pretended to be casual.
"If it's ancient currency or collectibles found in various areas, they can also be used for exchange. I prefer collecting."
Ancient currency?
"You mean this? Manlak coin?"
After thinking for a moment, Wangdao took out a Manlak coin.
Leti glanced at it nonchalantly and nodded slightly: "That's fine, but only one is definitely not enough."
Wang Dao heard this and seemed to be thinking about something.
After realizing that the NPC Leti obviously would not collect junk, Wangdao also started to trade seriously.
In the end, Wangdao could only reluctantly take out several weapons of good quality and dozens of Manlak coins that he had obtained before, and only then did he get the Eagle Lizard Claw from the other party.
"Well... although it's not worth it, for the sake of our friendship, I'll take a little loss."
Leti sighed, looking as if in pain.
Wang Dao sneered at this. He didn't know how much this guy had earned, but he would definitely not lose money.
After confirming that the eagle lizard's claw was fine, Wangdao did not go to fight the boss immediately, but glanced at him.
"Just wait here. I'll go and notify the candle keeper."
"Wait for good news." Leti smiled and bowed.
However, before leaving, Wangdao suddenly laughed strangely, which frightened Leti.
"What are you doing?" Leti said unhappily.
"That old woman before...was you who transformed into her, right?" Wang Dao turned his head and smiled with narrowed eyes.
"Well...what old woman? I don't know." Leti denied it with a vague look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Wangdao didn't say much, because Leti's reaction had already come out of him.
……
"I see."
Rogge nodded slightly towards Wangdao. Although he had already noticed the abnormality between Wangdao and Leti, he still gave the other party some wax as a reward.
Then, his figure slowly disappeared under Wangdao's gaze.
Seeing that the candle keeper had left, Wangdao turned his attention to the chat group.
Zuo Ren Bu Wang said: "I have told the candle keeper. He said he knew and then disappeared. I don't know if he went to find Leti."
Storyteller: "Then you can teleport back first. That guy might still be there. See if you can exchange something else with him."
The sitting person said, "Okay."
After Wangdao left, Niu Niu joined the chat again.
I did push-ups with Niu Niu: "What the hell, that NPC that Miaozi had seen before? Why didn't you just hack him to death? That guy is a complete villain."
Storyteller: "(wiping sweat) You still haven't gotten over this bad habit. This NPC is obviously different from the NPCs in the dungeon. They belong to the dynamic plot. Who knows what the impact will be if you kill them. Anyway, in my opinion, as long as they can communicate, it's best not to kill any of them."
I do push-ups with the bull: "...Okay, that makes sense, but it's ok for me to beat him up, right? (Picking nose)"
Storyteller: "...Why are you always so hostile to these NPCs? (laughing and crying)"
I did push-ups with Niu Niu: "This brings me to the guy who exchanged my fully enhanced King's Sword for three gold coins..."
Please give me a monthly ticket!!!
