In the Forgotten Continent, the personalities of NPCs are simply very different, ranging from cunning and greedy guys like O'Brien to kind elders like Calderon. The old man of the dragon clan is much more virtuous than O'Brien.

Although Yang Hai realized that he had lost his eyes afterwards, and it was very outrageous.

Through this incident, Yang Hai finally understood that the rewards of the original hidden tasks could be asked for one by one through such a method, of course, this was when he encountered a misbehaving person like O'Brien. If Yang Hai didn't ask him for it, he wouldn't have to mention the five bottles of miniature healing potions.

This is not the case with standard tasks, the tasks on the mercenary guild have been marked with remuneration and made your obligations clear, if you don't complete the task, the employer won't pay you a penny, and if you complete the task, you won't be greedy, but it's impossible to give you anything more.

In terms of returns, the rewards of hidden missions are obviously more lucrative.

However, compared to O'Brien's mission, it seems that Mr. Calderon's mission is too easy, right?

Back in the west side of the village, Uncle Calderon was still enjoying the shade under the big tree at the door, squinting gently in the breeze.

Yang Hai walked up and handed the medicine to Calderon.

Calderon smiled and said thank you, took the medicine and put it in his arms, and then continued to cool off.

Yang Hai was dumbfounded, don't send it, right, do NPCs have the nature of not being paid? He quickly checked the journal and found that there were two more entries on it.

Complete the mission "Calderon's Commission".

Get Calderon's opinion, which is currently worth 2 points.

Gain +1

Yang Hai suddenly realized in his heart that Calderon's favorability was the task reward, and there was such a thing as a favorability value. Maybe this kind old man is also a mysterious character.

Yang Hai said tentatively: "Uncle, I still have to leave beforehand, you pay more attention to your body." ”

Calderon glanced at Yang Hai and said, "Young man, why are you so anxious, sit down and chat with me for a while." ”

"Okay," Yang Hai said in his heart, "Anyway, I don't have anything to worry about." ”

Calderon smiled and asked him, "Young man, when you went to get the medicine, did O'Brien's slippery head embarrass you?" ”

Yang Hai was happy when he heard this, and said in his heart, Uncle, you also know that he is a slippery head, but he didn't tell me in advance. He nodded and said, "That guy isn't very likable, but it's quite refreshing when he gets the medicine." ”

Calderon then said with satisfaction: "This is about the same, that guy knows that it is my business, and he must not dare not care." ”

Yang Hai was stunned when he heard this, and it sounded like Niu B's baking.

"Don't guess, young man." Calderon smiled and said, "That guy used to fool me, but then I exposed it in public, and then he didn't dare to mess with me again." ”

Yang Hai thought to himself that this was very in line with that guy's nature of bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

Then Calderon chatted with Yang Hai. Yang Hai found that Uncle Calderon was extremely knowledgeable, and it was not an exaggeration to describe this old man with words like erudition, Calderon told him a lot of mainland history, customs and customs, Yang Hai couldn't remember them all, so he listened very attentively, and then picked what he thought might be important to remember.

Calderon was very talkative, and as soon as he said it, in the afternoon, Yang Hai was fooled by the old man.

Speaking of the evening, Calderon seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and smiled at Yang Hai: "Alas, young man, your patience is good. ”

"It's fine." Yang Hai was a little embarrassed, if he didn't think Calderon might be extremely valuable, he wouldn't waste time here, professional players are very realistic creatures.

"Today's young generation of adventurers are too impetuous." Calderon looked to the south of the village and pointed at it from afar: "Look at them, every day you know that Lu Dao is short-sighted to kill small beasts there and hone his strength, but he doesn't know that Lu Dao is for a person, force is important, but knowledge is also essential. POSEIDON, YOU HAVE A GOOD TALENT, AND YOU ARE NOT ADDICTED TO MARTIAL ARTS, AND YOU CAN LISTEN TO ME PATIENTLY ABOUT THESE HISTORIES AND STORIES, YOU ARE MUCH BETTER THAN THEM. ”

This old guy ...... Amazing, right?

Yang Hai beat the drum in his heart, and said in response: "You spoke wonderfully, and I can listen to it." ”,

"It's flattery, but I feel comfortable listening to the old thing." CALDERON HA DA DA GRINNED: "VERY WELL, POSEIDON, YOU ARE VERY KIND OF TEMPERED WITH ME. ”

There is one more entry in the log:

You have gained Calderon's Opinion with 3 Opinion.

Calderon narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Hai: "Young man, I will give you one thing, you can help me get it done." ”

Yang Hai's spirits lifted, and the main topic is here! It turns out that Calderon is an NPC with a chain of quests, so it's no wonder that the quest reward is favorability. It seems that after all the tasks are over, it should be based on the amount of friendship to receive the task rewards from here. Yang Hai was a little glad in his heart, fortunately, he had a conversation just now and continued the serial mission with Calderon, otherwise he would have lost.

"Don't be so nervous," Calderon smiled slightly, "It's just a small thing, as a descendant of the Void Dragon and the Demon Dragon, it's not that difficult with your abilities. ”

"I want to hear about it."

"A few years ago, I met a young adventurer." Calderón said calmly: "His name...... Alas, don't mention it. At that time, my friend and I saw that he was so talented that we recast his father's relic, a short knife, but unfortunately time passed, and he ...... It's going bad anyway. I know that he has become bad, but my old friend does not know about it, and I don't want him to know it, because he has a hot temper and may do something on the spur of the moment. POSEIDON, THE THREE OF US HAD A FIVE-YEAR COVENANT, AND FIVE YEARS LATER HE CAME TO FETCH THE DAGGER AND THE DAY OF THE KNIFE WAS TOMORROW. It's not a magic weapon, but it has a special meaning to him, and he will definitely come and get it. I don't want him to defile his father's relics, you know what I mean? ”

Yang Hai nodded.

"So, I want you to sneak into my old friend's house." Calderon's eyes sparkled, "Use this fake knife to drop the bag and replace the real knife for me." Before 12 o'clock tonight. ”

"Where's your old friend's home?"

"It's the town's blacksmith shop." Calderón said: "The home of the blacksmith Mutum. POSEIDON, SAY IT IN ADVANCE, WHETHER YOU WANT TO HELP ME OR NOT, THIS MATTER MUST BE KEPT A SECRET. ”

"Okay, I promise you." Yang Hai gritted his teeth and responded. "Give me the fake knife, and I'll do it for you tonight."

Truth be told, while Calderón says it's not difficult, the task is a bit dangerous – no, rather dangerous.

Because the blacksmith Mutum seems to be very strong, he broke into his house and was found basically......

Calderón reminded: "POSEIDON, BE CAREFUL. Mutum's strength is very powerful, and the two guards in our town combined can't beat him, don't try to sneak in front of him, he will definitely be discovered. ”

Yang Hai suddenly scolded me secretly, uncle, don't you play with me, okay? The guards of the village are level 50 elites, and I'm still a level 1 novice.

Calderon laughed, "Of course, I won't let you die." That fellow Mutum was an alcoholic, and I went to him for a drink tonight, and you see I went into the blacksmith for an hour before I got the chance, and he was almost drunk by that time. A few of his apprentices were much easier to deal with. ”

"It's good." Yang Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

Calderón said appreciatively: "POSEIDON, IT SEEMS THAT YOU ARE NOT ONLY CLEAR-HEADED, BUT ALSO HAVE NO LACK OF COURAGE. Yes, very good. ”

"Thank you." Yang Hai looked at the log, not bad.

Accept the task "Commissioned by Calderón".

You have gained Calderon's opinion, which is currently worth 5 points.

Taking this task and getting two favorability points is definitely much more difficult than taking medicine, but by all indications, it should be barely able to complete.

CALDERON TOOK TWO JARS OF WINE FROM HIS HOUSE AND SAID, "POSEIDON, COME WITH ME." Remember, act on the opportunist. ”

The two of them walked to the blacksmith shop, Calderon walked in with the wine, and Yang Hai waited quietly in the tavern opposite the blacksmith shop, and asked for something to eat to fill his stomach by the way. He hadn't eaten for a long time, and his physical strength was almost close to the alert level, and the dragons were really a bunch of rice buckets.

The mage in the game has the classic skill of summoning bread, but the bread summoned by the mage can only quickly restore health, and cannot fill the stomach, no matter how much you eat, it will not stop your stamina from declining.

Yang Hai looked at his experience bar and grinned. ,

After a few hours in the game, I killed some small animals, plus did a few ordinary tasks and two hidden missions. Although the quest also rewards experience points, it is too little after all, and the current experience bar has only risen to 3% of this level, and the upgrade is really slow enough.

Yang Hai bought 10 pieces of meat floss bread from the tavern and put them in his backpack. The compartment of the backpack is not only one item per compartment, and small items, such as bread, can be placed on top of each other, and 10 pieces of bread only occupy one compartment. But if it is something like armor, it is likely that one will take up 5-6 squares of space, and the same is true for chain mail, while leather armor and cloth armor will take up less space because they can be folded. At the beginning of the game, everyone only has 12 backpacks, which is too small and very precious. But food is a must-buy, and this can't be helped.

The food in the game also has an expiration date, and it is impossible to eat it if it is left in the backpack for a long time, but the dragons don't seem to need to consider this possibility.

Because it was eaten before it spoiled.

Yang Hai looked at the time, went to the mercenary union, handed in all the tasks shared by his uncle, and got 13 copper coins, as well as 0.2% of the experience of this level, the meager experience made Yang Hai feel a pain again, it seems that the experience of hidden tasks is much higher than the experience of ordinary tasks.

After returning from the Mercenary Guild, it had been an hour since Calderon entered, and Yang Hai waited for another five minutes to be safe, and then walked into the blacksmith shop.

He's going to go in first and explore the way.

Compared with the not spacious environment of the potion test shop, the blacksmith shop is much larger, and it is an open structure, except for the warehouse at the back with a door separated, the furnace, the forging room, the hall and the kitchen are all connected, not counting the warehouse that cannot be seen behind, this place has more than 200 square meters,

Yang Hai looked at the kitchen and was sweating profusely.

The blacksmith Mutum was a burly man of about two meters and three, with a voice like thunder, roaring on the wine table.

Karl ...... Delong!! Mutum shouted, Yang Hai felt that his eardrums seemed to hurt a little from a long distance, and he didn't know how Uncle Calderon, who was very close to the road, could endure it. Is it said that when you get older, you will have your ears behind? Yang Hai guessed very unkindly.

"You're — old, old." Mutum was obviously not lightly drunk, "Cunning, cunning, I don't accept it, come again." ”

What's more?

Yang Hai looked over curiously.

"This guest, the blacksmith shop is closed." Mutum's apprentice came up and said.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Yang Hai apologized, then turned around and went out of the door, and the moment the door blocked the apprentice's view, Yang Hai sneaked and then turned back.

He moved slowly against the wall in the room, and the apprentice came over to close the door while complaining that Yang Hai did not close the door, was not polite and had no quality.

Yang Hai breathed a sigh of relief, and the first step was quite smooth.

Mutum's apprentice obviously didn't have any high strength, just an ordinary little blacksmith, and he didn't find the sneaking Yang Hai.

Yang Hai looked at Mutum a little nervously, don't find yourself this very bullish guy.

It doesn't matter if you look at this, Yang Hai suddenly had a chill, his feet stumbled, his movements were a bit big, and the stealth judgment dropped sharply, and he almost failed directly.

Calderon: "Don't be pushy, Mutum, you must be drunk. ”

Mutum: "Get drunk - I'm drunk on your sister, hurry up!" Go on! ”

"Do you really want to continue?" Calderon asked.

"Nonsense." Mutum impatiently filled the bowl with wine, but his hands were shaking with drunkenness.

"Okay." Calderon slapped the table: "I'll come first." A frog with one mouth, two eyes and four legs! Jump into the water with a thud! ”

"Two - green ...... Frog, two mouths - two - four eyes, seven legs - jumped down with a clink - water~"

"Wrong! Drink! Calderon pushed the bowl forward.

No way! Frog Overboard Order!

Yang Hai sweats like rain, NPCs actually have their own attributes, just like the player, looking at Mutum's appearance, I don't know how much Lu Dao's intelligence is, but compared with Calderon, who also doesn't know how much, only knows that Lu Dao is definitely not low...... After an hour of playing with the frog overboard, maybe Calderon didn't get a drop of wine.

"...... Milky. Mutum shook his head, drank the wine from the bowl in one gulp, and then fell on the table and couldn't get up. ,

Calderon leisurely picked up a peanut with wine, flicked the wine drops from his beard, and instructed the two apprentices: "Your master is no longer good, the old man has not had enough fun today." Come on, come on, you continue to drink with me, you. Calderon commanded another apprentice, "Bring your master to the bed." Hurry up! ”

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at Yang Hai, who was cating in the corner: "You are all quick with your hands and feet, what should you do." ”

One of the two apprentices went to move his master, and the other walked to the wine table with a bitter face to serve the old man.

Yang Hai knew that Calderon could see himself—although he didn't know what Calderon could see himself.

So while the two apprentices were in trouble, he quickly touched into the back warehouse.

Smooth, so smooth. Or rather, Calderón is too treacherous, and it seems that this task is a pure test of courage. With Calderon's cover, Yang Hai transferred the short knife in the warehouse almost effortlessly, and then left unnoticed.

The two met at Calderon's doorstep, and Yang Hai handed Calderon the task item, the real short knife, to Calderón.

Calderon Ha Luha smiled: "Good job. ”

Text also surfaced on the log

"Complete the mission Calderón's commission."

"Gained Calderón's favor, and currently has a reputation of 7 points."

Gain +1

This task also gave Yang Hai 1% of his level experience.

Yang Hai asked a little puzzled: "Uncle Calderon, with your ability, even without me, it will not be difficult to get this short knife." ”

Calderon waved his hand: "I can't say that, although it's not difficult for me, but it's stealing without telling me, I'm not a defender, and it's not that I can't let go of my body to do such a thing, but stealing from a friend's things, it's not right." Later, when Mutum asked if I had done this, I could tell him with peace of mind: No. ”

Yang Hai was a little dizzy, and the master acted really strangely.

Calderon Ha said with a smile: "I'm in a good mood today, you go, I should go back and rest." If you have time tomorrow, come and see me. ”

Then he ignored Yang Hai and returned to his residence.
