Chapter 167: NPC Wild Shop
If the player fights monsters, it is not an easy thing to do. If they fight monsters for a long time, not only will the weapons and equipment in their hands need to be repaired regularly, but when the medicine is exhausted, they will need to return to the NPC city to replenish it. However, because the NPC city is not everywhere, the location of the monster not far from the NPC city is fine, and in some places, it will take a lot of time to come and go, so the situation has seriously affected the efficiency of those players in fighting monsters. As a result, I don't know what kind of consideration Lu Dao had, after paying a heavy price, the NPC side actually made arrangements specifically for that situation.
Through a series of means such as fighting, negotiating, and compromising, those NPCs eventually opened shops in many remote monster areas. Those shops may not occupy a large area, and the number of members may not be large, but the strength of each one is quite good, not to mention that they can fight against most monsters, but in the area where they work, ordinary mobs really don't pose any threat to them.
It can even be said directly, because the two camps already have a tacit understanding on this kind of thing, and in the case that the monster has also opened a few passages in some positions of the NPC's power, the monster high-level has not thought about what to do with those NPC stores.
In addition, the hidden ability of those NPC shops themselves is also good, so in addition to the members and players in the NPC itself's camp, most of the monsters don't know the way at all, and there is still such a group of enemies within their potential range.
It's not the first time that Zhou Tian has thought of that group of NPCs, but because those NPCs only exist to help the player, they can't interfere in other things at all. Thinking that those NPCs would not pose any threat to him, Zhou Tian had been ignoring them before.
However, after Zhou Tian suddenly remembered those NPCs next day, his mind couldn't help but change at that time.
In the past, because there was no interest between the two sides, the existence of that group of NPCs Zhou Tiancai has been ignored. But now the situation is different, since Zhou Tian thought of those NPCs, and those NPCs definitely have what Zhou Tian needs, so Zhou Tian doesn't mind having some dealings with them.
And thinking like that, Zhou Tian quickly took action......
I don't know much about the territory of high-level monsters because of the low level of Zhou Tian's game at that time, but Zhou Tian is quite clear about where there are NPC shops in his territory.
Although because of Zhou Tian's existence, the novice area has now become an orc territory, and the internal changes are not insignificant. However, even then, in the end, Zhou Tian was still confident that he could find those NPCs. Because Zhou Tian knew that the change in the potential between monsters seemed to have a lot of impact, but he didn't have the ability to affect those NPC stores yet.
The opponent serves those players, that is, as long as the player does not give up on fighting monsters in those places, then the NPC will not cancel the original store.
And since Zhou Tian remembered the original addresses of several NPC shops in his territory, he was naturally not afraid that he would not be able to find those hidden NPCs by then.
Zhou Tian, who had the bottom in his heart, confidently led the monsters under his command and ran directly to the bottom of the original skull cave at that time.
If it was possible to set up an NPC shop in the beginner area at the beginning, it was really only the Skull Cave. After all, there was originally a city and several villages in the novice area, and it was not difficult for those novice players to find a supply point when leveling up.
In this way, the only place where newbies have to run a few more steps is the Skull Cave. Although this distance is not too far, in order to avoid the reason why players do not go there to fight monsters because of the relatively long distance, and finally make the strength of the skeleton clan grow too fast, in the end, at the bottom of the skeleton cave, the NPC side still set up a shop there.
Zhou Tian had also inspected the realm out of curiosity after capturing the Skull Cave before, and basically saw a little bit of what the other party was hiding. It's just that because Zhou Tian didn't intervene in the fight with the skeletons or those undead monsters, and didn't want to set up more strong enemies, Zhou Tian just thought that those NPCs didn't exist at all, but he didn't point out their hiding places.
And now, after Zhou Tian changed his mind, he found the boundary with ease, and after looking at the hidden location of the NPC shop for a while, he also determined the real hiding place of the other party.
"Do you want to come out on your own or do you want me to ask you to come out?" After giving an order, Zhou Tian directly asked his guards to fence off the place, and then he casually stood on the periphery of the other party and shouted.
It's a pity that after Zhou Tian muttered, there was no movement in that area, and it looked like Zhou Tian had found the wrong place, and there was no NPC store in that place at all.
"Toast and don't eat and drink!" Since Zhou Tian was sure that the NPC shop was in his location, Zhou Tian would not easily shake his confidence. After discovering that its shouting had no effect, in a fit of rage, Zhou Tian issued a new order at that time.
"Dig this place up for me!" Even if you have life skills, it is quite difficult to cause damage to the outside world in this world at the moment. If that place was really an ordinary stone wall, then it was estimated that no matter how hard Zhou Tian's guards tried, it would be difficult to cause any damage to the stone wall in the end.
However, if that NPC shop really opened in that place, no matter how strong their hiding methods were, it was probably impossible to hide their whereabouts anymore.
In fact, there was no need for Zhou Tian to do anything at all, and the group of NPCs at that time had already run out decisively after listening to his orders.
Although those NPCs didn't pay attention to Zhou Tian at first, it didn't mean that Zhou Tian's threat really had no effect. In fact, those NPCs didn't take the initiative at that time, it was just a fluke in the hope that Zhou Tian would not be able to determine their location.
But now, after discovering that Zhou Tian really knew their whereabouts, and it seemed that Zhou Tian was planning to destroy their disguises, it was impossible for those NPCs to sit still anymore.
Although Zhou Tian's threat to those NPCs didn't care at all, they couldn't ignore it. Because the camouflage outside the NPC shop is not easy to get the layout right, if Zhou Tian is ruined, the group of NPCs will no longer want to do business as quietly as before. Seeing that Zhou Tian didn't want to kill them all, those NPCs didn't mind trying to make peace with Zhou Tian at all.
"Orc King, I wonder what you're looking for us? You should have heard of our presence, and we will not interfere in anything about you, according to the agreement between our camp and you, we ......"
"Agreements, is there any agreement? I don't know anything about it, if you show it to me, it's true, I'll let you go. ”
As soon as he heard Zhou Tian's words, the NPC who was interrupted by Zhou Tian was directly dumb at that time.
Although there is indeed a tacit understanding between monsters and NPCs about these wild stores, depending on the relationship between the two parties, this tacit understanding is also a tacit understanding, and it is impossible to form a written agreement. Now, Zhou Tian's words sound reasonable, but in fact, he is simply embarrassing the other party.
"You damn monsters dare to trick us, do you really think that we are going to eat us, with our strength, even if there is no agreement to occupy a place here for you?" Zhou Tian's attitude directly angered the group of NPCs, and an NPC who didn't know Zhou Tian's interests even released wild words at that time.
"Kill him!" There was no nonsense, after listening to the NPC's words, Zhou Tian gave an order, and immediately saw a large number of arrows shot out behind him, and before the other NPCs could react, they directly shot the NPC who spoke wildly in place.
"Soul Fade, you dare to kill our companions!"
"We're fighting these monsters."
