Chapter 9: After smashing your prestige with money

Although the newly equipped slime crown caused the attributes of the cloth suit to disappear, but the drop of 1 point of physical defense in exchange for 60 points of HP was earned, so Lin Yue naturally did not hesitate to equip it.

After the equipment was ready, Lin Yue's gaze fell on the other three things, the Slime King Transformation Potion can be left alone for the time being, this thing is definitely useful, but it is definitely not used now.

As for tears, it seems to be a quest item, and it seems that you have to find an NPC to make it.

"What now? This tear seems to be a quest prop, which can burst out of the boss, and it shouldn't be a general quest that triggers. ”

Lin Yue also considered another question, that is, whether he should do this task.

According to Lin Yue's original plan, with the funds in his current backpack, he could directly skip all side quests except for the main quest.

This is done completely for the purpose of leveling, because Interstellar Online held a leveling competition for the "Realm OL" public beta, and in the first 10 days of the public beta period, the top 10 can win the mystery prize, and Lin Yue's goal is naturally this.

Most of the side quests of "Realm OL" are for players to farm prestige and money, and only a very small number of high-level side quests will produce the best equipment that players need, so Lin Yue, who has enough "funds", really doesn't want to waste time on the side quests in the novice village.

In order to rush to the level, Lin Yue had already decided to give up all the side quests, but this Slime King's tears made Lin Yue hesitate.

"Forget it, it's not bad anyway." Lin Yue thought about it again and decided to take a look at the content of the task first, so he turned around and ran towards the small square of the novice village.

The village chief of the novice village is in the middle of the small square, where there are still densely packed players ready to take on the task, fortunately, Star Online has long expected this kind of scene, so here in the novice village, the system deliberately allows players to "go through the wall".

"Through" the dense flow of people, Lin Yue smoothly came to the village chief.

It was an old man with gray hair, with Lawrence's three yellow light characters on his head indicating neutrality, and a shiny question mark on his head.

"Young adventurer, our Grey Mist Village is surrounded by demonized slimes, can you contribute to the village?"

Every time the village chief and old man bumped into someone, he would say this dialogue set by the system, Lin Yue ignored it directly, and directly found the main quest in the taskbar that popped up in the system.

"Great, are you really willing to help? Please go to the Slime Plains first to defeat those hateful slimes and collect 10 droppings to come back. ”

System: You have triggered the main quest "Demon Removal Guardian Road", the difficulty is E level, kill the demonized slime in the Slime Plains, get 10 slime droppings and hand them to the village chief Lawrence, the task rewards 200 experience points, 5 points of reputation in the Gray Mist Village, 1 point of world reputation, and 10 copper coins in money.

Lin Yue didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the 10 poops that he had asked for from the lonely fish from his backpack before.

"Young adventurer, you're just too fast."

After the village chief said this, a prompt immediately appeared on Lin Yue's side that the task was completed.

System: You have completed the main quest "Demon Removal Guardian Road", and you will be rewarded with 200 experience points, 5 reputation points for Gray Mist Village, 1 point for world reputation, and 10 copper coins for money.

The main quest is serial, and the subsequent plot is triggered directly after it ends.

System: You triggered the main quest "Let's Grow Up", the difficulty level is E, and after the level is raised to 10, go to the Lion City to find the Kingdom Knight Alan.

"Young adventurer, although you have passed my test, if you want to increase your strength, you can also go to the village to help complete other tasks......"

The village chief said a bunch of nonsense again, Lin Yue rubbed his brows and skipped, and then escaped the tears of the Slime King from his backpack.

Seeing the tears of the Slime King in the glass bottle, the village chief's expression suddenly changed, and his eyes became sad, "This is not Xiaolan's breath, this is its tears, I didn't think you could defeat it." ”

Lin Yue couldn't figure out who Xiaolan was, but it should be the name of the King of Slime.

"Xiaolan was originally a pet that I recovered when I was young, but then under the influence of the dark aura, she is now the king of the demonized slimes on the plains, and it has lost its common sense to kill innocent people, and I ...... it every day in pain and guilt"

Sure enough, the village chief entered the memory kill and began to chatter about the story of him and Xiaolan.

Lin Yue was in a hurry, and he didn't want to listen to the village chief's nonsense at all, but unfortunately now it seems that he has entered the plot stage, and he can't jump over it, so Lin Yue has no choice but to listen to it.

Finally, just when Lin Yue almost lost his patience, the village chief's nonsense was finally finished, and he wiped away his tears, and then put away the tears of the Slime King.

System: You have lost the Tears of the Slime King.

"Huh? Gone? Lin Yue waited for a while, and found that the village chief had regained his calmness, but there was no new task released behind him.

"Damn, I wasted so much of my time." Lin Yue was so angry that he wanted to rush up and rip off the village chief's beard, but at this time, he found that the question mark on the village chief's head had changed from yellow to gray.

In this situation, Lin Yue knew that this meant that there was a task to take, but the task conditions were not met, and the player could not take it.

Recalling his memories 10 years later, Lin Yue thought of the conditions for receiving some special tasks, many NPCs will issue some special tasks, in addition to some necessary props, the conditions seem to be related to the player's friendship with the NPC.

There are 7 levels of opinion for "Realm OL", from hatred (crimson), hostility (red), coldness (pink), neutrality (yellow), closeness (light green), respect (green), and worship (navy).

Lin Yue looked at the village chief's name in yellow, indicating that he was now in a neutral state, and there was only one way to improve it, and that was to increase the player's reputation in the area where the NPC was located.

"Prestige?"

Lin Yue thought about it, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up slightly.

Lin Yue said a few more words to the village chief, and quickly opened the operation interface on the village chief's body, on which in addition to a gray unacceptable task called "Dark Invasion", there were also a large number of side quests that could be accepted.

Lin Yue didn't look at these, but pulled the dialogue interface to the bottom and saw a donation option.

In "Realm OL", there are many ways to gain prestige, and doing quests is the most traditional method, but this method is very slow, especially in the novice village stage, players often need to do hundreds of trivial side quests to brush up the prestige of an area.

In the early stages of the game, it is estimated that few people will do this, except for some guys who are particularly sore in the egg.

In addition, there are other ways to increase the player's prestige in the later stages of the game, such as strategy dungeons, territory battles, caravan darts, etc., but this is all a later story, Lin Yue naturally has no chance to use those methods, and he doesn't want to waste time.

Lin Yue didn't want to waste time, and the only option left was to donate.

Each area has a donation officer, and the donor officer of the novice village is the village head, and when you open the donation column, it shows that donating 10 silver coins will give you 1 reputation.

Lin Yue didn't think about it, and directly donated the money left in his pocket.

System: You donated 49 gold and 50 silver to Grey Mist Village, gaining 495 Grey Mist Village Fame.

The upper limit of prestige in the area of Gray Mist Village is only 500 points, and the money donated by Lin Yue's pocket is still more, and he returns directly to Lin Yue's backpack.

In addition, because you have completed the main quest and obtained 5 points of reputation in Gray Mist Village, after donating money this time, the reputation obtained can only be 495 points, which is a total of 500 points.

After smashing his prestige with money, the name on the village chief's head immediately turned dark blue, and the eyes that looked at Lin Yue also became strange.
