Chapter 9: Hidden Tasks that Cannot be Completed (")

Before traveling through time, Dali started playing the game "God and Demon" a year after the game was launched. He was a casual player. At that time, he didn't know how to upgrade. What impressed him most was that there were many NPCs in various towns, and you could get a task by just finding an NPC with just a few conversations. There was little task experience, few rewards, and it was boring to do too much.

At that time, the channels all over the world were all teams of dungeon leveling and brushing teams, and the experience of repeatedly brushing dungeons was much faster than running tasks. Dali didn't understand, is the game company doing this one more way? Since there is such an efficient way to upgrade dungeons, who still does the task? It is necessary to design so many tasks for each NPC, and the system will randomly generate tasks after the task is finished. Is it just a need to facilitate players to make money? In fact, tasks are not the best way to make money.

Later, players discovered the reputation system, and doing tasks can improve reputation, but fighting monsters in dungeons or in the wild can also improve reputation, and the efficiency is still much faster than running errands in tasks. What's more, players discovered some quarantine officers in big cities, and just handing them some supplies to increase reputation like rockets. For example, the famous cloth quarantine officers, first give him 1,000 pieces of wool and respect him, and for a little rich player, it is too simple to worship.

In short, in that era, the greatest value of tasks was to trigger chain tasks and hide tasks. To the understanding of players at that time, the reason why game companies designed so many tasks was to hide trees in the forest was to prevent players from easily finding hidden tasks. This view was still recognized as correct until the eve of the Great Time Travel.

Dali has always been doubting this point of view. Because in his mind, the great game company must have a deep meaning, and he obviously felt different from his previous life when he ran errands during this period.

In his previous life, when Dali dungeon returned to the city to buy supplies after making his reputation, the NPCs would only praise him from afar: "Did you see it? That's the rumored hero in this town, what is the monster he once killed..."

Now, NPCs will greet Dali with a smile in person, say hello, have you eaten? The weather is good, and other painful topics.

The former is awe, while the latter is indeed intimate - the difference in NPC's attitude towards you will determine the difference in triggering the task! This is the iron law of the task flow.

So this should be the reason why the powerful triggered today's plot. Can you get the trainer's appreciation if you kill monsters? It is definitely not possible. People eat more salt than players eat today. What is the player's achievement? Carefully recalling what the trainer said, the answer should be that it is really good to have a good relationship with people!

That is to say, the reputation gained through tasks is actually popularity, or people's hope. This is essentially different from the reputation gained by killing monsters.

The reason why I can receive the Paladin reputation mission at more than ten levels is probably because of my high popularity.

In order to verify this, Dali decided to carry out the task to the end. Of course, he seemed to have no other choice when he was frustrated in the level-breaking strategy.

Now the fixed tasks of hundreds of NPCs in the town have been completed by Dali, but it doesn’t matter. The system has a daily random task generation system, and NPC will randomly generate a new task every day. In his previous life, Dali didn’t have the chance to try it. At that time, he was just a casual player who went with the flow. Later, after he became a professional trainer after he became unemployed, he could only follow the strategy.

Respecting the experience and reputation of daily random tasks in the future has begun to increase, and the difficulty has also increased, which is reflected in the scope of his errands being no longer limited to the town, but has already extended to the countryside. Dali began to feel troubled, and he was not familiar with the NPCs in the countryside. Dali began to doubt whether the errands would be extended to other towns or even the city if this continues.

Dali will greet Fiona when she goes online in the next few days, but unfortunately she still has no tasks. Based on her experience in practicing for many years, she cannot have no follow-up tasks, especially those involving reputation. Perhaps her own people's expectations will accumulate and respect will be released?

Fortunately, the speed of material acquisition suddenly exploded, and the email address was filled with various ores and gems sent from the auction house every day. Dali was both happy and surprised. He was happy that he didn't have to wait for two or three months. He was shocked that he was so many intermediate materials in the market at the current stage where the most advanced players were only level 35? Dali was considering whether he had purchased it at a price cut.

On this day, after processing the materials sent by mail, I vigorously continued to do daily random tasks.

I ordered a little girl named Emily who had been watching the street in front of my house. The child's characteristic is that he was greedy and playful. The tasks assigned to Dali every day were nothing more than buying some candy and small toys from his brother. OK?

Today, the random system will arrange for her to eat and play?

Today, she squatted on the ground and buried her head in her knees without saying a word. Hey, Dali tried to talk to her and she did not reply. Could it be that she had a stomachache and wanted to take medicine today?

Dali said: "Emily, what's wrong? Does your stomach hurt? Brother buys you medicine? Talk, why don't you know your brother anymore?"

After waiting for a while, he still didn't say anything. Dali was a little impatient. He had to do hundreds of daily tasks every day and had no time to waste time with the little kid, but he must not leave it bluntly, as this would damage his image. As a task flow, image is very important. So Dali took advance and retreat: "Emily, are there any difficulties? Maybe I can help with my brother."

He didn't say anything and didn't raise his head, so he had to leave and said as he walked: "If it's okay, my brother had to leave. What should I eat? Ah, my brother will bring you lollipop tomorrow, goodbye..."

Just then, Emily cried behind her, Hum? There is a chance! What task was triggered? It's impossible. I've finished all her fixed tasks. How could I be confused about the random tasks for so long? Could it be a hidden task? Yes, a task hidden so deeply can only be a hidden task! Dali was faintly excited.

Dali quickly turned around and squatted in front of her, touched her head, suppressed her excitement and asked gently: "Emily, tell me if you have any difficulties, brother, I will definitely find a way to help you solve them."

The little girl raised her head suddenly, and her face cried like a cat: "Really?"

I guess I like a relatively expensive toy this time. How much does it cost? Dali said confidently: "Well, my brother is a Paladin. Is there any Paladin who doesn't keep his word?"

The little girl lowered her head and said slowly: "I lost my mother's necklace..."

Oh my God! It’s not that I’m calling me to find things! What Dali hates the most is finding things. It’s easy to call him to find dogs and cats. You can ask everywhere, but if you lose the necklace, you can ask everywhere: “Have you seen Emily’s necklace? She lost her mother’s necklace…” The answer is very likely: “What do you mean? Do you think I picked it up?” So, his favorability dropped wildly, and his reputation dropped wildly…

So sad.

Dali asked helplessly: "What does the necklace look like? Where did it lose it? When did it lose it?"

The little girl murmured, "I just don't know when and where I lost it. It looks like it is, the white chain has three green beads, so big..." While saying that, he gestured with his hands.

"What else? What else?" Dali was anxious. He said so abstractly. How could Dali find this?

The little girl whispered: "No more..."

Dali was stupid. In his previous life, there were indeed many mission madmen who were specifically looking for hidden tasks. They did trigger many hidden tasks, but most of them were helpless. In their words, it was: discovering hidden tasks only requires perseverance and luck, but completing hidden tasks really depends on wisdom and strength, as well as extremely good luck.

However, wisdom, strength, and luck are always a cloud for Dali.

At this time, the little girl cried again and said, "If my mother knew that I had lost her necklace, she would definitely beat me to death! My brother must help me."

The task prompt of the slightest cable made Dali feel confused and had to say perfunctorily: "How could it be? Mom is just spanking at most..."

The little girl cried: "Mom is a stepmother!"

Stepmother! Dali finally understood why this little girl asked strangers for candies and toys all day long. It turned out that the family lacked love. This problem would be serious. If the little girl was beaten to death due to her incompetence, her reputation would drop to a certain extent. But the problem is that she is really incompetent, and hiding tasks are really not something she has the ability to complete!

There are many opportunities in life, but you have to know how to make choices. Giving up tasks will reduce reputation, and if you fail to complete it, you will have to reduce it even more. It is better to give up. After a long time of struggle, Dali decided to give up, and he said embarrassedly: "Emily, you provide too little information. I really can't find it for you, so, so, so--" The little girl's eyes became desperate, Dali was so cruel that she couldn't say it out for a long time!

Suddenly, Dali's heart flashed with inspiration, three green beads, one white chain? Silver cat's eye necklace? Silver green agate necklace? Is it? Anyway, it's not a particularly expensive thing, so why not make a perfunctory thing? God knows whether the task items and jewelry products look the same. No matter what, even if the task fails, I will leave a reputation for justice and will not lose points! Yes, that's it!

So he hurriedly said, "So, I'll help you make a new one, your mother will definitely forgive you!"

Emily's desperate eyes became confused: "New?"

"Yes! New! Let's do it for you now!" Dali took out a full set of tools to start construction on site. In case Dali decided to spend money to make a high-end silver green agate necklace.

In Emily's novel eyes, a new necklace was completed. Dali handed the necklace to her: "Go back and hand it to her mother!"

Emily held up the necklace and her eyes became very, very weird and indescribable.

Seeing Emily's expression strange, Dali asked guiltily: "Is there any problem with this?"

Emily was startled, her expression finally returned to normal, and she was a little overwhelmed: "This is different from my mother's one. Although it is also three green beads, it is bigger..."

Dali said ashamed: "It's better to be older, it means my necklace is more advanced. I'm bidding farewell to the old and welcome the new. Your mother will definitely be happy and forgive you. Okay, my brother still has something to do. See you tomorrow!"

"Brother, goodbye..."
