Chapter 259 You think everyone can get out smoothly?
“I’ve lived with him for 20 years, and he dared to cheat on me and steal all my belongings. I really can’t live like this anymore. Just run me over!”
Lu Youyou's lips twitched. Even the monster world has emotional entanglements?
At the same time, the watch buzzed.
[The Bamboo Maiden issues a quest: Help me steal the heart of the man (the Stone King).]
[Currently available orders: 10. Accept the task? Yes/No.]
Lu Youyou: ...Is this right?
Putting aside whether the stone has a heart, the mission in this instance is to win back a cheating man's heart, which she cannot accomplish.
She clicked "No" on her watch, but the woman named Zhu Nu still blocked the car.
"Move aside, I'm not taking this order."
The bamboo girl cried even harder than before, repeating the exact same words over and over again.
Then the watch started vibrating again.
[The Bamboo Maiden issues a quest: Help me steal the heart of the man (the Stone King).]
[Currently available orders: 10. Accept the task? Yes/No.]
Lu Youyou remained silent.
When someone else refuses a quest, the NPC leaves. But why can the NPC reissue the quest after I refuse it?
She still clicked "No".
What followed was a vicious cycle: Lu Youyou refused, the Bamboo Maiden cried, then issued a task, which Lu Youyou refused again…
After dawdling for five minutes, Lu Youyou finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled out the window.
"What exactly do you want? I can't take this mission. I have a short temper. Aren't you afraid I'll kill that cheating man?"
Bamboo Girl stared blankly at Lu Youyou through the window, forgetting even to cry for a moment.
A triumphant smile appeared on Lu Youyou's lips.
She should have done this a long time ago. The way to deal with someone who's obsessed with love is to threaten them with the safety of the person they love.
"Bamboo Girl, you should go quickly, I still need to take on a quest from another NPC."
The bamboo maiden moved, raising her hands and waving them, looking somewhat excited.
She stopped rambling on and on like before and finally had some new lines.
"Are you really capable of killing the Stone King? He's invulnerable to blades and spears!"
Lu Youyou frowned, sensing that something was wrong.
"When you say I should steal a man's heart, is that really just what you mean literally? You want a heart of stone?"
The bamboo girl nodded emphatically: "I'm just a bamboo seller, I can't possibly beat a petrifying monster. It just so happens that the master said we can ask survivors for help when we're in trouble, so I came to find you."
"The Stone King can use stones as a defensive shield and can also petrify his muscles, making him very strong defensively."
Lu Youyou knew nothing about these newly appeared NPCs and couldn't find any trace of lying in the bamboo girl.
If you accept the quest and the Bamboo Girl really didn't lie, it would be great if you could get a good score.
But if the Bamboo Girl is lying, not only will it waste her time, but the task of killing the Stone Golem and taking its heart will be difficult enough.
Although there's no punishment for not helping NPCs who truly need help, she's not exactly a kind person; she won't help with anything that doesn't benefit her.
"Bamboo Girl, I can accept the mission, but you have to give me some reward first."
Bamboo Girl's smile froze on her face, and she said awkwardly, "Why are you charging extra? Can't I just give you a 10 out of 10 after the game is over?"
Lu Youyou stretched out her index finger and wiggled it from side to side: "No, whether there is a score or not is something to do after the game ends. If you want my help now, you have to pay me."
She couldn't say that an NPC who offers a reward is necessarily an NPC in need of help, but an NPC who flatly refuses is most likely not someone who truly needs help.
After all, the other party doesn't really need my help, yet they still have to pay me money. Isn't that obviously a losing proposition?
"Can I give you a truckload of fresh bamboo shoots? They're all grown by myself. My bamboo shoots aren't ordinary bamboo shoots; they taste much better and can even improve your health."
As she spoke, a bamboo shoot appeared in her hand.
Lu Youyou stared at the bamboo shoot for three seconds, and a virtual instruction manual automatically appeared.
[Fresh bamboo shoots: Grown by the bamboo expert herself, they are believed to have benefits such as improving physical health and beautifying the skin.]
Just as she had said, Lu Youyou was indeed moved.
She hadn't eaten any vegetables other than those from the planting box in a long time, especially not vegetables with a buff.
but!
"What kind of vehicle are you talking about, a truckload of bamboo shoots? A bicycle is a vehicle too."
Bamboo Girl smiled slightly: "Of course, it's a large cart. Well, let me put it this way: I can provide you with 300 catties of fresh bamboo shoots. No more than that, as they have already been reserved by other customers."
"Give me half the deposit first, or I won't believe you."
The bamboo woman bared her teeth. Why is this human so difficult to deal with? Isn't she afraid of giving herself a bad review?
Well, after all, he's a human who can defeat an immortal war god in the arena, so it's normal for him to have some temper.
She endures!
"Okay, I'll give you half of the deposit first. If you can't give me the Stone King's heart, you'll have to return the deposit in full."
"Then you can give it to me."
A mountain of bamboo shoots appeared in front of the bamboo girl. Lu Youyou happily got off the car and put all 150 jin of fresh bamboo shoots into the backpack compartment.
Then, in front of the Bamboo Girl, click "Yes" on the watch to successfully accept the mission.
The bamboo girl smiled and handed Lu Youyou a Stone King location card.
"My mission has no time limit, but I don't think the adults told you that each person can only accept one mission at a time. Before the previous mission is completed, no matter how easy a mission you encounter is, you cannot accept it."
"Either you die during the mission, or you're stuck in it forever. Do you think the boss really waits until all of you finish the mission before ending the instance? No, he only wants a certain percentage of you to leave. As for the rest... well, heh."
After saying that, the bamboo girl disappeared.
Lu Youyou stared at the spot where she had disappeared, a sense of urgency inevitably rising in her heart.
Before she even got off the bus, she noticed someone on the public chat saying they had completed three tasks.
Even if the three people he helped weren't actually in need of help, he would still just get a 0 rating.
Although there is no reward, at least you can survive.
But at the same time, a doubt arose in her heart: was what the Bamboo Girl said true?
If the game has this rule, why didn't Xiaolu explain it before the game started?
The more Lu Youyou thought about it, the more confused she became.
She gently patted her face, trying to clear her mind.
Letting out a heavy breath, Lu Youyou decided to speed up the task; no matter what, life was the most important thing.
We can no longer spend so much time determining the true identity of an NPC.
If you encounter an ambiguous task, just ask. Once you feel confident after asking, you can start discussing the deposit.
Even if the NPCs she helped were all fake, and her final game ranking wasn't high, she still had the deposit in her hands, so it wasn't a complete loss.
She got into the car, used the Stone King positioning card, and a small red dot appeared on the dashboard with a stone man icon on it.
Meanwhile, his car was getting closer and closer to the stone man.
