Chapter 348: This NPC can drop 3 gold coins.
Jiang He looked around the restaurant; the setting, every plant, every table and chair, was all real.
The ingredients in the kitchen are all real.
Who would have thought this was a game world?
She's just an NPC in a game.
The game is not yet released.
Jiang He also noticed that the scenery in the beginner village changed every day.
The set design, as well as the NPC costumes and accessories in the beginner village, have become more exquisite.
After all, this is the starting village, where players get their first impression of the game.
The scenery and the quality of the costumes and props directly affect whether players will continue to play the game.
However, the other NPCs seemed completely unaware of all this.
Everyone is doing the same thing every day.
It might be a pre-set level.
Moreover, there is no night here; it is always daytime.
There are no four seasons.
The restaurant is frequented by the same regular customers who order the same dishes every day.
They were saying the same things to the waiter, and the same conflicts were happening repeatedly.
This conflict is designed to prepare players for their missions.
The guests who had the conflict remained lying on the ground without moving.
Everything in the restaurant was refreshed by midnight.
The guests who were just in the restaurant vanished in an instant.
Everything in the restaurant has returned to its state before it opened for business.
And so a new day began.
Jiang He watched the cycle repeat itself day after day.
Everyone is like a pre-programmed robot.
Jiang He found herself unable to communicate with them.
Because there is no setting to communicate with her.
There was no light in their eyes.
Jiang He tried to leave the beginner village.
Anyway, there are no other NPCs who have any interaction with her.
Even if she's not at the restaurant, it doesn't interfere with the activities of other NPCs.
To get to other places, you use teleportation arrays.
The good news is that Jiang He really did enter other maps through the teleportation array.
The bad news is that the starting village only has one teleportation portal, which leads to the main city. Entering the main city requires payment, even though Jiang He isn't a player but just an NPC.
The guards of the main city collect an entry fee from everyone entering the city equally.
Whether it's an NPC or a player.
The entrance fee to the city is 100 gold coins, which isn't too expensive.
Players only need to pay an entry fee when entering the main city for the first time.
After that, you can switch directly on the map and enter the main city.
However, as an NPC, Jiang He has to pay an entry fee every time.
The answer is that the money in the NPCs' hands refreshes every day.
The storyline keeps repeating itself; in the guard's eyes, it's like he's visiting the main city for the first time.
Jiang He paid the entrance fee and entered the main city.
The streets of the main city were bustling with activity.
But it's also very strange.
The roadside vendors kept calling out their wares, using the same tone and repeating the same phrase, without stopping.
But no one went up to buy it.
Another vendor and a customer were haggling over a price.
Both sides kept repeating the same two sentences.
They'd already bargained down to ten coins, but now they're starting to haggle again, this time from thirty coins.
The customers at the cosmetics shop kept applying face powder.
And then there are people who just walked past you on the street, and then walked past you again a little while later.
These are simply NPCs added to fill out the scene, serving as background elements in the game.
Players will not have any interaction with them.
Jiang He tried to communicate, but no one responded.
You won't trigger any quests from these NPCs.
You can interact with the NPCs who have main quests.
However, the scope of communication is limited, and only certain fixed phrases can trigger dialogue.
However, Jiang He discovered that her rogue online store still worked here.
The mall can recycle all the goods from vendors and stalls.
The shop's decorative items and merchandise can all be recycled.
However, the buyback price is very low.
In the eyes of the mall, these things are all cheap counterfeit goods.
Even the NPCs here can be recycled, just like dolls.
This is just like playing house in person.
Jiang He arrived at a restaurant in the main city.
I had a chat with the restaurant owner.
I learned that the shopkeeper is currently facing some problems.
Recently, many people have been causing trouble at the restaurant. I hope you can help investigate the situation.
This means they've directly assigned her a task.
Players can accept quests, and so can she.
However, she doesn't have a game panel here.
So I don’t know if I’ve received a mission.
What's the difference between them and the players?
Jiang He then interacted with other NPCs in the restaurant and obtained some clues.
Some people have seen the troublemakers and the restaurant's competitors; Mr. Qian had been in contact with them.
Jiang He followed the clues and contacted the people involved step by step.
A battle also broke out along the way.
Finally, the matter of Boss Qian was resolved.
After teaching Boss Qian a lesson, Jiang He acquired Boss Qian's restaurant.
Mr. Qian visibly hesitated for a moment, but the two parties eventually completed the transaction.
Jiang He has taken over the restaurant.
The original owner had a money bag on her body, and this money bag was quite magical.
Jiang He can take out as much money as he wants, as long as he wants it.
This game world is truly amazing.
Humans, immortals, and demons coexist.
This monster also has a designated area of activity and never crosses the boundary.
Moreover, even if you don't attack first, just stand next to the monster and it won't pay any attention to you.
Once you attack, all the monsters will swarm in to seek revenge.
Once you run outside the circle, the monster loses its target and will never chase you.
Jiang He spent one million gold coins to buy this restaurant.
He went back to his former boss, reported the situation, and said that the matter had been resolved.
Jiang He received thanks from the boss.
I received an experience orb, gold coins, and a piece of equipment.
They really treat her like a player.
Jiang He then asked the boss if there was anything else he could help with.
Since the original owner of this shop could be repeatedly seduced.
The hotel owner should also be able to repeatedly complete the tasks.
The boss really does need help.
The restaurant was poorly managed, and the owner wanted to improve the situation.
Jiang He wandered around the other NPCs.
It was learned that the hotel had recently lost many customers because the ingredients were not fresh.
The previous suppliers were monopolized by Boss Qian's side.
The next step is to guide Jiang He to the farm to negotiate the purchase of vegetables and to hunt for fresh meat.
Jiang He did not proceed as planned according to the clues.
Just tell the boss directly that since business is so difficult, then stop doing it.
Today we dealt with a wealthy businessman, but tomorrow a coal or charcoal boss will come looking for trouble.
Why not just quit running a restaurant and do something else?
Let's sell this restaurant.
If the boss wants to sell, she can find a buyer immediately.
Jiang He actually bought the restaurant.
It's also a fixed price of one million gold coins.
This time, Jiang He also received experience orbs, gold coins, and materials.
This game world is much more flexible than Jiang He had imagined.
It's a pity that he couldn't communicate with the other hotel owners, otherwise Jiang He would have taken over all the restaurants.
Let all the restaurants in the game be named after the Jiang family.
However, it's impossible to make all the restaurants in the game bear the surname Jiang, but it's possible to ensure that all player quests related to restaurants involve her.
There are teleportation portals to other maps in other parts of the main city.
However, there are level requirements to access other maps.
Jiang He was stopped.
The system indicates that the required level is insufficient.
Although Jiang He was the highest-level person in the starting village, her level was not enough in the main city.
This is when you'll need to use the experience pills you had before.
If you are a player, this experience will be added directly to your experience progress bar.
However, Jiang He doesn't have an experience progress bar, so she can't use those experience pills directly.
Jiang He browsed through the online store.
This shop updates its items every world to adapt them to the current world.
Now let's update her game panel in this game world.
Otherwise, you have to find the NPCs for the quests yourself, figure out the quests on your own, and most importantly, you can't use the items you get directly.
found it.
There's a game master training system in the store.
Want to dominate the game?
Do you want to become a powerful figure who commands respect and influence?
Do you want to be the only one who reigns supreme in heaven and earth?
This game pro system can help you go from a gaming novice to a gaming pro.
The system is priced at 1 million.
Hmm, this price makes me think this system must be really powerful and should be able to solve the problems Jiang He is currently facing.
Jiang He clicked to purchase, and the Game Master Development System was successfully bound.
"The system has detected that the host is currently playing the game 'The Legend of Immortals and Demons' and is adapting to the game."
"Adaptation complete. Welcome player Jiang He back to The Legend of Immortals and Demons."
Jiang He found herself in front of a game interface.
The top left corner shows your current avatar, indicating that you are currently level 100.
Level 100 is still considered a beginner player in the game.
Click on your profile picture to see your current attributes.
Then there are various recharge events, promotional activities, lotteries, lucky draws, prize wheels, the in-game store, and markets...
All of them are activities that require spending money.
However, there are some things that can only be obtained by spending money.
Then there's a task box.
This shows the main quests and side quests that Jiang He can currently accept.
With the task box, there are instructions on how to complete the task, including who to contact, where to look, and what to do.
On the upper right side are sections for Daily Activities, Solo Dungeons, Team Dungeons, Arena Events, Bosses, Homestead, and Guild.
Some are currently locked and cannot be clicked because the current level is not yet sufficient to unlock them.
Then there are backpacks, mounts, wings, pets, magic items, cultivation techniques, and so on.
At the bottom are the various skill buttons.
The auto-play button allows you to go offline with a single click, and you can also choose to aim at either players or monsters.
There is also a one-click health recovery function, but the cooldown time is relatively long, about five minutes.
Although he didn't know what other players' game panels looked like, this interface was sufficient for Jiang He's needs.
The experience pills and materials I had previously obtained were all in my backpack.
Jiang He was wearing a set of purple level 3 gear.
Equip the level 4 orange gear you obtained earlier.
Equipment of level 5 and above can be obtained from dungeons and bosses, or you can buy it directly with real money.
Level 5 equipment requires level 150 to wear.
The equipment that follows can be upgraded by one level every fifty levels.
Jiang He looked at the gold coins in her hand; she had 9999 billion.
That's a lot of money. No wonder he can send Lu Ming a million gold coins every day and still not go bankrupt.
This number was probably set by the programmer.
After all, every player has to pay a sum of money when they leave the starting village.
Jiang He decided to keep the money for herself.
It's your own money, so of course you should spend it on yourself.
Various materials and equipment can be purchased in the in-game store.
The in-game store within the "Game Master Development System" offers all items for free.
All gold coins spent on purchases will be fully refunded.
Jiang He bought a bunch of things, buying everything available in the store, and didn't lose a single gold coin.
However, experience can only be gained by completing tasks.
The system prompts that you can purchase experience potions, and it is recommended to use the highest level 5x experience potion directly.
Upgrade faster than others and become the true number one boss.
Jiang He bought five-times experience potions from the store; each potion lasts for one hour.
Jiang He used 24 bottles directly, thus maintaining a five-times experience boost for the entire day.
You can gain five times the experience by fighting monsters and running dungeons, which will speed up your leveling up.
Jiang He returned to the starting village and began completing the main quest.
In the beginner village, the NPCs changed their address for Jiang He from "boss lady" to "young hero".
She's disguised as a player; even the NPCs think she's a player.
However, after Jiang He returned to her restaurant, her player skin switched to an NPC skin.
The waiters and the manager of the restaurant all called her "the boss's wife".
Inside the restaurant, she was the proprietress who posted the tasks.
The game panel has also changed.
The NPC panel is very simple, consisting of a player list and player quests.
Different tasks can be assigned to players, along with corresponding reward settings.
The reward can only be set to something she already has in her inventory.
The gold coins, materials, and junk equipment she gets from completing quests in her backpack can all be given away as rewards.
The player currently appearing in the player list is player Jiang He.
Now she can assign tasks to player Jiang He and set corresponding rewards.
Jiang He set the task to write a signboard for a restaurant and then set the reward.
The rewards will be automatically extracted from your backpack, packaged into a single item, and placed in the rewards section.
The reward is that it comes in with the left hand and goes out with the right.
Jiang He left the restaurant, and the game panel changed. Her current main quest showed that the restaurant owner asked her to help her write a signboard for the restaurant.
Jiang He wrote down the words "Jiang's Restaurant".
She wants to open Jiang's Restaurant all over the game world.
Mission complete, reward received.
In addition to the rewards Jiang He packed, he also received 10,000 experience points.
It seems that these experience points are not provided by NPCs, but are likely a setting of the game itself.
Jiang He left the starting village and continued with the main quest.
Soon you reach level 200, and the main quest will only continue when you reach level 240.
Now Jiang He can only continue to gain experience points by running dungeons and fighting monsters.
Jiang He started by playing dungeons.
Dungeons also have different levels; players level 100 and above can enter, as can players level 200 and above.
Players choose a dungeon that matches their level.
If you can't beat a high-level dungeon, you can choose a lower-level dungeon.
After all, you can only get rewards by clearing the dungeon.
As your level increases, the dungeon rewards also become more generous.
However, these were not within Jiang He's considerations; she directly chose to enter the highest-level dungeon she could currently access.
In the team dungeon, Jiang He formed his own team and entered alone.
There is only one time-limited dungeon, which requires teamwork to complete and has not been cleared.
There were too many things to collect, and one person couldn't handle it all; it wasn't completed.
However, the rewards for that dungeon weren't very generous, since there was no need to fight monsters, so Jiang He chose to give up directly.
