After Favorability Is Maxed

Chapter 16



The Consequences of Habitually Accepting Quests

The more Liu Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that he transmigrated here just to scam NPCs.

“But what else can I do if I don’t scam them?”

Liu Yuan sighed deeply. “If I don’t help Siyin, I can indeed stay out of this. I can leave this morning, take the double exp scroll, find a remote sect, marry an ordinary 1 or 2-star NPC, and live a peaceful life. My cultivation speed won’t be too slow, and then... Then I might have some achievements.”

As he thought of this, he revealed a somewhat distressed expression. “But who would let the cards that they had worked so hard to get marry someone else?”

Liu Yuan called out his illustrated interface and looked at all his cards, and there the system page was filled to the brim. He was satisfied.

“I want them all!”

Liu Yuan’s gaze was firm. He completely understood his current thoughts. No matter what, his cards were still his cards. He could not give it to anyone else.

“So the first thing I have to do is to increase my strength!”

Just like countless online novels, the upper realm was respected by strength. As long as one could level up, there would basically be no problems.

“There’s still some time on Siyin’s side. Ma Shu is still good at setting people up. Yue Longzhang’s death this time will also tarnish his reputation. Water Moon Dock will also be in chaos for a while. As long as I can drag it out until I reach the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage and above, the newbie dungeon will be no problem.”

Liu Yuan calculated in his heart as he walked down the mountain path. Sure enough, he saw a small town below the villa.

This town was called Xichang Town.

The location of Chiyu Villa was called the Jiuyuan mountain range.

Previously, the treasure digging location of the monkey wine that Liu Yuan mentioned, Tigerfang Mountain, was part of the Jiuyuan mountain range. It stretched for thousands of miles, and there was Ling River in the middle. The ‘stream’ of Xichang Town was a branch of the Ling River.

The town was near a mountain and a river, and it was rich in resources.

“Is this an ancient street?” Liu Yuan stood at the entrance of the town, at the junction of the mountain path and the bluestone street, and looked around curiously.

The town was similar to the ancient towns like Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen that he had been to during the summer break in his previous life. It had rows upon rows of white walls and black tiles, old wooden doors, and some trees on both sides of the door to enjoy the shade.

Occasionally, there would be passing craftsmen carrying poles and peddling, but they could not be seen in the market.

The townspeople who came and went were all dressed in ordinary sackcloth. Most of them had been providing food and drink for the villa for generations, and the villa would protect their safety and regularly select some children to go up the mountain to practice martial arts.

The traffic here was blocked, and there was no need to receive guests often, so the commerce was not developed, and most of them were self-sufficient.

“Hmm ... I remember it’s this way. Go through a small alley, then turn left, pass a study, and that’s Xie Qian’s house.”

As Liu Yuan recalled the terrain in the game, his eyes lingered on his surroundings for a while.

“Hey, Master, where do you want to go? Or do you have any questions to ask? Why don’t you tell me? I, Ding Liu, willl answer everything I know.”

Suddenly, a short and chubby dwarfish came up to him. He had short arms and legs, was white and fat, and was a ball-like dwarfish. He squinted his eyes and laughed.

Ding Liu, the broker who wandered between the town and the villa all year round.

After all, Chiyu Villa was well-known in the pugilistic world. Although no one would visit it for no reason, the martial arts practitioners would come over every three to five days to visit it as a scenic spot... Well, to admire it.

Sometimes, he was curious, or even pretending to be curious, so he naturally wanted to ask about the situation in the villa.

Based on his experience, he should ask the well-informed people in the town at the foot of the mountain.

But in fact ... Ding Liu was a member of the assassination organization led by the Housekeeper of the villa, He Ren, and was in charge of intelligence.

In fact, you set me up, and I set you up.

The Jianghu was dangerous and hard to guard against.

Liu Yuan looked at him and did not look surprised. Instead, he said with great familiarity, “There’s no need for directions, but there’s a problem.”

Ding Liu was an NPC had left a deep impression on him back in the novice village.

This was because most of the missions during the novice stage required Dinglue to complete.

Things like sending things, looking for cats and dogs, running errands, and all kinds of side quests were basically released by this short guy.

It could be seen how wide this person’s connections in the town were. They looked for him for everything and went deep into the grassroots.

“Ask away.” Ding Liu nodded his head.

Liu Yuan lowered his head and suddenly squinted his eyes as he smiled. “Has the arrow wound on your knee from 20 years ago healed?”

Ding Liu’s expression froze for a moment before he immediately smiled. “Master, I don’t understand what you’re saying. My knees are perfectly fine, it’s just that my legs are a little short. You can’t make fun of me.”

He jumped on the spot, and the ball of fat shook. There was a ‘boing, boing’ sound effect.

Liu Yuan’s smile remained unchanged as he waved his hand. “I’m not laughing at you. I just suddenly thought of something funny. I don’t have anything to help you with. You can go find someone else to do your business with.”

Then, he walked into the alley.

He was not lying. Although he had just taken Yue Longzhang’s storage bag from Ma Shu, there were indeed only spirit stones inside, and no money.

Liu Yuan took two steps and stopped. He turned back and said, “If I remember correctly, there will be a group of Jianghu people coming over in a few days. They have the Profound Cold Jade in their hands.”

Then, he left again.

After Liu Yuan had walked far away and disappeared into the alley, Ding Liu’s smile immediately fell.

He rubbed his hands together, and the sound of metal clashing was heard.

Upon closer inspection, one would notice that his chubby palm had become muscular in an instant, and his skin had become black and hard with a metallic luster.

The Henglian Hardening skills in the pugilistic world could not reach such a height. Only Immortal cultivators had the magical power to change the shape of the body.

Ding Liu, the broker who mingled in the marketplace, was an Immortal cultivator.

“20 years ago, I betrayed Bi Luo Mansion and was shot in the knee by a flaming arrow. Although I was cured later, there are still some lingering effects. How did this man know about it?” Ding Liu muttered.

“And I’ve been looking for it...”

The perplexed Ding Liu naturally did not know that he had once issued a mission to the players called ‘Veterans don’t die, only their knees hurt’.

Liu Yuan circled around a few times and finally found the Xie residence.

There were a few banana leaves sticking out of the gate, which was somewhat out of place with the surroundings.

As for Ding Liu’s reaction, he was now an honored guest of Chiyu Villa. Ever since he was saved by Gu Feidao 20 years ago, Ding Liu had been loyal to this Marquis of Ding An.

Without Gu Feidao’s permission, he naturally would not be hostile to Liu Yuan.

Furthermore, Liu Yuan had also given him a clear path.

Liu Yuan was stunned.

This was indeed a side quest, but they were not in a game, and Ding Liu would not give them any rewards.

Besides, he could not even protect himself now, so how could he do a few side missions?

“F*ck, I’m used to accepting side missions.”

Liu Yuan stood in front of the Xie family’s residence with a depressed look on his face. The guards at the door hesitated when they saw his eyes.

This person, this gaze...

Could it be that the Old Master’s ‘I won’t grant you an audience, and yet played the zither for you in the courtyard’ trick had made him so angry that her lungs had exploded?

They could not quite remember.

The guard felt that it was a tricky situation and did not know how to deal with the guest who had the perseverance to come to the house a second time.
