WTYTIAAN Chapter 190

## Chapter 190

[Who understands, my fellow family members? I ran into a profiteer in the game!]

0L: This profiteer is too much of a profiteer!

1L: This profiteer is too much of a profiteer!

2L: This profiteer is too much of a profiteer!

……

8L: I don’t understand. What kind of formation is this? Is code language popular in the forum now? Can someone decode it?

9L: This profiteer (Haha, Bage is too honest, definitely not a player from our Roque Town.

10L: I feel relieved after seeing this post. It seems I’m not the only one who emptied my money bag (silence).

11L replying to 8L: It should be referring to that traveling merchant NPC in Roque Town. Didn’t a player post the traveling merchant’s task on the forum before? After completing the task, players in that area can open the traveling merchant’s product list. Today, that task was completed, and everyone online went to join in the fun.

12L: Who understands, my fellow family members? I only saved up that little bit of gold coins in my backpack, and I contributed them all to that profiteer. He even gave me a loan to buy his things QAQ. I lost my mind and agreed, and now I’m burdened with a debt of 10,000 gold coins in the game, sob sob.

13L: It’s obvious you didn’t download the anti-fraud app (shakes head).

14L: But that skill looks really tempting! After learning two magic spells, my efficiency in farming monsters has become higher. I just sold a newly acquired item for a lot of gold coins, and I feel like I’ll soon be able to save enough gold coins to repay my debt.

15L: What skill? Isn’t there only a product list? I saw that the things in the product list are all things I can’t use, so I didn’t bother with it. Does the product list also sell skills?

16L: The product list sells skills???

17L: No, what are you all talking about? What traveling merchant? Why don’t we have it in Norman 02??

18L replying to 17L: This seems to be a serendipitous NPC. It will only refresh if certain conditions are met. You have to do a task to open the product list, and it doesn’t seem to be a permanent stay. That traveling merchant NPC said that it will only stay in Roque Town for two days.

19L: Kill me, return my mother’s gold coins, profiteer!!!

20L replying to 15L: There is another skill list, which requires spending money and skill points to learn from the traveling merchant. However, it seems that opening it requires a certain level of favorability. Someone has already compiled the function of the items in the traveling merchant’s product list and the conditions for refreshing the skill list in this post → [Click link to enter: Roque Town Traveling Merchant NPC Product List and Skill List Compilation]

21L: Kill me, why is it so difficult to gain favorability with this NPC? It requires spending 10,000 gold coins in his shop to increase favorability by one point?!

22L: Speaking of which, can’t you borrow money from that NPC to buy things? Borrow a little more, buy everything in one go, and then just deny it later.

23L: 22nd floor, your idea is very beautiful, but after signing that contract, it can be forcibly deducted from your system money bag. Four-fifths of the money you get from doing tasks and killing monsters will be directly deducted to pay off the debt.

24L: Four-fifths… Who wouldn’t call him a profiteer after seeing that!

25L: Great, he’s a profiteer, we’re saved!

26L: He could have just robbed my gold coins directly, but he still gave me an item. This traveling merchant is so nice (crying).

27L: It’s cold, the traveling merchant puts his hand into your money bag to warm it up.JPG

28L: This profiteer is too much of a profiteer!

……

Yan Yunqing coughed twice, and closed all the posts accusing him of being a profiteer, feeling a little guilty.

Actually, he didn’t originally intend to go so far. After all, profiteer was just an attribute he added to the hidden-face [Nolan] identity, but after he successfully made the first transaction, Yan Yunqing discovered a bit of a system loophole.

The proceeds from the things he sells all go to him, including those skills. When players spend gold coins and skill points to learn from him, those gold coins and skill points all belong to him.

Those are skill points!

You only get five points each time you level up. They only appear as a rare drop in some hidden missions and dungeons, which shows how scarce skill points are.

He had previously discovered that he could issue tasks with skill point rewards, and he even wanted to use his player alt to take the tasks himself, but he gave up because his two alts couldn’t be controlled at the same time. Now that he discovered that he could actually obtain skill points from players, how could he resist not scamming the players?

In the future, he could first issue a task with skill point rewards, and after the players complete the task and receive the task point reward, he could then flaunt his skill panel in front of the players, successfully obtaining the skill points turned over by the players.

In this way, he gets the skill points, and the players get the skills and task experience. A win-win situation, how great.

Not only that, but he can also get a batch of useful player coolies, and even scour more gold coins from the players, and by the way, clean up the garbage items he got from the blind boxes in his backpack.

Double win, meaning Yan Yunqing wins twice, triple win, meaning Yan Yunqing wins three times.

Great, he’s a profiteer, we’re saved.

The smile on Yan Yunqing’s face almost couldn’t be concealed.

If he could get some experience from the players, that would be great. It’s a pity that the items in the product list can’t be directly purchased with experience. Yan Yunqing lacks experience but doesn’t lack gold coins. If it could be changed to experience, he wouldn’t even need to do tasks. It would be enough to harvest a crop of leeks from the players every day.

Painless leveling up.

Thinking like this, Yan Yunqing glanced at his level, and just this one glance made him stunned.

Huh? When did he reach level 75? Wasn’t he still level 74 before?

Yan Yunqing was a little strange. He clearly remembered that his level was still a little bit away from breaking through to level 75. He was originally planning to find a time to kill a monster to make up for the missing experience, so how did he suddenly level up?

He clearly remembered that he hadn’t killed any monsters or done any tasks recently, so where did this experience come from?

If he had to say it, he just issued two tasks to the players and then the players completed them…

…Hmm?

No way?

Yan Yunqing hesitated, could it be that when he issues tasks to the players, he also gains experience after they complete them?

This… is it still his golden finger after all?

Yan Yunqing, who once felt that the existence of the system and the game was in some ways monitoring him, was silent.

Weird.

Yan Yunqing rubbed his hair and decided to put this matter aside for now. He continued to browse the forum, reading all the recent posts about game complaints, and piecing together a little information from the players’ fragments.

Indeed, people from the official side have entered the scene.

Yan Yunqing’s expression was strange, because in these posts, he found posts suspected of being issued by official personnel to control public opinion.

The presence of those posts is actually not strong, and it is even difficult to see that they are posts controlling public opinion.

However, Yan Yunqing has experience in this area. His parents were both police officers who died in the line of duty. It can be said that Yan Yunqing grew up in the police station, and later he was adopted by his parents’ colleague and superior uncle. He knows the things in the police station very well.

Especially after fully entering the Internet age, the police station also has a so-called cyber police department, which not only needs to be responsible for network security, but sometimes also responsible for controlling some negative public opinion.

Yan Yunqing knows the public opinion control rhetoric that the official side will use very well. Although these posts are done more cleverly and are not conspicuous, when Yan Yunqing observes these posts when he already has some guesses, he can naturally see the meaning of many posts being issued.

Yan Yunqing smacked his lips twice, and actually tasted something from it.

For example—the official people are guiding the players to be wary of this world. They also seem to believe that this world is a real world.

This is a bit interesting, why do the official people think so? Do they know something?

Yan Yunqing never underestimates anyone because of his own uniqueness. Just like even though he has the title of Demon King, he really wants to know what the prophecy is, but he still doesn’t dare to rely on his identity as the Demon King to directly find Theodore.

He is even less likely to underestimate the official people, thinking that they entered the game a year later than him, and therefore don’t know as much as him.

Sometimes taking yourself too seriously will lead to big losses.

Yan Yunqing lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, found a safe place, and switched to the player alt.

[Rian] logged in.

Including the days he fell into a dream, he hadn’t logged in to this player alt for ten days. [Rian]’s level was about to fall out of the top 100 on the level list, but the wealth list was still in the top 50.

It seems that the players are really working hard to level up.

Yan Yunqing glanced at the first place on the level list, level 21. This level is considered a leading first place. The second place on the level list is only level 19. He is already leading others by 2 levels.

Yan Yunqing leveled [Rian] to level 18, instantly rising from 98th place on the level list to 7th place, maintaining a position in the forefront but not particularly conspicuous.

Looking at the 21st level of the first place on the level list, Yan Yunqing inexplicably felt a sense of urgency. Although the game level does rise quickly in the beginning, later on, it will slow down for everyone, but Yan Yunqing still feels that these players are too competitive.

He is only 54 levels higher than the players, and he always feels that he will be caught up by these grinding maniacs at any time.

Then his mysterious persona will not be preserved. A level gap that is too small will allow the players’ investigation to detect the truth.

He has to quickly widen the distance again.

Yan Yunqing thought, and conveniently added the IDs Merlin gave him to the special attention list, so that as long as he gets close to the other party, the system panel will prompt him.

Everything was ready, he asked “Flame” for the location of one of the ID players.

OK, get ready to go crash into someone.

*

Outer edge of the Norman Forest.

A team composed of three swordsmen and two magicians appeared here, and in front of them was a low-level monster, also Yan Yunqing’s old friend [Grimace Earthworm].

One of the magicians threw a fireball spell over, hitting the Grimace Earthworm in the face—which can be considered a face, after all, this thing has nothing but a long strip of body that is constantly dripping mucus, and a mouth full of tiny sharp teeth.

The fireball landed on that mouth, and the Grimace Earthworm let out a hoarse and unpleasant scream, causing the five people present to frown.

The magician who threw the fireball spell complained: “Where does this guy make the sound from? So why can earthworms make a sound?”

“This is a magical world, and you’re still worried about why earthworms can make a sound?” Another swordsman deftly dodged the Grimace Earthworm’s attack, and slashed the Grimace Earthworm with a sword, leaving a shallow white mark. He spat, “How did this thing evolve? Can’t even cut it open?”

The magician who was retorted by the swordsman said quietly: “This is a magical world, and you’re still worried about how earthworms evolved?”

Another player, also a swordsman, but obviously the captain, with the ID [Yingyi], said lightly: “Concentrate, kill this enemy, this monster first before chatting.”

The two people who were still arguing immediately stopped talking, and focused on using their limited attack skills to slowly grind the Grimace Earthworm’s health.

Finally, after the last fireball spell fell, the Grimace Earthworm crashed to the ground, its huge body slammed on the ground, turned into light spots and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, the five people did not show surprised expressions. They were the first batch of players to enter the game team. Since they were able to step out of the newbie village, they have united to fight monsters. They were no longer surprised by the unscientific disappearance of the monsters after death.

The captain [Yingyi] looked at the items dropped by the Grimace Earthworm, casually turned off and waved his hand to let others collect them. This low-level monster will not drop too many valuable items, but for them, even garbage must be retained for the people above to study.
