The King's Avatar: Gun Soul

Chapter 312 Designer's Prank

Knowing that this was a unique competitive task, Xiao Ce began to look forward to the final reward of this task.

Even if it's not a flying mount, it's definitely a very good item.

But now, a player who is suspected to be a competitor has appeared, and there may be more than just these players of this type.

At present, the [Contact Person] named Yuna has not appeared yet.

Or it has already appeared, but we don’t know who it is.

There are only three female NPCs in the tavern.

One is the owner of the tavern, who may be a contact person with a hidden identity.

Not sure, take a closer look.

This lady boss still looks charming
It can be seen that the game setting is an exquisite NPC.

Then there is the waiter in the bar, who looks like an ordinary person.

But, you can't judge a person by appearance. What if she is just that kind of inconspicuous person, and she is the target we are looking for?

Therefore, this waiter may also be a target.

The last female NPC came here to drink. She drank several cups of Luosang in a row, as if she was addicted. It may also be a cycle set in the game.

For these three NPCs, Xiao Ce can find reasons why the other party is a [contact person] from certain angles, but he can also find reasons why the other party is not a [contact person] at the same time.

Both are possible, and both are not possible.

The task description clearly states that this task requires players to fully utilize their intelligence and talents.

However, we don’t know what the thinking of the game designer who designed this task was.

But obviously, the first step of this task is to test the player's observation ability.

It would be wrong to set the difficulty so high right from the start and if the mission rewards were not good enough.

Before the mission even started, Xiao Ce had already started thinking about the mission rewards.

At this moment, Xiao Ce supported his chin with one hand and asked without turning his head: "Did you find anything, Brother Ye?"

Logically speaking, Ye Xiu has been playing this game since it was launched, so he should have a very good understanding of the game.

However, Xiao Ce was thinking about one thing: Ye Xiu should have spent more time on the game, right?
As expected, Ye Xiu said, “Although I am called the textbook of Glory, that is only my understanding of each profession. I am not that familiar with the task system in the game. But why are you asking me? Isn’t anyone asking? Someone knows the task system better than me.”

"Well, you're okay." Xiao Luce was speechless for a moment. Fortunately, he came to play with Ye Xiu, and he also brought Mu Qiu with him.

At this time, Su Muqiu's voice sounded: "If it is still the same game designer as before, then I may know a little about that designer's character. You should observe the surrounding situation more. Finding different places may be the key to the task."

A different place?

After listening to this, Xiao Ce became thoughtful.

His observation ability has always been online. Now that he has a direction, he can quickly discover the details of different angles in the tavern.

In the tavern, the conversations between NPCs are always stuck in a loop, and there are always only a few actions.

Their conversations are always the same few sentences, which makes people's ears callused.

But there are also differences among them.

The cycle of each NPC is actually different, there are long cycles and short cycles.

Xiao Ce tried to interact with these NPCs.

There are new discoveries.

When interacting with these NPCs, the responses they gave were different from before, but still just a few sentences.

When interacting with a drunk, the most common response he gave was: Bring me some wine, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight. The responses of other people were similar.

But there is a small detail here. These NPCs have all mentioned a kind of wine in the tavern.

This kind of wine is Luosang, it tastes very strange and no one likes to drink it.

In this case, the female NPC who came to this tavern and kept refilling her Luosang wine would be very suspicious.

Could it be that she is the target?
Xiao Ce looked at the female NPC, whose name was Lan Xi.

Trying to control the character to come to the NPC, Xiao Ce asked the waiter in front of him for a glass of Luosang.

【Do you like this kind of wine too? 】

The waitress Lena blurted out a new line.

This new line was triggered when Xiao Ce asked for a glass of wine.

Then, the system gives several dialogue options.

However, Xiao Ce didn't care too much about it, and instead focused his attention on another NPC.

The interaction with NPCs is relatively mechanical. Usually, after clicking on the interaction, the NPC will trigger some fixed dialogues.

But there are also some situations where if you keep talking to the NPC and try a few times, some key conversations will be triggered.

Historically, games have been developed with NPC dialogue systems in this way, and it has become a system.

After all, game NPCs are unlikely to be very intelligent.

After trying to talk to her several times, Xiao Ce got the information that this NPC didn't like Luosang wine. Instead, she had a strange disease, and she drank this wine by chance, which alleviated her symptoms.

Afterwards, Xiao Ce actually triggered a mission, which was to help find an antidote.

"You've received the mission. Take a look." Ye Xiu next to him immediately became interested.

Judging from the current situation, his Jun Moxiao might also be able to participate in this mission.

However, this task may really be unique. Whoever completes it first gets it.

In this case, there is no need to compete with Xiao Ce.

There will be many opportunities to compete in the future, and the real test will be shown on the field.

Outside the arena, they are now considered good friends.

"But it seems that we don't need to do this task anymore." Su Muqiu said suddenly.

"Oh?" Xiao Ce exclaimed in surprise.

Su Muqiu continued, "Here we need to observe which NPC might be the target person. Several details are given, one of which is this Luosang wine. If we focus on the source of this Luosang wine, we may be able to find the answer."

"The origin of Luosang wine, etc." Xiao Ce said, and carefully took a look at the introduction of Luosang wine: This is a kind of wine with a very strange taste, and people in the town don’t like to drink it; but Xiao Luo often promotes this wine.

Xiao Luo is the waiter in the tavern.

So whoever made this wine may be the source.

"There's something wrong with this waiter." Xiao Ce rubbed his chin and fell into thought.

"Did you notice?" Su Muqiu continued, "Just now the waiter asked you what you thought of Luosang wine. I think it was another prank by the designer. He wanted the players to praise an NPC."

"Praise, praise as much as you can." Xiao Ce said immediately.

"Haha. Just watch." Su Muqiu said without saying much. He believed that with Xiao Ce's understanding, he already understood what to do.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
