Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 18: 30,000 people signed up?
[Ding! Players who wish to participate in the mission can register at the Wangyou County Government Office.]

[Beep, due to the high difficulty, players are advised to register in a team.]

[Ding! The points earned in this mission are tradable. To redeem rewards, you must go to the government office.]

[Ding! The points you earned will expire one month after the mission ends. Please note the redemption period.]

Less than half an hour after the system announcement appeared, the bulletin board of Wangyou County posted the announcement about the bandit attack and information on recruiting righteous people.

"Black Mountain Village? What's that?"

"They really dare to come to our Wangyou County!"

"Aren't they afraid of dying?"

The villagers gathered around the bulletin board stared at each other in bewilderment, wondering why bandits would dare to attack their Wangyou County.

Don't they know that this Forget-Worry County is under Lu Yuan's protection?

Are they really not afraid of death?
Although their chief constable hasn't caused any major incidents for five years.

However, this does not mean that their chief constable is incapable of handling major events.

Their chief constable was in charge of fire, not skin.

Anyone who dares to provoke him will only meet one end: death.

"This Black Mountain Stronghold seems to be a bandit stronghold that has risen in recent years. I guess they haven't heard of our Chief Constable's reputation."

"If they know the reputation of our chief constable and still dare to attack our Wangyou County, I can only suspect that the bandit leader has lost his mind."

"He's just ignorant."

"Back then, Qingcheng Mountain was arrogant too. Their leader, Qingchengzi, was only a third-rank martial artist. Everyone saw what happened to him in the end."

"I've heard of Black Mountain Stronghold. It has several thousand bandits under its command. The leader is the strongest, but he's only a fifth-rank martial artist."

"It's nothing special."

"This should be enough for the chief constable to warm up."

The vendor continued speaking to himself, without the slightest hint of panic.

He didn't even take it to heart.

These mountain bandits could be wiped out by their chief constable all by himself.

Lu Yuan was very confident about this.

"It was possible five years ago, but it's hard to say what will happen in five years."

A passerby suddenly said mysteriously.

"What do you mean? Five years ago, the chief constable could kill indiscriminately, and five years later, he can do the same."

"That was not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I mean, five years ago their men could barely warm up the chief constable, but five years later, who knows."

"Oh, I see, hahaha."

"That's hard to say."

"The chief constable five years from now will definitely be even stronger."

"There's going to be a good show."

……

"These NPCs are so confident."

Among the crowd, several players overheard the NPCs' conversation and were puzzled as to where these NPCs got their confidence from.

Just how strong is Lu Yuan?

curious.

"Never mind all that, wanna team up? I'm level 11, a ninth-rank martial artist."

"We must form a group! I'm level 10, a ninth-rank martial artist."

"Can you take me with you? I'm level eight, not far from becoming a ninth-rank martial artist."

"Sure, add me as a friend and team up."

"I'm the highest level, so I should be the team leader, right?"

"No problem, I'm at ease with your high level."

"By the way, I accept points. One point is worth ten yuan, and you can pay through the platform."

"A rich player?"

"I have a little money, but I'm not rich."

"Let me see what the points are."

"You get points for killing bandits. The points are based on the bandit's level. The higher the level, the more points you get. After killing a bandit, the points are split equally among the players in the same team."

"Hey, not bad."

“There are four of us. If we kill a level 10 bandit, each of us will get 2.5 points.”

"If we could take down that leader, wouldn't we be able to fly?"

"Go wash up and go to bed. What are you daydreaming about in broad daylight? That's a fifth-rank martial artist. Do the math yourself. He's level fifty. We're only a little over level ten. How are we going to fight a level fifty boss?"

"Dude, you have to have dreams, otherwise what's the difference between us and salted fish?"

"We can't beat the boss, but we can steal kills."

"The system doesn't say you can't steal kills." "Huh?"

"Makes sense."

"You're such a clever little devil."

……

Game forum.

[Hidden quest in Wangyou County, team required, level 10 or above. Those with special skills can message me privately.]

[Urgently need a large quantity of poison. Private message for transaction. Cash or silver accepted.]

Anyone want to team up? We're one player short.

[Could the registration period be extended? I'm in Nanjing, I can't make it in time! Ugh, I'm so frustrated!]

[I'm in the capital, or even further away, sob sob, I want to participate too! I want points, I want Xuan-level martial arts!]

[Buying points, bulk purchases welcome, price negotiable via private message.]

The gaming forums are very lively.

Various posts soliciting points and forming teams.

Outside the government office in Wangyou County, the scene was even more lively, with players already lined up in a long queue.

The quantity is staggering.

Furthermore, there were many players from nearby areas at the city gate, who were on their way.

Although the system says that players within a hundred miles of Wangyou County can register, the system actually has very few restrictions. Even if you are a player from a hundred miles away, as long as you can enter Wangyou County within the limited time, you can register.

Those players who couldn't make it in time weren't discouraged.

Because the points redemption for this task does not impose any restrictions on players.

Even if you don't participate in the mission, as long as you have points, you can still redeem rewards from the Wangyou County Government Office.

In this way, many players who live far from Wangyou County and cannot make it there can obtain points through trading.

Anyway, the points will be retained for a month after the mission ends.

Even if you are in a remote or isolated location, a month is enough time for you to get here.

……

"There are too many extraordinary people."

"I have a feeling that there are more of these superhumans than the registered population of our Wangyou County."

"Is this reasonable?"

"Who is the guest and who is the host?"

The clerk in charge of registration had his hands broken from copying so many records.

In just one afternoon, nearly 30,000 people signed up.

Oh My God.

How many bandits are there?

There are only a few thousand bandits in Black Mountain Stronghold.

A few thousand people against thirty thousand, or even more.

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

The minor official suddenly felt a pang of pity for the bandits of Black Mountain Stronghold.

"Don't worry about it."

"Someone is helping us defend against the bandits, what other objections do you have?"

"The question of who is the host and who is the guest is not something we need to worry about."

"That's something the emperor should worry about."

"Mind your own business."

Lu Yuan rebuked the petty official for being nosy.

"Chief Constable, you shouldn't need to take action this time, right?"

"Hard to say."

"Although there are many of these superhumans, their strength is too weak."

Lu Yuan glanced at the players and saw their levels appear above their heads one by one.

Level 5.

Level 4.

Level 11.

There are very few players above level 10.

The players are generally around level five or six, and there are also some level one or two players who are just taking advantage of the situation.

emmm.

It's tough to keep up.
