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

Chapter 41: Incense Offering, Temple Collapses, Players Take the Blame
"I've packed my things, I'm leaving."

"Mount."

"Let's go."

After offering incense, the group ate some meat and then continued their journey.

Not long after Lu Yuan and the others left.

Suddenly, some noises arose in the smoke-shrouded temple.

The statue, which had remained uncorroded by wind and rain, suddenly emitted a buzzing sound.

The statue was shaking.

The incense burner on the offering table shattered into pieces with a loud bang.

The once clearly defined and vividly depicted statue became blurry and lost its original luster. It then quickly collapsed and crumbled, leaving only a small mound of earth.

The dilapidated temple, now devoid of its idols, began to crumble.

Not long after.

A loud crashing sound came from behind.

The temple, which had existed for countless years, collapsed inexplicably.

half a month later.

In Longdan Village, a family was getting married and was about to come over to offer sacrifices to the gods.

But what I saw was a wasteland.

"Damn, where's the temple?"

"Where is our temple? Where did it go? Such a big temple, how come it's disappeared?"

"Who did this? What beast did it? They demolished our temple and stole our Water and Land Gods. Aren't they afraid of being struck by lightning for doing such a thing?"

"What a beast! He's such a beast!"

"Are you crazy? Why would you steal gold and silver Buddha statues from a temple instead of our stone deity, and even demolish our temple?"

"This is a provocation, a blatant provocation."

"Do you think we Longtan people are easy to bully?"

"Village chief, we must take revenge."

"hateful."

The people of Longdan Village were so angry that they screamed.

"I suspect it was done by an alien."

"Is there any evidence?"

"Evidence? Our divine lord has been stolen, what evidence do we need?"

"A normal person, as long as they're not mentally ill, would steal a stone."

"Only those extraordinary individuals would do such a thing."

The villagers shouted and yelled.

They all demanded an explanation from the players.

"I agree."

“A few days ago, I even saw a strange man stealing my excrement. He was lurking around near my outhouse, wasn’t he just stealing my excrement?”

"Yeah, who doesn't know that those superhumans are crazy? They're always sneaking around like that. Maybe they're the ones who did it this time."

"Report to the authorities, we must report to the authorities and have them arrested."

……

Game forum.

[Attention, players near Longdan Village, stay away! Those NPCs have gone mad! They're telling everyone we players stole their idols and blew up their temple. They're insane!]

The NPCs in Longdan Village have always been a bit off their minds. The other day, I was digging for earthworms and fishing in Longdan Village when suddenly an old woman appeared and accused me of stealing their excrement. What a nutcase! Why would I steal manure?

[Haha, cough cough, sorry, I don't usually laugh, I'm just curious, where did you dig up the earthworm?]

[It's near their toilet.]

Are you sure you didn't steal manure?

【What the heck? What do you mean? Is it illegal for me to dig for earthworms?】

"You can't dig for earthworms there! Why did you have to go dig in someone else's toilet? Please, ancient toilets were dry toilets, open-air latrines, the smell was unbearable! You went there to dig for earthworms? I seriously suspect you actually stole manure." "Damn it, have you never fished before? Do I really have to spell it out for you? I'm digging for maggots, maggots, get it? You bastard."

Fishermen are truly amazing; they'll try anything to catch a fish.

【Hahaha. 】

The NPCs in Longdan Village have been quite aggressive lately. Guys nearby, be careful not to get beaten up.

[What's there to be afraid of? A bunch of trash NPCs. If they mess with me, I'll massacre the whole village, you believe me?]

[Wow, GTA player, that's fierce!]

I hope you'll be just as arrogant when the authorities issue a warrant for your arrest.

We, the players of the Demonic Path, are truly fearless.

[Evil spirits and heretics should be punished by everyone. Fellow citizens, join my Emperor's banner and help me slay these evil spirits.]

Dude, why is your Emperor's Flag emitting black smoke so cool?

That's purple aura, the purple aura of the Human Emperor, so purple it's almost black, do you understand?

I think you're the biggest demon leader.

[Any players in the Desert faction? We're looking for players of both righteous and demonic paths to farm kills, stats, and points. DM me if interested.]

Does "killing" (intentionally gaining kills) count?

"It depends on your sect's rules. Anyway, in my sect, the Yellow Sand Sect, we can exchange identity tokens for points."

Which sect are you from?

[The Demonic Path of the Yellow Sand Sect.]

[Holy crap, the Yellow Sand Sect, the number one sect in the desert! I'm so envious. I searched for ages to find a place to join, so I ended up joining Flying Sword Manor.]

[Wait, Flying Sword Manor? Hahaha, your sect is on the list of sects, wanna give each other a boost?]

[Yes, please message me privately.]

……

[Note: Once your Order value exceeds 1000, you can obtain a government job offer, as well as huge hidden benefits.]

From the very beginning of the server launch, I noticed the Order Value system. After several months of research, I finally discovered that reaching a certain Order Value threshold grants a reward.

Most of these rewards are intangible.

[Increased salary, increased NPC favorability, etc., are all considered rewards.]

When my Order value reaches 800, if I have a dispute with another player, the authorities will favor me in making the judgment.

When my Order Points reached 1,000, the head constable of my county personally came to invite me to join the yamen and become a constable.

[Tch, clickbait. I can join the government even with zero order points. Why bother with all that effort to grind? All that effort for a lowly constable? What's there to brag about?]

[Those who betrayed their brother to join the Eastern and Western Depots, shut up. It just makes you look stupid.]

[Where are the benefits? Where are the benefits? Where are the benefits exceeding one thousand?]

The author replied: "[It's easier to trigger hidden quests.]"

The author replied: "After joining the government office for about a week, I triggered three hidden side quests with particularly generous rewards."

Holy crap, is this for real?

【real.】

My current Order value is 600. Increasing the Order value does indeed make it easier to trigger hidden quests, not just in government offices, but also with ordinary NPCs. Those of you with high Order values ​​should interact with NPCs more often.

Don't underestimate any NPC. Some NPCs may seem useless, but they can actually trigger amazing quests.

[The Order stat is too difficult to increase. It's recommended to follow the Demonic Path to farm Chaos stats, as Chaos stats can also trigger hidden quests.]

Most importantly, chaos points are easier to accumulate.

Come on, stop trying to trick people into taking the demonic path. Why don't you mention that a higher Chaos value makes you more vulnerable to being targeted by demon-slaying NPCs? A slightly higher Chaos value makes you more likely to be targeted by high-level NPCs, get killed, and lose more experience and items – a truly miserable fate.

Dude, how do you know all this?

[How could I not know? I was camped by a bald NPC for half a month, losing nine levels in the process. I was forced to turn over a new leaf.]

【miserable.】
