Chapter 85.2
Seeing the administrator's confused expression as if he didn't remember anything, Ya Ya was immediately anxious and quickly reminded him.
"It's, it's the task reward... didn't you give me the task of grilling the crab leg? I've done it already, right?"
Chu Guang was silent for a while, looked at her with a strange expression, and nodded slowly.
"Mhm, it's done."
Hearing these words, Ya Ya's face rekindled hope, and the light of hope reflected in her eyes.
"Then..."
Chu Guang: "... but didn't you eat it too?"
Ya Ya: "???"
What the heck!
This is the reward?!
...
‘You can't be too greedy.’
‘Having lunch with the great administrator and enjoying a more noble delicacy than the king crab, is it not enough to be a reward?’
No matter how much the player gnashed her teeth, Chu Guang, who didn't want to talk, looked at her with that "I am an NPC" expression.
He understood Little Seven a little now.
A lot of things could become easier if he pretended to be a fool.
In the end, Ya Ya still failed to get the reward she expected from the respected administrator, leaving this place that made her sad.
However, the powerful Ya Ya was only sad for two seconds, and soon regained her spirit.
In fact, in a rational analysis, there was no task without reward, because it did not conform to the logic of game design!
Especially for this kind of "exclusive mission" that the core NPC "specifically asked" a certain player to do. The mission had not failed, so it was even more unlikely that there would be no reward at all.
The reward must have already been given!
It was just not through money or contribution points, but in another way.
Ya Ya instantly thought of what she had previously chatted with the game planner in the private messages on the site. Her eyes gradually held a spark of excitement, and she whispered to herself.
"That's right, NPCs have a favorability setting. Why did I forget such important information!"
If he didn't give experience or didn't give money, then he must have given me favorability points!
Ah, why am I so stupid!
I actually asked NPC for a reward!
Fortunately, the NPC didn't give me. Otherwise, if the reward became silver coins, wouldn't it be regrettable!?
Thinking of this, Ya Ya felt fortunate. Fortunately, she didn't insist. Fortunately, her reluctance didn't make the administrator change his mind.
The only pity is that the favorability cannot be checked. It is said that the weight value was hidden. I wonder how much favorability I earned from this task.
However, aren't all the virtual MMO web novels like this?
In those novels, the NPC would only give compliments to the protagonist after they made a simple meal for them. After a while, when the protagonist and the readers almost forgot about it, the NPC would suddenly come out to show their sense of existence. They would give the protagonist some ridiculous cheats to slap their opponents' faces, making readers feel very satisfied.
This meal is definitely foreshadowing!
I must have seen similar content in some novels before, it must be! I just read too much, and I can't remember which one it was at the moment.
The more Ya Ya thought about it, the more she believed that it was possible.
Ya Ya, who was still a little frustrated at first, couldn't close her mouth and kept smirking, as if seizing the future.
Favorability.
Haha.
Hidden mission!
Muhahaha.
Suddenly, the vast snow outside the house and the cool breeze that blew around her ears and ankles didn't feel so cold.
Teng Teng, holding a basket of fur, came out of the warehouse at this time. Seeing the silly smile on Ya Ya's face when she walked past her, she couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Um...
Is she okay?
It looks like she ate the wrong mushroom.
However, Teng Teng only glanced at her twice, and then stopped paying attention to her. She hummed a cheerful little tune, and continued to walk to the tailor's workshop not far from the warehouse.
This evening, the great and wise administrator would allocate land to her to build a tailor's cabin.
At that time, her identity would change from a small tailor Teng Teng to the big boss Teng Teng!
Teng Teng has already thought about it.
It didn't matter whether she became a rich woman or not, mainly because she liked to make clothes. She wanted to make those clothes with her carefully designed LOGO sold in the whole wasteland!
At that time, not only the players, but even the NPCs in the game would be wearing clothes designed by her.
A completely real virtual reality game.
It's really awesome!!!
...
In the afternoon.
The snow was getting thicker and thicker.
In order to prevent the trenches from being buried by snow, Chu Guang instructed the players on duty at the gates to report to him as soon as they found that the trenches were flooded or snow-covered.
At the same time, in order to prevent Marauders from approaching in the heavy snow, he sent two perception type and two agile type players to team up from the north gate and east gate of the wetland park and carefully investigate along the main road.
Once there was a situation, they needed to report back immediately.
After finishing arranging all these things, Chu Guang put on a deerskin coat, and then walked to the industrial area north of the nursing home.
He brought four pieces of wood, two of which were stood up before the gate, and the other two were attached to the nursing home building, measuring a main road that was 5 meters wide.
The area of the entire outpost was actually not very large. If measured from the wall, the length and width of the outpost was just over a hundred meters.
The five-meter-wide main road was a bit unnecessary, but for future planning, Chu Guang decided to make the road around the "resurrection point" wider.
After the main road was standardized, Chu Guang used a branch to mark the main road at intervals along the main road like drawing grids. At the same time, he marked the corresponding points on the map board before the outpost, and marked the area before the point with a number.
After that, signs would be inserted into the circled plots, which correspond to the grids drawn on the map one by one.
"Tsk, I didn't expect that surveying and mapping would be such a technical job."
Had he known that it would be this troublesome, he would have found a physical education teacher to help him.
It just happened that the area just inside the wall was a bit larger than the school playground.
He remembered that when he was in school, there was no laser mapping instrument. The physical education teacher could draw a straight line on the playground simply with a spoon. The line was even straighter than the line the math teacher drew on the blackboard.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Chu Guang shook the snow on his notebook, returned to the nursing home, and gathered the Life Profession players who had previously been approved for using the industrial land.
In fact, there shouldn't be many people involved. After all, he approved only five projects, including Mosquito's project after he resubmitted his application.
However, there were far more players gathering around than there should have been.
The vast majority of people just came to join the fun.
"Time to split the land!"
"Land reform!"
"I hope my steel workshop is closer to the resurrection point."
"It's not realistic, you fill such a large area, how can it be next to the resurrection point? Don't think about it!"
The noise never stopped.
With meticulous seriousness on his face, Chu Guang cleared his throat, holding a small notebook in his hand, and announced his arrangements loudly.
"The approved industrial land has been marked on the map."
"Players who have been approved for the submitted project, please come forward and claim it yourself."
