Chapter 42: The Goblin Hero NPC's Favor!
Whoosh, whoosh...
Qin Feng shot his [Blizzard Shot] wildly while using his speed advantage to lure the mutated wolves away from the goblins.
40 seconds later, all the wolves turned into corpses.
"Ding!"
"Your reputation with the Goblin Risk Company is 250 points. The goblins' attitude towards you has changed from [Cold] to [Neutral]!" After the battle ended, the game prompted.
Very good...
In [God Realm], the reputation levels with different factions were: Hatred, Hostile, Neutral, Agreeable, Friendly, Respectful, Admiring.
"Respected warrior, the dragon was right about you. Your fighting skills are amazing to the goblins." The goblin NPC "Modo" also came forward to congratulate him.
"Ding! The goblin hero NPC [Modo] has +1 favor towards you! Modo's total favor towards you is 100. Modo's attitude towards you is [Agreeable]!" The game prompted again.
He was actually a "hero NPC"...
Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. Some rare NPCs in [God Realm] had their own personal favor system, which was generally divided into: Mortal Enemy, Hostile, Stranger, Agreeable, Friend, Best Friend. As the favor increased, players could get more quests and rewards from the NPCs.
As for "hero NPCs", they were usually more powerful and had a chance to be recruited by players or even do some unspeakable things...
But what the hell was a male goblin NPC having favor towards him?!
"Mr. Modo, it's my honor to serve the goblins." Qin Feng replied politely.
"Good, warrior. Then let's continue our journey. We will surely reach Holy Helm City safely. I have full confidence in you." Modo said happily.
"Then please follow me..."
Qin Feng showed a faint cunning smile at the corner of his mouth.
...
Next, Qin Feng led the goblin NPCs off the main road and started wandering in the misty forest. There were many monsters in the forest. As soon as they walked two steps, they found more than a dozen [Mutated Man-Eating Flowers].
-276!
-255!
-256...
After a round of fighting, they decisively killed the man-eating flowers.
"Ding! You protected the goblins' safety. Modo's favor towards you +1!"
"Ding! You gained 10 points of goblin reputation!"
"Ding!..."
"Ding!..."
Another row of prompts came out. He gained 1 point of Modo's favor and 150 points of goblin reputation.
At this point, Qin Feng finally confirmed that under the state of [Escorting Goblins], he would gain goblin reputation and NPC favor for every monster he killed in the misty forest!
Didn't that mean that he could keep killing monsters in the misty forest until he dropped dead...
He could gain tons of goblin reputation and NPC favor...
You have to know that goblin quests were rare to begin with. A single quest could make all the big guilds fight over it. And the reward was only a few dozen points of reputation. But him, he casually killed a wave of monsters and got hundreds of points of goblin reputation.
This was simply too awesome...
Qin Feng didn't know if this was a bug or not. But based on the current player strength, even if they got this quest, they wouldn't be able to kill monsters casually like him while ensuring the NPC's safety.
After all, they didn't have ten times attack speed...
...
"Respected Mr. Modo, please come this way. There are more monsters here... Oops, I mean this way is safer..."
Qin Feng gave up on the idea of completing the quest quickly. He took Modo and other goblin NPCs wherever there were more monsters. Monsters in his eyes were reputation and favor!
While killing monsters, he opened the official website and checked out some information about the misty forest.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
[Misty Forest]
Level: lv12
Category: Super large exploration dungeon.
Difficulty: Normal
BOSS: None.
Clearance requirement: Kill all wild monsters.
Clearance reward: Gold x100, Holy Helm City reputation x1000, experience x10000.
First kill reward: None.
After reading it, Qin Feng also understood why the misty forest was always deserted and few players were willing to clear it. With the size of the misty forest, a normal five-person team would need at least a few days and nights to clear it. And the reward was almost nothing...
But this seemingly crappy dungeon was a huge treasure for Qin Feng...
Anyway, he was going to kill monsters here until he dropped dead. He might as well kill all the monsters and get the first kill of this dungeon with no reward.
...
In the next day's time.
Qin Feng spent most of his time killing monsters in the misty forest with Modo and other NPCs, except for eating and going to the bathroom.
Even if he could kill monsters without taking any damage, he was still in pain and joy after killing for more than ten hours... Pain, because he was sick of killing monsters. He was probably the most miserable reborn person ever, killing monsters for more than ten hours a day after coming back to life!
Fortunately, the goblins could give him a mana recovery buff. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have enough mana to activate his ten times attack speed.
And joy, because his goblin reputation and NPC Modo's favor were soaring.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations! Your reputation with the goblins has reached 10000. The goblins' attitude towards you has changed from [Neutral] to [Agreeable]!"
"Congratulations! You protected the goblins again. Modo's favor towards you +1. Modo's total favor towards you is 100. Modo's attitude towards you is [Agreeable]!" When the first day ended, Qin Feng also received such a prompt.
He killed for a whole day and barely managed to raise his goblin reputation to [Agreeable]. He remembered that in his previous life, it took at least half a year after the server opened for someone in Jiangnan region to reach [Agreeable] with the goblins. Well, he was also ahead of the server progress by half a year!
"Friend of the goblins, I think there is no other adventurer in this world who is more friendly to the goblins than you." NPC Modo also came to Qin Feng and said sincerely.
He changed his address to Qin Feng from "warrior" to "friend of the goblins".
"Yes, I love goblins very much."
Qin Feng lied shamelessly. Ugh, he had no interest in the short and ugly goblins at all.
"Then, friend, please accept the goblins' blessing." NPC Modo rubbed his hands in the air a few times, and a dazzling light fell on Qin Feng's forehead.
"Ding!"
"You have received NPC Modo's blessing buff: [Goblin Luck]." Along with the game prompt, Qin Feng got a buff of a goblin surrendering on his skill bar.
[Goblin Luck] lv1
Effect: You have received the sincere blessing from the goblins. You gain: Minor Luck. (Stackable)
Description: Few other races can get the blessing from the paranoid goblins.
Damn, he actually got a "Minor Luck", and it was stackable. Qin Feng immediately opened his character panel and saw that in the luck column, his original "Minor Luck" from the guild skill had become "Medium Luck" after stacking with "Goblin Luck".
Luck affected many aspects such as hidden quests, crit rate, monster drops, dodge rate, etc. It was much more important than attributes like strength, agility, intelligence, constitution.
Hmm, it seemed that getting a goblin NPC's favor was indeed useful.
...
Then, a wave of sleepiness came over him. Qin Feng decided to log off and rest.
Before logging off, Qin Feng looked at the map. He had explored about a quarter of the misty forest in one day. It seemed that it would take another three days to completely clear this dungeon.
