Overlord of the Demon Realm

Under the sunlight, the small water bottle filled with spring water reflects a dreamy luster, and also reflects an old face full of surprise.

At this moment, the old beggar was stunned,

The nearby players were also stunned.

No one expected that the black-haired youth would take out a small water bottle and hand it over to the "notorious" old beggar. The most important thing is that the small water bottle is exactly the quest item, the small water bottle of blessing!

This young man is Ye Kong!

In other words, it is Ye Kong's game ID, Blank!

"That young man's name is Blank, isn't he the one who rushed to the first place in the race?!"

"Yes! It's him, who threw us away along the way!"

"No wonder, I couldn't find him later - it turned out that he went to pick up the spring water quest!"

At this moment, the nearby players recognized Ye Kong, and at the same time, they also made a judgment:

"That blank, it seems to be a game master! However, I have never heard of this character"

"Maybe, they changed the game ID on purpose, so that we don't want us to recognize it."

"Indeed, some players don't use the name they used during the beta test period, but deliberately took another name, just to make others guess his real identity."

For a moment, the players thought that 'Blank' was the vest of a certain master—because they didn't want to reveal their identity, they abandoned their previous name.

"In your opinion, whose vest does that 'blank' look like?"

"The other party's identity is hard to identify. It is very likely that he is a real closed beta player (third test), who knows more game content than our average beta test players (fourth test). Therefore, he used I got the props for the spring water mission!"

As a result, the nearby players gritted their teeth, secretly annoyed: "Yes! The small water bottle for the spring water mission is also a liquid material, why didn't I think of it earlier?!"

"It turns out that the task of the old beggar is this way!"

"As expected of a real beta player, this hand is so well hidden."

Just as the nearby players were shocked by Ye Kong's actions, suddenly, a roar came——

"You have violated the trust of the Horticultural Cult!"

Not far away, the garden priest Pulitzer looked at Ye Kong angrily, and reprimanded loudly: "The blessed spring water belongs to the bounty bestowed by the garden sect to the believers, not your personal wealth."

"The forest keeper, Peel, suffers from rheumatism. At the same time, he has been guarding the forest all his life, fulfilling the dogma of the god of gardening. He is a loyal and firm believer, and he deserves the help of the gardening sect!"

"However, you ruined all of this—you even handed over the blessed spring water to an old beggar without authorization!"

Pulitzer pointed at Ye Kong and made a solemn oath:

"Your behavior will surely arouse the disgust of the God of Gardening!"

As soon as the voice fell, Ye Kong received a reminder——

System prompt: Your behavior has aroused the disgust of the Gardening Church, and the reputation value has dropped by 10 points.

System prompt: Your Horticultural Church·reputation level has dropped to "Normal".

Suddenly, Ye Kong's eyes froze:

"Sure enough, my reputation has been cut."

The prestige value of a faction determines the NPCs under the faction, their attitude towards the player, and what level of tasks the player can obtain from them.

According to the settings of the Demon Realm, if the prestige of a certain faction drops to "disgust", the NPCs under that faction refuse to communicate with the player. If the prestige drops to "hatred", the NPCs under that faction will attack the player.

To sum up, reputation value is an element that cannot be ignored for players.

Pulitzer's words caused a commotion among the players:

"That blank, it seems that the prestige value has been cut?"

"That's right, the priest's words showed the Horticultural Sect's attitude—it's unforgivable! Do you understand that this happened?"

"Well, his reputation in the gardening sect must have been cut."

During this period of time, the players who came to the residential area were basically a group of elite players (beta test players). When they heard Pulitzer's words, they immediately guessed the truth.

The big cat not far away even raised his eyebrows, thinking of the most critical point——

"That blank, I am willing to pay the price of reputation points. It seems that the old beggar's reward must be very 'rich'!"

Thinking of this, the big cat immediately stared at the 'blank', wanting to see what the other party's reward was.

Walking Meow Meow looked at the 'blank space', with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his eyes - using the 'spring water mission' to meet the needs of the old beggar, the person who thought of this method is simply a genius!

The nearby players stopped without exception, and their eyes were all focused on Ye Kong.

At this moment, Ye Kong became the focus of the audience.

"I think it's the right use to give the spring water to someone in need, whether that person is a forest ranger or a poor old gentleman."

Ye Kong ignored Pulitzer's murderous eyes, turned his head to the old beggar, smiled and said, "Do you think I'm right? An old man who needs help?"

"You're so right."

The old beggar narrowed his eyes, revealing an imperceptible light. The next moment, under the gaze of everyone, the old beggar took out a copper coin from his pocket.

Slap!

The old beggar threw a copper coin and it landed at Ye Kong's feet, as if mocking his actions.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha!!!"

The nearby players immediately burst into laughter, and some players covered their stomachs with laughter——

"Hahahaha, I thought there was some reward, but the result is still the same?!"

"1 copper coin, what the fuck, hahahahaha!"

"Scared the baby to death, I really thought I met a master, so it turned out to be the same guy! Hahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha! He wants to kill me laughing so he can inherit my money? Hahahahahahaha!"

At this moment, the dark side of human nature was fully exposed. The players who were stunned by Ye Kong in the last second were full of ridicule in the next second, wishing to demote each other into paramecium.

"Hey, a guy who 'steals chickens and loses rice'."

Faced with this scene, the big cat shook his head: "Meow, let's go, don't waste any more time."

Obviously, in the eyes of the big cat, Ye Kong has become a loser, not worthy of his attention.

"oh"

Manbu Meow agreed, but couldn't help but glance back at Ye Kong. For some reason, she always felt that this black-haired young man seemed to be hiding something.

at the same time,

Ye Kong ignored the players' ridicule, he squatted down, picked up the copper coin seriously, and kept it in his hand - this is the game feature of "Magic Realm".

Different from ordinary online games, the game currency in the virtual world · "Magic Realm" can not only be placed in the inventory, but also can be taken out and placed directly in the player's hand.

Gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, no matter what currency they are, can be withdrawn directly, which greatly increases the authenticity of the game. In other words, there is almost no difference between "Magic Land" and the real world.

Of course, due to the protection mechanism of the game, other players cannot snatch the 'currency'. However, under the condition of both parties' permission, the currency can be 'visually traded' directly, or use the trading option in the system bar to conduct a 'virtual trade' between the two parties.

Strangely, Ye Kong picked up the copper coin, but did not put it into the inventory. Instead, he ignored the laughter around him, and nodded to the old beggar: "Thank you, old man."

After speaking, Ye Kong turned his head without hesitation and left the residential area quickly.

This scene, in the eyes of the nearby players, turned into another look——

"Let's go, that 'master' seems to be disheartened, hahahaha!"

"Hahahaha, this expert doesn't even want to do the 'message delivery mission' anymore, it seems that he has been stimulated so much!"

"That's right, he lost his precious reputation, but he got a copper coin in exchange for it. He lost his pants! Hahahahaha!"

"There's no show to watch, let's slip away, I have to go to the 'message delivery mission' quickly."

All of a sudden, this group of players who had gone through the beta test rushed to Haskin's alley and disappeared into the alley.

at the same time

Ye Kong walked out of the residential area, and immediately got into a secluded path. When he confirmed that there was no one around, he finally spread his palm and held the copper coin in front of his eyes——

"hashe`loudm"

Soon, Ye Kong found a line of writing on the inner edge of the copper coin, and at the same time, the system's prompt sounded——

System prompt: You found a line of writing on the mysterious copper coin, which is the common language of mankind today. The specific meaning of the writing is Violet Chamber of Commerce.

System prompt: Congratulations on triggering the 'hidden traitor' plot event, the plot difficulty is elite level.

Hidden traitor: Players please arrive at the Violet Chamber of Commerce within 15 minutes, otherwise, the mission will be considered a failure.

Ye Kong saw this situation, and a smile formed on the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, the condition to trigger the plot is not the quest item, the fountain of blessing, the real condition is."

"The lowest comprehensive reputation among the players in the entire Qingmu City!"
