eternal glory

It's hard for you to imagine the first time everyone saw Fran coming out of the dungeon door. Fran was wearing a gray cloth robe, holding the hem of the archer grandmother's clothes with one hand, and holding a short round-headed wooden staff in her arms , looking around timidly, her emerald green eyes and long golden eyelashes make the small face as white as fine porcelain more vivid, her small lips are gently pursed, well-behaved and docile, like a pure deer.

The little girl in a gray cloth robe wore a shabby cloth cap on her head, which couldn't cover her golden wavy hair flowing down to her shoulders like a small waterfall.

Pudding cat was heartbroken when he saw it: "I feel like my motherhood is surging, and the flood levees can't hold on anymore!"

Liu Zhe and Pudding Cat have different observation angles. He told Mu Ning, "I think of the little princess who was trafficked into a ravine to be a child bride."

The little loli who used to wear a tulle skirt is now put on gray coarse cloth clothes by the old man and old lady, but still can't cover her natural beauty, but no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel distressed.

"Wow! Stars!" The child was not troubled, she didn't think there was anything wrong with wearing a gray cloth robe, on the contrary, she was immediately fascinated by this strange place, looked up at the galaxy spinning in the square, Little Lolita was full of surprises, and trotted to the square with the corner of her gown, just like she was still wearing that snow-white tulle dress and red leather shoes.

The Butterfly Wing girl looks to be in her twenties, gentle and elegant, she is obviously very kind after seeing the bell flower tree with falling petals in the middle of the square: "You can also plant the bell flower tree here?"

"Yes, but the flower seeds are taken from the Aurora Garden." Mu Ning explained to her.

"I heard that you want me to settle down here." The bright red wings on the back of Butterfly girl slightly opened and closed, and the red light dust was floating. She was very beautiful. She said with a smile, "I am very happy to be a part of you."

As expected of a BOSS level, even a gray-rank NPC is knowledgeable, far smarter than ordinary gray-rank NPCs.

"Rose!" The little girl who was looking up at the galaxy in the square ran to the round platform where the blacksmith shop was located, because she saw a large cluster of blue roses in the flower wall surrounding the blacksmith shop, blooming very brightly.

The little girl was not afraid that the roses were full of thorns, so she stretched out her hand to pick them lightly, and she picked a blue rose with a small stem. The log with tender green leaf patterns is used as a mirror, and I look left and right with my teeth bared, smiling innocently.

What a lovely child!A group of old men and old ladies feel distressed.

"You come from Aurora Garden, you should like flowers. There is a secret garden in our town, which is still growing. If you have time, you can go and have a look. You should see many familiar flowers."

The butterfly wing girl is very interested in the sky garden that Mu Ning said, and the grandparents are also very curious.

After the Butterfly Wing Girl and Little Lolita were disbanded, Mu Ning settled down for them, and marked the location of the sky garden on the three-dimensional map of the log, and the Butterfly Wing Girl flapped her big red wings and flew straight up.

Grandpas and grandmas are very envious, such beautiful big wings can fly, how convenient!

It happened that the other two teams of grandfathers and grandmothers came out of the dungeon. They also wanted to see the secret garden that Mu Ning mentioned, so they also marked it out and happily went up to visit.

The mist in the "Sky Garden" area has long since dissipated, and among the fragmented beams of light revealed in the canopy, there are forty or fifty platforms with luxuriant grass. The landscape is slightly completed, and the colorful looks are very eye-catching.

Butterfly Wing is the happiest girl. She likes the spacious and layered structure of the big banyan tree very much. The tree top garden is her ideal place to live. Little Loli also likes these gardens, but she still wants to live in a hotel first, because the tree top is too high. She has no wings and cannot fly.

Gray-grade NPCs are not too picky about the living environment. After they settle down, they will naturally adapt to life here. As long as the environment does not deteriorate too much, they will rarely leave voluntarily.

When Nian Huer went out, he took a little black wolf cub that was not as high as his knees. When he came back, he rode on the back of a strong black wolf the size of a calf. When he entered the town and saw no one, he jumped off and walked to the hotel , he is hungry and needs lunch.

The third-level little black wolf has grown into an adult black wolf, and its size has increased dramatically, which is more than enough to carry an adult, let alone a ten-year-old child.

Nian Huer brought a male wolf the size of a calf into the hotel, causing the grandpas and grandmas who were eating and chatting to burst into laughter. Everyone chatted happily, forgetting that this is a game, and suddenly a big wolf broke in. , not to scare people.

The lobby of the hotel was too small, and it was already very lively with more than 20 people in it, but it was too crowded for a black wolf the size of a calf to come in.

"You wait for me outside, I'll buy chicken for you to eat, it's roasted and crunchy, it's delicious!"

Hearing what Nian Hu'er said, Hei Lang obediently backed out of the door, unable to turn around because the aisle was too narrow.

Mu Ning and Liu Zhe didn't interfere with Nian Hu'er at all in the game, and adopted a free-range policy. When Nian Hu'er became more sensible and less difficult to get along with, it would not be too late to educate him slowly.

Nian Hu'er tiptoed to ask Aunt Jin for food, two roast chickens, and beer.Aunt Jin said that children cannot drink beer and gave him a large glass of juice. Nian Huer wrinkled his nose and was always unhappy. When he turned around, he saw someone looking at him.

It was a little foreign girl who looked younger than him, dressed in rags, looking over curiously.

"What are you looking at!" Nian Hu'er and Niu yelled at the people before holding the wooden plate containing the roast chicken. When he found that he had no juice in his hand, he put down the plate, and held the plate after holding the juice with the creaking nest Wobbled around.

"What's your name?" The little girl jumped off the chair and grinned at him: "My name is Fran."

"My name is... why did I tell you!" Nian Hu'er's hands were sore from carrying the plate, and he yelled at him angrily.

Little Loli stretched out her hand: "I'll help you."

"...Oh, but let's say it first, I won't eat it for you." Nian Hu'er was afraid that people would eat his roast chicken.

"Yeah." Flan took the plate and carefully took it out, asking Nian Hu'er, "Is that big wolf yours?"

"That's the dog, mine."

"But its name is Black Wolf." Little Loli called out the diary and flew in the air, showing it to Nian Hu'er.

Nian Hu'er was illiterate, and he could not bear the vicious look on his face: "I said a dog is a dog!" He put the wooden plate in his hand in front of Hei Lang who was waiting for him at the door, sat on the next step himself, and then took the Passing the wooden tray in Fran's hand, she pulled the chicken leg and was about to eat it, but she stopped, and after a long struggle, she asked vaguely, "Do you... want to eat?" The voice was as reluctant as it could be.

"Thank you, I won't eat it, I just ate apple pie." Fran smiled at him again, and Nian Hu'er looked very embarrassed.

Children always feel kind when they see friends of the same age, so Fran will naturally be much more cheerful when she sees boys of her age, not only her, but also Nian Hu'er.

Usually if someone strikes up a conversation with him, he will definitely swear at him, but for someone who looks about his age, for some reason, he can't swear.

"You... My name is Nian Hu'er, what's your name?" Nian Hu'er asked the little girl sitting next to him inarticulately while gnawing on the chicken leg. The little girl was not impatient at all: "My name is Fran."

"Did you come with your... brother and sister?"

Fran shook her head: "I came here alone, I have a father, but I have never seen him..." After a moment of silence, she said: "I will never see him again."

"Are you alone now?" Nian Hu'er raised his head.

"Ah."

"...I've always been alone," Nian Hu'er touched his head with his paws still stained with oil: "It's good to be alone, no one can control you, you can scold whoever you want, really!"

Nian Hu'er vowed to prove her words, Fulan covered her mouth and laughed.

"Then you will be here in the future?" Nian Hu'er asked.

"Well, I just settled here today."

"I've been here for a few days, and I'm familiar with the surroundings..." Nian Hu'er thought for a while and said, "Don't be afraid, I can take you out to play, what level are you?"

"Level five."

Nian Hu'er just wanted to say that I'm already level three, I'll take you, but when he heard that he was level five, he was immediately discouraged.

After a while, Nian Hu'er said: "They can fight in the training ground after the fifth level, and I will also go after the fifth level. Have you ever fought with others?"

"No."

"You wait for me to level five, and I'll take you out to fight." Nian Hu'er patted his chest and promised.He hadn't finished eating the chicken legs in his hand, and he found Hei Lang squatting beside him, staring at the roast chicken on his wooden tray, and licking his mouth with his tongue.Looking back, the wooden plate was gone, probably chewed and eaten.

"Here you are, be more active in fighting monsters in the afternoon, the plate is inedible, and I have to return it to others."

Hei Lang chewed and swallowed the grilled chicken in one gulp, then stared at the plate, and under Nian Hu'er's strict eyes, he licked the wooden plate unwillingly for several times before giving up.

Mu Ning and Liu Zhe were also curious as the two children sat outside the hotel chatting.

Miss Butterfly is quite used to it. After she ordered food in the hotel, she quietly listened to other people chatting. When someone asked her something, she would answer a few words with a smile. She didn't say much, but she was very polite.

The two newcomers are natural mages, and the little girl is still a white rank, so there is no problem with her combat power, but she can't arrange jobs for them immediately.

Now Jurong Town is very short of NPCs above the white rank. In the whole town, there is only one blue rank of Uncle Baron, and half of the green ranks are absent. Among the more than 20 white rank NPCs, professional instructors alone account for it. Most of them, the rest are shopkeepers, and there is simply no manpower to spare.

Now there is an extra Goblin mage who can't catch anyone, and Liz who is more and more difficult to catch with a bow on her back.

In Mu Ning's plan, the abduction and trafficking of people to settle down is a random thing to do in the dungeon. Now the speed is slow, but when more and more people are slowly gathered in the town, it will grow like a snowball.

Similarly, if there is a chance in the future, as long as one or two extremely rare NPCs of the green rank can be brought back, the strength level of the entire Jurong Town will be greatly improved in an instant.

Functional NPCs are also called management NPCs. They seldom participate in battles. They are of very high rank and order, and they are mainly engaged in mental work.

City lords, town mayors, village chiefs, and former Qunshu town registrars are all functional NPCs.

The rank of the functional NPC increases with the level of the area where it is located. The highest rank of the NPC in the settlement is green at the village level, blue at the town level, golden at the city level, and orange at the city level.

For example, in a village, at most there will only be one village chief of green rank, and then other NPC ranks of white and gray.

The mayor of the town is a blue grade, and his subordinates can manage green and white grade NPCs. If the town is upgraded to a city level, all functional NPCs will collectively rise to a level, and the blue will turn into gold, and the green will turn into blue. Everyone is happy.

Most of the NPCs in ordinary shops and workshops are lifestyle NPCs, mainly engaged in life occupations and business activities, and rarely participate in battles. Their ranks are based on the experience points gained from the rise of their life skill proficiency and business level. growing.

The owners of blacksmith shops and jewelry stores, and Aunt Jin in the hotel are all lifestyle NPCs.

Followed by fighting NPCs, the rank is the most difficult to increase. You have to go through the baptism of blood and flames in constant battles, slowly gain experience, and participate in the rank-up trial to defeat the ego that is higher than your own rank.

Combat NPCs have the strongest combat power and the best overall intelligence, but compared to the other two types of NPCs, it is more difficult for them to upgrade their rank.

The player's attendants, crusade members, patrols, soldiers, wild monsters on the map, and most of the NPCs in the instance are combat NPCs.

This is also the reason why most of the management personnel in the city are of high rank, but the members of the guard army in the city rarely see high rank.

Finally, there is almost no difference between free NPPCs and players. They are free to come and go. Like players, they belong to a special type of fighting NPC. Generally, their wisdom grows slightly faster than player attendants, and the pass rate of upgrading tasks is also higher.

In the game, only players can have attendants. Attendants and free NPCs will not have attendant slots but can have pet slots. NPCs of a small number of occupations can sign contracts with other human NPCs, but the essence of this type of relationship is pets rather than attendants.

What Mu Ning wants to do most now is to give a large number of free NPCs with high intelligence and high potential in the town, so that in the future, when the developing NPCs upgrade their levels, if they are lucky enough to break through the ranks, a green rank fighting NPC will be far more useful It is higher than a functional NPC of the same rank, and the defense in the town has also been greatly strengthened.

If some people come to make trouble without opening their eyes, it is guaranteed that they will never return.

At this stage, Jurong Town already has some funds to support the human trafficking plan, but this is not enough. At least in Mu Ning's view, the town's reserve funds must be doubled at least to reach the minimum limit he expected.There are a lot of facilities to be built in the town, and the cost of purely purchasing materials will be huge, so the progress of mining and making jewelry still cannot be stopped.

The Tarantula Mine is now Mu Ning's private land. He, Liu Zhe and two attendants chopped melons and vegetables all the way to the deepest point, and even the sixth-level spiders couldn't stop their footsteps.

The boss came out, and a big purple tarantula with a body of one meter was lying on the top of the cave, which had no resemblance to Liz at all.

Anyway, the location of mining is far away from it, so it won't be alarmed at all, and Mu Ning doesn't bother to care.

The old lady was busy with Luhua, Mu Ning and Liu Zhe were also busy, Mu Ning was rubbing runes, Liu Zhe was still making leather armor, his flash rate has reached a critical point in the past few days, but he can't do double flashing green Quality leather armor, very disappointed.

"Don't be discouraged, Luhua has forged overnight, and up to now you haven't made a piece of green-quality metal armor, which means that your fire is not yet ready."

"It hasn't arrived yet!" Liu Zhe wanted to cry. The white quality leather products he is making now are almost sold out on the forum. One can imagine how big the sales volume is, but it is at least a thousand pieces. There is no double flash, is it too unacceptable?

"Your single flash rate is one in [-], double flash rate is [-] in [-], and you haven't made [-] pieces yet." Before Liu Zhe could cry, Mu Ning added: "Besides It's not that the [-]th piece will definitely flash, you still have some to suffer."

In fact, Liu Zhe has long been able to save money just by selling white quality leather armor. White quality leather armor is rare and the price is not low, but the price of leather itself has never been expensive. Not only is he not losing money, but he is also making a slight profit. .

Of course, once a green leather armor with double flashes is made, it is not a slight surplus, but the category of "opening for three years".

In the evening, Mu Ning and Liu Zhe went back to the hotel, and from a distance, they could see a black wolf with a calf dozing on some random animal skins next to the hotel.Walking into the hotel, the not-so-large lobby was extremely lively. Goblin mages Lamor and Liss both came back, and they were sitting and chatting with the little loli who just arrived today, which surprised Liu Zhe What's more, Nian Hu'er was also sitting together, holding a juice glass, while asking Lamor how he went out to kill players, listening with gusto.

The white-named NPC has a high IQ, so it's normal for the three of them to chat together, but Liu Zhe doesn't understand how Nian Hu'er got in.

"Did I say that?" Mu Ning chuckled, "His wild dog personality makes him easy to get along with NPCs."

On the other side, the girl with butterfly wings has changed into a long robe bought in a tailor shop. She has made an appointment with the proprietress of the tailor shop to help out in the tailor shop recently. She paid some salary in advance. She is obviously in a good mood. She is smiling and drinking a drink while listening to the pudding cat and the cat next to her. Aishwarya shares her tips on choosing a house address.Most of the movements of the butterfly wing man are very elegant, and the big red wings on the back do not make everyone feel too crowded. Occasionally, when the closed wings are gently stirred naturally, a little bit of light dust floats out.

Luhua has no friends in the town now, so she ordered beer and food and sat quietly next to Mu Ning. Liu Zhe pouted, thinking that this is the two-person world of me and Ning Ning, so don't come and join in the fun.

After ordering, the old lady Hongyun went to sit at a table with Lamor and the others. Liz was familiar with her and greeted her happily. After the three chatted for a while, Hongyun and Fran got to know each other, and even met Nianhu. Son.The old lady spent a lot of money, and her net worth was extremely rich, so she gave Nianhuer and Fran each a green gemstone hair ornament. Fran liked it so much that she ran to Liz on the spot and asked Liz to help her wear it. .Nian Hu'er didn't know how to wear it himself and was too embarrassed to ask others. Liz smiled and patted his head, and put it on for him too.

Nian Hu'er accidentally saw the six strange legs under Lisi's long skirt. At that time, he was almost scared to pee. He didn't dare to say anything, thinking that Lisi was a monster.But now this pretty sister doesn't seem so scary either.

"Does this pink crystal hair accessory look good on me?" Little Lolita blinked her big eyes and asked Nian Hu'er cheerfully.

"pretty."

"You look good with malachite hair accessories," Little Lolita said, "Take a bath in the room at night and wash your clothes, it will definitely look better!"

"...Oh." Nian Hu'er blushed and nodded.
