When Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat saw the latest stage two mission, they both sucked in a deep breath.
Preparing lunch was worth… 10,000 EXP?!
And a random “Refined” level item or equipment?
If this screenshot was released, wouldn’t the other closed beta testers, who were busy running around and doing a lot of work for the villagers, be envious to the point of going crazy?
Why was there such a huge difference between NPCs!
“Miss Vivian, tell us what you want to eat for lunch. No matter how difficult it is, we’ll do our best to get it for you!” The two players ran over to the girl.
“Ah, no… you don’t have to. I’ll just eat some of the flatbread I’m carrying…”
Vivian hurriedly waved her hands in refusal. As if to prove that she did have something to eat, the little girl fumbled around in her bosom before pulling out a rag bag.
When she opened it, there was only a burnt flatbread of unknown ingredient the size of a quarter of a palm.
Out of curiosity, Liao Zixuan leaned over and sniffed the flatbread. After getting a whiff, he comically feigned collapse as he dropped to the ground, legs sticking in the air.
It smelt f*cking moldy!
No wonder the little girl was as skinny as a pole. She did not have any meat on her body at all. She only ate terrible things like that. It would be strange if she could put on any weight at all!
Throw it away!
The wolf pup pounced forward and snatched the black flatbread from the girl’s hands. Before Vivian could react, it immediately ran far away with the black flatbread in its mouth.
“Black! Black, stop fooling around!” Vivian immediately became anxious after regaining her senses. The flatbread was her rations for the next few days
Good lord, she only had this measly thing as the next few days’ rations!
The young girl naturally couldn’t stop Liao Zixuan. When the little wolf cub came back, that stupid flatbread was nowhere to be seen. It had long been thrown away.
“You…!” Vivian was on the verge of angry tears. She had grown up in an impoverished family. Even though it was just a small piece of flatbread, it was still quite precious and difficult to obtain for the young girl.
The people the little girl hated most were those who wasted food. Every bit of food wasted could save many people who were starving to death.
Vivian raised her hand several times, wanting to beat up the wolf pup who was looking at her with an innocent expression. But in the end, the girl’s raised hand did not swing down. Instead, it became a caress.
It couldn’t be helped. Her heart was too soft and she couldn’t bring himself to do it, especially when Liao Zixuan expressed his thoughts through telepathy.
Just one word.
“Meat!”
Yes, she could shortchange herself and eat flatbread, but Black was obviously a wolf and a monster. How could he follow a vegetarian diet like her?
She had thought about herself but had completely forgotten to think about what Black wanted to eat at all. How could she claim that Black was her family?
At the thought of this, Vivian became angry again. This time, she was not angry at Black, but at herself.
Some moments were especially interesting.
The young lady could not bring herself to ask others for help for herself, but she could immediately lower herself to ask for help for someone she cared about.
“I’m sorry. I forgot about Black just now. So… I’ll have to trouble you guys to help hunt around here. The thing is… Black probably has a very big appetite, so let’s split up the work…”
“Alright! Leave everything to us. You’ve worked so hard for so long, so you should rest here, Miss Vivian!”
After the two players received the instruction, they left in a hurry to find ingredients, leaving behind the helpless girl.
Vivian originally wanted everyone to work together, but the beta testers didn’t even give her a chance.
However, the girl did not expect that this was only the beginning. She would only be “tortured” later on.
Ten minutes later…
“What are you doing? Sit down! Miss Vivian, don’t move! Leave the firewood to us!”
“Stop, stop! How can a lady like you do such dirty chores like washing vegetables?”
“Stop!!! Miss Vivian, are you looking down on my cooking? Quickly put down the meat and let me roast it. You can just sit there and wait to eat!”
After walking around, the young girl, who had nothing to do, aimlessly hugged Black and leaned against the shade of the big tree. She looked at the two foreigners who were busy preparing lunch.
This was the first time Vivian did nothing and waited for someone to serve her.
While the young lady was feeling uneasy and guilty, the two closed beta testers were getting increasingly worried.
The Mage God of Close Combat and the Big Watermelon both noticed Liao Zixuan’s added special conditions for unlocking the next stage of the mission chain.
Which was…
Vivian’s affection.
This was also the reason why these two players were so eager to serve the little girl.
They…
They wanted to gain Vivian’s affection!
However, what troubled the two of them was that despite doing so much, Vivian’s affection only rose by 5 points!
Yes, why did it only increase by 5 points?
Wasn’t it obvious!
Because Liao Zixuan was the one controlling the “affection” system!
The 5 affection points that they had gained were to test the system out.
“Vivian, what do you think of these two?”
“Very… very good. It’s just that they’re a little too enthusiastic sometimes.” The little girl secretly stuck out her tongue at the little wolf.
Then, Liao Zixuan increased Vivian’s affection for the two players by 5 points.
“What about now, Vivian? Do you suddenly feel like you like them? Do you suddenly find them more pleasing to the eye?”
“What are you talking about! Don’t talk nonsense, Black! You’re getting more and more indecent!” Vivian slapped the little wolf pup’s butt in exasperation.
Huff…
He was relieved.
He could finally be at ease with his plan to benefit without risking anything of his own!
“Miss Vivian, what… what else do you want to eat? Do you want me to catch a snake and make snake soup?”
“Ah, there’s no need, this meat is enough!”
“Then… Miss Vivian, are you thirsty? I’ll get you some spring water!”
“No need, no need! I haven’t finished the water in my water bag.”
“Why don’t I massage your legs and shoulders, Miss Vivian? I’m not bragging, but my massage skills are superb!”
Vivian was speechless.
“You really don’t have to care about me. I… I’m fine. I don’t need anything!”
The girl looked sincere, but the two players did not believe her at all.
Because according to their mission display, Vivian’s affection had stopped at [-5 (Cold)], and they were still 15 points away from reaching [10 (Normal)].
What did this mean? It meant that they hadn’t satisfied Vivian yet.
Then… just what was missing?!
While Big Watermelon and the Mage God of Close Combat were scratching their heads, a dialog box suddenly appeared in front of them.
[Witch Vivian has activated the “Store” system]
Eh?
NPC store?!
What was she playing at now?
The two players looked at the young girl who was tearing the roasted meat with her small hands and feeding it to the wolf in her arms as if she did not know anything about this and was not minding them. They were confused.
After they clicked on it, they realized that there were only two items in the Witch’s shop.
(1)
[Sacrifice your power to the great Witch Vivian!]
[Price: 500 EXP]
[Goods Notice: You will receive 1 point of affection from Vivian]
(2)
[Offer sacrifices to the great Witch Vivian!]
[Price: Any item/equipment]
[Product Note: Following the rarity of the sacrifice, you will obtain Vivian’s affection]
Big Watermelon, “…”
Mage God of Close Combat: “…”
Recalling Vivian’s innocent expression when she said “she doesn’t need anything”, the two closed beta testers once again understood what it meant by…
Merciless…
Witch!
