In a small garden in the city of heaven, Li Mu is doing the daily task of taking care of the elf little Luoli Xiao Zhengtai.
It was sent to him by Alice.
In the earliest days, this mission was just to help Al bring the sisters.
But with Nightingale's return, her younger siblings joined in.
These young elves will learn with Alice and Philosopher for the first half of each day, and then have two hours of exercise time.
When exercising, the Chosen Ones are responsible for looking after the children.
For players, this is a slack.
Because they can take care of the children, and at the same time, they can also cultivate and cultivate themselves, and they can still brush NPCs by the way... Especially the goodwill of the little guys.
Unfortunately, this task is not for everyone.
Only players who have gained the trust of the Holy Maiden will be assigned this task by her.
And as one of the few players who had reached 80 in Alice's favor, only Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird could receive this quest.
Alice is a purple-framed NPC unique to the entire server, and her task rewards are second only to the goddess.
So... this is almost the experience value and contribution of the white pick.
In fact, it's not just Alice. Among the NPCs who have opened up the favorability display, all Li Mu have dealt with, and his favorability has been brushed very high.
Even the Nightingale who had only seen him a few times had a favorable opinion of him at 40.
As for Alice, Basaka, and the young elves he often brings, many of them have more than 60 favorable impressions.
As long as it is a believer of Eve, the favorability display for the player will be open.
The younger brothers and sisters of El and Nightingale were young, but after the older brothers and sisters accepted their beliefs, they also became followers of Eve, so their goodwill would also be shown.
Of course, they were only shallow believers and could not issue missions.
However, even if it is impossible to send the task, the good impression of Xiaoluoli and Xiaozheng also aroused the interest of the players.
For most creatures, the cuteness of the cub is a few streets away from the adult.
As an elf with an outstanding appearance, his appearance when he was young was even more cute.
Those pure big eyes, pink and tender skin, coupled with delicate and lovely facial features, are like a god-given puppet, and like a little angel who came out of a fairy tale, unconsciously arousing people's desire to protect …
Therefore, the popularity of the little guys among the players almost soared, and soon surpassed Alice and became the existence second only to the goddess Eve.
Many players have come to join in the fun, trying to please the little guys with various tricks, in order to make them smile, and then sweetly call themselves brother and sister.
Hmm... By the way, take a screenshot, record a video, post it on the forum, and upload it to the video online to show off.
Of course, there are also funny guys who want to coax the little guy to say something weird...
However, those players were quickly chased away by Li Mu and Cuckoo Bird, who were taking care of the children.
It is also one of their mission requirements to prevent young elves from being taught strange knowledge by players.
However, unlike the heartless and deceitful bear children of human beings, the little ones are very vigilant.
If you can't be patient and calm down to communicate, it will be difficult to gain their friendship.
What players lack the most is patience...
Unless there is a huge benefit.
But unfortunately, except for some life-related players, the little guy's attraction to them is only limited to the level of the mascot.
After all, not everyone is as beautiful and good-looking as Lady Goddess, and can provide huge rewards.
So... many people give up after the initial interest has passed.
Of course, Li Mu was not included here.
He was the first player to gain the trust of children.
For this reason, other players also nicknamed him "Friends of NPCs".
In fact, there are also many players who envy the relationship between Li Mu and NPCs.
But most people don't have his temperament to really deal with NPCs on an equal footing.
In other words... Although favoritism can bring benefits to players, it is also limited.
When they have this time to develop their goodwill, they prefer to fight monsters and do more tasks.
In addition to some private tasks, in fact, as long as you have a positive relationship with the NPC, it is enough to accept their tasks.
For most players, the time cost required to gain higher NPC favorability is actually not proportional to the gain obtained.
Of course, there are also some introverted players who are really not good at communication and don't know how to deal with NPCs.
Not to mention NPCs, these players have a lot of headaches in interpersonal communication in reality...
In addition, the elves are too upright.
Even if they accepted the gift of the Mother God's "task system", they were serious and serious when releasing tasks, believing that the task system was sacred and could not be based on their own preferences, but relatively fair and just...
In fact, this kind of thing is also very common on Blue Star.
Sometimes the leader is just a sentence, and the people below will make up a lot of brains. In fact, the leader does not care about it, and even says it is unnecessary extra work, and sometimes the results are even completely different...
…
Just when the time Li Mu and Alice agreed to bring the baby was about to expire, suddenly, a heart-piercing howl that was familiar to him came from afar:
"Brother Mu! Did you see it? New equipment is out! Hurrah, dozens of sets, my mother!"
Li Mu turned his head and saw Demacia walking over with a sad face.
He pondered for a while, and notified Cuckoo Bird in the friend bar to help him pick up get off work, then looked at Demacia and asked:
"I see, what's wrong?"
Demacia shook her head and sighed:
"It's over, it's over, I swore on the official website a while ago that no new equipment will be released in the short term, but I was slapped in the face in an instant..."
Li Mu: …
"Who told you to play equipment evaluation with a swollen face and a fat man?"
He shook his head.
"Who knew the equipment would be updated so quickly! Hey... It seems that I'm going to have to live again. I originally planned to save the contribution points to exchange for a defensive gold equipment that resists beatings."
Demacia was heartbroken.
After speaking, he looked at Li Mu suspiciously again:
"By the way, Brother Mu, aren't you in a hurry to exchange new equipment for the liver task? Why do I feel that since you did the main quest of the Orcs, you have less liver."
"How about... Let's go to Rivendell to explore together? A lot of people are running there now."
"Now the Internet is full of Rivendell's exploration videos. Um... By the way, I remember you said a few days ago that you are in a hurry recently, why don't we go explore together, and you can also make a video to earn extra money?"
He said expectantly.
Li Mu shook his head and replied:
"I have enough equipment."
"What's enough! Brother Mu, haven't you looked at the system? The black iron median of Purple Epic has been added! The equipment score has doubled compared to the one under Purple Black!"
Demacia grumbled.
After he finished speaking, he was a little more puzzled:
"Besides, I don't think you're too busy, taking care of Alice's children every day... I heard that you were looking for the new Miss Nightingale yesterday. Are you trying to gain goodwill? But is it necessary to build so much prestige? "
Li Mu: …
He thought about it, scratched his head and said:
"It's not what you think, it's still useful... I think it's just that the official has not fully utilized the role of favorability."
"The theme of "Even Kingdom" is the rise of the elves. It is not only us who represent the elves, but also the NPCs! And this game focuses on the sense of substitution, so I think our relationship with the NPCs is still very important."
"Trust me, the official will sooner or later start on the goodwill. If you brush the goodwill up earlier, you will definitely not lose money later. When there are more players in the future, it may not be easy to brush."
Demacia listened and shook her head:
"Brother Mu, to be honest, I don't think the effect of goodwill is very big, right? My reputation value is still 0, but haven't I successfully accepted the mission?"
"Besides, it's time for you to upgrade. You've been too salty recently. Even I'm level 18, and I've surpassed you by level 2!"
"And... equipment! There is new equipment, we must not update it?"
Demacia excitedly pointed at the system exchange interface and said.
"I already have the equipment."
Li Mu shook his head.
He took out a rough staff and showed his obviously modified robe:
"I picked up the Orc High Priest's equipment before, and I brought back his staff and priest's robe. Now... I modified it and put it on."
Demacia: …
"Let me go, it turns out that the one who picked up the half-orc boss equipment is Brother Mu!"
His eyes widened.
Li Mu nodded and said again:
"The system has identified them, and they are all low-level silver equipment at the white level. Although there are no special effects, the rating is similar to that of gold equipment and black equipment. So I don't plan to exchange them until better equipment appears."
Demacia: …
"Damn, why didn't I think of picking up the boss's equipment at first!"
He was heartbroken and envious.
While the two were talking, a system message suddenly floated past all players' field of vision.
