The words on the quest panel were grayed out, but the [27 Fifth Street Grocery Store] landmark was still flashing slightly.
This is the meaning of "although the mission failed, but it may still have the meaning of triggering a new plot", which is also one of the few humanized settings for players in Miracles.
Li Xin originally went straight to the government affairs hall and walked towards the Fifth Street in the south of the city.
The path paved with gray-brown stone bricks is flanked by higher walls on both sides. The light is darker, and there will be a "click" sound when you step on it.
Following the coordinates, Li Xin stopped in front of the old red brick wall in the alley.
That's it. It's just that the original store has now become a neat red wall.
Not knowing the specific development of the mission, Li Xin raised her head and looked at it.
The alley is remote, and no one will pass by for a long time. Li Xin shook her legs and waited for a while, and finally she heard the sound of footsteps coming from far to near.
A emaciated woman, wrapped in a dark red turban and a long skirt of gray-green goose down shawl, strode from the other end of the alley.
She stopped at the base of the wall at Li Xin's feet and stood there quietly.
"Hey, hello." Li Xin said, jumping off the wall gently.
The woman raised her head upon hearing the sound, revealing a pair of deep green eyes, the green covered with gray, Shen Ruogujing.
Ignoring Li Xin's words, there was a disturbed displeasure in her expression, and she turned around and was about to leave.
"You also knew the owner here?" Li Xin asked, standing behind her.
The woman's footsteps paused, and she turned her head to look at her with green eyes: "Do you know her?"
Her voice was hoarse, reminiscent of rolling rough sand.
"Aunt Lenny?" Li Xin said.
The woman did not answer, but still looked at her.
"I—many years ago, when I was still in this city, I received a commission from her." Li Xin squinted slightly, as if recalling, "But it was not completed at the time, and I have been remembering this for years. Come back here now and have a look."
The woman's eyes rolled around on Li Xin's face, which looked a little too young compared to what she said.
"Looking for her granddaughter." Li Xin's eyes swept across the strands of red hair exposed under the woman's turban, "It seems to be at... the third intersection of Chengxi Street."
The woman did not start, and was silent for a long time. When he looked at Li Xin again, there was a little warmth in his eyes.
"I'm the person you're looking for." After a while, she said.
"NPC [Mrs. Rona] favorability +10"
"The player and the NPC [Mrs. Rona] have reached the first level of friendship, unlock the character trait 1 of the NPC, and you can open the NPC character panel to view it."
"That's really..." Li Xin heard the words with an expression full of emotion, and looked at the NPC woman calmly.
Tall and thin, her gloomy expression revealed a sense of pampering and reservedness that she may not have realized, and the clothes on her body were obviously worth a lot of money.
Li Xin silently checked her panel.
[Mrs. Rhona]
Health: unknown
Strength: 3 stars
Skill: Identify
Trait: Aloof
Favorability: 10
Skill identification
Li Xin's eyes lit up invisibly.
Among the NPCs, in addition to the skills that most players can see, there are also some professional NPCs with some rare special functions. Such as blessing, confusion, and the identification of the woman before him.
Identification, as the name suggests, is the identification and identification of items, which can decipher the task or source-related information contained in an item.
NPCs with this skill can be said to be very precious to players, and many players can't ask for coins.
Obtaining in this way is equivalent to taking a shortcut to obtain a task prompt, and in many cases the key to the task is easily solved.
Suddenly, the lady, Mrs. Rona said, "I'm very happy to see you, let's count as you have completed this task. The reward is paid by me. What did she promise you back then?"
Li Xin made a stunned expression, and then waved her hands again and again: "How can this be counted, it happened many years ago. It can't be like this. Madam, to tell you the truth, I tried my best and couldn't find you. I have always felt guilty.”
Mrs. Rona's expression became milder again, her slender cheeks showed a slight smile, but her tone was unquestionable: "You don't have to say no, she promised you back then - needless to say, I also know, Ruby, right? "
She sighed, "That's right, at that time my family was the only one, and it was more expensive."
"No need, ma'am, I'm also very happy to see you today." Li Xin refused again, and even turned to leave, "It's not done, it's not done, Madam's kindness is appreciated by me, goodbye."
"NPC [Mrs. Rona] favorability +10"
"Wait!" Mrs. Rona raised her voice and stopped her, with a smile on her red lips: "Stubborn person."
"Well, I'm an appraiser. Don't you adventurers always have some weird things, leave them to me." She walked towards Li Xin and handed her a dark green business card, "You can always do Come to me and be a friend."
"My honor." Li Xin looked at her deep green eyes for a moment, then bowed slightly and took it with both hands.
Mrs. Rona smiled and said, "Then I'll be waiting for you at any time."
When her figure wrapped in the green velvet skirt was swaying and was about to walk away, Li Xin asked her, her voice was concerned and a little apprehensive: "Aunt Lenny, she... is she okay?"
"… "
"NPC [Mrs. Rona] favorability +10."
"The player and the NPC [Mrs. Rona] have reached the second level of friendship, unlock the character trait 2 of the NPC, and you can open the NPC character panel to view it."
"She's gone." Mrs. Rona's voice was barely audible, and she walked away with a sigh.
Li Xin watched her back go away, threw the "business card" in her hand up and down, and walked towards the Hanyuan Government Office with satisfaction.
Dark green business cards are simple and clean:
[Mrs. Rhona]
27 Xinjie Road
…
The young blond female NPC at the service window smiled sweetly and handed the ID card back to Li Xin behind the glass: "Your ID information has been updated, please register on the left."
Li Xin took it over, and the NPC added: "After the registration is completed, our staff will verify and review it, and you can go to the main city of Moros."
Li Xin raised her eyes and glanced at her, and heard the blonde female NPC's voice lowered a little, and pointed to the five small circles under her window nameplate: "Excuse me, five-star praise."
Li Xin: "..."
The male NPC who was in charge of registration burst out laughing and accused her: "Lola, what you are doing is wrong. The Lord of the City said that you need to evaluate voluntarily."
"Hmph." The blonde female NPC glared at him and said angrily, "You can't control it!"
But she didn't continue to let Li Xin give her "praise".
Li Xin smiled and stretched out her hand to show her the five circles, and then she took the information and registered with the male NPC amid the surprised cheers of the blonde female NPC Lola.
"Hey, my name is Zorro." The NPC said to her with a smile, "Miansheng, I have a good memory, I'm sure I've never seen you before, are you an outsider adventurer?"
Li Xin is usually very patient with these NPCs: "No, I live in a nearby town, but I haven't been back for a long time."
"Oh, you are—because of that disaster, right? God, to be honest girl, you look so much younger than your age!" The male NPC named Zorro was obviously a talkative character, chattering all the time. Chat with Li Xin.
Li Xin hummed a few times.
"Then you must have never seen our new city lord!" Zorro said excitedly suddenly, "Then you are really sorry, I'm serious man, our city lord is really a very, very powerful character."
"The Lord of the City is admired by all of us, and he is a role model for all of our men - and the favorite object of all the girls in the city, haha." Zoro highly respected the City Lord in his mouth, and strongly suggested Li Xin to see him: " Our city lord often goes to the city to inspect, there are many opportunities to see it, believe me, you will never regret it!"
Li Xin turned a deaf ear to Zorro's eloquence, and handed back a few filled documents to him.
However, at this moment, "Oh, oh, oh—" The government affairs hall, which was supposed to be orderly, suddenly became chaotic.
The NPCs chatted with each other in a low voice, their voices excited: "The Lord of the City is coming this way!"
"real?"
"Everyone saw it!"
"It's great, I can meet the handsome city owner again." This is a female NPC.
The players mixed in the crowd have question marks one by one, wondering what these NPCs are excited about.
"You're so lucky, the city lord happened to be visiting us today—look, he's here!" Zoro pushed Li Xin excitedly.
A bigger commotion came in from the outside. After Li Xin submitted the registration, she said goodbye to Zorro in a lack of interest. The door was blocked by a crowd. She squeezed into the corner at the edge of the hall and walked outside.
"Hey..." Zuo looked at her back unwillingly.
"Thank you very much for your enthusiasm, but now it's working time, please don't disturb the order, otherwise my inspection will be meaningless." Suddenly, an elegant male voice sounded at the door in front, gentle and polite.
"Good Lord City Lord!"
"Good day, Lord City Lord."
The crowd reconciled.
Li Xin, who was about to step out the door to leave, paused, this voice... a bit familiar.
She looked into the center of the crowd.
The first thing I saw was a brilliant blond hair.
Li Xin's eyes stopped on the strands of hair for a few seconds, and took a few steps towards him.
The man was dressed in a gorgeous gray-blue robe and held a cane with a dove-egg-sized gem on the top. His smile was gentle and distant. When he faced this direction, his handsome and genial appearance and a pair of sky-blue eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
Although the contours of his facial features have become more profound, his body has also developed a sea-like aura that has never been seen before, and his actions have also become more modest, restrained and polite, but he still has some shadows of his youth.
It looks like it's a mature version...
