Although the two players at the door knew that Annan was "going out to get something".
But they obviously didn't expect that Annan could get back so many things after just going out for a circle...
"... Do you want to mention it for me?"
Seeing Annan slowly moving towards the City Lord's Mansion like a snail, they hurried over and asked very enthusiastically.
He was carrying a huge, boxy backpack like a high school student who just had a vacation, and a wooden barrel that reached to his knees was slung around his waist, and he even kicked his legs when he walked. An unknown object wrapped in cotton cloth, taller than Annan himself, and resembling a giant lollipop—and very heavy at first glance.
Annan glanced at the two players.
Are you hungry for my favor again
The main reason is that the reaction of these two people is too visual...
It's like the seniors who enthusiastically run over to carry bags for their juniors and juniors every year when the university starts.
Oh, maybe the junior is not worthy.
Unless the senior is weird.
"Thank you very much."
Although he complained for two rounds in his heart, Annan showed a reserved and joyful smile on his face.
He nodded gently, and quickly responded: "That's troublesome."
As he spoke, he handed over the wooden barrel used to store the hand of the elf and the backpack containing the book to the two of them respectively. The reason why he didn't hand over the sledgehammer to them was because Annan didn't want them to know that it was his new cursed object.
Otherwise they would have received too much information.
Moreover, they may not be able to afford this hammer...
That sledgehammer was really heavy.
You know, the strength attribute of the players is now 6 points, and even a few are 5 points, and none of them are 7 points.
Although Annan looks weak and short, his strength attribute is actually as high as ten points.
Yes, Annan's strength is far greater than this group of rookies...
But Annan still did not refuse their requests for missions.
It's not just because Annan is looking for an opportunity to send the "unique designated token" of favorability to players.
Moreover, Annan deeply knows that the way to quickly find someone to build a good impression is not to "help others" but to "ask for help".
Troubling others appropriately will make the relationship between the two closer.
The more you pay for one thing, the more you will like it... This is called the "effort defense effect". That is to say, human beings always have a tendency to find reasons for their efforts.
The greater the cost to achieve a certain goal, the higher the evaluation of this goal in the mind of the actor. Failure to do so creates a dissonance between behaviour, cognition and attitude.
To put it simply, when Annan asks the players for help, the players will convince themselves that Annan should be helped and that they like Annan, so as to prove that their behavior is justified.
In childhood, there were many cunning boys who were good at using this trick to strike up a conversation with the person they liked: for example, asking the other party to borrow their books, asking the other party to help them get an eraser, and asking the other party to give them half of the textbooks to improve the efficiency of the relationship. It is far greater than "lend the book to the other party by yourself", "help the other party pick up things" and so on.
... For example, after the senior helped the junior with her luggage, the junior may not have a good impression of the senior.
On the other hand, the school girls who are being helped can easily gain a favorable opinion above the level of "friendliness" on the side of the seniors who help others. Even if he asked the senior for help, it was easy to be accepted.
In a sense, this is one of the reasons why licking a dog has nothing...
As long as this small request for help is simple enough, it will not cause trouble or bore the other party, and if you ask for help enough times, a trust relationship will soon be established.
If Annan can give back a sufficient amount of "benefits" in a timely manner, then this kind of trust will quickly turn into goodwill.
In rpg games, the relationship between the player and the npc who issued the task, and the player's sense of substitution in the game world are developed through this method. Even players' joy and attention to some extremely difficult and frustrating hardcore games are cultivated in this way.
These players, until now, still think that they are brushing Annan's favorability.
actually not.
The truth is, Annan has been brushing their favorability.
And very efficient.
"Thank you both."
In his room, Annan saluted the two players seriously and asked them to sit down.
Then one person sent 100 favors.
Even if they didn't actually help... Annan himself carried these things so far, and they just carried them from the door to the back room.
But in the face of Annan's thanks, the two of them just smiled and responded:
"It's okay, it's not heavy."
"You're welcome, don't tell me you have something to say!"
"You two work all night, I'm already guilty..."
Annan nodded, and said in a cold voice: "I will find a way to compensate you later."
Hearing this, it was the two players who looked a little embarrassed.
Because they knew it—they didn't take the door seriously at all.
Instead, he stood at the door and hung up to watch the live water forum.
"...It's okay, it's all trivial."
The player named "Andersen" subconsciously glanced at his companion "Fang Jiucai" and coughed lightly: "We'll go back to watch the door first. If we leave for too long, it won't be good if someone breaks in."
"Thanks for your hard work, both of you."
Annan nodded and said gratefully.
Andersen and Fang Jiucai hurriedly resigned.
When they left Annan's door, they watched their favorability score jump up again, and they were happy.
"This Don Juan is a good boy."
Andersen sighed: "It's really rare."
"That's it," Fang Jiucai clicked his tongue, "In this dark world, it's not easy to be so pure and polite..."
"It's not too bad, I will be a fan of Don Juan for ten years from now on."
Andersen agreed: "No matter what new faction comes out in the future, I will always look for Frozen Water Harbor. Nothing else, just relying on Don Juan's ability to handle things, and working for him feels comfortable... Isn't that enough?"
"That is to say, there is no good-looking young lady to lick for you now."
Fang Jiucai saw through Andersen's thoughts: "If there really is a new faction, the leader is a good-looking thief, I think you will definitely apostate on the spot."
Andersen suddenly became angry: "Shut up, Don Juan is not good-looking?! Anyway, you will definitely not be able to fuck, is there any difference? Don't you just think of Don Juan as a beautiful girl
"If it's really the leader of the beautiful girl camp, she must be spoiled, or she is independent and vigilant... No matter what it is, do you think she can have such a good attitude towards us
"It's like how happy it is for netizens to say hello to each other! If you find out that the opposite sex is opposite, do you still dare to go up and say hello?"
"...you are such a... genius."
Fang Jiucai managed to swallow the word "abnormal" and replaced it with "genius".
Because halfway through his speech, he suddenly fell into deep thought...
... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case
