The Elf Blacksmith Carlos Blaze had been living a comfortable life recently.
Ever since he had the "Mission System", he realized that he no longer needed to worry about the lack of apprentices to assist him in forging.
Of course, the premise was that you had to keep your mouth shut and not reveal some secrets easily.
Especially where there were rumors of treasures, relics, and the like.
Otherwise, these Chosen Ones would definitely run away faster than rabbits if they heard it …
They seemed to have an unparalleled interest in the legends of treasures and relics. Every day, they fantasized about digging for treasures and making a fortune.
As long as they chatted with you, they would ask about these things …
Even though some people left, more people showed their interest in smithing.
Almost every day, new Chosen Ones would come to Carlos's forging shop and ask him to teach them forging skills.
These Chosen Ones were very hardworking and enthusiastic. Many of them did not even want to be paid!
As long as Carlos agreed to teach them forging skills, they were willing to help Carlos do anything.
Whether it was in work or in life …
There was even a female Chosen One who stayed to learn and took the initiative to take care of Carlos's meals. Every day, she made different kinds of fruit banquets for him, which made Carlos's appetite even more picky.
This made Carlos extremely satisfied. At the same time, he felt that Mother Goddess was really great!
Mother Nature above!
Where did she summon these warriors from?
They were really a group of good children who loved to learn and were passionate and selfless …
Hmm … although sometimes it was a little strange.
Of course, the Chosen Ones did not always make Carlos very satisfied.
They also had some shortcomings that Carlos did not like.
Sometimes, they even made Carlos very angry.
What made Carlos most dissatisfied was that they were too rash and gave up too easily.
And … sometimes, they were too heartless.
Almost every Chosen One who came to learn would first mention how to make equipment.
But … forging was a technical job. Without a solid foundation, learning how to make equipment directly was tantamount to building a castle in the air.
How could one learn how to make equipment without a few years?
For this, Carlos even reprimanded them.
After learning that it would take at least a few years to completely learn how to make equipment, almost all the Chosen Ones chose to give up and asked to be taught how to repair equipment quickly …
Repairing equipment was easier to learn.
However, as an experienced Blacksmith, Carlos still hoped that everyone could learn from the basics and work steadily to become outstanding Elven Blacksmiths!
However … even with Carlos's earnest advice, these Chosen Ones were still unwilling to give up.
After learning that repairing equipment was easier to learn, the majority of players stopped learning anything else. They were only willing to learn how to repair equipment in a simple way.
This even made Carlos a little angry.
Seriously … There were many things that could be done with forging techniques. If one was patient enough to learn for ten years, they could even create powerful magic items. Why were these guys so obsessed with repairing equipment?
Was it because he could learn it quickly?
But … if he only knew how to repair equipment, what future did he have?
Of course, in the end, he really couldn't dissuade these Heaven's Chosen Ones and couldn't stand their incessant pleading. His heart softened and he agreed.
Fortunately, there were still two or three people who listened to him and were willing to settle down and learn from the basics.
When Carlos started teaching, he was surprised to find that these Chosen Ones were very talented. They could learn many things in one go!
Especially in forging techniques, many of which required long-term practice to form muscle memory. The Chosen Ones could easily master it after a few practice sessions.
This was actually the effect of the players' physical talents.
Although Eve's intelligence couldn't be changed, the potential of the body could. When players learned skills, they were much faster than the natives.
After all … their aptitude was comparable to that of the Ancient Elves.
However, what happened next made Carlos very disappointed, and his heart turned cold.
Every time the Chosen Ones learned the ability to repair equipment, they wouldn't come back the next day.
They basically learned to walk away one by one.
The better ones would say thank you when they left.
Those who were just a little bit closer would have slipped away happily.
And as long as they left, no one would come back …
This made Carlos feel that he was just a tool for teaching forging techniques. He would be thrown away after he was done.
This made the old Elf feel slightly wronged …
Why didn't they come back?
In any case … they were master and disciple.
Am I really that annoying?
At least … they should have said goodbye before they left?
At the same time, he didn't like such a Heaven's Chosen One.
Of course, not all Chosen Ones were like this.
Those who were willing to stay for a long time were very respectful to him.
Carlos was old, but his senses were still very sharp. Many people respected him from the bottom of their hearts.
Especially a female Chosen One called Meng Zhihan. She had been learning seriously from him and really treated him as a teacher.
So … to these Chosen Ones, he opened his heart and taught them everything. He really treated them as his disciples.
Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions.
Those who left without saying goodbye, so be it …
Anyway, they don't like me, and I don't like them!
You treat me as a tool, then I'll treat you as a tool too!
Carlos shook his head.
With this mentality, he pushed open the door of his house.
As soon as he stepped out, Carlos was stunned.
He realized that a group of Heaven's Chosen Ones had gathered in front of his house!
According to his impression, most of them were those who had learned skills from him.
However, many of them left without saying a word once they learned how to repair equipment. They left a bad impression on him.
What was going on?
Why did they all come back?
Carlos was confused.
When these Chosen Ones saw Carlos come out, their eyes lit up.
In an instant, their faces were filled with flattering smiles. They greeted Carlos and gave him fruits and other gifts.
"Ahaha, Teacher Carlos, good morning!"
"Grandpa Carlos, I'm here to see you! This is a gift for you! "
"Grandpa Carlos, thank you for teaching me skills. I left in a hurry a while ago and didn't say goodbye to you. I'm here to see you today!"
"Grandpa Carlos, you look good recently!"
Carlos was speechless.
Looking at the warm and smiling faces, he was a little dazed.
"Hmph, they left, why did they come back?"
He blew his beard and said angrily.
However, his expression softened a lot.
Upon seeing Carlos's relaxed expression, all the players were overjoyed.
They surrounded the old elf and opened the way for him while flattering him.
"You can't say that. We're very grateful for the skills you taught us!"
"Yes! Yes! I'm really grateful to you! "
"A teacher for a day, a father for life! Of course, I'll come back to see you often! "
"Yes! Yes! Grandpa Carlos, please don't be angry with us! "
Hearing their words, a part of Carlos's heart softened.
He looked at the players with a complicated expression, sighed, and waved his hand.
"Forget it, forget it. I understand … you're all busy and have your own things to do. I'm not angry. "
"Go do your own things. I've received your kindness. I still have work to do."
After that, he called out to the other two Chosen Ones who had been humbly learning from him and continued to the Forging Shop.
However, the surrounding players did not leave.
They seemed to be in a daze for a while before continuing to flatter him.
"Grandpa Carlos, do you need help?"
"Grandpa Carlos, I'll help you carry your things!"
"Grandpa Carlos, are you really not angry with us?"
Carlos was speechless.
What's wrong with these Chosen Ones?
Didn't he say that he forgave them?
Why … is there no end to it?
Suddenly, Carlos's heart skipped a beat as he realized something.
He rolled his eyes and said,
"You guys … didn't accept another mission, did you?"
The players were speechless.
They were stunned for a moment before they smiled again.
"Ahem … no, no! We came back to see you sincerely. "
"Yes, yes! We really want to be recognized by you! "
"Yes, yes! We even want to be friends with you despite our age difference! "
Carlos was speechless.
"Hehe."
He sneered, squeezed out of the crowd, and left.
Leaving behind a group of players staring at each other.
"Why … did it fail?"
"Didn't you say that Carlos likes this kind of fruit very much? I even plucked a lot … "
"After the apology, the favorability increased a little, but it dropped back down …"
"Too bad! If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have left in such a hurry! "
"Who knew that leaving without saying goodbye after completing the mission would decrease the favorability of the NPC!"
"Isn't the Favorability System too strict?"
The players wailed.
Meng Han, who had been learning from Carlos, heard the complaints of the players and stopped.
She looked at the old elf who was walking away and hesitated for a moment before she came to the players and sighed.
"You … won't be able to save the favorability of the NPC."
The players were stunned when they heard that.
"Why not?"
"I watched Brother Mu's video. Catering to the NPC's preferences should increase the favorability!"
"Yes! I remember that Carlos likes this kind of fruit the most. "
Meng Han shook her head.
"You've seen the video, but you've forgotten the most important thing."
"What is it?"
The players were stunned.
"Immersion and … sincerity."
Meng Han pointed at her chest.
"You should watch Brother Mu's video carefully and study the reason why he can increase the favorability of the NPC!"
After saying that, she turned around and left, following the old elf's footsteps.
The players were left staring at each other.
…
Similar things were happening all over Fei Lengcui.
Some players found the trick and successfully increased the favorability of the NPC.
But even if they increased the favorability, it only increased a little …
How could it be so easy to increase the favorability of the NPC unless it was a special situation?
More players found that their last-minute efforts were of no use.
They found that the favorability of the NPC was not as easy to increase as they thought …
At this time, they realized how powerful Li Mu, who had a comprehensive Reputation rating of 100 points, was!
In the sky.
Eve nodded in satisfaction as she watched the players hit a wall.
"It's time for them to hit a wall."
"Only by letting the players understand the importance of sincere communication with the elves can they restrain some of their bad habits and effectively strengthen their cooperation with the native elves …"
"If this problem is solved, then the farming and expansion of forces will be much easier!"
Don't place your hopes on the overall quality of the players.
If you wanted them to restrain their bad habits and interact with the NPCs according to Eve's idea, you could only use rewards and punishments at the beginning …
But …
After a long time, it would be different.
Eve believed that once the players accepted the new favorability setting, their relationship with the NPCs and their attitude toward the game —
There would be an unprecedented change!
