Howard's corpse still hadn't disappeared … Wang Yu didn't have a hobby of torturing corpses, but to prevent him from suddenly going berserk, Wang Yu stepped on Howard and sent a message to Li Xue. "Come back and find the key. I've convinced this old man."
"Persuaded?" Li Xue was puzzled. Judging from Howard's appearance, he didn't seem like someone who would listen to persuasion.
Returning to Howard's wooden hut, Li Xue saw Wang Yu stepping on Howard. Only then did she realize that Wang Yu had used her fists to convince him.
With the shock from before, Li Xue was completely numb to Wang Yu's strength …
His Taiji Fist stance was too grandmaster-like. Li Xue saw how easily Wang Yu toyed with the boss and thought that it would be easy for Wang Yu to take care of this guy.
"Is he dead?" Li Xue stood in the distance and asked with lingering fear. In the game, after a wild boss died, it would turn into a white light and disappear. Li Xue had never fought a boss before, but she still knew the basics.
Wang Yu kicked Howard's head and said, "In theory, he's dead … But he didn't drop any equipment. And he's a boss? How poor."
"…"
Howard was an old man after all. Li Xue saw Wang Yu's violent behavior and was speechless. "Maybe he's a mission boss. You have to go to the mission issuer to claim the reward."
Wang Yu nodded. "Yes, hurry and find what you're looking for. I don't trust the system, so I have to step on him."
Li Xue didn't say anything else. She went into Howard's cabin and searched inside and out. Finally, she walked out in a daze. "Strange, why isn't there anything?"
"Have you searched everywhere? Have you looked under the cracks in the walls and under the floor? "Wang Yu fully expressed his distrust of the system.
Li Xue said, "This cabin is a mission setting. There's no gap or anything. I've searched everywhere, but there's nothing else …"
As she spoke, Li Xue took out something that looked like a beaker. The beaker was half filled with a red liquid.
Wang Yu scratched his head and pointed at Howard's corpse. "Is the clue on him?"
With Urtus's head as an example, Wang Yu naturally wouldn't ignore a boss that wouldn't disappear.
"It should be …" Lee Xue completely believed Wang Yu this time. The NPCs in the game really knew how to trick people.
Wang Yu lowered her head and bent down to lift Howard up. She said to Li Xue, "Go ahead and search. I'll grab him."
Li Xue really couldn't bring herself to search an old man in broad daylight. Even if he was an NPC, the simulation of his entire system was too realistic. Helpless, for the sake of the quest, she had to go all out!
Li Xue blushed and trembled as she reached out to touch Howard's chest.
"Cough, cough …"
At that moment, Howard coughed and woke up, giving Li Xue a fright. However, Howard was currently weak and did not have much strength left.
When Wang Yu saw that the old man had woken up, he was slightly surprised. The old man had been stomped on by Wang Yu, but he was still alive. It seemed that this was the legendary storyline boss.
"Give it to me … Give it to me …" Howard stared at the red liquid in Li Xue's hand and shouted hoarsely.
Just as Li Xue was about to hand it over, Wang Yu stopped her and said with a smile, "Hand over the key!"
"Sigh …" Howard sighed. He took out an ancient key from his pocket and passed it to Wang Yu.
After Wang Yu took it, he stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Hand over the key that Upus wants …"
"?" A huge question mark appeared on Lee Xue's head.
Howard gave Wang Yu a venomous look, took out another key, and handed it over. Only then did Wang Yu accept it with satisfaction.
Li Xue was dumbfounded. This Howard was really smart. He even knew how to disguise himself. And Wang Yu was even more amazing. Even this could not be hidden from him.
"Potion … Potion …" After handing over the key, Howard shouted again.
Wang Yu took the beaker, shook his head, and asked, "What will you drop if I kill you?"
"You're shameless!" Howard was furious. "I've already given you the key!"
Wang Yu laughed. "I didn't say that I would give this to you after handing over the key …" After so many lessons, Wang Yu also understood that to deal with a shameless system, he had to be even more shameless than it.
"You!" Howard was about to say something, but when he saw Wang Yu tilt his hand to pour the potion away, he immediately softened. He took out four small bottles of stimulants and said, "This is for you. Give me the potion!"
Thankfully, Wang Yu hadn't been careless just now. It turned out that this old man still had four bottles of stimulants. There was no guarantee that the effects of the stimulants could be stacked. It seemed like the life-saving move that the system had given him was something along the lines of "taking drugs until you die".
Wang Yu said, "This thing will die after you're done enjoying yourself? You're trying to scam me, aren't you?"
"There's a treasure chest behind the wooden hut. The key I gave you can open it …" Howard said in despair. "This is all I have … If you don't believe me, just kill me."
"He really extorted it? Can the game be played like this? " Li Xue was dumbfounded as she watched one of them try to bluff his way through, while the other shamelessly extorted and blackmailed.
When Wang Yu saw that he couldn't get anything else, he smiled and grabbed the four bottles in Howard's hand. Then, he said to Li Xue, "You stay here and watch him. I'll be right back."
Li Xue's quest had been completed the moment Howard handed over the key, so Wang Yu wasn't afraid that Howard would resist.
"Where's the potion!" Howard said angrily. "You're not trustworthy!"
Wang Yu said, "I'm a trustworthy person, but I don't trust you. I need to see what's in the chest first."
Leaving Howard behind, Wang Yu went to the wooden hut and found a treasure chest.
He took out the key and opened the chest. Wang Yu found two skill books and a few gold coins.
[Corrosive Potion Creation] Rare skill: Can create corrosive poisons. Class requirement: Dark Warlock.
[Toxic Potion Creation] Rare skill: Can create poisons that kill upon contact. Class requirement: Dark Warlock.
It seemed like this was the poisonous fog in the two test tubes that Howard had thrown just now.
After looting only two books, Wang Yu suddenly felt that the system was really a scam. Li Xue was a Light Priest, but the boss gave two Dark Warlock skill books.
Why didn't they think about it? Why would a Light Priest play with such dirty things?
Little did they know that these two potion concoction books weren't supposed to appear in this mission at all. Instead, they were extorted by Wang Yu. Light Priests didn't play with these things, and Howard was a dark-type, so it was even more impossible for him to have items for Priests.
Back at the front of the house, Wang Yu came up to Howard with dissatisfaction. He held two books and asked, "That's it? Do you have the prescription for the stimulant? "
"No!!" Howard said firmly, "Only our teacher has this secret recipe. When I and that idiot Upus graduated, we each stole five bottles from our teacher …"
It turned out that these two wretched old men were from the same sect.
"Sigh, what a pity …" Wang Yu didn't know if he was lamenting that they had stolen too little or that they hadn't gotten the secret recipe. He shook his head and handed the potion over.
Howard took the potion and drank it in one gulp. His weak expression regained its vigor.
After recovering, Howard stared coldly at Wang Yu and said, "You shameless bastards, hurry up and scram. I don't want to see you again."
It was just an insult from an NPC. There was no need to stoop to his level. Besides, with such heavy losses, no one would be in a good mood.
Wang Yu and Li Xue looked at each other and smiled. They turned around and left.
On the way back, Wang Yu took out two potion concoction books and asked Li Xue, "Two books. Do you want them?"
Li Xue looked at the two books in amazement and said, "I have no use for Dark Warlock stuff. Brother Yu, you can sell them."
"Alright!" Wang Yu didn't stand on ceremony either. After all, she had contributed the most, so these two books were what she deserved.
"By the way, Brother Yu, you didn't accept the quest. How did you know that the key was fake?" Li Xue asked curiously.
Wang Yu looked in Yu Huicheng's direction and said, "My teacher told me that the NPCs in this world have been instilled with a deceptive program by the designers, so I had to trick him. I didn't expect it to work."
Li Xue was stunned for a moment. She smiled and said, "What if the key was real? Wouldn't you have tricked him for nothing? "
Wang Yu replied, "I won't lose anything anyway. It doesn't cost me anything to try."
Li Xue was speechless.
