In the vast sea of people.
Ye Zichen passed through the novice village.
The Novice Village NPC residences were everywhere. Thatched cottages were scattered throughout the Novice Village.
In front of the house …
The villagers of the newbie village would always be surrounded by countless players. They would whisper to each other and make certain deals that were tacitly agreed upon.
"You don't know either. Alright, sorry to bother you."
Ye Zichen was one of them. If he was purely trying his luck in the novice village, then finding a rune stone appraiser would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Hope is slim. Time is a waste.
Since they were both NPCs in the novice village, Ye Zichen thought about whether he could get some information about rune stone appraisers from other NPCs.
Unfortunately …
The result was barely satisfactory.
Ye Zichen had already asked several tens of families, but no one knew of the existence of a Rune Stone Appraiser, and no one had even heard of his name.
"Could it be a fake name?"
Ye Zichen left the NPC's side, then looked at the houses in the village with a frown.
He still had more than half of his staff to visit.
But from the looks of it now, even if he went to ask them, they would most likely not know anything.
"Are you looking for Atta?"
At that very moment, a one-eyed man suddenly appeared in front of Ye Zichen. He smiled evilly like a dishonest merchant.
"You know him?"
"Hehe, he's a regular customer of our casino."
The one-eyed man squinted his eyes. Ye Zichen also saw his name.
Simon Lv 200
NPC。
Although the NPC didn't seem like a good person, he was the only person Ye Zichen met who had information on Ata.
He was right.
The image Xuan-Yuan Xiang gave him was of Atana, the pickpocket that stole Ye Zichen's money in the novice village not long ago.
At the time, Ye Zichen was rather shocked.
Who would have thought that the thief who stole the players' money every day in the Novice Village would be the hidden NPC Rune Stone Appraiser?
Just this news …
If Xuan-Yuan Xiang hadn't told him, Ye Zichen would never have believed it.
"Do you know where he is now?"
"Of course."
Simon grinned and rubbed his hands back and forth, but he did not continue.
He took out two thousand Star Coins from his pocket.
Simon glanced at it and slowly pushed the Star Coin back.
F * ck!
Why were the NPCs of the novice village so greedy?
"How much do you want?"
"That depends on your sincerity."
Simon smiled. Ye Zichen was actually starting to suspect that this guy was intentionally screwing him over.
He had been asking questions in the Novice Village for more than half an hour.
Anyone who paid attention would know that he was looking for Atana.
The NPCs in the Novice Village were all kinds of monsters. Maybe this guy was here to scam them.
"Here's 20,000!"
Ye Zichen hesitated for a moment, then took out twenty thousand star coins.
Simon still had a look of disdain. Ye Zichen clenched his teeth and let out a deep sigh.
"This is the deposit."
"Take me to see Atana. After I see him, I'll give you another 80,000 as a reward."
Only then did Simon show a hint of satisfaction on his face.
He put the pouch of twenty thousand Star Coins into his pocket and scratched his nose.
"Let's go."
Ye Zichen walked into a house under Simon's lead.
Not long after, Simon opened up a cellar-like passage and walked down ….
"…"
He didn't expect there to be a whole new world here.
Casino!
Ye Zichen looked around. He wasn't the first player to notice this place. At least from the looks of it, there were several thousand players shouting with red faces.
"F * ck, you're so cocky when you don't have any money!"
Dong …
Chaos appeared in front of the casino. Ye Zichen saw a player being beaten to the ground by the casino staff as he cursed.
"Just you wait, when laozi reaches Level 200 …"
"Throw him out!"
The NPCs completely ignored the player. Two NPCs dragged the player out like a dead dog.
"You didn't get scared, did you?" Simon smiled. "You otherworldly warriors always like this. You laugh when you win money, but when you lose it all, you threaten to level up and fight us. What do you mean by level up? Is it cultivation? "
"Something like that," Ye Zichen nodded.
Ye Zichen didn't have any interest in this sort of situation. Not to mention in the game, even gamblers were the same in real life.
"Where is Atana?"
"Very soon," Simon shrugged. "But before that, I need to tell you something. His situation is rather special, so you better be mentally prepared."
"What do you mean?"
Simon smiled without saying anything, then directly brought Ye Zichen to a secret room at the very back of the casino.
"Hey, friend, you better let me go."
"Let me out, I'll earn enough money very soon, then return to pay you back."
"We're all old friends, there's no need to be like this, right?"
An NPC leaned on the iron window of the secret room and shouted towards the outside.
There were also several muscular men patrolling outside with whips and sticks.
"This is …" Ye Zichen frowned.
"They can't pay us back what they owe us," Simon shrugged. "Originally, we wanted to wait for their families to come and redeem them, but I noticed that I was wrong. How could these guys have families? Instead, I have to provide food for them every day."
"You're rather kind."
"No, no, no," Simon shook his head. "I'm preparing to sell them to the mines in a few days. I'm not a philanthropist. Alright, the Atana you're looking for is this one. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Simon signaled the patrol outside to open Atana's iron gate.
"Hey, old friend, someone came to see you."
Atana, who was wearing beggar clothes, sat on the floor in the room.
He did not ask for help like the others. Instead, when the door was opened, he silently sat on the floor without even looking up.
"Atana!"
"I heard you," Atana frowned impatiently. "What did he come to me for? I don't even know him."
"Are you sure?"
Ye Zichen smiled.
"Think about it carefully."
Atana looked at Ye Zichen with a frown. Not long later, shock surfaced in his eyes.
"You actually came here."
"It's useless even if you came. I don't have a single cent on me. How about you beat me up?"
"You're a rune stone appraiser, right?" Ye Zichen leaned over and whispered into Atana's ear. "If you are, then I can redeem you right now."
"How did you know?" Atana raised his eyebrows.
"Don't worry about it, just tell me if I am or not!"
"You want me to help you appraise the rune stone?" Atana revealed a smile, then sat down on the floor. "Help me redeem myself, and give me another 20 million to recoup my losses."
Ye Zichen:???
"What are you blanking out for? Hurry up and give me the money," Atana sat on the floor fearlessly. "I'm the only one in the entire Novice Village who knows how to appraise runes, if you …"
"Here, this is the last eighty thousand," Ye Zichen took out another eighty thousand.
Ye Zichen took out another eighty thousand. "Send him to mine, I think he's pretty suitable for mining."
