Chapter 98: Chapter 28 Common Problems of Protagonists in Different Worlds
"Why don't you two come to our village to take a rest first, and let us thank you properly."
After learning that Ye Cheng and the others were the adventurers who killed the poisonous dragon, the old village chief followed The villagers immediately changed their previous attitude and became very enthusiastic towards Ye Cheng and the others.
"The Demonic Poison Dragon was killed by Ye Cheng alone. He has nothing to do with me. I just got along."
Seeing people saying that they wanted to thank them for killing the Demonic Poison Dragon, Shima Yosuke also had a very professional ethics and thought that they were asking for a mission. He was rewarded, so he immediately said that he had done nothing.
"Let's just forget about entering your village. I'm afraid that if I don't do it, I'll be plotted by you.
Since you guys also know that you lied about the difficulty of the mission, I won't say anything more about this mission. You must give me another 50% of the reward.
Otherwise, I will not only report this matter to the Adventurer's Guild, but also inform your local lords."
Regarding the request made by Night City, the old village chief did not hesitate at all. He immediately took out a small bag of gold coins from behind and handed it to Ye Cheng.
In the past, he would choose to lie about the difficulty of the commission and retain part of the funds because he believed that no adventurer could defeat the poisonous dragon. The money he withheld was intended to be used to relocate the village.
But now the body of the Demonic Poison Dragon is lying in front of them. Once the Demonic Poison Dragon dies, the environmental problems caused by it will naturally be solved, and then they will naturally no longer need to move the village.
After taking the bag of gold coins handed over by the other party, Ye Cheng confirmed that the amount was correct and was about to leave. However, at this time, the old village chief suddenly stopped in front of Ye Cheng.
"Do you have anything else to do?"
Under normal circumstances, after an adventurer defeats a powerful monster, the surrounding villages will hold a banquet to celebrate, and the adventurer, as the protagonist, would not refuse such an invitation under normal circumstances. .
After all, not only can you eat and drink for free, but you can also be praised by everyone. Many people still enjoy this feeling very much.
But what puzzled the old village chief was how Ye Cheng was different from ordinary adventurers, and even didn't play according to the routine at all.
He even said in a rather vague way just now that there are many young and beautiful girls in their village, and they admire handsome and powerful adventurers, but Ye City is still indifferent?
"To be honest, we have one more thing we want to trouble this powerful adventurer.
Although the Demonic Poison Dragon has been eradicated by you, the water source that was previously polluted cannot be restored overnight. The
polluted water source will not be restored overnight. There is no way to drink and irrigate. Now our village is already in a state of near drought, so..." "
So you are going to let me provide you with after-sales service and solve the problem of contaminated water sources?"
The old village chief Before he finished speaking, Ye Cheng had already guessed what the other party wanted to say and answered: "It's a pity, not to mention that I don't know the magic of purifying water.
Even if I can help you, this is It should be regarded as another commission.
The mission I received from the Adventurer's Guild before was to defeat the poisonous monsters that polluted the surrounding environment, and that was it. As for other aspects, it is not within the scope of my work at all."
If you haven't heard it before As they talked about in the old village, after making a lot of money, Ye Cheng might think of ways to help the village solve the water problem, but now, Ye Cheng doesn't want to meddle in other people's business at all.
The other party regards the adventurer's life as nothing, so what can I do to pity such a person?
Seeing that Ye Cheng had decided to leave, Lao Cunzi also sighed greatly. He also knew that their previous actions had offended Ye Cheng.
To be honest, the fact that the other party did not report their behavior was enough to give them face. The behavior of letting Ye Cheng continue to help was indeed a sign that they were going too far.
"Yosuke, aren't you going to leave? Do you really plan to stay and help them solve the water problem?" Ye
Cheng was about to leave, but when he looked at Shima Yosuke who was still standing there, he couldn't help but be stunned. .
"Yecheng, I think we should help them. Without water, this village will collapse.
Besides, there are many women and children in this village, and many of them don't even know what the village chief is doing. "
Hearing Shima Yosuke's words, Yosuke knew that Shima Yosuke had softened his heart. This is also a common problem for the protagonists of other worlds. To put it nicely, he is called "Asashi", and to put it worse, he is called "The Holy Mother"!
Ye Cheng is not a heinous person. According to his observation just now, although the people in the village are indeed affected by the water source problem, it will not affect their normal life for the time being. It is just farmland and other things that will probably die.
The poisonous dragon that affected the environment is dead. In just a few days, the polluted water source will naturally be diluted until it becomes non-toxic. This period of time can be regarded as lying to the village about the difficulty and treating the adventurers as nothing. The punishment is also good.
But Shima Yosuke now said that he understood the feeling of having no water to drink and having to rely on rainwater to survive, so he wanted to help these villagers.
"Since this is your decision, I will take my leave first. I also hope that your kindness will be repaid well.
Yosuke, let me give you one last piece of advice. This is a different world, not a game.
Here Everyone has independent thoughts and personalities. They will not treat all players equally like NPCs, and you will not be rewarded for everything you do.
Of course, I have always admired my willingness to lend a helping hand to the weak. Such people, and also agree with this approach.
But not all people are worthy of our helping hands. That's all I have to say. I hope I can teach you a good lesson this time."
I left these words. , Ye Cheng chose to turn around and leave. In his opinion, Shima Yosuke was still too naive.
But you can't actually blame him. After all, he is just a seventeen-year-old boy in modern society who has not been beaten by society.
Compared to the other party, Ye Cheng has been wandering around Rukongai for decades, and the cruel business environment has taught him a lot. Sometimes being too soft-hearted may not be a good thing.
Some people are worth saving, just like the elf girl Cui before, but some people may not be grateful even if you help them, and some may even add insult to injury.
After going through so much, Ye Cheng thought that he still had a good eye for seeing people. The old village chief was arrogant at first and respectful at the other. Before meeting Ye Cheng and the others, he regarded adventurers as if they were nothing.
But when he learned that Ye Cheng and the others had killed the Demonic Poison Dragon, and that he had something to ask for, his attitude was completely different. Ye Cheng had seen a lot of such two-faced people in Rukongai before, and it was not worth it at all. Help.
