Chapter 353: Chapter 353 The Old Village Chief Has A Quest?

For a long time, the daily quests that Zhou Yu needed to do have been given out by the NPCs of Luhua City. Although the Moe Coins made by the daily revenue of the stores was enough to exceed that of the daily quests after the mini Luhua Village was upgraded into Luhua City, Zhou Yu still carried on doing some daily quests as usual. In addition to making Moe Coins and getting new items, it was also a good way to improve friendliness level.

Waking up early in the morning today, rubbing the sleepy eyes, Zhou Yu was dragged by Xiaobao to listen to the morning cla.s.s for half an hour, although he was not concentrating most of the time.

Since the last time he fell into a coma, his mother has strictly ordered that he must partic.i.p.ate in Xiaobao’s morning lessons every day to stabilize his mind through chanting Buddhist scripture. Although Zhou Yu knew that this was useless, in order to make his mother feel at ease, he still came to partic.i.p.ate every day. Of course, he mainly treated Xiaobao’s chanting sound as a lullaby.

After finis.h.i.+ng the early cla.s.s, he yawned and stretched his body, ready to jog around the amus.e.m.e.nt park and then take today’s daily quests as well. It was normal at the beginning, and none of them were difficult quests. Most of them were quests that he needed to go from one place to another place.

When pa.s.sing a small park in the amus.e.m.e.nt park, he saw some old people from Luhua village, who were also doing the morning exercise. When Zhou Yu ran past, they said h.e.l.lo to him. Among them, the old village chief Zhou Xingyi was the most enthusiastic, and Zhou Yu also greeted them before doing other things.

Today, however, a strange thing happened. On the head of the old village chief, an exclamation mark appeared. What does it mean? The old village chief has also begun to give out quests? Is this the real world? Is this just fantasy?

Suddenly, Zhou Yu thought he was still in a dream. He pinched his own face and found that it was very painful. After taking off the gla.s.ses, the exclamation mark also disappeared. Now Zhou Yu was finally sure that the people in the real world also started to give out quests.

This made Zhou Yu very interested.

Most of the NPCs in the ACG have fixed dialogue lines. When the quest icon appeared, he could receive the quest as long as he talked to them. However, the old village chief was not someone from the ACG world, so even if it showed that he had quests to give out, it would be impossible to get the quests without certain conversational skills. He couldn’t just come forward and ask, “Grandpa village chief, do you have any quest for me?”

It would be no problem to ask this in the game, but in reality, it was a bit silly to ask things like this. After forcing himself to get out of his room more often, now it was time to force him to practice his conversational skills?

Zhou Yu always felt that the ability he gained was trying to transform him from an otaku to a normal person, but the method used made him, an otaku, unable to refuse it. If in reality a crazy scientist has created such a system, probably otakus all over the world would be extinct.

Walking to the old village chief and looking at the familiar quest icon, Zhou Yu found out that he was unable to click. Clearly, he even dared to try to pick girls in the ACG world after he turned into a mini person. However, after coming back to the real world, he still didn’t know how to talk to an old man, which was kinda weird.

The old village chief has just finished doing exercise and was preparing to play chess with a few old pals under the tree. Then he noticed that Zhou Yu was following him, he couldn’t help but ask, “Boy Yu, don’t you have anything to do today? Do you want to play chess with us?”

At this time, Zhou Yu was surprised to see that after the old village chief finished talking, several dialogue options appeared in front of him:

1. Play chess with Zhou Xingyi; 2. Refuse to play chess and leave;
2. Only watch on the side.

d.a.m.n, why does it look like a j.a.panese dating sim? Although Zhou Yu was not a fan of this kind of game, he still found it very hard to choose between those options.

Because his chess skill was not very good, and the old village chief was very good at it, in the end, Zhou Yu chose option 3 and decided to wait and see. And of course, he couldn’t select the options using his eyes, but tell the village chief what he wanted to do.

Man, this feels like playing a dating sim in the real world more and more.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but think this way.

While watching the old village chief playing chess with others, he racked his brains trying to find out what the quest of the old village chief was.

After a while, although some conversations also triggered the dialogue selection, Zhou Yu still could not grasp the ‘keywords’, so there was no way to push the progress forward.

Why is it so difficult to get a quest in the real world? Zhou Yu was very frustrated.

At this moment, an old man suddenly said, “Old Zhou, why didn’t you take out your tape recorder? No wonder I always felt like something was missing today and I couldn’t concentrate on playing chess. I just noticed that you didn’t bring your tape recorder today.”

The old village chief had a very old tape recorder that he often brought it with him all the time. Normally, when he was playing chess with other people, he would often play some Chinese opera. The old people were used to hearing opera while playing chess, so they felt that something was missing today.

“Sigh, my grandson was playing a ball game in the house, and the ball he kicked knocked my tape recorder off the table and broke it.”

Speaking of this, the old village chief felt very sad. After all, that tape recorder has accompanied him for many years. He always treated it as his treasure. But now, it was broken by the Little Rat.

“Why don’t you take it to the repair shop? Without the opera, it just doesn’t feel right.”

“I did. But I went to all the repair shops I could find, but they all said that the tape recorder is too old, and the component that needs to be replaced is not available now, so they can’t repair it.”

Hearing this, everyone sighed that they were also getting very old now. Old people don’t like to hear people talk about this kind of thing. Unfortunately, no one can stand the pa.s.sage of time. Everyone will disappear one day, just like the old tape recorder.

Zhou Yu, who has been watching on the side for so long, was almost in tears. Finally, he was able to find the keyword of the quest.

Sure enough, after the sigh, options appeared in front of Zhou Yu:

1. Tell Zhou Xingyi that you can repair the tape recorder;
2. Continue to watch chess as if nothing happened;
3. Turn around and leave.

Although he didn’t know if it could be repaired, this was clearly the only reason why the old village chief had an exclamation mark on his head.

“Grandpa, why don’t you show me the tape recorder, maybe I can fix it.”

As soon as Zhou Yu said so, a happy expression appeared on the head of the old village chief, obviously this option increased the other party’s friendliness level.

“Boy Yu, do you know how to repair electrical appliances?”

“I’ll take a look, I can’t promise anything.”

In this way, the first quest in the real world: Repair the old village chief’s tape recorder, was accepted.
