Chapter 78: Only 10 points of morality are needed to get a good entry [VIP]
After enjoying a delicious meal on his farm, Lin Chen looked around at his residents and buildings. The labor force at the mines and ranch was clearly insufficient.
It seems that there are not enough people.
Yoshi, go capture some red names and bring them back as free labor!
Lin Chen opened the map and selected the abandoned factory marked as a gathering area for red-named individuals. As the teleportation light faded, she already had her sword in her hand.
Over thirty red-named people in the factory turned their heads simultaneously. Without pausing, Lin Chen charged directly at the nearest target.
To ensure they could start working immediately, Lin Chen kindly kept his sword unsheathed.
The hilt of the sword struck the back of the neck with precision, and the first Red Name fell. The second Red Name, who was holding a knife, was dodged by her side and knocked down with a backhand elbow.
These red names are too slow to react.
Lin Chen easily dodged all the attacks, his movements clean and efficient. Three minutes later, the ground was littered with unconscious Red Names.
The looting process began. Each red-named player was carefully inspected by the players. Pistols, daggers, body armor, wallets, and everything else they could take were stuffed into their backpacks. One red-named player was wearing a gold necklace, so she ripped the chain off and put it away.
After confirming that the search was complete, Lin Chen diligently used [Conquer] on each person.
One by one, white light enveloped the entire factory, marking all the red names. Transmitted back to the farm, the system automatically assigned this new workforce to various positions.
The efficiency bar immediately began to rise.
When Lin Chen was inspecting his property in the system, he noticed that a worker in the mine had a status bar showing [Leisure] and personality traits such as [Lazy] and [Clumsy], which made him furious.
How dare an NPC be in a player's territory, eating the player's food, and even slacking off instead of working properly?!
You are looking for death, really looking for death!
Angry players clicked hard on the bad entries.
A system prompt suddenly pops up.
[Do you want to consume 10 moral points to reselect the resident's entry? ]
The player was happy for less than a second before cautiously asking the system, "Will this moral value consumption affect my subsequent activation of moral value skills?"
The system readily replied, "No, the morality points used to activate a skill are cumulative. The morality points consumed are still within the count."
"That's great!" the player's eyes lit up. Wouldn't that mean all NPC attributes could be regenerated without any hesitation? Could they possibly gain [Nocturnal], [Extraordinary Skills], or [Perpetual Motion Machine]?
Lin Chen immediately began refreshing the lazy NPC's entry. His fingers tapped rapidly in the air, and system prompts kept popping up:
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Laziness → Diligence]
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Clumsy → Dexterous]
Looking at the NPC's brand new status bar, Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction. Seeing that she still had a lot of moral points, she continued to try to brush out more practical entries:
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Diligent → Night owl]
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Clumsy → Clear-eyed and bright]
This combination is quite good! The Night Owl NPC can work at night and rest during the day, staggering the working hours of other workers. The Sharp Eyes and Sharp Mind will increase his chances of discovering rare ores.
Lin Chen refreshed the entry for the chef who started in the kitchen:
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
【Entry refresh: Chronic → Warm-hearted】
Well, I don't know what this has to do with cooking, but it looks like a good entry so I'll keep it.
The livestock farm worker spawns:
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Coward → Animal Affinity]
The animals are now producing more milk and wool!
Lin Chen continued to refresh the NPC entries with great interest. She discovered that the combination of entries would produce unexpected word reactions:
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Thin → Big Eater]
This miner is now much stronger, but he needs to eat three servings of food every day. However, considering his mining efficiency has increased by 60%, this food cost is nothing. The most important thing is that our farm can produce and sell everything it produces!
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Gossip → Photographic memory]
After being assigned to the warehouse manager, the locations of all materials are now remembered clearly, and the efficiency of retrieval has increased significantly.
【Consume 10 Moral Points】
[Entry refresh: Dumb and silent → Night owl]
This timid NPC has now become the best candidate for the night shift, and he is more efficient at work under the moonlight.
Lin Chen also produced some interesting combinations:
[Insomnia] + [Workaholism] = can work 20 hours continuously.
[Mysophobia] + [Perfectionism] = Most suitable for food processing positions.
[Talkative] + [Social Awesomeness] = Perfect Interpersonal Mediator, eh, maybe?
:
People with poor directionality often get lost on the farm.
【Gluttony】+【Food.
[Fear of heights] + [Dare to climb the ladder.
Yes, even refreshing entries may produce bad entries, and since this game is close to the world of science, there will be no counterintuitive entries such as no need to sleep, no need to eat, and no need to excrete.
But after all, you don't have to force NPCs to have children and grind for attributes, you just need to move your fingers and it's done. It's still much better than "Pokémon" and "Nezuko", so players are still very calm.
Lin Chen used up all his moral points in one breath to refresh the attributes of the NPCs, and carefully planned the positions and attribute combinations of each NPC.
Seeing the farm's overall operating efficiency increase by 45%, Lin Chen stretched with satisfaction. He wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead and thought, "I've worked so hard for myself."
But who is that NPC named Nakahara Chuuya? His attributes are all good ones like [Loyalty and Loyalty], [Warm-hearted], [Protective], [Strong Sense of Responsibility], etc.
The player flipped through it unwillingly but found nothing that could be changed.
I can't help but sigh: There are such outstanding people in this world... It's incredible.
Lin Chen sighed and closed his system panel. Maybe he would have to do some good deeds to gain some moral points next.
The system silently gives the task:
[Achieve High Morality: Your Morality is now a terrifying zero. Good news: Both Red and Green names will be wary and fearful of you. Bad news: Green names have a high chance of turning red out of fear, significantly reducing your chances of receiving quests. It's time to show your compassion and gentleness! Gain over 300 Morality points in three days. (0/300)]
Great! Let’s do the task now!
Lin Chen was about to stroll around his farm when he ran into Chu Fanan, a farmer NPC, and casually asked, "Zhongyuan Zhongye?"
The other party was stunned, his expression was three parts disbelief, three parts flattered, three parts puzzled and one part thoughtful.
NPC: "What's going on?"
Just calling out to someone is Chuuya Nakahara? Player, you are so lucky!
Lin Chen patted Zhongyuan Zhongye's shoulder with a serious face and said deeply: "You are very good."
The boy adjusting the automatic watering valve trembled, sending water splashing onto his work boots. He turned off the controller and turned around, looking up at the player chatting with him. His cobalt blue eyes blinked beneath his grass-smudged bangs. "What are you trying to tear down again?"
The player stared at Nakahara Chuuya in shock. What did he mean? Was this NPC implying to his face that the player was just messing around? This entire world belonged to the players, so what was wrong with them dismantling their own machines?!
Lin Chen tried to open the panel to see if the NPC had an entry for [Master of Yin and Yang], but was disappointed to find that the NPC's entries still looked perfect and none of them needed to be changed.
She looked at Nakahara Chuuya with resentment.
Nakahara Chuuya shuddered, his expression twisted as he said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't look at me like that...it's scary."
"Your attribute panel is the most beautiful on the entire farm." Lin Chen said quietly, pausing before adding, "Except for me, of course."
Nakahara Chuuya shook off his wet gloves and said, "Speak human language."
"It means that you are born to be an excellent employee." Lin Chen took out an apple from his four-dimensional pocket and started to eat it, then sat down on the wooden box he had just repaired.
The box creaked under the weight, and the NPC immediately reached out to steady the rickety irrigation pipe. He stared at the player and said silently, "You ruined the automatic feeder I just fixed last week."
Lin Chen was silent for a moment, then confidently refused to waste time on himself and attacked outsiders with a heavy blow, "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come."
The NPC held his forehead and pointed to the chicken coop next to him, "Go and harm the hens that are laying eggs. At least they won't explode."
The idle player decided to follow this NPC. After all, he also had the attribute of [Helping Others]. Maybe it would be easier to meet people who need help when walking on the road with him?
As the two passed by a newly cultivated carrot field, the player suddenly squatted down and poked the soil: "Do you know why the soil here is so soft?"
"Don't say you came here secretly in the middle of the night..."
"I buried three hundred jumping spring toys!"
Nakahara Chuuya suddenly stopped in his tracks, staring at the half-plastic frog head sticking out from between the ridges of the field. He desperately scratched his short orange hair, "Last month the kids said there was a monster in the field. It turned out to be you!"
Just kidding, I actually buried it when I lost the game against the system, and I only buried this one. But there's no need to tell the NPCs about this, observing the NPCs' various intelligent reactions is also a must-see part of the game!
The player raised the megaphone he had taken out of his system backpack and shouted, "Now, a lost and found notice!"
Open the system and take a look at the name
"Mr. Nakahara Chuuya's patience is lost in—"
"Stop it!" The boy rushed over with a red face and grabbed the loudspeaker.
Ah, the boy's blush was better than the best love words in the world. It was obvious that Nakahara Chuuya was a shy person and could not accept that he was famous in the farm in this way.
But we, player 180, still insisted on holding up the loudspeaker and finished shouting, and then stuffed the loudspeaker back into the system backpack.
The player stood with his hands on his hips, looking up at the NPC's head with a wicked smile: "I can't reach it, lelelele."
Nakahara Chuuya looked at the player who was laughing wildly in front of him, and his heart finally relaxed.
Forget it. Why bother arguing with her? Did she not finish her homework? Or was she not tired enough from farming? Why bother? Getting angry won't hurt her in the end, and it might even make you sick. It's not worth it.
He calmly walked past the player and continued walking forward.
A few minutes later, Nakahara Chuuya spoke: "Although you always mess around...but I still admire and appreciate you for turning this once chaotic place into a fairy tale utopia. You have completely changed my life, our life..."
He gazed at the dormitory building in the distance, where smoke curled up from cooking fires. His orange hair was gilded with gold. "Before, the children could only find toys in the garbage dump, but now they can run around with freshly picked pumpkins. It's changed in just one month. It's incredible..."
The chubby-haired boy clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. "So, can you return the tall and majestic image you once had in my mind?! Just let that poor chicken go, okay? Don't paint it all rainbow colors!?"
"Hmm?" The player who was carefully applying paint to the chicken asked a question mark.
Lin Chen asked, baffled, "Why do you think I'm less noble just because I dyed my chickens? Do you discriminate against people who dye their chickens? Or do you just dislike colorful chickens?"
"That's not the point. The point is that you've done more than just one outrageous thing!"
Players felt aggrieved and incredulous, "Is this outrageous? I just changed the appearance of the chicken."
Nakahara Chuuya discovered that the players really didn’t think there was anything wrong with doing this, and they were asking questions out of genuine feeling wronged.
This fact made him silent, and he felt sad for himself for taking everything she did seriously.
He felt relieved again. Why analyze her behavior? That was pointless, wasn't it? Everything she did was spontaneous, including turning Leibo Street into a farm. There was no purpose from beginning to end; she just did it because she wanted to...
Nakahara Chuuya, who had seen through the situation, said calmly, "It's okay. I'm sorry. Just do whatever you want."
I don't know why the NPC apologized, but who cares? If the NPC apologized, it must have done something wrong! As for the player? Haha, the player is never wrong!
Lin Chen accepted the apology from the NPC who had a good entry, and also warned him, "Don't make such a mistake again."
The NPC nodded calmly.
Well done, the player has saved another lost teenager, give yourself a thumbs up!
