Chapter 2 Thank you, Paimon!
The player poked him, and the automatically accepted side quest popped up.
An unfinished transaction
[He has a deal that he's been dreaming about, and it's only five minutes away from the scheduled time. Maybe you can help him complete it.]
[Mission Reward: Sand of Time*30, Intermediate Experience Book*3, Japanese Yen*20,000]
A faint golden dotted line appeared on the ground, pointing outside the alley.
The player took off the unconscious NPC's coat, tied him up, and dragged him deep into the alley before following the mission instructions.
Hurrying, he could run indefinitely without any stamina limit and arrived at the bottom of an abandoned building within the mission time. Two figures walked out of the darkness.
The man with long silver hair and a top hat had a very cold look in his eyes. After confirming that no one was chasing him, he turned his gaze back to the man who was not paying any attention to his own life.
Vodka, who was carrying a suitcase next to him, took two steps forward and said, "The money is here, but where are the things?"
There are only three kinds of mission items that players can obtain: Japanese yen, USB flash drive, and mobile phone.
He handed over 20,000 yen.
Vodka was incredulous: "Do you think I'm going to trade 20 million for 20,000? Are you looking for death?!"
He handed over the phone.
Vodka was furious: "Are you provoking me?! Bring me the USB drive!"
He finally took out the USB drive and handed it over.
However, what was handed to him was not a suitcase filled with money, but a bullet.
Almost at the moment the USB flash drive fell into Vodka's hands, Gin, who had long been impatient with this farce, took out a gun, aimed at the black-haired young man and shot.
No one could react and dodge this bullet in such a short time, especially a loser who traded with him based on his company information.
Gin had even started to put away his gun, as in his mind the other person was already a dead man.
The next second, he was stunned to meet the insignificant waste's extremely cold golden eyes, and saw that the other party actually pulled Vodka into the path of the bullet to block the shot.
The bullet passed through the flesh and hit the wall, making a metallic collision sound that was particularly loud in the quiet night.
Vodka, who was caught off guard and shot in the upper arm, cried out in pain and turned around to face the muzzle of the gun that his elder brother had raised again.
"Get out of the way." Gin slowly revealed a hint of interest and sneered, "It seems that I caught a little mouse."
How could an ordinary person react so quickly?
It could only be that this transaction was fraudulent.
But he was sure that there was no ambush around, so the other party came alone.
No wonder he had proposed to join the organization before. Which party sent him as an undercover agent, and who leaked the information related to this mission?
Players don’t know why an ordinary side quest would develop into a fight with NPCs. Maybe this is the feature of this homemade version.
In fact, judging from his extremely thin health bar and the first-level character panel without even a weapon, he could only be killed by this NPC who was obviously an elite monster.
But this is not a turn-based game.
And his skills were quite good, so good that he dodged all the bullets from the white-haired NPC with his conditional reflexes and even launched an attack.
Unlike the previous passerby NPC, this white-haired NPC is too tough, has a very high defense, and has very good fighting skills. He cannot be knocked unconscious at all, and his weak point attacks are also blocked.
The damage numbers keep popping up: 1, 2, 1, 1...
I scraped for three minutes but didn't even get a speck of blood.
The strong NPC next to you is coming up to help.
The task is not yet complete.
But players have tested that even if he has a health bar but no stamina bar, he will not feel tired due to physical movement.
In other words, he is always at full status until he is killed.
Isn't it just scraping two monsters together? It's not a big problem.
Players are not afraid at all.
Half an hour later.
Vodka withdrew from the battlefield with hatred, and there was a little fear in his eyes when he looked at the young man.
It is the fear of something that is totally beyond your comprehension.
Obviously the young man couldn't cause much damage to them, but he was always able to accurately block all attacks and counterattack. Even when he and the eldest brother were fighting two against one, he didn't let the opponent show any flaws.
This stalemate lasted for half an hour like a repetitive scene in Carton. The eldest brother could still continue calmly and rationally like a robot, but Vodka couldn't hold on any longer and even his mentality collapsed.
...Is there still a human on the other side? !
Gin didn't want to waste time on this anymore. There was no point in continuing to dwell on it. More importantly, he found that his guess was wrong.
He stepped back, temporarily stopping the fight, picked up the suitcase of money on the ground and threw it at the player, "You are not that piece of trash."
The player caught the suitcase, but it still didn't show that the mission was completed. He opened it while being on guard against Gin, but it was empty.
...Are NPCs nowadays so cunning? !
No wonder the rewards for the mission of delivering something are so high, it turns out it’s all a scam!
"You pretended to be him for money and learned things you shouldn't know. Now I give you two choices." Gin said, "One, I kill you. Two, you kill him, and I'll give you 20 million and the opportunity to join the organization."
The organization is full of garbage. Let's take the people back first. If they are found to have no problems after investigation, it can be considered as a new blood.
The players are innocent.
"You can't kill me, and the mission hasn't changed."
Even though this white-haired NPC said a lot, the content of the mission has not changed.
Gin's face darkened, he took out a card, threw it over, and told out the password.
Under the gaze of a white-haired monster that was not cute at all and looked like it wanted to eat people, the player finally completed this mission that had a completely unreasonable difficulty at the beginning.

I thought I was completing a side quest, but ended up completing the entire beginner guidance quest.
etc.
The white-haired man appears at the beginning, guiding players to familiarize themselves with the game mechanics and enable functions...
Players feel like they understand everything.
He put the card into his backpack, fed all the experience books, raised his level to level nine, and then enthusiastically went up to Gin and shook his hand.
"Thank you, Paimon!"
"So when will the pistols be issued?"
He desperately needs a weapon!
Can I get five-star weapons for free?
