Chapter 642 The greedy boatman
On the surface, this thatched hut is very simple, the same as most of the buildings in the 'tribe', but when Zhang Mu walked in, he found that there was actually another universe in the small thatched hut.
"Wow, is this a palace?"
Zhang Mu looked around and was shocked by the scene in the thatched hut for a long time.
Gold and silver fall all over the ground, and the ceiling and walls are all made of gold. Boxes of treasures are scattered around the hut. Except for those shiny gold coins and treasures, there is nothing else.
In front of Jinshan Yinshan, there is a young man wearing a golden velvet and a laurel crown, with an aristocratic temperament. Anyway, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles.
The system named him 'greedy boatman Awen'.
When the boatman Awen saw Zhang Mu coming in, he just said softly and asked bluntly, "Are you going to Peacock Island?"
"Yes, I'm going to Peacock Island. Excuse me, where is the ferry?"
The boatman Awen smiled and said, "It's easy to go to Peacock Island. As long as you give me 2, 4, 6 and 8 gold coins, I will take you across the river immediately."
"What do you mean? 2 gold coins, 4 gold coins, 6 gold coins, 8 gold coins?"
"Wrong! It's 200,000 gold coins, 400,000 gold coins, 600,000 gold coins, 800,000 gold coins... The total adds up to 2 million gold coins. The boatman Awen waved his left hand full of gold rings to Zhang Mu.
Zhang Mu was stunned when he heard it.
What is the situation of this NPC? Did the poor man be reincarnated in his last life? It costs 2 million gold coins when you open your mouth! If there is no adventure, it will take at least half a month to accumulate 2 million gold coins on the 9th-level map! Not to mention those players who live a 'painful' life on the 8th or even 7th level maps.
"What, no money?" The boatman Awen scattered the smile on his face and hummed, "Don't go to Peacock Island if you don't have money!" Whether to give it or not, it's up to you!" The arrogant tone made Zhang Mu have the impulse to take him out of the screen and beat him violently.
Zhang Mu opened the town information with a green face. After these days of accumulation, there are still more than 7 million gold coins in the town. It's not that they can't afford this high river crossing fee, but this money was originally intended to be used to upgrade the level 3 'Yunzhong City'... The higher the level of the barracks in the town, the more arms will be produced every day. Of course, the gold coins and resources required for upgrading will also increase greatly with the level.
Zhang Mu hesitated for a moment. Instead of choosing to give money to cross the river immediately, he turned out of the 'thatched hut'. After coming to the lake, he began to use the 'ship recruitment technique' crazily. Unfortunately, contrary to his wishes. Zhang Mu summoned for 10 minutes without even seducing a boat.
Seeing that Peacock Island is in front of you, you can't just give up like this, can you?
Zhang Mu gritted his teeth, turned back to the thatched hut, and said fiercely, "Damn programmer! I will be charged 2 million yuan for crossing a small lake... It's too dark! How long do I have to save!"
The boatman Awen smiled and said, "How's it going? Have you thought it over?"
"Here you are! 2 million!"
After choosing the 'pay' option, a lot of gold coins were scattered at the feet of the boatman Awen. The obscene and greedy boatman bent down to pick up the gold coins with a smile on his face. At the same time, he said, "Wait for me outside. In five minutes, I'll take you across the river!"
Standing bored by the lake and waiting for 5 minutes, the boatman Awen really appeared. With him was the golden boat behind him. The whole boat was made of pure gold, which was also inlaid with countless gemstones the size of various fists, a gorgeous mess.
"Come up!" The boatman Awen waved his hand to Zhang Mu. When Zhang Mu stepped on the golden boat, he found that the boat was still full of gold coins, but these gold coins were just decorations for him and could not be picked up.
The waveless lake surface of the ancient well was swayed with golden pulp. The green mountains and green water shone high tomorrow. Looking at the wonderful scenery nearby, Zhang Mu's previous resentment also dissipated with the wind.
As soon as the golden boat drove to the middle of the lake, there was a loud noise in the distance. Zhang Mu was shocked and turned his head. His frightened face turned white. Hundreds of meters away, a surging huge wave swept over. The huge wave was 20 meters high, and it looked like a monster was opening its mouth to him.
"Wow! Wow! Wow, wow! How can it be a 'wave in the lake'! My boat can't stand such a big wave!" The boatman Awen looked pale and screamed. At the same time, he accelerated the speed of the paddle, and the golden boat immediately flew forward.
The boat is getting closer and closer to Peacock Island, and the waves in the lake are about to rush over.
'Poo!'' Plop!'
More than ten seconds later, according to the system's judgment, Zhang Mu knew that he had been washed up the peacock island by the water at the last moment. Looking back, the lake returned to calm again, as if nothing had happened, while the boatman Awen and his golden boat disappeared.
Just as Zhang Mu turned around and was about to leave, the boatman Awen's call for help suddenly came behind him. At the same time, a dialog box popped up on the screen.
The boatman Awen fell into the water, did he help?
1, ignore it! Let this greedy guy die!
2, help him!
"Is there a hidden task?" Zhang Mu was overjoyed and immediately chose the second item. Helping others is the foundation of happiness.
What disappointed Zhang Mu was that after fishing the boatman Awen out of the lake, he did not get any hidden rewards or benefits.
"Wow...wow...wow...thank you, thank you!" The boatman Awen knelt down by the lake out of breath.
"It's just a piece of effort. You don't have to thank me." After patting off the dialog box, Zhang Mu was just about to leave when he heard the boatman Awen scream, "Ah! Not good! My golden boat! And my gold coins! They all fell into the lake!" After saying that, the boatman Awen turned around and plunged into the lake.
"Damn it! What's going on!" Zhang Mu laughed dumbly. In order to be greedy for a little money, this NPC didn't even want his life?
"Quick, give me a hand!" The boatman Awen dragged the heavy golden boat to the shore. Zhang Mu walked back and forth, and the system prompted: "The golden boat is too heavy! Forced rescue will lead to the loss of troops!"
1, rescue!
2, give up!
"The first item! Rescue!" ! Zhang Mu was determined to see what the benefits of this hidden task was. He stuffed all the blazing angels into military tents. After mobiling out a large number of cannon fodder arms, he began to rescue the boatman Awen. In a few minutes, the cannon fodder in the army column died. In systematic words, it was called 'drowning'.
Just as the cannon fodder arms led by Zhang Mu kept dying, making him at a loss, the boatman Awen himself gave up the golden boat first, landed again, and gasped and said, "Damn it!"
