He had encountered such situations in other games before.
However, he was one of them at that time.
None of the NPCs who issued missions were easy to deal with.
But now, in this situation…
Heh! The scarecrow seemed to be quite easy to provoke!
In his stunned state, he could not retaliate when attacked!
Mo Fan took a look. He only had 1327 gold coins on him.
Even if he were to issue missions, he could only issue about a hundred missions.
If there was no mission reward, who would accept the mission?
He could not possibly owe them first, right?
Owe?
Mo Fan had a flash of inspiration.
Yes, he could send out the mission first. When they complete it, he would not give the mission reward.
He was excited just thinking about it.
If he could get free service from them, then so be it. If they did not accept it, that was fine too!
Mo Fan did it as soon as he thought of it and immediately changed the setting of the mission.
The former setting of the system automatically sending out the mission reward was changed to manual.
Then, he adjusted the number of “Dispelling Mushroom Poison” missions to 3000.
…
These noisy players suddenly realized that they could accept green missions!
Everyone instantly became excited.
“This stupid NPC, why didn’t he say anything?!”
“Exactly! Must he force us to resort to brute force…”
“He’s probably asking for a scolding?”
“Once we scolded him enough, he gave us the missions?”
“Hahaha!”
Mo Fan stared coldly at these people and sneered in his heart.
If you guys completed the mission and actually get a reward from me, I will live-stream myself eating sh*t!
The players surrounding Mo Fan immediately dispersed after receiving the mission.
The green mission reward was much higher than the white mission reward.
No one wanted to waste time here.
After seeing the players leave, Mo Fan heaved a sigh of relief.
The tense situation was finally resolved by him.
However, at this moment, the two players who had left suddenly returned to Mo Fan’s side.
“Are you sure this Scarecrow NPC has a purple mission, Chang?”
“Rookie, are you stupid? It is obvious! At first, it was gray, then white, now green, wouldn’t it be purple next?”
“But there’s no purple mission listed on its dialog panel right now.”
“Isn’t that simple? Earlier, after everyone threatened it, it issued green missions. If we also do that, then—hehe!”
Chang stared at Mo Fan and smiled sinisterly.
Mo Fan finally understood what these two were here for.
What the f*ck, you want to threaten me into giving out purple missions?
You want me to give it to you just like that?
Get lost!
It seemed like there were some players who were smarter.
But they were really greedy!
“Hey, Strawly, you must have heard what I said. Hurry up and give each of us a purple mission!”
“Exactly! Otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”
Chang and Rookie shouted at Mo Fan.
As they spoke, the two of them took out their weapons and pointed them at Mo Fan. It was as if they would attack him at any moment.
Mo Fan was a little speechless. How did he meet these two idiots?
He wanted to see what would happen if he was attacked by these two idiots.
Hence, Mo Fan decided to remain indifferent to the two idiots’ performance.
Chang and Rookie threatened him a few more times.
Seeing how Mo Fan ignored them, their expressions changed.
“We’re only after money and not lust. Is it so difficult to get a mission?”
“That’s right. It is just a mission, why aren’t you giving it to us?”
Chang frowned and stabbed Mo Fan with his weapon.
Rookie followed behind him and started attacking Mo Fan.
-3923
-2212
Two red numbers appeared above Mo Fan’s head.
Immediately afterwards, green damage numbers appeared above the heads of Chang and Rookie.
-5000 (Mushroom Poison Damage)
-5000 (Mushroom Poison Damage)
-5000 (Mushroom Poison Damage)
When they saw the poison damage on their heads, Chang and Rookie were dumbfounded!
They never expected that attacking Mo Fan would result in such an outcome.
“Holy cow, this… this scarecrow is… so poisonous!”
As soon as his words fell, both of them were poisoned to death by the mushroom poison!
Looking at the two people on the ground, Mo Fan laughed out loud.
However, when the laughter reached his mouth—it turned into an ‘mm’ sound.
Mo Fan was worried that these two idiots would actually be able to kill him.
But who knew that when they were attacking Mo Fan, the latter would receive a system notification?
[System Notification: You have received an attack from Player Handsome Chang. Mushroom poison was forcibly transferred out of your body. Stun duration reduced by 5000 seconds!]
[System Notification: You have received an attack from Player Frozen Chicken Rookie. Mushroom poison was forcibly transferred out of your body. Stun duration reduced by 5000 seconds!]
Mo Fan did not expect this outcome either.
If players could reduce the stun duration when attacking him.
Then as long as he could withstand their attacks, it would be great to reduce the stun duration fast.
But this was a dangerous method.
It was still safer to wait for these players to complete his issued missions.
There were a lot of players in the area when Handsome Chang and Frozen Chicken Rookie decided to attack Mo Fan. When they saw how they ended up, the other players that had the same thoughts as them immediately extinguished the idea of provoking Mo Fan.
They obediently came over to hand in their missions and accepted another one.
No player dared to act rashly in front of Mo Fan anymore!
After all, those two idiots who were poisoned to death served as sufficient examples for them to know just how powerful this scarecrow was!
“Indeed, none of the NPCs who could issue missions are easy to deal with!”
“I’m glad we have those two chaps who tested it for us.”
“Don’t think too much about it. Hurry up and farm this mission!”
Hearing the players’ discussion, Mo Fan was relieved.
It was fine as long as they did not have any ill intentions against him.
At the moment, the most important thing was the green mission’s item.
The little girl who picked mushrooms previously said that mushroom monsters were very difficult to encounter. He did not know if these players could do it or not. How long would it take for them to complete a mission?
…
Mo Fan had thought that he would have to wait for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after just an hour, players came to hand in their missions. This player was not the first to accept the quest—Chasing Soul—but a player called Fallen Goose Returning to Mountain.
After Fallen Goose Returning to Mountain handed him the mission item, Mo Fan did not immediately give him the mission reward.
He could not wait to check the item.
[Antidote Mushroom Powder (Special)]
[Scarecrow Strawly’s exclusive mission item]
[The essence of the mushroom monster, it can completely remove the mushroom poison.]
After seeing the description of this mission item, Mo Fan immediately used it.
His stun duration of more than 8 billion seconds fell at a speed of tens of millions per second.
It would probably take a minute or two for it to completely clear up.
He was about to obtain his freedom once again.
“Hey, where’s my mission reward?”
At this moment, Fallen Goose Returning to Mountain, who had just handed in his mission, shouted at Mo Fan.
Looking at the Fallen Goose Returning to Mountain, Mo Fan gave him the mission reward.
This fellow helped him out after all.
As for the others who wanted his reward—they were different!
To get rid of the stun duration, he had issued so many missions and lost a lot of money and Spiritual Energy.
Yet, they still want a mission reward?
They will never get a single cent from me!
Fallen Goose Returning to Mountain revealed a happy expression after receiving the mission reward.
Then, he wanted to accept another mission but realized that he could no longer accept a mission.
The other players who heard the news and wanted to accept a mission also realized that they could not accept it anymore.
“Eh, what’s going on? No more missions left?”
“I don’t know. It was okay before.”
“Was he squeezed dry by the previous batch of players?”
Hearing this player’s words, Mo Fan secretly swallowed a mouthful of blood.
You are the one who has been squeezed dry!
I am still full of vitality!
If not for the fact that the cooldown duration was not up yet, all of you would be corpses by now!
…
Mo Fan looked at the rapidly decreasing stun duration.
He could not help but feel extremely excited.
Haha!
I’m finally going to be free!
Two minutes wasn’t that long but Mo Fan felt like it was an eternity—especially in the last few seconds.
When the number became 0, Mo Fan could finally move once more!
The other players were shocked when they saw the scarecrow moving.
“What the heck?”
“Why is this scarecrow moving?”
“Not only is he moving, but he seems to be leaving!”
Mo Fan did not care what these players thought.
After he regained his mobility, he prepared to leave.
“Hey, don’t go! If you leave, how will my brother complete the mission?”
A player immediately ran over and asked Mo Fan.
“Since he’s your brother, why are you asking me? You can go play and with him if you want!”
Mo Fan shook his head and left.
That player was stunned by Mo Fan’s reply: What? What did he mean by play?
After Mo Fan left, his back view could be seen for a long time—especially his 15-meter long name. It was simply too long!
Everyone looked at Mo Fan’s departing figure and felt indignant.
However, no one dared to come and find trouble with Mo Fan.
After all, he had just killed the two idiots. His deterrence was still present in their hearts.
…
An hour after Mo Fan left, many players ran over to turn in their mission requirements.
But they realized that the scarecrow had disappeared.
Their mission list showed that they had completed the mission, but they could not submit it.
“What’s going on? Can’t find the NPC after completing the mission?”
“Could it be that this Strawly deliberately set us up?”
“That’s right! I’m still about to hand over the mission requirements to him. Why did he leave?”
“Did any of you see where he went?”
“Strawly moved too fast. We lost him already. No one knows where he is now.”
As for Mo Fan, he directly deleted the mission of “Dispelling Mushroom Poison”.
As soon as he deleted the mission, the players who accepted the mission all showed that they failed to complete it!
This immediately caused displeasure among many players.
“F*ck, what the heck! Why did the mission fail?”
“My mission failed too!”
“What’s going on? How did this happen?”
“Hurry up and ask on the forum!”
After Mo Fan deleted the mission, he looked at the series of notifications that appeared and was instantly dumbfounded!
[System Notification: Due to the abnormal deletion of the mission you issued, 10 Player Reputation Points have been deducted!]
[…10 Player Reputation Points have been deducted!]
[…10 Player Reputation Points have been deducted!]
…
What did it mean by abnormally deleted?
He just did not want these players to hand over their missions. That’s all!
That’s all!
This trash game actually punished him by deducting his Reputation Points?
Mo Fan was upset.
He had issued 2384 missions.
One was already completed, thus there were only 2383 missions left.
After deleting these missions, Mo Fan lost 23,830 Player Reputation Points at once.
After buying Dog Yaksha’s skin, his Player Reputation Points hovered at around 632.
But now…
[Player Reputation: -23,198]
