Chapter 4 strategy failed
Osama quietly got into the car, and Dali gently closed the door. He then moved to the front and sat down beside the driver.
Ah? Dali's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, creating an incredibly awkward moment. The mayor's daughter was undoubtedly the center of attention at the ball, and this embarrassing scene was witnessed by countless onlookers. Even though the elven race is known for its elegance and etiquette, it was impossible to prevent faint whispers of laughter from spreading through the crowd
Osama smiled and said, "Young people, of course, have their own ways of having fun. Go on, go on."
Indeed, this item is meant for showiness, but Dali would never disclose that to them, merely responding: "My wife likes it, I have to buy it, I have no choice"
With a neigh, a silver-white unicorn pulled a beautifully carved sandalwood carriage, fragrant and swirling, and came to a steady stop in front of the two people
Then he dressed up flamboyantly and came out. Now Dali's wallet is completely empty, a typical case of showing off while being broke
Dali immediately expressed his gratitude: "Thank you for your esteemed favor, I am deeply honored!"
Amidst the crowd, faint whispers of laughter arose once more. Dali's anxious gaze clearly caught sight of them seemingly discussing her. What is wrong with me? Osama, the clerks find me quite agreeable, far more so than any of the alternate accounts from my previous life. Could it be my attire? ... No, it can't be ...
The Glory of Sainayan Town: Players wearing this medal will increase their reputation in Sainayan Town by completing tasks and defeating monsters. This is a bound item, non-tradable, and cannot be dropped
At the earliest opportunity, he rushed to the grocery store and sold everything he could, including the short sword, leather armor, wooden shield, and red and blue potions given by the system at birth, earning over 50 copper coins. He then went to the town's barbershop and spent a hefty sum of 10 silver coins to get a gentleman's hairstyle, which made him quite eye-catching as he walked down the street. Amidst the astonished gazes of other players, he entered a clothing store and spent 50 silver coins to purchase a set of men's formal attire. With some money left, he haggled relentlessly with the shop owner, who, eager to close for the day, had no choice but to relent, ultimately allowing him to buy the cheapest bow tie.
Hehe, the reputation has been activated
The clerk nodded in satisfaction, took out a bronze medal from his pocket, and personally pinned it on Dali's chest, encouraging him: "From now on, you are an honorary citizen of Sainayan Town. You must contribute to the prosperity and development of our town."
Ha ha, here it comes, what is all the hard work in the task flow for, if not for this honor of being a town citizen
The town clerk toasted and exchanged pleasantries with each guest in turn. When it came to Osama, he naturally noticed the strong man behind him and exclaimed, "Oh? Mr. Osama's eye for people has always been as sharp and discerning as his eye for identifying jewels. This individual who serves as Mr. Osama's attendant must surely be extraordinary, right?"
The boss said that preparations must be made, which means they are essential. In the task flow, every word spoken by the NPC must be regarded with the same level of importance as a BOSS's ultimate skill.
In no time, the carriage arrived at a small manor, where guards were stationed both inside and outside, ensuring tight security. However, this did not dampen the guests' spirits; rather, it is only when one feels secure that one can enjoy oneself even more, is it not
What is the use of reputation? What can the reputation of a novice town do? Hehe, you probably don't know, right? Surely you don't know? You will know in the future! Hahaha, Dali has once again secretly enjoyed closing the player level leaderboard.
As another dance concluded, the young ladies on the stage appeared to be tired and were no longer eager to dance. Instead, they gathered together to drink and chat, while the musicians thoughtfully played soothing and relaxing melodies.
Indeed, the clerk's eyes lit up as he joyfully said, "Oh? With such outstanding young people, you must definitely introduce me to them!"
Who? Dali hurriedly looked up, stunned
Such a conspicuous situation is not ideal, as it is inevitable to be disturbed by other troublesome players while completing tasks. As a professional booster, one must remain vigilant. Dali waited in a secluded corner near the jewelry store until nearly 7 o'clock, and as soon as the time arrived, he appeared promptly in front of the jewelry store's closing door to wait for the owner
Dali responded: "Thank you for the compliment, Boss. Please rest assured!"
The clerk said: "I will go attend to other guests, enjoy yourselves."
This break will delay the progress of a dance piece. The already troubled Dali is anxious and restless. If a wealthy woman cannot be secured tonight, then it will have to wait until next week's dance party. Delaying an entire week? What a joke! The quest line only allows for success, not failure. Relying on monster hunting to level up? A paladin hunting monsters? What nonsense! ... What a pity ...? ... Is there an error in the strategy? What a joke, the quest line only allows for success, not failure. Relying on monster hunting to level up? A paladin hunting monsters? What nonsense! ... What a pity ...? ... Is there an error in the strategy? Impossible! This is a professional gaming strategy; how could it be wrong?
The players fell silent.
Dali sat quietly in a prominent position in the garden ballroom, appearing as if he were a delicate flower waiting to be picked. The strategies from his previous life taught players that there was an 80% chance of failure when taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with the ladies. It is important to note that all the women present were the daughters of the town's elite; how could a mere player, a commoner, dare to be disrespectful?
The attendees, whether officials or nobles, are indeed prominent figures in the town, toasting each other and seeking partners for dance. Meanwhile, Dali obediently follows his boss, keeping his eyes straight ahead and not straying a step. In the manor, various jewels, silver platters, and gold artifacts are everywhere, and the doors to numerous rooms, whose purposes are unclear, stand wide open. These are all temptations, mere illusions. How many players in their past lives have reached this point only to fail at the last moment and ruin their futures!
Dali felt a mix of emotions internally but pretended to be shy on the surface: "Boss, um, I will take my leave now."
As the two approached within three steps, the young woman wrinkled her nose, then appeared to suddenly understand, waved her hand dismissively at Dali, and turned to leave
Dali immediately trotted over, pulled open the car door, and called out: "Boss, please get in the car!"
Ossama turned around and smiled at Dali, saying: "Come and meet the esteemed clerk."
At that moment, a mocking voice sounded: "Oh, it really is you?"
Osama smiled and said, "Indeed, the younger generation is formidable and extraordinary. Thanks to him, our small shop has exceeded its procurement targets this year." He then raised his left hand and made a strange gesture. As a traveler, Dali certainly understood this gesture; the clerk had shares in the jewelry store. After completing two rounds of enormous tasks, they would surely be profiting immensely.
Dali immediately stepped forward to bow: "I am Dali, and it is a great honor for me to meet you, my lord."
What is going on? Dali is completely out of it. Am I just unlucky? That doesn't make sense. I have leveled up at least 20 small accounts for training; it is impossible that no wealthy women have come to seek me out.
Are we in such harmony? Osama, finding Dali increasingly pleasing to the eye, smiled and said: "You don't have to follow this old man anymore; go find some girls to have fun with."
With a creak, the door swung open, and the boss emerged, dressed in splendid attire that exuded an air of nobility. His outfit alone was worth at least a hundred gold coins, complemented by various rings, ornaments, and a cane that underscored his status as a jewelry store owner, amounting to no less than a thousand gold coins. In comparison, Dali's attire, worth only a few dozen silver coins, seemed almost like that of a beggar.
It's alright, it's alright, continue to wait, there is still enough time. Dali sat in the chair, somewhat dejected, deeply pondering the various strategies from hetushucom.com in his past life, wondering where the problem lay
Is it over? What should I do? Dali is completely lost; I must say, having lost the advantage of being a time traveler, any unexpected situation reveals Dali's novice nature. Deep down, Dali is already prepared to delete the account and start over.
Did you see it? Did you see it? You all didn't know, did you? Now you understand the purpose of the gown, right? This is the power of the time traveler! Hahaha, Dali felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction within.
"Yes, very good, extremely courteous!" Osama nodded in satisfaction once again inside the carriage
That being said, if it really drags on for a week, what advantages does the quest flow have? It would be better to go monster hunting, as that can also increase skill proficiency. Therefore, in the quest flow, success is the only option, and failure is not permitted! For this reason, Dali is determined to spend all his wealth on purchasing a dress without any hesitation. Thus, the short bow rewarded by Aoqili mentioned earlier must be sold; otherwise, there won't be enough money. Buying a shirt without a tie ultimately amounts to nothing.
In the midst of wandering, the dance music began to play, and the ball continued, yet not a single girl looked at Dali again
It is important to understand that attendants, especially male attendants, are not qualified to sit in the same carriage as their master. If a player, unaware of this, mistakenly enters the carriage, although Osama may refrain from expressing his displeasure out of courtesy, the subsequent storyline's score is likely to be adversely affected
As the dance concluded, she finished her performance, still yearning for more. She surveyed the entire venue and her gaze fell upon me, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new toy. Our eyes met!
The clerk smiled and said, "Very well, very well. To be recognized by Mr. Osama proves that you are an exceptionally talented individual. I am also generous in recognizing outstanding talents. May I ask if you are interested in becoming an honorary citizen of our town?"
"Hey, brother and book, are you too rich? What’s the use of buying this dress?" Several passing players couldn't help but ask. This kind of dress, aside from its unique style, has no attributes at all. What other purpose could it serve besides being a show-off for the wealthy?
Ossama and Dali hurriedly stepped aside to make way, saying in unison: "My lord, please—"
Osama squinted his eyes and scrutinized Dali for a long time, then nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, as a retainer, your attire is quite appropriate. Once we enter, you must pay even more attention to your demeanor and not act recklessly"
Dali stood up excitedly, and the two approached each other with smiles, taking five steps, then four steps, then three steps. Dali took the initiative to extend his hand in invitation, but suddenly, the young lady stopped, her smile faltering and her nose wrinkling. That expression was truly adorable! She then decisively turned around and walked into the embrace of another handsome elf.
Dali Xidao: "Always remember the teachings of your elders"
Dali gazed intently at the mayor's daughter who was dancing, as she had a 30% chance of actively inviting players to dance, having grown weary of dancing with the sons of prominent families and seeking novelty.
If players fail to grasp the meaning of "to prepare for the upcoming event," or are reluctant to spend money, or simply do not have any money, then they will be in trouble. The boss will become furious: "What do you think this gathering is? With your attitude, how can I let you in? Please leave, and make sure to pay attention next time!" Next time? When is that? If the favorability can be maintained, it will be a week later; if the favorability drops drastically, then it becomes very uncertain.
How could this happen? The strategy from my previous life did not account for this situation. Dali was bewildered, but it was fine, it was fine; there was still plenty of time, and there were several other wealthy women who were also good candidates.
Once the dance concluded, Dali anxiously scanned the young women in the dance hall. Oh? She noticed me! It is the daughter of the town's guard commander! Hahaha, that is quite impressive.
