Ascension To Divine Throne

Chapter 144 -144: This is Definitely an Advanced NPC!

Chapter 144: This is Definitely an Advanced NPC!

Nathan Titan felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see a handsome young man smiling at him.

At first glance, Nathan recognized that this wasn’t just any ordinary person; this wasn’t a player.

Whether you were rich or poor, when you first entered the game, you started with a blank slate, wearing the most ordinary clothes possible. But compared to this person’s magnificent black suit, Nathan’s outfit looked like nothing special.

Moreover, the person held a shimmering emerald staff in his hand, and various ornaments on his body emitted a special glow.

Was this the magical equipment in the game? It seemed like Nathan had encountered a big shot.

Feeling a bit surprised, Nathan cautiously said, “May I help you with something?”

“I see many of you coming to apply for positions at my chamber of commerce, so I came over to ask,” William Cain said with a smile, giving off a friendly vibe.

Nathan felt a sense of respect. This was something he had learned from the player forum. Gaming experts speculated that since the official “God’s Apocalypse” game stated that storyline NPCs and natives were intelligent programs, not all conversations would be pre-set. It was best to be polite when interacting with NPCs.

Nathan casually used the skill “Character Detection” to check the information of the NPC in front of him. This was a skill that every character came with when the game opened.

However, it could only be used for one month, and afterward, if you wanted to continue using it, you had to purchase the right to use it again in the game store.

[You have used the skill “Character Detection,” gathering information.]

[Based on your level, you obtained the following information:]

—

Nathan gasped in shock. What an exaggeration!

On his way here, he had also tried using the “Character Detection” skill, but everyone he encountered was around level 10, and their occupations were all commoners.

So many question marks! This guy was definitely a big shot!

Especially when Nathan saw the glaring “Jack of All Trades (Legendary-level Talent)” in the information, he knew for sure that he had stumbled upon a big shot!

Quickly adjusting his mindset, Nathan put on the same attitude he would have when dealing with important clients at the accounting firm and smiled back, saying, “This gentleman, I’ve come from outside Canlight City and would like to find a job here. I hope you can give us a chance!”

The person called William Cain looked at Nathan’s obsequious demeanor, suppressed a smile, and said in a manner befitting a big shot, “Hmm, not bad. Since that’s the case, could you do me a favor and buy me a bottle of fruit tea?”

Before Nathan could react, a new prompt appeared in the system.

—

[Bronze-level Quest: Purchase Fruit Tea]

[Quest Requirement: William Cain is a bit thirsty and would like you to buy him a bottle of fruit tea!]

[Quest Reward: 1000 experience points, 1 gold coin]

—

He had just received a quest! He really was an advanced NPC!

Nathan was overjoyed. After bidding farewell, he eagerly headed towards the fruit tea stall to fulfill the task.

Every player starts the game with an initial deposit of 10 copper coins. Nathan Titan remembered that there was a small stall selling fruit tea nearby when he walked over. A cup of fruit tea seemed to cost only 3 copper coins.

What a profitable deal!

Seeing Nathan Titan happily walking away, William Cain nodded and looked at the panel in front of him.

The “Quest Publishing” module already showed that the task he had just released had been accepted by a player.

Publishing tasks was quite convenient, but he needed to adjust the experience and monetary rewards carefully. He wanted to attract players while allocating the experience quota as effectively as possible.

It would be best to focus on gold coin rewards for now. After all, William was currently wealthy, and he had a whole bunch of plans to “earn back” the gold coins that he handed out to players.

Standing at the entrance of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, William noticed that some players had already started paying attention to this impressive NPC, but they didn’t pay too much attention. After all, the most important thing for them right now was to pass the recruitment test at the White Dove Chamber of Commerce.

Soon, William saw Nathan Titan cautiously approaching, holding a cup of fruit tea.

“Here’s the fruit tea you wanted!”

Carefully handing over the fruit tea to William, Nathan Titan breathed a sigh of relief.

“It tastes good. Thank you for your trouble,” William said with a smile, and Nathan Titan noticed that the system quest had already been marked as completed.

With the experience and gold coin rewards in hand, Nathan Titan immediately invested the experience points into leveling up. A dazzling golden light shone as his level increased to level 2.

In the early stages, before officially becoming a professional, every level for a commoner only required 1000 experience points, but the attributes gained were quite minimal. After becoming a professional, all experience and attribute points would be reset.

“I’m William Cain. Work hard, we really need talents like you at the White Dove Chamber of Commerce!” William smiled and said to Nathan Titan, casually sending him a recruitment invitation.

—

[William Cain thinks highly of you and invites you to join the White Dove Chamber of Commerce!]

[Yes/No]

—

Of course, Nathan Titan agreed without hesitation!

Nathan Titan didn’t expect to be so lucky to be noticed by this advanced NPC named William Cain.

After choosing to agree, Nathan Titan found the words “White Dove Chamber of Commerce: Intermediate Member” on the panel. Before he could even ask, he was surrounded by a group of players.

“Bro, did you just level up? So fast!”

“Yeah, do you have any tips to share?”

“Is it because of this NPC?”

The players around noticed Nathan Titan’s golden light indicating level up, which the natives couldn’t see. At the same time, they cast their gaze towards William Cain, speculating that he might be some important storyline character after seeing his panel.

This was definitely an advanced NPC!

Nathan Titan was overwhelmed by the noise and had to explain what had just happened. After telling the story, the group of players immediately crowded around William Cain.

“Boss, do you need any services?”

“Lord Cain, I’m adept at playing instruments and singing. You can count on me for errands!”

“Hey handsome, need a bedwarmer? I’m soft-spoken and easy to push down!”

William glanced at the last person who spoke and immediately adjusted his favorability rating to negative ten.

Ignoring the noisy voices of the players, William smiled and said, “There’s nothing trivial now, but since you’re members of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, I do have a little trouble that you could help me with.”
