Chapter 173 The Murderer in Dongman City

Qi Ming nodded and said, "How about this, you exempt me from the Baron mission, and I will help you to deal with them!"

"No, one thing is one thing, and they cannot be mixed up. You have completed the mission, and there will naturally be other rewards." East refused.

Damn!

Qi Ming cursed in his heart. I didn't see you being so principled when you cheated me of military merit before!

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped again.

"Sir Baron, you have said what you want to say, but I haven't said what I want to say yet."

"Ah? Is there anything else?"

"The elves' envoys are coming soon..."

"Also, it seems that something big has happened to the Undead."

"Uh..." Qi Ming looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

"Sir Baron, don't leave Dongman City today. When the elves' envoys come, you may need to come forward and explain some things clearly."

"Well... okay."

Qi Ming shook his head helplessly.

…

In Dongman City, Qi Ming was thinking about how to complete the two tasks assigned to him by East.

There was no clue about the secret commission for the time being, so let's improve the favorability of NPCs first!

In his previous life, he knew a lot of small tasks of various kinds.

Most of the rewards were relatively ordinary, and the process was very cumbersome and took a long time.

Among them, there were several very famous ones, such as "Crazy Old Lady", "Crazy Dog Young Man", "Beggar Emperor", etc.

These were considered to have considerable rewards.

However, there was no rush to do the task, because he had already decided on the first person to improve the favorability, Vivian.

Originally, her favorability reached 90 points after resurrecting Martins, and the remaining 10 points should be relatively easy.

Soon, he found the other party in the residential area in the city.

"Mr. Baron? Are Martins and you back?" Vivian asked with a little excitement.

"Back."

Qi Ming smiled slightly and summoned the cool and handsome guy.

"Martins, no matter what method you use, raise her favorability to 100 points as soon as possible!"

"This... Master, I can't do it."

"You have to learn it even if you can't! This is your woman, you must have a way!"

Martins showed a helpless look and said, "I'll give it a try."

Then, this pair of alternative lovers showed their love next to Qi Ming, the big light bulb.

Of course, it was mainly Vivian. Martins was like an ice lump, standing there and doing nothing.

Not long after, Vivian asked: "Mr. Baron, can you please keep Martins in the city for a while? I want to stay with him for a while."

"Of course, you can have fun."

"Thank you!"

"Vivian's favorability has been raised to 100 points."

"Ding..."

"The Imperial Baron mission in Dongmanling has been updated, and the current progress is: 2/10."

Hearing this, Qi Ming smiled with satisfaction, there are still eight left!

At the same time, Vivian whispered, "Mr. Baron, I have something else to ask you."

"Okay, what is it?"

"Before, Martins went deep into the Land of Death for me, which led to... I feel very sorry for him. Can you find time to secretly ask him what he likes most now? I want to make it up to him and give him a surprise."

"Ding..."

"You can choose to accept the hidden task: Vivian's thoughts."

"Task requirements: Please find out what Martins likes."

"No problem, leave it to me! But now, you should continue to be affectionate, I'm leaving first."

Qi Ming took the task and retreated decisively. It was not a good feeling to be fed dog food all the time.

...

After wandering around the city, Qi Ming came to a house where many NPCs gathered and stood still.

"This is the fourth one in a month!"

"Yeah! Alas, I don't know when Dongman City became so dangerous."

"More than ten people have died. It's terrible. I have to let my family pay attention to safety!"

As the NPCs talked, three bodies covered with white cloth were carried out of the house.

Qi Ming, who was standing by, was refreshed after seeing this scene.

This is a triggered task. The process will only start when a player above level 40 approaches.

Fortunately, the current players are not at a high enough level, so they were not preempted.

Soon, a guard captain named "Love" found Qi Ming and said respectfully: "Baron, I didn't expect to alarm you."

Qi Ming waved his hand and said: "What happened?"

"Alas! I don't know which evil person committed these crimes! Those people... died in such a miserable way!"

"According to my estimation, it is very likely that some unsatisfied guy wanted to force them to do something, but these girls refused, so..."

"No, no! Such a death may be caused by a beast!"

"Beast? When have beasts appeared in our Dongman City?"

"Okay! Everyone disperse! Be careful! If you find anything, report to us immediately!"

After Love gave an order, ordinary NPCs gradually dispersed.

"Baron, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Of course."

"Alas, the people in the city are in a panic now. Please investigate the murderer who committed these evil deeds, the sooner the better!"

"Ding..."

"Optional mission: The murderer in Dongman City."

“Task requirements: Please find the villain who has been killing people recently.”

“Accepted!”

Speaking of this task, it is not easy.

You need to constantly investigate various small clues, and then suspects will appear one after another, and finally the player needs to determine the real murderer.

If you find the right one, nothing will happen, and you can get some rewards.

If you find the wrong one, the innocent person will be harmed, and then the NPC will issue the task to another player.

If there is no result, the guards will investigate it themselves after a certain period of time, but in this way, more people will die, and not only will they not get any rewards, but they will also be hostile to some NPCs.

Of course, Qi Ming did not intend to do the work of a detective, because he already knew who the murderer was.

The reason why the other party killed many people was to extract a potion that could prolong their lives from them.

In the previous life, when this task was announced by a player, it really shocked a large number of people.

There are many ways to live forever in the game world, not to mention a basket, and the difficulty is far less than this.

What's more, the players later found out more about the murderer.

The other party didn't kill people simply because he wanted to make potions, he just liked it, pure love!

Before this mission started, that guy had already killed a lot of people secretly, but the time interval was long, so there was no result.

The regular mission process is to find the murderer, and then hand him over to the guard NPC for processing, and that's it.

But at this moment, Qi Ming had a different idea. What would happen if he didn't hand over the murderer after finding him?
