Facing Xiao Feng's reproach, she showed no fear, straightened her neck and replied: "I'm happy to! I just want to extort money! If anything happens, I'll report your name—after all, you're the Mother Goddess's contract master, you have to help me resolve the trouble!"

Xiao Feng:???

Thus: Xiao Feng:???

What kind of reasoning is this?

On what grounds should the master settle the servant's child's trouble?

Hey, have you gotten the situation straight?

"An NPC as stupid as you surviving to this day is truly a miracle." Xiao Feng rolled his eyes.

To prevent Dai Ni Si from continuing to extort everywhere, especially blocking traffic at the Xiao Zhai gate, he could only generously fork out some gold coins from the Cheng Zhu Fu treasury to send off this little extortion expert.

She loudly said: "One billion gold coins!"

Zhang Fan and the others who had just come in from outside almost lost their balance upon hearing that number.

"One billion gold coins? Why don't you just go rob! No, wait, you're already extorting…… No! Are you messed up? What does a little girl need that much money for?" Xiao Feng was so angered by her that he was momentarily at a loss for words.

1 billion gold coins!

In the real world, that equals several billion, enough to buy all the buildings in a high-end residential complex!

Is she planning to conscript troops and buy horses to carve out a kingdom? Otherwise, what does she need that much money for?

Dai Ni Si sat on the ground, not at all thinking this number was exaggerated, she softly hummed: "If you can't give it, forget it—this is my mission, I'll figure out a way to complete it myself!"

Thus: Dai Ni Si sat on the ground, not at all thinking this number was exaggerated, she softly hummed: "If you can't give it, forget it—this is my mission, I'll figure out a way to complete it myself!"

"A mission? What kind of mission does an NPC have? You think you're a player? You still want to extort 1 billion gold coins? I think your head is filled with pig feed!" Xiao Feng said rudely, not caring that she was a girl, directly talking back.

"You, you're scolding me!" Dai Ni Si pursed her lips, after being scolded, she looked aggrieved.

Thus: "You, you're scolding me!" Dai Ni Si pursed her lips, after being scolded, she looked aggrieved.

"What's wrong with scolding you? You're causing trouble at my doorstep— not beating you is already lenient!" Xiao Feng wouldn't budge.

Indeed, after finding that playing the victim didn't work, Dai Ni Si immediately said: "I... hum! Who said non-adventurers can't take on missions? I'm undertaking an Ancestral God inheritance mission—something you'll never encounter in your lifetime!"

Ancestral God inheritance mission

Thus: Indeed, after finding that playing the victim didn't work, Dai Ni Si immediately said: "I... hum! Who said non-adventurers can't take on missions? I'm undertaking an Ancestral God inheritance mission—something you'll never encounter in your lifetime!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was slightly doubtful: "Ancestral God inheritance mission? Are you mispronouncing? That should be "Supreme God", a retroflex sound!"

Thus: Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng was slightly doubtful: "Ancestral God inheritance mission? Are you mispronouncing? That should be 'Supreme God', a retroflex sound!"

"Hmph, ignorant lower-realm adventurer!" Dai Ni Si raised her chin, proudly said: "The Ancestral God is the Ancestral God, the Supreme God is the Supreme God; the Ancestral God is far more powerful than the Supreme God! My Ancestral God inheritance is something even the Majesty of the Storm God Nation's Supreme God would envy!"

"What are you spouting tongue-twisters for? What is this Ancestral God inheritance, exactly? Why is it tied to money?" Xiao Feng, somewhat confused, asked in puzzlement.

Thus: "What are you spouting tongue-twisters for? What is this Ancestral God inheritance, exactly? Why is it tied to money?" Xiao Feng, somewhat confused, asked in puzzlement.

"Ignorant adventurer! Today I'll graciously tell you, listen well!" Dai Ni Si had a very formal expression.

Thus: "Ignorant adventurer! Today I'll graciously tell you, listen well!" Dai Ni Si had a very formal expression.

She even got up from the ground, tidied her messy dress and hair, cleared her throat, and loudly proclaimed: "I, Dai Ni Si, due to my outstanding talent, have been favored by the great human Ancestral God, the God of Wealth, who specially granted me a trial! As long as I obtain 1 billion gold coins through my own efforts, I can receive the super powerful divine technique he teaches!"

"How about it? Envious? This is an ancestral inheritance, you know—once I become powerful, I'll definitely beat you up and avenge the insult to my Mother Goddess!"

Thus: "How about it? Envious? This is an ancestral inheritance, you know—once I become powerful, I'll definitely beat you up and avenge the insult to my Mother Goddess!"

After saying that, Dai Ni Si fiercely waved her tiny fist in the air, looking like she wanted to knock Xiao Feng's head askew.

Xiao Feng looked at Dai Ni Si, really wanting to touch her forehead to see how hot it was.

"Isn't that wrong? This is the fastest way to make money! Or maybe a clever adventurer taught me this!" Dai Ni Si had a clueless look, even feeling smug.

So this little NPC girl's extortion technique was learned from players, huh!

It's fortunate that Xiao Feng once thought this was a classic extortion case in the "Myriad Heavens" world, with the game backend planners deliberately creating such an interesting NPC.

In the end, it was just him overthinking it.

「emmm……」 Translate: "Emmm……"

Looking at the silly NPC girl, Xiao Feng suddenly felt a surge of sympathy.

"Um... I want to tell you something; after you hear it, don't be too upset." He said seriously.

Thus: "Um... I want to tell you something; after you hear it, don't be too upset." He said seriously.

Seeing his expression, Dai Ni Si frowned slightly, had an ominous premonition, and quickly asked: "How... how is it? Did you kill my Mother Goddess?"

Xiao Feng shook his head and said: "That's the case; as far as I know, your so-called ancestral inheritance isn't done like that."

"How is it done, then?"

Thus: "How is it done, then?"

"The God of Wealth surely requires you to learn how to acquire wealth. You should start a business or work for wages, instead of despising morality and law, running around extorting money through scams. One billion gold coins is too much—if you extort via scams at a rate of one per minute, 1,000 gold each, you'd only get 1.44 million a day, needing 694 days to reach a billion. But if you run a business on a large scale, you could earn tens of millions a day, finishing it in no time."

But if you run a business on a large scale, you could earn tens of millions a day, finishing it in no time."

Xiao Feng gave a long, earnest explanation.

Dai Ni Si finished listening, then counted on her fingers.

Finally she furrowed her brows, discovering that what Xiao Feng said was actually correct!

Moreover, in fact she couldn't possibly swindle that much money in a day; being able to swindle 30,000 gold coins is already pretty good—not everyone falls for her tricks.

Since players' levels have risen recently, she can't beat many people anymore; her daily income is decreasing, and after a while she probably won't be able to swindle any money at all—she'll even have to spend money every day buying medicine to heal her injuries!

"Well, then how should I do this business you're talking about?" Dai Ni Si asked.

Xiao Feng showed a harmless smile and said, "This is very simple; I'll teach you. You just need to take some good stuff, set up a stall on the street to sell it, and then people will come to buy from you. You can set the price yourself—the higher the better, because the higher the price, the more you earn~"

"Um, but I don't have anything to sell, and if it's too expensive, would people really buy it foolishly?" Dai Ni Si, though a bit slow, wasn't completely clueless; she still grasped the basic idea a little.

Xiao Feng said with a smile, "This is simple; I'll supply the goods for free, and all the money you make from selling them is yours. Here, take these potions to sell—each bottle priced at 1 million gold coins; if you sell them all, you'll have 100 million gold coins in your account today!"

Saying that, he took out 100 bottles of the "Great Recovery Pill" for restoring HP and threw them to Dai Ni Si.
