Chapter 50: Extorting NPC

The two of them stepped forward together.

The white-dressed girl Dai Ni Si noticed someone approaching, and instinctively hopped over towards them.

Just as she was about to fall with a 'pa' sound, she suddenly got a clear look at the two of them.

Then she showed a disappointed expression, saying, "Ah, it's you guys. Since I've seen you today, I'll let you off."

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

This extortion scammer actually has a bottom line—she won't scam the same person twice.

Xing Yun Miao shouted angrily, "Dead swindler, give me back my money!"

"What money? What are you talking about? I don't understand," Dai Ni Si said, her round blue eyes wide, head tilted, looking clueless.

"Stop pretending! 1000 gold coins, hand them over now— not a single coin less!" Xing Yun Miao said, fuming.

This NPC girl is too hateful—she extorts money with scams and even used magic to beat her up, her attitude utterly awful!

As a player, she could never accept this; she had to regain control of the situation!

"I didn't cheat you out of your money; you gave me the medical fees yourself!" Dai Ni Si firmly refused.

"Hmph, it seems you won't cry until you see the coffin! Xiao Feng, hit her!" Xing Yun Miao fumed, immediately maxing out all three status skills for Xiao Feng.

"You, what do you want?!"

Dai Ni Si saw Xiao Feng approaching; her intuition told her it was dangerous now, and she instinctively stepped back.

"Meteor Technique!"

Xiao Feng gave his teammate face, using the forbidden spell that had just finished cooldown.

Whooo—

Fire elements gathered in the high sky, the 10-second chant began counting down!

"You're using this move again! Damn it!!" Dai Ni Si screamed in fright and turned to run.

"Is running useful?" Xiao Feng chuckled.

The Meteor Technique's strike radius reaches 100 meters, plus a 180-meter spread; unless you run 280 meters within 10 seconds, fleeing anywhere is useless.

And Dai Ni Si's speed is clearly insufficient for that.

Boom—

The fire elements kept gathering, and the sky grew dark.

Players leisurely leveling up and fighting monsters outside the city all stared in shock at the scene.

"Here it comes again, it's here again!"

"It seems to be heading for that extortion NPC; finally someone's come to punish her!"

"Smash her to death—so satisfying!"

The Meteor Technique had 5 seconds left; Dai Ni Si took a few steps, realized she couldn't escape, and panicked.

She pleaded pitifully, "I was wrong, I was wrong, sorry, please let me go, waa~"

"Pay back the money!" Xiao Feng shouted.

"I'm paying, I'm paying, I can't, sob sob sob~"

Dai Ni Si burst into tears.

"That's about enough..."

Xiao Feng gave a light hum, the countdown ended, he slightly adjusted the target range, and hurled it at a wild rabbit not far away.

(The wild rabbit said 'mmp')

Boom—

Accompanied by a tremendous roar, an enormous meteor plummeted, crushing the innocent little rabbit into powder.

The shockwave spread again nearly 200 meters, the whole earth trembled, and the river waters were overturned.

Hiss—

Xing Yun Miao saw a string of damage numbers in the hundreds of millions floating in the distance, and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Meanwhile, Dai Ni Si, her legs weak, sat on the ground trembling and sobbing in fear.

Seeing her pitiful state, Xing Yun Miao felt no sympathy—only great satisfaction.

"Pay back the money!" she stepped forward, extending her palm and said.

"Oh..."

Dai Ni Si reluctantly produced a bag of gold coins, which contained exactly 1000 gold coins.

Xing Yun Miao bent down, ready to take it.

"Wait." At that moment, Xiao Feng called out to her.

"How?"

Xiao Feng walked over, looking down at the blonde-haired girl sitting on the ground.

He curled his mouth into a strange smile and said, "Little sis, you extort people here every day—your income must be pretty good, right?"

"Uh, ah? You... what are you saying?" Dai Ni Si looked bewildered, pretending not to understand him.

Xiao Feng weighed the bag of gold coins, shook his head, and said, "Too little, too little. Your actions today frightened me and my teammates twice, causing great harm to our spirits. I now formally demand 1,000,000 gold coins as compensation for mental distress—you can pay immediately, or… I'll shoot you with a lightning arrow to the heavens to meet the Main God, who will judge your sins."

"Huh?" Xing Yun Miao tilted her head, a row of question marks appearing above her.

She just wanted her own 1000 gold coins back.

Xiao Feng, on the other hand, had turned around and was extorting the NPC!

Dai Ni Si was also dazed, looking at the ill-intentioned man, she exclaimed, "You can't do this! How can you do this? I only earned 1000 gold coins from you, and you're already demanding 1,000,000! Impossible! Impossible!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Feng slowly raised his staff, "You should know my strength—even without a forbidden spell, I can kill you instantly, no discussion."

Waa waa waa~

Dai Ni Si cried again.

She sat on the ground, wailing: "Despicable adventurers, you're bullying me. Sniff… I won't let you off, I'll report to the Mother Goddess and have the Mother Goddess cast you into the abyss, so you'll never see the sun in heaven again!"

"Mother Goddess?" Xing Yun Miao heard this, slightly surprised, and became curious about Dai Ni Si's identity.

Xiao Feng remained unmoved, palm open: "Stop the nonsense, 1,000,000 gold coins—either pay up or I'll kill you."

"You're threatening me, you're threatening me! Waa~ Mother Goddess, someone's bullying me~~~"

Dai Ni Si cried louder and louder, grew more fervent, and directly shouted at the sky.

"Stop shouting, even if you shout your throat raw no one will come save you. Hurry up and pay!" Xiao Feng said impatiently.

A woman who bawls and makes a fuss is the most annoying; if it weren't that killing an NPC would get him wanted and affect city entry, he'd surely blast Dai Ni Si with a single lightning arrow!

"Mother Goddess, Mother Goddess, save me~"

Dai Ni Si wailed and screamed, but it was pointless.

Thud!

Xiao Feng flicked a big chestnut onto her forehead, snapping: "Enough already, be quiet!"

"Sniffle sniffle sniffle~"

Dai Ni Si saw her pleas for help were ineffective, instead earning a beating, and her eyes filled with tears.

She had a delicate, lovable appearance; at this moment her pear-blossom-in-the-rain look was quite infectious, and any normal man seeing it would soften.

Too bad Xiao Feng is a straight-as-steel man.

"I'll pay, I'll pay, is that not enough~"

Dai Ni Si said while crying, seeing that feigning weakness had failed, she had no choice but to resign herself.

She slowly and reluctantly took out a money bag.

A money bag is a type of currency carrier in the game; no matter how many gold coins, its size is always the same.

This second money bag contained exactly 35,000 gold coins, a considerable amount.

Xing Yun Miao looked and couldn't help but be astonished, her gaze toward Xiao Feng changing.

Extorting an NPC actually succeeded, and she got that much money!

35,000 gold coins, equivalent to 350,000 yuan in real cash!

This round can truly be called an overnight fortune!

"Is that all? You're always pulling the insurance scam, you shouldn't be this poor, right?" Xiao Feng glanced at the money bag and was still dissatisfied.

Dai Ni Si saw he was still unsatisfied and cried: "This is all my money; even if you killed me, there wouldn't be any more!"

"Alright, then for now it'll be like this. I'm taking the money, giving you a lesson: from now on do your NPC job properly, don't constantly bully weak, helpless new players. Otherwise, if I find out, I'll hit you every time I see you!"

Xiao Feng scolded harshly, took both money bags, then split them evenly—each bag 18,000 gold coins, sharing equally with Xing Yun Miao.

"Sniffle sniffle sniffle, you wait—I'll definitely have the Mother Goddess avenge me!" Dai Ni Si hugged herself, feeling wronged, and uttered those harsh words.

"I'll be waiting anytime… uh… when your Mother Goddess comes, have her bring more money or a divine artifact—I love a scene of loot exploding everywhere." Xiao Feng replied calmly, completely unfazed by the threat.

Never mind whether Dai Ni Si has backing; even if there really were a "god," he, Xiao Feng, would have nothing to fear.

At worst, I'll cast a meteor technique and destroy the god!
