Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

Ten minutes later.

"Adventurer...I...I failed again. Could you...buy me another ring? They say success comes in threes, I'm sure I'll succeed on the third try!"

Wang Xing: ...

"Okay! I'll go buy you some more!" Wang Xing practically shouted through gritted teeth; heaven knows he felt like tearing Ak apart right now.

At the same time, he cursed himself for being an idiot for wasting his time and money on this Ak.

But since we've already done it, if we just give up now, wouldn't that be admitting that we did something stupid?

Half an hour later, Wang Xing returned again.

This time he was smarter; he didn't just buy one, he bought a full ten rings!

"I refuse to believe it! Ten tries and it still won't work!"

Once...twice...three times...ten times...until Wang Xing used up all ten rings he had bought, his gaze towards Ak was different.

Or rather, it was Wang Xing's own gaze that changed.

Confusion and doubt filled his mind.

"Could it be... that I was really wrong? Is this a completely repetitive quest? A repetitive quest where you exchange money for experience points, and the effort and reward are completely disproportionate?"

"Adventurer? Adventurer?" Seeing Wang Xing staring blankly, Ak quickly called out.

Wang Xing snapped out of his daze and looked at Ak's expectant face. For some reason, a voice in his heart kept telling him that he must continue to help Ak.

Your efforts will definitely be rewarded!

"Does hard work really pay off...?" Wang Xing muttered to himself, his resolve gradually hardening.

"Whatever, if ten tries don't work, then a hundred! I refuse to believe this mission is really an infinite loop!"

"Just wait!"

As Wang Xing ran towards the jewelry store, he sold all the black iron equipment and other miscellaneous items in his backpack, but in the end, he only got 1.3 gold coins.

In the end, having no other choice, I spent money to buy 2 more gold coins.

This was actually the first time Wang Xing had ever bought game currency; he was the one who sold it before, but today it was the other way around.

This time, Wang Xing bought 100 rings, spending a total of 2.5 gold coins.

If these hundred rings are still not enough, then Wang Xing can only accept his bad luck.

As for the rest, they can still be recycled at a price of 1 silver coin per ring.

"adventurer..."

[Accept the quest...]

[Task completed...]

Time and time again, it was almost an endless cycle. If it weren't for the sky gradually darkening, Wang Xing would have even forgotten the passage of time.

And so, the task was carried out at a rate of 6 times per hour.

At first, Wang Xing would wait in the courtyard, but later he simply followed Ak. Whenever Ak came out, Wang Xing would accept the mission and then ask him to propose again. This way, the mission speed could be changed to once every 3 minutes, or 20 times per hour.

until...

"Waaaaah..."

When the 100th marriage proposal fails, Wang Xing mechanically takes out a ring and hands it to Ak, but the plot suddenly changes.

"Adventurer, I think... it's not a matter of how many times I've proposed, but rather that there's something wrong with the ring I used. A crystal ring is too cheap; I need to bring out a truly unique ring! I'm confident I'll succeed next time!"

"It's such a pity that my family heirloom ring was stolen by the notorious thief Black Cat, otherwise I would surely have won Lilia's heart. Adventurer, would you be willing to help me find my lost ring?"

[Ding~ Accept the hidden quest "The Lost Ring"? Quest Description: Proceed to the Dark Forest, find the notorious thief "Black Cat," defeat him, and retrieve Ak's lost family heirloom ring. Quest Reward: Unknown. Quest Deadline: 24 hours. Failure Penalty: 1000 reputation points lost, all attributes reduced by 10 points. (Please note! The thief Black Cat is very cautious; the fewer players participating in the quest, the more likely he is to reveal himself.)]

...

Wang Xing stood there, stunned, for a long time before coming back to his senses.

After a long while, he suddenly burst into laughter, looking up at the sky. "Hahaha... I knew I wasn't wrong!!! Hahaha..."

"Is that person alright? Where's Xiao Mao?"

"Sigh! Probably another player who got screwed over by Akali. Oh well."

"Yeah, that Ak is a total jerk. I heard someone tried it ten times in a row the day before yesterday and nothing changed. He's definitely a repetitive quest NPC."

"Let's go, let's go, don't get infected..."

"..."

The players behind him taunted him, but none of that mattered to Wang Xing anymore.

After enduring for so long, he finally made it!

"Accept the mission!"

As long as there is a clear destination and mission objective, Wang Xing can accurately locate the mission objective and eliminate it.

With his current strength, no one can be his match except for a level 30 or higher leader boss.

"Adventurer, thank you! You must help me find my family's heirloom ring!" Ak looked at Wang Xing with gratitude.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

After accepting the mission, it had already gotten dark. With the Night Raven's 20% bonus, its combat ability was stronger, and Wang Xing's confidence in completing the mission increased.

As for the issue of the mission requiring a small number of people, this poses even less of a limitation for Wang Xing. He was originally leveling up alone, and if there were more people, he wouldn't dare to unleash his full strength.
