Start From Soul Society and Cutting Through All the Worlds Chapter 28

Chapter 28 Common Problems of Protagonists in Different Worlds

“How about you two come to our village to have a rest first, and let us thank you properly.”

After learning that Ye Cheng and the others were the adventurers who killed the poisonous dragon, the old village chief and the villagers immediately changed their previous attitudes and became very enthusiastic towards Ye Cheng and the others.

“The Demonic Poison Dragon was killed by one person in Yecheng. It has nothing to do with me. I just passed by along the way.”

When he saw someone saying he wanted to thank them for killing the poisonous dragon, Shima Yosuke was also very professional and thought they were going to give him a reward for the task, so he immediately said that he had done nothing.

“Let's just forget about entering your village, I'm afraid I might be plotted by you if I don't do it.

Since you all know that you have lied about the difficulty of the mission, I won't say anything more. As for the reward for this mission, you must give me another 50%.

Otherwise, I will not only report this matter to the Adventurer's Guild, but also inform your local lords. "

In response to Ye Cheng's request, the old village chief did not hesitate at all, and directly took out a small bag of gold coins from behind his back again and handed it to Ye Cheng.

In the past, he would choose to lie about the difficulty of the commission and retain part of the funds because he believed that no adventurer could defeat the poisonous dragon. The money he withheld was intended to be used to relocate the village.

But now the body of the Demonic Poison Dragon is lying in front of them. Once the Demonic Poison Dragon dies, the environmental problems surrounding it will naturally be solved, and then they will naturally no longer need to move the village.

Taking the bag of gold coins handed over by the other party, Ye Cheng confirmed that the number was correct and was about to leave. However, at this time, the old village chief suddenly stopped in front of Ye Cheng.

“Do you have anything else to do?”

Under normal circumstances, after an adventurer defeats a powerful monster, the surrounding villages will hold a banquet to celebrate, and the adventurer, as the protagonist, will not refuse such an invitation under normal circumstances.

After all, not only can you eat and drink for free, but you can also be praised by everyone. Many people still enjoy this feeling very much.

What puzzles the old village chief is why Ye City is different from ordinary adventurers, and even doesn't play according to the routine at all.

He even said in a rather vague way just now that there are many young and beautiful girls in their village, and they admire handsome and powerful adventurers, but Night City is still indifferent?

“To be honest, we have one more thing we want to trouble this powerful adventurer with.

Although the Demonic Poison Dragon has been eradicated by Your Excellency, the restoration of the previously polluted water source will not happen overnight.

The polluted water source cannot be used for drinking and irrigation. Now our village is already in a state of near drought, so..."

“So you are going to let me provide you with another after-sales service to solve the problem of contaminated water sources?”

Before the old village chief finished speaking, Ye Cheng had already guessed what the other party wanted to say, and answered: "It's a pity, not to mention that I don't know the magic of purifying water.

Even if I can help you, this should be regarded as another commission.

The mission I received from the Adventurer's Guild was to defeat the poisonous monsters that were polluting the surrounding environment, and that was it. As for other aspects, it is not within the scope of my work at all. "

If he hadn't heard what the old villagers said before, after making a lot of money, Ye Cheng might have thought of ways to help the village solve the water problem, but now, Ye Cheng didn't want to meddle in other people's business at all. The other party regards the life of the adventurer as nothing, so what can you do to pity such a person?

Seeing that Ye Cheng had decided to leave, the old villager also sighed greatly. He also knew that their previous actions had offended Ye Cheng.

To be honest, the other party did not report their behavior, which was enough to give them face. The behavior of allowing Ye Cheng to continue helping was indeed a sign that they were going too far.

“Yosuke, aren't you planning to leave? Do you really plan to stay and help them solve the water problem?”

Yecheng was about to leave, but when he looked at Shima Yosuke who was still standing there, he couldn't help but froze.

“Yecheng, I think we should help them. Without water, this village will collapse.

What's more, there are many women and children in this village, and many of them don't even know what the village chief is doing. "

Hearing Shima Yosuke's words, Yashiro knew that Shima Yosuke had softened his heart. This is also a common problem for other protagonists in other worlds. To put it nicely, he is called "Asashi", and to put it worse, he is called "The Holy Mother"!

Ye Cheng is not a heinous person. According to his observation just now, although the people in the village are indeed affected by the water source problem, it will not affect their normal life for the time being. It is just farmland and other things that will probably wither to death.

The poisonous dragon that affected the environment is dead. In just a few days, the polluted water source will naturally be diluted until it becomes non-toxic. This period of time can be regarded as lying to the village about the difficulty and treating the adventurers as nothing. The punishment is also good.

Yosuke Kojima now said that he understood the feeling of having no water to drink and having to rely on rainwater to survive, so he wanted to help these villagers.

"Since this is your decision, I will take my leave first, and I hope your kindness will be well rewarded.

Yosuke, let me give you one last piece of advice. This is a different world, not a game.

Everyone here has independent thoughts and personalities. They will not treat all players equally like NPCs, and not everything you do will definitely be rewarded.

Of course, I have always admired people who are willing to lend a helping hand to the weak, and I also agree with this approach.

But not everyone is worthy of our helping hands. That's all I have to say. I hope I can teach you a good lesson this time. "

With these words, Ye Cheng chose to turn around and leave. In his opinion, Shima Yosuke was still too naive.

However, you can't actually blame him. After all, he is just a seventeen-year-old teenager in modern society who has not been severely beaten by society.

Compared to the other party, Ye Cheng has been wandering around Rukongai for decades, and the cruel business environment has taught him a lot. Sometimes being too soft-hearted may not be a good thing.

Some people are worth saving, just like the elf girl Cui before, but for some people even if you help them, they may not appreciate it, and some may even add insult to injury.

After experiencing so much, Ye Cheng thought that he still had a good eye for seeing people. The old village chief was arrogant at first and respectful at the other. Before meeting Ye Cheng and the others, he regarded adventurers as nothing more than grassroots.

But when he learned that Ye Cheng and the others had killed the Demonic Poison Dragon, and that he had something to ask for, his attitude was completely different. Ye Cheng had seen a lot of such two-faced people in Rukongai before, and it was not worth it at all. Help.
