A group of Players immediately received a thrilling prompt on their panel.
"Prompt: Wu Lie’s goodwill towards you has decreased by 1000, and you are currently in a hostile relationship. (Note: When in a hostile relationship with an NPC, you may be attacked by that NPC at any time)."
The Players were suddenly a bit panicked.
However, just at this moment, they also received a prompt that the "Choice" quest was completed and each of them gained 50 points of goodwill from Jiang Dali.
When they looked at Jiang Dali, the Black Wind Village Chief again.
The Players felt that the Village Chief, who seemed as formidable as Evil Star, had softened his stance considerably, looking at them now and then with a hint of admiration.
In an instant, any bit of panic in the Players’ hearts vanished, and they even felt a bit of secret delight and excitement.
"That was close, that was close! This round’s not bad, even though we’re despised by that trash Wu Lie, we’re now clinging to the thick thigh of the Black Wind Village Chief!"
"An unexpected joy, an unexpected charm, Wu Lie truly is our lucky Star, a stepping stone helping us onto the big ship that is the Black Wind Village Chief."
"Let’s just quit the martial arts school and go over to the Black Wind Village. We were planning to leave the school for Zhuwu Linked Rings anyway, and now we have a better option. This is what it means to be a good bird choosing a tree to nest, a wise person choosing a Mountain Village to be a bandit."
"Well said. With us sleeping dragons and fledgling phoenixes joining, Black Wind Village’s strength will certainly increase substantially!"
The Players made a very pragmatic and prompt change of heart, making a wiser Choice.
Seeing the Players whispering to each other and the occasional glance thrown his way, Jiang Dali knew exactly what kind of vegetables these chives were contemplating.
He managed to look deep and unconcerned on the surface, but inside, he was silently giving himself a thumbs up for the quest he had just issued.
This was killing two birds with one stone, not only Borrowing Power but also instantly abducting a bunch of foreign chives to his own field, saving even on the transport costs.
"The Black Wind Village Chief truly possesses exceptional strength, his reputation is well-deserved, a true expert acknowledged by our Boss’s friend, Lu Xiaofeng! I’ve heard much about you!"
Just at that moment, a group of mountain bandits from the Twelve Linked Huts gathered around and greeted Jiang Dali with fists clasped and filled with admiration.
"Nice to say, nice to say."
Jiang Dali also replied with a faint smile and a clasped fist, "We’re all brothers from the same path. The fact that you were willing to stand up and speak for me just now shows your loyalty.
One of these days, if I have a chance to visit the Twelve Linked Huts, I will certainly pay a visit to your Boss, Eagle Eye Old Seven!"
"Lord Jiang, you’re welcome anytime. We at the Twelve Linked Huts will definitely welcome you with open arms!"
"Ha ha, our Boss will certainly be very happy to have a hero like Lord Jiang as a friend!"
"It’s perfect timing that you’ve taken down that little brat Wu Lie, and now we’re all happy. Why choose a date when today is as good as any? Let us continue to sit here, eat big chunks of meat, drink from large bowls, and celebrate together!"
"Ha ha, great! With three friends, two companions, let’s sing loudly and drink heartily. Waiter, bring over the jars of wine!"
Jiang Dali laughed heartily.
With a kick, he sent Wu Lie off to the corner like a kicked ball.
He grabbed a jar of wine and started to drink merrily with the group of mountain bandits.
"That’s some capacity! I’ve tried this drink before, and although it’s not over forty percent in strength, it’s certainly a fiery spirit of twenty or thirty percent."
"At Dongpo Snow Hall, we drink heartily. In this wine, we drink to a reclusive life in the Martial World, to being beyond ordinary concerns.
As we should sing with our wine, what’s life but a fleeting moment! In this wine, we drink to seek the ambitious, to strive for supremacy.
This Black Wind Village Chief really radiates charm!"
"I even want to join in on the drinking, but alas, I don’t feel I’m worthy. I must improve my Martial Arts and make a name for myself!"
A group of Players, with both envy and admiration, watched the silhouettes of Jiang Dali and the others clinking cups and toasting, their eyes sparkling with longing. What filled their nostrils was not just the rich aroma of alcohol, but also the spicy air of the Martial World...
