The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 157: Return favorability


Although the two players guarding the gate had long known that Annan was “going out to get something.”

But they obviously didn’t expect that Annan would come back with so many things just for a walk…

“…Would you like to help me?”

Seeing Annan moving slowly towards the city lord’s palace like a snail, they quickly ran over and asked very enthusiastically.

He was carrying a heavy, huge and boxy backpack like a high school student just on vacation. He also had a wooden barrel that reached to his knees on his waist. He even kicked his legs when he walked. He was carrying an unknown object wrapped in cotton that was taller than Annan himself and looked like a giant lollipop – and it looked heavy at first glance.

Annan glanced at the two players.

Are you greedy for my favor again?

The main thing is that the reaction of these two people is too deja vu…

It’s like the seniors who enthusiastically rush over to carry bags for their juniors every year when the university starts.

Oh, maybe the junior is not worthy enough.

Unless the senior is weird.

“Thank you.”

Although he complained twice in his heart, Annan showed a reserved and joyful smile on his face.

He nodded gently and quickly responded: “That’s troublesome.”

As he spoke, he handed the wooden barrel used to store the Elf Hand and the backpack containing the book to the two of them. The reason why he didn’t give the sledgehammer to them was because Annan didn’t want them to know that it was his newly acquired cursed object.

Otherwise they would have received too much information.

Moreover, they may not be able to afford this hammer…

That sledgehammer is really too heavy.

You know, the strength attribute of all players now is 6 points, and a few even have 5 points, and none have 7 points.

Although Annan looks weak and short, his strength attribute is actually as high as ten points.

Yes, Annan’s power is far greater than this group of rookies…

But Annan still did not reject their request for a mission.

It’s not just because Annan is looking for opportunities to send players the “unique designated token” of favorability.

And Annan knows that the way to quickly find someone to gain favor is not to “help others” but to “ask for help.”

Appropriate trouble for others will make the relationship between the two closer.

The more you put into something, the more you will like it… This is called the “effort justification effect.” In other words, humans have a tendency to find reasons for their efforts.

The greater the cost required to achieve a certain goal, the higher the evaluation of this goal in the mind of the actor. Otherwise, there will be dissonance between behavior, cognition and attitude.

To put it simply, if Annan seeks help from the players, the players will convince themselves that Annan deserves help and that they like Annan, thereby justifying their behavior.

In childhood, many naughty boys instinctively use this trick to strike up a conversation with the person they like: for example, asking the other person to borrow their book to read, asking the other person to help them get an eraser, asking the other person to give them half of the textbook, etc. The efficiency of close relationships is far greater than “lending books to each other”, “helping each other pick up things”, etc.

…For example, after the senior helps the junior girl carry her luggage, the junior girl may not have a good impression of the senior.

The school girl who is helped can easily gain a favorable opinion of the “friendly” level or above with the senior who helps others. Even if I ask for help from my seniors, it will be easily agreed to.

In a sense, this is also one of the reasons why you get nothing by licking a dog…

As long as this small request for help is simple enough, does not cause trouble to the other party, and does not bore the other party, asking for help enough times will quickly establish a trusting relationship.

If Annan can give back enough “benefits” in a timely manner, then this trust will quickly turn into goodwill.

In RPG games, the relationship between the player and the NPC who issues the task and the player’s sense of involvement in the game world are developed through this method. Even players’ joy and attention to some hard-core games with extremely high difficulty and strong frustration are cultivated in this way.

These players still think that they are trying to increase Annan’s favorability.

That’s not the case.

The fact is that Annan has been improving their favorability.

And very efficient.

“Thank you both.”

In his room, Annan saluted the two players seriously and asked them to sit down.

Then another person sent 100 favors.

Even though they didn’t actually help… Annan ran so far carrying these things on his back, and they just carried them from the door to the back room.

But when faced with Annan’s thanks, the two of them just laughed and responded:

“It’s okay, it’s not heavy.”

“You’re welcome, please tell me if you have anything to say!”

“You two worked all night, I feel guilty…”

Annan nodded and said in a cold voice: “I will find a way to compensate you later.”

Hearing this, the two players looked a little embarrassed.

Because they knew it well – they didn’t watch the door carefully at all.

Instead, he stood at the door and hung up to watch the live broadcast of the water forum.

“…It’s okay, it’s all trivial.”

The player named “Andersen” subconsciously glanced at his companion “Fang Liucai” and coughed lightly: “Let’s go back and guard the door first. If we leave for too long, someone will break in.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Annan nodded and said gratefully.

Andersen and Fang Liucai quickly resigned.

When they left Annan’s door, they were delighted to see that their favorability level had jumped up again, and they felt happy.

“This Don Juan is such a good boy.”

Andersen sighed: “It’s so rare.”

“That’s right,” Fang Liucai clicked his tongue, “in such a dark world, it is very difficult to be so pure and polite…it can be said that it is not easy.”

“That’s not good, I will be a fan of Don Juan for ten years.”

Andersen agreed: “No matter what new camp appears in the future, I will always focus on Frozen Water Port. For no other reason than that Don Juan knows how to deal with things, and I feel comfortable working for him… isn’t that enough? ?”

“That means there is no good-looking young lady to lick you now.”

Fang Liucai saw through Andersen’s thoughts: “If a new camp is really formed, and the leader is a good-looking thief, I think you will definitely apostatize on the spot.”

Andersen suddenly became angry: “Shut up~IndoMTL.com~Don Juan is not good-looking?! You will definitely not be able to **** him anyway, is there any difference? Isn’t it okay to think of Don Juan as a beautiful girl in your mind?

“If she is really the leader of the beautiful girl camp, she must be pampered, or independent and vigilant… No matter what it is, do you think she can have such a good attitude towards us?

“It’s like how happy it is for silly netizens to blow each other’s horns! If you find out that the opposite **** is the opposite sex, do you still dare to go up and blow them?”

“…You are such a…genius.”

Fang Liucai had a hard time swallowing the word “pervert” and replaced it with “genius”.

Because in the middle of speaking, he suddenly fell into deep thought…

… Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case?
