Chapter 16: Game Forum

Sandy was initially stunned by the generosity of Xu Feng and wanted to decline his money, but Xu Feng insisted on her taking it.

"You helped me tremendously by connecting me with someone like Herbalist Elias. Hence, this money is well deserved and you shouldn't feel any guilt in accepting it." He said, practically shoving the money to her face.

Without a choice, Sandy could only reluctantly accept the money. Though her acting needed some improvement since Xu Feng could tell she was excited.

After repeatedly thanking him, Sandy promptly exited the room, leaving him alone.

As the door closed, Xu Feng breathed out a sigh of relief. Sandy might not have been a candidate for the rapport status, but she was still a receptionist nevertheless in the Town Hall.

Having an amicable relationship with her would only prove useful in the future.

After all, just because an NPC doesn't have a rapport status doesn't mean they won't have an impression toward a player.

In fact, these NPCs are usually difficult to deal with because players have no information about them, meaning they could only try their best to increase the invisible rapport with them.

Thus, by generously tipping Sandy with 5 copper coins, Xu Feng was investing in her and wasn't actually being a philanthropist.

"This unexpected haul is really a good feeling." He muttered, having completed at least 60 percent of his current goal, albeit with some alterations due to some mishaps.

Despite the mishaps, Xu Feng was rather glad of this development. The gain from this unexpected development was definitely superior to his original goal.

A wealth of 3 gold coins and 5 copper coins, along with numerous recipes which he had already learned, things were going great.

"Anyway, time to check on the forum and see if anyone's been talking about me." Xu Feng clasped his hands and opened the game forum.

The game forum was a lovely feature provided for players to interact with others who are in the same or different regions.

Either this player was very bold or they were very dumb. Xu Feng hoped it was the former since it meant that this OneManMedia had the potential to be useful.

It was just a shame that Xu Feng couldn't recall such a player which meant that he didn't become an influential person.

He had memorized most of the famous or influential players back then to study and analyze them to prepare himself. Thus, he was positive that a player going by the user OneManMedia had never entered his list of targets.

'Seeing how OneManMedia was willing to waste 20 copper coins for this screenshot, I suppose he's an ambitious person.'

For an ambitious person to not make a name for themselves usually involves two reasons. One, he was unsuccessful and failed miserably, or two, he succeeded but eventually got buried by the top and forgotten.

Tapping his finger silently on the table, Xu Feng decided to put this player's name in his mind. Whether the player was a clever person or just a reckless fool, Xu Feng could determine after some tests.

Clicking on the forum, Xu Feng proceeded to read the comments left by other players in the region.

Herald Fist: Where is that player currently? I wished to meet with them for a possible collaboration.

Gentle Wind: I have sent a private message to you, OneManMedia.

Crimson Rose: Are you positive it's a player and not just an NPC dressed like a player? It's quite difficult to tell from the angle of the screenshot.

Lotus Lime: Why are you all commenting here? The poster literally said it was in the Town Hall. Just move your fat body there and wait in the lobby!

Herald Fist: ??? Do you think I don't want to wait in the lobby? I'm a busy person and have to do quests to level up for the first-clear achievement in the dungeon.

Lotus Lime: Yet you have the time to be in the game forum. Sheesh, I didn't know you were a ninja that could clone yourself. Forgive me, Ninja Fist~

Reading the comment from Lotus Lime, Xu Feng nearly laughed a bit. At least there was one sensible person who could actually read and connect the clues, as well as crack hilarious jokes.

"Herald Fist, Gentle Wind, and Crimson Rose... you three are definitely some pretentious folks." He gave his verdict and fixed his glasses, a somewhat sinister grin appeared on his face.
