Chapter 18: Assigning a quest.

"Yuyu, of course, also noticed the presence of Xuelang.

The players have IDs displayed on top of there heads. According to the game settings, NPCs are invisible to these IDs, which serves as a basis for identifying each other among players.

However, Yuyu is not an ordinary NPC. He possesses a unique ability to see player IDs through his own panel, allowing him to identify their identities amidst the crowd.

As the duel concluded today, the cheering and roaring onlookers dispersed. Yuyu contemplated how to approach this player first, but to his surprise, the other party immediately rushed over, his face obscured by bangs.

Taking a moment to recall the opening dialogue of the game NPCs, Yuyu began, "You're a new face, are you the most recent duelist?"

Xuelang nodded eagerly.

"Well, could you do me a favor?"

Under normal circumstances, making a request to a stranger upon meeting them for the first time would likely result in them giving you strange looks. However, players are a peculiar species.

Upon hearing Yuyu's request, Xuelang's eyes lit up, and he nodded enthusiastically, resembling a chicken pecking at rice. "Yes, absolutely! There's no problem at all."

[Do you want to assign a mission to player Xuelang?]

That sure was easy.

Perhaps it was because his own panel could interact with the player's game panel. He might be the only NPC in the entire world capable of independently editing and issuing tasks to players.

The task's specific content and rewards were freely editable. Leveraging this task system, he could easily use rewards to instruct players to run errands for him.

He wasn't afraid of rejection from the player, so editing tasks with strange requirements such as "running around naked," "to bark," on the task panel might not be entirely impossible...

Ahem, of course, Yuyu was a serious NPC, so naturally, he wouldn't assign such frivolous tasks.

The task rewards section usually allowed for the selection of special items, experience points for leveling up, and even spars for drawing card packs from the system card pool.

Of course, he could also choose to directly use a card as a task reward.

However, if he chose items, spars, or cards as rewards, they had to come from Yuyu himself. In other words, if a spar was sent as a reward to the player, his own spar would be depleted.

The same applied to cards; he could only use his own cards as rewards and send them to players.

After contemplating for a while, Yuyu concluded that the valuable cards must be kept for himself. Only those cards he couldn't use personally or had more than three copies in his deck were suitable to be offered as rewards.

Experience points couldn't be deducted from himself, but there was a daily upper limit on the experience points an NPC could give out. This limit depended on his rank and title status.

The title status referred to the honors obtained in various duel competitions. For instance,Jonouchi was the runner-up of the Duel Kingdom, while Mutou was the champion of the Duel Kingdom and the sole designated Duel King.

If an NPC could acquire a unique title like Dueling King, the upper limit on daily experience points released would be quite huge.

After careful consideration, Yuyu issued his first task to a player.

"Currently, I'm in need of a 'Fusion' spell card," he said. "Could you find one for me?"

Note: My bad didn't update in a while.
