Myth is a virtual reality game where characters have real-world sensations, with pain dulled to a minimum. Everything else is identical to the real world.
To protect women, the Myth system has implemented a safeguard: Divine Retribution.
Divine Retribution: Male players who maliciously harass female players will trigger Divine Retribution from Myth, reducing all their attributes by 50% for one week. Repeat offenders will have their accounts permanently banned.
As long as Zhang Pingfan's affection points reach 100, he can have fun. The thought of it made him grin.
Just as Zhang Pingfan was lost in his fantasies, the cute girl beside him spoke.
"Village Chief, shall we begin? I'm full of energy right now."
The opportunity to gain an extra 5 free attribute points was an incredibly overpowered reward that even an idiot would understand.
However, Zhang Pingfan looked at the vast manor. It wouldn't be enough with just the two of them.
"Little girl, wait a moment. I'll go find more people."
"Okay, Village Chief."
So, Zhang Pingfan headed to the village entrance, the most crowded place. But as soon as they saw Zhang Pingfan, everyone avoided him as if he were plague.
"What the heck is going on? Is my Conqueror's Haki so formidable?"
Little did Zhang Pingfan know, he had become quite famous on the forums.
On the official Myth game forums, several posts about Novice Village 88 had climbed to the top of the trending list.
"Novice Village 88 Village Chief is neglecting his duties and wandering around."
"Novice Village 88 Village Chief is teasing little lolis."
"Novice Village 88 Village Chief is stuck in a bug, motionless and not giving out quests."
"Damn Novice Village 88 Village Chief, refusing to issue quests to players. We demand an official explanation."
The scene of him teasing a little loli was especially captured and screenshotted, showing Zhang Pingfan carrying the cute girl.
Player A: You scoundrel, let go of the little loli and let me have her.
Player B: This village chief is truly a dog. He doesn't issue quests and instead teases little lolis.
Player C: So scary. I'm also in Novice Village 88. I'm so pretty, will I be captured and made the village chief's wife?
Player A: Girl upstairs, post pictures. If you don't post, we'll assume you're a toe-picking big guy.
Player D: This is hilarious. The players in Novice Village 88 are so pitiful, they don't even have beginner quests. Greetings from Novice Village 89 players. Fortunately, we were a step behind.
Player E: Already reported. The officials are still processing it. Damn it, this made my leveling speed twice as slow as players from other novice villages. 138 Read Net

Everyone was condemning Zhang Pingfan, and a large number of players even demanded a change of novice village. However, the officials had not made any statements.
At this moment, Zhang Pingfan was completely unaware of what was happening on the forums, marveling at his overwhelming aura.
"After all, I'm the village chief. To see me and still run away, you ungrateful wretches."
Zhang Pingfan cleared his throat and then roared, "Those who want to accept quests, hurry up and line up. I only need fifty people, no more."
Players thought they had misheard. The person who wouldn't even issue beginner quests was now going to issue quests. Considering his previous behavior, many players stood still, observing.
A frail assassin tentatively approached Zhang Pingfan.
"Village Chief, are you really going to issue quests, or are you looking for beauties?"
Zhang Pingfan glared at the assassin.
"Nonsense. If there were beauties, I'd take them all. The key is that building houses, men should be more reliable, right?"
"Nonsense. Are you doing the quest or not? If not, get lost!"
"I'll do it, of course I'll do it. At least the village chief remembers his duties."
What kind of talk is that? I'm already unhappy being an NPC for you, and I still have to issue beginner quests. Go to hell.
Ding! System prompt: The Novice Village Chief has issued you a new quest. Help the Village Chief repair the manor. Upon completion, your level will be increased by 1, and you will receive 5 free attribute points!
"Holy cow, 5 free attribute points as a reward? Village Chief, I'll take it, I'll take it!"
The surrounding players couldn't sit still upon hearing this. A reward of 5 free attribute points was like a windfall. One level was comparable to 5 levels for other players. Who would want to miss out on such a good opportunity?
Instantly, a crowd of players rushed towards Zhang Pingfan, surrounding him tightly.
"Village Chief, I can do this quest. Give me one!"
"Village Chief, handsome guy, I can, I can!"
"Village Chief, my idol. Sister loves you, and sister is very capable!"
"Village Chief..."
The compliments made Zhang Pingfan very pleased. Each word was flowery, making Zhang Pingfan grin from ear to ear.
"One by one. There are still 49 spots left. You, the one who called me a handsome guy, you go first!"
"Oh my, girl, stop rubbing against me. Brother will give you the quest now."
"You, yes, you. Wasn't it you who cursed me earlier? Get lost, in front of my grandson."
Before long, Zhang Pingfan had gathered fifty players, and more players were returning from the wilderness, all heading towards Zhang Pingfan. Who could refuse 5 free attribute points?
"Village Chief, handsome guy, give me one more spot. I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Village Chief, little brother, I want it too!"
Zhang Pingfan wasn't unwilling to issue more quests. The damn system restricted him to issuing only 50 quests, so he couldn't issue any more. Damn scoundrels.
Zhang Pingfan waved his hand.
"The spots are full. Disperse, everyone. Those who just accepted the quest, follow me!"
Under the envious gazes of many players, Zhang Pingfan led fifty players to his manor. The cute girl was startled when she saw Zhang Pingfan bringing such a large group.
"Village Chief, this..."
Zhang Pingfan pointed to his dilapidated manor.
"See? This is your task for today: repair it!"
The group was full of enthusiasm. With the skills of a plasterer that Zhang Pingfan had granted them, repairing houses was a piece of cake.
The cute girl tried to squeeze into the crowd, but Zhang Pingfan directly pulled her out.
"What are you running for?"
The cute girl blinked her large eyes.
"I'm going to do the task."
Zhang Pingfan took a recliner and a tea set from the village chief's warehouse.
"Your task is to serve me!"
Ding! System prompt: The Novice Village Chief has issued you a new quest. Be the Village Chief's maid. Upon completion, your level will be increased by 1, and you will receive 5 free attribute points.
The cute girl obediently stood beside Zhang Pingfan.
"Village Chief, please have some tea."
Zhang Pingfan happily took the teacup and leaned back leisurely on the recliner. This was the treatment, this was the chosen one, wahaha.
This is what an NPC should enjoy. Why bother with fighting? Drinking tea and chatting with cute girls, what's not to like?
