Zhang Pingfan arrived in Pingjiang City.
Pingjiang City had the largest dessert shop among the three main cities.
The dessert shops here were slightly different from those in reality, but not by much, as they were designed to resemble those in the real world.
When Zhang Pingfan walked into the dessert shop, he saw quite a few female players.
"This is so delicious! The cakes here, I never expected the taste in the game to be even better than in reality!"
"Exactly. I was a bit skeptical at first, but the taste here is absolutely yyds!"
"It's a shame the price is a bit steep. My young master almost ran out of silver coins!"
"It's fine, sisters. I'm still using my own earnings!"
Zhang Pingfan approached the cake counter, but he was troubled.
What kind of cake did Dou Youyou like?
Was it fruit-flavored? Or chocolate-flavored?
As there were female players nearby, Zhang Pingfan took the opportunity to ask.
"Excuse me, what kind of cakes do you girls like to eat?"
When the two female players saw Zhang Pingfan, they were ecstatic.
"Village Chief, you're the Village Chief!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "Yes, it's me!"
"Who is the Village Chief buying cake for? Is it Dou Youyou? It's her birthday today!"
It seemed everyone knew it was Youyou's birthday today. It was indeed different when one became famous.
"Well, it's her birthday today. As her master, I can't be too stingy, can I!"
One of the female players said, "Village Chief, I think girls like Dou Youyou would prefer chocolate flavored ones!"
"That's not necessarily true. Chocolate is high in calories and can lead to weight gain if eaten too much. Look at Dou Youyou's good figure; she surely wouldn't like it!"
"Fruit flavored then?" Zhang Pingfan murmured.
"That's not certain either, but eating fruit is definitely beneficial. Which girl could refuse delicious fruit?"
Zhang Pingfan nodded!
He then issued a quest to the two female players to express his gratitude.
The two female players who received the quest were ecstatic. Just by helping Zhang Pingfan choose the cake, they received an extra free attribute point.
"Village Chief, I love you to death!"
Zhang Pingfan said awkwardly, "No, I can't handle such intense affection!"
After deciding, Zhang Pingfan chose a large cake.
He picked the most expensive fruit cake in the shop.
What Zhang Pingfan didn't expect was that because the City Lord of Pingjiang City was Zhang Pingfan's subordinate, the cake was gifted to Zhang Pingfan for free.
Besides the cake, Zhang Pingfan thought of something else. Didn't this little glutton love to eat?
He hadn't had soup in a long time either. He would hunt a boss tonight to satisfy his cravings.
After returning to Pingfan Town, Zhang Pingfan, carrying his greatsword, walked out of the safe zone.
He had eaten snake meat and wolf meat before. He scanned the surrounding monsters, wondering if his aimless search was a waste of time. After all, bosses weren't that easy to find.
Zhang Pingfan returned to Pingfan Town once more.
He was an NPC; why didn't he just issue a quest to find a boss? Why did he have to do it himself?
So, Zhang Pingfan bellowed at the top of his lungs at the entrance of the safe zone:
"I'm issuing a quest! First come, first served!"
The sharp-eyed players were incredibly fast.
They immediately activated their Gale Pills!
"Village Chief, stop shouting. I'll take this quest!"
Zhang Pingfan nodded and said, "I need to find a bear-type boss. I need bear paws!"
"No problem. I remember there are bear-type monsters in the level 30 area. I'll go find one for you now!"
Zhang Pingfan checked the time!
"Everyone else, come and take the quest too. Whoever finds it first completes the quest, and others automatically fail!"
"Understood! Village Chief, wait for me; I'll be back soon!"
Zhang Pingfan wasn't in a hurry. It was only a little past five in the afternoon, and he had plenty of time to prepare.
Zhang Pingfan's sudden quest issuance caught many players in Pingfan Town off guard, and this kind of boss-finding quest was simply too easy.
More than a dozen players had already accepted the quest, meaning that players who arrived later had no chance of completing it because they wouldn't have enough time if they went now.
With no one else taking the quest, Zhang Pingfan returned to his pharmacy.
He hadn't been around for a day; he wondered how his sold elixirs had fared.
As expected, the Yin Yang Pill had instantly become a slow-moving product.
Not a single one of the 10 Yin Yang Pills had been sold.
The other elixirs, however, had all sold out.
"These Yin Yang Pills are really troublesome. It's not that they're useless, just that the effect is unacceptable. No one wants them for 50 silver coins, so I'll change it to 50 copper coins. They're not very useful anyway, better than throwing them away!"
As a result, it only took about 10 minutes for someone to come and complete the quest. He had indeed found it.
Zhang Pingfan looked at the person in front of him, somewhat surprised.
"You didn't happen to be constantly popping Gale Pills while searching for the boss, did you?"
Yes, this guy was the first player to accept his quest!
"Heh heh, after all, the Village Chief's quest has a time limit. Two Gale Pills are nothing compared to the Village Chief's quest."
For players, anything that permanently increased attributes was a good thing.
Upon obtaining the location, Zhang Pingfan rushed to the level 30 leveling area.
Zhang Pingfan's greatsword swung without pause, directly killing the Golden Boss Savage Black Bear.
Given Zhang Pingfan's current base attack, such a boss posed no difficulty to him.
[Ding! System Notification: Congratulations to the Village Chief of Pingfan Town for successfully defeating the Level 30 Golden Boss Savage Black Bear. Special reward of 10 gold coins!]
"Damn, is the Village Chief bored and looking for action? Going for the boss's first kill again?"
"Does the Village Chief need money again? Preparing to sell equipment?"
"The Village Chief is still the same Village Chief, giving players no room to breathe. I feel like the three major guilds are just for show!"
"The three major guilds are crying in the restroom right now!"
"Haha, that's hilarious. Spending money to play a game, only to be outdone by an NPC in the game."
Zhang Pingfan couldn't concern himself with that anymore.
After returning to his small courtyard.
He took out the corpse of the Savage Black Bear, the cleaver in his hand, and with a swift stroke, severed the bear's paw.
Then, he lit the stove and prepared to scald the bear paw to remove the fur.
Hei Huang also returned, having bought many decorations to adorn the small courtyard.
However, another person arrived: the City Lord of Pingjiang City.
Since Zhang Pingfan had bought a cake from them, the City Lord rushed over with a gift after receiving the news.
"Your subordinate greets Master. I heard it is the young master's birthday, so I have come to pay my respects and bring a generous gift!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "Alright, since you're here, help Xiao Hei decorate the place. Stay and celebrate Youyou's birthday with us tonight!"
"Yes, Master!"
