"I'm so miserable!"
Yi Lin cleared his throat and discreetly deactivated his Skills.
"Oh, bewildered merchant, may I inquire if you require any assistance?"
Yi Lin tried hard to muster a kindly smile, which perfectly matched the character he "believed" he should exhibit.
Hearing the voice, the sorrowful merchant looked up blankly.
No?
Could I have guessed wrong?
Yi Lin gently probed again, asking slowly, "Do you need help? Perhaps... with retrieving stolen weapons or the like?"
The merchant, with a lost expression, suddenly lit up at these words.
Ding!
A pleasant sound effect rang beside Yi Lin's ear.
At the same time,
A dazzling exclamation mark awkwardly popped up above the merchant's head.
Yi Lin smiled.
Very kindly.
Ding!
Yi Lin quickly reined in his smile.
To avoid any possible misunderstandings with this heartbroken NPC merchant.
But the ding, ding, ding sound was indeed pleasant to the ear.
