This is a chapter translated by someone who had some interest in translation and the person wanted to have me post it here.
With a big smile on his face, Li Huailin once again walked up to the elder of Novice Village. Li Huailin was currently in such a good mood that he even felt that this grey-bearded old man was amiable.
“Old man, I’ve finished your quest!” Li Huailin said happily.
“Hero of the future, you live up to my expectations. Your scars have proven your bravery, this is your reward” The grey bearded village elder systematically responded.
[System Notification] Rank E quest: Exterminate Dark Slimes completed. -200 EXP -10 copper coins.
“WTF!” Li Huailin instantly collapsed. Why the h.e.l.l did they reward the task with -200 EXP and -10 Copper coins? Sure enough, his EXP bar became 250/500. Originally, he had picked up 13 copper coins from killing slimes, now he only had 3.
Forget about the experience, after all it’ll come back after dying a few times, but the money is upsetting! It wasn’t easy to finally obtain a few copper coins, suddenly you take away 10?
“Son of a b.i.t.c.h, to actually steal my money!” Li Huailing no longer cared whether the old man was an NPC or what and directly grabbed the village elder’s collar, “Gimme back my money, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
“What’s going on?” The nearby group of novice players were baffled. They were all preparing to take on missions, when suddenly, a player appeared to be ready to attack the village elder. Curious, they quickly formed a circle around the two.
On this side, the village elder continued to leisurely repeat himself “Warrior, for the time being, I have no more quests to give you… However, I heard that the village blacksmith and tailor seem to need help, perhaps you can go take a look.” .
“Talk my a.s.s! Gimme back my money!” Li Huailin replied while holding the village elder’s collar. “Still won’t return my money? I’ll beat you!”
“What’s happening?!? It looks like he’s going to attack the village elder!” The watching players felt baffled.
“Haha, this you don’t understand” A nearby player seemed to realize something, and started to a.n.a.lyze the situation out loud, “《Heart of Glory》has hidden quests. You see, this player must want to receive the village elder’s hidden quest, and so he’s trying a different approach (beating it out of him… :’D)”
“I see… ” The surrounding players nodded and actually accepted this explanation
“Yeah right” With a sound of disdain, a dozen players appeared from behind. One look, and you could tell that these dozen players were together. And even though they were in Novice Village, they were fully equipped in armour. Leading the group was a middle aged man who looked to be in his 30s. The armour on his body emitted a pale green glow, and actually turned out to be a suit of bronze armour. For a player to be able to obtain bronze equipment in Novice Village meant that he must be a guild member. Only guilds, who fight with Bosses can obtain bronze equipment. For ordinary players who wanted to obtain bronze equipment from clearing mobs, the chances were simply too slim.
“Wanting to trigger a hidden quest with this kind of appearance, you must be kidding. Even with so many people in Spirit World, and trying every possible method, we’ve never been able to trigger a hidden quest” The leading male said “You just wait and watch the good show, this Novice Village elder seems to be a lvl 30 or above NPC, if that guy tries something, you guys can just watch as he gets one-shotted by the elder”.
“Spirit World…” The surrounding crowd suddenly made a commotion, but they immediately believed what the man said, because Spirit World was truly very credible.
“If you repeat this line again, I’ll really hit you!” On this side, Li Huailing didn’t pay attention to the people watching behind his back at all, and continued to threaten the Novice Village chief.
“Warrior, for the time being, I have no more quests to give you…” As to be expected, this grey bearded village elder really only had 2 sentences in his dictionary.
“I gave you a chance!” Li Huailin not saying anything further, raised his right hand and threw a punch at the village elder’s face

[System Notification] Due to attacking the village chief of Novice Village, the village chief’s goodwill towards you +20. Current att.i.tude: Friendly.
“What the f.u.c.k?” Li huailin was once again baffled by the system.
“He really attacked!” The people around immediately livened up, each one with the expression of waiting to see a good show.
One second pa.s.sed…
Two seconds pa.s.sed…
10 seconds pa.s.sed, yet everything was quiet. Nothing happened. Soon, the people noticed that something was off.
“What happened? Why didn’t the village chief fight back?” A player asked.
“Yeah, I saw with my own eyes someone who was immediately killed after attacking the village elder. Why didn’t the village elder hit back?”
The Spirit World members were also stunned, what is this?
What happened next was even more shocking. Originally, the village elder had faced this player with a completely expressionless face, but after suffering a blow, he actually broke into a smile.
“Warrior, it’s you, ah, it’s so great to see you! I hear that the blacksmith and tailor have jobs for you, Can I trouble you to go take a look?” The village elder said to Li Hailin while smiling.
“The f.u.c.k? Is this village elder mental? Others. .h.i.t him, yet he still welcomes them with a smiling face? Is he ill?” The surrounding players really couldn’t stay calm.
