Chapter 26 Old Coot
?Grave walked toward the sketchy old man stop in front of him. He started staring at the old man without speaking anything.
The old man looked at Grave and slightly slide near Grave.
Grave just looked at the old man without speaking much.
The old guys had a very dull appearance and looked like some homeless guys that looked desperate for money.
' Ha, if only he was not standing in front of the bar giving away his intention.'
The old man did not have patience for Grave. He came near the Grave and start speaking.
"Ooh, you must be a young adventurer. "
Each NPC has a way unknown way through with they can tell whether the person is NPC or a player.
Grave just nodded his head.
The old man spoke with a miserable face.
"Young adventure, can you help me?"
Grave is in the outer ring area of the town. He looked around and saw that there were many players who saw the situation of the old man, but they completely ignore him.
' mmm, This old coot already scammed so many players that already made him famous in the city that everyone is ignoring this guys' Grave thinks to himself as he kept looking here and there.
Grave kept looking around without replying.
The old man once again asks Grave.
"Young adventurer, can you help me?"
Grave finally replied to the desperate guy.
"Sir, you need something. Why are you shaking so much?"
The old man looked at Grave and spoke with a smile.
"Can you give me some money for help?"
Grave nodded his head and took out a gold coin and show it to the old man.
"You want this, right?"
The old man's eyes got fixed on the coin and he jump at Grave's hand to snatch the coin.
Grave quickly moved back and avoid the old man.
Grave looked at the old man and said.
"What will you give me in return for this gold coin?"
The old man composed himself. He started searching in his clothes and took out a brown seed and mysteriously spoke.
"I have this special seed, this one seed will become grow into so many corns for you. Do you want this?"
Grave looked at the old man, then at the small seed in the old man's hand. That seed is just a normal seed without anything special to it. Grave shook his head in denial. Grave put the gold coin in his inventory and start walking away from the old man.
The old man panicked and run to stop Grave from walking away. Coming in front of Grave Old man shouted.
"Why are you going away? I am really speaking the truth. Do you not believe me?"
Grave look at the old man and replied.
"It's not like I did not believe in you, but I am not a farmer. What the use of this seed will do to me?"
The old man spoke with enthusiasm.
"But you can grow corn and then sell it in the city."
Grave puffed up his chest and spoke in a bragging tone.
"It's nothing. I already have so much money. I do not need to work so much to earn this little."
Saying that Grave took out a hand full of gold coins and show it to the Old man.
Seeing so much old gold old man has his eyes stretched wide. He became red from the abnormal stretch. The old man had his chest up and down and even start taking deep breaths.
'Damn so dramatic'
The old man spoke to Grave with some tears in his eyes.
"When you have so much gold, why don't you donate me some of the money?"
Grave looked back at the old and bluntly asked.
"Why should I do that? You are not a beggar, are you? I hate beggars so much, I only like hard-working men."
Old men looked at Grave up and down and comment in a little voice.
"but you looked nothing rich."
Grave raised his eyebrows and asked. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
"Did you say something?"
The old man shakes his dead sideways in denial.
" nanna naa"
Grave this time spoke with a sympathetic look on his face.
"So tell me, are you a beggar or some hard-working old man that is working hard to feed his small sick granddaughter that was at home?"
The old man had a confused face for a movement then he shouted.
"How do you know that? You are absolutely right, my sick granddaughter."
Saying the old man started crying on the street for his granddaughter's safety. He even shreds tears.
Grave just looks at the potential award-winning actor in front of him. Grave spoke at this time.
"Old man stops it. I know you have no granddaughter, so stop this thing."
As Grave spoke, that old man froze with his mouth open. He looked at Grave. Seeing Grave looking at him with the same poker face old man blushed in shame.
Old man rubs his face on the blanket to remove snort and tears. Doing all that old man look at Grave and shamelessly spoke.
"How was my acting? Did you like that?"
Grave started clapping and spoke.
"Award-winning, you want me to give you some kind of award. "
"hehe heh, so you liked it that much. I am not so shameless as to ask you for the award. Why don't you just give me those gold coins as the award?"
Hearing this, even Grave got shocked. He only knows the story of the shameless old man from his last life.
Now that he was talking with the guys, he know those stories were not exaggerated. Still, Grave also had his own experience behind him. Grave spoke.
"I do like your crying and now that I looked at your miserable state, I want to offer you a job. Do you want to do it? "
The old man shouted at Grave.
"How can you be so stone-heart? Can't you see my old age? How can I work at this much age…."
The old man started rambling. Grave interrupt him and spoke.
"1 gold coin for 1 hrs of work. "
The old man stop rambling and spoke.
"Make it two and I will work."
Grave spoke nothing and started walking away. The old man once again chased to stop him. Stopping him, the old man spoke.
"Why are young people so impatient these days okk? I will work for you. Happy now tell me what to do and remember I am not into guys, so do not ask me for that."
Grave just nodded his head and spoke.
"Follow me."
