Chapter 45: Extortion and Blackmail
Chapter 45: Extortion and Blackmail
Enoch was badly injured, lying on the ground without moving. Chen Mo grinned wickedly and walked over with ill intentions, taking out a rope from his backpack.
Even though Enoch wouldn’t be able to get up for a while, it was safer to tie her up, just in case.
Chen Mo bound Enoch tightly with the rope. He finished tying her up and realized he had quite a skill in tying people. With a casual tie, it actually looked somewhat like the legendary tortoise binding style. Enoch’s already sexy body seemed even more alluring. Forget about an elementary school student, even a college student would have a hard time controlling themselves if they saw this.
Ah, this wouldn’t do—it was tied too tightly, so tight that not even clothes could be taken off.
If clothes couldn’t come off, his experiments would be impossible.
Reluctantly, Chen Mo untied Enoch and retied her in a simpler way, just binding her hands and feet behind her back. Enoch definitely wouldn’t be able to break free.
Enoch came to. She saw that she was not only tied up, but this Adventurer was also taking off her clothes. She couldn’t help but exclaim in shock, “You shameless jerk! What are you doing?”
“I’m taking off your clothes,” Chen Mo answered honestly.
This full-immersion virtual Game was too realistic. He had had many ideas brewing for a long time. Now that he had captured an NPC, how could he not give everything a try? Taking off Enoch’s clothes was just the start.
“Let me go right now! If people in town find out, you’ll be banished from human cities forever!” Enoch threatened.
As she knew, these Adventurers were really afraid of being permanently banished from human cities.
“They’d do that if it got exposed? That punishment sounds pretty serious,” Chen Mo nodded.
Too bad, big brother here is a super Adventurer who feels uncomfortable if he doesn’t self-destruct once a day. If I get banished, I’ll just self-destruct again—no big deal!
As he spoke, Chen Mo had already undone all the buttons on Enoch’s leather armor.
“Stop it now, or I’ll call for help!” Enoch said fearfully.
“You live so far out in the sticks. There’s no one around here at all. If you open your mouth, I’ll stuff something in it right away and then deal with you slowly,” Chen Mo said calmly, without a trace of fear.
“Besides, if someone really does come, I’ll say you tried to rape me. Don’t forget, I’m here because you invited me. Then, even if some believe you, your reputation will be ruined,” Chen Mo added in a threatening tone.
Hearing this, Enoch felt a pang in her heart and stopped speaking.
NPCs—not only could you trick them, you could threaten them too!
Chen Mo had successfully tricked Grisen in Wild Wolf Valley before. Now he had tried threatening Enoch, and unexpectedly it worked. This Game’s realism was truly amazing, way beyond traditional games.
What the heck—an NPC even wears a bra!
Enoch stayed silent. Chen Mo had taken off her leather armor. Then Chen Mo was surprised to see that Enoch was wearing a black silk bra on her upper body.
Chen Mo reached out to undo it, but found he couldn’t.
System Notification: Your Favorability with Enoch or Enslavement Level is not high enough!
Damn, you can actually take it off!
Chen Mo was stunned. He only wanted to test it out, but it seemed like it really was possible—he just didn’t meet the requirements.
Favorability was one thing, but what did Enslavement Level mean? Could he really capture an NPC and make her a slave?
Just thinking about it seemed twisted. If word got out, who knew how many perverts would be drawn in.
Since the conditions weren’t met, Chen Mo didn’t push further. Instead, he searched for the weapon Enoch had used earlier and the wooden token that summoned the Divine Punishment Witch.
But after searching Enoch all over, he found nothing.
It seemed NPCs had their own backpacks or something similar, and you couldn’t forcibly take an NPC’s items.
Chen Mo stopped and looked at Enoch. “Miss Enoch, do you want me to let you go?”
“Is there any choice? If I’m not there soon, people from town will come looking for me, and your fate won’t be any better!” Enoch sneered.
Damn it, woman! I’m talking to you calmly, and instead of taking the easy way, you make things hard!
But… I need to stay calm—she’s just an NPC.
“You tricked and lured me here to set me up. Do you think I’ll just let you go like that? To tell you the truth, I’m an Adventurer. I don’t care if we’re discovered. At worst, I’ll start over. But you’re a Native of this world. Once your reputation is ruined, it can’t be fixed,” Chen Mo spoke patiently.
Hearing this, Enoch fell silent for a moment. She knew this Adventurer had a point. No matter the original intent, it was she who invited him into her house—Adventurers couldn’t enter otherwise. If word got out, even if most people in town believed her, some definitely wouldn’t.
“I’ll compensate you with 100 silver coins,” Enoch gave in.
“That’s far from enough. Give me the wooden token that summons the Divine Punishment Witch,” Chen Mo demanded outright.
Just kidding—he’d spent so much time on this Quest, not for a measly reward of a few hundred silver coins!
“You won’t find that thing useful. To summon the Divine Punishment Witch, you need bloodline ties from my clan,” Enoch refused.
“Don’t worry about that. Even if I can’t use it, I can still sell it for cash!” Chen Mo insisted firmly.
“Fine, take it,” Enoch struggled for a moment, then agreed after thinking it over.
System Notification: You gained 100 silver coins!
System Notification: You obtained an item “Sealed Summoning Token”!
Sealed Summoning Token: Special item, cannot be used due to insufficient conditions.
After the System Notifications, a black wooden token appeared in Chen Mo’s backpack. Chen Mo glanced at it and saw that Enoch wasn’t lying—the token couldn’t be used.
“You’ve got the thing. Let me go now!” Enoch yelled.
The extortion and blackmail were successful, but the NPC’s intelligence seemed a bit lacking to give it up so easily.
“It’s not enough yet. Give me one more thing, and I’ll let you go.”
A summoning token that couldn’t be used clearly wasn’t enough for Chen Mo.
“You scoundrel, you cheat!” Enoch was stunned at first, then furious.
“Just one more piece! Give one more, and I’ll free you!” Chen Mo said sincerely.
“Nothing, I’ve given you everything I had!” Enoch closed her eyes, refusing to talk to Chen Mo any longer.
Everything? Like hell it was!
If he hadn’t seen the Divine Punishment Witch summoning token earlier, Chen Mo might have believed that. But knowing Enoch had a special bloodline that could summon the Divine Punishment Witch, he wasn’t buying it.
Enoch had a look that said she didn’t care what happened, threatening her again with the same lines would be useless. But Chen Mo still had one last trick.
Enoch, with her eyes tightly shut, suddenly felt a hand press on her chest and start to rub.
Opening her eyes, Enoch stared at Chen Mo in shock and anger. “You shameless jerk! What are you doing? Take your hand off now!”
Grandma, you really can tease an NPC!
Chen Mo was amazed. He’d had this idea from the start, but he feared it would anger the NPC too much and make extorting things harder. Now that negotiations with Enoch were pretty much broken, he didn’t care anymore.
But even though Chen Mo seemed to be groping Enoch, he felt nothing.
The Virtual Reality Helmet was still in testing, with many features limited. The sense of touch was only active for weapons and combat impacts now, so he didn’t feel much else.
“Miss Enoch, are you sure there’s nothing else you can give me as payment?” Chen Mo grinned askingly.
“No!”
With that tone, something was definitely missing!
Well, he had plenty of time—let’s see who was more patient.
Soon, Enoch’s face flushed, and her breathing grew heavy.
System Notification: Your Enslavement Level with Enoch increased by 10!
The System Notification appeared, startling Chen Mo.
He gained Enslavement Level that easily? If he kept this up, would it be enough to take off Enoch’s bra?
Probably not. Based on what Enoch said, NPCs would likely show up soon to look for her.
“Miss Enoch, have you thought it through? I’ve run out of patience. I’m going to take off your pants and toss you into town. Look at yourself now—how would people in town see you if they find you like this?”
Feeling time might run out, Chen Mo sharpened his threat.
“I have one more very important thing I can give you. But you must promise me one condition.”
Enoch finally broke down in fear. If she were thrown into town like this, she’d never be able to live there again.
