This Jianghu has its own way of handling things.
Especially when it comes to stuff like "hero saves the beauty."
If the rescuer happens to be a young, handsome swordsman, the girl he saves is guaranteed to say, "I owe you my life. I have nothing to repay you with but myself."
But if the hero is ugly, well, you get a different line: "I owe you my life. I can't repay you, maybe in my next life!"
The same thing, swapped out for different people, and suddenly the answers are all over the place.
Just like now, with Junlin.
That face of his is basically randomized and generic—nothing worth a second glance.
The girl in plain clothes doesn't even bother to look his way.
But for Junlin and his team, even if an NPC is pretty, all you're getting is a frankly mediocre romance storyline.
Sure, they want to unlock the pants-off playstyle, but it wastes 100 Contribution Points.
Early game, that's just not worth it.
So from a player's perspective, there's no need to waste time with NPCs.
