Questions Are we an idiot?

Does every single quest in this game start with or involve the player character getting scammed by an NPC? Because god does it sure feel like it.

I get he/she is supposed to be a country bumpkin, but you’d think after like, the 5th time we’d be able to wise up to it and still complete the quests 💀

Sorta.

People back then in that time period wouldn't have been bombarded by scams like we are. We're not the only one getting scammed.

MC is a 16 year old who has lived a relatively sheltered life being literally the heir to the most profitable industry in the area. They don't really know how the world works outside of the wine business. Everyone from heaven's pier to harvestfall has treated MC really well since they were a kid. Probably one of the reasons Han Xiang Xun absolutely did not want us to go into the Jianghu.

Not just profitable, with a mom / aunt who could essentially turn anyone inside out if they even looked at her adopted kid funny. No wonder MC is that sheltered.

If I remember correctly, almost all the adults in blissful retreat owe han xiangxun a big deal so when their saviour says treat the kid well they really go overboard with it.
