I made where a player talks to a certain NPC, the verb, Talk, would disappear, but I want it gone forever (not just until the world ends, for life). How do I do that?

you could use a var have the verb check if the var is 1 or 0, if its 1 hide the verb you might want to disable the verb altogether, if 0 show verb, also have to make the var save in the users save file and load when they come back on.

mob
   NPC
      icon='mob.dmi'
      icon_state="NPC"
      verb
          Talk()
             set src in oview(1) //if the player is 1 square away show the talk verb
             usr<<"Hi [usr] i am an npc" //outputs to the user e.g "Hi Swift i am an npc"

The best way to accomplish this behavior for NPCs is to just keep the Talk verb around, but don't let the player use it.

mob/var/talked_to_bob=0

npc
    parent_type=/obj
    bob
        verb/talk()
            if(!usr.talked_to_bob)
                usr.talked_to_bob=1
                usr<<"Hi! I'm Bob!"
            else usr<<"You already spoke with me! I told you, I'm Bob!"
