Chapter 381: World Mission
She was just thinking about discussing with Sitar and the others how to escape from the castle when a quest popped up on her panel.
[World Public Quest Released: The Dragon Slayer will kill the evil dragon, reclaim the castle, and rescue the princess who has been taken captive by the dragon. The hero will gain the throne, the princess's love, and control all the treasures of the castle.]
Anno stared at the S-rank gold mission flashing on the screen and fell silent.
Has she become a plot NPC?
Is this game really that free-form?! It's practically turning players into story missions!
Moreover, this plot sounds so familiar, like I've seen it somewhere before.
At this moment, all players of Doomsday Tribulation received the world mission. Even offline players received the game information, and the official forum also posted the randomly generated S-level public mission immediately.
There are no NPCs in Doomsday Calamity. Apart from the random world quests that the system actively releases, the system will randomly combine them according to the player's game progress. For an S-level public quest like this, there must be a supreme-level BOSS in it.
Anno looked at the giant dragon and guessed that it was the overlord BOSS.
But are all players really that into the game?
She wasn't very interested in following the storyline; she preferred fighting monsters.
Now that the mission has been set, she is temporarily out of danger. She should see if she can communicate with the dragon, hoping it can speak the common language.
"Xiaolong, can you let me go?"
Anuo saw it clinging to her with its tail, as if afraid she would run away.
Upon hearing her call him Little Dragon, the black-gold dragon nuzzled her with its massive head and even licked her with its tongue.
Anuo's face was covered in his saliva, and then she saw his tail curl even tighter, as if he would never let her go.
Very good, you know how to play. It seems this dragon is already engrossed in the storyline.
“I won’t run away,” Anno said in the interstellar common language. “If you keep holding me like this, I can’t do anything, so I’m logging off.”
Upon hearing her say that, a hint of hesitation flashed in the dragon's eyes, but it still chose to release her.
Anno, now free, asked, "You can speak the Common Language, right? Why don't you become human? I see your subordinates can all become human."
The dragon ignored her words and instead rummaged through a pile of treasures. Anno watched curiously as it searched for something. After a while, it carried a large box and placed it in front of Anno.
Anno saw the hopeful look on its face and opened the box.
The box contained magnificent dresses, adorned with jewels and interwoven with gold and silver threads, as if woven from stars, their shimmering light incredibly beautiful.
"For me?" Anno asked, looking at the dragon.
The dragon pushed the box towards her, its intentions clear.
She said, "This outfit is very pretty, but it's inconvenient to fight monsters while wearing it."
The dragon grunted, its warm breath spraying onto her face, as if to say that she didn't need to fight the monster at all.
"Okay." Anno unconsciously let go of her fear of the dragon and didn't even consider it an enemy. She just felt inexplicably familiar with the dragon.
Even this scene felt strangely familiar.
Changing clothes in the game is quick; you don't need to take off and put on clothes like in real life. You can change them all through the system interface.
After she changed her clothes and looked up at the dragon, it was nowhere to be seen.
Standing before her was a tall figure dressed in magnificent robes. She paused, her gaze falling on the man's face.
The man was wearing a silver mask, obscuring his face.
All that could be seen was a man with a head of smooth black hair draped over his back, braided into several delicate plaits.
The man bent down slightly in front of her and placed a crown on her head.
Anno turned to look at a crystal mirror next to her. In the mirror, she was wearing a gorgeous dress and a jeweled crown.
Now, she is a real princess who has been kidnapped by a dragon.
Her gaze fell on the man, and she thought to herself that he really did enjoy role-playing.
What was supposed to be a survival game has been turned into a story-driven game.
"Your Highness! We're coming to rescue you right away!"
Mingxiao's voice came from the consciousness network.
Anno said, "No rush, I'm a princess again now."
As she spoke, a teasing tone lingered, "Sitael, come quickly and save your princess, or I'll become the dragon's bride."
Sital: "Okay, I'll be right there."
Hearing his indifferent tone, Anuo said with dissatisfaction, "Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
“Give me your hand,” Sitar said.
“I’m so far away from you…” After saying that, Anno realized that Sitar was referring to her hand in reality.
She sensed Sitar's presence, raised her hand, and stretched it to the side, only to have it grasped by a large hand.
Sitar squeezed her hand and said, "I'm right here beside you."
Anno was wearing holographic glasses, so he couldn't see the real scene. He could only see that his hand was raised, as if he was holding something in the air, which was a very strange feeling.
She couldn't help but smile.
However, Sitar didn't seem to be involved in the game at all...
She then looked at the man in front of her, thinking to herself that this man was more immersive in the game.
The man then extended his hand to her. Seeing Anno hesitate, he took out a scepter from somewhere and handed the end of the scepter to her.
Anno paused, then grasped the scepter, and the man used it to lead her outside.
