Chapter 15 What's on the other side of the flying mountain?
Ye Xuan stared at the word "fly" for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it meant.
Could it be that he was asked to "fly" like he did when he was delivering the takeaway food before, stepping on the colorful clouds?
He felt that things were not that simple. Thinking about the script this time...
Bats can fly, so if vampires can turn into bats, they can fly too!
Yes, the focus is not on him, but on the kid's bat wings.
However, the child said that he was so nervous that he forgot that he could "fly", and it seemed that his flying ability was very inadequate.
It seems that the little vampire needs to be trained to fly? Since it is a hint, it must be the key to passing the level.
Helping players pass levels smoothly, improving players' "happiness" in the game, and increasing good gaming experience is his unshirkable responsibility as a real-life NPC!
That's true, but how to do it specifically - are there any new tips?
Ye Xuan opened and closed this high-tech physical manual, and then opened it again.
Okay, no, it’s not refreshed by flipping through books.
…
After the player comes online, Ye Xuan continues his mission.
During this time, he prepared some information about "bat flight" and drew a map of the Misty Mountains in his imagination - half of it, and the other half he had not been to and had never heard anyone talk about.
"Sir, are you going to teach me how to fly?" The little vampire squatted aside, looking at the flight drawings that Ye Xing spread out.
Ye Xuan waved his hands: "How could that be? I can't even fly myself. At most I can supervise your practice."
"Sir, why do you suddenly want me to fly..." The little vampire looked at his wound in distress and said, "I probably can't fly now."
"It's okay, just take a look at the blueprints first. It's good to have theoretical knowledge." Ye Xuan carefully avoided the other person's wound and patted his shoulder.
The flow of time in the game is similar to that in reality, but because the timeline of this plot is longer, some adjustments were made separately.
However, it can only affect the people in this story mission. Ye Xing saw that the "life" of other players in the village was not disturbed at all.
"Sir, how do you think I fly?" The little bat performed some difficult flying moves in the air that required a lot of skill.
"Very good!" Ye Xuan looked up at him, "Ten points!"
The child didn’t know what this kind of “scoring” meant at first. After Ye Xing explained it to him, he took it as a unique “compliment”.
"Xiaoxue, are you going to try to fly over this whole mountain today?" Ye Xuan felt that it was inconvenient to call the other person by name during their interactions. It was not good to call him "child, child" all the time. "Xiaoxue" was the name he used after the little vampire agreed.
Xiaoxue turned back into human form and fell to the ground: "Sir, I'm still afraid..."
"You must have the courage to face difficulties and the confidence to overcome fear." Ye Xuan touched his head and looked at the child with a "dog-like cute" expression.
Is this species really a bat? No, is it a vampire? It doesn't look like one.
While he was thinking about random things like "species diversity", Xiaoxue sat in a chair beside him and drank a large glass of iced mixed animal blood.
"Sir, I can try." It was probably the cold drink that gave the child courage. He looked around - there was a lot of fog in the misty forest. This small open space was some distance away from the church and not far from the ancient castle. They had been practicing flying here recently.
"Okay, be careful." Ye Xing didn't know why Xiaoxue couldn't return to the castle. The latter seemed to be deliberately avoiding there and would rather fly to the church than get close to his original "home".
Xiaoxue took a deep breath, jumped into the air and turned into a bat. He spread his wings as if waving goodbye, then turned and flew towards the top of the mountain.
…
Xiaoxue didn't look at the ground that was getting farther and farther away from him. He just looked in the direction of the castle, even though he couldn't see it yet.
Sometimes he felt like he was "escaping" from there, after all, it only left him with bad memories.
After his mother passed away, it seemed that only when he met his husband did he feel the light shining into his life.
The history of the castle can definitely be described as "long". Some unknown plants are climbing on the mottled outer walls, emitting a faint light even in the dark night.
But he couldn't see the light during the time he was in the castle, even though he was of noble blood and was not afraid of the sun.
He had already flown above the castle and was circling it carefully. He was the only one of the few bats that would fly out during the day.
The windows of the castle are not very light-transmissive. Most vampires don't like light and they live in darkness all year round.
But he yearned for light, whether it was sunlight, firelight, or the light in his mother's eyes when she smiled, he thought they were beautiful.
Maybe, he really shouldn't be a vampire. Even as a human, he can bask in the sun.
Similarly, most vampires do not like humans. To them, humans are like containers for food - blood - or tools for producing food - this word was taught to him by his teacher, and he did not fully understand its meaning, but still "borrowed" it to use.
Xiaoxue thought a lot during the flight, and when he came to his senses, he had already flown around the castle for several circles.
Fortunately, he was not discovered. Xiaoxue breathed a sigh of relief.
He was actually driven out, or "expelled" in the words of those vampires.
His bloodline is pure, and the fact that he is not afraid of sunlight is an obvious proof. The clan leader abdicated and went to "travel around the world", and they didn't know where he learned it, but the younger generation was confused.
Things like inheritance rights are hard to explain. Few vampires can understand the words recorded in ancient books now. The elders read a few sentences that the patriarch understood when he left, but it is difficult to verify.
"All vampires who were still alive before the abdication or death of the original clan leader have the right of inheritance. If they do not voluntarily give up, the title will be determined by the level of bloodline. The right of inheritance not only refers to the inheritance of the title, but also includes many internal status and property divisions that do not need to be elaborated on."
The "needless" part is easy to deal with. They have no intention of redividing it at all. They just need a new patriarch.
If the clan leader were really chosen based on bloodline, he would undoubtedly be the heir to the title.
But he didn't want to be the patriarch, and giving up his inheritance would disappoint his late mother. After much hesitation, he was kicked out.
Well, the remaining ones are half-baked and half-baked, and I guess they can’t be selected by “bloodline”. They still need to hold a “competition and selection”, which is time-consuming and laborious.
Sir, his flying skills have already reached "competition standard". It is more than enough for him to participate in a competition and win a prize.
He knew that the teacher was "praising" him, but even though he knew it, he still felt a little flattered.
Xiaoxue flapped his wings and flew across the sky like a black lightning, heading to the other side of the mountain.
…
Ye Xuan opened the panel that can "track" player dynamics, and watching the inner thoughts emerge one after another, he gained a better understanding of the reasons why the little vampire did not go home.
Players, you will be considered to have completed the game only if you don’t inherit the title, right?
He looked at the materials he had written, such as "Basics of Flying Skills" and "Advancing Flying Skills", and felt that they were of no use.
Oh, flying is probably also a part of the “selection”, so it won’t hurt to learn more skills.
He was waiting for Xiaoxue to come back and tell him what was on the other side of the mountain. The game map was definitely an extremely important condition.
"Sir, I'm back!" He arrived just as he said that. The little vampire looked very excited, flapping his wings several times while landing, and then with a "bang" he turned into a child.
Ye Xing stood up and asked: "What did you see? Did you remember the terrain?"
"There are almost only trees over there," Xiaoxue blinked, "and a small wooden house. The forest ranger should live there."
Ye Xuan never expected that there would be a relatively normal "forest ranger" on this strange mountain with both vampires and churches.
By the way, what exactly does this so-called "forest ranger" do? After all, on this mountain...
Moreover, the map of this plot allows him to walk to the entire Misty Mountain including the village at the foot of the mountain. Logically speaking, this cabin can also be visited. If the church can no longer hide Xiao Xue, the forest ranger's place is probably a place worth considering.
"Sir, this is all I saw. Am I useless?" The little vampire lowered his head and tugged at his clothes nervously.
Ye Xuan hurriedly "coaxed" him: "How could that be? Xiaoxue is already very good. He can even fly over an entire mountain by himself!" His tone was exaggerated, as if he was praising someone in a kindergarten.
"Really?" The child raised his face, his two red eyes sparkling, "Is this how you see me, sir?"
The real NPC who told himself to put the players first nodded randomly: "Of course, Xiaoxue is the best!"
Children are children. They can be coaxed into submission with just a few words and happily ask for what they want to eat for dinner.
Human blood is impossible to obtain. The butcher shop at the foot of the mountain does not stock edible poultry or livestock blood products because there are vampires living on the mountain.
Ye Xuan could buy a lot from the mall, but he was worried that if he spoiled the little vampire's appetite, he wouldn't be able to eat like a normal vampire.
Is he worrying too much? After the mission is over, it seems that what the other party eats has nothing to do with him.
Ye·The New Babysitter·Xing thought about this question seriously for a moment and felt that it didn't make much sense, as it was just a part of his job.
"Sir, I'm starting to eat." Little Blood sat at the small table in the priest's room, grabbing a wooden fork.
Originally, the tableware in Ye Xing's room was all made of silver. The church was indeed willing to spend money on some things, but he felt that this role had almost no income. There was no decoration in the room, and the furniture was all small and did not take up much space.
After Xiaoxue came, Yexuan bought new furniture and wooden tableware through the mall to prevent the little vampire from being hurt by knives, forks, spoons, etc.

Xiaoxue gulped down the pig blood soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and consciously hid back in the dark room.
Ye Xing also did not forget to sort the garbage in the game - this is a small easter egg in the game. There is a chance to get some small props if you sort the garbage correctly.
This time one really fell down, and Ye Xing picked up the small bottle on the ground.
Garlic spray? He carefully put the small bottle into the warehouse. If Xiaoxue saw it, he might make a scene again. The child already had a psychological trauma about garlic juice.
