"Is he really that bold as to directly display his uniqueness in front of NPCs?"
It's important to understand that the NPCs in this game act according to normal human logic during the day. If it were someone else, they might have already called the police to arrest this person for human experimentation.
Of course, this was just them maliciously looking for the players' oversights, since locking them up would make it easier for them to eat at night.
Therefore, players must not only escape the monsters' pursuit at night, but also be cautious when searching for clues and gathering information during the day, otherwise they will be arrested by the police station for various reasons and have nowhere to escape from the prison at night.
While thinking this, Willy grabbed the ointment without any hesitation.
The cool, solid substance was applied to the wound like a miracle; the pain and marks vanished in the next second.
The onset time was no different from magic. With some curiosity, Vili held his wrist up to his eyes and rotated it to observe.
Seeing his innocent appearance, Xie Liqi felt relieved and unconsciously smiled.
"It's definitely a good product."
Vili nodded and then put the items into the system space. Xie Liqi, who was watching his actions, had no objections whatsoever.
Even when he saw the props disappear into thin air, his eyes flickered, as if he had confirmed something.
Then he extended his right hand.
"Hello, I am Xie Liqi."
How do I introduce myself?
Recalling the original work's description of the protagonist as cold and highly wary, Vili hesitated before reaching out and shaking his hand.
"Hello... I'm Willie."
The atmosphere between him and the players had never been so harmonious, which made him feel a bit novel.
"Are you also here at the farm looking for clues?"
"……yes."
"Then why don't we cooperate?"
The words of thanks slipped out, but a second later he felt a pang of regret, realizing he had been too hasty. He observed the boy's expression, searching for an excuse:
Have you played this game before?
Willie now finds it really funny.
The protagonist seems to... regard him as a player like himself?
Although they don't have an ID above their heads, it was mentioned in the original work that some players like an immersive experience and will deliberately hide or display their ID.
Vili's thick, raven-feather-like eyelashes trembled, obscuring the glint in his eyes.
He put his hands behind his back and leaned against the wall for support, looking quite nervous.
"No, this is my first time playing this game."
A game where NPCs play as players... that's definitely a first for me.
"Me too."
Xie Liqi's expression seemed completely unchanged, but Vili keenly noticed that his drooping fingers twitched slightly, as if he were playing the piano.
He also remembered that the original work described it as an action that the protagonist would unconsciously make when he felt nervous or excited, which seemed to help him calm down.
His next sentence will definitely be the key point.
Vili became alert.
“I know this is our first meeting, and I even attacked you just now.”
He bowed his head sincerely.
"But since we both chose to explore the farm on the first day... I think it's fate. We share the same ideas, are both new players in this game, and won't deliberately hide anything. Our goal is to leave the game and return to the real world."
"If we cooperate, we can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort and escape from here as soon as possible."
"I've always had a sharp mind and good physical fitness." He stretched his body as if deliberately showing off, "I'll be a great teammate..."
"What do you think, Vili?"
If any other player were here, they probably wouldn't be able to refuse such sincere words.
Vili hesitated.
"But I don't have many strengths... I'm not in good health, and I'm not fast. Working with me might just be a hindrance to you."
As he said this, Vili secretly spat twice in his mind.
How could he possibly have any bad points!
If the protagonist dares to agree to what he says, he's doomed.
Xie Liqi, unaware of his thoughts, shook her head.
"You're too modest."
"I'm the one who benefits from cooperating with you. If we really encounter danger, I will stay behind to cover your retreat and won't cause you any trouble."
Vili's eyes widened slightly.
What a free injustice... What a kind soul!
He nodded decisively, stretched out both hands, grabbed the young man's hands, and shook them up and down.
He smiled like a kitten that had just stolen some cream, his eyes crinkling.
"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"
Xie Liqi moved his free hand and placed it over the boy's hand the next second.
He looked into Willy's eyes.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
In such a harmonious scene, the system, oblivious to the charm, made a sound.
“Host, I feel something’s not right… This scene wasn’t in the original story at all. Although the items on the first day did spawn on the farm, this is the Butcher’s territory, so the protagonist never intended to come here at first.”
Vili was now following behind the young man, watching him rummage around.
Upon hearing this, he seemed to have expected it, his voice languid.
“I know, he has a problem.”
"Then why..."
"But isn't that fun?"
If everything unfolded according to a script, as if life were pre-written and everyone was just an actor, how boring would that be?
Now, this is what makes him somewhat interested in continuing to play in this world.
