Holding an iron shovel, Yu Xiangnan used the [Shadow Blade] effect to temporarily enhance his stealth ability and reduce the chance of being discovered, while also stacking layers of "Shadow Breath" for unforeseen circumstances.
The large supermarket has three floors and is very spacious, giving people a feeling of openness and spaciousness.
The fresh produce section features clearly defined displays of fruits, vegetables, and meats, while the food section is fully stocked with snacks, beverages, grains, and oils. The general merchandise section offers a complete range of products, including home goods, clothing, and appliances.
The supermarket's first, second, and third floors house the food and department store sections, while the fresh produce section is located on the basement floor.
However, the supermarket is located in a low-lying area, and due to the heavy rain, the basement level has already begun to flood.
The heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.
As soon as she entered the supermarket, she heard a commotion coming from the basement. The sounds were intense, like two groups of people arguing and fighting. There were sounds of things being kicked over, and angry shouts and curses, all mixed together in a chaotic mess. It wasn't the sound of zombies.
The bug that the NPC's timed quest needed to fix happened to be located near the basement level of the supermarket, so she had no choice but to go downstairs to check the situation.
As expected, both groups were NPCs.
Wait... no!
Among the group of NPCs, there was actually a player from the Water Star faction mixed in. If the panel hadn't popped up, it might not have been easy to tell them apart at first glance.
Pretending to be an NPC and blending in is certainly a viable game strategy...
Taking advantage of the fact that these people were far away and didn't notice her, Yu Xiangnan quickly followed the map's directions and arrived near the bug.
This is the fish-selling corner in the fresh food section.
The light reflected a cool halo on the water's surface. There were also many live crucian carp and grass carp in the tank, and a faint fishy smell filled the air.
She quickly approached the location of the bug and then pulled out a dagger.
The dagger has a very strange appearance. The blade is long and twisted, like a serrated snake. The two sides of the blade are not a smooth line, but are irregularly serrated.
This dagger is called the "Repair Dagger." It was issued to them by the system and is specifically used to fix various bugs that appear in dungeons. Its usage is very simple and requires no thought; just insert the "Repair Dagger" into the area where the problem occurs and wait for a while.
Yu Xiangnan quickly scanned her surroundings, searching for the exact location of the bug. Suddenly, her gaze froze, and she was completely stunned.
Suddenly, a grass carp appeared on the ground. It actually had legs and was waddling along!
The fish's scales gleamed coldly under the light, and its two pairs of tiny, baby-like feet moved incoordinally, leaving strange water stains on the clean ground.
She rubbed her eyes hard, hardly believing what was happening before her eyes.
That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!
It's like hallucinations caused by eating too many mushrooms.
This bug is terrifying, scarier than zombies...
Are you really playing games with your "feet"?
Yu Xiangnan gritted his teeth, gripped the [Repair Dagger], and although he felt a little scared, he still went for it.
A flash of cold light, and the dagger pierced the strange grass carp with legs with pinpoint accuracy!
In an instant, the stabbed area flashed with light, and lines of blue data code appeared, continuously climbing and intertwining upwards.
Meanwhile, a semi-transparent repair progress bar slowly lit up beside it. The progress bar moved forward at an extremely slow pace, and it was estimated that it would take about three minutes to complete the entire repair process.
Yu Xiangnan took a deep breath, observing the progress bar while also being vigilant about his surroundings.
[Fixed.]
[Congratulations to player Yu Xiangnan (ID: H00) for completing NPC timed mission 1 in 6 hours, 32 minutes, and 11 seconds.]
[Reward Received]: 50 Attribute Points
Just as Yu Xiangnan stood up, for some reason, a player suddenly appeared out of thin air and entered the 20-meter warning range. The system automatically detected her and instantly transformed her into an NPC.
The player seemed stunned, his mind blank. Just then, his gaze fell on Yu Xiangnan, who had turned into a zombie.
I was instantly startled.
He frantically launched an attack on Yu Xiangnan, and with a flash of light in his hand, several crescent-shaped wind blades instantly condensed and whistled through the air, flying swiftly towards her in a fan shape.
Yu Xiangnan was focused on repairing the dagger and was completely unprepared for this sudden attack. Unable to dodge in time, he could only watch helplessly as the fierce attack approached him.
[Hint]: Health -100
She quickly put away the repair dagger, used the momentum to jump back two steps, and hid behind a row of shelves. At that moment, her health was instantly restored to full.
"?"
No, did he just launch an attack?
It's no wonder this player's attack didn't do any damage; the level difference was significant, and the [Spirit Concealment Shield] automatically activated when the attack came, reducing the damage by 50%.
The [Spirit Concealment Shield] is bound to her and does not exist in a physical form. It can only be viewed by opening the personal information panel. Therefore, since she followed her to Water Twilight Star, the system probably did not include it in the category of "carried items".
But if [Spirit Shield] can follow, then shouldn't [Vicious Curse] from that little shovel also work?
That doesn't seem vicious enough.
However, the effect of this "vicious curse" is only truly terrifying when it appears on low-star items. It will haunt you forever, making it impossible to sell. You can only keep it on your person or in your card album, which is equivalent to wasting a card slot.
