When being enveloped by the teleportation light, Su Mingan sensed something wrong... The direction of the teleportation seemed to be different this time.
Before he could feel it carefully, he felt a darkness in front of his eyes.
He saw a pure black space, with no sense of reality under his feet, and he was floating in the void.
In the upper right corner, the live broadcast that should have been turned on is now turned off.
He stood quietly in the void, without saying a word, and without any drastic changes in expression on his face, just waiting.
About ten seconds later, a pink light appeared in front of him.
Long ears, white fur, a giant body, noodle-like limbs, the white furry figure moved slightly, revealing a pair of blood-red eyes. The boss rabbit with a blood-red scale carved on his chest appeared in front of him.
"Are we going to have a candlelight dinner here?" Su Mingan looked around. It was still pitch black, and he couldn't even see his fingers. "Not even the lights are on."
Boss Rabbit opened his bloodshot eyes and gave him a "gentle" smile.
Such a gentle smile, appearing on Boss Rabbit's face, looked particularly unusual.
"The eighth world, the world of peak competition." It spoke, its voice had a mechanical texture, and its tone was not as weird as usual, but mechanical and cold: "--Power lord, in this world, you have an extra mission."
Su Mingan's expression remained unchanged.
He had already guessed that since he was summoned to a separate space at the beginning of the game, there must be something else to say.
…Is the outcome the task of those in power?
In the past, he had to receive the tasks from the person in power directly through the system prompts, but this time, Boss Rabbit had to give it to him personally.
"In this world - you need to designate your own avatar to replace an NPC in the eighth world. After replacing the NPC, your avatar needs to temporarily act as an NPC, walk around the venues of this world, and observe the structure of the entire world."
Su Mingan listened and was a little surprised.
——In this world, he actually has two identities: [NPC] and [Player] at the same time.
The main body participates in the competition as a player, and the clone wanders around the venue as an NPC and observes.
He remembered that previous missions of the rulers were to protect a certain NPC or to reach a certain place - to guide him to take the most difficult plot line and complete the most hidden plot clues.
And now, his mission as a ruler seems to be at a higher level.
…He was assigned the task of “observing the copy.” Similar to a programmer troubleshooting bugs.
Walk around the venue, observe the dungeon, and dig out secrets to see if there are any "bugs" in the world.
"Am I...upgraded to GM (game manager)?" Su Mingan said.
"Not really." Boss Rabbit continued, "The one in power, your clone can only wander around the venue as an NPC, responsible for observation and recording. You are not allowed to modify the rules of the game, and you are not allowed to interfere in the game."
"An outsider?" Su Ming'an narrowed his eyes. "Question: After the clone becomes an NPC, can it still help me in battle?"
He has realized that if his clone runs away to become an NPC observing the world, how can he summon the clone to help him fight?
And...given the particularity of this mission.
This clone skill looks even more suspicious.
After all, given the extent of its bugs, it doesn't look like something that can be fished out of the red-level skill pool.
Was it... that he became the one in power because he had acquired the clone skill? Or was it that the clone skill was just an accident, and it was really a good thing that he had scooped up with an E-level lucky shot?
"The clone can't help you fight." Boss Rabbit said: "Since your clone is temporarily unavailable in the eighth world, for the sake of fairness, the game will give you extra benefits."
"What benefits?"
"Secret."
"This is not good." Su Ming'an said helplessly, "As a person in power, I am suppressed like this. My most critical professional core skills are disabled because I became an NPC, and the benefits as compensation are not informed to me... For me, this start is too unfair. This makes me a little sad..."
His emotions came out suddenly and his tone was full of indignation at this "unfairness".
"No, our game." Boss Rabbit interrupted him directly: "Absolutely fair."
...What a familiar answer.
Su Mingan suppressed his emotions.
"For you, this compensation is equal to the price of temporarily losing your clone's skill. As long as you survive, you will definitely experience it." Boss Rabbit added: "You haven't completely lost your clone's skill. You will still have control over your clone. After your clone has completely completed its inspection mission, you will regain absolute control of the skill."
"Is that so..." Su Mingan nodded, and suddenly raised his hand like a studious primary school student: "Question. To what extent can I control the NPC clone?"
"As long as it is within the scope allowed by the world patrol mission, you can try it at will." said Boss Rabbit.
Su Mingan understood.
In other words, it is equivalent to his clone taking on an additional task of "pretending to be an NPC to patrol the site". As long as it is within the scope allowed by the system, he can still control the clone.
...In this way, for him, the clone cannot directly participate in the game between players as a combat force, nor can it serve as his resurrection substitute. But he gained an NPC who can wander around the venue and collect clues everywhere.
He seemed to have jumped out of the level of a pure "player" and moved closer to the design of the dungeon itself. Although he was currently just "wandering" and "observing" the dungeon, what would happen after that? What would happen after he reached a higher level? "The ruler", as the highest level of status, was not limited to the favor of NPCs, it already vaguely involved things in the dungeon.
