Chapter 17
Su Xingyuan really didn't expect that just grabbing an NPC to help her would end up creating a side quest.
Sure enough, although it is not explicitly stated in the game, the possibility of receiving quests from NPCs is still extremely high.
——However, there are differences among NPCs. Not every NPC in an online game will give players tasks. Most of them are there to create an atmosphere.
It's good to have a big fish behind the Paishan Guild. The big fish must be an important NPC. There must be many secrets and many red names. At that time, experience and gold coin rewards will come from all directions.
Su Xingyuan's face couldn't help but be filled with a gradually brightening smile.
Although the other two people present did not seem to think so, especially the one named Fang Mujian, his alert value doubled directly - Su Xingyuan meant that two red exclamation marks appeared above the opponent's icon on the minimap.
In fact, if he knew that Su Xingyuan's HP was only 5% left, and a couple of punches from a stronger passerby might kill him, and he also felt that his strength was only comparable to that of a C-level hunter, he would not be so nervous at this time.
But the problem is that the hidden weapon loaded on Ding Fengbo will increase the concealment value after being given the attribute of "hidden weapon", so that his attack also has special effects and is difficult to be detected.
It was simply because Su Xingyuan's own skills and concealment values were not good enough that his hidden weapon was affected.
But Fang Mujian was not aware of any of this.
This resulted in him now looking at Su Xingyuan and thinking that the other party was just a powerful combat hunter with strong attack power who could kill a B-level hunter alone, and he did not dare to act rashly at all.
This is exactly what Su Xingyuan wanted to see.
Fang Mujian is not a red name and cannot be killed. It is of no benefit to the players to fight him at this time.
He just came to complete the preliminary task.

Fan Ling will not be delayed too long, he needs to make a quick decision.
"You are silent. Do you think that if you lose the item that can directly upgrade the hunter, the forces behind you will still protect you?"
In the silence, the young man in black's voice, with a casual smile, was particularly clear and piercing: "I thought you were a smart man, but it turns out you are just an idiot."
Yue Chengan's face suddenly turned pale.
He couldn't help but feel a little flustered. That thing could actually directly enhance the hunter's strength? This is unheard of, no wonder those people are so cautious...
Su Xingyuan, who was not far away and slowed down his speech and focused his attention on him, clearly saw the flash of surprise and doubt in his eyes.
Apart from this, there were no other emotions, such as disdain and ridicule towards Su Xingyuan for giving out wrong information.
The black-haired boy's eyes slowly curved.
He no longer deliberately lowered his voice, and his tone suddenly became more lively, even with a bit of childish energy, and he said his conclusion with a smile:
"——So you don't know anything, Mr. Yue Chengan."
【★ Secret Realm Prelude - Adventure】
【→Find the insider and explore relevant information (completed)! 】
——The only person who knows the truth actually doesn’t know the truth. This can also be considered relevant information, right?
There was a regular and rapid sound of footsteps, getting closer and closer, and at the same time there was a very faint sound of guns being loaded.
No one knew how, under such a relaxed tone, the black-haired boy in the loose hooded coat tensed up his body, just waiting for that fleeting opportunity.
Just as the footsteps stopped and the bullet suddenly rushed out of the gun barrel -
"Bang!!"
"【diffusion】!!"
Two voices sounded at the same time!
The high-speed spinning bullets increased from one to countless in an instant, forming a dense net, instantly blocking all the escape routes of the young man in black!
It was at this moment - or perhaps even earlier, that the young man in black suddenly raised his right hand as if he had anticipated it. Due to the obstruction of his sleeves and his extremely fast movements, no one saw what he did. All they knew was that almost at the same time, crystal clear ice appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Several bullets directed at him were successfully blocked, frozen in a blanket of white.
The lights in the office were already extremely bright, and after being reflected by the large area of ice, people closed their eyes reflexively and uncontrollably. Even their limbs became stiff and difficult to move because of the bone-chilling cold that spread over them.
——Limited vision.
Fang Mujian thought to himself that something was wrong. He was closer to the young man in black. Just as various noises appeared at the same time, he heard the sound of glass breaking.
He didn't care about his sore eyes and wanted to rush to the window, but he found that another figure rushed down faster.
His heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Fan Ling! Don't be impulsive!!"
——This is the 23rd floor! !
Even if an A-level combat hunter has strengthened his body, he will still die if he falls from this height!
Fang Mujian gritted his teeth, and his hands formed a complex seal in an instant:
"Get up for me!!!"
A buzzing sound spread out from him, quickly spreading to the upper and lower floors. As long as his ability covered the area, all unfixed objects would fly into the air!
The effect of this ability only lasts for fifteen seconds.
Fang Mujian quickly came to the window and looked down.
At this time, the young man in black had completely disappeared from the vicinity. Only a hint of warm yellow rising slowly in the distance indicated that the chaotic night was over.
Fan Ling was standing outside the window, controlling his body's balance and floating in the air with the help of his ability. He lowered his eyes and looked at the empty ground below with an extremely gloomy expression.
At the last second before the effect of her ability ended, she grabbed the windowsill and climbed into the room.
"Thank you." She nodded to Fang Mu Jian.
Fang Mujian shook his head: "Why are you saying all this? What did you encounter on the thirteenth floor? Are you feeling okay?"
If nothing serious had happened, with Fan Ling's personality, she would never let herself delay her work, just like when she arrived, she immediately got into the game and cooperated with him.
——Although he still let the opponent run away, and he ran away very easily.
"..."Fan Ling's expression turned cold instantly.
She walked up to Yue Chengan step by step, and then, while he was in a shaky mood, she suddenly grabbed his neck!
"What did the death of my entire family have to do with you?"

At this moment, Su Xingyuan, who had used the wind-powered stone slab to recoil and land safely, and who had successfully escaped from under the noses of two A-level hunters and diverted the conflict, was lying on his back with his arms and legs spread out...
In the sewer.
It's not that he didn't want to move, but he couldn't. He froze himself when he used the ice slab. He was able to open the sewer cover and hide in it only because of his lifelong dignity as a player.
...Although using the sewer as a temporary safe space does sound a bit undignified.
But that’s not even the worst.
Su Xingyuan thought calmly that he must write a complaint letter to the game company, with the theme being about not suddenly sounding the alarm when the health left was 0.1%. This made him think twice and he subconsciously saved the game.
Now, he's broken.
Because you can't move, you can't save yourself; if you can't save yourself, you will die; after death, the game will automatically load the previous second to repeat this heartbreaking process.
Su Xingyuan tried hard to break the predicament.
As a result of his efforts, he obtained the achievement "What's wrong with you if you survive more than three seconds" with the condition of "dying more than forty-nine times in one minute".
Su Xingyuan: “…”
Lying peacefully.jpg
That's good, this is also a bug.
Although this incident made him realize that titles cannot be transferred by rolling back the game, constantly reloading the game was not a solution. There was no real-time customer service in the game, so he logged out directly.
His consciousness floated up and quickly landed on the ground. Su Xingyuan left the holographic world and felt the existence of the game helmet again.
He took off his helmet and turned on his computer.
The last chat record with the customer service of this game was when I received the gaming helmet.
Su Xingyuan asked calmly: [Hello, my file broke down accidentally, can it be repaired? 】
The other side first sent a [? ], and then another sentence appeared: [OK, dear players, please wait a moment].
He didn't say anything after that. He must have gone to check the specific situation.
Su Xingyuan was not in a hurry and poured himself a glass of water.
Soon the customer service came back after checking, was silent for a moment, and then began to repeatedly consider the words. The chat box repeatedly showed "the other party is typing", and finally typed the following six points:
【……】
Suxingyuan:: D
He still has some self-awareness, knowing that if his final operation was broadcast live, the screen would definitely be filled with "Hahahahahahahaha I'm laughing so hard!"
It’s like a painter has drawn 99,999 strokes and is just one stroke away from finishing the work, but his hand slips and hits the power switch.
The customer service finally said helplessly: [We will put an "Angel's Blessing" in your backpack. After you reload the file and detect your near-death state, it will automatically take effect and restore your HP to full. 】
I see. Thank you very much. 】Su Xingyuan continued: [Also, can the near-death warning be optimized? If this situation happens a second time, I'm afraid you will be in a difficult situation too, right? 】
[Yes, the characters in "Dungeon" are intelligent and the settings are strict. Any changes may cause damage and serious consequences. The fewer such changes, the better. We will modify the early warning mechanism. 】
Su Xingyuan remembered something and asked: [I saw that "Dungeon" has been removed from the shelves? 】
[Yes, we only need you as a player. 】
As if feeling something was wrong, the customer service quickly withdrew the message and sent another one: [We will use related technologies to develop other businesses in the future. "Dungeon" is a stand-alone game and does not need more players. 】
Su Xingyuan still felt it was a bit strange, but since it was someone else's studio's business and decision, he couldn't interfere, so he said politely: "Looking forward to your new business." 】
【Thank you for your support (smile) (love). 】
Su Xingyuan closed the dialog box.
He checked the calendar.
Ten days later, it will be back to school day.
I always feel that something unexpected will happen on that day.
