Chapter 6
Most of the [Newcomer] mission in Suxingyuan has been completed, and you just need to talk to another NPC.
For efficiency reasons, he simply did a somersault instead of walking.
Not to mention, this is much faster than walking. Although sprinting can be faster, it does not add any attributes:D.
After consuming 60% of his physical strength, he successfully and quickly reached the last NPC who was ready to talk.
Just like the NPCs before, when she saw him coming over with a backflip, she was shocked to the spot, with the desperate expression on her face frozen.
Su Xingyuan calmly stopped in front of her, smiled friendly and said:
"Hello, I'm not a pervert."
"..."The word "pervert" that the girl was about to blurt out was choked in her throat.
【★Newly arrived-completed! 】
[Congratulations to the player for receiving the reward: 500EXP]
[You have been upgraded!] 】
[Your current level is lv.6]
Su Xingyuan closed the pop-up window with his consciousness, and noticed the girl's expression of despair. He thought for a moment, stepped back half a step, raised his hands slightly to indicate that he was harmless, and then slowed down his voice and said:
"I just saw that you were a little sad, and wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to help. I meant no harm."
His voice is gentle and pleasant, which can easily make people let down their guard.
Hearing this, the girl pursed her lips and looked at him cautiously.
The black-haired boy was looking at her with his eyes lowered. The darkness gave his already handsome and delicate features a frosted and blurred effect, making them look even more ethereal and soft. In addition, he looks well-behaved and seems to have a bit of student air, making him look like he is in school.
"Are you also from J City No. 1 Middle School? I'm a third-year student. If you have any academic difficulties, maybe I can help you."
The black-haired boy blinked and said with a smile: "My name is Su Xingyuan."
"...Xin Yunxi."
Xin Yunxi was no longer on guard after the other party mentioned the name of J City No. 1 Middle School. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you, but the difficulties I encountered are not academic, so you probably can't help me..."
"But it's better to speak out." The boy seemed a little worried and said, "Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for a person to keep things in his heart?"
Hearing this, Xin Yunxi's eyes turned red, and she broke down in an instant. She couldn't help sobbing and said, "It's painful, very painful, but I really can't do anything, and no one can help us! My brother is going to die soon..."
She covered her face and sobbed.
Su Xingyuan also learned what happened from her intermittent narration.
"Perhaps I can help you."
Su Xingyuan bent down and looked at Xin Yunxi.
"…How can I help?"
Xin Yunxi looked at the pair of green eyes that were transparent even in the darkness, and the two small moles just below the eyes that looked a little bewitching, and her buzzing brain miraculously calmed down a little.
She suddenly realized that the other party had been behaving unusually from the beginning, and that face that looked like a model should never appear in reality, right?
"It's simple. Isn't your brother going to enter the door as a support worker?" He said calmly, "I will enter that door in his place."
Xin Yunxi was speechless. She opened her mouth but no sound came out, then quickly shook her head.
She said in a dry voice: "No, this is a matter of life for life. It's more dangerous inside the gate than you think!"
Those people from the Paishan Guild won’t bother to protect ordinary people!
"I know," Su Xingyuan nodded, "give your brother half of the profits from the sect."
Xin Yunxi: “…” Doesn’t this mean he didn’t take her warning seriously at all? The point is profit!
"But other than this method, how else can you save your brother? Ordinary people will die if they enter the door."
Xin Yunxi couldn't refute.
"Just think of this as a deal." Su Xingyuan spread out his hands and said, "I'll use your brother's identity to get in. I'll take half of the proceeds, and you can use the rest to treat your illness."
"If I die... No, I won't die, that assumption doesn't hold."
He said with conviction.
Xin Yunxi bit her lip and remained silent for a moment, then finally made up her mind and said with a trembling voice, "Okay. Brother will come back tomorrow at noon, and will follow the people from Paishan Guild into the gate in the evening."
"I will keep him well locked up at home. Come find me here tomorrow at noon and I will give you his logistics work permit."
Whether he was one of those people who fantasized that he was different and could soar to the sky, or whether he really had the ability to enter the door, the guilt and sense of remorse made it impossible for her to think further, so she turned around and went home.
Su Xing Yuan found a bench and sat down.
The matter of entering the door was confirmed. Even though ordinary people's lives were not important in the eyes of the Paishan Guild, a door that could bring ordinary people in was probably not one with high degree of danger.
It's a good opportunity to get close to the Paishan Guild.
He glanced at the time and it was already half past ten in the evening in the game.
Su·Without human currency, penniless·Xingyuan: "...Run the map."
He wanted to experience the feeling of sleeping in the game, but he didn't want to experience the feeling of sleeping in the park for the time being.
It was almost winter and the chair was really cold. He suspected that when he woke up he would find himself dead and back at the last save point.
Su Xingyuan opened the mini-map and zoomed in, and the buildings of J City appeared on it.
The sentence "Are you also from J City No. 1 Middle School?" that I said when I was trying to get closer to Xin Yunxi was because on the map, J City No. 1 Middle School was the closest to here.
Even if he guessed wrong, it didn't matter. Xin Yunxi would probably just refute him and then give the correct answer.
He found the location of the library and moved there normally this time.
The library was closed, so Su Xingyuan climbed up to the second floor, successfully found an unlocked window, and entered the reading room.
He originally wanted to find some small notebooks that were easy to carry, but then he changed his mind and thought that since he had everything in his backpack anyway, he could carry the big books and use them as weapons.
So he glanced at the bookshelf and took the book that looked the thickest.
After taking out the book, there was still an identical book lying on the bookshelf, and the overall environment had not changed. This is very similar to the pixel games he played before.
Su Xingyuan put the book into his backpack and prepared to continue walking towards the window, but found that the window was blocked by an air wall.
The next moment.
[Ding Dong, a limited-time task is triggered!] 】
[-You entered the largest library in the city. It was late at night and there should be no one in the library. But the moment you took the book, you heard a creepy dragging sound coming from outside the door...]
[Please survive for 30 minutes under the pursuit of [Librarian-Demonization]]
[Quest Reward: Carterfield's Book of Wisdom]
Su Xingyuan, who just wanted to get a book and had only half of his strength left: "..."
He quickly saved the file, then slowly turned his head and looked towards the only door of the reading room.
It was as if the sound of some cloth rustling was coming from far away, slowly coming from the corridor outside to the door of the reading room, and then stopping.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
The rhythmic knocking on the door became particularly clear in the silence of the night.
A voice so hoarse that it was almost unintelligible came from outside the door:
"Is anyone in there?"
Su Xingyuan: “No.”
…
The next moment, several tentacles suddenly came out from outside the door and rolled straight towards Su Xingyuan's position!
Su Xingyuan was prepared and jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding the flying tentacles.
[Agility: 19]
There was no extra expression on the black-haired boy's face, just a pair of turquoise cat's eyes, which locked onto the monster outside the door like a real cat.
Quiet, rational, and cold.
The moment his body fell and his toes touched the ground, he suddenly rushed towards the monster.
The monster whose tentacles rolled into the room and which had just entered the reading room still maintained a roughly human shape, but its skin had turned a creepy purple color with strange protrusions all over it, and tentacles were sticking out of its eye sockets.
The rest of the tentacles grew on various parts of his body.
Feeling the player rushing towards it, it instantly blocked several of its tentacles in front of it as it made a defensive gesture, while the remaining tentacles prepared to launch an attack from the rear.
Then Suxingyuan turned halfway.
He rushed out the door, brushing against the monster's tentacles.
The structure of the library is that there is a square space in the middle of the second floor, so that the scene on the first floor can be seen directly from the second floor.
The black-haired boy turned over and went downstairs, concluding with a relaxed smile:
"Clever, but not clever enough."
The monster that was left hanging there: “…”
Realizing that it had been tricked, its tentacles angrily destroyed everything around it, and then it used its thick tentacles to support the ground and instantly moved outside the door, throwing itself down.
The gradually expanding monster landed in the center of the first floor, its tentacles flying, frantically searching for Su Xingyuan.
And the person it was looking for was hanging above it.
Su Xingyuan didn't flip over at all. He just made that movement and then grabbed the depression on the side, stopping himself in this position.
After finding that the monster was successfully led down, he exerted force with his arms and easily climbed back to the second floor.
This monster really has no eyesight, and its movements are based solely on hearing and the flow of air around it.
The library has five floors in total. Su Xingyuan thought that the librarian would probably have to search each floor before realizing that he had been tricked again, so he walked upstairs quietly.
Six minutes had passed now and he only needed to survive for half an hour, which was not a difficult task.
When Su Xingyuan reached the fifth floor, the monster finally calmed down and walked up the stairs.
When it is quiet, any movement becomes noticeable.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
The entire floor was occupied by a kind of wriggling flesh worms that fell from the monster. The flesh worms kept dividing and growing, and soon there was no place left for them to stay.
Su Xingyuan lowered his eyes.
It really did have other tricks, otherwise he would just have to move repeatedly on the first and second floors to amuse it. This task was not difficult, but not too simple either.
He glanced at the time.
Eighteen minutes left.
But what exactly is this demonized librarian? A monster coming out of the portal?
Su Xingyuan didn't think that such a well-made game would create a monster that had nothing to do with the game background for no reason.
He opened his backpack.
With a glimmer of light, an ancient heavy sword appeared in his hand.
