"This, this…"
Zhao Hanyan was shocked, staring at the corpses scattered before her!
Especially several high-level players she recognized well.
At this moment, they were all killed!
She then looked at Ye Qiu in front of her, with a gaze as if staring at a monster!
How could this NPC be so powerful?!
It was terrifying!
She had imagined many outcomes, even thought the mysterious NPC might win in the end, but never imagined the result would be like this-!!!
A whole group of high-level players, all instantly killed by one sword from a single NPC!!!
But immediately, she became ecstatic!
The stronger this mysterious NPC was, the more benefits she could get by winning him over!
Ye Qiu walked over, casually picking up the items dropped by the dead players, then turned and said to Zhao Hanyan, "I'll assign you some tasks shortly."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hanyan snapped back to reality, her face lighting up with excitement.
She hurriedly nodded, "Give me any task, I guarantee to complete all of them!"
Success!
At least she got some tasks!
She knew it must be related to her blocking Zhou Wenyuan and his group earlier.
At this moment, she even felt a little thankful to Zhou Wenyuan!
If that pig hadn't appeared, it would be much harder to smoothly befriend and flatter this mysterious NPC!
Afterwards, Ye Qiu left with Zhao Hanyan.
As soon as they left, heated discussions broke out all around!
"Damn! Just one sword? Over a dozen high-level players all dead?!"
"Looks like we all underestimated the NPC's strength!"
"Those high-level players are quite famous, their videos of killing monsters and leveling up are everywhere on the forums. Didn't expect them to be so weak before an NPC!"
"I was fantasizing about teaming up after Level 10 to storm the Novice Village, but now it seems that was wishful thinking!"
"Maybe... only this mysterious NPC is that strong?"
"If I could get on good terms with that NPC, I bet I could hit Level 10 in three days!"
"Amazing!"
At this point, players had confirmed, the cloaked figure was an NPC!
Think about it, the server had only been open a few days.
Could any player be so powerful?
Absolutely impossible!
It could only be an NPC!
Not long after, Zhou Wenyuan returned with his high-level players.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, their faces were like they had eaten dead rats—one worse than the next!
In this game, death meant not only losing experience and gear, but also feeling the exact same pain as in reality!
Those high-level players were used to pain, often dying or seriously injured while killing monsters.
Pain was something they were accustomed to.
But Zhou Wenyuan's face was pale.
He had just started seriously engaging with the game world, just now experiencing what "100% realism" really meant!
"This game really is different…"
Zhou Wenyuan gritted his teeth.
On the forums, videos of the mysterious NPC killing a dozen high-level players with one sword quickly appeared.
After watching the videos, everyone was stunned.
"Is this some kind of monster?! So powerful?!"
"Damn! So cool!"
"I want to learn!"
"Regret choosing Mage, should've chosen Swordsman!"
"Too bad this game doesn't allow canceling accounts to change classes!"
"Something's off—do NPCs drop gear when killing players?"
"Huh???"
"Don't know."
"Come on, no one seriously thinks that cloaked guy is a player, right?"
"The server's only been open three days. The highest level players seem to be Level 8 or 9. Even if there are Level 10s, who can pull off what that video showed?!"
"Forget about the video. Even fighting two at once is amazing, but one against over ten, and instant kills?! That's insane!"
"Most players are still new and don't understand the game fully yet. Actually, teaming with NPCs to kill monsters does drop items, but the drop rate is extremely low… so people mistakenly think NPC teaming doesn't drop anything."
"Got it… thanks for the explanation!"
"But this time it was players that got killed!"
"Are you blind? There's a female player next to the mysterious NPC in the video, they must be teamed up, so killing players drops loot just like killing monsters!"
Novice Village #0001, a Level 5 monster area, Ning Qianjun was still recruiting players to kill monsters and level up the old-fashioned way.
"Sigh, monster XP and drop rates are halved for ten days... really…"
He sighed and complained while fighting monsters.
At this time, he was barely Level 7!
Originally a first-tier player, now many high-level players had appeared, levels far surpassing his!
Fortunately, not all was bad news!
At least he and his sister Ning Qingyue had already successfully grabbed the mysterious NPC's big leg!
That alone put them far ahead of others!
Some consolation, at least.
He looked at the Purple Rare weapon in his hand—the Wolf Fang Mystic moon Staff, and smiled, confident he would get better things from the mysterious NPC in the future!
At that moment, "Brother! Something's wrong!"
An anxious female voice came from afar.
Then his sister Ning Qingyue came running over, breathless!
"What's going on, why so urgent?" Ning Qianjun was surprised, then asked nervously, "Is something wrong in real life?"
Ning Qingyue waved her hand, panting, "No, no, not real life… it's… the game…"
Ning Qianjun breathed out, somewhat amused, "It's just something in the game. Why are you so worked up? What happened?"
His sister was usually calm, so what's wrong today?
Ning Qingyue finally caught her breath and hurriedly said, "Brother, quickly check the forum, there's a new video of the mysterious NPC!"
Ning Qianjun instinctively opened his game panel, opened the forum, found the video post at a glance, and opened it.
Ning Qingyue stood beside him, fuming, "Zhao Hanyan, that bitch, actually went to seduce the mysterious NPC! And it seems the NPC even assigned tasks to her!"
