[Flowing Cool Breeze] was wearing a simple T-shirt with white pants which made him look tall and classy.
He had handsome looks and didn’t look to be that old. At most he was twenty years old.
In holographic games, players could set their own looks or choose to make it similar to their actual looks. [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s in-game looks were probably pretty similar to his actual looks.
She looked at his level. It wasn’t very high and he didn’t really have equipment either. He looked like he had just entered the game.
[Flowing Cool Breeze] hadn’t expected for a woman to be lying here. She was dressed in ancient era clothing, so he knew that she was probably an NPC. However, he still couldn’t help but have his breath taken away when she opened her eyes.
The creators of this game really designed this NPC beautifully.
As Ning Shu and [Flowing Cool Breeze] stared at each other, a prompt suddenly appeared in Ning Shu’s mind. ‘Hero, this humble girl has accidentally sprained her ankle. Please head into the valley to find the herb.’
Hero!?
Ning Shu said stiffly, “Hero, I… this humble girl has accidently sprained her ankle. Could you head into the valley to help this humble girl find an herb called monkshood celestial grass?”
[Flowing Cool Breeze] knew that this was a task issued by the system and immediately accepted it. He turned and entered the valley.
Ning Shu watched as he walked away. This time, she didn’t tell him the precise location of the herb, nor did she tell him that there was a boss guarding the herb, much less about the boss’s weaknesses.
Based on [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s current level, it’d probably be difficult to defeat that boss.
So she crossed her legs to wait for him to come back out.
As she had expected, he soon came back out. She glanced over and found that he had lost three levels from being killed by the boss. His level wasn’t high from the start, and now he had dropped levels on top of that.
Ning Shu inwardly felt very refreshed as she asked, “Hero, you weren’t able to bring the herb back?”
[Flowing Cool Breeze] didn’t speak. It was clear that he wasn’t in a good mood. After finally finding that monkshood celestial grass, just as he was about to pick it, a giant spider with leather-like skin suddenly appeared. The spiderweb it sprayed instantly locked him in place and he couldn’t even fight back.
For the sake of increasing the game’s realism, the game had set sensory simulations which included the sense of pain, so it had been extremely painful when the spider stabbed him with its poisonous fangs.
It was extremely painful and at the same time, terrifying. He had been seriously worried that he would really die.
After finally getting free from the spider web, he ran away from there.
At this moment, when he heard this NPC ask him if he had managed to gather the herb, he felt his face burn with embarrassment. Even though the other party was just an NPC, he still felt humiliated.
Especially when the NPC was such a beautiful woman. He wiped at his face, then said, “The boss guarding the location’s too strong.”
At this time, another prompt appeared in Ning Shu’s mind. ‘Hero, it’s no matter. That eight-clawed poisonous spider is a ferocious monster, but I believe that you will definitely be able to gather the monkshood celestial grass and save me. This humble girl believes in you, Hero. You’ll definitely be able to do it.’
Ning Shu: …
F*ck. The script was seriously disgusting.
