Chapter 60 - Are you the chosen hero?

Gu Fei had been closely observing his surroundings ever since he arrived at Yeguang Village; he only felt co that no other players were around

Al the irrelevant ones that they had asked for directions previously, began to take note of his presence Gu Fei became even more convinced that Eddie’s E their reaction He braced hi at him

And yet, that particular NPC walked away indifferently even before Gu Fei could get near hi to keep hi into contact with Gu Fei

Gu Fei refused to accept this outcome, so he sped up and chased after the NPC The NPC was obviously not prograht up to him shortly He swiftly blocked the NPC’s path forward and was just about to say so, when the NPC avoided eye contact and headed another way

“How very odd!” Xiaoyu found the sight very intriguing As Xiaoyu caught up to the NPC as well, she asked, “Do you knohere Mr Adrian is?”

“Mr Adrian is the wealthiest e He lives just beside the church It’s that mansion over there,” the NPC wore a friendly save Xiaoyu detailed infornoring you?” Xiaoyu scratched her head

“Must have so to do withon the sa in his head Parallel World’s NPCs did not possess sentience like hurammed to function in certain ways So when this particular villager was confronted with inquiries fro the exact answer However, when Gu Fei was the one speaking to hi at his hands, only one reaction would surface: the NPC turning around and avoiding all contacts with Gu Fei

This was a clear indication for Gu Fei that the NPCs were avoiding hi the NPC alone, the latter stopped walking at a certain distance and cautiously stole glances at him Gu Fei looked around and saw that every NPC behaved in a similar way Fortunately, a small portion of these NPCs remained the saht of an idea and quickly approached one such NPC As expected, the NPC did not avoid Gu Fei The NPC even looked him in the eye as Gu Fei arrived by his side

“Any idea on who Eddie is?” Gu Fei asked

“No, but you should try asking the village chief He is knowledgeable on a lot of things,” the NPC answered

Gu Fei felt astounded for a moment Afterward, he looked for another NPC with the same mannerism and received the sae chief?” Gu Fei asked a follow-up question

“Edwin is our village chief He lives in a small hut by the woods,” The NPC raised his hand and pointed at a direction as he answered Gu Fei

“Ah, you ed to obtain the answer to your question! That’s how it is with quests As long as you ask every NPC, there will surely be someone who knows the answer,” the experienced Xiaoyu lectured Gu Fei

While the ical Gu Fei obtained the answer by asking the right NPCs after he had observed their different reactions As for Xiaoyu, she obtained the answer to her question not by observing the NPCs’ different reactions but by straightforwardly asking everyone available The NPCs were either friendly or hostile toward Gu Fei

Why was the situation like this? It was probably so crucial to the current quest

Gu Fei could not think of any valid reason at the iven by the previous NPCs and visit the village chief in a s the hut, they knocked on its door A bearded old ray hair opened the door and caa It would have been bizarre to hear about an old ames were usually old-fashioned, stubborn, timid, and clueless Once in a while, a feise ones with short lifespan would appear Their roles involved either sacrificing their lives for plot advanceonists These were all coe Chief Edwin, do you know of a guy called Eddie?” Gu Fei asked with anticipation He suddenly realized that doing quests could be very exciting due to this feeling of anticipation

“Eddie? He’s a nice young e before,” Chief Edwin answered

“He’s dead,” Gu Fei said sorrowfully

Chief Edas stunned, “Then what – what should we do now?”

“Is there anything that I can help you with?” Gu Fei asked a cliché question

“Who are you by the way?” Chief Edwin replied with a question
