Chapter Ninety-Three

"What? Are you surprised? ”

Jescord stared straight at him, calm as a lake. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's a bit ......"

It would be deceptive not to be surprised at all, but Ann was already numb to the appearance of special NPCs.

From the original dealer to the Shadow Order and the Dark Invaders, and now Jace Kod, he has indeed seen quite a few NPCs who are aware of the player's existence.

There seems to be some rules between these special NPCs that Ann Yizhi is not clear about, and at first he thought it was strength, but the Shadow Demon in the Resident Evil copy made him veto the idea.

Don't look at the current An Yizhi against the Shadow Demon Nine times out of ten he was abused to the street, in fact, it won't be long before he can fulfill what he once said, and when he is about level 30, he can beat the Shadow Demon.

Later, he considered the particularity, don't you see that all the special NPCs are the type with names and surnames...... And the ancient dragon Bradrick doesn't make sense, it obviously doesn't know what the player is.

Special NPCs are always a thorn in Ann's heart, and it's really puzzling that the game company sets it up like this.

"Heh......"

Jace Kode smiled and put on a ...... Lewd expressions?

"Surprised, didn't you know that John's child was a woman? Tsk, she's so well hidden, even I can't see the size."

An Yi fingered: "......"

Compared with the special NPC identities that are not uncommon, what makes Ann even more speechless is Jace Kode's changeable painting style. For a while, it looks like a hidden black person who retreats behind the scenes, and for a while, it looks like an old man who is still staring at the chest and ass of other people's little girls, and sometimes he suddenly puts away his lewd face and behaves very wise and serious.

"When you get old, you have to have some fun for yourself"

Seeing Ann's depressed expression, Jascord laughed:

"I used to be as boring as you imagined, with a straight face all day long, and talking to anyone was like guessing a riddle, as if it wasn't good enough to say it clearly"

With that, he clapped his hands, and out of thin air a wine bottle and two goblets:

"Some? I'm sure there is no such wine in your world."

The wine is emerald green, a bit like mugwort in color, and has a special vanilla aroma...... What's even more terrifying is that after this thing is poured into the glass, it actually tries to climb back into the bottle!

Ann Yizhi is not very good at wine, and besides, this thing doesn't look like wine. More than that, he cared more about Jaskode's phrase 'your world'.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

An Yizhi couldn't help but ask.

"Strange? Why? ”

Jescord shook his glass, and the 'liquor' that had just climbed halfway down to the bottom of the glass fell back to the bottom of the glass, and the vanilla smell was even stronger:

"I've lived so long that I can't even remember how many years, and one of the benefits of a long life is that you can go wherever you want to go" took a sip, sighed comfortably, and then said: "Have you ever seen a lava purgatory that always rains fire?" Have you ever seen an ocean where you can breathe freely? Have you ever seen a little man living in a sphere again? He gestured the size of a watermelon: "Their world is so big, and they are still living happily." Oh, young man, for me, your presence is far from strange."

"......"

Your world is false!

When the words came to his mouth, he was swallowed back by An Yiyi.

"I know, you want to say it's all fiction, right?"

It is said that people are old and fine, and Jescord knew what he wanted to say as soon as he saw Ann's expression:

"What is reality? What is false again? I don't know what other people think, but I don't care. For you this is just a playground, and you come here for adventure, excitement that you have never experienced before, and for us...... Well...... You call NPCs? Well, for us, this is the world we have always lived in, and we remember everything from birth to growth and finally to death, and I ask you, isn't this a 'real'? ”

An pointed and said hurriedly: "But it's all set, I've never met John before, but I'm her best friend in his memory, doesn't that mean ......?"

"No, no, no, you don't know. You ......"

Jescord stared at Ann Yizhi, and his deep eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and went straight to Ann's real body in reality:

"Ann Yizhi, can you be sure that you have never met John? I don't think so, maybe you don't have any memory of this, but whose 'body' are you using? ”

An Yizhi was shocked when he heard this, could it be ......

"There seems to be a buzzword...... Crossing, yes, that's it. The original An Yizhi was just an unknown passerby, and when you, An Yizhi in the real world, arrived, he replaced his existence"

"You don't think it's creepy?"

If Ann Yizhi lived in a world where someone could cross his upper body at any time, how would it feel......

"Haha, you really believe it"

An Yi fingered: "......"

Damn, I want to hit someone.

"It's not as complicated as you think, the existence of what you call the system is almost equivalent to the embodiment of fate for us, everything you think the system arranges, in our opinion, is actually a choice made by ourselves, according to the words of the cultivators of a certain world, the system is the way of heaven...... No, no, no, this analogy is not quite right, or it is more correct to call the world corrective force or the rules and laws."

"Do you still know about cultivators?"

The mage with a fantasy background actually said the word cultivator, and An Yizhi felt that he was looking at a fantasy ......

"Of course," Jeskode smiled proudly, "Kid, I've eaten more salt than you've ever eaten, I've traveled longer than you've ever seen, I've seen a lot, and naturally I've dealt with cultivators for a while, and they're a very interesting group of people." You know, it's a very long process for us NPCs to learn spells, and compared to cultivators, I suddenly feel that practicing spells is very easy."

Having poured himself another glass, Jescord continued:

"The cultivator's entry is very slow, and the combat effectiveness of beginners is not strong. In a head-on battle, a young mage who has practiced spells for 10 years is enough to deal with a cultivator who has practiced for a hundred years. When compared to the middle-level combat effectiveness, the cultivator is slightly higher."

"So magic is stronger?"

"No" Jaskode shook his head and said: "It's not the Fa that is strong, but the people, and when you reach my level, you will understand that the so-called return of all Fa is actually the same end point for everyone." The difference is that cultivators have a slow start but a solid foundation, and they have dual cultivation of physical mana, and it is rare for them to be killed carelessly in the process of growing up, but mages are not, which you should deeply understand."

An Yizhi nodded in agreement.

If someone sneaks up on him, before he has time to unleash his defenses, a melee fighter can kill him with a casual slash.

"The most enviable thing is that mortals only have a lifespan of a hundred years, even the elves and dwarves of the long-lived species are only 500 years at most, and those cultivators casually pull out a Yang Yuan that is more than 2,000 years old, and there is no more valuable wealth than time on the road of studying spells. You see, everyone knows that generalist mages are the most powerful, and they are proficient in everything. But the truth is that they only refine one or two departments, and many generalist mages are often white-bearded old men like me, and many more return to the Styx before they can find a way to prolong their lives."

Jescord sighed, poured another big sip of wine, and squeezed his eyebrows for a long time before swallowing:

"Speaking of which, you players are more enviable, you can learn what you want to see at a glance, and you can't beat it to death, if I had this ability when I was young, now you see me should be very young, right, it's not me who blows, I've had more women than you've ever seen, but unfortunately they all died early"

An pointed to the black lines on his face, and said that the essence of the color blank of this product came out.

"When I'm older, I like to think cranky, where did I just go? Oh, the corrective force"

Jescord patted his head and remembered what he had just said:

"It's like a law, you don't usually notice it, but it's there. Most people don't realize that they live in ignorance and are happy. But there are always miracles outside the rules, and we can perceive the existence of the rules, and these 'miracles' don't want to resist it, because it doesn't make sense, and that's what we choose......"

Listening to Jace Code's story, Ann pointed to a sudden thought of a stalk.

Want to understand the meaning of life? Want to ...... Alive?

Whether intelligent life counts as life or not has been argued in the era of An Yizhi and them, and the two sides have been arguing endlessly. But few people have paid attention to one thing...... What do people think?

If these NPCs don't feel how bad their situation is, why do they have to make changes?

An Yizhi is a selfish person.

Regardless of what others say about him, he knows it himself.

He is cold-blooded, unprofitable, wary of anyone, and ignores the lives and deaths of others, especially those who have nothing to do with him.

It was once said that people in the network expose their true side.

That's right, in the game, Ann's character is clearer than in reality.

He can ignore the survivors who are surrounded and eaten by zombies, or he can use any NPC to achieve his own goals without any psychological pressure, and if necessary, he can wantonly slaughter innocents as a reward.

He's not the brave and invincible kind of good man, and never will be.

But......

Maybe you should change your attitude towards the game?

"Don't you taste this wine? Tasted very good"

Lifting the wine glass with a heart, the emerald green liquor flowed into the mouth, and suddenly it was filled with the spicy aroma of alcohol and grass. Exhaling lightly, An Yizhi felt as if his whole body had been washed, and it was extremely refreshing.

[Warning: You have consumed an undocumented drink, the effect is unknown]

"Look, like I said, it tastes great, sometimes you just have to be bold and try it"

Pun intended!

"Thank you, I feel better"

During this time, An Yizhi has been thinking about the meaning of the existence of special NPCs, which makes him want to give up the pit and stop playing.

"Your doubts are solved, it's my turn, can you tell me about your world? I heard you can all go to other planets? ”

"Uh...... Well, it's just small talk anyway"

Next, Ann Yizhi told Jace Kode about some very common things in the real world, and the old and the young chatted about homely things.

Jascord was surprised and asked, 'Do you have a vehicle that you can walk on without magic?' ''Can you get in touch with something called a phone no matter how far away?'' No magic? ''Electricity?'' What is that? Lightning? It's a genius idea'

It made Ann feel like he was teaching science to a medieval time-traveler, and of course, he also heard a lot of Jascord's experiences during his adventures in the multiverse, and wrote them down...... These are all pieces of information that may be used in the quest in the future.

The more they talked, the more they talked, and finally when the wine bottle bottomed out, the two stopped talking.

"Ann Yizhi, do you know why I left you alone?"

"I don't know"

Jescord must have seen more than one player, and he can ask any player about these topics, as long as he gives some benefits......

"You're special"

This is the second time that an NPC has said that An Yizhi is very special, and the last time he was a powerful devil.

"Is it a soul again?"

"Hmm...... That's right, in the words of your players, your mystical power stats are relatively high."

“……”

Feelings, 'your soul is special' is what it means!

"But I appreciate your persistence more"

Putting away the drinking utensils, Jescord drank a little too much, and said with a tongue:

"You insist on yourself in a world without magic, looking for traces of magic, and many people think you have a brain disease, but you are not discouraged and still go your own way. In fact, it's not your fault, ordinary people pursue their dreams, and most social groups praise each other, you just choose a dream that is difficult to achieve and is not understood. But dreams are dreams and should not be blamed."

An Yizhi touched his chin a little embarrassed, it was the first time he had heard someone describe the second disease as so fresh and refined......

"You remind me of an old friend who is similar to you, and who still talks about alchemy changing lives, like the planes that are common in your world, and he used to talk to people. In the same way, others think that he is dreaming, how can ordinary people fly in the sky without the blessing of magic? Huh, the result? You and I know that. I see in you the same persistence as him, regardless of any gossip, and finally getting stronger and stronger in the process of chasing his dreams, and the funny thing is that it is not his intention to become stronger, haha"

After laughing for a while, Jeskode said:

"Okay, it's not too early, you have more adventures to experience, you don't need to chat with me, an old man, I'm not a beauty with long breasts and thighs"

“……”

"Hmm...... According to you, you should get a reward for playing a dungeon, and I was going to give you a gift, but let me tell me first, what do you think is the most important thing for a mage? ”

"Wisdom?"

"Stupid! Haven't you heard of one force down ten! Magic, of course! ”

No matter what its intrigues, there is no problem that a big fireball can't solve. If there is a ...... Well! Just one more shot!

It's simple, it's crude, it's effective.

An Yi fingered: "......"

Why don't you play your cards according to the routine......

"How about this gift as a ritual that increases the capacity of your mana? It's perfect for you."

Hearing this, he had just lost two pieces of equipment with the maximum value of blue, and An Yi pointed out that he needed to expand the blue bar, the more the better.

"However, I've just drunk a lot of alcohol, so it's not appropriate for me to preside over the ceremony."

Jescord gave a playful expression:

"Don't worry, I've got a good candidate here, I'm sure I'm the right fit"

"Who?"

Could it be the examiner of the Tower of the Stars?

"Oh Boom Rang Gang ~ Boom Rang Gang ~ Boom Rang Gang ~ Gang Cha"

The out-of-tune humming suddenly appeared near what should have been only two people.

"Oh Bang ~ Oh Bang ~ Haha, my good apprentice, the teacher came to see you"

Nikolai? Meyer!
