Chapter 75 - Mission Summons (1/2)

There seemed to be a problem with the Wild Giant’s mental state. It probably had read too many high school essays, so it liked to think too much, especially when it thought about life and its meaning. Why would a snowman, a Big Boss guarding a cave, think about all this?

Wei Huo wanted to stuff the soul gem back into the giant’s chest, but he was pushed away by the giant. It said, “I feel like my birth, my cultivation, and my ability to enter the Epic stage were all arranged by fate so that I would come to this snowy mountain. It was all for this blooming moment. This is my mission. At the moment, I can feel this mission. This is probably the legendary Mission Summons, right?”

Wei Huo was confused.

Tell me again, what is your mission?

Wei Huo could not help but ask, “Do you know something?”

Indeed, as the Wild Giant had said, its existence had been determined by the game system for the rest of its life. It wanted to guard this snowy mountain. It wanted to fight with the Black Dragon and make the players choose. If the players chose to kill it, it could only be attacked by the Black Dragon and the players before dying and releasing the most beautiful fireworks at the last moment.

That was the fate of NPCs. That was the fate of the Big Boss.

Wei Huo could not help but feel a little sad. A few moments later, he said, “You’re not going to die. Why are you feeling sad? If you don’t like your fate, just leave with me!”

Wei Huo planned to lure the Epic-ranked assassin away, but he had not expected the Wild Giant to smile. It said, “I can’t leave this place. Look, my soul will dissipate as soon as my soul gem is shattered. I’m… about to die.”

Wei Huo was stunned. Indeed, he could see that the snowman’s body was healthy thanks to the Information Feed. However, although it still had a soul, its soul gem shattered after being hit by the Black Dragon.

The Wild Giant looked at the starry sky that was almost covered by dark clouds and asked, “Are you really a human?”

Wei Huo nodded and said, “That’s right, I’m a human. I’m an authentic human.”

The Wild Giant asked, “Can you tell me what the term for ‘starry sky’ is in the human language?”

Wei Huo fell silent. He did not know how the term ‘starry sky’ was translated. Every word he said was automatically translated by the system, and Wei Huo could not turn off the system because he could not find the translation setting.

No matter how many times Wei Huo spoke in the human language, he could not tell the snowman how to say the words ‘starry sky’.

That was why Wei Huo could not speak.

However, the Wild Giant suddenly laughed. “See, you don’t even know how to say that. You’re indeed not human.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Why are you insulting me?

Wei Huo remained silent. He could not answer because he did not know how to explain this to the other party.

I am indeed human, but I really can’t tell you how to say that phrase in Mandarin.

The Wild Giant looked at the starry sky that was gradually covered by dark clouds and started reciting the essay. “The Greatness of Ordinary People by author Wei Huo. A drop of water may be ordinary, but it nourishes an inch of land.”

Wei Huo listened quietly. At that moment, he could not help but think about it. Did I write this essay to influence this snowman and change its fate? Was everything really destined?’

“I was born ordinary, I lived an ordinary life, and I died an ordinary death. Although history does not remember me, I have contributed to it… Friend, can you do me a favor?”

Wei Huo snapped out of his thoughts and asked, “What kind of favor?”
