Chapter 469 (2/2)

As he was currently intoxicated and seemed to have actually entered the game world, for the first time, Zha Feng felt that he had really gone a little overboard in creating these little critters that attacked in a group…

However, just as he was resigned to the death-respawn-repeat cycle, a plainly dressed young girl appeared. The most noticeable part of her body was the sword attached to her waist.

The sword looked like a sword that was used for performance arts. It did seem threatening in the least. However, when the girl drew the sword, the entire world turned into the dawning of a new day!

Without hesitation, the girl rushed into the group of undead curs. She danced swiftly with her sword, slashing through them like the wind. She had put her life on the line to protect a complete stranger.

At that moment, Zha Feng’s eyes saw nothing but the girl who danced ever so gracefully with her sword. He had no idea why such a character would appear in his own game world. A phrase that he had always lived by was precisely this —- —- you cannot be selfish to the point where you think that others are not selfish.

Out of all the NPCs that he has created, almost every single one had been self-serving. They probably only treated the players amicably when there was an equivalent exchange. For example, the sword god Li Xiye indeed acknowledged the potential of the players. He also believed that the players could serve as his sword’s whetstone. Thus, he would not mind helping some players at certain times, but he never did it for free.

Other NPCs were worse than Li Xiye. They treated players like tools. When they have drained all the value out of the player, they eventually discarded them

All in all, this world was filled with wickedness. Fortunately, the players were only playing a game; it was not the real world. Such a world would have only driven the players to insanity!

For players, the more depressing the game was, the more they wanted to use violence to rebel and destroy. It was addictive!

However, in such a dark, miserable, depressing world, someone that actually took the initiative to come out and save the other players had appeared. Wasn’t this heartwarming?

In an attempt to save him, Zha Feng watched the gray-clad girl get injured before his own eyes. Then, he did something that many players would do —- —-

Firstly, he saved the game file. Then, he lobbed off the head of the young girl who had just rescued him, to see if she had any loot. The sword hanging off the girl’s waist was gorgeous. It was most probably a godly weapon…

He read its flavor text —- —-

Flying Rainbow Sword (+0), a sword used to perform sword dances, not designed for killing.

It was clean equipment[2].
