Chapter 34: The x.x.xX System and ‘Libido’ Stat
Chen Zi Han secretly whispered to you, “The way of speech such as the one we are using right now can only be done under the premise that both parties possess the cultivation of the heart. This way of speech is different from norm, and thus will not be overheard by other people.”
Yue Qiang understood that this was probably the game world’s way of rationalizing ‘Whisper’. After all, if even the NPCs in this game could whisper, then the fact that it had a logical explanation behind it was nothing to be surprised about.
Chen Zi Han whispers to you: “What this old man is trying to say is, we are not cornered into a dead end yet. If young sir can escape this place by yourself and bring reinforcements the Mo Family’s Great Camp one hundred kilometers away, you may very well be able to save us all!”
The Mo Family’s Great Camp? Yue Qiang felt like he had seen this name somewhere.
“Although everyone in the village is prepared to face their deaths a long time ago, we also left some leeway to deal with this kind of situation. In my opinion, young sir is equipped with both courage and resourcefulness. You are the best candidate to break through this situation.”
Like h.e.l.l I’m courageous and resourceful; you gave me this quest simply because I’m the player. Yue Qiang thought. However, he suddenly noticed an important fact from the old man’s words. Could this courage and resourcefulness be some kind of hidden stat attributes? He wondered if they had any connection with his Charisma. Perhaps this courage and resourcefulness and other imaginary concepts were in fact included under Charisma.
Chen Zi Han continued to instruct Yue Qiang by whisper, “On the surface, I am pa.s.sing you the quest reward. There is also a letter that I’ve written myself in this quest reward. Pa.s.s it to the Camp Chief of the Mo Family’s Great Camp when the time comes. He will know what to do.”
After sending these whispers, a dialog box appeared above Chen Zi Han’s head, “Young sir has killed many enemies. This old man is very pleased…”
The old man went on to speak many streamlined quest lines pretentiously, but his eyes had glanced sideways at the house’s entrance non-stop. Someone was probably guarding outside, and these words were all spoken for the benefit of the guarding Zhao Soldiers. His gaze went back and forth; he had even winked at Yue Qiang after finished glancing at the window, filled with glee that was unlike his age.
This game is seriously getting more and more real, I can’t believe it can even reflect the NPCs pitting their wits against each other. Looks like the blue progress bar mentioned in the ‘Game Manual’ was no joke at all.
While nodding and responding to the village elder Chen Zi Han’s words, he opened the quest reward window at the same time.
There were two extra freely distributed stat points other than the original two of the reward. The explanation stated that he had acquired these through successfully helping the two NPCs completing their quests and not losing a single person from Yue Village, so now Yue Qiang had received a total of 4 freely distributed stat points. He did not plan to use these stat points immediately. After all, there was the potential to expand his stat attributes in this game. Right now what he needed to do was gather more information and plan out his next upgrade carefully.
There was also a letter in the quest reward. It was the letter handwritten by Yue Village’s village elder.
System Message: This item can trigger a quest. Will you open it?
He definitely could not open this right now.
Yue Qiang placed the letter into the deep end of his backpack and headed towards the door.
When he pushed open the door and went out, he realized that it the sky was already filled with bright stars.
It was late at night.
Every time he logged into the game and exited the house, Yue Qiang had the illusion that he was transported into another world. The sceneries inside the computer screen were growing more and more realistic and attractive. Although he was now a prisoner and his house had become a prison, this realistic beauty remained just as lovely as ever.
Perhaps it was because the blue progress bar had filled up some more.
Right now, there were two fully armed Zhao Soldiers standing at the left and right of the door. Their gazes were even and their faces were expressionless. They did not show any visible reactions other than laying their halberds horizontally across the front of the door, indicating that he could only stand in front of the entrance.
Their attentions were not paying any attention to the front door in the first place. Instead, they were using indifferent expressions to mask their concentrated and even gazes.
Yue Qiang curiously followed along the lines of the two Zhao Soldier gazes and discovered a most interesting thing.
