5 You Gotta Be Kidding Me (1/2)
The journey from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain took Roland only ten minutes. Many people were waiting for him down there with smiles of amusement. Some of them were even gesturing to show the size and shape of a certain organ on Roland, raising the audience's chuckle.
Roland's face was burning, but he pretended to be cool and passed them. He could feel their eyes on his back even though he was dozens of meters away.
It was certainly not the best experience for a beginner of the game.
If it had happened in reality, Roland would probably have to move to a different city, but since he was in a game… Embarrassing as it might be, he felt a lot more relaxed when he remembered that they were all NPCs.
However, those people's response was truly logical. As the game had claimed, every NPC was as intelligent as a real person.
Roaming the street, Roland observed the busy folk around him. Some were walking in a hurry, some were peddling their wares, and some were carrying heavy bags for other people.
All of them seemed to be ordinary people. All of them were dark-skinned and in linen clothes. Occasionally, younger women with fairer skin walked on the street.
Compared to them, Roland was actually the strangest one.
He was also wearing gray and brown linen clothes, but his skin was even fairer than that of any woman. It was obvious that he had never suffered.
Therefore, other people stared at him anywhere he went.
Ignoring people's judgmental eyes, Roland finally made it to the bridge. He had remembered the basic streets of this town when he was on the mountaintop, so he did not have to ask the way.
The stone bridge was broad and straight. On its two sides was the glittering lake. When the damp wind over the lake touched his ears, he felt like he was flying.
Roland couldn't help but gaze at the rippling lake that looked like a sapphire on top of the rail. He could see the whole lake from the mountaintop, but now that he was on the bridge, the lake seemed to be endless.
On the boats far away, the fishermen were trawling while singing songs.
From behind the bridge came three kids, two boys and a girl. They were around seven, and each of them was carrying a basket. In patched clothes, the snotty children hopped to Roland's back.
They pointed at Roland and laughed at the same time.
At this moment, Language Proficiency was not over yet, and Roland could understand them.
”Mom says that he loves being naked.”
”Grandpa says that there may be something wrong with his head.”
”Dad says that he was trying to seduce a woman. What is seduce?”
Roland turned around and looked at the kids helplessly.
Wow…
