Chapter 7: Who Must I Kill to Meet That Guy

The sleepy girl woke up and rubbed her eyes softly

A couple days earlier, she had been working hard without any rest The reason for that was her grandfather She didn't kno he did, but Beginner Building had become an isolate place because of him There had been rumors about you would be killed by a NPC if you're careless or about their slogan ”We, wise and lovely NPC, welco totally fake

She'd had to put a lot of effort into bringing players to use Beginner Building's services again She had advertised, cleared works, planned a n, and felt so exhausted to the point that she'd had to secretly take a nap in her player service room

When she looked around, she was startled that there was a youngin the room She was shocked because, normally, if she didn't allow, anyone would be unable to enter this room This actually was the main reason why she chose to nap in this roo man's eyes opened

”Oh, I see that you are awake now, Miss Lucy,” the reeted her

'Hmm? This person knows me?' Lucy now pondered where she had met him

Sila saw the woman's confused reaction and felt unsure he just mistook someone else for Lucy or not, since he had never met Lucy before

”Are you not Lucy, Crow's niece?”

”Oh, sorry I arandfather's acquaintance?”

”We once talked when I used this place's service”

Sila started telling Lucy how he'd met Crow He also used this chance to ask for information that Crow had irresponsibly told him, ”I don't know too Go find out about that yourself” with Lucy; which she could answer them perfectly, lived up to the title 'wise and lovely NPC'

”I should take o out of this room?” asked Sila

Lucy waved her hand Then, the door was opened

”It's our pleasure to serve you, sir,” said Lucy with a smile

Sila said thanks and stepped out of the roo Town'stoward a restaurant just as thehiame, I only acquainted myself with Miss Muay at Card Shop, Mister Crow, the man in Wuxia's clothes, and Miss Lucy, didn't I?'

He began to guess identity of the sender Miss Muay was NPC so she shouldn't have any reason to send hione back to Madman Valley already The man in Wuxia's clothes was also out of the list since they two didn't even have a proper conversation As for Lucy, he'd just e

'I'roup of people tightly gathered on the street, blocking his path The town only had one main road, so if he planned to visit a restaurant, he would have to go through

He peeked at the situation over the crowd's shoulders and found that there were threewoman

Sila had a principle not to interfere with other people's business The world is cruel like that The strong devours the weak, the wolves hunt the rabbits If you don't want to be hunted, then don't be a rabbit Only strength will ht be another story if those two in corner were soht But since they didn't look weak, Sila had more reason to not intervene Most i by situation, the incident would co woh the people in other side were injured too, they were still getting the upper hand since they had ive up and hand us a 'Serpent Heart' obediently” The brutal man who seemed to be the boss of the side of three people said

”My companions and I hunted for this iteive it to you Not tohere Great White Serpent was a o But since it wasn't fully mature, its heart wouldn't contain any special effect We had patiently waited for it to grow up, but then your party snatched away our prey We had invested a lot of resources into feeding it, so we are the rightful one here to obtain its heart”

”But e said ere going to hunt it, you guys said we could take anything if on,” shouted the young woman, ”then what is this? When we actually successfully hunted it down, you guys are trying to plunder our loot Is this an action of a righteous side!?”

'A righteous side, huh? Are these bandit-looking guys really being considered as a justice side?'

Sila couldn't iood men no matter how he looked at them, either appearance-wise or action-wise

Sila kept waiting but both sides were still shouting at each other, stating they were righteous by various reasons However, Sila kneell that both sides were trying to recover the for an opportunity to strike Although the conversation was ongoing, if one side scrambled, that side would be attacked ih this crowd anyway, Sila then inquired the situation fro bro, could you please tellon here?”

The inner Clothes and coame and about this incident They then enjoyably explained aroup of three bandit-looking o But since it'd been still i here ht to increase its abilities and growth They'd let it fought against several Squire Rank wolves in level 20 by catching the wolves and releasing them in Great White Serpent's territory

Nevertheless, this , the party of those two currently cornered people, which their group originally had consisted of seven people before, had traveled to Great White Serpent's territory and e roup's level and found that all roup had been so sure that this party couldn't possibly kill the Great White Serpent, which was a ant group passed through

However, contrary to the savagemethod of this team of seven people, Great White Serpent had been killed Then, the savage group had rushed into the battle field to loot dropped items, and been able to slay five persons of the opposite teaht

The team of seven, which theirScroll to escape to Beginning Town But the savage gang had gone after theht continued in this place as Sila noitnessed

Sila could hear one person saying that Serpent Heart was an iteht if one's level reach 1,000

About Rank, Sila had heard from Lucy that, in Monster Soul, both player and th froht, Marquis, Lord, to Emperor Rank Each rank had level cap at 1,000; and when one was promoted, one's level would be at 1 of the new rank

With the ability to promote rank, Serpent Heart was considered a very iold coins It's no wonder why both groups tried to claiet it

Now, Sila wasfor him that he had a principle not to interfere in others' affair, but why these people just stood here and did nothing? If Serpent Heart was truly that precious, there should be many people here anted to snatch it themself In fact, it shouldn't be weird at all if soed into the battle

Sila stated this curious opinion out, and there's someone answered him

”Little bro, it's normal that no one would dare to interfere in the affairs of Heaven Dragon guild”

”Heaven Dragon guild?” Sila frowned He thought he had heard this na uild established by Montra, the one who entitled as Magic Eed to be an expressionless one If there's someone who truly knew him here, one would i to suppress the anger inside of him

The cro Sila became silent and misunderstood that uild since he was a new player So they started explaining

”Montra is held up as the strongest player in the game Because in War Event last year, Four Eic Emperor, Lone Wolf: Qi Emperor, Zero: Shadow Emperor, and Cross: Sword Emperor; clashed, and the winner of that event was Montra Since then, Montra is hailed as the strongest player, and his Heaven Dragon guild becauild with ahteous side and ah He circulated ”Qi of Little Fish” and h the crowd as if he's a little fish swih a fishnet

Finally, he entered the battle field, receiving everyone's attention

Sila noearing a Beginner Clothes in Chinese style that had long sleeves down to both hands, covering all his arh, they wouldn't notice that his right-hand fingertips weren't looked like those of a human

This outward appearance of Sila noas due to Lucy's recoht arlance at it
