Chapter 435 - Jigsaw Puzzle

TL: LifeisaJourney

“You guys… Quiet down!” Cai Hao Chen whispered to the other members to quiet down. How could they possibly laugh in a dire situation like this? Hao Chen was shocked by their lack of a sense of danger.

The young lady heard Liu Gan speak, she lifted up her head to look at Liu Gan. Her eyes were completely gray, as if it didn’t have a soul. However, she didn’t answer Liu Gan’s question.

Liu Gan looked around to check for any potential dangers and then asked the young lady once more. “Who are you? And why are you here?”.

It was a huge risk to reveal himself in an open space. If Liu Gan didn’t have the strength to back himself up, he wouldn’t have engaged in such a risky behavior. No one knew who the lady was, so it was hard to say that it was not a trap. If it were any other person, they might fall victim to an ambushing Crocodile.

“I’m looking for my daughter. Her name is Wan'er. Have you seen her?” the lady asked Liu Gan.

“How old is she? what does she look like?” Liu Gan quickly rushed his questions. This situation felt similar to inquiring about a quest in an instance dungeon. You locate a key NPC to finish it. Once the quest was over, you could obtain the reward. Perhaps there was another way to go about killing this Crocodile abomination.

Another possibility was that this was a useful clue to solving the mission for the instance.

“She’s five years old. She has two space buns, she is wearing a red shirt with a white embroidered dress. Do you know where she is?” the young lady asked Liu Gan.

“If I find her, what benefit do I get in return?” Liu Gan asked the lady.

“I… I can give you this,” the young lady pulled out a box from the handbag around her shoulders. On the box, it seems to be a map, like the jigsaw puzzle types.

If the jigsaw puzzle is complete, would it lead to a new clue? Since that the lady had shown him the puzzle box, Liu Gan tried to snatch it out from her hands by force.

In any modern-day online game or RPG, there are side quests that would offer a required item to complete the main quest. Liu Gan decided he would take on the role of stealing from the NPC instead of following the rules. If he could kill this NPC, then the items belonged to him. At least, that was what he wanted to have happened. If the game was fair and just, in its own way, it wouldn’t allow Liu Gan to kill the NPC.

Even if it was just an attempt, Liu Gan still had to try so he would know for next time.

When Liu Gan reached out… he grabbed ahold of nothing. It was as if he was touching air. Liu Gan also tried to grab the young lady’s arm. He was definitely passing through her body like a ghost!

The results were the same as if this was a game. Killing the NPC for the reward was impossible! Liu Gan couldn’t control his anger with this type of gameplay.

“What else can you tell me?” Liu Gan asked for more information, since he couldn’t take the prize from the NPC.
