Chapter 36: Faction NPC(1/2)
"A god?"
Sashan was so shocked that she was speechless by the content of the conversation between Melikai and Wang He just now.
At the same time, she noticed the gaze that was being directed towards her from Melikai's side.
Melika's dark brown eyes were indifferent, majestic, and had a hint of warning. She flinched, not daring to look directly into those eyes.
She recalled her experience of being possessed by the Moon Goddess, and seemed to have decided something. She mustered up the courage and nodded to Melikai.
She wanted to make her stance clear to the god Mielikki.
In the teachings of the Moon Goddess, her followers are required to show friendship and trust to the goddess of the good alignment.
And Melikai is one of the well-known good gods of the nature gods faction.
As a priest and believer, she must abide by this teaching.
Therefore, she decided to bury the secret she just learned about gods in her heart forever.
But in reality, facing such a powerful existence as gods, as an undead, she still felt a hint of instinctive fear.
Wang He naturally discovered their abnormality.
When he and Melika spoke before, Melika spoke words to him that allowed him to discover some clues and make assumptions.
Although gods are extraordinary beings, they still belong to a certain camp.
Belonging to neutrality and kindness means that the concepts and practices you adhere to correspond to it.
At least, that's how Mielikki's avatar in this world behaves.
Obviously, Melikai could use her powerful strength to force and threaten Wang He to serve her.
In order to save the life of Abel, a one-time game character, Wang He will inevitably obey.
Melikai clearly knew this, but she still gave Wang He a chance to choose.
This is the mercy of the good God.
Transactions are generally only conducted between equal parties.
Mielikki regarded him as the object of the deal and kept her unenforceable promise.
So at this moment, Wang He tried to truly treat her as a friend.
Wang He's friendship has nothing to do with identity or status, it is just a pure kindness.
He can chat with the cleaning uncle in the company about family affairs, discuss with the breakfast vendor on the street how to invest and what the stock market is like, and chat with the boss and talk frankly about the company's prospects...
People don't hate him, on the contrary, they are very willing to talk to him.
Because Wang He just listened most of the time.
Everyone who talks to him can see the seriousness and attention on his face.
After talking, they found that Wang He seemed to be able to understand their thoughts.
Wang He spent his life listening, understanding, and analyzing all the information he obtained.
He never considered himself a smart person.
There are so many geniuses in the world.
He is not a genius.
All he can do is keep thinking, keep learning, keep trying, and try to provide rewards to those who have taught him knowledge.
Whether he is at the bottom or at the top, through conversations, he found that everyone has value that is worth learning, understanding or having special significance for him.
Like a sponge, absorbing everything he can.
In order to work and live, he expanded his knowledge, improved his business capabilities, worked overtime day after day, and struggled in this mortal world.
In order to improve his game level, he practiced repeatedly, asked others for help, checked strategies, and searched for information. Once, just to hone his swordsmanship in the game world, he looked for people to compete with others for half a year.
Feeling sad, he continued to summarize.
If he fails, he gets up again.
The accumulation of all this finally brought him together to form what he is now.
He is just a mortal, but at this moment, he is judged by the gods to have extraordinary potential.
Therefore, after understanding Melikai's thoughts and way of doing things, he stepped forward as if nothing had happened, greeted him with a smile as before, and said: "Miss Melikai, don't embarrass my lovely follower too much."
"Sassanne is just a god-fearing mortal like me."
Melika looked at him and said with a half-smile: "Abel, your words do not match your actions."
"But that's fine." She added.
Sashan felt warm in her heart, and Wang He's words calmed down her slightly fearful mood.
She discovered that Wang He, like the Moon Goddess she believed in, had the power to bring inner peace to people.
On the morning of the Fourth Holy Banquet, the players gathered in the center of Dawn City discovered that the NPC Wang He actually appeared in the central square with a group of high-level knights.
This news immediately caused an uproar in the gaming community.
Because of Wang He's previous post in the game community, there is now a trend among the player community of tracking and eavesdropping on key NPC conversations to obtain internal intelligence.
Wang He looked calmly at the players who were staring at him eagerly, as if they had some ideas, but did not dare to come forward due to various reasons.
He is using the belief appraisal technique to inquire about the information of the surrounding players one by one.
Suddenly, he spotted a shining bald head emerging from the crowd.
He remembered that this was not the first time he had seen this bald man.
Wang He recalled that the person was the friend of the contestant who was forced to delete his account due to his arrest and won the title of being trampled five times by unicorns: "Brother Mao".
Maodou, a devout believer in Talos (God of Storms), with a faith value of 133.
"Finally an evil camp was discovered."
Wang He felt happy in his heart, but his face did not change.
Under the gaze of many players, he closed his eyes, opened his arms to face the sky, and raised his head, as if listening to something.
Then not long after, he suddenly opened his eyes and locked his sights on the player named Maodou.
Maodou had been paying attention to Wang He, but now he suddenly found that he was being targeted by Wang He?
He was trembling all over.
"Am I exposed?" He felt guilty and broke into a cold sweat.
He found that Wang He was walking quickly towards him, his black eyes staring at him.
When the player next to him saw this, he quickly ran away and made way for him.
No one wants to provoke this NPC head-on.
Wang He now has an extraordinary reputation among players, and the comments in the gaming community are quite polarized.
One faction simply admires his power and strength and regards him as a major NPC that drives the plot.
Wang He used to be the agent who used his power to defeat the second player in the world instantly, owned a unicorn sacred beast, hosted the game's largest event celebration, and was also the main NPC in the official event promotion video, which was watched by the players.
His popularity right now can be said to be very high.
Especially in the preliminaries of the Four Holy Banquets, the stage play in which he appeared as an evil person made people look forward to the hidden activities in the future.
All this deepened his impression of a mysterious and pious clergyman who showed no mercy to evil.
The other faction is mainly the players who were tricked this time through registration, most of them belong to the evil camp.
The reason was that a player who did not want to be named posted a complaint in the community:
When that player signed up, Wang He easily revealed his identity as an evil faction and was arrested on the spot by the Elf Knight.
But he is also a persistent person who clears the level in one life, and is unwilling to forcefully retreat to the resurrection point.
As a result, he is still being held in prison until now, and it is said that he will be held at least until the end of the celebration.
Although he can go offline when no one is around, he will appear in jail as soon as he comes online.
All he could see was the dark cell and the weak rats that came out from time to time to snatch his food.
Loneliness tortured his spirit.
So he simply stopped going online and posted in the community every day to complain, which aroused the sympathy and resonance of many players who had experienced similar situations.
They encouraged each other in the posts and determined to put Wang He into the same situation whenever they found the opportunity in the future.
Many players who signed up at the scene joined in the fun and responded one after another, complaining about Wang He forcing them to praise the goddess.
Soon after, Wang He was nicknamed "Crazy Believer" by them, and it spread extremely quickly.
Here, Maodou saw that the situation was not good and just wanted to leave.
Several knights from the elves were already one step ahead of Wang He and surrounded him.
As Wang He's assistants and monitors, they have already figured out Wang He's habits these days.
To be continued...
