LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 72 - Kill This NPC and Loot Her!
Don’t let A Silly Cutie’s appearance fool you; she’s actually quite resilient on the inside.
From her previous reluctance to drink water to her conversations with Natalie, Jiang Cheng could see it.
Perhaps her talents aren’t exceptional, but she’s willing to endure hardships and possesses qualities like patience, perseverance, determination, and a willingness to learn that many lack.
In her, Jiang Cheng sees shades of Qian Shanxue.
Perhaps one day, under his guidance, A Silly Cutie could truly rise to become the thirteenth god in the gaming world.
But it all depends on her own efforts.
Jiang Cheng can’t afford to be soft-hearted.
*Squeak, squeak…*
The wooden cart in A Silly Cutie’s hands made unpleasant sounds.
Clad in a red robe trimmed with gold, she dragged two skeletons through the forest.
Another skeleton walked beside her, driving her forward. Such a sight was far from inconspicuous.
A mage of unparalleled beauty reduced to a cart-puller, and she was pulling two skeletons no less.
This immediately piqued the curiosity of countless players, thinking that perhaps a hidden task was about to be triggered.
Along the way, players frequently approached to inquire if there were any quests to undertake.
“Excuse me, do you have any quests for me?”
“Hello, is there anything you need help with?”
“Get out of the way, let me through. Do you need help pulling the cart?”
“Hey, beauty, want me to help you get rid of these damn skeletons?”
Curious players kept an eye on Jiang Cheng and A Silly Cutie, hoping to catch something from them.
But Zhang Mengmeng had no time to pay attention to them.
“Damn, such a high and mighty NPC, totally ignoring people.”
“Yeah, so high and mighty. But that robe she’s wearing, blood-red with gold trim, must be Legendary, right?”
“Sigh, I had to scavenge for even a pair of basic boots, and here she is, an NPC, dressed so well.”
“Weird, why does that skeleton look familiar?”
Zhang Mengmeng had been walking for an hour now, and new players kept joining them, whispering behind their backs.
Jiang Cheng didn’t drive them away but let Zhang Mengmeng face them calmly.
To Jiang Cheng, this was just a minor scene, reminiscent of his days in Mythic.
Having won the championship at the global World Championships for three consecutive years, more than two billion players watched him!
He could still maintain a calm demeanor.
As a master, it’s not only important to peak in skills but also to maintain the right mindset.
During battles, if you can’t calmly analyze and predict your opponent’s actions, you’re inadequate.
So, he had A Silly Cutie pull the cart not only to practice her steps but also to get her used to being scrutinized and to practice her ability to withstand pressure.
Clearly, A Silly Cutie was doing well.
However, Blood Raven, sitting on the cart, seemed quite anxious…
Because he actually let the protagonist pull the cart for him…
Isn’t this ridiculous?
Judging by his master’s gaze, his future days might not be easy!
“Go this way,” Jiang Cheng commanded, leaning his spear against the ground and directing A Silly Cutie.
While training their minds and steps, Jiang Cheng was also practicing his and A Silly Cutie’s synergy.
He could have written on the ground to communicate with her, but he didn’t.
Writing on the ground could never match the speed of gestures and verbal communication.
Just like when he trained Qian Shanxue.
In the later stages of training, a wave of his hand or a glance, any gesture, and Qian Shanxue would immediately understand his intentions.
Jiang Cheng believed that A Silly Cutie could do the same…
“Damn, why are we following along like idiots? She clearly has no intention of acknowledging us, right?”
“Yeah, we’re acting like fools, following for so long, and she doesn’t even give us a glance. Am I playing the game, or is the game playing me?”
“I suggest we all, together, kill this NPC and loot her gear!”
Listening to their conversation, Jiang Cheng’s heart stirred, “Perfect targets for real combat practice.”
