Daoist, Zhenshanhe!

Snowflakes fluttered on the streets, perfectly and harmoniously unified with the unique architectural style of Hercules City. The unique beauty of the town was as beautiful as a painting. Gu Shubai walked along the path In the past, before reaching the position mentioned by the old man, I saw an old figure standing in the snow waiting for his arrival from a distance.

Gu Shubai walked over quickly and said, "I'm sorry, I was delayed on the way." Gu Shubai, who has always been indifferent, has been playing Wan Gu for so many years, and he is still not used to the NPC settings with too high AI in the game world. The mission was completed within the mission time limit, but he still felt guilty seeing the old gentleman standing in the snow waiting for him.

The old man waved his hand and said, "I made it difficult for you. Today is your birthday, and you need to reunite with your family, but my legs can't move anymore. Thank you for being willing to buy something for my old bone. You can eat these beef jerky, I marinate them myself, and the young people in the neighborhood like it very much.”

Gu Shubai put away the beef jerky that can replenish a small amount of physical strength, and sent the dried fruit pie to the old man, "It's not cold yet, let's go back while it's hot."

"Okay, thank you, young man." The old man smiled kindly. He put the box of dried fruit pies in his clothes and held them carefully. Blowing in, the thin body of the old man looked thinner and thinner.Gu Shubai looked worried.

The old man turned and walked, but his direction did not seem to be the way home, but to another place.

The figure staggering away in the snow made Gu Shubai think of his grandma. Both he and Gu Shuyi's parents died early, and it was the lonely grandma who brought them up, but the frail and sick old man could not survive Gu Shu. Bai was ten years old and died under the torment of illness.

Regarding grandma's impression, what Gu Shubai remembers most clearly is the back that goes out to sell vegetables every day, and also the back that has withstood countless wind and snow for them.

Gu Shubai pursed his lips, he quickly caught up with the old man, and said, "It's getting late, I'll go with you."

"Thank you, kind young man." There was a warm smile on his ravine-covered old face.

Gu Shubai didn't know why he said such a thing to an NPC. He knew that there was a pile of data in front of him, and he knew that this was a fabricated character, but he couldn't help but say such childish words .

But he didn't regret it. He accompanied the old man and walked step by step into the woods on one side until he stopped in front of a tombstone.

The old gentleman looked at the tombstone with lingering eyes, and the infinite emotion in his deep eyes was undisguised. He sighed and said, "My wife, it's another year's birthday. Is this the dried fruit pie you like to eat, or that But I have some bad news here, so don’t be angry when you hear it.” The old man seemed really worried about his deceased wife’s anger and sadness, and whispered: “I heard that the store has not been doing well recently. Well, it may be closed. In the coming year, maybe we won’t have such delicious dried fruit tarts, but don’t worry, the pine nut candy you like is still there, and the old ghost Kevin is in good health, we can still Eat it with confidence for several years."

Gu Shubai quietly stood aside and listened to the old man babbling about some trifles to the tombstone, what kind of magic did the doll of the next door family learn this year, the tree planted when he was young actually sprouted new shoots in winter, and so on.

The old man tenderly communicated with his dead life partner about his own world. He never showed a trace of loneliness from beginning to end, as if his wife was still alive by his side, happy and complete, which is enviable.

Gu Shubai looked a little distracted. He recalled many moments of being together with Chi Wei in his previous life. The relationship between the two has never been clear. They are getting deeper and deeper in trying to get in touch with each other, but every fragment of getting along They are treasures worth cherishing.

As soon as I recall, my heart is full of warmth.

At this moment, he suddenly received a secret chat. Gu Shubai opened the secret chat and saw that it was from Lone Star Fan.

Gu Xingfan said: "Why is it so noisy outside, what day is it today?"

Gu Shubai: "..." Gu Xingfan didn't know about such a big festival, and Gu Shubai didn't know how to react for a while.

"Today is the birthday, which is equivalent to the new year in the real world."

"Oh, I think I've heard about the birthday... so it's today. Are there any activities on the birthday?"

"Yes." Gu Xingfan is probably stupid for copying books in the store for the past few days, Gu Shubai is too lazy to explain this to him, "It's in the announcement, you can call it out and see."

"Okay, okay." Gu Xing hurriedly responded, and Gu Shubai was about to turn off the secret chat. Not long after, Gu Xingfan sent another message: "Fuck, Qingchuan, I ran into two NPCs at the door of the store. There are NPCs in this store who will come to buy things?!"

This is something that has never happened before. Although the game is very user-friendly, it is not possible for NPCs to buy players' things. It is too easy for the official to recover gold coins, and it is impossible to make such a setting that violates the balance of the game.

Gu Xingfan: "No, I misunderstood, it seems to be some kind of mission, not for shopping."

Gu Shubai asked: "What task?"

"I'll do it first." After Gu Xingfan finished speaking, he temporarily cut off the secret chat, and sent a voice invitation directly after about 5 minutes.

Gu Shubai answered the voice call, and Lone Xingfan said excitedly: "Do you remember that I read a set of books before? It was the set of Phantom Forest. At that time, I told you that I was short of the last one and had to find a way to get it. , it turned out that the two NPCs who came just now came to give me this!"

Gu Shubai thought for a while, and probably knew what was going on with this NPC.

In addition to the benefits clearly stated in the event, there are also some hidden benefits. These NPCs, like Santa Claus at Christmas, will quietly come to the player and ask him about his wishes. As long as they do not affect the balance of the game, almost all wishes can be realized. , Gu Shubai remembers that in the last world forum, there was a player who wished for a 100-level golden weapon and gave it all. The luck was beyond the charts, but the probability of this is also quite low. One of the millions of players will meet a lucky NPC That's fine.

In the end, it may have been true to the saying, God favored Xiaobai, players like Gu Xingfan who didn't even know that the birthday event had started met a lucky NPC, and the most important thing was... This fool actually thought It was to send him a book, and I made such a trivial wish for a book...

Although the Phantom Forest set of books is a relatively rare set of books, it is not considered rare. In the last life, many people liked to have this set of books because they had a chance to get an item after reading the Phantom Forest—the Eye of the Mist.

The Eye of the Mist is an item that can create illusions. It has a miraculous effect when combined with thieves or dark mages. It is also very useful when fighting in groups. It is only disabled when in the arena. For now, there are no skills and items. Able to decipher illusions created by the Eye of the Mist.However, the illusion created by the Eye of the Mist depends on the proficiency of the player using the Eye of the Mist. Both mobs and bosses are easy to forge. The more difficult ones are ordinary NPCs, important NPCs, skills and props, and finally players. .

Players who are proficient in the Eye of the Mist use the most to create skills or unidentifiable clones to interfere with the enemy. Bosses or NPCs are generally only used to make pranks in life.

Gu Xingfan was still telling him that the two NPCs were good people, he was too lucky or something, he didn't know what a precious opportunity he had actually missed, Gu Shubai couldn't bear to tell him the truth, he was afraid of this pot With the cold water pouring down, Gu Xingfan didn't want to do any activities on his birthday.

Gu Xingfan finished reading the last book of Phantom Forest, and exclaimed: "Fuck, what is this? How come there is a prop?"

Gu Shubai: "..." She really became popular all the way to the end, and she unexpectedly appeared in the eyes of the mist.

Gu Xingfan posted the Eye of the Mist to Gu Shubai to see, and Gu Shubai said after reading it: "Good thing, you can use it more." It is also good to use the Eye of the Mist to escape, so that Gu Xingfan will not be trapped again .

Lone Star hurriedly responded: "I'll study how to play first."

The two cut off the secret chat.

Gu Shubai looked at the old man again, the old man had finished speaking, and he was sharing dried fruit pies in front of the tombstone, and he tore a piece for his wife as soon as he took a bite, and said, "I'll give you the one with grapes, you have always liked grapes , this dried fruit has big flesh."

Gu Shubai looked at the time, and it was almost 12 o'clock when the Ghost King came out. He walked up to the old man and said, "It's getting late, I'll take you back."

"Hey." The old man responded, and put all the remaining dried fruit pies in the bowl in front of the tombstone, poured a small glass of rose wine at the side, and turned to Gu Shubai and said, "It's hard for you to wait." I've been so long, it's cold, drink some rose bar."

Gu Shubai accepted the gift from the NPC, and helped the old man to walk outside.

At this moment, a fireball fell not far away. Gu Shubai retreated sharply, but he couldn't pull the NPC. The game settings made him unable to perform the action of pulling. He could only watch helplessly as the NPC was hit by the fireball. Hit.

The skills used by the player in the attack state generally do not cause damage to the NPC on weekdays, but it is special on the birthday, because it is necessary for the player to interact with the NPC to the greatest extent. The degree of fidelity will be adjusted to the highest level, and it is the most basic to have a smooth conversation, and a higher level can achieve offensive behavior.

So in the beginning, Gu Shubai was only worried when the player attacked the NPC, but now, the fireball hit the old man.

Ordinary NPCs in Hercules City are only at level 20-30, and NPCs like the old man are only at level 20, and their HP and mana are only a little over 300, which is even less than these players. When the fireball hit, more than half of the old man's blood volume was gone, leaving less than a hundred blood points, his face was even paler than before, he was panting, and trembling all over.

Gu Shubai hurriedly fed a bottle of blood medicine to the old man. These red medicines are also effective for NPCs, but they are not as immediate as players. The old man's blood volume recovers slowly.

The subsequent skills followed closely. Gu Shubai frowned, and looked at the skills that fell from the sky. His expression was filled with violent wind and rain. A town of mountains and rivers was created.

At the moment when Zhenshan River fell, Gu Shubai did not stay in Zhenshan River, but rushed to the side at an extremely fast speed.

"Fuck, he ran away." The ghost hiding in the dark cursed.

"That's not right, you ghost." Picking the stars and stealing the peaches said: "Qing Chuan seems to be running in the direction of Fatty."

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden scream from Xiaopang's side, and Yougui Duanhun immediately stood up nervously, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Xiaopang tremblingly said: "Qingchuan...Qingchuan is here..."

"Kill!" You Guiduanhun said coldly.

Xiaopang didn't respond to him at all, and You Guiduanhun asked, "What's the matter?"

"He didn't do anything..." Xiaopang said, "He just stood in front of me and looked at me... motionless... What the hell is he going to do..."

"Are you famous yet?" Ghost Duanhun asked.

"No……"

"Haha, he doesn't dare to hit you." Yougui Duanhun smiled ferociously twice, and said, "It's his birthday, you didn't hit him just now, if he takes the initiative to attack you, he will be famous, at least If you are imprisoned for ten hours, you won't even think about being on the list, and now I wish he could beat you!"

"Then what should I do..."

"Stay with him, I don't believe he can stand there and stare at you all the time."

"But...it's too scary." Fatty's voice was obviously trembling, "It's too scary...Really, Brother Gui, I want to go offline, I don't want to stay any longer."

While looking at the player who attacked him first, Gu Shubai said to Gu Xingfan: "Are you free? Take the Eye of Mist to Xiaohuquan in Buluo Bay, and do as I say."

Gu Xingfan quickly replied: "Yes! I will go right away!"

Gu Shubai looked at the player with cold eyes, as if looking at a dead person.
