Chapter 33 The Realistic Mission of NPCs(1/2)
"What exactly is the difference between gods and mortals?"
Wang He is thinking about this problem.
He was thinking about the possibility of becoming an ally of the gods.
How much value can he provide himself?
Whether it is Suellen or Melikai, no matter how beautiful and sincere their words are, are they true?
He could never tell.
People's minds are unpredictable, and the thoughts of gods are more like stones buried deep in the sea. Who can see what's going on on the surface of the sea?
What he could know was that after he showed his appeal and inducement to the player group and achieved results, Su Lun suddenly appeared and invited him to form an alliance with him.
Wang He didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Lun's approach.
If he finds a qualified talent in the early game, and this talent happens to be next to him.
He will definitely extend an olive branch as soon as possible and make a friend no matter what.
All he hopes to achieve is to achieve mutual benefit as much as possible.
After all, friends may be acquainted by fate, but more often they are maintained by some kind of benefit.
According to religious knowledge records, the two gods Selun and Mielikki represent the camps of chaotic good and neutral good respectively.
Both are from the good camp, but their views on recruiting Wang He are different.
Whether this was the influence of friendship, Wang He did not dare to judge.
But for him, the moment Su Lun opened his mouth to invite, the answer had actually been decided.
Su Lun's invitation is like a multiple-choice question that appears in the game to advance the plot of the game. Agreeing is the best choice.
If he missed this opportunity, he would be equivalent to losing the channel to obtain information from the top existence in this world.
Given the general premise of this answer, he must consider how to deal with the existing risks and prepare for the risks in advance.
Gods and mortals, in terms of strength alone, are like humans and ants.
People simply don't pay attention to creatures that are too subtle and weak.
But something is slightly different, what if this ant could communicate and talk to you normally?
"At least it will be treated as a separate individual, creating a subtle feeling that we are all intelligent creatures."
Wang He smiled knowingly, maybe he was the intelligent ant in the eyes of the god.
"Although it's not that good, it's not the worst either."
At least the good God won't treat it as a toy for wanton oppression.
Wang He used his mortal mind to speculate, and then asked a few questions to his new allies.
To his surprise, Su Lun and other gods also had no idea why outsiders like them could appear in this world.
Melikai even claimed that the outsider she actually saw for the first time was Wang He himself.
She had carefully observed Wang He for this purpose, and did a lot of experiments when he returned to the real world, and finally came to a conclusion:
The so-called NPC players, that is, Wang He's body in this world, are aborigines who adapt to the rules of the world.
The brave and adventurers, those who can be resurrected in the Temple of the Resurrectionist, come to this world through an unknown method.
They did not know the principles of the Temple of the Resurrectionist. The believers who sent out inquiries were eventually blocked by an unknown law, and only outsiders could enter or exit.
One of Su Lun’s guesses is:
The arrival of outsiders is the means of a powerful god, and there is a high probability that this god is a god from an evil camp.
Therefore, she needs Wang He, an ally, to provide as much information about outsiders as possible, especially about the Temple of the Resurrectionist and the player agents.
Wang He silently wrote it down, preparing to use various channels to search for answers when he returns.
In exchange for information, he provided Su Lun and the others with some basic information about the players he had learned.
Of course, he had reservations.
Compared with Suellen's questions and answers, which were mainly aimed at outsiders, Mielikki didn't really want to know much.
After revealing his identity to Wang He, Melikai's personality and behavior did not change much, which made him relieved.
However, Melikai went against the norm and proactively provided an extremely important clue.
According to her, as the sole representative of Abel and Eddas, Wang He's soul had been marked with the mark of God when he became the representative.
Even in the real world, as long as Wang He prays or speaks Edath's name, the god can understand the location of his follower through perception, and can even communicate with him in some way.
The cross-domain of planes is a feasible theory in this world.
"Although we don't have much interest in your plane, many gods are currently lacking believers."
Melikai's words gave Wang He a sudden sense of urgency that his reality was threatened.
"No need to worry, our body cannot easily cross the crystal wall of the plane."
"However, if you outsiders are influenced and bring back some evil beliefs, that's another matter." Melika added.
Wang He was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Miss Melikai, you said before that there is a difference between me and the representative of the goddess of the night, what do you mean?"
She answered slowly: "Abel, the true representative is the only one."
"Those people who are confused by power are not even residents of this world, so how can they become agents of the rules?"
"I have another question. Apart from me, have Edas and you sensed that there are other believers in my plane?"
Previously, Wang He used the celebration to create a large number of player followers of Mielike, and he easily gained a large wave of faith points.
As for Melikai, who is gaining momentum, it is impossible for no one to talk about her in the real world.
Wang He wants to judge whether the player believers in the game can gain faith points like him in the real world.
"No."
"I said, they are not residents of this world." Melikai looked calm.
"This is where their faith can have real value."
"Once they return to your plane, their beliefs will be just fake images. Unless..."
Melika paused and did not finish speaking.
"Abel, you are different from them. You were already a human here when we first met."
"Is it because I am an NPC?" Wang He frowned and suddenly figured out something.
As a result, before he had time to express his feelings, he was completely defenseless and was kicked by a despicable charge from the unicorn.
Although he relied on his instinctive reaction to avoid it a little, he was still kicked out hard.
Su Lun appeared behind him at some point, pressing his back with one hand to offset the force and stabilize his body.
The unicorn seemed dissatisfied with the results of the raid:
"Huh, as a weak human being, you don't have to think too much in your little head! Now you are our ally, be proud of it!"
"Is this how you communicate with your allies?"
Wang He patted the dust on his body and smiled bitterly.
That night, Wang He and several gods discussed the celebration and follow-up matters in detail for a long time.
Finally, at Melikai's suggestion, he chose to log off in the holy place of the main temple.
Melikai and the others did not tell Wang He the specifics of what they were going to do next, they just told him a general direction.
Coincidentally, the direction they provided was exactly the same as what he had done before.
That is to collect faith in this continent. Whether it is players or NPCs, the more believers, the better.
Corresponding to this responsibility, what Wang He got was a brand new task.
System prompt:
You accepted the legendary quest: Allies of the Gods.
Mission description: What can the alliance between mortals and gods accomplish in this chaotic world?
Mission content: Fulfill the responsibilities of an ally. Any betrayal will be deemed as abandoning the mission.
Task rewards: Reward in stages depending on completion.
Mission clues:
Have you chosen to embark on this path?
Then one day, we will meet.
With endless doubts about this mission clue, Wang He returned to the real world.
Outside the game room, breathing the turbid air of the real world again, his chest felt a little heavy.
But at this moment, a strange feeling filled his whole body.
