Chapter 17: "New NPCs"

Feel it's still not safe enough. Linfa extended the observation time to one day, and he gave the player a task, to carefully observe Aurora's condition.

Failure of this mission is disqualification game day survival. This almost made the player who accepted the mission kneel on the ground, out of fear.

This further strengthens the players suspicions that this game places great importance on NPCs.

Many speculate that they are advanced artificial intelligence, and each of their personalities is very unique, just like humans.

Because they are very unique. If it dies, the game company will suffer serious losses, and lead to a lack of funding.

Linfa: "Okay."

Nodded his head in agreement after seeing the conspiracies of the players in the forum. Linfa closed his data panel again, and he continued to dig underground.

[Event: "1 day 5 hours."]

Linfa will not forget the bloody words, which keep counting down time, little by little.

He didn't know what would happen when the time hit zero.

But clearly, he had to find a hiding place.

The old house can indeed be used as a temporary base. But because it's on a surface that's very vulnerable to attack. Linfa chose to give up in order to strengthen it.

The tunnel bunker's hideout had provided him with an inspiration.

He wanted to hide underground too.

"Huff~"

Exhaled hot breath, and continued to dig underground. Linfa who looked up, felt like a coolie digging a well, and he shook his head quickly, erasing any unnecessary thoughts.

Keep digging.

"Did you get wound medicine from merchant Linfa?"

"Yes, and I also got a very dangerous souvenir." Aloysius showed a small Aurora, which he held tightly in both hands.

"Why is it dangerous? Doesn't this girl look so cute?"

"If she gets injured, then my qualification as a player will be immediately revoked."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "This is indeed something to be afraid of. Besides, it seems that NPC merchant Linfa has the authority to revoke players' qualifications. Is he a hidden game tester?"

One of the players who passed by, answered his doubts: "No, didn't you see what they wrote on the forum? They started speculating that Linfa is a very high advanced artificial intelligence. Our arrival in this game is simply to make him grow to be almost exactly like a human in the real world."

The players who heard this, hissed in an extremely cold voice.

"In that case, it's quite dangerous."

With the sudden appearance of a day survival game that has a very high realistic level. Not infrequently the players start a conspiracy.

What is this game played for?

Which country party created this game?

What are their goals?

Is the NPC merchant Linfa a girl?

There are too many conspiracies that it is very difficult to tell which one is wrong, and which one is close to the truth.

But for sure...

All the players who entered this game didn't take all these things too seriously.

Day Survival first appeared in the middle of the night quietly, and the players who played this game were mostly numb to the real world.

He didn't know what kind of criteria the developer had for selecting the players. What is clear, all the players here are very unique.

Examples are Ace and Joker. The players had already guessed that they were a soldier in the real world.

Tartala who often died ridiculous. Even though he had the character of a clown, begin he appeared from the start. He had no fear at all when fighting creatures stronger than himself. This was extremely rare among players who saw this world as too realistic.

Aloysius, an ordinary player who has extraordinary reflexes. Not a single mutant mouse can leave a mark on its body.

Wrincha, the first player to find three functioning cars in this desolate city. He was now still hugging the car covered in the blood of mutant rat, and whispering, like a man full of affection for his lover.

Although he often mumbled about unknown components, and kept saying that he would turn the car into a tank. His every utterance sounded quite logical.

Sherlock believes that Wrincha can turn the car into a tank as long as the spare parts he has are available.

It's pretty awful.

He didn't know if he was the only one who discovered this truth, or someone else. But clearly, the players who enter this game, all have hidden secrets.

"Gosh, I thought you weren't interested in conspiracies. Turns out you're the same creature!" GreenFabio smiled a little.

"Tell me, what are you thinking right now?"

sherlock froze: "How did you know?"

"Tch, sorry dude. I'm a seasoned veteran. My nose can smell conspiracy from tens of kilometers away."

Release Aurora, and let her go to the big bear. Aloysius took out the medicinal ointment he bought from merchant Linfa, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Where's the wound? It's healed!?"

Go to Gizzy with passion. Aurora clutched his white feathers, and she shouted excitedly.

"Gizzy! Gizzy! Wake up!"

Has vibrating eyelids. Gizzy heard a familiar little girl scream, and he immediately opened his eyes wide!

"T-The bear is awake!"

Make a sitting position, and after that stand up with his two big feet. The tires of the truck he was riding in sank, and he roared fiercely!

"ROARRRRR!!!!"

Pulling little Aurora behind his back. Aloysius pulled out the iron dagger that was stuck in his waist, and he looked at the big bear in front of him with a bit of fear.

There meters high, with a very wide body. When he stood up, his body blocked the path of sunlight, and made his existence extremely intimidating.

The players who didn't go to exterminate the mutant rats, stood up, and they began to draw out their weapons one after another.

Although the big bear looks very intimidating. They are not afraid anymore.

They learn...

They grow.

Now, nothing can fear them. Even death.

Because of all this...

Just a game.

"Gizzy, stop it!"

Shouted in a loud voice, ending the observation gazes between the bears and the players. Aurora who was standing behind Aloysius' back, ran to Gizzy, and she hugged his fur very tightly.

"Gizzy, thank you... you wake up...." Aurora whimpered in a very pitiful voice.

She very lonely.

Lowered his large palm, and gently rubbed Aurora's small head. Gizzy looked at the zombie wielding a dagger in front of him with a serious look, and he stuck out his palm, forward.

"Goar..."

Saw the enormous bear palm, in front of him at this time. Aloysius kept his iron dagger back, and he also extended his hollow right hand, for a handshake.

"Player, Aloysius."

A large figure, and a small figure, waved their right hands lightly.

Aurora breathed a sigh of relief.

The players also smiled, and drew their weapons one by one.

It seems like...

They got new NPCs.

This is confirmed.
