Chain Mission

What Su Chen didn't know however was that right after he left the players, a forum post had been posted about him.

[Hidden NPC outside the Beginner's Village], read the post's title and a picture of Su Chen was attached to it.

The post didn't get much traction, as NPCs in this stage of the game wouldn't be very strong no matter what.

However, many people left their opinions in the comments.

"You guys are idiots, you could sell the animal bodies in the butcher shop for 4 silver."

"This is the first time that I've seen an NPC cheat the players."

"I believe that this should be one of the special NPCs that the developers mentioned. The mission didn't even reward you with favorability while your task only had the possibility of doing so. Maybe by increasing the favorability you can get something.", a player's thinking ran wild.

"Actually, the developers of the game have already stated that each NPC has been programmed to have its own thoughts. The NPCs can cheat, betray and even kill us for seemingly no reason.", another player calmly analyzed.

So far, the players hadbeen amazed by the game.

Not only did it feel 100% like the reality, but the feeling of becoming stronger in the game was like a drug to them.

At the same time as the players were discussing about the game, our hidden NPC was making his own plans.

"Cheating people like this can only be used once or twice."

"What's a way to cheat the players?", Su Chen wondered.

As a person that lived in the 21st century, no matter what skills Su Chen had in the past, they would not be able to be used in a world filled with cultivators.

As for his predecessor?

The only skills he had was chopping woods and hunting wild animals.

Suddenly, he thought of his silver panel.

Since he had no other skills, would he be able to use the skills that it gave him?

Picking up a pen and some paper, Su Chen started writing about his understanding of the Devil's Bloodlust skill.

Although he was only a Martial Disciple, his understanding of the skill had been boosted by the panel.

Of course, he wasn't going to give the players the complete skill, but a completely powered down version.

Five minutes later, Su Chen had written down everything.

"With all the things that I've left out, this skill possesses about 10% of the original one's power."

"Not only that, but if anyone practices it, they will go crazy in about a week.", he thought, but he didn't care.

Anyways, the players were not only unkillable but were also infinite.

Just as he was about to leave his house, he thought of something and quickly crossed out the name "Devil's Bloodlust".

In its place, he wrote the words "The Hero's Rage".

"Yes, this is a skill meant to be used by a protagonist.", Su Chen thought and nodded, pleased with his wit.

Leaving the village, this time he didn't plan to wait for the players to come to him, but actively went into the forest.

Listening to the sounds that sounded throughout the forest, Su Chen could guess that a slaughter was going on.

From his understanding of the players, they would kill everything they met and gave them XP.

Feeling a slight pity for the animals, Su Chen followed the sounds and reached a fight scene.

A pack of 9 wolves had encircled a team of 5 players and were aggresively moving towards them.

In fact, if the players had any combat experience, they would surely be able to kill the wolves even if they suffered some casualties.

But how would a person living in the modern society know how to fight?

Su Chen didn't plan to interrupt the fight until he needed to.

Time passed and the players that lived were getting less and less.

Just as the last of the players was about to be killed, Su Chen finally made his move.

5 of the wolves had already been killed by the players and the rest of them had also suffered some injuries.

The last time, Su Chen had managed to kill 3 healthy wolves alone, even though his cultivation was way weaker.

This time, with the past experience and the increase in his realm, he quickly smashed every single of their heads before the wolves could even react.

[XP +10]

[XP +10]

XP prompts sounded in his ears, but Su Chen ignored them.

Instead, he turned his head and faced the only surviving member of the team.

The player, rather than feeling sad about the death of his teammates, became very excited as he saw Su Chen killing the wolves effortlessly, especially when used the Identification skill on him.

[Name: ??]

[Identity: ??]

[Realm: ??]

[Favorability: 0/100]

Before he could speak up and try to make a good impression, he saw Su Chen clicking his fingers, as if he was calculating something.

"Yeah, yeah, I finally found the one that I've been looking for.", Su Chen said out loud, while stroking his non existent beard.

"I can finally pass down my inheritance.", Su Chen seemed to speak to no one, as he stepped closer to the player.

At the same time, the player named CatSlayerxX, instantly became enthusiastic as he heard the word "inheritance".

Instantly, he bowed and spoke up.

"Master Immortal, please give me a chance to become your inheritor.", CatSlayerxX spoke with determination in his voice.

As for being embarrassed?

Why would he be embarrassed in front of an NPC?

"I can see the determination in your eyes, but I don't know if you have what it takes.", Su Chen shook his head and replied, as if he was making a difficult decision.

What the player didn't see was an undetectable smirk on his face.

"Master Immortal, I am ready to do everything I can to become a cultivator.", CatSlayerxX insisted.

"Okay, okay you've managed to convince me."

"As long as you successfully complete the trial, you will be able to completely inherit my techniques.", Su Chen opened the panel and issued a mission.

[Chain mission(1/?)]

[Kill 75 rabbits, 50 squirrels, 10 deers and 5 wolves]

[Reward: The Hero's Rage skill]

Looking at the mission, the player's eyes immediately lit up.
