Wu Di's encounter with this "assassin" could be said to be a coincidence, but not entirely incidental.
Lincoln had not yet decided on the story to take place in the Chang'an world.
The main storyline of the game had not been discussed with the employees of the [Virtual Chang'an] construction team.
So, why did the quest line that Wu Di happened to stumble upon involve an assassin?
In the current [Virtual Chang'an], there are six quest lines that are not too long, each leading players into different weapon skill branches.
The so-called [Path of an Assassin] is actually the entry point for short swords.
In addition to short swords, there are longswords, two-handed swords, knives, longspears, and eyebrow sticks.
The other quest lines are temporarily referred to as [Path of a Hero].
The reason for being so casual is that the team had no staff in charge of storylines...
The special focus on short swords was influenced by Lincoln himself.
