"Huh?" Shang Wennuo, who was about to make a move, paused. Of course, Shang Wennuo would not react to anything else. However, there was one thing he had to stop talking about, and that was leaving his identity as an NPC. Of course, Shang Wennuo knew that Li Huailin was an enemy. He also knew why Li Huailin was saying this. However, he could not help but want to hear it, even if it was just a little information.
"Do you really want to kill me?" Seeing Shang Wennuo stop, Li Huailin felt a little more confident. "Indeed, if you kill me and then kill yourself, I'll immediately withdraw from this world quest. However … you won't be able to resurrect yourself, right? This world quest's erasure method isn't an ordinary one. You've seen it, right? You'll completely disappear from this world. Not even your corpse or soul will be left behind. There's no way to resurrect yourself. In other words … if you fail here, you'll really die. Not even the Ruler of Gods can resurrect you, right?"
"Do you think I'm afraid of death?" Shang Wennuo immediately said. Of course, he also admitted that Li Huailin was right. Even the Ruler of Gods couldn't resurrect those who died in this world quest.
"Aren't you afraid?" Li Huailin said calmly. "I think I heard you say that your goal isn't to become a background story for us players. So, can you become one now? Is it really a good idea to die here? "
"…" Shang Wennuo did not answer. Yes, he did not want to die, especially as an NPC. He felt that his death would be meaningless. He was unwilling to die just like that.
"You really are a selfish person." Li Huailin said with a smile. "The Ruler of Gods is your benefactor. He's the teacher who helped you discover the value of your life. Now that he's asking you to sacrifice yourself for him, you hesitate. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"You bastard!" Shang Wennuo said angrily.
"Angry? But the target of your anger isn't me, right? " Li Huailin continued, "You're angry because you realized that you're such a person. You think you're a noble person, but that's all there is to you. That's why you're venting your anger, right?"
"You …" Shang Wennuo didn't know how to reply.
"You're really special," Li Huailin said as he spread his hands. "Do you know what the average NPC is like? For example, the NPC I was carrying right now was absolutely willing to die for me. The reason was simple. I had maxed out his favorability and loyalty, so he would definitely obey my orders. This was the sad part about NPCs. Even their feelings could be expressed in numbers. On the other hand, you're a little strange. Your Favorability towards the God King might be full, but when you work for him, you have your own ideas. This is where you're special. Looks like what you said about you being a bug might really be the truth. "
"…" Shang Wennuo fell silent again.
"Normal human emotions aren't that simple. They can't be expressed in numbers. One second, they're your friend, and the next, they might be your enemy. That's the kind of world that's interesting, right?" Li Huailin said with a smile. "So, do you understand? You're doubting the God King's orders, not because you're not loyal, but because your loyalty isn't based on numbers. "
"I have to say, your words are really pleasant to hear." Shang Wennuo sighed slightly. "I heard that you have the power of persuasion. You're really good with words."
"My words are convincing not because of my speaking skills, but because what I say is the truth. All I do is say the right words at the right time." Li Huailin said, "Just like what I said, I really do have a clue about what you want to know. No, no, no, not a clue. In fact, I've already successfully conducted an experiment."
"What?" Shang Wennuo was stunned. "You said you successfully conducted an experiment? You brought an NPC to your world for an experiment? "
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "Be careful, it's a successful experiment. You know what that means, right? The God King might have said the same thing to you, but he's probably just giving you a vision. I've already completed the experiment. "
"How is that possible?" Shang Wennuo immediately said.
"I guess you've also done some experiments, right?" Li Huailin said. "But maybe you didn't find the right tools for the experiment."
As he spoke, Li Huailin explained the situation with Nemoya to Shang Wennuo. Of course, he also told him about the previous experiment. After hearing this, Shang Wennuo was also stunned for a while.
"What about that Nemoya?" After a while, Shang Wennuo asked Li Huailin anxiously. Yes, he really believed Li Huailin's words. Li Huailin's explanation was too detailed. If he had to make it up, Shang Wennuo really didn't believe that it could be so complete. However, the person who said this was Li Huailin. This guy was quite eloquent, so Shang Wennuo still had some reservations. Maybe there really was a magical beast like Nemoya, but whether or not the actual experiment was like this, he decided to find the other party and ask.
"Such an important thing, of course, I'll keep it safe." Li Huailin said with a smile. "If you're interested, I can arrange for you to meet. Of course … there are conditions."
"…" This was really not out of Shang Wennuo's expectations. Yes, how could Li Huailin tell him these things for free? If the other party did it for free, Shang Wennuo would doubt the authenticity of these things. Of course, he could also guess what Li Huailin wanted him to do.
"Do you really think that I want to destroy this world?" Li Huailin looked at Shang Wennuo's expression and continued, "Other NPC teams are loyal to the God King. After all, his favorability has been maxed out. Whatever he says, they will do. You're different. Do you really believe what he says? You should understand that to us players, this world is just a game world. Whether it's good or bad doesn't mean much to us. So, I don't need to spend so much effort to destroy it. After all, I'm the most awesome person in the game. It's so much fun to keep it and act cool. Why do I need to find trouble for myself? "
Shang Wennuo really believed Li Huailin's words. Yes, to Li Huailin, there was really no need to destroy this game world, but the problem was …
"The problem is that the God King said that I will destroy another world, right?" Li Huailin seemed to read Shang Wennuo's mind and continued, "After all, you also want to become a real person. Of course, you don't want another world to be destroyed, but the problem is … I really haven't thought about it. Whether you want to believe it or not, my goal in participating in the World Trial is to save this world. To be honest, if the fate of this world is really related to this World Quest, do you think I can hand it over to a stranger? I don't know what the God King's goal is to tell me this. I also want to talk to him face to face, but he refuses to appear. Even now, I don't know his identity. You want me to hand over the fate of this world to such a person? Are you willing? "
"You also want to save this world?" Shang Wennuo was slightly stunned.
"I'm not joking." Li Huailin said, "I just don't know what happened. The only person who knows about this is the God King, and I can't find him. He said that I destroyed this world. I also want to know what happened because I don't have the intention to do so. Now, I want to ask him face to face."
Shang Wennuo lowered his head and thought for a while. Yes, he listened to Li Huailin's words. To be honest, he kind of believed it. Of course, it was mainly because of the temptation from before. To him, becoming a real person was too important. Even if there was a possibility that Li Huailin was lying, even if there was a 0.1% chance, he still wanted to give it a try.
"I want to meet the God King." Li Huailin said directly, "I roughly know now. With your status, no matter how close you are, you can't know the truth. This matter can only be clarified with the God King face to face. So, I want to meet the God King. You should know where the God King is. Help me contact him and let us meet. This is my condition."
"Okay …" After thinking for a while, Shang Wennuo finally nodded. Yes, after thinking for a while, he felt that meeting the God King really wasn't an overboard thing. Originally, he also had some doubts about the God King. The reason was the same as what Li Huailin had said. Although the God King was kind to him, there were some things that the God King hadn't explained to them clearly. There was no proof that Li Huailin would destroy the world. The other NPCs believed him, but Shang Wennuo had his own doubts. If the God King and Li Huailin met face to face and explained things clearly, he would know what was going on. When the time came, if it was proven that Li Huailin was lying, it wouldn't be too late for him to deal with Li Huailin.
"I'll only arrange for you to meet. When the time comes, you have to tell me where Nemoya is," Shang Wennuo said.
"Sure. You just have to bring my words to him. If the God King really doesn't dare to meet me, I'll take you to find Nemoya, "Li Huailin said, nodding.
Of course, although he didn't say another thing, the two of them had reached a consensus. Yes, if they wanted to meet the God King, they had to wait until the trial was over. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to leave. Then, if the trial was over and the two of them were still alive, they would, of course, win. So, the other hidden condition was that the two of them had to work together to win.
