"That's possible." Mr. Han nodded in agreement. "But oak forest, wooden hut? That's too little. Who knows how many such scenes exist in the game. "
"There's an NPC called Gru. I'll go check!!" Brother You was excited as if he had discovered a new continent. He stood up and walked out.
"Where are you going?" Gu Fei asked.
"I'm looking for clues." Brother You waved his hand at Gu Fei. This was his most handsome moment.
"He left just like that …" Gu Fei held the diary in a daze. These people were indeed players. To Gu Fei, this diary was like a novel. He wanted to continue reading! He thought Brother You had the same interest. Who knew that once he found some clues, he would leave in a hurry like the other players.
Mission. These people only had missions in their minds!
Gu Fei thought as he flipped to the next page.
"I'm talking to myself again today. I've been doing this a lot lately. I've always felt that I'm lonely. I should be used to this kind of loneliness. It seems that being alone isn't scary. What's scary is being alone and helpless. Am I already panicking inside? I've come to the oak tree again. I've been turning here a lot lately. I don't know why, but this oak tree feels close to me. Maybe it's because it brings me some memories … An assassin should abandon everything, but I have nothing. The only thing I have now is my memories. I don't want to lose them. "
"So sad, so sad!" This diary was basically a strong-willed assassin who was trapped in a fog, lonely and helpless. Although he knew it was just an NPC, Gu Fei couldn't help but sigh. What would be the end of such a character? Would he be found and killed by players? Of course not. This was the ending of a character, not the ending of a character. Gu Fei's curiosity was piqued. He couldn't wait to flip to the back.
"When I woke up, I found myself covered in snow. Is it winter? I awoke with a start, and at once began frantically to look for the oak. I was afraid. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to recognize it after it lost its color. But everything was fine. The oak tree was still the same. It was just covered in a layer of snow like me. It didn't lose its leaves. So the oak tree doesn't lose its leaves in winter? It will not wither, then what about me? Am I looking for a way out, or am I looking for an oak tree? "
Gu Fei sighed deeply. It was obvious that this assassin had begun to gradually give up on the future, and could only find some comfort in the past. And the following content also confirmed Gu Fei's thoughts. In the diary, Andrew Sue began to recall his scenes from 187 missions, until one day, he suddenly wrote:
I've heard that in the instant before death, everything that happened in one's life will flash through one's mind like a movie replay. And these days, I've been constantly replaying my past. The moment before my death, has it already begun? The beginning was actually so long?
'Is it going to end …' Gu Fei muttered in his heart. He suddenly did not wish for Andrew Sue to die like this. He hoped that there would be a turn for the better.
But there was none. What Gu Fei read next was getting more and more bizarre. However, as his memories continued, his mission reached the 187th time, which meant that this mission, which he had yet to complete, might be the last one in his life.
"Giordano, I still haven't forgotten this name, Xia Wu City's guard captain. Among the people I've assassinated, he wasn't the highest, but with his identity, there might be an unexpected difficulty! Now that I think of this person, my numb hands seem to tremble a little. It seems that I haven't completely lost my fighting spirit. "
"Here!!" Gu Fei suddenly slammed the table.
The young master of the Han Family opposite him spilled half of the wine in his glass. His heart ached, and he flew into a rage: "What the hell are you screaming for!!"
"Look here!" Gu Fei flipped the diary upside down and placed it in front of the Han family's young master. "Here, it mentions the assassin's mission target in Xia Wu City. According to your line of thought, killing this person might be our next mission."
The young master casually glanced at it and said: "Then did you receive the mission?"
"No …" Gu Fei shook his head. The system didn't give any notification at all.
The young master sneered.
"Not receiving the mission doesn't mean you can't do it." Gu Fei said.
"Then what's the point of doing it?" The young master asked.
Gu Fei glanced back at him and said: "You drink every day, what's the point of doing it?"
"It's my hobby."
"Good answer!" Gu Fei nodded.
Damn it! The young master cursed in his heart. He actually fell for someone else's trap. Challenging this kind of slightly difficult battle was naturally this guy's hobby.
The target of the Misty Shadow Assassin, the captain of Xia Wu City's guards, sounded like a difficult boss.
"Then I wish you good luck." The young master raised his glass to Gu Fei.
"Aren't you coming to watch?" Gu Fei asked.
The young master of the Han Family looked at Gu Fei, who had been shattered by the refraction. "That's not my hobby."
Gu Fei raised his eyebrows and stood up with the diary in his hand.
"I don't think those guys will go either." The young master added, "They didn't even receive the mission notification, so it's meaningless to them."
"I know." Gu Fei nodded and left.
Meaningless things? Then what is meaningful?
Kung fu is my dream, it's the most meaningful thing to me, but the real world has turned it into a meaningless existence. And my mission is to continue this meaningless thing in the eyes of others, it's a bit sad.
Do you want to continue Andrew Sue's mission? To challenge experts? This wasn't Gu Fei's main reason. To him, the system's robot would never be an expert. To him, this kind of meaningless mechanical battle was no different than training with a sandbag. It was only after reading Andrew Sue's diary that he was a little affected. He suddenly felt that in a game with a background and a story, why did everyone treat farming monsters and getting equipment as part of their lives? This was a well-rounded world, you could also live a life here. Farming monsters and leveling? Why did everyone have to walk the same path?
Gu Fei entered the game to have an environment and a world where he could use his Kung fu. Level and equipment weren't important to him. After reading Andrew Sue's diary, he suddenly felt that he could play a role in this world, a role where he could use his Kung Fu. This kind of thing was much more interesting than killing monsters and leveling up.
Gu Fei thought about contacting Brother You. He would have to trouble Brother You to find out more about Giordano. In the end, Brother You was already offline. As usual, Brother You was always offline. He had a wide range of activities, which was why he had such a wide range of information sources.
He could only ask the local players for more information. A random stranger on the street might not have much patience, so Gu Fei sent a message to Strange Pupil. "Do you know the NPC Giordano?"
"No," Strange Pupil replied.
"Then, what about the guards of Xia Fog City?"
"Guards?" Strange Pupil was still confused.
Gu Fei sighed. Actually, many players only wanted to complete the quests quickly in order to get rewards. Every quest had an outstanding background and story, but how many people would pay attention to these things? Especially an expert like Strange Pupil, who was one of the Top Five. He would definitely focus on efficiency. Why would he waste time on such things?
For a moment, Gu Fei suddenly missed the rain in June. If that girl had been born in Xia Wu City and thoroughly investigated all the quests here, would this NPC named Giordano be able to escape her discerning eyes? Even if she didn't remember, the quest notes she had were as legendary as Imperial Shenming's map and Brother You's information book.
"Then please help me ask your friend about it!" Gu Fei had no choice but to ask Strange Pupil. He hoped that the girl knew someone as talented as June Rain.
"Alright!"
Just as Gu Fei was thinking about what he should do while waiting for the news, Strange Pupil's reply came quickly. "There's no need to ask. My sister knows."
"Oh?" Gu Fei was overjoyed.
"Tell her!" Strange Pupil said.
Gu Fei and Yan Xiaozhu had added each other as friends. This was a habit in online games. It was similar to exchanging name cards when they met in real life. It was a necessary formality.
"I don't know which team you're talking about, but I do remember this NPC called Giordano," Yan Xiaozhu said.
"Tell me about it."
"He's in the main city's government office," Yan Xiaozhu replied.
"I don't think we can enter that place, right?" Gu Fei said. He knew about the main city's government office. It was said that it was the core of the main city's administration. NPCs like the city lord were all in the government office. However, the government office was usually not open to players. The guards outside the door were denser than any other place in the main city.
According to the officials, players had to obtain a special identity in the city to enter and exit the government office. They did not specify what it was, but said that the players had to figure it out themselves. This naturally led to a lot of criticism. The players had been trying to figure it out for a long time. Gu Fei did not know if anyone had met the requirements to enter and exit the government office. Anyway, he had tried it out of boredom. When he walked to the door and showed the intention to take another step in, a guard came to stop him. If he went any further, he would have to resort to violence.
"Indeed, we can't enter. I was helping a friend with a quest. Our team got temporary permission to enter, so we went in once and noticed this Giordano."
"Oh, what made you notice him?" Gu Fei asked.
