Prevent regeneration?
Gu Fei pondered over the effects of this new stat. Werewolves were commonly seen in myths and legends. The game's design was probably in the same category. He had never heard of Werewolves having the ability to revive after death. Preventing regeneration shouldn't be a counter to this ability. Excluding this possibility, it probably meant that Werewolves had very strong wound healing abilities. In game terms, it was HP regeneration.
In the game, bosses with HP regeneration abilities could often be seen. "You can't even recover as much HP in a second" was the best description for this type of boss. Gu Fei guessed that the Prevent Regeneration ability in his hand was this type of ability.
After saying goodbye to the village chief, Gu Fei went to find Xiao Yu. The door to the richest man's room was wide open. Gu Fei looked inside but didn't see anyone. After sending Xiao Yu a text, he hurriedly went to the backyard of the house. There was a cellar in the backyard and Xiao Yu said that there was a gold mine in the cellar.
Could it be that the backyard of the house was a mine? Gu Fei went to the backyard and saw Xiao Yu standing next to the cellar. He hurriedly went up.
"You bought a weapon already?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I just happened to meet a player who was selling equipment." Gu Fei casually made up a story. He pulled out the Fire Baptism and handed it over: "This blade isn't bad. It even has a magic attack! It's not bad for me since I'm so weak. "This was something that Gu Fei had thought of a long time ago. After all, if he were to fight with Xiao Yu, he would have to pull out the blade sooner or later. If he said this now, Xiao Yu would naturally think that Gu Fei had just bought the blade and wouldn't suspect anything. With Xiao Yu's stubbornness, Gu Fei believed that this lie was foolproof. It was just that he felt a little apologetic to play tricks on such a simple and honest girl.
Xiao Yu took the blade and looked at it. As expected, she didn't have any suspicions: "Not bad. How much is it?"
"50 gold." Gu Fei said.
"That's expensive!" Xiao Yu exclaimed.
"I can't help it. I'm in a hurry for the quest! If there's one here, I'll hurry up and buy it. Running to Luminous City will waste a lot of time. If this quest has a time limit, then it'll be depressing. "Gu Fei said.
Xiao Yu nodded her head. Gu Fei's words had hit the nail on the head. No matter what, the quest was the most important! Then, he handed the Baptism of Fire back. "We'll go find the Village Chief later."
"I've already looked for it. The original name of the blade was called Baptism of Flames. After the Village Elder plated it with silver, it became the Holy Baptism of Flames. Also, the 'Prevent Regeneration' at the bottom was also created after it was plated with silver." Gu Fei said.
"Stop regeneration, what does that mean?" Xiao Yu said.
"It's probably to prevent the monster from recovering!" Gu Fei said.
"Oh, I have to write it down quickly." Little Yu immediately took out a small notebook and began to write stroke by stroke. Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I'm just guessing."
Thus, Little Rain added another parenthesis to "Prevent regeneration: Prevent monsters from regaining health" — she guessed it.
"Why are you standing here?" Gu Fei asked.
"We're waiting for that person to get the gold." Xiao Yu pointed to a cellar at the side.
Gu Fei stretched his neck to take a look, but he couldn't see anything in the dark. Could it be that this person's mine was actually in his own backyard? Gu Fei muttered to himself. Coughing sounds came from below the cellar. A person carrying a small bag in his hand climbed up the wooden ladder.
Without a doubt, this person was an NPC. Gu Fei took a look after coming out of the cellar. He had a protruding mouth and monkey cheeks. He had the appearance of a common profiteer in games. It was obvious that he was the Luminous Village's richest man, Mr. Adrian.
Adrian climbed out of the cellar and threw the small bag to Xiao Yu. Gu Fei stretched his head to take a look. Inside the bag were a few unpolished gold lumps. Some were big, some were small, but they were yellow and unremarkable.
"You finished your quest?" Gu Fei asked.
"Bring this back to Cloud City and it'll be done." Xiao Yu said.
"What's the reward?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know yet." Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu's quest really wasn't difficult at all. It was just that the journey was long and the consumption of time was quite large. If the reward wasn't generous, then the heavens wouldn't be able to tolerate it.
"Alright, my quest is done. I'll help you now." Xiao Yu put the small bag in her pocket and said after patting it.
Gu Fei nodded and looked around. With some regret, he said: "But who is this Werewolf? There's no clue at all!"
"Ask! Doing quests is to keep talking to the NPC until he can't say anything new. Then you can look for clues. "Xiao Yu taught Gu Fei.
This task was quite arduous. Although Luminous Village wasn't big, there were quite a few NPCs. From the east to the west, Gu Fei asked about twenty people. This didn't include those who ignored Gu Fei. In the end, the answer he got was always: "The Village Chief knows more."
Helpless, the two went to the Village Chief's house. In the end, the Village Chief introduced the habits of the Werewolf to them. It was nothing more than the night of the full moon.
In the game, there was a difference between night and day. There was a cycle every six hours. Four hours of day and two hours of night. Of course, the night wouldn't be so real that they couldn't see their fingers in front of them. It was said that the light that allowed the players to see the monsters clearly came from the moonlight. However, Gu Fei had never noticed whether the moon's shape changed.
Xiao Yu also couldn't answer this question. Gu Fei looked at the time. When the two of them crossed the Black Dragon Mountain Range, it was almost daytime. Now that three hours had passed, in less than an hour, it would be night. Perhaps the system specially gave him a full moon in order to take care of his quest.
"We should go back to the church to take a look. Search the cracks between the rocks and the bushes. Who knows, we might find something that can prove the identity of the Werewolf." Xiao Yu said.
Gu Fei felt that it was reasonable. Although from a common sense, if there was such a thing, it should have been found by the villagers. However, this quest was designed for players to complete, so the clues should be left for the players to find.
Returning to the blood-stained stone in front of the church, Xiao Yu immediately laid on the ground and carefully searched. Gu Fei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If this was really the quest's design, then the so-called clues should only be found by him, the person who accepted the quest. What could Xiao Yu find by lying on the ground?
However, seeing her excited look, Gu Fei didn't have the heart to dampen her spirits, so he remained silent and also began to search around.
After a round, he found nothing. Gu Fei stood in front of the broken door of the church in a daze. Xiao Yu refused to give up and went to an even more remote corner to search.
Gu Fei looked at the area in front of him that he had just searched. The two of them turned over the bushes and moved the rocks. In just a short period of time, the system had restored everything to its original state.
This was the rule of the game. Anything that a player touched or moved, unless it was under special circumstances, would be refreshed or restored by the system after a certain period of time. If it was an NPC that moved it, it would be regarded as refreshed and would not be restored.
At this moment, Gu Fei, from where he stood, looked at the restored view of the courtyard in front of him and suddenly froze.
He didn't know if this was the system's design or if it was a clue left behind. He only knew that he saw some traces — traces of a fight.
Broken stone slabs, trampled grass, broken shrubs … all these marks were definitely not something that could be formed naturally. This was definitely the damage caused by a fight.
Gu Fei walked down the stairs and looked at these traces one by one. From time to time, he would even see some scenes of action flashing through his mind.
These traces of a fight were definitely real, Gu Fei concluded. He didn't believe that this was a scene that could be created just by programming or drawing. The scene in front of him must have been created first, then simulated a group of opponents fighting on it, and then preserved the traces of their fight, which was why it was so real.
However, if this was a clue for a quest, wasn't it a bit too much? Gu Fei didn't believe that ordinary people would be able to see any clues from this. Even the game designers wouldn't be able to recreate the battle scene from this.
Gu Fei couldn't either, but at least, from some of the fragments he could guess, he could tell that this battle was very intense, and that it happened very quickly. Gu Fei quickly had a new question. From the traces left behind, the two opponents seemed to have fought for a period of time before one of them finally fell. In that case, this dead Murphy had some skills. However, Gu Fei remembered that when the village chief had talked about this previously, he had specially introduced Murphy, saying that he was a kind and upright young man. He didn't mention that he was also a warrior.
Gu Fei suddenly thought of the description and description of the quest chain on the official website. It said that every quest chain that was generated represented the hard work and sweat of the game staff, the complete plot, and the events that really happened around you …
From this content, in Gu Fei's quest chain, although the incident of Murphy being killed by a werewolf wouldn't be witnessed by the player Gu Fei, the system would still simulate this incident and let everything develop according to the plot, until Eddie was captured by the mountain bandits. These were all things that had actually happened in the game.
Murphy's identity had become a real point of suspicion. The funny thing was that Gu Fei's suspicion was focused on whether or not this Murphy really existed. If the programmer just wanted to complete the plot and randomly threw two people to fight at the entrance of the church, causing a puddle of blood, then it would be a real misdirection to Gu Fei, who could see through it.
But no matter what, Gu Fei was determined to continue investigating this clue. He then called out Xiao Yu, who was still digging in the corner.
"Did you find anything?" Xiao Yu heard something different in Gu Fei's voice.
"A little, let's go find the village chief again," Gu Fei said.
"For what?"
"Ask him what kind of person this Murphy is," Gu Fei said.
