"Could it be that it wasn't actually a werewolf, but a larger wolfhound?" Xiao Yu guessed.
"This … it can't be?" Gu Fei felt that the quest chain was a design that the game company was proud of, so there was no need to create such a nondescript suspense. The werewolf wasn't actually a werewolf, but a wolfhound that had become a demon? This was too comical.
"Let's see if it left any other bloodstains." Gu Fei said.
"That's right! We'll be able to catch it if we follow the bloodstains! "Xiao Yu said excitedly.
"Uh, it's just a cut on its paw, there's no need to be so exaggerated right?" Gu Fei said.
"Who knows?" Xiao Yu had already gone off to search the area.
Gu Fei was staring at the drops of blood on the ground, lost in thought.
The werewolf's strength was beyond Gu Fei's imagination. It was incredibly fast, and its attack was also high. He tried his best, but he could only block that one hit. If he really fought the werewolf, he had no chance of winning. After all, this kind of gap was something that couldn't be helped in the game. He wanted to make up for it with techniques, but he didn't know where to start. Gu Fei didn't even have the chance to fight the werewolf to see through its weaknesses. The werewolf could probably finish him off in two or three moves.
But, why would such a powerful boss run away? Just a cut on its paw, and it was enough to make the ferocious werewolf cower? That was too pretentious. Or was it that the silver-plated Baptism of Fire was really that powerful? When the werewolf discovered the silver attribute, it immediately peed its pants in fear?
Obviously, the werewolf's escape wasn't its own decision in this situation. This was another plot that the designer had planned beforehand. And Gu Fei only fulfilled the condition for it to run away.
This condition seemed to be for the werewolf to be injured.
But, with this plot, what kind of message was it trying to convey? Gu Fei couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"There's no other bloodstains." Xiao Yu, who had crawled all over the place, came back and said in disappointment.
"Let's go find the village chief, I have something to ask him." Gu Fei said.
"Really? Let's go, let's go. "
Luminous Village was quiet at night. The NPCs that were originally scattered throughout the village had disappeared, replaced by the lights of various houses. In the game, players had no day or night. On the other hand, NPCs strictly adhered to a daily routine. They would come out during the day and go home to rest at night. For a moment, it was hard to tell who was a human and who was a machine.
He knocked on the door of the Village Chief's house. The Village Chief was as polite as ever. "Oh, brave warrior, you've come." The Village Chief had always said that Gu Fei was a brave warrior.
"What did the werewolf that killed Murphy look like? Is he wearing something around his neck? "Gu Fei asked.
"Oh, you'll have to ask Adrian, who lives by the church. He's the only one who saw it. That night, he heard noises coming from the church and went out to investigate. In the end, he saw a werewolf kill Murphy. Poor man, he is so frightened, "said the village head.
"Adrian …" Gu Fei recalled the richest man in Luminous Village.
"Village Chief, where is Mo Fei's home?" Gu Fei asked again.
"The third house by the forest. No one has been there for a long time since he died," said the Village Chief.
"Let's go take a look," Gu Fei said to Xiao Yu.
Murphy's house was actually very easy to find. Among the many houses that were lit, the only one that was dark was it. After Murphy's death, this was an empty house that no one lived in.
As they neared the house, Gu Fei gently pulled Xiao Yu behind him, indicating for her to be quiet. He then placed the Flame Baptism in front of him and carefully walked towards the house.
Xiao Yu was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe. She didn't know what happened, but she saw Gu Fei walk to the door, put his ear to the door, and quietly listen for a moment before pushing the door open and entering. Xiao Yu nervously looked around before sneaking in with Gu Fei.
Gu Fei had already lit the oil lamp in the house and was standing by the bed looking at a piece of parchment in his hand.
"What is it?" Xiao Yu came over.
"It looks like a map," said Gu Fei.
"A treasure map?" Xiao Yu was excited.
"Too bad there are no coordinates, it'll be a bit troublesome to find!" said Gu Fei.
"Let me take a look." Xiao Yu took it.
"This is the main road of the village, this looks like a church …" Xiao Yu took a pen and drew on it, her mouth muttering.
"I know where it is!" After a moment, Xiao Yu cried out in surprise. When she turned around, she saw Gu Fei standing by the door, carefully looking outside.
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Yu came over.
"Shh …" Gu Fei motioned for her to be quiet. Although the people outside were NPCs, Gu Fei didn't know if "making too much noise" would be a condition to stop their activities.
"Let's go take a look with them." Gu Fei pulled Xiao Yu.
"I found the location of the treasure!" Xiao Yu waved the parchment.
"Okay, we'll go dig up the treasure in a bit. Let's follow these four guys first, "said Gu Fei.
"What are they going to do?" Xiao Yu asked.
"I don't know, but I recognize three of them are the type that hide from me. I've never seen the fourth one before. This group of people is really strange, "said Gu Fei.
"Follow them, follow them!" said Xiao Yu.
The four of them quietly walked on the main road of Luminous Village, carrying tools like shovels on their shoulders.
"Aiya, they're not going to dig up the treasure, are they? It can't be us, right? "Xiao Yu said.
"Didn't you already figure out where the treasure is? See if they're going the right way, "said Gu Fei.
"No," said Xiao Yu.
"Follow them, follow them."
The four of them finally arrived at a mountain near the village. Somewhere halfway up the mountain, after pushing aside a layer of plants covering the hillside, the four of them disappeared.
"Look, what's that?" Xiao Yu pointed.
"That's a hole …" said Gu Fei.
"What are they doing here?" Xiao Yu asked.
"How would I know," said Gu Fei.
"Let's go take a look?" Xiao Yu suggested.
"Don't rush, come back at dawn! They'll leave at dawn, "said Gu Fei.
"How do you know?" Xiao Yu asked.
"They still have to stand guard on the main road of Luminous Village during the day," said Gu Fei.
Xiao Yu looked at the time, "There's still more than an hour!"
"Let's go to the place you found first," said Gu Fei. "Where is it?"
"The forest behind Murphy's house."
The two of them retraced their steps and arrived at the forest behind Murphy's house. Xiao Yu took the parchment and led the way, looking around and finally stopping under a tree. "It's here." Xiao Yu pointed.
"I really bought the right shovel." Gu Fei muttered, took out the shovel from his pocket and started digging.
"Treasure chest! Treasure chest! Treasure chest! "Xiao Yu chanted, watching the hole get deeper and deeper. In the end, the treasure chest didn't come out, but a sack came out.
"So heavy!" Gu Fei grabbed it with both hands, but couldn't pull it out of the hole.
"Let me." Xiao Yu stepped forward, reached out and lightly pulled, and the sack came out of the hole. This made Gu Fei depressed for a while.
Opening the sack and looking inside, the two of them were startled.
"Gold?" The two of them looked at each other.
Xiao Yu took out the small bag of gold given by the quest, took out a piece, and compared it with the one in the sack.
"They look alike!" Xiao Yu said.
"Adrian, is it?" Gu Fei pondered.
"Let's return the gold to him! There will definitely be a reward. "Xiao Yu was happy.
"Did you trigger a quest?" Gu Fei asked.
"No."
"If there's no quest, where would the reward come from?" Gu Fei said.
"Then what's this for?"
"I think, this is also an important part of my quest chain." Gu Fei had a headache, "There are more and more things. I'm so tired, let's rest for a bit! "
"Where to?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The inn in the village should still be open, let's rest for a bit, and wait for the sun to rise." Gu Fei said.
The two of them came to the inn in the village, since it was still a game, the shops and the like wouldn't be closed.
"Get whatever you want to drink. It's my treat. "Gu Fei said.
"I suddenly feel so sleepy, let's lie down for a bit." Xiao Yu said as she laid down on the table.
Gu Fei casually ordered a glass of wine, and as he drank, he pondered over his quest chain.
Two groups of villagers with completely different attitudes.
Signs of an evenly matched battle in front of the church.
The powerful yet unknown Murphy's strength.
Murphy's corpse that disappeared.
The werewolf that ran away with a small injury.
The gold that Murphy hid.
And the four villagers that ran to the cave in the middle of the night.
There had to be a storyline that could explain all of these events. This was the perfect final plot of the "Eddie's Badge" quest chain. If it was just to find the werewolf and kill it, Gu Fei doubted that it could explain all of the problems. At this moment, Gu Fei already had a plan in mind. Right now, all he had to do was wait for the sun to rise. As long as he grasped a few more key things, the truth would very likely come to light.
On the other side, Ye Xiaowu, who had been watching Gu Fei's quests like he was watching a movie, had already experienced too many surprises from Gu Fei.
After walking around in front of the church, he suddenly ran to dig up Murphy's grave. Ye Xiaowu still didn't know whether he had discovered something or just guessed it.
The werewolf that had attacked him, and he had actually been able to kill it. He was only level 30. A level 30 character should have been slapped to death by that werewolf … …
Based on the current situation, Gu Fei's final quest chain completion rate could possibly reach more than 90%.
Not bad, completion rate! This was how a quest chain's completion rate was measured, and how the final reward was determined.
Killing werewolves? This was just one way to complete this quest chain. If it was Ye Xiaowu who went, he would know where the werewolf was, find it, and kill it with a single slash. Of course, this would still be considered as completing the quest, but he would definitely get the lowest completion rate and the worst reward.
Presenting the entire quest chain's plot perfectly was the way to obtain the highest completion rate.
It was like a single-player game with multiple endings. All the endings could be considered as clearing the game, but there would definitely be one that could be called the perfect ending.
Because the great young detective Conan once said, "There is only one truth."
