"Hello, Mr Harris." In front of Lu Li stood a human male Thief player with an unshaven beard.
"Hello, adventurer. How may I help you?" Lu Li ignored the arrogance in the other party's eyes and spoke politely. This was in line with his character setting. Harris was indeed a patient, caring, pure, and kind middle-aged man.
"I'm not here to learn skills," said the bearded man arrogantly. "I heard you're very strong, so I'm here to ask for your guidance."
Although he said he was asking for guidance, his expression and words did not show any humility. This person was clearly planning to defeat this class trainer and show off in front of everyone. There were indeed many people watching Lu Li. There were even some people waiting in line to learn skills and receive quests.
The class trainers in Dawnlight had a similar function.
Not only could they raise flags between players, but they could also raise flags between players and NPCs. It was just that no one would do such a thing.
The loss outweighed the gain!
Challenging an NPC class trainer required five gold coins. No normal person would spend such a huge sum of money.
Then, if the NPC was generous, it would be fine. If the NPC was stingy, you would lose a portion of your reputation, money, and time. If you lost, you would not have a good ending either. There was a high chance that you would lose a portion of your current experience, which was similar to the penalty of dying in the wild.
"Alright, child. No matter what, I'm pleased with your courage." Lu Li accepted the player's challenge with a pitiful expression.
Of course, in order to take care of the difference in strength between the two parties, the system would automatically balance out part of the difference. At the very least, it would not give one party no hope of victory.
However, Lu Li's attributes were at least 20% higher than the bearded man's. This 20% might not be fatal in the eyes of ordinary players, but Lu Li was not an ordinary player. Even if Lu Li's attributes were 20% higher than the bearded man's, Lu Li would still be able to easily kill him.
This time, Lu Li did not use any skills!
He did not use Stealth, nor did he use crowd control. He only used a dagger. That's right, he only used a dagger to kill the guy who came to challenge him in less than a minute.
The whole place was silent. No one even cheered.
Lu Li was a little embarrassed. Could it be that these players had seen their own kind being abused and felt empathy for him? Were they starting to view him as an enemy?
He didn't even think about what kind of people were here.
Those who needed to learn skills from NPCs were the lowest-level players. They couldn't possibly witness such a scene with their own eyes. Moreover, people tended to overestimate themselves. Even celebrity players didn't think that they could suppress them like this.
In their eyes, Lu Li had suddenly become a god on the same level as the Sweeping Monk.
As such, on the first day he became an NPC, Lu Li had already gained a huge amount of fame. His fame had even surpassed that of Water Fairy, who was making a living in Darnassus.
The female tycoon wasn't bad either, but she wasn't as shameless as Lu Li. He could lie through his teeth, trick players with a look of innocence, and mercilessly humiliate players who wanted to show off.
The defeated player's face turned green. He had originally thought that NPCs were easy to bully. After all, no matter how intelligent they were, they couldn't compare to a human brain.
The games he used to play followed this rule. The monsters were used to farm experience points, and the NPCs were used to serve the players. He had been doing well in the game these few days, and he had gained a group of loyal followers. He planned to find an opportunity to establish a guild.
He didn't want to be the king, but at least he wanted to set up a club to play with. After it developed, he could even swindle some money from investors.
He didn't expect this path to be cut short before it got too far.
What made him even more depressed was that this smiling NPC had deducted 60 Reputation points from him. It wasn't much. 60 Reputation points was the total amount he could earn in a few days.
At this stage of the game, even low-end players knew how important Reputation was.
Perhaps he was too ashamed to stay there, but the bearded man left in a hurry. He didn't blame Lu Li for deducting his Reputation points.
"Ahem …" He almost wanted to ask who else was there. This feeling was too good. Deducting other people's Reputation points was a very comfortable thing to do. Lu Li didn't have much sympathy for people who were holding him back from earning Reputation points.
Seeing Lu Li chase away a troublemaker, the players were even more convinced of him.
In the eyes of the rookies, Lu Li was a hidden expert. They queued up more enthusiastically and completed their quests more efficiently. Needless to say, they were more satisfied with Lu Li. When converted, all of them were five-star ratings. Lu Li's Experience points and Reputation points skyrocketed.
If it wasn't for the fact that he needed to worry about the issue of combat experience, Lu Li would have stayed here as an NPC.
On the level leaderboard, Lu Li had entered the top 30 from the top 100. He was currently ranked 28. In just a few hours, he had risen more than 80 ranks. This was very rare in the game.
What was even more ridiculous was that no one knew where he was or how he had leveled up.
Lu Li had just sent away an excited little Thief. When he saw the next player, his eyes couldn't help but become serious. He couldn't help but want to complain.
You're a star player. What are you doing here? Can't the Capital of Glory support you?
Blood Dagger!
"Hello, respected player. What kind of help do you need?" Is he here to challenge me? Lu Li's heart was beating like a drum. He wasn't saying that he couldn't beat Blood Dagger. Under normal circumstances, he could beat Blood Dagger until he couldn't find his bearings. Moreover, as an NPC, his stats were destined to be 20% higher than Blood Dagger's.
The key was that Blood Dagger must be the person who understood him the most.
Between star players, especially those of the same profession, no one could build a car behind closed doors. Studying one's opponent was not only beneficial for defeating them, but it was also beneficial for oneself to learn from them.
Lu Li had studied Blood Dagger for who knew how many times, and he had learned quite a few techniques from Blood Dagger.
Blood Dagger regarded Lu Li as his greatest enemy. How could he not study Lu Li? In some aspects, he might even understand Lu Li better than Lu Li himself. Once the two of them fought, it was very easy to find clues from the details.
That was why Lu Li was afraid!
Blood Dagger would definitely expose him. If he had even the slightest doubt, if he knew that Harris was Lu Li, and combined with Lu Li's current crazy leveling situation, anyone with a brain would be able to figure out that Lu Li's leveling speed had something to do with pretending to be an NPC.
