"That's possible." The Han Family Young Master nodded in agreement. "But the oak forest, the wooden hut? The clues are too small. Who knows how many such scenes are there in the game. "
"There's also an NPC called Gru. I'll go investigate!!" Brother You was excited as if he had discovered a new continent. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Gu Fei quickly asked.
"To look for clues." Brother You waved at Gu Fei. This was his most handsome moment.
"He left just like that …" Gu Fei held the diary in his hand in a daze. These guys were indeed players. To Gu Fei, this diary was like a novel. He wanted to continue reading! He thought that 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 guys only had missions in their minds!
Gu Fei flipped to the next page as he thought.
"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 panicking in my heart? I've come to the oak tree again. I've been coming 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 … Assassins should abandon everything, but I've already lost everything. The only thing I have 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 that 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 just the ending of a character, not the ending of a character. Gu Fei was curious and couldn't wait to flip to the next page.
"I woke up to find 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 that if it lost the color in my memory, I would not be able to recognize it. But all was well. The oak-tree looked the same. Like me, it was only covered with snow, and had not lost its leaves. So oak trees don't shed their 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 the scenes of his 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 didn't want this Andrew Sue to die like this. He hoped that there would be a turn for the better.
But, there was none. The next content that Gu Fei read became more and more mysterious. But as he continued to recall, his mission reached the 187th, which was the one he had yet to complete, and it might be the last one of his life.
"Giordano, I still haven't forgotten this name, the Guard Captain of Xia Wu City. Among the people I've assassinated, he wasn't the one with the highest status, but his identity might bring unexpected difficulties! 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.
Half of the wine in the Han Family Young Master's glass was shaken, and he was distressed. He flew into a rage: "What the hell are you screaming for!!"
"Look here!" Gu Fei turned the diary upside down and placed it in front of the Han Family Young Master: "This mentions the assassin's mission in Xia Wu City. According to your thoughts, we can continue with the mission by killing this person."
The Han Family 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 Han Family Young Master sneered.
"Just because you didn't receive the mission doesn't mean you can't do it." Gu Fei said.
"Then what's the point of doing it?" The Han Family Young Master asked.
Gu Fei glanced at him and said: "You drink every day, so what's the point?"
"It's a hobby."
"Good answer!" Gu Fei nodded.
Fuck! The Han Family 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 Han Family Young Master raised his glass to Gu Fei.
"Aren't you going to come and take a look?" 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 Han Family 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 was meaningful?
Kung Fu was his dream, and it was the most meaningful thing to him, but the real environment had made it a meaningless existence. And his mission was to continue this meaningless thing in the eyes of others. It was a bit sad.
Would he want to continue Andrew Sue's mission? To challenge experts? This wasn't the main reason for Gu Fei's decision. For him, the system's robot would never be an expert. That kind of meaningless mechanical competition was no different from practicing 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 comprehensive world, and one could also have 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 world where he could use 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 show off his Kung Fu. It was much more interesting than farming monsters and leveling up.
Gu Fei wanted to contact Brother You. He would have to trouble Brother You to find out more about Giordano. In the end, she saw that 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. Gu Fei still sent a message to Strange Pupil, "Do you know the NPC Giordano?"
"No," Strange Pupil replied.
"What about the guards of Xia Fog City?"
"Guards?" Strange Pupil was still confused.
Gu Fei sighed. In fact, many players only wanted to complete the quests as quickly as possible in exchange for rewards. Every quest had an outstanding background and plot, but how many people would take the time to think about it? This was especially true for a player like Strange Pupil, who was one of the Top Five. He would never waste his 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 Yutian Shenming's map and Brother You's notebook.
"Then please help me ask your friend about it!" Gu Fei had no choice but to ask Strange Pupil for help. 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 replied, "There's no need to ask, my sister already knows."
"Oh?" Gu Fei was overjoyed.
"Talk to her!" Strange Pupil said.
Gu Fei and Yan Xiaozhu had also added each other as friends. This was a habit in the game. It was similar to exchanging business cards when meeting in real life. In the future, they wouldn't be in contact anymore. In any case, 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 asked. 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. However, they did not specify what it was, claiming that the players had to figure it out themselves. This naturally led to a lot of criticism, and the players had tried to figure it out for a long time. As for whether or not anyone had met the requirements to enter and exit the government office, Gu Fei did not know. 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. Obviously, he did not have the right to enter.
"Indeed, we can't enter. I was helping a friend on a quest, and our team received a temporary pass, so we went in once and noticed this Giordano."
"Oh, what made you notice him?" Gu Fei asked.
