Prevent regeneration?
Gu Fei pondered over the effects of this new stat. Werewolves were commonly seen in myths and legends. The game's design probably couldn't escape this 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 were often seen. "You can't even recover as much HP in a second" was the best description for this type of boss. Gu Fei reckoned that this Prevent Regeneration ability in his hand was probably this type of ability.
After saying goodbye to the village chief, Gu Fei went back 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 large 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 around 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 his blade sooner or later. If he said this now, Xiao Yu would naturally think that this blade was just bought by Gu Fei 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 cried out.
"I can't help it. I'm in a hurry for the quest! If there's one here, then hurry up and buy it. Going to Luminous City will waste a lot of time. If there's a time limit for this quest, then it'll be depressing. "Gu Fei said.
Xiao Yu nodded. Gu Fei's words had touched the bottom of her heart. No matter what, the mission was the most important! Then, he handed the Baptism of Fire back. "We'll go find the Village Chief later."
"I've already looked. The original name of the blade was Baptism of Flames. The Village Elder coated it with silver before it became the Holy Baptism of Flames. Also, the 'Prevent Regeneration' at the bottom was also created after it was coated with silver." Gu Fei said.
"Stop regeneration, what does that mean?" Xiao Yu said.
"It's probably to prevent the monster from healing!" 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 guessed it too."
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.
"Waiting for that person to go get the gold." Xiao Yu pointed to a nearby cellar.
Gu Fei stretched his neck to take a look. It was pitch black and he couldn't see anything. Could it be that this person's mine was actually in his own backyard? As Gu Fei was muttering to himself, coughing sounds came from below the cellar. A person carrying a small bag climbed up the wooden ladder.
This person was obviously an NPC. After coming out of the cellar, Gu Fei took a look. 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 richest man in Luminous Village, 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. There were a few uncarved gold lumps in the bag. Some were big, some were small, but they were yellow and unremarkable.
"You finished your mission?" Gu Fei asked.
"I'll finish it after I take this back to Cloud City." Xiao Yu said.
"What's the reward?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know yet." Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu's mission 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 tolerate it.
"Alright, my mission 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. He said with some regret, "But I don't have any clues as to who this Werewolf is!"
"Ask! Doing a mission is to keep talking to the NPC until he can't say anything new. Then you can look for clues from there. "Xiao Yu taught Gu Fei.
This was a tough job. Luminous Village may not be big, but there were quite a few NPCs. From the east to the west, Gu Fei asked about twenty people. This didn't include the ones who ignored Gu Fei. The answer he got was always, "The Village Chief knows more."
Helpless, the two once again went to the Village Chief's house. The Village Chief once again introduced them to the habits of the Werewolves. 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. The night was not so real that they couldn't see their fingers in front of them. It was said that the light that allowed players to see the monsters clearly came from the moonlight. However, whether or not the moon changed shape, Gu Fei never noticed.
Xiao Yu was also unable to answer this question. Gu Fei looked at the time. When the two of them first crossed the Black Dragon Mountain Range, it was almost daytime. Now, more than 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 and look around. Maybe we can 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 couldn't bear to dampen her spirits. So he remained silent and also began to look 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 that they had just searched. The grass that the two of them had flipped over, the stones that they had moved. In just a short while, 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 who moved it, it would be regarded as refreshed and would not be restored.
At this time, Gu Fei, from where he stood, looked at the restored panoramic view of the courtyard and was suddenly stunned.
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 and then simulated a group of opponents fighting on it. Then, the traces of their fight were preserved, which was why it was so real.
But, if this was a clue to the quest, wasn't it a bit too much? Gu Fei didn't believe that an ordinary person would be able to see any clues from this. Even the game designers wouldn't be able to restore the battle scene from this.
Gu Fei couldn't either, but at least, from some of the fragments that he could guess, he could tell that the battle was intense and fast. Regarding this, Gu Fei quickly had a new question. From the traces left behind, the two opponents seemed to have fought for a while before one of them finally fell. In that case, this dead Murphy had some skill. But, Gu Fei remembered that when the village chief had talked about this, 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.
At this moment, Gu Fei suddenly thought of the description and introduction 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 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 who accepted the quest, the system would still simulate the incident and let everything develop according to the plot, all the way 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, Gu Fei's suspicion was focused on whether this Murphy really existed. If the programmer simply threw two guys to fight at the entrance of the church just to perfect the plot, causing blood to splatter everywhere, then it would be a real misdirection to Gu Fei, who was able to see through the tricks of the game.
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 the difference in Gu Fei's voice.
"A little, let's go find the village chief," Gu Fei said.
"For what?"
"Ask him what kind of person this Murphy is," Gu Fei said.
