"Could it be that it wasn't a werewolf, but a rather large wolfhound?" Xiao Yu guessed.
"This … … 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 for 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 can catch it by following the bloodstains! "Xiao Yu was excited.
"Uh, it's just a cut on its paw, it shouldn't be that 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 it for a moment. 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 technique, but he had no idea where to start. Gu Fei didn't even have the chance to fight the werewolf to see through its weaknesses, and 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 could make the ferocious werewolf cower? This was too pretentious. Or was the Baptism of Fire so powerful after being coated with silver? Did the werewolf notice the silver attribute and immediately pee its pants in fear?
Clearly, the werewolf's escape wasn't its own decision in this kind of situation, but a plot set up by the designer. And Gu Fei only fulfilled the condition for it to run away.
This condition seemed to be for the werewolf to be injured.
However, what kind of message was this plot trying to convey? Gu Fei still couldn't figure it out.
"There's no other bloodstains." Xiao Yu came back after crawling all over the place and said in disappointment.
"Let's go find the village chief, I have something to ask." 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, warrior, you're here." According to the Village Chief, Gu Fei had always been a warrior.
"What did the werewolf that killed Murphy look like? Is he wearing something on 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 Murphy's house?" 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 and signaled for her to be quiet. Then, he guarded the Flame Baptism in front of him and carefully walked into the house.
Xiao Yu was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe loudly. 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 aren't any 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, and this looks like a church …" Xiao Yu took a pen and drew on it, her mouth muttering something.
"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 signaled 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, follow them and take a look." Gu Fei pulled Xiao Yu.
"I found the location of the treasure!" Xiao Yu waved the parchment.
"Okay, we'll go dig for 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!" Xiao Yu said.
The four of them quietly walked on the main road of Luminous Village, carrying shovels and other tools on their shoulders.
"Oh, they're not going to dig for 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 cave …" 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 worry, come back in the morning! 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 figured out first," said Gu Fei. "Where is it?"
"The forest behind Murphy's house."
The two of them went back the way they came and came to the forest behind Murphy's house. Xiao Yu took the parchment and led the way, looking around and finally stopped under a tree. "It's here." Xiao Yu pointed.
"This shovel was really the right one to buy." Gu Fei muttered, took out the shovel from his pocket and started digging.
"Treasure chest! Treasure chest! Treasure chest! "Xiao Yu chanted and saw the hole getting deeper and deeper. In the end, the treasure chest didn't come out, but a sack came out.
"It's so heavy!" Gu Fei grabbed it with both hands, but couldn't pull it out of the hole.
"Let me." Xiao Yu stepped forward and lightly pulled, and the sack came out of the hole. This caused Gu Fei to feel depressed for quite a while.
When they opened the sack and looked 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.
"It looks so similar!" 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, how can there be a reward?" 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 while! "
"Where to?" Xiao Yu asked.
"The inn in the village should still be open. Let's rest for a while and wait for the sun to rise." Gu Fei said.
The two of them arrived at the inn in the village. After all, it was still a game, so the shops wouldn't be closed.
"Whatever you want to drink. It's my treat. "Gu Fei said.
"I suddenly feel so sleepy, let's lie down for a while." 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 had disappeared.
A werewolf that ran away because of a small injury.
Murphy's hidden gold.
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 storyline of the quest chain "Eddie's Coat of Arms". If it was just to find the werewolves and kill them, Gu Fei doubted that it could explain all of the problems. At this time, 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 might 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 if he had discovered something or if he had guessed it.
He had actually killed the werewolf that had attacked him. He was only level 30. A level 30 character should have been slapped to death by that werewolf with one slap … …
Based on the current situation, Gu Fei's final completion rate of the quest chain could possibly reach over 90%.
Not bad, completion rate! This was the standard to measure the completion rate of a quest chain and determine the final reward.
Killing werewolves? That was just one way to complete this quest chain. If it was Ye Xiaowu, he would know where the werewolf was and directly kill it with a single slash. Of course, this would still count as completing the quest, but he would definitely receive the lowest completion rate and the worst reward.
Perfectly presenting the sequence of the entire quest chain was the way to obtain the highest completion rate.
It was like a single-player game with multiple open 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 had once said, "There is only one truth."
