Chapter 506: Game Update (2)
A faint dizziness.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Zicong was back in the game as Nobody Does Human Things. However, when he opened his eyes that day, he wasn’t in the place where he had logged out before. He was surrounded by an endless, brilliant galaxy, and then images appeared, one after another.
They were scenes of players conquering various places, from Karari to Emerald Fortress, from Elves to Undead. This was followed by close-ups of him and Mò Yú going undercover, and finally, the conflict with The Winterbreaking Organization was re-enacted, with golden divine eyes filling the sky, slaughtering the Truth Witch.
These scenes passed by quickly.
Then, the scene shifted again to Winter Fort.
King of Winter sat on his throne, and a group of impressive war wolf mounts lay in the hall, heads lowered in submission. Finally, the screen completely darkened, and some text appeared.
“Brave Foreign warriors, you have inscribed the history of Winter City.”
“With your help, the newborn empire has gradually stabilized.”
“But this is only the beginning. Thieves in the darkness covet the fruits of victory, and wolves in the distant wilderness are eyeing the new empire. It still needs your protection!”
“Brave warriors, stronger professions, richer abilities, more magnificent equipment and mounts await your arrival…”
The epilogue ended.
In the darkness, those azure blue eyes suddenly appeared.
“I will strive together with all of you!”
King of Winter’s voice also flashed by.
The star river inverted, and a sense of weightlessness came.
When Nobody Does Human Things opened his eyes again, he had returned to the place where he had logged out before. He was surrounded by lush forests.
Nobody Does Human Things blinked, recalling the contents of the game CG. Those war wolves that looked like Huskies should be the mounts rewarded to them, the players… Apart from looking like Huskies, they were quite good.
It was said that they even had special effects!
However, in the CG just now, he only saw that the wolf saddles would glow. Other effects were not yet visible. But it was likely that this new mount would have other unique features, otherwise, it would not be evaluated as a premium item.
“Farewell, everyone!”
A heroic cry echoed in his ears.
He saw a player with a desolate expression, holding a sword and slitting his own throat. After a while, the corpse disappeared, leaving behind only a worthless white long sword.
He wasn’t being emo, nor was he failing a secret mission. He was simply committing suicide to return to the city, which was the fastest way to get back to Winter City…
However, only new players dared to use this method.
They weren’t high-leveled and didn’t lose much experience. It was different for veteran players; one suicide could cause them to lose a level. This was especially true for players who had met the promotion conditions and were thus more cautious.
Although he couldn’t return to the city instantly like these players from the third beta test, Nobody Does Human Things had his own methods. During a previous gathering, he had befriended several professional Griffin players, especially Yan, who was the coolest. Such a guy was perfect for him.
He immediately sent a message to Yan, who was the coolest.
“Old driver, take me with you. I need to go back to Winter City~”
After waiting for a few seconds, Yan, who was the coolest, replied.
[Sorry, Brother Ren Shi… I’ve been requisitioned by Big Sister Bai Yuekui. There are so many people here, and they’re reluctant to lose a level to go back. Sigh, I still have to make a few trips…]
“It’s okay, you be busy first.”
Nobody Does Human Things closed the chat box and opened another player’s profile.
“You there? Brother, take me back?”
[Uh, Brother Ren Shi, sorry, I’m carrying Xiao Mei right now… Who is Xiao Mei? She’s the one who sat next to you at the last gathering and poured you a drink. You refused, so I poured it for her…]
Nobody Does Human Things: “…”
Five minutes later.
Nobody Does Human Things completely gave up.
They were all superficial friends, valuing lust over friendship.
At the critical moment, no one could be relied upon.
He had added over twenty flying players as friends, but not a single one of them could spare their back.
They were all carrying female players!
How desperate were they!?
His expression flickered between gloom and uncertainty for a moment, then he turned and entered the jungle.
A short while later, he was riding a Strider, with a long sword held to its neck. He glared menacingly and threatened,
“A sensible person knows when to adapt to circumstances. You don’t want all your feathers plucked, do you!?”
Based on the principle that having more skills is never a disadvantage,
He had once learned beast taming skills from the Griffin tamers in Winter City.
However, he was not a true beast tamer after all.
He had only learned the Level 1 skill.
But the Level 1 beast taming skill could only make wild beasts understand his meaning.
The pitiful Strider, having lived most of its life, had never encountered someone who threatened to pluck all its feathers from the start, and even drew a long sword intending to slit its throat. It immediately nodded frantically, indicating its willingness to submit.
“Very good!”
Nobody Does Human Things patted the Strider’s neck with satisfaction.
Then he mounted the bird.
“Head northwest at full speed. If you run slowly, you won’t have dinner tonight. If you run fast, I’ll give you carrots to eat~”
As he spoke, he took out a fresh carrot and dangled it in front of the Strider.
Strider: “Gua gua gua!”
It looked very excited.
To the Strider,
Carrots were one of the most delicious foods.
To make the Strider run faster,
He deliberately tied the carrot to the long sword with a rope.
And hung it just in front of the Strider.
…
The sun set.
Old paths, west wind, thin birds.
Winter City was finally reached.
Familiar city, familiar streets.
He could already see quite a few players showing off their new mounts everywhere.
Those who obtained new mounts were basically veteran players.
However, there were also a small number of players from the third beta test.
Like Bai Yuekui, a wealthy individual. If their contribution points were not enough, money could make up for it. It was always possible to find someone willing to pay the price of a house for a mount in the game.
Thinking of the new mounts and the opportunity for promotion,
Nobody Does Human Things’ heart was burning with enthusiasm. He couldn’t help but urge the Strider beneath him to run faster, but unfortunately, the Strider was exhausted from the long journey. As soon as it heard that they had reached their destination, its whole body slumped, and it lay on the ground weakly.
“Is that it~ Can you do it, you skinny bird…”
Nobody Does Human Things sighed helplessly.
He was not an unscrupulous capitalist.
Since the Strider couldn’t run anymore, he let it be.
So, he put the promised carrot into the Strider’s mouth, waved goodbye, and then turned to leave.
Their fate was fulfilled, and they parted ways.
The Strider tremblingly raised its head.
Looking at the human’s dashing back.
Its eyes were filled with humiliating tears.
Although the human finally gave it the carrot, he shoved the entire thing into its mouth.
It was completely exhausted now.
It had no way to remove the thick, long, and coarse carrot from its mouth…
