Chapter 179 -170: No One Is Allowed to Kill the Banshee Hero!
As soon as I got back to the Pool of Radiance, the World Channel was flooded with messages like “Go for it!”, “Be majestic”, “Fight hard”, “Charge together!”, “If you don’t charge, you’re not Chinese!” that almost blinded me! Holy smokes, these messages cost 100 bucks a pop, how many tens of thousands is this gonna send to the game company in just a minute?
Suddenly, Selvia’s exclamation rang in my ears: “Teacher, are you alright?”
I quickly turned around and there she was, Selvia, supporting Mrs. Anwen who seemed ready to faint. I exclaimed in alarm: “Teacher, what’s wrong with you?”
Mrs. Anwen sighed softly: “I’m old and fragile, my mana exhausted, I can only escort you this far. Captain, you must defeat the demons and reclaim the Pool of Radiance, then find someone capable to teleport the ship out.”
I promptly responded: “Don’t worry, teacher! Selvia, hurry and help the teacher to rest in the cabin, we’ve got this!”
Mrs. Anwen nodded her head, then fell silent.
Looking at her, based on the mission background, Mrs. Anwen’s time is up, huh? Watching her frail silhouette was like looking at a candle flickering in the wind, and I unexpectedly felt a lump in my throat. I shook my head fiercely. Damn it! She neither leaves too early nor too late, just passes away right after finishing her mission, imparting the last of her knowledge – isn’t that a most satisfactory and fitting end? Why the hell should I be sad!
Yet, a tear still involuntarily fell from the corner of my eye as I let out a long sigh!
I may be opportunistic when playing games, lawless, treating “lives” as nothing, never hesitating when it comes to PKing players, but with NPCs, I give them all due respect and patience. Why, you ask? NPCs are the brains, the embodiment of game rules; respecting NPCs is respecting the game rules and benefits will follow. The more you invest, the more you gain. Even if an NPC schemes against you, there’s no use holding a grudge against a computer – it’s just a game, and if you’re screwed over, it’s just because you’re not skilled enough. Besides, even if NPCs scam players, they still have to follow game rules, they won’t scam you to death.
But with players, it’s different. The virtual society formed by the internet is often more brutal; players are bottomless pits of ruthlessness, like yours truly. Players in the game PK, compete for equipment, bosses, hack accounts, deceive, or even retaliate in real life – they’re capable of anything. When a player scams another player, it’s a scam to the death.
For me, spending time with NPCs gives me a sense of security that I can’t get from players.
Some people grow fonder of dogs the more time they spend with humans; I grow more trusting of NPCs the more time I spend with players.
Without a doubt, this lonely and perplexing solo trip in the Demon World, Mrs. Anwen has been my rock. She trained me, a self-proclaimed elite noob, into a true wise and helpful mentor. Now, as her mission comes to an end and she is about to leave, I am not heartless – how could I be unmoved?
Mrs. Anwen, thank you, and farewell!
I calmed my sorrowful heart and checked the surroundings of the Flying. The radar showed it was clear, and not far from the tree roots was a long line of juggernaut ships – the barracks where the Flower Demon Army held the captive Abyss Lord.
The barracks were still there! My Abyss Lord was still there! I couldn’t help but smile knowingly. Excellent, I’ll head to the barracks and get a few more Flower Demons; enough time has passed for them to have bred more troops, right? This place is the edge of the Pool of Radiance so I’ll rest for a bit first and recover the mana that the troops used up in the big battle.
…….
In the Elf Kingdom Staff Department, various NPC elders and officers were all anxiously twisted in worry.
Suddenly, several officers shouted excitedly: “He’s back! Our Super Hero has triumphantly returned from the Demon World!”
Like a shot of adrenaline, the Great Elder, with bloodied lips, roared with a mighty shudder: “Good! So good! Not even the Demon World could stop our Super Hero; these clowns here are nothing in front of him!”
The whole command center erupted into cries: “Victory is in sight!”
Finally, there it was! The moment Eternal Star, who had been agonizing and suffering in distress, couldn’t hold back his tears anymore and burst into laughter. The last to laugh is me!
An officer cried out, “Super Hero has recruited 30 Flower Demon Army from Barracks 104!”
The Great Elder hopped around manically as he yelled, “Flower Demon my ass! Forest Goddess! Immediately initiate the World Tree emergency plan, and send the Forest Goddess to Barrack 104! Our Super Hero must be short on troops–send as many as possible!”
“Yes, elder! Relay the order to initiate the World Tree emergency plan!”
—-“World Tree emergency plan initiated, Level One preparation!”
—-“World Tree emergency plan initiated, Level Two preparation!”
The Great Elder stomped his feet hysterically and roared, “Preparation be damned! Just initiate it!” As he spoke, his entire body flashed with Demon Light, and his hair and beard stood on end and whirled around like a Saiyan transforming. In that moment, the entire command post creaked and groaned wildly–the World Tree was vibrating! That’s right, the General Staff was inside the World Tree.
Although Eternal Star as an open beta expert didn’t know what exactly the Forest Goddess was, from the name alone, he knew it was a high-class, formidable troop type that regular players couldn’t even dream of obtaining. With this, victory was hardly out of reach!
Eternal Star immediately ordered the command post, “Victory is in sight, go all out! Don’t stop!” At the same time, his heart was filled with a great desire to meet this Super Hero that the NPC took so seriously!
…….
The Flying approached the Flower Demon Barracks slowly and recruited 30 Flower Demons. The speed was a problem; after all, there wasn’t much of a breeze.
Da Fei looked around and saw many Flower Demon Barracks wrapped in spider silk and reclaimed by Spider Demon reinforcements. Got it, my Artillery Emperor Level artillery would sweep through, repair barracks, and whip up winds on the way back to the battlefield. My more than one thousand Flower Demons could fix up a barracks in seconds!
And then, with a flash of golden light from the barracks, a sparkling Forest Goddess emerged.
—-System Prompt: 1 Forest Goddess has joined your forces.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched–what’s going on? Wasn’t it said that a barracks could only recruit one Forest Goddess? While still in surprise, the barracks flashed with golden light again, and this time a group of Forest Goddesses flew out!
—-System Prompt: 12 Forest Goddesses have joined your forces.
Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground! What was happening!
The golden light kept flashing! 9! 7! 11! 15! For a moment, Forest Goddesses poured out of the barracks like dumplings, continuously joining Da Fei’s troops, astonishing Da Fei to the point where his mouth hung open without closing for a long time! Holy shit! Was the system cheating for me? Or was this the reward for keeping a barracks? None of this made sense, right? Or was it a reward for a triumphant return?
The golden light lasted for ten seconds before finally ceasing. In total, more than 150 Forest Goddesses had joined Da Fei’s forces, and now he had a team of 200 Forest Goddesses! That’s 200 units with Advanced Healing Technique! That’s like having ten Selvias!
Da Fei finally snapped out of it and burst into crazy laughter–although he didn’t know what was happening, it was definitely a good thing!
Just then,
—-Battlefield Broadcast [Old Jiang]: Players from China Region! Our Super Hero has taken action, victory is within reach, go all out to kill the Banshee Hero!
The entire battlefield broadcast was in an uproar!
Da Fei was suddenly shocked–what? Killing the Banshee Hero? Holy shit! Nobody is allowed to kill her–I’ll fight you all!
