Chapter 13. The Jealous Ksenja
“What’s going on? I thought we were going to fight next...” Air Conditioner mumbled.
“Me too! I’m clenching my toes!” Apple Pie agreed.
Ksenja also showed a puzzled expression.
Char waved his hand nonchalantly, not surprised at all.
“Don’t talk so much nonsense. Where did you hide your spoils of war?”
The witch had a treasure chest that contained the things she had accumulated over the years.
Even though Char had gone through 177 rounds, he still had to force himself to ask this question.
This was because the treasure chest’s position was completely random. It depended on Milolo Lux’s mood, and she did not have a regular pattern.
The witch was not happy with Char’s question. She was grateful, but she would remember the two times that he had brought people to mess with her!
“You’ve angered me, human!”
The witch’s soul suddenly became cold and aloof. She put on a stern face, and a huge illusion floated in the air, giving off an oppressive feeling.
“Why are you acting like this? Aren’t you afraid that Evelyn will hang you up again? Hurry up and tell us where is it,” Char said indifferently. “Where did you hide your spoils of war? I’ll release you from purgatory as soon as possible.”
“How do you know that woman?”
Hearing the woman’s name, Milolo Lux’s voice suddenly became sharp and shrill.
“Did she ask you to punish me? Hahaha, you fool...”
“I have nothing to do with her,”?Char said impatiently. “But if you don’t tell me where is it, I’ll punish you.”
“Alright, I’ll tell you. It’s under the Floreen Tree, three hundred meters to the East.” The witch was terrified. She was extremely afraid of Evelyn.
“What’s the password to get rid of the snake?”
“You even know about the snake that’s guarding the chest! And you’re still saying that she didn’t send you to punish me?”
“Arghh!” Milolo Lux screamed in anger, and her body started to collapse.
“I definitely won’t work with you! You’re dreaming!”
“Are you sure? If you don’t leave now, you’ll still be captured by Evelyn and stuffed into another container. Think about the Soul Sucking Monsters, think about the feeling of not being able to live or die...”
“Don’t say anymore! I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you! The password is venomous fangs hidden deep, harmless but deathly.”
The password was actually different than before... Char thought to himself.
Not only did she bury the treasure chest in all kinds of ways, but she also gave different commands. She did all these things after her feelings were restrained in the Rotten Forest.
“Farewell.”
Char cupped his hands and turned to leave.
“Let’s go,” he said.
Ksenja trusted him unconditionally, and would only bury her curiosity in her heart no matter what she heard. After all, Char’s image in her mind was that she had been wandering for years after being rescued, so it was not surprising for her to have a mysterious past.
However, it was a different story for Apple Pie and Air Conditioner.
They were all players, so why was he acting like he was cheating while they were acting like they did not know anything?
Who was Evelyn?
A treasure?
The password?
What the hell? Why was playing an online game so complicated?
This was only the first day of the server opening! Did the game have to crush them like this?
After taking two steps, Apple Pie finally could not take it anymore and went up to hug Char’s arm.
However, before she could stand still, she was pushed away by Ksenja.
Eh?
The female thief’s eyes widened.
“I’m sorry. I sprained my legs.”
Ksenja smiled gently. She staggered a few steps as if she had sprained her foot, then stood up properly again.
However, she got even closer to Char, not giving the thief a chance to intervene.
Apple Pie was shocked!
How could he not know that she did it on purpose?
“I’m actually being envied by an NPC, can you believe that?
She was in disbelief and tried to approach Char from behind.
This time, it was Char who turned around and gave her a helpless smile.
“What is it?”
“Boss, how do you know all this? It’s not that I don’t believe you, but if you say that you’ve been reborn to play online games, it’s more believable than you told us that you found the answers in the village...”
“Yeah, it’s the kind of online game that has been running for a long time and is about to close. An unsuccessful player transmigrated, and his memory suddenly became so good that he could even remember everything clearly. I used to think that this kind of story was pure nonsense, but now, I almost believe in it...” Air Conditioner interrupted.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. The information gap is like a rolling snowball, and it’ll only get bigger.” Char chuckled.
“Because of a small matter, I managed to gain some of Sonya’s favorability. With the money you guys gave me, I hired her to come to the forest. This boss was caught off guard and was instantly killed by her.”
“What about the boars? There were so many monsters just now...”
“Barbarians are natural hunters. The two of us can perfectly bypass them. I’ve already gotten some clues from Auntie Susan, and on the way, I found out what the blood grain malt wine is for... These clues are like a puzzle, piecing together the general idea. Then I searched around the village and pieced together the pieces of information that are useless to you, and that’s what we’re seeing now.”
“What about Evelyn, the treasure chest, and the password?”
“This is related to you,” Char said to Apple Pie. “Your dagger came from the Dark Brotherhood, right? ”
“Yes...”
“Evelyn is the contact of the Dark Brotherhood’s branch in this village. She’s a Dark Elf. Instructor doom, who gave you the dagger, was once her student. He told me about it.”
Apple Pic was stunned.
“That simple? What right does he have to tell you...”
Char spread her hands. “What’s the Dark Brotherhood’s objective?”
“We’re paid to do things,” The female thief muttered.
“Do you think a normal organization would have such a purpose?”
She shook her head.
“That’s it. It’s an illegal organization.”
“Then... What happened after that?”
“As legal citizens, what do we do after discovering an illegal organization?”
“Do... Do you want to call the police?”
“Yes, call the police,” Char revealed a satisfying expression as he spoke. “I used this to threaten them.”
Apple Pie was speechless.
Although it was still hard to believe, it actually sounded reasonable...
The only thing that did not make sense was...
Which normal player would call the profession-changing organization an illegal organization?
“Isn’t it abnormal for a normal person to do this?”
The ability to eliminate interference, the ability to integrate information, the ability to find clues, and the ability to be as calm as water when facing those terrifying NPCs, not saying a single wrong word...
He even dared to threaten the whole organization...
Instructor Doom was scarier than any other combat instructor she had ever met. He had been a Special Forces Soldier who had killed people!
Apple Pie was full of curiosity, but compared to the speculation that “he came back from another world”, she chose to believe the former.
Char smiled at the two of them.
He did not mind their wild thoughts. Anyway, this adventure would be over soon. When the time came, they would part ways and he would have more time to do things.
The surprises he had experienced in just one day were more than what he had experienced in the past hundred reincarnations. He looked forward to the future more than ever because it was not as numb as before.
After spending a long time with NPCs, one would be extremely familiar with their every move and would get tired of them.
To put it bluntly, he knew every single look and movement of Ksenja made.
The Valkyrie, Dark Elf, and Priestesses. All were similar
However, he had never seen Ksenja getting jealous of the Apple Pie!
This was completely new as if he was a real person!
Char was moved!
The players’ interference not only changed the flow of the game but also affected the NPCs! It might even affect the direction of the game’s future!
He was excited when the chief village wished him good luck before he left the village. Due to this conjecture, his imagination started to run wild.
Char’s heart, which had been silent for a long time, began to stir.
He enjoyed this wonderful feeling, which made him believe that he was a living person and not a piece of data that had lost itself.
“We’re here.”
He stopped in front of a Floreen Tree.
He followed the witch’s instructions and shouted, “Venomous fangs hidden deep, harmless but deathly.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the soil at the roots suddenly rose up, and a dark brown python brought out the box from the mud.
