What’s going on? What exactly is happening? Where is everyone?
A wave of confusion washed over the numerous players as they dared not approach the axe any further.
Concurrently, the patrol guard of Pingjiang City had also set out. Any player engaging in a brawl within the city would attract the apprehension of the patrolling NPC guards.
Once caught, they would be confined to the "small black room" for an hour.
Upon hearing the approach of the patrol guards, the players began to flee the scene.
As for the peculiar axe, no one dared to step forward anymore.
During this time, one player, disbelieving the strange occurrences, rushed forward. Before he could even touch the axe, with a loud *bang*, his entire figure vanished.
At this point, the players finally understood: never touch what doesn't belong to you, or you wouldn't even know how you died.
Soon, the players outside the restaurant disappeared, and the area returned to its usual appearance.
Zhang Pingfan let out a sigh of relief and walked over to pick up his axe.
“A bunch of trash, can’t even grab my axe. Had your chance and wasted it!”
Zhang Pingfan had been standing at a distance and hadn't seen what happened, so he was unaware of why the players hadn't taken his axe. He had been a little worried initially.
Soon, the guards arrived. Upon seeing Zhang Pingfan, with his crimson name, standing there, the guards immediately launched an attack.
“Faction Conversion!”
Zhang Pingfan switched back to the Human Faction once more. His previously bright red name turned green again. The patrolling NPC guards abruptly halted their charge.
They looked at Zhang Pingfan, utterly bewildered.
“What are you doing here, kid? Did what just happened here have anything to do with you?”
Zhang Pingfan adopted an air of detachment, as if uninvolved.
“I was just passing by. I don’t know what happened here!”
“Hmph, watch yourself next time!”
*Tch*, just a patrol guard NPC, acting so high and mighty.
As the instigator of the entire affair, Zhang Pingfan swaggered past the patrolling NPC guards and left.
When Dou Youyou logged in, she heard about her master and was filled with admiration.
“As expected, Master is still as formidable!”
Dou Junwan said, “Your master is really something, running all the way from the novice village to Pingjiang City and killing so many players. Don’t NPCs face any punishment?”
Dou Youyou replied, “You wouldn’t know this, Sister. My master is incredibly powerful. He can change factions. He can turn himself into an attackable or unattackable target at will! So he probably won’t be punished!”
Indeed, he wouldn’t be punished. At this moment, Zhang Pingfan was leisurely strolling through Pingjiang City.
After all, during the incident, Zhang Pingfan’s faction was the opposite of the Human Faction.
Now, Zhang Pingfan belonged to the Human Faction. NPCs of the Human Faction could do nothing to him unless his name turned red again.
“Your master is still in Pingjiang City. Could you introduce him to me?”
Dou Junwan asked tentatively. Although she said she wanted her sister to carry her, she was still quite unwilling in her heart.
Dou Youyou said, “What are you talking about, Sister? I remember Master said he wanted to meet you before!”
“Really? Shall we go now?”
“Yes, I’ll send a message to Master!”
Dou Junwan said enviously, “You can even contact NPCs privately? Ordinary players probably don’t have this function, right?”
“Yes, this is a unique way of communication between Master and me! I’ve sent a message to Master, and he said he’ll wait for us at the teleportation point in Pingjiang City!”
Dou Junwan nodded, and the two of them quickly headed towards the teleportation point in Pingjiang City.
As expected, they saw Zhang Pingfan, who had been waiting for a long time, at the teleportation point.
She immediately saw the words “Novice Village Chief” written in large characters.
“Master!”
Dou Youyou waved and called out to Zhang Pingfan with a smile.
Zhang Pingfan turned his head and saw Dou Youyou, as well as a girl beside her.
The two girls looked somewhat alike, but the one beside her appeared more composed.
“You’re here. Is this your sister?”
“Yes, this is my sister Dou Junwan?”
Zhang Pingfan’s jaw dropped. He thought he had misheard.
“What? Dou Junwan? Dou Ji Wan (Playing with me)??”
Dou Youyou said angrily, “Master, I’m upset! It’s Dou Junwan, the ‘Jun’ from Shangguan Wan’er!”
“Oh, I see. I was wondering who would give such a name!”
Dou Junwan also felt quite embarrassed, as everyone would have some misunderstanding when they first heard her name.
“Hello, Village Chief. I am Youyou’s elder sister!”
Zhang Pingfan said, “I didn’t mean it just now. Don’t take it to heart. You two sisters are quite different. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be playing a warrior!”
Dou Junwan nodded, “As the elder sister, I have to be more assertive!”
Zhang Pingfan thought about it, and it made sense. When he was in the orphanage, he was also taken care of by the older sisters in a similar manner.
“Alright, I’ve seen your sister. If there’s nothing else, hurry up and level up. I’m waiting for you to reach level 20!”
Dou Youyou blinked her big eyes.
“Master, can’t you give us a gift? For example, a meeting gift for meeting my sister!”
Zhang Pingfan’s face darkened. This girl was actually setting her sights on him.
“No!”
Dou Youyou: “Master, you’re so stingy!”
Zhang Pingfan said, “Yes, yes, yes, I’m stingy, alright? Now go level up!”
Dou Youyou grabbed Zhang Pingfan’s arm and shook it.
“Master~”
Then she let out a coquettish sound.
Zhang Pingfan immediately got goosebumps all over.
“Enough. What do you want to give your sister? Tell me!”
Dou Youyou said with a smile, “Quests, of course. You’re the one who gives quests!”
Zhang Pingfan flipped through his quest list. Indeed, several quests had been updated.
However, most of them did not offer free attribute points as rewards.
Zhang Pingfan said, “How about this, the food in the restaurant earlier was too terrible. Go and get me a dish of wild game!”
【Ding! System Prompt: Novice Village Chief No. 88 has issued you a quest. Capture a wild game dish for the Village Chief. Upon completion, you will receive 5 free attribute points as a reward!】
“This!”
Upon seeing the quest prompt, Dou Junwan thought she was mistaken.
This was too easy! She thought it would be a very difficult quest.
The quests that players in Novice Village No. 88 received with free attribute point rewards were generally quite difficult.
And her quest was so simple.
At the same time, Dou Youyou also received the same quest.
“Master, where will we wait for you?”
Zhang Pingfan said, “I’ll follow behind you. I have nothing to do anyway!”
“Oh yeah! Hurry up, Sister! Let’s go! Master, follow me! Pingjiang City is huge, don’t get lost!”
Zhang Pingfan: “Shut up, I’m not blind!”
