Chapter 13: The Born Again
Holy Cult, Holy City of Arya Val.
[System: You issued the task "Apology for Hitting People" to the player Mu Yun, the task content: Give the village girl Rococo 5 silver coins to the anxious village girl within 1 minute as an apology for knocking her down]
[System: Player Muyun has completed the task "Apologize for Hitting People" released by you, and your favorability towards player Muyun has been increased to friendly]
Standing in front of the teleportation point in the Holy City, looking at the message prompt in the NPC system bar, the corners of Rococo's mouth twitched slightly.
What, what the hell......
Just now, because the player named Mu Yun broke the game progress of the previous life and entered the Radiant King City, the main city of the Radiant Empire's forces, one day ahead of schedule, Rococo had to stop doing tasks in the royal city to save money and rushed to the teleportation point that was about to be closed in 10 minutes, but coincidentally bumped into Mu Yun around the corner.
After being entangled, Mu Yun, who was mistakenly thought that he might trigger a certain task, hurried to the teleportation point, and at the same time, Rococo, who was at a loss for not being able to fully collect the 5 gold coin teleportation fee, subconsciously said, "Then can you give me 5 silver coins?" Such angry words with a bit of a joke element, but unexpectedly, this sentence seemed to be automatically identified by the NPC system on Rococo as a task issued by the NPC village mother Rococo to the player Muyun.
And after learning about this real money task from the game system on the player's side, Mu Yun didn't know which nerve was on the wrong line, and actually chose to agree to give money. So inexplicably enough of the remaining fraction of the teleportation fee, Rococo didn't even have time to say thank you to Mu Yun, so he ran to the exotic teleportation point that had obviously begun to collect the stall at a sprint speed, and paid the teleportation fee of 5 gold coins before the teleportation circle was finally cut off, and then he was finally able to teleport to the Holy City at the last moment.
Looking at the streets and alleys in front of her, which were obviously different from the Radiant King City, and the architectural style was full of holy white tones and religious styles, Rococo took a deep breath, but before she could breathe a sigh of relief and happiness because she had finally caught up, she was attracted by the two pieces of information on the interface of her NPC system, and then subconsciously complained in her heart.
Of course, although Rococo felt a little caught off guard by the fact that the NPC system automatically counted her angry words as a task, but in general, she was still more fortunate and grateful, after all, if it weren't for the request for money being counted as a task in a way that neither she nor the player named Mu Yun expected, I'm afraid that person wouldn't have given the money to Rococo for a while without reacting to let her make up enough teleportation fees, but what was the reward.
In "Redemption", there is a saying that there is indeed a favorability in the setting of NPCs, and players can gain the favor of a specific NPC by communicating with NPCs or completing certain tasks, and the level of favorability can determine the attitude of NPCs towards players, as well as as as some special trading permissions or opening conditions for story missions. For example, Rococo has a story quest about the original elf memory awakening, and the player's conditions for opening it include that Rococo's favorability towards the player must reach a certain value or more.
So in a sense, it should be a good thing for her to have a player get Rococo's favorability, but this process and method of obtaining it makes Rococo, who is not a rigid NPC but has a self-will, a little unacceptable.
“…… Where on earth can I see that I have a crush on the guy who almost caused my plan to fail? ”
This kind of system shows that his favorability towards that player is "friendly", but in fact, his heart is simply full of all kinds of unhappy feelings for that guy, it's really subtle, hey...... The next time I see that guy, do you have to smile because your friendship is "friendly"? Rococo said that she didn't have the confidence to do it, and it would be good to stop giving that guy a god pit mission to kill him.
Shaking his head, Rococo was about to leave this matter behind, but suddenly heard Arya's voice from the system.
"Xiao Ke...... Things might be a little off......"
Saying this, the miniature version of Alia's figure appeared in front of Rococo's eyes, and her delicate little face looked a little worried and distressed.
Seeing Alia's expression, Rococo couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong, Arya?"
"That player just now, he has a problem!"
"Huh?"
Rococo was puzzled and blinked.
"Well, because I said give me money, I will give money, and my head doesn't seem to be very good......"
"No, no, no, that's not what it meant!"
Alya shook her head and looked at Rococo with anger and amusement.
"Xiao Ke, when you approached that player just now, I felt something wrong from that player's body, the law of time on that player's body was distorted, no, it should be said that it was naturally distorted, he was obviously a person living at this point in time, but his soul was mixed with memories from future time points from different branches of time and space!"
“…… What if I can change it to something I can understand? ”
"He's probably a future reborn from another branch of space!"
"Huh?!"
This sentence suddenly made Rococo Lei not light, she was originally a digital life during the time, but she had not seen much of the Celestial Empire in the virtual network, and she was very familiar with the basic attributes of the common protagonist of the reborn.
"What do you say? The Reborn? Rococo looked at Arya a little absurdly, "But, the Reborn? That,What's inside.,Come back with the memories of your past life as a golden finger and predict all kinds of future plots in advance, so you can always take the first step to get the benefits that belong to others in your previous life, and then take it to pretend to be the kind of person who slaps your face? ”
“…… I'm tempted to complain about whether your impression of the Reborn is too retro and stereotypical, but I think that's pretty much what you understand. ”
With a speechless expression, Arya immediately smiled wryly.
"After feeling this at first, I was indeed a little unsure, so just now you inadvertently issued a mission to that guy and then scraped together enough money to come to the Holy City, I got in touch with my sister through the functional law left by my sister in the NPC system that can directly communicate with the real world, and then just now, my sister found the real person of this player in reality, and secretly determined the identity of this guy's reborn.
"It seems that it is because my sister in the previous life failed because of the failure of the plan to save me and the world of the Emeithia continent, so she used the authority of the administrator to go back in time, although the law system of the earth's time and space is mature enough, and my sister is not as sloppy as me, the whole process is carried out very steadily and without any mistakes, but after all, the unprovoked backtracking of time is a law operation with high uncertainty even for managers, and the law timeline on the earth has produced a singularity that even my sister can't predict, In the end, the soul of this player named Lin Mu was reborn with the memories of his previous life due to the influence of the time singularity. ”
After listening to Arya's explanation, Rococo was a little speechless for a moment, and then immediately thought of something and spoke a little nervously.
"That means that it's not an accident that this reborn came to the main city of the force a full day earlier than the players in his previous life, but because he found a shortcut when leveling up in the novice village through the experience of the reborn? Card terrain bug or skip the level to kill monsters or something? ”
"I'm afraid so."
"Then do you know what your sister experienced in his previous life?"
Arya was stunned for a moment this time, not understanding why Rococo asked this, but she didn't think much about it, closed her eyes and contacted Mira outside the game, and after more than ten seconds, Arya opened her eyes again.
"Because the timeline has been retraced, my sister can't investigate the things in her previous life in detail, but judging from this person's rebirth memory, it seems that his parents' company was forced to go bankrupt and commit suicide because of poor management in the "Redemption" game, although he himself was not weak in the game, he was persecuted by the tricks of powerful enemies, and as a result, he was extremely miserable with his friends who protected him, and then even the beloved girl was forced to break up because of her family background and finally seemed to be snatched away by others-"
"Okay, okay, I see, no more ......"
Rococo covered his face, only to feel a little stuffy pain in his temples.
No, how can I say it, it's really old-fashioned to say it......
"By the way, Xiao Ke, my sister also specially asked me to tell you that this reborn seems to be because of the relationship with the time singularity on his body, although it is still within the scope of order, but my sister's law influence does not seem to be very effective for this person, and this reborn who has some game information in his previous life like us is likely to become an uncertain factor that must be paid attention to in this plan to save the world of the Emissia continent."
Needless to say, Rococo is clear enough about this, after all, no matter how you say it, it is also the existence of the "protagonist" who is full of temperament after being reborn, and it may be the so-called natural nemesis of the so-called behind-the-scenes existence like Mira and them who try to manipulate everything in the dark......
No, she still has some things to confirm before that, the previous collision - well, good, no too much shyness and arrogance, no inexplicable oil, no unnecessary curiosity and conversation, no dew** contribution benefits, no bite jam bread in the mouth (?) )……
"Xiao Ke, why do you look like you're suddenly relieved?"
"Well, because I've just determined that I've avoided everything other than 'Crashing Around the Corners' that could be a playable main female character, well, perfect."
“……?”
