Chapter 423: An Incomprehensible Mysterious Change
The dawn light shone on the vast desert, and after a night of fierce fighting, the corpses of barbarian soldiers lay everywhere in this remote village.
Mo Qianying walked through the alleys of the village, looking at the corpses that had clotted blood at his feet, and couldn't help but frown. However, he frowned not because he felt uncomfortable, but because he felt that it was a little strange that these corpses had not been brushed away.
When he went offline last night, he felt that the environment around him had become very strange, whether it was those NPCs or the night stalkers who were comrades. It wasn't until he went online this morning and found the corpses all over the ground still in place that he really accepted the facts in front of him. As Tianchi said in the Northern Desert, the barbarian territory is indeed different from the ordinary game area, and even the night stalkers who came over seem to have been affected to a certain extent, and the logic of action has begun to become more and more biased towards human thinking.
Mo Qianying walked through the middle of the village, and several children ran past him, one of the little girls smiled brightly at him and gave him half of the baked naan in her hand, as if thanking him for saving the people of the village last night.
This feeling is very strange, Mo Qianying never expected to have such a real interaction with NPCs in such a non-quest state. He was under the impression that these NPCs were more often a moving background when the player was not in contact with him.
Mo Qianying continued to walk forward, and met several more villagers who were tidying up, and the women who survived were full of sadness, as if they were at a loss for the death of their loved ones. When they saw Mo Qianying, they first took a step back in fear, and then stepped forward again, bending down to greet Mo Qianying.
From this, it is clear that these NPCs are beginning to have a mental activity, and they will show fear for Mo Qianying who slaughtered the barbarian soldiers, but at the same time express gratitude for saving the villagers. Although it is obvious that their emotional transition is not smooth, it has already changed dramatically.
Mo Qianying stopped in front of a dilapidated thatched house, raised his hand and knocked on the door, he went back after throwing the night owl here last night, and he didn't know what happened to this guy, he suddenly lay on the ground and slew, and it was also thanks to the Northern Desert Tianchi who pulled out the nearby barbarian strongholds, otherwise he didn't know what strange things would happen during the time when Mo Qianying was offline.
The door creaked open, but it wasn't the night owl who opened it, but a beautiful barbarian girl. Last night, the lights were dim, and Mo Qianying couldn't see the appearance of most people, so she was very unfamiliar with this barbarian girl. However, none of this is the point now, the point is that the night stalker still encountered strange things after all.
"Ahh You're his companion, aren't you? He had just woken up, and it seemed that nothing was wrong. The barbarian girl was a little surprised when she saw Mo Qianying, and immediately dodged out of the way and motioned for Mo Qianying to enter.
Mo Qianying still maintained a stunned appearance, raised her feet and stepped into the room, then turned her head to look at the night owl leaning on the bed, and then turned her head to look at the slightly shy barbarian girl next to her.
Mo Qianying narrowed her eyes and asked tentatively, "Did something happen to the two of you last night?" ”
The night owl looked at him blankly: "How do I know, you have to ask her about this." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the barbarian girl by the door, looking at him like this, either he didn't care what happened, or he didn't understand what Mo Qianying's words meant.
Fortunately, the other person present understood Mo Qianying's words, and the barbarian girl immediately became anxious, and hurriedly said, "Why are you Central Plains people like this? We...... I'm innocent with him! ”
After listening to the girl's words, even if the night owl was sluggish, he seemed to be able to react to what was going on, and immediately turned his eyes to look at Mo Qianying fiercely, and without saying a word, he touched the dagger on the table, and threw it at Mo Qianying's head with a flick of his hand.
Mo Qianying hurriedly locked his head and hid outside the door, the two daggers came quickly and urgently, hitting the door panel and leaving only the handle of the knife outside, it can be imagined that the night owl was killed in anger just now.
The barbarian girl next to her obviously didn't understand what was going on with these two people, they were obviously companions, but at the moment they were like enemies who didn't share the sky, and they actually hit each other so heavily with each other without saying a word.
"Cut!" Seeing that Mo Qianying had dodged, the night owl snorted very unpleasantly, and then ignored him and leaned back on the bed in silence.
After Mo Qianying was sure that the guy was not chasing, he walked in from the outside again, he was not surprised by the reaction of the night owl, but he felt that this guy actually gave up after missing a hit, which was very different from his previous style.
It is important to know that all NPCs' action patterns must follow a set personality AI, so there will be no temporary changes in NPCs' personalities. Now that Night Stalker's personality is gradually changing, it can be seen that he has begun to have a relatively mature mode of thinking. The growth of this mode of thinking is really terrifying when it happens to NPCs.
This kind of uncanny valley theoretical experience, even Mo Qianying felt very uncomfortable. As the boundaries between reality and fiction blur, it's hard to imagine what will happen in the future.
During the time when Mo Qianying was in a trance, the barbarian girl had already chatted with the night owl, according to her own words, her family had died at the hands of the barbarian soldiers last night, and now her only reliance was the eldest brother who left the village a few years ago to work in the barbarian imperial capital.
When Mo Qianying heard her words, she instantly had an ominous premonition. Based on his experience with countless quests, this is clearly the standard starting point for NPCs to post quests.
Sure enough, after listening to her words, the night owl patted his chest on the spot and took the initiative to take her on the road. After speaking, he stared at Mo Qianying very fiercely, as if he only needed to say a word, he would immediately be hit by him like a storm.
However, at this time, Mo Qianying was very confused, he was very sure that this was a task issued by the barbarian girl, but for some reason, until the night owl agreed, he still did not receive the task prompt given to him by the system. He habitually flipped through the task list, but no matter how many times he refreshed it, it still didn't update the task.
Is it a bug? Why does this game also have bugs?
Mo Qianying's mind was full of questions.
"Hey! What the hell do you think, hurry up and give me an answer. The night owl finally couldn't help but yell at Mo Qianying.
"Huh? Oh! Do whatever you want! I'm coming with you anyway......" Mo Qianying said as she suddenly thought of something, flipped through the task list again, and dragged out the revenge mission related to the night owl.
I saw that the task description has completely changed, originally there was only one enemy to find the night stalker, but now it has directly added a help to the night stalker to escort the barbarian girl to find his brother.
"Why can I temporarily add conditions to the task?" Mo Qianying was dumbfounded, feeling like she was going crazy.
