At this moment, Zhuo Houyi’s hands were trembling as he moved the goods.
A Purple Name NPC, how could he ever come across a Purple Name NPC!
He’s a guild player, he understood the significance of a Purple Name NPC more than MO Guanji did!
This indicated that the other party was among the top players in the whole “Heavenly Dust,” likely one of the most prominent ones!
No need to worry about the Orange Name above the Purple Names for now. The nature of most games is that those are set up as the final big bosses. In fact, even when Lu Xun played games in his previous life, he never saw an Orange Name NPC.
“I should latch onto this guy!” This thought immediately popped into Zhuo
Houyi’s head.
Not to mention he’s just a middle-ranking officer in the guild, but even the usually arrogant rich second-generation Guild leader would instantly become a sycophant when faced with a Purple Name.
That’s how players are, they fervently curry favor with the strongest NPCs, gain their own benefits, and then oppress other players!
—Seek fortune in flattery!
The Knight Guild he’s part of has an unwritten but well-accepted rule: be the mount to the NPC, be the knight among players.
Zhuo Houyi immediately felt an energy boost, eager to get close to the legendary Purple Name NPC.
This time he is definitely going to make a name for himself. The rich second-generation Guild leader will certainly give him a huge bonus. How wonderful!
Regrettably, the new quest he had just taken had to be completed first. After quickly moving all the goods, Zhuo Houyi said to MO Guanji solemnly: “Brother, I owe you a huge favor this time!”
Their friendship instantly elevated.
Outside of Tong County, in a small grove, Zhuo Houyi and MO Guanji had already added each other as friends and switched to team mode. They hurried towards the location of the carriage.
By the time they got to the carriage, they saw the two longswords that were forced to fly out by Lu Xun’s finger strike.
MO Guanji had already described to Zhuo Houyi what happened back then.
Zhuo Houyi visualized the scene, feeling blown away by the awesomeness!
With a swipe of his finger, his opponent’s longsword flew away uncontrollably. How cool was that!
He really wanted to pick up the two swords, but did not dare to.
In the end, MO Guanji, the more courageous one, ran over cheerily and picked up the swords, one for each of them.
As they approached the carriage, both Zhuo Houyi and MO Guanji acted more cautiously.
“Sir, I have brought the person,” MO Guanji spoke, as if he was submitting a task.
“Very good,” Lu Xun stepped down from the carriage, choosing task completed, then gave him ten silvers.
Murong Yan and Ji Li followed him down from the carriage. Upon seeing the two women, MO Guanji and Zhuo Houyi were slightly taken aback.
Whether it’s Murong Yan or Ji Li, both are Yellow Name NPCs. Most of the basic facts about Murong Yan are unknown. On the other hand, Ji Li’s information is less mysterious due to her low level.
Upon Lu Xun’s order, Ji Li put on a veil and wore a robe that concealed her figure.
He did not want Ji Li’s picture to be posted on forums by players. Her innocent face combined with her voluptuous body would be clickbait for otakus, wouldn’t it?
With a ton of people replying tactlessly “I’m done” under the forum post, Lu Xun would need to note their gamer tags and kill them one by one, how tiring would that be.
Lu Xun turned his gaze to Zhuo Houyi, feeling that his name seemed somewhat familiar…
“Oh! Now I remember, this guy is from the Knight Guild, under the leadership of that rich second-generation kid.”
Lu Xun had taken tasks from the Knight Guild before, serving as their auxiliary force, secretly undermining people early on and reaping the rewards later.
He once joined Zhuo Houyi’s team and was very impressed with the captain’s enthusiastic demeanor which seemed a little fanatical.
