Chapter 504 - Falcon (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Falcon was a middle-aged man that was over 40. His eyes were as sharp as that of an eagle with hidden murderous intent. He had a hooked nose and straight eyebrows slanting inwards, he was just like a falcon searching for its prey. Although he purposely disguised himself into a refined and cultured gentleman, he was unable to hide that pair of cold, sharp eyes.

‘This is an NPC?’ Lin Jie would never believe that no matter what. Lin Jie had also impersonated an NPC and had seven years of experience from his previous life, his understanding of NPCs and the game were much deeper than normal people.

Although the NPCs in The New Age had high intelligence, they still kept the unique habit of NPCs, such as waking up as the sun rose and resting as the sun set, or the aristocratic etiquette, which emphasized on ranks, and so on.

Maybe others might believe that Falcon was an NPC, but Lin Jie was 100% sure that that NPC was definitely not an NPC, but a player.

Identify!

[Falcon] (Rare NPC)

Level: 50

Health Points: 7,600

Attack: ??? (Unidentifiable)

Defense: 550

Note: Falcon is a space traveler and a space merchant.

‘Health Points 7,600, Defense 550, space traveler, Hmph…’ Lin Jie already had some conjecture in his mind! However, this person’s transformation item was quite powerful, it could even create a system note.

Transforming into an NPC within the Never Setting Sun, he must have other intentions. However, after seeing such a name, Lin Jie suddenly associated it with another person. It was Hungry Tiger, who had grasped three top-tier techniques and was a member of the overbearing mysterious organization.

Lin Jie frowned and was deep in thought. ‘The powerful mysterious organization’s member Hungry Tiger, a teleportation circle that’s ahead of time, Falcon that pretends to be an NPC, is there a connection between the three?’ If he had to make a bold guess and assume that the NPC was the same as Hungry Tiger, they were both members of the mysterious organization, then the teleportation circle that he had encountered that day would most likely be something that they had created. If that was so, then it was highly possible that they had other comrades.

If all his conjectures were true, then what was those people’s goal? Hungry Tiger’s identity had always been that of a player, but the fellow in front had become an NPC, and he also had the note from the system?

Lin Jie could not figure it out no matter how much he wracked his brain, so he decided to first try coming into contact with him. As for the plan to destroy the Guild Base, he temporarily postponed it.

After squeezing into the crowd, Lin Jie queued up like normal players to wait and talk to the NPC. The players that were in the front were all elated, their expressions were those of extreme happiness, but they had to keep it in.

‘That expression…’ Lin Jie was also very familiar with it. Back then, when he had become the Munjo Ogre King and released the “hidden mission”, the pitiful Mage that had accepted the mission also seemed to have such an expression.

Finally, it was Lin Jie’s turn.

When Falcon looked at Lin Jie’s gear, a shred of astonishment flashed in his eyes, as if he was shocked that there was such an expert player with all Dark Gold equipment in the Guild Base. Only the core members of the elite team would be able to own such items.

Meanwhile, normally, the elite team members’ schedule was strictly planned. Basically, if they were not clearing dungeons, then they were on the way to the dungeon. It would be rare for them to have the time to stroll around.

“Hello human from alternate realms, greetings to you, I am the space traveler.” A sense of coldness could obviously be heard from Falcon’s voice, causing his voice to become rigid and mechanical. “I need large amounts of goods to build a spatial teleportation circle for myself, could you help me?”

“Teleportation circle?” Lin Jie sneered in his heart, he was not 100% sure that this so-called NPC was someone that had come out of that mysterious teleportation circle in the Spider Den. “What do you need? Maybe I can help you.”

Falcon’s voice was calm and deep, without any emotions, as if he was reading from a script written by the system. “Time Sand, Space Mirror, Grey Feather, Angel’s Eye… I need 100 portions of each item.”

Lin Jie was astonished. “For Time Sand and Space Mirror, although they are items that can only be found in maps over Level 100, it is still possible to obtain them if we use numbers. However, where can I even find the Angel’s Eye?”

Falcon was elated. From what Lin Jie said, he seemed to even be someone at the level of a team leader or vice team leader? Not bad, the materials he needed now were only dropped in high-level maps, so not to mention hiring those normal players, even if it were Bandits like Shadow Kill’s Grim Reaper or Star Kill, they would not be able to steal the materials out from the map. The only way was to use numbers!

The strategy was to use a massive number of people to attract the attention of the monsters, and then arrange for other people to take the chance to obtain the materials. However, that meant a loss of benefits for everyone in exchange for high-grade materials, whose use was unknown, no major guild would do such a thing.

However, that was Falcon’s only way now. After he heard what Lin Jie had said, he put on an unfathomable look and took out a Skill Book. He smiled slightly. “This is a Skill Book obtained from a land of another space, it’s called [Mountain-Crushing Strike], I ‘ll give it to you first.”
