Mo Yun blankly stared at Ludwig as he walked in, a look of shock on his face.
"Holy moly, how did you find this place?"
"Holy moly, there's a stalker!"
"Holy moly, I don't want special training!"
Mo Yun's face twisted for a moment, then he said ingratiatingly,
"Um, Lord Ludwig, I'm feeling a bit unwell today, can we skip the special training?"
Ludwig frowned as he looked at Mo Yun in front of him.
Being sick? That could be troublesome.
He had previously placed a magic marker on Mo Yun, which was how he managed to find Mo Yun's home directly.
Ludwig's golden eyes sized up Mo Yun before he raised his right hand, enveloping Mo Yun in a pale green Magic Light.
A moment later, Ludwig grabbed Mo Yun by the neck with his right hand and picked him up like a cat.
"All right, I've seen enough. Your body is perfectly healthy," he announced.
"Slacking off won't do. You need more exercise. How can a hero be so lax?"
The powerless Mo Yun whimpered miserably, eventually hanging helplessly from Ludwig's hand.
I give up, the intelligence of these game NPCs is just too high.
She had actually become quite familiar with Ludwig, otherwise she wouldn't have endured training under him for three or four days before she couldn't resist running away.
Ludwig was definitely an important NPC, but this guy didn't act human at all!
In Mo Yun's eyes, Ludwig was a severe case of someone with a 'hero complex,' always going on about some hero training program.
Most importantly, I've played along with him for so long now, and he hasn't given me a single task. That's really too much.
But now, Mo Yun really had no way to resist Ludwig; she could only behave and obey.
Zhao Zhao, who had been sitting at the table, quickly put away the doll parts he was holding. Currently, he could only control two dolls at the same time and they were low-level dolls, so naturally, he had spare dolls to use.
However, Zhao Zhao did not intend to stop Ludwig. Although Mo Yun always complained, both of them felt that Ludwig definitely harbored some secrets. It might just require a lot of effort to discover them.
Just like when they first started the game and met Lis Kain.
He decided to follow and see if he could uncover anything from Ludwig.
Just then, a figure walked out from outside.
"Ludwig, this isn't right," he said.
"How can you force someone to accept your training?"
A gentle voice came through, and at the sound of this familiar voice, Mo Yun and Zhao Zhao suddenly looked up.
Sure enough, they saw Lis smiling happily in front of them.
This was the most important NPC for both of them. In a way, being president of the White Dove Chamber of Commerce, he was also their boss. How could he be here?
Had he come with Ludwig?
Mo Yun had seen Lis with Ludwig before, but she hadn't seen Lis afterward and thought they were just regular friends. But now she wasn't so sure.
"So what do you suggest?"
Ludwig, unconcerned, curiously asked Lis.
Truth be told, as a Golden Dragon who grew up on Dragon Island, Ludwig's understanding of the Human Kingdom came more from his elders and books, so sometimes he couldn't grasp human thoughts very well.
Of course, even if Ludwig could comprehend the ideas of ordinary people, he would still find it hard to understand the wild ideas of the players.
"Alright, first, let go!"
Lis shrugged his shoulders. Seeing Mo Yun in this condition, and having learned about her special training process from Ludwig on the way here, he had already guessed why Mo Yun was behaving this way.
"Mo Yun, Ludwig is my friend. If possible, could you collaborate with him and give his ideas a try?"
Mo Yun's eyes lit up when she saw Lis.
The rewards from this big guy are quite generous!
I don't want anything extra, just give me some more White Dove Chamber of Commerce contribution points!
Mo Yun had long been eyeing a beautiful sky blue Mage Robe in the exchange store. However, it was a silver-level Magic Equipment, and Mo Yun still needed a lot more contribution points to get it.
Before Mo Yun could nod in agreement, a new system message appeared before her eyes.
[Gold-level Series Task (First Ring): Path of the Hero!]
[Designated Exclusive Task: Player [Mo Yun]]
[Task Requirements: Lis's good friend, Golden Dragon Ludwig, hopes to train you into the hero he envisions. Please explore the specific task requirements on your own.]
[Task Reward: 200k Experience, 1000 White Dove Chamber of Commerce contribution points, additional rewards will be issued depending on task completion.]
Mo Yun's eyes dazzled by the golden glow of the task information on the system panel.
Is good fortune finally about to fall upon me?
This guy is a Golden Dragon?
Mo Yun glanced at Ludwig's signature golden hair and golden eyes, and suddenly understood why he was friends with Lis.
Indeed, the friends of main characters in the plot are not simple characters!
Mo Yun's mouth almost watered, she quickly clasped Ludwig's hands tightly, excitedly saying,
"Mr. Ludwig, I've finally understood your painstaking efforts. Please rest assured, I will train diligently!"
Ludwig looked at Mo Yun, whose attitude had suddenly changed, and then turned to look at Lis.
Did you use the Confusion Control System spell? How did you manage that?
Ludwig suddenly realized he still had much to learn from Lis.
