Ning Shu’s lips twitched, then she looked at [Flowing Cool Breeze] and said, “Useless trash. You can’t even do something as simple as picking an herb?”
[Flowing Cool Breeze]: …
This NPC sure changed her attitude ruthlessly. It was said that women were fickle, but even an NPC was designed to have this kind of personality?
[Flowing Cool Breeze] felt like he had been insulted and left awkwardly.
During the following period of time, Ning Shu greeted a lot of players that came to tackle this part of the storyline, but none of them succeeded. This was to be expected though. The game had only been released recently, so the players were all pretty low-leveled, unused to the controls, and didn’t have good equipment.
Meanwhile, this was a mid-level stage and that spider’s attack power was very strong. The biggest challenge was that this spider even had nests of smaller spiders.
Whenever it encountered danger, it would spawn countless small spiders.
Ning Shu spent each day in a leisurely manner without having to eat or breathe or even excrete waste.
She wanted to try practicing the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, but soon gave up when it didn’t work. This body was just a string of numbers, so what was the point of trying to practice martial arts?
It was the first time her task had been so carefree. Ning Shu took a walk around her surroundings. She found the monkshood celestial grass and saw the abnormally large spider. It was about the size of two desks and its entire body was covered with black fur. It also had a bulging swollen abdomen that was filled with spider webs. Its fangs were pretty scary too.
The large spider completely ignored Ning Shu because it didn’t receive any instructions to attack. Even if Ning Shu took the monkshood celestial grass, the large spider wouldn’t pay any attention to her.
Ning Shu didn’t bother to pick the herb though because she had no use for it, and there was no point doing something that went against her role.
There were always players coming to try this quest and Ning Shu would follow the system’s instructions to very sweetly have these players go die.
Pretty much everyone that entered came out with a few less levels.
After a short while, [Flowing Cool Breeze] came again.
Ning Shu didn’t find it strange that he came back. In certain ways, the original host was [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s gold thumb.
This time, [Flowing Cool Breeze] didn’t come by himself, he brought three other people with him. It looked like they were going to go in as a team. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to deal with the large spider on his own so he brought more people.
Ning Shu looked at the IDs above the three. They were [A Chrysanthemum Opening Towards the South], [Crotch Feels Cool From Wind], and [Monster’s Really Strong You Go First].
Ning Shu was speechless. What kind of names were these? However, these people would become famous gaming gods in the future. They were [Flowing Cool Breeze]’s companions and when they encountered hard quests and strong monsters, they’d take the quest with [Flowing Cool Breeze] and sweep all the monsters out of their way.
[A Chrysanthemum Opening Towards the South] looked towards Ning Shu as he said, “Wow, first time I’ve ever seen such a beautiful NPC! I’ve been spending every day in the newbie village looking at the village chief, that rotten old man’s wrinkled face. If I knew about this earlier, I would’ve headed out ages ago.”
Right now, most of the players were still wandering around the newbie village. These people’s levels weren’t very high either. [Flowing Cool Breeze] was probably hoping to win against the eight clawed poisonous spider with numbers. Ning Shu felt like these people were seriously too naive.
[Flowing Cool Breeze] glanced at Ning Shu as he said, “This NPC’s personality’s a little strange, so don’t provoke her.”
Ning Shu pretended that she couldn’t hear what [Flowing Cool Breeze] said and repeated the quest. “Hero, this humble girl has accidently sprained her foot. Could you head into the valley to help this humble girl find an herb called monkshood celestial grass? This humble girl will definitely reward you generously.”
[Flowing Cool Breeze] glanced at Ning Shu who was currently making herself look very pitiful, then accepted the quest before entering with his companions.
Ning Shu shrugged. She’d be waiting for the day they return in triumph. This quest’s reward was pretty generous. Not only would they get the celestial grass and the equipment dropped by the giant spider, she would also be giving them a reward.
