Chapter 29: Don’t kill your own people
I love that Berserker is a player with good luck and a player who is very good at taking advantage of loopholes.
He ventured out of the North Forest, met the first group of wild NPCs, and then accidentally triggered the first quest of the expansion pack.
Ever since the incident with I Love Berserker, many players have been unable to concentrate on leveling up, and have been thinking about how to leave the North Forest every day.
Fortunately, there are too many powerful monsters in the North Forest, and most players do not have the patience and agility of my beloved Berserker, so they are defeated one after another.
But this does not prevent everyone from caring about the development of I Love Berserker, and his live broadcast room has always been full.
Everyone wants to see what the missions of the first expansion pack are like, as well as what the mission processes and rewards are like.
From the live broadcast room of I Love Berserker these days, we can see the general situation and development on his side.
I love the Berserker. A few days ago, I followed Alia and others on the magic circle and came directly to a human main city.
In the human main city, unprovoked fighting and killing are strictly prohibited.
Not being able to kill monsters means not being able to plunder life points.
Without life points, there is no way to upgrade.
My beloved Berserker can't find any place to upgrade. His upgrade progress has been stuck. Not to mention changing his job, he is still just a basic little skeleton and he even lost his bone knife.
Although the start was a bit difficult, I love Berserker and I don't intend to give up.
Based on the suggestions provided by the project team, he began to prepare to collect a large amount of relevant information about the human main city, and tried his best to develop the content of the expansion pack and new intelligence information.
However, new problems arose.
…
"They've kept me here for days!"
I love the Berserker with a sad face, crying in the live broadcast room: "Since returning to the magic academy in the human main city, that little girl has not come to see me anymore."
"A bunch of people I don't know locked me up here and sent several magic puppets to keep a close watch on me, as if I were a monster."
"The most perverted thing is that there are a few old men who take a bunch of drugs made of unknown materials and apply them on my bones every day."
"Look, my ribs, my thigh bones, and my skull have all lost their former luster! Some places have even turned black!"
"This is such a fucking rubbish expansion pack mission. It doesn't even give me any hints. I don't even know what to do next."
"I can only stay in this dark little room every day, waiting for the daily application of medicine and undergoing various inhumane experiments!"
I love Berserker's complaints in the live broadcast room, which has become something he must do every day.
Because he really had no choice but to complain.
This room was dark and small, without even a bed or a table! There was only a closed door and a window!
I love that the Berserker simply couldn't leave the room. No matter if he climbed through the window, knocked on the door, or forced his way out, he would be caught by those insanely powerful magic puppets and locked up again.
"What a pitiful anchor."
"I just came here to see who is the top anchor of the forum, but I didn't expect him to be so pathetic."
"Lao Kuang, you've been locked up for several days, hurry up and think of a way to get out!"
"There is no live broadcast effect. It's not fun to watch the anchor being confined. I'm going to go to another live broadcast room."
"Don't go, brother. It's going to be exciting soon."
"Several old men will be here to play the Skeleton Experiment game soon. It's really fun. The host's voice will become very elegant."
"Fuck, so strong? I'll wait before I leave."
I have given up on loving the Berserker. He is like a salted fish. Now he just wants to play cards and waste the rest of his life.
Anyway, the club pays him a minimum salary every month, so he is not in a hurry.
Let's just wait and see. You NPCs can't keep me locked up forever, can you?
The project team had no better solution to the current situation. They analyzed a lot of official information and finally agreed that waiting was the best solution.
There is no way. The official has made it clear that all details and NPC activities in the expansion pack world will be extremely realistic.
Think about it, if in a real fantasy world, a group of people saw the evil undead creatures that really existed in their worldview, would they still be friends with them?
Locking yourself up to do research is the right idea!
Therefore, the project team believes that the NPC's approach is indeed correct and is very consistent with the NPC thinking settings in the official materials.
As for this mission...
The project team had completely given up and had no idea what to do. The mission itself was to impersonate Alia's summoned creature and then help Alia graduate.
But now, the mission is stuck.
The quest NPC Alia is missing, and my beloved Berserker has been captured and locked up in an unknown building in the magic academy.
The mission cannot be carried out.
Now there seems to be no better way except waiting.
This wait lasted for several days, and I almost got sick from loving Berserker.
"Come on, come on, let me play a few rounds of Landlord first."
I love Berserker, so I opened the mini-game in the live broadcast room of the game forum and started playing Landlord to pass the time.
"Here we go again, the rip-off anchor is making fun of the audience, I want to report it!"
"I don't want to watch Landlords, I want to watch the Skeleton Experiment!"
"The live broadcast content does not match the category. I want to report it! Revoke your live broadcast certificate!"
I Love Berserker glanced at the comments and rolled my eyes: "What's wrong with that? I'm a game live streamer, I live stream playing games, isn't that right?"
The netizens were speechless.
That being said, the game you are live streaming is [Death Scourge], not Landlord!
"Right A!"
"I can't bear it."
Just when I, the Berserker, was playing cards to kill time, I heard people talking outside the door and the sound of a magic puppet opening the door.
"Fuck, you're here so soon?"
I love Berserker was shocked: "Why is it so early today? I didn't run away. Why do they have to start the skeleton experiment now?"
When I thought of that inhumane experiment, I, the Berserker Lover, couldn't help but shudder.
Even though he reduced his perception of pain to a minimum, he still felt terrified when he saw a group of white-haired old men lying on his skeleton body and messing with it.
"Here it comes! The most exciting part of this live broadcast room is here!"
"Watching Lao Kuang being abused by the old men every day is my happiest moment."
"The host has boundless love and uses his own pain to achieve our happiness."
The water friends were very excited.
Everyone can see the perspective of my love for Berserker through the live broadcast screen.
“Squeak.”
The door was opened and the sunlight from outside shone in.
The reflections of several people outside the door stretched out and were cast into the room. I, the Berserker, saw clearly that they were still the old magicians that I often met in the past few days.
Here they come again.
"Hey, something's wrong!"
I Love Berserker was originally prepared to be experimented on, but he soon discovered something strange: "There are a few more people."
Alia, who had not appeared for several days, appeared again.
The members of the original adventure team, Swordsman Sabie and the priest, also showed up.
A large group of people rushed into the room, surrounded the Berserker, and stared at him with serious expressions.
The poor skeleton soldier couldn't help but tremble under everyone's gaze.
What's going on? Why is there such a big fuss? I'm just a weakest skeleton soldier!
I love the Berserker was panicking. He glanced nervously at the NPC in front of him, then approached Alia cautiously: "My respected master, what should I do now?"
"Sure enough, it only shows its human side when it sees Alia."
An old man nodded and said seriously: "It is indeed different from ordinary undead creatures. Sometimes I even suspect that it is a human covered in skeletons."
Another old man spoke up: "Don't be ridiculous. No matter how much it looks like a human, it can't change its nature as a ghost."
I love the Berserker and I don't bother to pay attention to these sadistic old men. It just keeps staring at Alia.
Although the skeleton has no eyes, Alia can sense the gaze of the Berserker.
Alia's expression was complicated. She looked at the skeleton soldier in front of her and whispered, "I'm sorry..."
What does it mean?
Why are you saying sorry to me for no reason?
I love the Berserker and was unable to react for a moment. His summoner said "sorry" to his summoned creature?
"It's over. Old Kuang must be cheated on."
"Alia, stop being crazy!"
"I'll definitely forgive you, please wear it, old man."
I love Berserker and held it in for a long time before I asked, "My respected master, have you found a new summoned creature and are you going to abandon me?"
"Ah? No, no."
Alia quickly waved her hands to explain. She paused, then said apologetically, "You are my first summoned creature. I will always remember you."
"What's the meaning?"
Before my beloved Berserker could come to his senses, he was grabbed by several magic puppets and taken away from the room.
When leaving the room, I only had time to hear a few words of conversation between the old men and Alia.
"Send this undead soul to the Temple of Light for purification. The Magic Academy adventure team will also go to the Temple of Light to be questioned by the priest of light."
"Alia, don't be afraid. The Temple of Light won't hurt you."
"I know, teacher."
"Alas, this is the order of His Majesty the King. His Majesty trusts the Temple too much. The Temple of Light will never allow the existence of any undead."
…
I love that the Berserker was captured by the magic puppets and put on the magic carriage, and then secretly sent to the Temple of Light.
Several light priests in white robes received the skeleton soldier.
The Berserker was pinned to his knees by the magic puppet, unable to move. He watched helplessly as the white-robed priests took out their magic wands, and then got a bottle of white holy water from somewhere.
They want to purify me!
I love Berserker and feel very frustrated.
I finally got a mission, but before I even start it, I’m going to die?
This expansion pack is too difficult!
I Love Berserker reminded me of the NPC strategy content on the game forum. The NPCs in Death Scourge are all very smart. Some NPCs from the Kingdom of God are praised and praised by players so much that they will give some small rewards.
So if I say something nice now, will I not have to die?
This may be a turning point in the mission!
"Hey, let's make a deal, can you please not kill me?"
The Berserker raised his head, trying hard to prove his innocence: "Don't look at me as a skeleton, but I was actually a devout believer of light when I was alive."
I love the Berserker's defense: "We are all family, family members don't kill each other..."
"How dare you blaspheme God's dignity!"
A priest in a white robe was very angry. He growled, "Undead creatures are not worthy of being God's followers!"
"You lying undead, we will purify you today! No evil is allowed to exist in this pure world!"
Another priest held aloft holy water, about to drip on the bones of the I Love Berserker.
I don't know why, but when I see holy water, I feel a little nervous.
This was the panic that came from the undead's instinct. He knew that if this holy water fell, he would definitely die.
“Don’t be like this!”
I Love Berserker felt a little wronged: "You guys treat me like this, aren't you afraid that I will report you for abusing players? Can we talk nicely? I just want to complete a mission."
"You don't want to be purified?"
Another elderly priest suddenly spoke up. He looked at me, the Berserker, his old eyes full of wisdom.
He didn't care about the weird words like "NPC" and "player" that the skeleton kept mentioning. In his opinion, most undead creatures were mentally disturbed creatures. However, the mental disorder of the skeleton soldier in front of him was slightly lower, at least he could communicate normally.
"Yes, yes, yes! I want to live!"
I love the Berserker nodding frantically, he felt that the mission had turned around.
"very good."
The old priest nodded and said with a smile: "The dean of magic said that you are very smart, as smart as a human. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do."
"Yes, yes! A skeleton as smart as mine must be a rare creature. It would be a shame to kill it."
I love the Berserker and laughed, "Don't kill me, I'm useful."
The old priest smiled and said, "Undead creatures are never afraid of death. I have never seen someone so afraid of death as you are."
I love the Berserker was stunned, he felt very aggrieved.
Why is this old man so mean?
If it wasn't for completing the mission in the expansion pack, would I kneel down and lick your ass?
Believe it or not, when I change my job, I will kill you with one blow!
"Yes, yes, I am afraid of death. I am very afraid of death."
I love Berserker. I nodded, rolling my eyes in my heart. Never mind, you are just an NPC, just a bunch of data. I, Berserker, will not be angry with you anymore.
"Um."
The old pastor nodded and asked, "Then answer my question. As long as you satisfy me, I can not purify you."
"Just ask, NPC master."
"Tell me why the undead appeared in the North Forest."
The old priest said calmly, "Has the gate to the world of the dead been opened? Are you the only undead in the North Forest? Are there other undead creatures?"
"I……"
I Love Berserker was just about to speak when at this moment, a prompt sound came from the Godhead System.
[Dear player, you have triggered the world-class mission! "The Safety of the Undead"! ]
[Safety of the Undead]: The Light Temple forces of the Esk Continent have already noticed the presence of undead creatures. They will threaten the safety of the undead. As a member of the undead, you cannot betray the undead camp! Your every move is watched by the Lord of Death.
