Chapter 670: Chapter 502 Role-playing Feature Test 1.0

The piercing cold wind drilled into Lind’s clothes but was quickly turned into a warm breeze by the high temperature emanating from his body at all times.

The black and white wolves, after determining Lind posed no threat, quietly approached his side to enjoy the caress of the warm wind.

"This is it!"

I, Thunder God Thor, took hold of a peculiar stone that wasn’t a Magic Ore because Lind didn’t feel any Magic Power from it. His senses for magic were now incredibly acute.

A dragon is naturally a "Mage," and sensing the magical traces around had become an instinct for Lind.

However, the power of the Knights of the Apocalypse was no longer considered mainstream by him. Apart from the Molten Flame Knight’s power, all other powers were mere "life hacks" in the Magic World, fascinating to look at but more decorative than practical.

"Key item!"

His belief was strong, making even Lind, who would’ve dismissed it at a glance, take another two looks at it.

Upon careful appraisal, well, it’s junk.

"Lord Black Knight, leave it to me!" said I, Thunder God Thor, looking at Lind intently, his gaze burning. "Quest!"

Getting a broken stone from who knows where and scamming for a quest, have the Undead evolved to this extent?

"Where did you get this?"

"Bought it."

Lind’s next sentence suddenly got stuck in his throat.

But the Undead opened the floodgates of speech, thinking that they must have missed something, which caused the quest to stall and not progress further. Don’t expect the Undead to act on normal human logic; no matter how real this world seems, the ability to log in and out proves it’s a game, and since it’s a game, it has to be played with game logic.

An NPC not engaging in dialogue could be due to insufficient favorability, or it might be stuck on a certain quest step. In any case, it’s certainly not because the "key item" in their hand is a fake.

Game thinking, the key item bought at a high price must be of some use.

"I sold all my storage inventory and my equipment to complete this quest, my lord. I even sold my weapon, now all I have left is this set of cotton armor."

Lind, under the hopeful gaze of the Undead, took the "junk" stone.

It wasn’t out of overwhelming kindness; the Undead are cheap-skinned, and exploiting them is part of the fun of the game. Don’t listen to their gibberish, or you’ll surely fall for a scam.

He was just considering another possibility.

Junk bought by the Undead at a heavy price—if he could weave a story around this sort of junk, maybe he could make a killing by shearing the unwitting.

Lord Lind’s thoughts had changed. In the past, he wanted to provide better attribute equipment; now, he just wanted to exchange trash directly for money, especially since his identity was transforming.

Before, he had no identity—whether a wild monster or the self-proclaimed chief of Newbie Village, now he had the clout to influence whether this game would immediately launch a new version update.

As long as he kept improving his strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to end up as an "unofficial NPC" on the official website.

Why hasn’t the 2.0 version ended yet? Has the Black Knight "died," or is it that the officials also gained some benefits in the interim and want everything to continue as usual?

"Sir?"

I, Thunder God Thor, was anxiously scratching his head and face.

He began to recall whether there was some CG cutscene that he wasn’t able to see.

Lind reconfirmed, "This stone is useless, just an old piece of rock. Searching for its meaning here with me is less productive than asking the person who sold it to you."

"Fuck, these NPCs are too shady."

Listening to the Undead spew profanities, Lind chuckled.

There is no shortage of cunning and deceptive NPCs. In this world, the people who can survive are mostly very shrewd. It’s too naïve to believe everything others say.

The Undead is dumb enough, gullible enough, and Lind is definitely not the only one who knows it. Perhaps all the natives who have had contact with the Undead have long been aware.

Still not giving up, he insisted, "Sir, what brings you here? Was that battle in the Noisy Snow Mountain Range for finding something?"

Quests are all about the conversation.

Lind silently ate.

Don’t look at me; I’m just an NPC. Without written lines, I can’t react.

It could also be interpreted as you haven’t completed a critical prerequisite quest, and therefore, the storyline can’t be triggered.

In any case, Lind is free to act in any illogical manner, while the Undead will try to rationalize his actions with reasonable explanations.

Not getting the information he wanted, the Undead made a gesture of taking off his helmet and disappeared – to the restroom, to eat, or simply called away by someone. Everyone was used to the Undead vanishing.

Lind inquired of the local ahead, "What is this country?"

"Holy Herman Kingdom, under the rule of the Snow Peak Sect."

The villagers, aware of Lind’s formidable power, knew they must not offend him.

"Snow Peak Sect?"

The Holy Herman Kingdom has a limited land area, is cold all year round, but is rich in fishing resources, and there are many mutated species that have adapted perfectly to this country.

The Snow Peak Sect is the ruler of this small country with a population less than 3,000 people.

"The most powerful archon of the Snow Peak Sect, who worships the Furnace Lord, is a mighty Heroic Rank Great Knight."

A Heroic Rank Great Knight, likely between level 31-40, is considered a powerful expert on this continent. Unless someone like Lind has the blood of Old Nobility, a Divine Skin gifted by Deities, and over a dozen Crests on his body, their power certainly will not exceed third-circle.

The speaker’s eyes held admiration; he was not so foolish to think Lind’s strength was inferior to the head of the Snow Peak Sect. Instead, he understood that, while he could work hard and perhaps have the chance to become a hero, reaching Lind’s level was impossible through effort alone.
