Chapter 4 NPC Friends

Chapter 4 NPC Friends (this chapter is free)

When I woke up, I looked at the time and saw that it was exactly 12 o'clock in the middle of the night. I ate something and went to the toilet to get ready to start going online. A white light flashed and I appeared in the alley again. Strange, when did it become so noisy! Looking around, isn’t it?

You have no idea what I saw! "Ghost!" In front of him was a kind-looking old man with white hair, but his body was translucent and he had no legs. He was floating in the air like a cloud below the waist.

"What? Child, how did you get here?" The old man was wrong because it must have been an old ghost floating towards me.

I shook my head and calmed down a little. This was a game, and it was normal for ghosts to appear. With this idea, I was no longer afraid. "I got lost and came here. I came here in the morning but there was nothing here, so I went offline first and came up just now."

The old man floated in front of me. "What a rare visitor! No living person has come here for a long time?"

I felt even more at ease as the old man was also very kind. "Why doesn't anyone come here?"

"Hey!" The old man sighed and said, "You have also seen that I am a dead soul, so you should have guessed where this place is."

"Is this supposed to be the resting place for dead souls?" I asked tentatively.

"It's not right, but it's almost the same!" The old man turned around and pulled me out of the alley. The road outside had become full of people...oh...no, they should all be ghosts. It looks like a lively city now. "This is indeed a gathering place for the dead, but it is not a resting place. You should have seen the name of the city on the city gate!"

"It's called the Lost City!"

"Yes! This is the gathering place for those of us who have died but do not want to rest in peace for various reasons. We are some 'lost' souls!" The old man looked very sad when talking about it.

I quickly comforted me: "Don't be sad, it's not bad here!"

The old man's expression suddenly changed. "Forget it, let's not talk about these sad things! Come with me." The old man took the lead in flying in one direction, and I had no choice but to follow. Even though he is old enough to be my grandpa, he flies very fast. He almost lost his temper as he ran all the way. The place where the old man stopped turned out to be a huge square. The old man ran up to a platform and waved me up. When I climbed up, the old man started shouting loudly below: "Everyone, come here! There is a living friend here!"

Wow, this old man is too excited! What's worse is that after a while a lot of monsters and monsters gathered around me. After a few identification skills, my dear, there are level 130 undead souls, level 0 demon souls, level 3 demon spirits, level 210 undead knights, level 150 undead warriors, and level 350 death mages. A monster paradise! What's even more terrifying is that there are many dark creatures surrounding him. What I saw was the three-headed dog of hell and a lot of evil spirits!

The old man shouted to the people below: "Everyone has seen that next to me is a living friend. We haven't received living beings for a long time, let's celebrate!"

"Okay! Welcome! Welcome!" Dizzy! These monsters and ghosts are really enthusiastic! Why is it different from what I thought before! Watching the monsters below having a carnival, I didn’t know what to do!

Just as I was stunned, a tall black armored warrior walked up to me. "Hello, my name is Clark. I am the owner of the weapons store here. If you need any equipment in the future, please give priority to my business!"

"Aren't the shops here closed? I walked around the city for a long time in the morning and there was no open shop."

The Black Warrior laughed loudly, and his laughter seemed very rough. "Of course there will be no one if you come during the day! This is the Lost City. There is no one except guards between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.!"

"Why didn't I think that you can't see the sun?"

"It's not that we can't see the sun, it's just that we don't want to see it. Look at the tall tower over there." A tall, thin man in black robes walked up behind me. This guy is really tall! Although my height of 170cm is relatively average, it’s not like my shoulders are so different!

I followed his hand and looked over. There was indeed a tall tower there. It was a square tower that looked a bit like an obelisk. Although the appearance of the tower was not black, it looked very gray. Judging from visual inspection, its height should be at least over 300 meters, and the buildings next to it are not more than 100 meters high at most, so it looks so prominent. There is a huge diamond-shaped frame at the top of the tower, and inside the frame is an orange-red pupil, giving people a sense of suffocation and oppression. But now the pupil is contracted to a vertical line and closed. I really don't know what the consequences will be if it is opened.

"That is the dark tower of the Lost City. The one on the top of the tower is the Eye of Hell. It will be awakened when the city is attacked or is about to attack surrounding cities. As long as the Eye of Hell opens, the city will The dark creatures will no longer abide by the law of hiding day and night. Moreover, once the Eye of Hell is opened, all dark creatures will receive a 50% attack power bonus and a defense power bonus."

"No! So fierce! That's not invincible!"

The robed man smiled sinisterly. "Although I'm not invincible, I will definitely be very powerful. I haven't introduced myself yet. I am the owner of the medicine shop in the city. You can call me the medicine king!"

"Do the undead also use medicine?" This system is really strange. All races must use medicine!

"Why not! Let me tell you, my 'medicine' is a special 'medicine' that is not available in the whole continent. It is not only miraculous in its efficacy but also of high quality and low price! If you come, I will give you a 20% discount!"

After a while, a lot of NPCs gathered around me. They were almost all the owners of some store, and they all offered me a 20% discount and asked me to go to their store. I had no choice but to go from house to house. According to the order, I was first taken to his weapon shop by Clark. After turning a few streets, I quickly arrived at Clark's store. I had been here in the morning, but it was still closed at that time.

"How about it? My store is pretty good!" Clark said proudly in the store.

I looked around. It's a large weapons store with wooden walls and floors. There are many NPCs buying and selling things at the counter, and it really feels like a big store. "Not bad! Very beautiful!"

Clark was even more proud of what I said. "How's it going! Do you want to buy anything?"

"I definitely have to buy it! My weapon was broken yesterday, and now I can't equip anything on me, so I have to buy a weapon that is convenient for me!"

Clark saw the troubled expression on my face and immediately said: "It doesn't matter. If you don't have enough money, you can owe it first."

"How embarrassing! Then this!" I poured out all the things in the inventory. "You keep these things, I still have three gold coins. If you don't have enough, you owe me first, and I will pay you back!"

Clark looked at the equipment I took out and said: "These things are worth about 13 gold coins, plus the 3 on you, there are 16 in total. So, come with me!"
