Chapter 31 Player Nurdin

Chapter 31

"It should be safe now."

Rosen carried a chair to the window and sat down to soak up the sun.

He had spent the previous nine days in the dense forest, needing to turn on lights for illumination, and had not seen the sun for nine days.

When the Shadow Cat didn't appear by nightfall, Rosen realized he was safe.

If he's careful, he can even continue hunting more extraordinary creatures.

However, considering the risks and rewards, Rosen ultimately decided to wait patiently for an opportunity to leave.

The Black Shark first needs to return to Blackrock Harbor, and then transport another batch of passengers before it can open the Death Forest Spirit Realm. There's no way it can be done in less than a month. During this time, he cannot leave the Mysterious Study and Marthadora.

After spending the day creating spiritual paintings, Rosen noticed it was getting late and decided to head back to Rose Castle to relax.

Two hours later, Lawson was enjoying snacks and soaking in a skin-beautifying hot spring, with Stephanie giving him a shoulder massage from behind.

"It seems like there are players in the city today."

Stephanie hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"like?"

Rosen frowned.

“I’m not entirely sure…” Stephanie explained, “Some human NPCs in the city who were bribed with cards said today that the restaurants were discarding less food than usual, and they suspect that some players have gone into the restaurants to eat.”

"That is indeed a possibility."

Rosen nodded and said.

Throughout Marshadora, besides Nen Beast NPCs, there are only human NPCs. Nen Beast NPCs don't need to eat or drink, but human NPCs do. The Greed Island game GM set up not many cards for human NPCs, at most just enough to maintain basic survival.

After all, once the Saw Necropolis was integrated into Martha's Land, these human NPCs were criminals.

Since they are criminals, it's already a blessing that they haven't died. How could we possibly support these people for nothing?

Almost every human NPC has their own storyline quests and needs to play their own NPC role. Otherwise, they won't even be given cards that are necessary for basic survival. Many human NPCs don't have enough money and can only try every possible way to earn and save money.

There aren't many ways to make money, but becoming his informant in Martha's Lagoon is one of them.

As for saving money, eating the food discarded daily by the restaurants run by the Nen Beast NPCs is a good option. The Nen Beast NPCs don't care about waste; they send fresh ingredients from farms outside the city every day, so if you don't throw them away, they'll just rot in the refrigerator.

Because they eat free food every day, many human NPCs are very clear about how much food the beast NPC restaurants discard.

If the number of players suddenly decreases, it's highly likely that some players have gone in to eat.

As for why no one saw it, all human NPCs are ordinary people. It's not difficult for a player with Nen abilities to avoid the sight of ordinary people. It seems he will have to go to Marshadora tomorrow.

Rosen cannot leave Marthadora, but players from Greed Island can come to Marthadora.

He can use rare spell cards to steal specific cards from a player's card collection book, or he can use trades to commission players to help him acquire various specific cards scattered across Greed Island.

This way, he would have many more materials to transform into extraordinary items, and he was very envious of the effects of many specific cards.

The next morning, Rosen unusually skipped his morning workout.

Instead, he was wandering around Marshadora before dawn, with the God-Slaying Crossbow hovering beside him. The God-Hunting Demon Eye on the crossbow mechanism was constantly spinning at high speed, observing everything he saw along the way, trying to find the Nen user hiding in Marshadora.

As he walked, Rosen looked up at a magical clock tower not far away.

It's definitely easier to find it from a higher vantage point.

Rosen quickly ascended to the top of the magic clock tower and unleashed the God-Slaying Crossbow, scanning the surroundings.

As for himself, he would take out his easel and never forget to improve his spiritual growth by enhancing his status as a painter.

From morning until noon, the Hunter's Eye finally made a discovery.

Rosen shared his vision and used his Hunter's Eye to look at the restaurants in Marthadora that he was focusing on. Sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a hat walk into the restaurant, and he was surrounded by a layer of light gray Nen aura. "The target has appeared."

Rosen instantly vanished into the shadows, sliding down the back of the magic clock tower as if ice skating.

In less than a minute, Lawson had already emerged outside the restaurant after passing through several alleyways.

As soon as Rosen entered the restaurant, he spotted the player sitting in the corner. He moved silently in the shadows and sat down opposite the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man, who was devouring his grilled meat, saw Rosen suddenly appear opposite him, his pupils contracted, and he vanished in an instant.

However, the middle-aged man reappeared the next moment and sat opposite Rosen.

Because right next to his head, there was a floating God-Slaying Spear or Crossbow pointed at his head.

Moreover, no matter how he tried to hide while in stealth mode, the gun was always aimed at him.

"What's your name?"

Rosen picked up the menu and waved to the cat-headed, human-bodied Nen Beast NPC.

"Nurdin".

The middle-aged man replied with a bitter expression.

"Is someone chasing you?"

Rosen said with certainty.

He has confirmed that Nurdin's Nen ability is invisibility.

This kind of Nen ability means that while combat power may not be very strong, survivability is definitely not weak.

However, even in an unfamiliar game map like Marshadora, Nurdin was still so cautious, hiding even when eating, which strongly suggested that he was being hunted down. That's why he didn't dare to show his face on Greed Island.

"I saw something I shouldn't have seen, and I was chased to Greed Island."

Nurdin's heart skipped a beat, and he answered honestly.

Realizing that the young man in front of him was not the assassin chasing him, he instantly realized that this might be his chance. If he could use the power of this person to help him get rid of his pursuers, he would no longer have to live in constant fear.

"I'll help you solve your problem, and you'll work for me from now on."

Rosen laid his cards on the table and revealed his true intentions.

"very fair!"

Nurdin agreed without hesitation.

Tell me more about you!

Rosen nodded in satisfaction.

It took Nurdin a whole lunch to explain the trouble he had gotten himself into.

Relying on his ability to hide, Nurdin became a well-known thief.

However, after walking the dark path too many times, he eventually encountered a ghost. During one of his thefts, he saw the owner of the house feeding his hunting dogs with a large number of live people. Moreover, the man-eating hunting dogs discovered his whereabouts and chased him all the way, almost biting him to death.

He eventually escaped to the vicinity of the Hunter's Guild branch headquarters, whereupon the hunting dogs gave up their pursuit.

Enraged, Nurdin wrote a letter to the local Hunter's Guild branch to report the matter.

Then Nurdin was unlucky and was repeatedly hunted down. If it weren't for his cunning and his Nen ability to become invisible and save his life, he would have died in the pursuit long ago.

The most troublesome thing is that as the pursuit continues, the pursuers are finding him more and more efficiently.

Finally, having no other choice, Nurdin learned about Greed Island, a game specifically developed for Nen users, which could directly teleport the Nen user's body into the game. So he found a game console and went to Greed Island.

However, the pursuers soon followed them in, which is why Nurdin was so careful that he even ate his meals in secret.
