Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 49: The Power Struggle – A Hot Topic Among Players

"Bang bang bang..."

"Boom boom boom..."

The battle at the Golden Money Building intensified, and the number of people affected skyrocketed.

The Hangzhou city government was aware of this sudden turn of events in advance, and the constables from the surrounding area quickly rushed to the location of the Golden Coin Tower to evacuate the ordinary people in the vicinity.

Some players who chose to spend the night in the game were also awakened by the loud explosions. They all thought it was an earthquake and ran out of the inn and courtyard.

He stared wide-eyed at the two sides locked in fierce combat.

"What the heck are these NPCs doing?"

"Don't you have any sense of public decency? You have to go to work tomorrow."

"The Grand Canal Gang got wiped out? Serves them right. I hope they get killed soon."

"No, it seems to be internal strife."

“A friend of mine is a member of the Cao Gang. He said that the gang leader and deputy leader got into a fight, and many constables from the Six Doors also got involved.”

"A power grab? That's big news! Why hasn't anything happened before?"

"Are you an idiot? I've already seized power, why would I need to create any disturbances beforehand? Do you think I'm stupid? Don't you understand the principle of secrecy in achieving success?"

"That's not right. According to the game's logic, there should be hidden quests to trigger in the early stages. There's no reason why such a major event shouldn't have hidden quests."

"It definitely exists, it's just that we haven't found the opportunity to trigger it."

"and."

"Even if there are hidden quests available, they're not something we lowly Karami can participate in. We're only a few levels away. The highest-ranking player on the current player level leaderboard is only level 30, and that was achieved through grinding."

"The leader of that canal gang is level 89. The highest level in the current version is only level 99. Even if he is level 89, it is not necessarily something that we little Karami can handle. Not to mention that he has also cultivated a Heaven-level martial art."

"If he throws one punch, we're done for."

"Brother, can't you have some dreams?"

"If you don't have dreams, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?"

Many players started live streaming, broadcasting this major event in the game.

This level of NPC combat is no small matter.

Regardless of which side wins, the final impact on the game will be enormous.

[The server has only been open for less than half a year, and they're already playing this big game.]

The Battle of the Golden Money Building is historically known as the Canal Gang Incident.

[666, that's a player's skill.]

As a player of the Caobang faction, let me summarize the two sides. The faction leader, Lu Tianxing, is a peak second-rank martial artist. Due to the level difference, we can't determine his exact level, but we can guess it's level 89. He cultivates a secret, top-tier martial art, the Vajra Prajna Divine Art. This manifests as his small Gundam-like figure. Those who cultivate this art can condense their own unique Dharma form based on their individual circumstances. Different Dharma forms have different attributes. Lu Tianxing's Dharma form is called the Wrathful Vajra, leaning towards a berserker type.

[Vice Leader Fei Yan, a mid-level second-rank member, roughly between level 84 and 86. We don't know his martial arts skills; he's very mysterious. He's usually in charge of the gang's finances and is skilled with hidden weapons. To be honest, I don't like him. His demeanor is sinister and makes people uncomfortable; he lacks Lu Tianxing's boldness.]

Personally, I hope Lu Tianxing wins.

[The Grand Canal Gang, I'll fuck your mother! I hope the entire Grand Canal Gang is wiped out, completely wiped out!]

Wow, bro, you've got a really bad temper. What did the Canal Gang do to you?

[Isn't it normal for the Canal Gang to offend people? It would be a miracle if they didn't. They bully people all the time, not just NPCs, but most of the players in Hangzhou have also been bullied by them. And that bastard Lu Tianxing is even more disgusting, a million times more disgusting than the Canal Gang.]

[Haha, the guy you're talking about, the young leader of the Canal Gang, right? That guy's dead. He was torn apart by that NPC in Wangyou County.]

I was there, I have video footage, it was very bloody.

[For this, Chief Constable Lu deserves a thumbs up.]

[Positive review.]

[This will definitely earn him rave reviews.]

[Players of the card game "Three Kingdoms Kill," get out!]

……

Niaoniao Village outside Hangzhou.

"Let it be chaotic, let the canal gang continue to be chaotic."

"If you don't cause trouble, how will I have a chance?"

Xueyi gritted her teeth, braced herself with both hands on the large rock, and kept lifting it up and down.

Sweat streamed down the ground.

Players have three ways to level up.

The first method is to level up by defeating monsters. Killing any NPC or wild beast will grant you a certain amount of experience points.

The second method is to complete tasks, find hidden side quests, and you can gain a lot of experience by completing them.

The last type, like NPCs, allows players to level up through cultivation. This method is very slow, but its advantage is that cultivation can be done anytime, anywhere.

His current level is too low.

It still lacks martial arts techniques for killing.

It would be unwise to oppose the canal gangs.

He still needs to develop.

Once he reaches level 30, he will find a Xuan-level martial art.

Then he can take action.

By killing ordinary members of the Canal Gang, one can gradually increase their level and sustain their fighting capacity through battle.

The number of members in the Grand Canal Gang was sufficient to meet his needs.

He cultivated diligently, not for any other reason than to one day take revenge.

"Xiaohe, wait for me."

……

“It’s quite lively.”

Lu Yuan stopped and looked at the battle ahead.

"This whole thing started because of you, and you're just going to watch?"

Old Man Zuo Ming landed beside Lu Yuan. As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan reached out his hand.

Lu Yuan's hand passed straight through the old man Zuo Ming's body, which was like white smoke, without causing him any harm.

Lu Yuan was stunned.

Staring blankly at his own hands.

Old Man Zuo Ming was also stunned.

She stared at Lu Yuan in disbelief.

"Are you really going to do it?"

"You still dare to launch a sneak attack?"

"Are you even human?"

"Lu Xingzhi was an upright and honorable man throughout his life, how could he have such a despicable and shameless son like you?"

“Although you are not Lu Xingzhi’s child, you were raised by him, so why is there such a big difference in your temperament?”

In the memory of the old man Zuo Ming, Lu Xingzhi had always been a virtuous and upright gentleman.

How could I have a son like you?

Is this a mistake in Lu Xingzhi's education, or is this simply your nature?

"Old man, are you getting old and your eyesight is failing?"

“I’ve lived with him for twenty years, how could I not know what kind of person he is?”

"I learned this trick from him."

"Shut up."

Lu Yuan's disdainful gaze seemed to say, "You don't understand Lu Xingzhi as well as he does."

Wow, this is an absolute disgrace!

This is questioning Zuo Ming's judgment of people.

"Hey, old man, is that related to me?"

"Correct."

"What does the internal strife within the canal gang have to do with me?"

"Have you forgotten who you killed during the day?"

"Young Master, he's Lu Tianxing's son. So what? If I kill his son, will it cause internal strife within the Canal Gang?"

It's not that serious to kill a spoiled brat.

"Lu Tianxing wanted revenge, but Fei Yan wouldn't let him, and the Six Doors wouldn't let him either, so a fight broke out."

"What does this have to do with the Six Doors?"

"The Six Doors don't like Lu Tianxing because he doesn't fit their interests."

"What about the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Didn't they even consider getting involved?"
