The Survival Rules of NPCs

Chapter 87 Furious...

Stop her...

Elsie heard the whisper in her ear again and reached out to stop the woman who was approaching again without hesitation. The woman's face turned pale. She didn't expect that she could be stopped by an undocumented woman.

"My lord, please let me in. I have been starving for many days. My unborn child cannot starve to death outside with me. He is the only hope my husband left me."

Upon hearing this, many of the warriors at the door felt pity for her, but Elsie remained unmoved.

How could a pregnant woman who has been starving for many days look like this? In fact, even without Mr. Bright's reminder, I could tell that there was something wrong with this woman.

Of course, the other party was indeed a pregnant woman, but if she tried to force her way in using that identity, his sword would not hesitate at all.

From the moment Mr. Bright saved her child, she was his woman. Moreover, Mr. Bright had the ability to help Lady Eliza obtain a title—an ability worthy of her loyalty. For her own child, she wouldn't mind letting other people's children die, especially since this woman before her was far from innocent...

The female player gritted her teeth, lifted her skirt, and was about to storm in when a cold glint flashed, and half of the woman's hair was instantly chopped off. Then, a sharp blade appeared in front of her, instantly turning the female player's face deathly pale.

"Go! Don't be afraid!" Park Young-joon typed in the channel, his face contorted. "She won't dare to actually make a move, otherwise there will definitely be a riot at the entrance!"

The female player shook her head, typing in terror: "She'll kill me... I can die, but if I die, my baby might not revive..."

"No, listen to me, let's go!" Park Young-joon almost shouted.

At the city gate, Bright's spirit saw the female player's hesitant expression, and then saw Park Young-joon's threatening gaze in the distance. He frowned. "Indeed, one cannot stand firm without being ruthless. That must be the president of Han Du City, right? Tsk tsk, he's a ruthless person."

"Enough!" the镖人 (bodyguard/courier) said directly in the channel: "I think Han Dui has already lost, what do you guys think?"

Park Young-joon gritted his teeth, about to type a rebuttal, when all the representatives in the channel typed: "Agreed".

"agree!"

Countless "agreements" made Park Young-joon's hand, which was about to type, freeze again. He knew... the ending was irreversible.

"As expected of our number one player in the North District." Hungry Wolf clapped his hands with a smile. "Great methods, impressive! I've never submitted to anyone before, but this time I'm completely convinced. I accept the rules she set. If any player wants me to be their representative, then they'll have to accept these rules too!"

"I accept it too!" Sword Wind Legend typed in response. "If you can win a game like this, and you still don't accept it, then you're a sore loser!"

The other guild leaders hesitated for a moment, then typed their agreement. It wasn't that they were truly convinced, but rather that they dared not disagree. They had no idea how the other side had managed it and had no way to break it. If they angered the other side, none of their own members would be able to get in, while other players would be able to, which would be even more damaging to them.

Rather than doing that, it's better to admit defeat openly and honestly!

"Boss, they've admitted it!" Sweet Rice Dumpling whispered to Bright.

Bright snapped back to reality, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

After the Corpse Whisperer reaches a higher level, many of their functional supernatural abilities become more apparent. For example, their ability to astral projection allows their spirit to not only run faster but also transmit messages to others in spirit form. Moreover, they can return to their body very quickly, almost instantly within a range of several kilometers!

Looking at it this way, investing a lot of experience points in this profession wasn't a bad deal. Although this profession isn't as obviously powerful as the Fighter, its support functions are indeed quite good.

If it weren't for this ability, the plan wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

"Very good, the rest is up to you..."

'

Sweet Rice Dumpling nodded, and with a mix of trepidation and excitement, went outside and typed directly in the channel: "In that case, let's do everything according to the rules I mentioned before!"

She always felt that her title as the number one player in the North District would be exposed sooner or later, so she never dared to show herself in public. One reason was that she was afraid of being called out to spar with people like Hungry Wolf, and the second reason was that she didn't want this filter to really disappear.

To be honest, the title of "Number One Player" sounds pretty cool, otherwise she wouldn't have revealed official information in the channel so many times before.

Perhaps... by following Mr. Bright, I can continue to muddle through this name forever?

Sweet Rice Dumpling checked its experience points.

Just as she successfully completed the bet, the system notified her again that she had changed the course of history and her destiny, and this time she gained even more experience than before!

If she focused all her energy on the thief class, she felt she could break through the level 40 barrier and undergo her second job change!

"You guys... are you really going to go this far?" Park Young-joon could no longer keep his composure in front of everyone.

"A bet's a bet..." Hungry Wolf coldly stared at his opponent. "President Park, don't you have any sense of responsibility? According to the rules, we are all witnesses. We all lost because of you and had to abide by the rules of the sweet rice dumpling. Haven't we paid a heavy price?"

"She can't keep the people at the city gates recognizing my guild members forever. I'll sneak some people in quietly; nothing will happen..."

'

"We're not going to take that risk with you," the guild leader of the Hunting Grounds said coldly. "Since you've lost the bet, take your people and get out of here. If we see any Han Du people inside, don't blame us for being ruthless. Ordinary NPCs don't know how to guard corpses, but we know very well that."

"You guys..." Park Young-joon gritted his teeth, "Don't go too far!"

"Excessive?" Black Rose sneered. "President Park, don't think we don't know what you did in Milandale. When you pressured the Chinese players there, weren't you going too far?"

"Very well!" Park Young-joon nodded resentfully. "You'll regret this!"

The representatives' eyes were icy cold. They dared to threaten them? It seems the rumors are true; those South Koreans are acting very arrogantly in Mirandil!

Right now, my main focus is on the mission in Holy Stone City. Once this is over, I'll let that Korean outsider know that a grandson... should act like a grandson!

After the other party and their men had gone far away, the guild leaders hurriedly made arrangements for their men.

The remaining three—Ghost Wolf, Berserker Legend, and Black Rose—represented wild players and hesitated for a moment.

Black Rose spoke first: "How so?"

"Just follow the rules, what else can I say?" Berserker Legend said, chewing on a blade of grass.

"It's not that simple..." Black Rose shook her head: "According to Sweet Rice Dumpling, she will assess the quality of several representatives from different factions. If those sent in don't perform well, the number of slots will decrease next time, while the number of slots for other factions that perform well will increase. You should know what that means, right?"

The two fell silent. They were both lone wolves and rarely did teamwork, but this time they had no choice. According to the rules of Sweet Rice Dumplings, if the people who went in didn't perform well, after a few rounds, the spots for the faction they represented would probably disappear, and even they themselves wouldn't be able to get in.

This is a troublesome matter!

"Sweet Rice Dumpling is forcing us to work as a team," Black Rose said quietly. "Although I don't know why she's doing this, I suggest you carefully select your teammates and help them as much as possible. Change your previous lone-wolf style, otherwise... I'm afraid it won't be long before Holy Stone City becomes the exclusive territory of those few guilds."

"This is troublesome..." Berserker scratched his head. "I'm not very good at teamwork."

Hungry Wolf frowned. He never expected to be forced into a team one day. But if he ignored the other players, he would be derelict in his duty as the trusted representative. It would also affect his future. What if there really was an opportunity in Holy Stone City, but he lost his chance to enter the city because the force he represented was not qualified? That would be a nightmare.

"Let's all choose carefully." Black Rose sighed. "It's unlikely that a temporary team can compete with members from the guild. If possible, the three of us should stick together."

Intelligence 1: The members of Han Du City have been forced to leave, but they have been targeted by the Shadow and may very well become part of the Shadow Force.

Intelligence 2: The first batch of elven robes will appear in two days. Please organize people to collect them as soon as possible.

Intelligence 3: The Hunting Grounds, the Escorts, and the North Sea Society have all assembled their most elite teams to prepare to enter Holy Stone City as soon as possible. All of them are at least level 15 or higher, possessing extraordinary combat skills. Please be careful.

Intelligence 4: The shadow will seek out all the important figures in Holy Stone City within two days, including the Minister of Finance, the returning Chief Judge, Lady Elizabeth, and...you!

Intelligence 5: Handle your relationship with the Shadow forces with caution. Do not take sides easily. Your current strength is insignificant in the face of the Shadows!

[System notification: Sweet Rice Dumpling has completed the historical turning point mission, rewarding you with...130,000 experience points. According to the contract, you will receive...]

Bright was taken aback. This girl, Zongzi, has taken off! With so many experience points, if she were to use them all on the thief class, she might be able to become a level 40, third-stage thief.

But now that I've gained so much experience, how should I use it?

Should we continue investing in the Corpse Whisperer, or upgrade the other two professions?

Another point is that the intelligence report indicates the shadow is about to visit.

What does the so-called shadow refer to?

A person imbued with the power of shadow? Or... shadow itself?

You can't easily take sides, but how do you refuse? If your strength is insignificant compared to the other side, then not taking sides might be a bit difficult.

Moreover, not only herself, but also Eliza and the judge will be visited. How should she control the situation?

This game... is getting harder and harder to play.
