Dark Eldar

"Ah! What's up!" Loki was jolted awake from his deep sleep! He was covered in a cold sweat. First, he checked his level.

"Level 808, OK, thank goodness!" he quickly reassured himself. It was just a nightmare. A dream more real than reality itself. (In advanced virtual worlds, "dreams" are possible. But one must never "cross the line"! That is, one cannot fantasize about things unrelated to this other world, such as the "real world." Communication between the main map and secondary maps is possible, but bidirectional communication is no longer possible, and most people cannot achieve the level of free teleportation. Note: Server transfer fees are extremely expensive!)

Loki, who was staying in the VIP room of the New Baolong Hotel in the Bitter Plains (818211), checked out overnight and planned to leave Unita's territory immediately.

Although he possesses powerful artifacts, Loki may or may not be moved when it comes to matters of the heart. Sometimes compassion is a good thing, but not always.

Loki had encountered similar events before, but none felt as real as tonight's.

"Won't you stay a few more days, Loki?" The sexy sorceress Unita had many informants. As Loki walked toward the bar, the waitress manager (race: goblin NPC) had already tipped off Unita.

Even among goblins, there are handsome young men, but unfortunately, they prefer the "free-to-play" model. You see, only after recharging (including the first recharge) can they formally ask one of their dream girls out on a date; otherwise, no one looks down on them. (Analysis: Historically, there have also been "NPCs" who made astonishing contributions. They used their short and limited lives to make numerous great contributions, earning the utmost respect from the elders of other worlds.)

"Not everyone can experience the life of an NPC." — The Rules of Otherworldly NPCs

In this other world, NPC commenters are a rare sight. Most are "trial accounts" (playing the game), some even taking turns (non-wipe gameplay). They are usually very clear about their role and would never argue with regular heroes. Bartender NPCs or dwarf boss NPCs who run businesses focus solely on their trade or work diligently (occasionally spending money). After some marry and have children, their offspring have a much higher probability of becoming potential heroes than their parents. Even those NPCs who, like their parents, are mediocre, haven't learned any offensive skills, and haven't been involved in any "bloodshed," are quite numerous, except for butcher NPCs...

"It's you!" Loki felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to try to say goodbye, but he couldn't bear to say it.

The goblin bartender NPC and the beautiful human NPC lady dared not speak loudly. The goblin in his suit (professional attire) was a "graduate student" (characteristic), a skilled player researching things like "pacemakers" (items), but being an "NPC," he was merely "all show and no substance." Sometimes, with slight alterations and affected mannerisms, they could fool some less astute, inexperienced heroes, but most NPCs were kind and relatively composed, strictly adhering to their lines in speech, even in thought. They simply wanted to stay a day longer, to see a few more glimpses of this beautiful "otherworldly magical world."

Seeing this, Loki was too embarrassed to continue.

The beautiful sorceress Unita had long wanted to confess her feelings, but fearing a ruthless rejection from the powerful "great hero" before her, she spoke rather tactfully, determined to do everything in her power to keep her classmate "Loki" with her.

Loki stood on the high-end buffalo leather sofa in the lobby. He considered it carefully and decided to conduct an experiment to test his old classmate (Mission Name: Unita's Trial! Purple Advanced).

"Unitta, I'm going to dismantle my artifact. What do you think?" Loki officially began to implement his plan.

"......???" Unita was very confused after hearing this. She stared at Loki with her big, watery eyes and long eyelashes.

"Unitta, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to dismantle it," Loki said, then activated the "Dismantle" skill. (Shortcut: Shift+Sv. The artifact in this skill is actually a replica forged by Loki using the "Mold of the Creator." He just wanted to test Unitta's feelings. If Unitta still liked him, then Loki could only accept it gladly, or perhaps Loki had other options...)

"Oh!! No!! I hate you!!!" Unita cried as she rushed out of the lobby of the New Baolong Hotel. Her heart was broken!! And with it, her vanity shattered...

Loki sighed and picked up the precious multicolored crystals from the ground one by one, stuffing them into his magic backpack. Crafting items of the same level, style, and function using artifacts was extremely resource-intensive, requiring a great deal of "rare treasures." It wasn't something Loki could easily forge in a short time. Back then, just preparing the materials took him nearly two months. He used those "imitations" to comfort his "fellow disciples" in the other world. Now, Loki was putting them to other uses.

The next morning, at the Xinbaolong Hotel, the atmosphere was "birdsong and fragrant flowers" (dynamic). Everything returned to its usual tranquility, and the NPC goblin boy continued to warmly welcome heroes from all directions who came to search for treasure, fight monsters, or explore mysteries. Some were there for wealth, while others were simply there to take a look.

Loki left. In his contacts, Unita had already deleted him. Loki could only see her name in gray. Now, Unita's ruthlessness contrasted sharply with her previous enthusiasm. Perhaps this was the world's "feast," or perhaps the world was meant to be this way...
