Chapter 76: He never expected Auston to actually be so considerate (part 1 of 4)

Everyone still had lingering fears by the time they exited the instance.

After all, they’d never imagined that they would see that kind of scene.

They, unexpectedly saw a fiendish player and an existence, which was practically equivalent to a boss in an instance, be at odds for the affection of another player.

Although their words were very subtle, meaning that a few words in their sentences, contained bits of hints…… In a few words, everyone could smell the scent of gunpowder.

All except for Gu Wuji.

That’s right, Gu Wuji, the person involved, unexpectedly didn’t notice this matter at all!

In the end, the mountain god also didn’t insist upon seeing that Gu Wuji was straight and had no intention to stay with him. He only gave him a thoughtful look, saying that they will certainly meet again.

The players had no idea what the words of the mountain god really meant. Moreover, they also didn’t want to know too much. After all, it’s already the time to go. Who knows if they’ll still be able to safely leave after knowing too much!

The subsequent developments were very plain sailing. After the mist surrounding this village had dispersed, a path leading out showed up. For fear of any untoward incidents, the other players left in haste. Of course, they also expressed their gratitude towards Gu Wuji before leaving…… After all, if they could form a good relationship with such a powerful big shot, then maybe they would still be able to continue holding on the other’s thigh* in the future.

*rely on/ count on

Gu Wuji, on the other hand, didn’t rush to leave like the others. He amicably helped in purifying a great number of ghosts in the village, and made a lot of good deeds, only then did he think of leaving.

When it was finally time to leave, Qi Yunxiu, who had always been by his side, took a deep breath, before saying: “After we leave, can we still stay in touch?”

“Of course we can.” Gu Wuji had even added with a smile: “If you want, you can also call on me to enter an instance together.”

Qi Yunxiu was utterly ecstatic. Gu Wuji really treated him differently from the others! There’s no way the other players would’ve gotten this promise of entering an instance together, ah. He momentarily threw the matter regarding this instance’s mountain god to the back of his mind.

Because of being so well-received, a lot of villagers came to see Gu Wuji off when he was leaving, in addition to gifting him with a lot of local specialties. The two individuals left the instance from the path between the mountain forest under such lively circumstances.

But since Gu Wuji had failed to complete the secondary task, so the system’s notification sounded soon after he stepped into the darkness.

[Initializing the penalty for mission failure. The player will be randomly sent to come in contact with a certain ghost from a previous instance for a minute. This ghost may be a sinister evil spirit, or may also be a low-leveled mindless ghost, everything depends on the player’s luck.]

Gu Wuji: “……” This really deserves to be called a game. Even this kind of thing depend on face value. He really can’t imagine how unlucky people could survive in the worlds of the instances.

After the end of the system’s notification, Gu Wuji opened his eyes, and found himself sitting on what seems to be a rowboat.

It appears to be at the very late night here. The vast expanse of white mist in the surroundings caused the surroundings scenes to appear hazy.

This seems to be above a certain lake. Maybe because it was late at night, the temperature was so low, that it even made Gu Wuji shiver a little bit as well.

“Where is this place?” Gu Wuji very clearly remembered that he had never been into an instance similar to this place. Not only did this place give him an extremely dangerous feeling, but it also made him feel a constant stabbing sensation in his brain.

The system said it would send him to meet a certain ghost. Which means that it would still be the same even if the whereabouts of the ghost had changed…… So, he should’ve been sent to where the other is, right?

So, which ghost would that be?

Gu Wuji felt that the pocket watch in his possession suddenly heat up at this moment. After taking it out, a faint golden light was seen emitting above it, as if it was resonating with something.

In the next moment, a hand was gently placed on Gu Wuji’s shoulder.

Gu Wuji turned to look. Coming into sight was a handsome blond-haired young man. The other person was leisurely rowing the boat with the oar in his other hand. Auston noticed Gu Wuji’s gaze, and gave him a smile, “I didn’t expect for us to meet again.”

That’s right. This individual before him was Auston, Gu Wuji’s former employer in the evil god instance. He was also the one who saved Gu Wuji’s life at the end, so that Gu Wuji wouldn’t be forced to stay in the instance by the evil god. Even after leaving the instance, how much power can be used by the pocket watch Gu Wuji obtained was closely related with Auston’s favorability.

It can be said that the ghost before him had too many connections with Gu Wuji.

“Auston.” Gu Wuji was somewhat surprised, then swiftly sat up properly again, “Yeah, this is really a coincidence…… This, where is this place?”

 

Auston’s expression became a bit complicated. He placed a finger against his lips to make a shush gesture, and said: “It’s best for you not to know. This place is…… an extremely dangerous place.”
