Chapter 76: He never expected Auston to actually be so considerate (part 2 of 4)

Gu Wuji noticed Auston looking at the surrounding water surface with a somewhat apprehensive expression, as if afraid of disturbing some kind of monster slumbering deep in the water.

At the same time, Gu Wuji also felt a strong compelling force from deep in him, which really made him want to look and see if there truly was anything in the water.

This unusual compelling force wasn’t his own at all, but an influence brought about by this place towards him.

Gu Wuji was fully aware that if you refrain from doing stupid things, then nothing would come back to bite you. So he resisted this compelling force, and just sat there motionlessly.

He might have still gone to explore if this was any of the usual instances. But at the present moment, he’ll only be staying in this place for just a minute, like visiting a relative. So, it’s better to refrain from doing unnecessary things.

More importantly, Gu Wuji knows very well that Auston and the evil god exist in the same instance, so the terribleness of this place is already self-evident. Even if this isn’t some high level instance, but it must still be an extremely difficult intermediate level kind of instance.

“A part of my soul is suppressing the mark on your body, which prevents him from being able to detect your existence.” Auston said: “Although I can’t suppress it for too long, but it’s still possible to do so until you leave.”

Although he didn’t say who that person is, but both of them understood.

“Thank you very much.” Gu Wuji expressed, then added: “Thank you, for the previous things as well.”

“The one who should be thankful is me.” Auston said, “If it weren’t because of you, perhaps all of us on that ship would continue on living a life no worse than death. After all, repeatedly reincarnating in that ship, is really agonizing.”

“Then, how are you doing now?” After all, Gu Wuji could see how unpleasant the surroundings were. It must definitely be very difficult to live in the hands of a villain boss like the evil god, “In consideration to our friendship, I can help to purify you now.”

Auston’s slightly melancholic and downcast expression, instantly became rigid.

As he responded without delay, “No need, I still have unsettled matters.”

“Then just tell me if you ever change your mind.” Gu Wuji still felt that he was very caring.

Auston couldn’t help but feel petrified, as he quickly said: “Although I didn’t wish for you to come. But the mark on your body, will someday bring you here sooner or later…… But until that moment, if I can attain my wish, then I’ll be willing to depart from this world as well.”

“Your wish?”

“That’s something you can’t know right now.” Auston softly replied: “However, you must take proper care of my pocket watch. It will certainly…… come in handy in the future.”

Gu Wuji was about to say that this pocket watch seemed to have been slightly damaged before. However, he soon after saw that the pocket watch had been completely restored under the faint shining light a while ago, and even exudes a higher quality than before.

He never expected Auston to actually be so considerate. Not only did he restore the pocket watch, but he had even upgraded it.

“Alright, it’s almost time as well.” Auston looked at Gu Wuji with a complicated expression, “Goodbye.”

After he said this, Gu Wuji’s body gradually became transparent, then soon after turned into little light spots that eventually dissipated into the air.

After Gu Wuji left, the place returned to it’s previous deathly stillness. There wasn’t even the sound of wind. Aside from the slowly moving small boat, everything here, including time, seemed to have completely frozen.

Auston didn’t look at the water’s surface. After all, even if he was no longer an ordinary ghost in this instance, but he’ll definitely still be affected upon seeing such a terrifying sight.

Gu Wuji didn’t sneak a look before, which was truly the best decision. If not, he probably wouldn’t be able to go back anymore.

Auston continued to paddle the small boat, ready to go and meet the incoming guests.

Of course, how long they will be able to survive in this place…… That was not something he can know of.

——

After Gu Wuji got out from the instance, he received a series of settlement messages.

His completion rate of the instance this time could be considered quite high. In combination to having received a lot of assistance from the villagers, and even finding the real truth about this instance, purifying a great number of ghosts, in addition to gaining the favorability of the mountain god, would have naturally garnered a lot of points.

Gu Wuji went in the system’s space, then added the wave of friend requests soon after. He wasn’t an unsociable person after all. In any case, he only added others when they applied.

Of course, in the perspective of the other players, Gu Wuji was still very mysterious. Although he seems to be very warmhearted, but there’s always a feeling that he was very faraway from them, with a somewhat unspeakable sense of alienation. But describing Gu Wuji as indifferent was also impossible, as he truly was a genuine good person!

In short, because of this complicated relationship, these players didn’t take the risk to carelessly say anything to Gu Wuji, and only considered Sun Shi as a great god in their friends list, which was good enough to occasionally revere.

After having decided to use the pseudonym of Sun Shi from this day forward, Gu Wuji had also directly changed his name in the system space into this straight away, which could also be regarded as an extension of the other party’s life to some extent……

[The player can choose to publicize their identity to other players in the same instance. They would only remember the player’s name and appearance during the instance.] The system’s notification suddenly conveyed at this time.

Gu Wuji asked, “What are, the benefits of doing this?”

Now that he thought of this, he had frequently met some well-known players before, who seems to be very famous as well…… Those people probably didn’t use their real names and appearances, which might probably be even more effective than keeping their identities hidden.

Of course, whatever abilities and items he possesses, were things that were still better left unexposed.

[This can increase the fame value of the player. After having reached a high amount of fame, some special benefits and functions will be accessible.] The system revealed, [Such as discounts when purchasing commodities in the mall, in addition to having priority when auctioning items. After the establishment of an organization, there will also be some limited items that can be snapped up in order to accommodate even more players.…..]

Gu Wuji got tempted upon hearing this, “So that’s the case. Then I’ll make it public.”
