Mo didn't answer the girl's question, nor did he kill her as expected, despite annihilating and destroying a city the first time he logged onto the game. Years of pent-up stress and anger had been released, leaving him much calmer now.
There are two types of people who want to destroy the world. The first type hurls headlong into everything, roaring histrionically about the destruction they want to bring. The second type is diligent, down-to-earth, devoted to slowly toppling the world at their feet.
Most of the former are sent to mental institutions, and a few become various bosses, serving as stepping stones for protagonists to gain experience and boost their value. However, a very few manage to wreak havoc on the world simply because they are the protagonists, even if they blunder without thinking. Clearly, these cheats don't work for reference.
Yes, I'm talking about Kratos.
Mo, at this point, definitely falls into the latter category. Even though he may have exceptional skills in this game, if he chose to follow Kratos's unscientific and unmagical 'Attack and Kill!' route, he would probably be done for within two days, and moreover...
[Misfortune: You should not exist. Don't give anyone else or this world any chance!]
Even if the explanation for this skill is quite vague, Mo has a strong inkling that if he dies in this world, there is a 90% chance he won't be able to resurrect himself like other players. Instead, he may just disappear.
Perhaps that's why he should not give anyone else or this world any chance...
"I'm talking to you!" The dark elf girl glared at Mo, who had been distracted since earlier, and asked again, "Did you kill my prey?"
Ji Xiaodao was not in a good mood, largely because of the faction she was assigned to. In any perspective, the reticent and indifferent girl would not qualify as 'chaotic evil'. Moreover, her situation was far too absurd. Whilst others had access to nine different factional doors, Ji Xiaodao only had a half-opened black-red door in front of her.
Even though she isn't a sociable person, this incident still annoyed her, making her rather curt with Mo, who seemed to be an unapproachable person.
Mo shrugged noncommittally, pointed to the charred skeleton on the ground, and asked the girl, "Was that your prey?"
"Yes." Ji Xiaodao nodded. Her task was to [Kill a 'Marsh Pig'], which was the creature that had gone up in flames after crashing into Mo a few minutes ago.
Just as she spoke, she saw him toss her something. With the high initial agility of a dark elf, Ji Xiaodao nimbly leaped back, dodging this slow 'ambush'.
"This is compensation." Mo brushed past her and, after leaving her with these words, walked away without looking back.
Ji Xiaodao was taken aback, she picked up the 'compensation' lodged in the ground, only to be startled again.
[Dark Curse Rapier]
Weapon Type: One-handed
Quality: Superior
Attack Power: Weak
Attributes: +3 Dexterity, +1 Strength, +1 Constitution, an extremely low chance to trigger 'Blindness' for 2 seconds.
Equip Requirement: 6 Dexterity
[Note: This is a superior quality noble's rapier with exquisite and magnificent glyphs. Its appreciation value far surpasses its practical use.]
This was undoubtedly a powerful weapon for the early stages of the game, it has low equip requirements and practical effects. Even though she hadn't played for long, Ji Xiaodao, known to browse the forum from boredom, was aware of this weapon's worth in the early game.
However, she was not happy...
"Hey!" She ran a few steps to catch up with him and handed the rapier back to Mo, saying casually, "Here's your sword back. I just wanted to know if you killed that creature. I don't need any compensation."
Mo looked back at her and shook his head, "Consider it a gift from me. My inventory is full, I need to clear up some space."
Inventory?
Ji Xiaodao was slightly taken aback and asked, "Are you a player?"
Mo nodded and continued to walk.
"How are you so powerful?" Ji Xiaodao followed him, showing a slight curiosity towards Mo, his face hidden beneath his cloak.
[Player: Silent Prayer (Chaotic Evil) wants to add you as a friend]
A semi-transparent window appeared in the corner of Mo's vision. He stopped, looked coldly at the girl walking beside him and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Curiosity."
Ji Xiaodao's response was curt and concise.
Mo shook his head, casually rejected the friend request, glanced at her, "Boring."
These two words were all too familiar to Ji Xiaodao, she'd used them a few times every day. It was always how she responded to topics she found uninteresting. Whether it was her mentally younger sister or her classmates.
But being on the receiving end of those words didn't feel good at all…
