Chapter 880: Eliminating Differences
When the monsters came closer, w.a.n.g Yu shockingly realised that they were different from other monsters.
Other monster had names in white but these two monsters had names in blue.
Commander of Martial Arts Monks, Saint Reina (LV65) (Leader)
HP: 300000
MP: 100000
…
Chief of Temple Guards, Saint Joan (LV65) (Leader)
HP: 250000
MP: 200000
…
After probing into these two monsters’ information, w.a.n.g Yu realised that the two of them were monster leaders… Seems like they were going to have a quest.
The rest on standby at the back saw that they were monster leaders and relaxed quite a bit.
Monster leaders were a special type of monsters. Although they had the attributes of normal monsters, they had AI that was comparable to a BOSS. Its most common use was to announce quests.
These monsters were not rare. In dungeons from level 30 onwards, a lot of dungeons had such small quest system such as herb plucking or find an injured person which were easy with non-substantial rewards so these monsters were amongst the players’ favourite. They were also known as Welfare Monsters.
Indeed, as everyone expected, these two monsters did not attack w.a.n.g Yu. They walked up to him and the Commander of Martial Arts Monks, Saint Reina, blocked w.a.n.g Yu.
Saint Joan seriously said, “Foreigner, Five Direction Temple is a place for pract.i.tioners, and not a place for you to be. Please quickly leave.”
w.a.n.g Yu did not abide by Saint Joan’s chase. Instead, he scanned the surroundings then used the usual players’ voice and said, “How can I help you?”
Hearing what w.a.n.g Yu said, Saint Joan sounded less uptight and not as stern as before. He lightly said, “Although I really need help, it is Five Direction Temple’s matter. It is better for foreigners like you to leave.”
Saint Joan rejected him but based on his words, he indeed needed help.
w.a.n.g Yu scratched his head and asked directly, “How may I help you…”
Saint Joan, “You are a foreigner, please don’t…”
Before Saint Joan rejected him again, w.a.n.g Yu asked again, “Is there anything I can help you with?”
“Alright!”
Saint Joan was not an intelligent NPC so after w.a.n.g Yu asked to help three times, Saint Joan let down his guard and sighed, “Foreign warrior, can you help me?”
w.a.n.g Yu smiled, “Of course, or else why would I ask?”
“What an enthusiastic warrior.”
Saint Joan was so gullible and trusted w.a.n.g Yu already. After praising w.a.n.g Yu, Saint Joan said, “Foreign warrior, our monastery is currently facing a huge danger.
“Please tell me more.” Once the NPC said that and was about to tell him more, w.a.n.g Yu followed the SOP and recited his lines.
“We are a group of pract.i.tioners who believe in G.o.d but some of us have been tainted by the devil and defied G.o.d’s words. Now, they want to take over the monastery. Can you help me?”
“Accept”
w.a.n.g Yu did not hesitate before accepting.
“Eradicate differences? What is this?” Seeing the quest suddenly appear on their quest column, w.a.n.g Yu and the rest were stunned.
As everyone knew, once someone made up their mind, it would be difficult to change it. Even if they could kill the other side, they might not be able to change their mind.
Especially for these religious people, they allowed themselves to be brainwashed and have become very stubborn over everything. Once their character was set, it was hard to change. Moreover, they tend to be very extreme. Every second, they believe that they have a mission to send everyone who thought differently to meet G.o.d.
w.a.n.g Yu and the rest were homely gamers and were not into religion, nor were they salesmen. How could they easily make them think alike?
“This… Are there any hints?” w.a.n.g Yu asked hesitantly.
To w.a.n.g Yu, it was harder to change others’ thoughts than to kill them. Then again, w.a.n.g Yu was bad with words. It would be worse if he was brainwashed by the NPC.
Saint Joan laughed, “If we knew how to make them return to good, I would not trouble you.”
Saint Joan’s reply was very realistic.
This made everyone more anxious as even S-grade quests had hints. They did not know where to start for this one.
“Fearless, how about you go and confuse them?” w.a.n.g Yu turned to ask Fearless.
Fearless had the highest education amongst them and was great at warp logic so he should be able to connect with these religious people.
“I am a scientist with high morals. Brother Spring should be the one to confuse them…” Fearless pointed at Spring Halo beside him.
Spring Halo did like to do superst.i.tious things such as face-reading and bone-feeling so Spring Halo was indeed more professional at making things up.
However, Spring Halo waved his hand and said, “I only target young women… Ming Du, aren’t you usually very talkative?”
Ming Du cracked his neck and pretentiously said, “In terms of professionalism, theft suits me better.”
“…”
“Frost? How about you? You are a businessman.”
Frost Blade counter-questioned, “Do pract.i.tioners also do business?”
“Of course, look at Shaolin Temple…”
“I meant in the game…”
“F*ck…”
Everyone was once again speechless. Pract.i.tioners in the game was a group of people who practiced their beliefs unlike the corrupt monasteries in real life.
Quan Zhen Sect only had these few of them who were good at cheating. Now that they were pus.h.i.+ng it to one another, they remained in a stalemate.
Since no one in Quan Zhen Sect could do anything, Void Blade obviously could not either. They were players with no character and simply followed Captain Don’t Open Fire who was the best at using money for everything…
Those people were pract.i.tioners. If he threw money at them, they might chop him apart.
Just as everyone was worrying, Fearless suddenly asked, “May I know where those strayed pract.i.tioners are?”
Saint Joan pointed at the courtyard beside theirs and said, “Our cla.s.ses have been split. They now stay in the side residence with their leader.”
“Oh… I see.” Fearless nodded and said, “Can I ask one more thing? If we eradicate the differences for you, what kind of rewards will you give us?”
Saint Joan said, “Depends on your performance.”
“Hmm…” Fearless rubbed his chin and said, “I have a way to completely eradicate your differences but I have been lied to so much that I have no sense of security. Can you give me the reward first?”
