An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a green Daoist robe, stepped forward.
He then bowed respectfully. "Li Chang Geng greets you, fellow daoist!"
"Huh? Li Chang Geng? Taibai Jinxing? ...With that act, I thought it was Shen Gongbao from the dialogue!"
NPC: Li Chang Geng Level: 800 Background: Ox Horn Domain Guardian.
"Huh? Ox Horn Domain Guardian?" Chi Yu froze, then stared at Li Chang Geng as though he were a plate of delicious delicacies.
"F-fellow daoist, what are you...?"
"Ahem, ahem. You're so handsome that I got a little carried away staring."
"Ahem, ahem. Fellow daoist, you truly know how to joke." A chill ran down Li Chang Geng's spine, and he hurriedly backed away a meter.
"Speak! What is it?"
"Oh... oh, right. I have a..."
Another round of dialogue triggered a hidden quest.
Quest: Investigation.
Head to the Dark River ten miles north of Ox Horn Domain and investigate. There seem to be traces of the Demon Clan there. Players, be careful and remain concealed.
After investigating thoroughly, return here and submit the quest to Li Chang Geng to receive the follow-up quest.
"Huh? A chain quest?"
He clicked to accept it, only for the game notification to immediately sound, showing that the quest had been completed.
Chi Yu was dumbfounded once again. Only after Extreme Dao explained it did he understand.
It turned out that Chi Yu had wandered through that Dark River before, slaughtering all the monsters there and fulfilling the quest requirements.
The quest was quickly submitted. Li Chang Geng now seemed like a machine, expressionless and without the humanity he had shown earlier.
This was the legendary game NPC, the kind that did not make idle conversation.
Quest: Investigation II
