This NPC Is Definitely Not Simple! (Part 2)

"Don't get excited! Don't get excited, Vivian, calm down."

Liao Zixuan, while mentally cursing the player with the hunter subclass for his impulsive shot, quickly transmitted his thoughts via telepathy to soothe the young girl.

"They probably meant no harm. They just mistook me for a wild monster and were afraid I'd hurt you, so they attacked me."

To be honest, Liao Zixuan was also startled by the girl's reaction.

Especially after the "Magic Shield" ended, the once honest and simple girl almost threw a "Magic Missile" at the two beta testers.

This had thoroughly frightened Liao Zixuan.

It was rare to encounter two leeks— no, dear player allies! He absolutely couldn't let Vivian obliterate them into dust with a single missile.

Of course, he was also touched.

It seemed his affection for this silly child wasn't in vain!

Meanwhile, on Vivian's side, after sensing the vague thought transmitted by her little wolf cub, indicating "she should calm down," the girl finally broke free from her impulsive state.

In fact, even the young girl herself hadn't expected that in that moment, upon seeing the stranger with the bow and arrow shoot at Little Black, wanting to harm him, she would become so angry and agitated.

The "Magic Shield" was deployed almost instinctively.

Even though the arrow wasn't aimed at her, and even though Vivian knew that such an attack would be negligible to Little Black and cause no harm.

"Um, s-sorry about that just now…"

Having regained her composure, Vivian immediately trotted over to the two beta testers who were still frozen in place, their minds seemingly crashed.

The young girl bowed deeply, looking very embarrassed.

"It-it was me, I didn't understand the situation and almost used magic to a-attack you. I'm really, very sorry for scaring you! Sorry, sorry!"

Vivian apologized nervously, stammering.

The young girl seemed to have reverted to the shy, simple village girl Liao Zixuan first met, completely different from the girl who had unleashed terrifying magical power just moments before.

"Cough, cough." Vivian's apologies finally brought the two beta testers back to their senses.

They both coughed awkwardly and quickly waved their hands at the girl, looking flattered.

"It's fine, it's fine! I was too hasty and shot an arrow at your, uh… pet?" Big Watermelon's gaze drifted to the little black wolf following behind the girl, he asked tentatively.

If he still couldn't tell by now that this village girl and this little black wolf were together, he might as well just bash his head against a wall.

Actually, with Andy's prior explanation, Big Watermelon could quickly accept that Vivian could also use magic.

After all, if his younger brother could use magic, it wasn't unreasonable for his older sister to do so as well.

The reason Big Watermelon was still so shocked was the girl's immense magical power, arguably the strongest NPC he had seen in his half-month of beta testing.

He secretly speculated that this young girl had likely successfully advanced to become a formal mage, no, perhaps even higher, reaching the second-tier profession.

But this brought up another question: how could a spellcaster be associated with a monster?

Hiss…

Wait!

Big Watermelon's mind suddenly flashed, and he recalled the major professions showcased in the "Fall of the Gods" trailer.

And spellcasters… monsters. It seemed there was indeed a profession that could link these two.

Could it be…

Just as Big Watermelon was about to deduce the correct answer, Vivian interrupted him, or rather, confirmed his guess.

"Little Black isn't my pet." The girl first shook her head vigorously, then bent down, picking up Liao Zixuan from the ground and gently stroking him.

"He was summoned by me, he's my partner. I consider Little Black my family, my family!" Vivian corrected Big Watermelon's words very seriously.

At the end, she looked a little embarrassed but finally mustered the courage to say what was in her heart, as if this was a very important matter to her.

Of course.

After speaking, the young girl's face turned away, too shy to look at the little wolf cub stretching in her arms.

After all, Vivian knew that her Little Black possessed extremely high intelligence and could understand what she meant.

Meanwhile, while the young girl's face was flushed with embarrassment from her shy confession, the other two beta testers, as listeners, were once again experiencing a huge wave of emotion due to her words.

Especially the classmate Melee God of Magic, who had always admired the "Mage" profession.

Holy crap!

Melee God of Magic stared at Vivian, dumbfounded.

Summoned?

She wasn't a "Mage" profession user, she was a Su-Summoner!?

That's not right!

Even if she was a Summoner, belonging to the "Spellcaster" lineage, wasn't this magical intensity a bit too exaggerated!?

After all, Melee God of Magic had researched all magic-using professions in "Fall of the Gods" several times. He was also familiar with the Summoner profession. This type of profession could be considered a very peripheral branch of the "Spellcaster" lineage. The game trailer stated that they abandoned the pursuit of elements and magic to study the mysteries of magical creatures.

In simpler terms, Summoners could be said to be the weakest in their use of magic, as their strength often depended not on themselves, but on the magical beasts they contracted with.

Thinking this, the Melee God of Magic and his good friend, Big Watermelon, couldn't help but exchange a glance.

They had initially thought the terrifying magical pressure from moments ago was the young girl's strong suit, but who knew it was actually her weakest point?

The young girl's true strong suit as a "Summoner"...

Just how strong was this seemingly lazy little black wolf she held in her arms?!

And he had actually shot an arrow at this little wolf without knowing any better!

Thinking of this, Big Watermelon broke out in a cold sweat. The death penalty for players in "Fall of the Gods" was quite severe, especially in the beta test. He had no doubt that this black wolf, which looked like a mere cub, could absolutely kill him without even needing to blink. By then, he'd have nowhere to go to cry.

Of course, while fear was one thing, at the same time, a cat's paw seemed to be scratching incessantly in the hearts of these two senior beta testers, their intense curiosity uncontainable.

Now, they both knew this young girl was strong. She was likely the strongest hidden NPC in this entire outer area, across several villages.

But strong was one thing, just how strong was she?

Even though the Melee God of Magic and Big Watermelon knew very well that the more powerful the NPC you used the "Detect" skill on, the more likely you were to be noticed by them, which was considered rude. This was why they hadn't used Detect on Vivian right away.

But now, the two of them couldn't hold back any longer.

They wanted to use the system to investigate the secrets of this NPC named "Vivian" in more detail.

Thus, after a mental struggle, they felt that judging from their previous apologies, the young girl was quite kind and good, so she should... wouldn't mind this, right?

Whatever, Detect!

The little wolf cub cradled in the girl's arms, Liao Zixuan let out a yawn at this moment. Upon feeling the "Detect" fluctuation being cast upon Vivian, he smiled with relief in his heart.

Tsk.

Didn't she just take the bait?
