[??? What does that mean?]
The reply about the offline instance had just appeared, and it immediately drew countless people's attention. A flood of players came out to ask questions.
The player who had warned everyone not to enter the offline instance was quick to reply, too.
[Exactly what it says. I've read your posts, too, so I know what the online game is like. Let me put it this way: all the NPCs in the offline version seem to have more autonomy. Even the receptionist might act on her own and ignore players outright.
But that's not the most important part—the most important thing is that these bastards psychologically manipulate players!
Especially that receptionist. She's been following me around, constantly talking about that lady. The problem is, if she were teaching me how that lady hunts, that'd be one thing—but all she talks about is how long it took that lady to kill this monster or that one, and what she'd do with this weapon or that weapon. If I can't do it, it's because I'm not trying hard enough or I'm not strong enough. My head's about to explode!!
And it's not just her! Even when I went to the canteen for a meal, the Chef's first words were, "Give it a taste. This was that lady's favorite meal!" When I went to the Smithy to get some gear made, the Blacksmith said, "Don't use the same weapon as that lady. I'll tweak the details for you." The Commander would look at me and recount that lady's exploits, calling her a taboo of the New World. Even at the Felyne Cart, damn it, I could hear the Palicoes talking about her! I'm the player, damn it! Ahhh—yeah, that's right. That lady is Lu Xiu.]
