I'm an NPC? Scared Out of His Wits

Li Ping held his breath and cautiously peered at the three Human Race cultivators below.

One person swung their sword, unleashing a hundred-meter-long, sharp blade aura; another person punched out a ten-meter-wide fist shadow.

Another person flew through the air on a sword, launching a relentless attack on the mythical monster.

"So powerful! Is this what Human Race cultivators are like? They're terrifying!"

He was secretly alarmed; if he were to face these people, he would probably die within a few moves.

The one riding the sword looks like a cultivator from a novel from my past life.

The fighting styles of the other two clearly indicate that they are martial arts practitioners.

Does this world simultaneously possess both Immortal Cultivation System and Martial Dao System?

Li Ping was filled with regret, wishing he could have transmigrated into the Human Race.

One can then cultivate Longevity and roam the world on a sword; even without the aptitude for cultivation, one can still cultivate martial arts.

Unlike now, as an alien monster, I can only cower in a small cave and hide to survive.

They dared not go out easily, dared not breathe freely, and lived in fear and timidity, utterly disgracing the transmigrators.

Just then, the mythical monster let out a mournful cry, and its body instantly turned into streaks of light, disappearing into the world.

The conversation of the three cultivators below reached Li Ping's ears clearly.

"Haha, our team is really lucky today! We've already slain our fourth monster. Let's keep up the good work and hunt down a few more to get more Soul Power."

"Today's harvest is indeed considerable. In my opinion, we should venture deeper into the forest to continue searching for monsters."

Even if I were to perish, it would only result in the loss of a wisp of my Divine Sense, which I could easily repair with the Soul Power I gained today, and then return to the Monster Game World to hunt monsters.

"Yes, we've already gained 52 points of Soul Power, and we're completely unharmed."

I also agree that we should venture deep into the forest to hunt monsters, as this is the only way to gain more Soul Power.

Whether used to refine the soul or sold to the System Store for Energy Points, it will be a very worthwhile investment.

"Alright, let's set off immediately and hunt down as many monsters as possible while it's still early. The monsters will become even more ferocious and difficult to deal with as night falls."

Only after the three Human Race cultivators had gone far away did Li Ping finally breathe a long sigh of relief. Then, his eyes were filled with confusion, and his mind was buzzing.

The information he had just heard from the conversation between the three was so shocking that he found it difficult to process it all at once.

He couldn't believe that the world he had transmigrated to was just a game world, and that he had become a monster NPC in that game world.

Could it be that I haven't actually traveled to another world, but rather entered a virtual game world?

No!

Wrong!

If it were just a game, it would never feel this real.

The touch, the atmosphere, and all living things in this world felt incredibly real to him, without the slightest sense of illusion.

Furthermore, as those three mentioned, Soul Power can nourish the divine soul and can be exchanged for Energy Points in the System Store.

Is "divine soul" the term he understands as referring to cultivation, or simply an attribute name in a game?

Does the so-called "System Store" refer to the game's in-game store, or the system's System Store?

Is the Divine Beast Evolution System also fake, which is why I haven't been able to collect Emotion Points?

But he could clearly sense the existence of the system; it was definitely not a fake.

Countless questions swirled in his mind, defying his judgment.

The conflicting thoughts of truth and falsehood made him completely unable to distinguish whether the world before him was real or an illusion.

A sense of bewilderment and panic instantly overwhelmed me.

If this is truly just a virtual game world, then wouldn't his dream of achieving Longevity have been completely shattered?

What if the power suddenly goes out one day, causing this virtual game world to collapse? Wouldn't he then be completely wiped out?

Thinking of this, Li Ping felt a chill run down his spine, and a deep fear welled up in his eyes.

If he could return to his original body after death, he wouldn't be afraid. But if death meant the complete annihilation of his soul, he still wanted to live.

Even though he's just a monster NPC now, he still wants to live a good life.

Half an hour later, his emotions gradually calmed down, and he began to think about the way forward.

No matter how much he planned, he had no control over his own Fate.

The best course of action right now is to just endure it, as things stand; better to live a miserable life than to die.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he brought up the system interface.

Looking at the system interface that appeared vividly before him, Li Ping's eyes gleamed with a sharp light:

Since the system interface is still there, doesn't that mean the Divine Beast Evolution System also truly exists?

He immediately asked in a deep voice, "System, are you still there?"

"Ding! Host, this system has always been here." The cold, mechanical voice of the Divine Beast Evolution System slowly sounded.

Upon hearing the system's response, Li Ping was overjoyed.

He is now in a virtual game world, and his identity is just a monster NPC.

They could be killed by players at any moment, and face the danger of the game world collapsing; their lives are constantly in danger.

Right now, the only thing we can rely on is the Divine Beast Evolution System.

The system's methods are unpredictable; it must have already uncovered the secrets of this world. This is a good opportunity to ask it out.

Only by thoroughly understanding the truth of the world can he plan his future and make the right choices.

He immediately asked, "System, what is the origin of this world? Is it truly just a virtual game world?"

Who are those people?

"And what about Soul Power, Energy Points, and the System Store? Please tell me the truth."

The Divine Beast Evolution System was taken aback upon hearing this.

It was focused on breaking the restrictions and had no time to pay attention to the outside world, so it didn't expect Li Ping to suddenly ask these questions.

Could it be that he has already seen through the truth of the world?

No!

It's likely that Li Ping encountered a host of the Fairness System and heard these terms from them, which led to his question.

It's no longer appropriate to deliberately conceal this now. If it alienates Li Ping and he stops cooperating, it will be more troublesome to collect Emotion Points in the future.

"Ding! Host, this place is called Monster Game World, not a virtual game world, but a real world."

Those people are hosts of the Fairness System. They came from another realm to hunt native monsters and obtain Soul Power for cultivation.

Energy Points are the currency of the Fairness System, and the System Store is also operated by the Fairness System.

After hearing the explanation of the Divine Beast Evolution System, Li Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it wasn't a virtual game world. If it really was just a game, then no matter how much he struggled and tried, it would be meaningless.

Now that he knows this Monster Game World is a real world, it means he still has a chance to become stronger and turn the tables.

But a crisis is also imminent.

Those players are all hosts of the Fairness System, possessing the same system as him. Not only are they incredibly powerful, but their numbers are probably quite large as well.

With his current weak strength, he might not be able to contend with even one of them.

Moreover, the Divine Beast Evolution System is currently completely ineffective, making it impossible to become stronger.

The only way out right now is to endure and lie low, stay put, and absolutely not venture out rashly.

Once you encounter a host of those Fairness System, the only outcome is death and annihilation.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "System, do you know the origin of that Fairness System?"
