The people there were dressed in various strange ways: there were civilized individuals in long robes pretending to be refined, rude and burly men in horse jackets with bare chests, merchants setting up simple stalls with crudely written shop signs, and women in qipao with heavy makeup, looking like streetwalkers, winking at passersby. This seemed like a small rural town, crude and simple, yet it appeared to have all the necessary amenities, shops, and taverns. Lin and Wang appeared directly in the center of the town, in a relatively spacious area, which looked like a small gathering square. Surprisingly, upon seeing the scene before them, neither of them was greatly alarmed; instead, after looking around, they exchanged a knowing glance and nodded to each other with deep understanding.
“Xiaoyun, do you believe this is real?”
“Maple, you must have seen the name above my head, right? What’s there to doubt? I can handle it!”
“So you think we’ve…transported into the game?”
“Stop the chatter, let’s go find Li Changgen to get our beginner tasks!”
Wang Xiaoyun, rarely showing excitement, had her eyes shining with eagerness for the adventure ahead.
“Enough with the fuss, what are you coughing about? It’s just the beginner’s village in the Fantasy World MMORPG!”
“Li Changgen is to the northwest. I’m going first!”
Without another word, Wang Xiaoyun strode off towards the target NPC. Lin Feng was still somewhat out of his element. Wang Xiaoyun’s aggressive behavior just now was too fierce, making him momentarily doubt if the violent and wild girl named “True” Ghost Hand Merciless in front of him was indeed his beloved Xiaoyun. Moreover, Xiaoyun seemed incredibly familiar with this supposed Fantasy World MMORPG, instantly knowing the names and functions of various NPCs in the beginner’s village, and then she rushed off to complete her beginner tasks without any hesitation or doubt about what was happening around her.
