Lin Feng surveyed his surroundings with a mysterious gaze, taking the opportunity to check his game equipment. His network ID was still his main account, Ghost Hand Merciless, but his gear was nothing to speak of—just a blank slate, a level zero character with absolutely nothing. Looking at the very familiar scenes around him, Lin Feng felt a bit at a loss. He tried to contact Niuniu again, but ever since he was sealed in this space as a spiritual entity, he hadn’t been able to sense her presence. At the moment he was about to succumb to his inner demons, Niuniu seemed to have appeared once, but after saving him, she disconnected from him entirely. Lin Feng increasingly felt unable to control Niuniu’s existence. In his subconscious, he always felt something significant was about to happen, something related to Niuniu. Unable to contact her, he recalled the last time in the hospital when his spiritual and physical energy were both depleted; this time, despite having full spiritual energy, he still couldn’t reach her, which made him slightly worried. However, with the experience from last time, he wasn’t immediately flustered.
Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoyun had already accepted her beginner’s tasks and was bustling between NPCs. “This silly girl really loves to play, but I’ve never heard her say she likes playing MMORPGs before!” And looking at her skillful movements, it was clear she wasn’t new to the Fantasy World. Her ID was “True” Ghost Hand Merciless, which puzzled him. Suddenly, Lin Feng remembered something crucial and chased after Wang Xiaoyun without hesitation. Thanks to his Swift Wind Steps skill, catching up was easy.
“Xiaoyun, wait a moment!”
“What’s up?” Wang Xiaoyun was holding two pounds of pork, ready to deliver it to NPC Aunt Cuifang for NPC Gouzi.
Her cheeks were flushed from running, and even though Lin Feng stopped her, she instinctively continued forward. These beginner tasks had time limits, and the faster they were completed, the more experience points you got, so she didn’t want to waste a single moment.
“You’re called ‘True’ Ghost Hand Merciless? How did you end up with such a name? Are you the one who recently caused a sensation across all servers, leveling from zero to Supreme in just three days?”
