1036 There's an NPC Here? Top-grade Transaction Delivered to My Door!

Chu Feng surveyed his surroundings.

Only then did he realize that the surroundings were terrifyingly silent.

Ever since he entered the range of the dilapidated wooden house, he had not seen a single Astral Beast after such a long time.

With the density of Astral Beasts in the core area of the Starting Ground, this was an unbelievable phenomenon!

For some reason, Chu Feng felt that this worn-out wooden house revealed a hint of mystery.

"This worn-out wooden house is definitely not simple!"

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Chu Feng seemed to be encouraging himself as he said firmly.

Then, he pushed open the door of the worn-out wooden house.

When he entered, a moldy smell of decay could be smelled.

It was pitch-black inside.

Through a trace of sunlight that seeped through the cracks, he could see that the walls of the worn-out wooden house were already densely covered in spider webs.

Chu Feng could not help but frown.

He slowly walked in.

Crash!

He seemed to have inadvertently kicked down a pile of empty wine bottles, making crackling sounds.

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

"This place seems to be completely different from those treasure shops. Could it have been abandoned?"

Although the treasure shop from before looked extremely worn-out, its interior was actually quite clean and tidy.

At the very least, it was not like this one here, where there was not even a place to land!

Could it really be wasted?!

Chu Feng frowned. However, since he was already here, he decided to take a look.

He only carefully covered his nose with his palm, afraid that there would be a poisonous gas attack in this sloppy space.

Just as he was fumbling around, he suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground!

"Damn? What is that?!"

Chu Feng was shocked.

He immediately became on guard. He suddenly held the Demon Slayer in his hand and was extremely vigilant!

To be able to almost trip him without him noticing, what was this thing?!

Just as Chu Feng was feeling puzzled, a slightly painful groan came from beneath his feet.

"Hmm… Great Master of the Imperial Court, I was just sleeping lightly. Why was I almost trampled to death?"

His voice echoed in the worn-out wooden house.

Chu Feng was so frightened that his hair stood on end.

The next moment, yellow lamps appeared out of thin air.

One after another, they lit up and instantly dispersed the darkness in the entire worn-out wooden house.

Chu Feng was able to get a full view.

Under his feet was a sloppy old man with a face full of stubble.

The sloppy old man's hair was messy like a chicken's nest, mixed with some straw and dead leaves.

Chu Feng pursed his lips.

How did this guy make him look like this?

Even a beggar wouldn't be like this, right?

Of course, Chu Feng was still extremely vigilant.

When he first entered, he did not sense any living beings at all!

This old man was actually able to easily deceive his perception. If he dared to underestimate him, Chu Feng was afraid that he would not even know how he died!

Could it be that this guy was also a candidate?

Did many people know about these coordinates?

Chu Feng was filled with doubt.

However, he was still careful and on guard!

He planned to strike first if there was any movement!

Whether it was killing this old man or escaping, the initiative had to be in his hands!

At this moment, the little elf beside him danced around the sloppy old man and sized him up carefully, as if she was thinking about something.

Suddenly, the sloppy old man waved his hand like a fly and said unhappily, "Little fellow, why are you flying around in front of Old Porter? Has no one taught you that this is very rude to an elder?"

Hearing this, before the little elf could react, Chu Feng was suddenly shocked.

He remembered that the little elf had once said that she was the incarnation of the rules. Other than him, no one else could see her!

But why now…

At that moment, the little elf suddenly came to a realization. She turned around to look at Chu Feng and shouted, "Master! I remember now!"

"This sloppy old man was also created by the rules!"

"He's not a true living being! And he's not a candidate! He's a… guide like me!"

Chu Feng raised his eyebrows in shock.

The extremely realistic creature in front of him was actually created by the rules?

In other words… this guy was an NPC?

In the past, when he was playing online games on Earth, he was no stranger to NPCs.

They were usually placed in the game to facilitate the plot, give guidance, obtain information… and so on to increase the fun of the game.

Could this old man be such an existence?

Chu Feng rubbed his chin and felt that his guess should be correct.

Otherwise, why would the rules place a wooden house here for no reason?

There was only a sloppy old man like a beggar inside.

Chu Feng increasingly felt that the settings of this Starting Ground were becoming more and more like those online games he had played in the past!

Immediately, Chu Feng became interested.

In the game, what did the appearance of NPCs mean?

It represented an opportunity!

However, Chu Feng looked around and could not see anything different about this old man.

How could he trigger it?

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

Try to have a conversation?

Wasn't this how games were like in the past?

It was good to just say hello and increase their fondness!

But before Chu Feng could speak, the sloppy old man suddenly took the initiative to speak.

"Kid, can you take your foot off Old Porter's thigh? That blade in your hand is too heavy. It's about to crush Old Porter to death!"

Only then did Chu Feng snap out of it.

He hurriedly retracted his foot.

However, he was secretly shocked.

This sloppy old man was really not simple. With just a simple glance, he could tell that his Demon Slayer was extraordinary!

"Sir, I'm really sorry. I was rude."

Chu Feng apologized.

Then, he recalled the games from before and felt that the next process should be to trigger the mission, right?

As expected, right after Chu Feng said those words…

The sloppy old man smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright. I'm not a petty person. You're a polite young man. I think highly of you. How about this? I have a deal here. I wonder if you're interested?"

Chu Feng raised an eyebrow.

It's here!

But… was it that easy?

This was considered taking the initiative to come knocking on his door, right?

Chu Feng was puzzled. However, he decided to continue listening to the sloppy old man.

"Esteemed Mr. Old Porter, you are an admirable elder. It is my honor to be able to trade with you."

"I wonder what kind of deal it is, Mr. Old Porter?"

The sloppy old man was clearly very satisfied with Chu Feng's answer. His wrinkled face was like a flower.

"Smart young man."

"I'm an alchemist who has traveled here. I happen to need a large number of Astral Beast Souls for alchemy. Are you willing to give me some Astral Beast Souls?"

"Of course, in return, I'm willing to give you some alchemy treasures…"
