NPC's Poverty Story

Chapter 23
An Mio opened his eyes and saw an empty space. A man whose face could not be seen clearly was leaning on a stone seat floating in the air with his legs crossed and his forehead resting on one hand.

Although she couldn't see the man's face clearly, An Mio could feel that the man was watching her with a superior attitude.

An Miao stared at the man intently, not moving rashly, not panicking, just a little confused. She remembered that she should be sleeping.

If it were just a dream, it would be too real.

"What's your name?" The man in front of him asked suddenly, with a tentative tone in his tone.

"An Mio." After hesitating for a moment, An Mio said her name. She didn't know what this man was doing, but saying this name wouldn't affect her in any way.

"Very good." The man nodded, as if he was satisfied with An Mio's performance, and then An Mio heard the man say: "From now on, you will answer whatever I ask."

What's happening here?
An Miao looked confused. Does this guy have a bad mind or a bad brain? Why do you have to answer when you ask me?
Soon, a thought flashed through An Mio's mind, and she seemed to suddenly understand something.

Maybe it's not that there is something wrong with this guy's brain, but something wrong with himself. This man thinks that he is in a state similar to being hypnotized.

But in fact she was very sober at this time, the reason An Mio had this idea was because she recalled an important thing from the memory of the Pirate Queen.

That is, there are extraordinary powers in this world, such as magic and the like. This is not a purely technological game world.

When she created the character, there was the Eldar race, they were good at magic, but then this memory suddenly disappeared for some reason, and she didn't recall it again until yesterday.

If she was really facing extraordinary power or magic, the man's behavior would be normal. He thought he had controlled An Miao, so he said such words.

Regardless of whether it was what she guessed or not, An Mio decided not to reveal the fact that she was sober. As an NPC, she was very cautious and avoided anything that might threaten her own safety, even if it was really just a dream.

After making a decision, An Mio nodded with a blank expression, exactly the same as before, showing no abnormality.

In terms of acting skills, An Mio thinks it's not bad, if she just pretends to be controlled, it's more than enough.

After seeing An Miao nodding, the man asked again, "What is your relationship with Old Ross?"

After An Mio heard this question, she was sure that this was not an ordinary dream. She met an extraordinary person who invaded her dream and wanted to get old Rose's information through her.

It's a pity that he came to An Mio to find the wrong person. An Mio also wanted to know the origin of old Ross, and he could still have a relationship with the Transcendent.

"He's my teacher." An Mio replied, since she could ask this question, it meant that the other party didn't know about her relationship with Old Ross, even if she answered casually, the other party couldn't verify it.

An Mio thought so, but who knew that the man nodded affirmatively after listening, as if the doubts in his heart had finally been confirmed.

An Mio was baffled by this change, did the other party agree and believe her?

An Miao labeled the man as mentally retarded in her heart, but she remained calm on the surface. She was looking forward to the man's follow-up questions. It was impossible for him to intrude into her dream with such trouble just to ask such a question.

Maybe some of the answers she wants can be found in men.

As for why she was not controlled, An Mio felt that it should be because of her intelligence attribute. The average attribute of an average person is five points, but her current intelligence is 9 points. The intelligence attribute affects a person's mental strength. The higher the intelligence, the stronger the mental power, and the resistance to mental attacks will also be greatly improved.

This is also the reason why the man didn't directly invade Old Rose's dreamland, because Old Rose's mechanic rank is higher than An Mio's, and his intelligence attributes are naturally much higher.

It's just that the man didn't expect An Miao's intelligence attributes to be so high, and her dream invasion had no effect at all.

The man is Freya Hades, known as the Nightmare Fang. He is a psychic supernatural being who has the ability to pull people into dreams and kill them. People who die in dreams will also die in reality.

He used this power to kill those people at the Kaidi Hotel. He was testing An Mio when he asked about the relationship between An Miao and Old Ross, because the information he got from Igor was that An Miao was a student of Old Ross. .

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this matter was only what Igor himself believed to be the truth, and it was a coincidence that An Mio would answer this way.

After two trials, Freya finally asked her real purpose: "Where did Old Ross hide the Life Source Crystal?"

The so-called source crystal of life is a stone with magical power. It was something old Ross found in a star market, and was later discovered by the high-level officials of Stardust Tower, who forced old Ross to hand over the source crystal of life. Dead old Rose's wife and daughter.

In the end, the people in the Stardust Tower did not get the source of life, and the old Rose ran away with his dying daughter, and disappeared from sight.

It was a complete accident that they got the news of Old Rose and the source crystal of life on this planet, because their original purpose was to cooperate with the people of the Dawn Alliance to take down the experimental base of the Ansu Empire on this planet.

But when they came to Mufeng City, they accidentally obtained a mechanical part. Through that mechanical part, they guessed that Old Ross might be here, and then Igor tried to test Ross's repair shop.

Of course, the decision to cooperate with the Dawn Alliance was just a decision made by a small family under the name of Stardust Tower. Even the top management of Stardust Tower did not know about it.

Otherwise, Stardust Tower and the Ansu Empire are both cosmic-level powers, and they would not start a dispute over a backward border planet.

The deal between the Horst family and Shuguang is confidential, and the fact that they obtained the whereabouts of Old Rose is also confidential, otherwise the source of life would have nothing to do with them.

However, the Horst family is also divided into two factions, one is the independent faction, they advocate leaving the Stardust Tower and developing their own forces, and the other is the conservative faction, they advocate keeping a low profile for the forces attached to the Stardust Tower.

Igor publicly obeyed the orders of the independents, but secretly defected to the conservatives. The entire Horst family knew this. Only Igor felt good about himself and did not know that he had been betrayed.

Saya Horst, who came to cooperate with the Dawn Alliance, belongs to the independent faction. He asked Igor to stay in Mufeng City to investigate the matter of Old Rose. In fact, he was waiting for Freya to come and get rid of him, a traitor.

Freya is not a member of the Horst family. He was originally an interstellar wanderer with extraordinary power. Later, he was taken in by the Horst family and worked for the Horst family. There is no doubt about his loyalty.

And now, Freya is waiting for An Mio's answer. Whether she knows it or not, her ending is doomed to death, because no one who knows about this matter can live, otherwise it will reach the ears of the Stardust Tower high-level , the entire Horst family will suffer.

An Mio on the other side is thinking about the next plan. She doesn't know what the source of life is, but there is no doubt that all of this is due to the so-called source of life.

Since the man asked about such an important matter, he was definitely not ready to let her go. An Miao knew this very well. Before that, she had to take advantage of her.

What you want to know is already known, and it doesn't matter if it is exposed.
