Reborn NPC: I'm really not the protagonist!

"!!"

In an instant, Fina's eyes widened and she stared at Mr. Cat nervously, fearing that this monster whose voice suddenly changed would go crazy.

Hill was about to say something, but the next moment, Xiaoyu came out of Mr. Cat's body again and looked at the two people with strange expressions curiously: "Sister Hill, what's wrong?"

But Hill didn't answer her.

Like Fina, the two watched in amazement as Mr. Cat's body suddenly swelled up and his tentacles stretched out, then shrank back, turning into a cute slime...

Hill frowned slightly, narrowed his eyes, and observed Mr. Cat again.

As expected, at the bottom of Mr. Cat's information, a new status was added: [Fighting Stance (Not Activated)]

Looking at the words "not activated", Hill fell into deep thought.

Perhaps it's the bond between owner and pet, or maybe it's the design of "waste utilization", it seems that Xiaoyu is the key to activating Mr. Cat's fighting posture.

She thought for a moment, then looked at the spirit floating in the air: "Xiaoyu, try getting into Mr. Cat's body again."

"Huh?" Xiaoyu was confused, but still did as she was told.

This time, after she crawled into Mr. Cat's body, she popped her head out from the top of Mr. Cat's head, between his two cat ears.

The next moment, Mr. Cat mutated again.

“Hey hey hey! Why did Mr. Cat change back again!?” Xiaoyu was horrified and almost cried: “Is it, is it because of me? Woo woo… I want the cute Mr. Cat…”

"........."

Hill remained silent and kept observing Mr. Cat.

Mr. Cat's appearance at this time cannot be said to be completely similar to before, because overall... it is even more terrifying!

The wriggling tentacles seemed tougher, the skin more lustrous, and even covered with a layer of faintly visible scales....

Looking at Mr. Cat's information again, as expected, the combat stance has been activated, and all of Mr. Cat's data in the insight technique... have all improved a lot compared to before!

If estimated based on the average value of the range improvement, all attributes have grown by almost 50%!

As expected...Mr. Cat in slime state was just kneaded by Lu casually, but Mr. Cat now is his "masterpiece"...

Without considering appearance at all, Mr. Cat's limited physical structure is used to maximize his combat power, which is very much in the style of the God of War and Fire.

"Once you leave Mr. Cat's body, it will return to its original state."

She collected her thoughts and looked at Xiaoyu on Mr. Cat's head: "Don't come out yet, try to see if you can give Mr. Cat an order first."

"Oh... okay then..." Xiaoyu was about to leave Mr. Cat's body when Hill called her back. She nodded obediently, then thought for a moment and said, "Well... Mr. Cat, roll over!"

"Meow~" Mr. Cat meowed happily and rolled over on the ground, making the floor creak.

"Wow...Sister Hill, Mr. Cat really listens to me!" Xiaoyu was stunned and his eyes widened in surprise.

"It listens to you..."

Having said that, Hill roughly guessed that Mr. Cat at this moment was more obedient than before, and was more like the kind of obedient person who had "merged" with Xiaoyu.

"Hehe~ I can help Sister Hill in the future!" Xiaoyu squinted her eyes happily, stretched out her little hand, and pointed at Hill: "Mr. Cat, rub Sister Hill!"

"Meow~"

Mr. Cat did as he was told immediately. However, when he stretched out his tentacles and was about to get close to Hill, he happened to meet those unfriendly eyes. So after thinking it over, he silently retracted his tentacles...

It seems that he still has a high degree of autonomy...

Only then did Hill suppress the hostility in his eyes.

"So..." Fina, who had been watching Hill muttering, finally spoke up when she saw that he seemed to have come to a conclusion: "Can you control it?"

"Okay." Hill nodded.

"Then can we start?" Fina asked again: "Time is running out."

"it is good."

Soon, after Mr. Cat cleaned Hill's room, the two of them and the slime left the inn.

After getting used to the hustle and bustle of Bell Town, the beer town, which was not deserted to begin with, even made people a little uncomfortable for a while.

There were only a few pedestrians on the street. Of course, there were still players, but they were so few that you could only see a few players from time to time, either gathered together or exploring on their own.

After all, there are no mandatory areas in "The Sanctuary". As long as players are not afraid of death and don't mind the trouble, they can go wherever they want, such as the Brew City.

Before portal magic became popular, players really had to run for a day or two to get from the novice village.

But there are all kinds of birds in the forest. At least in the previous life, there were also players who created games recklessly when the server was first launched and ended up in the deep mountains and forests, activated the hidden resurrection point, and did not leave the forest for half a month.

The players who discovered Hill and Fina were also surprised. Beer City is one of the cities closest to Bell Town, and most of the players here come from Bell Town, so they must pay more attention to various news in their novice area.

After discovering the two people, a player immediately posted their whereabouts on the forum.

The focus of players is always a mystery. For a while, some people were attacking Hill and Fina, some were asking about the cute slime behind them, and some were even cuckolding Alice's screenshots...

Of course, there are also more reliable players who are making analyses based on the tasks that Ye Ao had previously posted online.

In addition, Hill and Fina's "abnormal" departure from Bell Town also made players feel more nervous about the impending storm.

But for players, it may be too exciting...

Fina followed Hill all the way and arrived at a brewery in a few minutes. Mr. Cat, according to Hill's instructions, drilled into the pipe of the brewery.

A scent of wheat wafts over.

Hill looked around and saw the workers in the winery staring at him strangely, and stopped what they were doing.

It seems to be here...

It had been so long that her memory was a little fuzzy.

Fortunately, I found the right one.

Dale Brothers Brewery is the largest underground gang base in Ale City! It is also the final place where the main missions of Ale City converge.

No... Rather than calling it an underground gang, it should be called... the base of the actual controller of Beer City!

This is also why the workers looked at them strangely.

The residents of the beer city would not rush in stupidly. Last time, a fool who didn't know how to live or die came here to ask them to return his daughter, but he went in standing and came out lying down. The guards in the city even stopped others from entering at the door, and finally went in and took the man away and threw him into prison when it was almost time....

The guards in this city have already been bribed!

But the Dale brothers were extremely cunning. In addition to using violence and gold coins to threaten the citizens and bribe the guards, they would also give a large sum of money to the poor or those in need from time to time. Therefore, in the entire Ale City, except for a few victims, most people even loved them, until one of them became the next unlucky person...

And now....

"We are here to discuss business," Hill took out a bag of gold coins and threw it on the ground: "Take us to see your leader."

“............” The workers remained silent and stared at the two men.

After seeing the swords on the two women's waists, it seemed that they were not easy to deal with, or perhaps they were liaisons sent by gangs in other cities, so no one wanted to take action.

One of them bent down, picked up the purse on the ground, shook it, glanced deeply at Hill and Fina, turned around without saying a word, and opened the secret door on the side.

A deep passage leading underground suddenly appeared.

Hill and Fina looked at each other and followed the man into the passage....

After a while, the two followed the person in front of them and came underground. The damp dripping sound, the sound of water flowing in the sewer, the faint groans from the depths and the crackling of torches echoed in this deep and huge space, making Fina raise her eyebrows.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in."

The person leading the way came to a door and knocked slowly. The next moment, the person inside responded.

The man opened the door, glanced at the two of them, and stayed outside.

Hill and Fina entered the room one after another. Compared with the dark corridor, this underground room seemed extremely warm and even luxuriously decorated.

There were about thirty people in the room, more than half of them were well-equipped guards, and the rest, judging from their appearance, were nobles and officials of this city.

"The deputy leader of the Free Heart... and this newcomer," a lazy and slightly teasing voice came from the end. Hill and Fina looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man in gorgeous clothes with his legs on the table. "I heard that you have a business deal to discuss...?"

He looked at the two of them and suddenly laughed meaningfully: "You'd better be telling the truth, otherwise, I have another more profitable business..."

"hey-hey...."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two nobles who had been attracted to the two from the beginning and were staring at them could not help but laugh lasciviously. It seemed that this good deal was not so cost-effective for Hill and Fina.

"I heard that you are looking for a buyer," Hill walked slowly to the man, "The buyer of the Knowledge Totem stolen from the Magic Academy."

"I want that thing." She said, and threw all the bags of gold coins around her waist onto the table.

During this period of time, by taking advantage of the players, Hill made a lot of money, filling several small bags with 2,000 gold coins.

The symbolic meaning of the Knowledge Totem is far higher than the [Whisper of the Sages] remaining inside it. The so-called Whisper of the Sages is nothing more than some mysterious words of the ancients. I believe that this gang leader will not fail to see it clearly.

As for spending the hard-earned gold coins, to be honest, Hill didn't feel bad. Money is meant to be spent, not to mention that there are endless leeks waiting to be offered to her...

However... the other party took out the purse, took a look and suddenly grinned.

"This is something we got from those people at the Magic Academy. We called all of you here today to decide who owns it... I'm afraid this little money is not enough."

"........."

"Wow!" Suddenly, another bag of gold coins was thrown onto the table. Fina came to Hill and said coldly, "Is this enough?"

"Master, you know, the people from the magic academy are not easy to deal with. They are still looking for trouble with us..."

"Wow!"

The man smiled and spoke, but before he could finish his words, another bag of gold coins was thrown onto the table.

"Is that enough?" Fina asked again.

"...Master Captain..." The man looked at the bags of money on the table, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Don't humiliate yourself in front of you all~"

"........."

Fina was silent. On the table were all her and Hill's belongings. It seemed that the other party really did not intend to sell the totem to them.

She narrowed her eyes and suddenly sighed: "Let's go."

There was no point in continuing the stalemate, so she stepped forward and tried to get her purse back.

However, at this moment, the man suddenly spread his hands and took the money bags towards himself: "Wait a minute, I didn't think I said this money can be..."

"bass!!"

"puff!"

Before he could finish his words, a silver light flashed in the blink of an eye, followed by blood spilling on the gold coin...

"............" The pain has not yet reached the man's nerves. At this moment, he is more shocked.

He just stared at the person in front of him, a little dazed for a moment.

A dagger nailed his hand to the table.

The owner of the dagger, the black-haired girl, was staring at him, and then suddenly moved the dagger.

A cold inquiry followed;

"Is this enough?"
