Chapter 35
While looking at the crowd of people, Yongno noticed a man surrounded by approximately ten other users. Despite being encircled by so many people, the man seemed calm, and as Yongno peered through the group, he was able to make out the man’s ID: [Guide NPC Alpha 12].
“Alpha 12?”
“It means he’s a general NPC. Of course, Mari may also be seen as a general NPC since she’s always present when users enter a multipurpose space, but this specific NPC is a general NPC assigned to this area. He’s the only NPC here. Also, some NPCs are specifically created to deal with administrative work, and they all have the same appearance and personality. These administrative NPCs number up to a hundred. The NPC over there is one of those NPCs; he’s designated as number 12 out of a hundred.”
“…”
Yongno was left speechless after hearing the overly detailed explanation. Seeing as how Lancelot was standing in this room as well, Yongno knew that he must also be a newcomer. Yet, this newcomer knew a great deal more than Yongno.
“Hahaha. I’m a third-wave user. I reset my skill points, so I was sent back to this place. They didn’t make me go through all the basic tests, but they required that I complete the Joint Warfare test.”
“Then, you’re developing a whole new character?”
“Something like that, but not exactly. My equipment, items, inventory, ID, and experience points remain the same. Only my skill points and level have been reset.”
After hearing the other’s explanation, Yongno took the time to look at what Lancelot was wearing. The man was in his twenties, and he had blue martial arts clothing and wielded a long spear. Using Aura Vision, Yongno peered into Lancelot’s spiritual essence. Lancelot’s strength seemed relatively low, probably because he recently had his skill points reset. However, Yongno could not discern the type of Lancelot’s strength. Lancelot’s energy and power were not focused on a specific area around his heart or dantian. Yongno murmured to himself while contemplating this mystery.
