Chapter 365: Knight of Ruin (4)
Of course, Kai also knew that the NPCs were virtual personalities developed by Pegasus Corporation. But knowing something and accepting it in the heart were two different things. The gap between the two was unimaginably large.
In fact, there were far more NPCs than players around Kai. First of all, his own territory's citizens were all NPCs, including the merfolk, elves, dwarves, and birdfolk. The Holy Blood Order of the Solarian Church and the faculty of the Arkan Academy were also NPCs. Lastly, the same went for his summons and the cute gods. In fact, there were barely any people left in his game life without NPCs.
This was certainly different from the usual players who only stuck together with other players.
Of course NPCs are just programs, but...
They thought, acted and spoke like people, and even felt emotions on their own.
Because of that, Goliath’s words were no different from denying Kai’s entire gameplay style. Moreover, he couldn’t forgive someone who killed residents without any guilt just to grow stronger.
“Should I come to you, or will you come to me?”
Kai still hadn’t used any buff skills. He was literally in his default state.
Staring at him, Goliath said in an arrogant voice, “You come. And... are you sure you’re okay like that? It looks like you haven’t cast any buffs yet.”
“Buffs?”
“I don’t like people making excuses later. Don’t start whining afterwards and come at me with full power from the start.”
