Chapter 30: To Open or Not To Open
While time was suspended, Bai Yan took advantage of it and carefully crouched down to take a closer look at the old lady’s situation.
The grandmother’s head was full of white strands of hair, while her face was deeply ingrained with wrinkles. She looked about 70 years old. Bai Yan held out her arm and saw old liver spots sprayed across her arm, which were any old person’s usual features. The painful look on her face didn’t seem fake either.
After taking a rough observation of the elderly, Bai Yan shifted his attention to the fallen vegetable basket.
While the old woman fell, contrary to what you might have expected, her vegetable basket neatly landed on the side after her fall. The basket had a thick layer of cloth on top, causing only a few of the greenery to tumble out.
Bai Yan pulled open the thick cloth and outstretched his hand to search inside the basket. Inside were merely an adornment of wild herbs that he couldn’t recognize and nothing else.
“This person seems to be just a regular old woman. But, if she really is an ordinary person, the game wouldn’t specifically set up a storyline just for her.”
Bai Yan contemplated further, “Is this old lady a ghost or an NPC that knows valuable information?”
After considering for more or less 20 seconds, Bai Yan decided to not care about the old lady’s true identity. He was determined to warm-heartedly help this old lady out.
After a while, Bai Yan had finally helped the old person up until she was standing.
