How should an overly smart NPC be dealt with?

As mentioned before, players first thought would be to directly kill the NPC so that they could continue dealing with a group of stupid NPCs.

Gu Nan did the same. If he had a chance, he really didnt mind killing Gu Nian, but the latter proved that it truly wouldnt be easy to kill her.

Although she had just entered Prodigious Realm and was still in Origin Stage, the law of duality was strange enough for all kinds of wondrous applications to be derived from it.

This law alone was enough for her to fight against ordinary Infinitesimal Stage experts.

But unfortunately, Gu Nan was a veteran who had gone through hundreds of battles. The enemies he once faced far surpassed Gu Nian by countless levels.

Just when Gu Nian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a pitch-black figure slowly emerged from her shadow, then moved suddenly and fiercely stabbed her in the heart with a sword.

The shadow sword pierced the girls heart and completely deprived her of her vitality.

Gu Nian looked at Gu Nan with a startled look. She didnt seem to believe that he would really kill her. Her body fell slowly.

Stop pretending. Gu Nan said calmly, For every action, theres a mutually opposing force. Life and death are also mutual. An attack that missed the focal point cannot kill you.

Gu Nans voice echoed in the air. Gu Nians corpse on the ground gradually dissipated, and a new Gu Nian walked out slowly from the side.

You seem to know a lot about me? Gu Nians eyes were curious.

Gu Nan was noncommittal. I just know this world very well.

He had seen many characteristics of the law of duality in his previous life. As for resurrection, that wasnt such a big deal in the game.

Gu Nan wasnt completely helpless against this power, but the emergence of this power made him truly interested in Gu Nian.

Certain difficult matters could be handed over to her in the future.

So Gu Nan stopped and took a look at Shi Miaoer, who had died a violent death.

A strange smile hung from the corners of his mouth. Now, its time for us to discuss the conditions.

What conditions? Gu Nian secretly sighed in relief, but her voice was still calm.

The power of shadows was indeed extraordinary. It was more mysterious and unpredictable than all the powers she had seen before. If Gu Nan still didnt stop, then she didnt know who the winner would be.

Her resurrection wasnt unlimited.

The Martial Arts CompetitionI want to take charge completely. There was no trace of any smile on Gu Nans face. If Gu Nian didnt agree to this condition, he would attack immediately.

Players were a group of extremely pragmatic people. Someone used him? Gu Nan didnt care.

Werent players used by NPCs every time they completed in-game missions for NPCs? But any NPC who dared to interfere with his mission must be hacked to death without any room for negotiation.

So this time, he didnt mind acting as the vanguard for the Gu family on the condition that the Martial Arts Competition be handed over to him.

Gu Nians hair rose on end from Gu Nans stare. She could only promise, Okay What do you plan to do?

Destroying the Long family was naturally the top priority, but the Martial Arts Competition was also the Gu familys next main project. She couldnt allow Gu Nan to mess it up.

How could Gu Nan know of the chain events final objective right now? He shook his head and replied, Youll know later.

When Gu Nan returned to the Gu family, the Lu sisters were still waiting.

Lu Zhanyu still pretended not to know him, while Lu Xinyus gaze was a little odd. Bai Luoluo sat beside them with wide, innocent eyes.

Although I dont know what method you used to Mm, to treat her. For once, Lu Xinyus expression looked slightly dark. I hope you can try a sunnier method next time.

For example?

For example, when I ask what her dream is, I hope that she wont say she wants to be an assassin queen, Lu Xinyu answered expressionlessly.

Oh, isnt that also quite nice? Gu Nan said after thinking for a while.

You

Lu Zhanyu quickly mediated, Sister, I think we should stay for a while and help Bai Luoluo sort things out.

It had to be said that Lu Zhanyus words were precisely what Lu Xinyu wanted, so she nodded immediately.

After the two left, Lu Zhanyu didnt enter Gu Nans room again until the middle of the night.

Tell me about the mission. Gu Nan naturally didnt sleep. When Lu Zhanyu came, he asked, By the way, I dont have much time. How much faster does time pass in that world?

Lu Zhanyu explained the mission using the fastest possible speed. In fact, it wasnt complicated. It sounded like an ordinary bodyguard mission.

Different from the tower defense type of mission when they protected the White Dew Goddess, this mission was more like the Azure City mission Gu Nan had seen before. Its objective was to protect a target NPC.

It was a little troublesome that Gu Nan had never seen this mission before in his previous life.

But then Lu Zhanyu told Gu Nan about an unexpected trouble.

Time passes ten times faster in that world But the time node when the mission starts is tomorrow night, Lu Zhanyu said calmly.

It was impossible for relatively large planes to be resettable, so they only had one chance at clearing the mission. Thus, the plane coordinates would only appear during the missions specified time node.

Gu Nan calculated in his heart. If he entered tomorrow, it would be too late

The Martial Arts Competition is Hm? No wait, I have the final say on the start date of the Martial Arts Competition now!

Early the next morning, Gu Nan had a restful sleep, but the rest of the Gu family was still busy.

Yesterdays encirclement and annihilation of the Long family wasnt very successful. After all, there were four Prodigious experts in the Long family. Besides the Long familys Sixth Uncle, who died at Gu Nans hands, there were still three more.

And unfortunately, all three escaped last night.

Before catching or killing these three people, the Gu family wouldnt dare to truly kill the Long familys forces, or else these three would let go of everything and become assassins without scruples to assassinate the Gu familys higher-ups one by one.

In the end, it was trouble caused by Gu Nans decisiveness.

No one expected that not only did Gu Nan kill Long Quan, but he even killed the Long familys Sixth Uncle. The fall of a Prodigious Realm elder had already escalated the feud to an irreversible level, forcing the Gu family to take action earlier than planned.

It was precisely their lack of preparation that allowed the three Prodigious cultivators to escape.

What? You want to postpone the Martial Arts Competition? Gu Xingzhu looked at Gu Nan in front of him and felt like her head was about to burst.

He actually wants to cause more trouble in such a tense situation. Does he really think

How long do you want to delay it for? Gu Nian was calmer.

At least three days. The specific time will be decided after my return, Gu Nan wasnt polite at all and spoke in a commanding tone.

The veins on Gu Xingzhus forehead jumped violently, and even her breathing quickened. Does this person actually know how important the Martial Arts Competition is to the Gu family?

All of Ruby Fish Stars martial artists are looking forward to this annual event. But you actually

Okay.

Eldest Miss?! Gu Xingzhu felt that this world was going crazy.

Gu Nan nodded with satisfaction and left, but Gu Xingzhu couldnt help stopping Gu Nian to ask, Eldest Miss, how can you go along with his insanity?

Gu Nian smiled silently. Unless you want him to crash the event, everything about the Martial Arts Competition will have to follow his instructions.

Why? Gu Xingzhu couldnt accept it at all. It was clearly a competition they worked hard to prepare, so why should they hand it over to Gu Nan just like that?

Gu Nian looked at her seriously. I can guarantee that if you dont listen to him, this Martial Arts Competition wont be able to continue.

Gu Nian was right. Although the two sides only had an oral agreement, Gu Nan was confident.

If he returned and found that the Martial Arts Competition had begun Then he would most certainly start killing on the spot.

Although the Gu family benefitted the most from the Long familys destruction, it wasnt like Gu Nan didnt reap any benefits from thisat the very least, he proved to everyone that he, Gu Nan, was an Infinitesimal Stage powerhouse and one of the most powerful people on this planet.

In other words, he was now qualified to negotiate with any organization and had become a genuine big shot.

But right now, this big shot was currently lurking in the shadows in front of a low bungalow, silently spying on a young girls martial arts practice.

Student Lin Yunyun was entirely unaware of this. As usual, she woke up early and did morning exercises. She endured the pain day after day and honed her internal energy.

Perhaps Gu Nan had brought her bad luck, because today was obviously not a good day. Not far away, a group of people with ill intentions were quickly approaching the bungalow.
