914 A Letter

Who would have thought that Ally did not fear Wang Yu's sudden act of aggression but gently pushed his hand aside.

"You would not dare to kill me!" Ally peered into Wang Yu's eyes as she said calmly.

"…" Wang Yu reluctantly let go of his hand that was gripping on Ally's neck.

Wang Yu could kill easily kill Ally with the swipe of his hand but he was all talk after all. He dared not actually kill her.

NPCs were different from players. A background NPC like Ally was considered to be a common civilian. Once such an NPC was killed, they could not be resurrected.

Wang Yu dared to kill players because he had sufficient reputation points to cover his indiscretions. However, these reputation points were useless when he came to common civilians.

This was because NPCs and players were simply two different entities. It was akin to the real world whereby no matter how many other robots a single robot kills, he would still be redeemed from his crimes as long as the robot has sufficient contributions. However, if this single robot crosses the line and attacks a human, it will definitely be put down.

Wang Yu was not clear on the exact consequences of killing civilians but the last player who dared to do so had been blacklisted by the three hundred main cities. The player has not dared to go online ever since.

Wang Yu also possessed a hallowed and respected identity in Twilight City. Even if he could fight, he dared not take such a risk… He would jeopardise everything in the game if he did so.

"But you also dare not shout loudly." Wang Yu smiled cautiously.

Ally was surprised at his claim, "Why do you think so?"

Wang Yu continued, "We are here to complete the trial."

Ally did not continue speaking; she glanced over at the stone bench behind her and gestured over to Wang Yu, "Sit down and talk."

"…"

Upon seeing that Ally did not take the opportunity to shout for help, the ladies were all taken aback—even Wang Yu displayed an amazed expression. He privately asked Fearless, "F*ck, how did you know she would not dare to shout?"

It was Fearless who directed Wang Yu to say those words to Ally.

Fearless replied, "When we first walked into the backyard, she did not make a fuss at all. She is probably hiding something. Go and see what she wants."

"Alright!"

Wang Yu closed the chat and went up and sat down on the stone bench.

Ally eyeballed Wang Yu and asked Wang Yu expectantly, "You are a Divine Craftsman?"

"That's right!" Wang Yu nodded.

Wang Yu really held the title of Divine Craftsman… Although players could not see each other's title as long as the player does not want to show, NPCs could see all the players' titles.

"So you coming here is because of Simba's instructions?" Ally casually replied to Wang Yu. Her voice was inexplicably trembling when she mentioned Simba.

"???!!!! What is the meaning of this?"

Upon hearing Ally's words, the guild chat channels exploded into a flurry of activity as people started gossiping.

"This woman seems to have something going on with Divine Craftsman Simba," Wang Yu shared his thoughts about the matter openly.

"Wow, what is going on! To think we have some unexpected rewards! Old Bull, see if you can get any more information out of her." Everyone clenched their fists excitedly.

"Hm!" Wang Yu nodded back to Ally but with a hint of reluctance.

"Sigh!" Ally heaved a sigh and murmured, "After so many years, he is still the same. I shall trouble you to pass him this letter."

Ally continued sighing and took out a delicate-looking letter… Even though Wang Yu did not experience a student-life phase, as long as one was not a fool, he would definitely guess that it was a love letter.

When he saw the system notification, Wang Yu understood that it was his title of Divine Craftsman that triggered this quest.

"This, fine, I accept." Glancing at the system notification, Wang Yu was still hesitant and did not want to accept the quest. However, he eventually relented and accepted the letter.

After all, all the quest wanted was for him to deliver a letter, not asking him to be a pimp.

There was no quest grade or even an introduction. It seemed that this was really a simple delivery quest.

As soon as Wang Yu received the letter, the City Lord came walking into the room.

"Ally, who were you talking to?" The City Lord saw the group of people in the yard and asked cautiously.

"I wasn't talking to anyone. These people are here to apply as a maid." As Ally spoke, she quickly batted her eyes at Wang Yu.

Wang Yu got the hint quickly put the letter into his bag.

"Maid?" The City Lord eyed Wang Yu suspiciously and his face drained of color. He spoke sternly, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

Wang Yu had a strange feeling about the City Lord's attitude. Whenever the City Lord met Wang Yu in the past, Wang Yu was always greeted with a courteous and polite attitude. Did he already know that he was being cuckolded by his wife?

"It's me indeed. I was just taking a stroll around." Wang Yu had a full head of sweat as he answered. It was not easy for an honest man to lie.

"Hmph!" The City Lord snorted, "There is nothing to see here, leave at once."

Following that, the City Lord's gaze towards the ladies who were at a corner.

"Maid…" The City Lord surveyed the girls and pointed at Fearless, saying, "I think that girl is pretty good; she should stay."

"Pu…!!!" Fearless vomited blood secretly and cursed his fate, "Why did you let me stay?"

"Because you are the most beautiful!" The City Lord's reply was straightforward and domineering. He had no consideration for Ally's feelings. After saying his piece, he headed straight back into the house.

Looking at the trailing figure of the City Lord, the ladies harboured bitterness in their hearts. To think that they would lose out in appearance to a man.

Fearless was even more bitter in his heart. Another man happened to find him attractive… What was he to make of this?"

Wang Yu patted his shoulder in consolation, "Don't be afraid. This is a golden opportunity for you to get close to the City Lord!"

Fearless's tears filled the rims of his eyes, "You know I don't want to do this. Why don't you go in my place?"

"But I don't look as good as you." Wang Yu chuckled.

"Don't give up ah, Fearless." Ling Longmeng and the rest cheered Fearless on.

"You bunch of trash!" Fearless gave a middle finger to them and held his hand out towards Wang Yu, "Give me the letter."

"What do you want with the letter?" Wang Yu muttered and passed him.

Fearless took the letter and confronted Ally, "Tell me where the City Lord's seal is hidden or I will pass this letter over to the City Lord."

"You, you guys!"

Fearless' sudden act of provocation stunned Ally. Ally was enraged as she stared at Fearless and Wang Yu and bellowed, "There will be retribution for this."

"I… Fearless, how could you do this?" In the face of Ally's accusation, Wang Yu tried to defend his innocence in the matter.

Wang Yu did not resort to such trickery before. All in all, Simba was still a half mentor to Wang Yu and Wang Yu was uncomfortable at the current state of this situation.

Fearless interjected, "What do you want me to do? Her behaviour is not moral in the first place. I am here to ensure justice is served. As long as she is willing to tell me where the City Lord's seal is, I will turn a blind eye to her misdemeanor. You can also continue to help her send the letter."
