Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 755 - 555 "Real Game"_2
And the only NPCs he was familiar with were the important ones like "Ji Lande," "Nova," and "Fernandi." To him, ordinary NPCs all looked the same and he never bothered to memorize them.
But clearly, the name "Kuang Xin" had provoked further hostility from this five-person squad.
How could someone like you, a pathetic weakling, compare to the succubus-like beauty of Kuang Xin?!
Not to mention Kuang Xin had returned to the soil, anyone standing surely couldn't be Kuang Xin!
"How dare you! Who are you to impersonate our sacred Kuang Xin?!"
Hearing this raggedly clad fellow brazenly impersonating, every guard in the patrol squad was filled with righteous indignation!
Back then, Kuang Xin was so pure and noble, who sacrificed his Spiritual Energy and offered himself to bring back the human heroes from their expedition to the higher-dimensional space when no one else could step forward.
How could we allow his name to be so casually sullied by a nobody, it's a disgrace to the sanctity of the name "Kuang Xin"!
"..." Kuang Xin remained silent.
He didn't know how to prove the absolute dilemma that "Kuang Xin is Kuang Xin."
The squad's vigilance was annoying, but their respect for "the former Kuang Xin" was secretly pleasing to him.
'I didn't expect to have such a high status in these NPCs' hearts,' he thought.
In the end, he could only spread his hands and give up, "But my name is Kuang Xin! Ah! It's no use explaining, just take me to see your squad leader Xu Ruoguang, and I'll talk to him."
Seeing Kuang Xin's grave expression that didn't seem to be faking it, the squad's leading guard cautiously took a step closer, "Is your name really Kuang Xin?"
"Genuine and guaranteed for a replacement if fake," Kuang Xin said, strutting with his chest out high.
"Then I suggest you change your name in the future," the squad leader took a step forward, and clapped Kuang Xin on the shoulder, "Since you want to see our squad leader, I'll take you to him."
At the same time he spoke, other members of the squad stepped forward and began patting down Kuang Xin from behind.
The squad leader explained with a smile, "Don't mind the search, it's a necessary check, otherwise I wouldn't feel safe taking you to our boss."
Xu Ruoguang wasn't a real big shot in Black Street, his status not so exalted that anyone who asked by name to see him couldn't do so.
But the external forces had not only probed Black Street once or twice, and it wasn't impossible for them to send suicidal bombers to swap lives with high-ranking Black Street figures, so necessary security measures had to be in place.
Kuang Xin had no guilty conscience and had the utmost trust in Black Street folks, letting them check him without hesitation.
"Alright!"
Receiving a confirming glance from his team that everything was in order, the squad leader half-coerced, half-led Kuang Xin forward, "Let's go see the squad leader."
Kuang Xin was guided along until he arrived at the familiar office of Xu Ruoguang. Even before they entered, he heard some familiar voices coming from inside.
The squad leader stepped forward to ask, "Squad Leader Xu, we caught someone claiming to be 'Kuang Xin,' and he says he's here to see you."
The voice inside paused for a moment before Xu Ruoguang's voice came through, "Let him come in by himself, and you continue with your duties."
"Yes." The squad leader gave Kuang Xin a push on the back and turned to leave.
Everyone knew the strength of their squad leader, with the person in his grasp, even if heavens fell, they wouldn't be responsible.
Whatever the squad leader said, they naturally followed.
Pushing open the door, Kuang Xin's eyes quickly scanned the several figures in the room.
Xu Ruoguang, Dai, Gu Lan, emmmmm...
Who's the last one?
The back suggested a girl, with hair just reaching the shoulders and a petite frame.
Could it be Yanzi?
But why had her hairstyle changed?
And her figure didn't seem quite right either?
After all the time spent together in the game, he could recognize her in the bustling market of The Lower City at a glance; she shouldn't be unrecognizable when so close.
Or was it… that while he was away, these guys had lured another female player to join their den of thieves?!
The next moment, Kuang Xin found that Guang, Dai, and the others were looking at him with a strange expression, a mix of teasing and envy.
The petite girl slowly turned around, revealing a face that was gentle and endearing. She smiled with her lips pursed, calling out in a slightly hoarse voice, "Dummy~"
"Damn it!" Kuang Xin stood frozen on the spot.
He stared at the girl in front of him, his lips trembling before he managed to stutter out a few words, "You... you... you're Yanzi?!"
"What else?" The corners of the girl's mouth held a slight smile.
Her appearance was not the stunning type that could dazzle with a single glance, yet it seemed to strike right at Kuang Xin's aesthetic preferences.
From the first glance, he felt that being with her must be very comfortable…
"..." Kuang Xin just stood there dumbfounded for a while.
Gong Yan also stood there, allowing him to gaze at her for a while.
It was only when Kuang Xin suddenly remembered an issue, "Why did you also change your appearance?"
Could it be, Yanzi also died?
"Who did this?!" Kuang Xin turned his head and glared angrily at Dai and the others.
How could you let Yanzi die before your very eyes?
Who dared to kill Yanzi?! Aren't you going to avenge her fiercely?
"Dummy~" Gong Yan couldn't help but giggle, her eyes always on Kuang Xin, the corners curving into a gentle crescent, "I died together with you, didn't I? You could only enter the game today, and isn't this my first day in the game too?"
If she died after Kuang Xin, then Kuang Xin, who had just entered the game, wouldn't be able to see her.
Having realized this, Kuang Xin suddenly grinned, "Heh heh," scratching his head cheerfully, he asked, "Why did you follow me, I was just..."
"Because you are my hero, silly!" Gong Yan suddenly interrupted Kuang Xin, her eyes intently fixed on him, pupils brimming with laughter, "I really admire you."
"..."
The girl's straightforward declaration hit Kuang Xin right in the heart, leaving him as if he had lost all ability to speak in an instant.
The complete trust and admiration from a girl with no blood relation was undoubtedly the gentlest poison for a man.
Kuang Xin felt that for the rest of his life, he probably wouldn't be able to pull himself away.
'If I ever make her frown, I'll be a damn beast!' Kuang Xin swore to himself grimly.
Dai Lian couldn't stand this blatant public display of affection. Being in the same team, he too had harbored some thoughts about Gong Yan.
But she had always seemed more inclined towards Kuang Xin.
As a result, he had long since let go of the idea, and now he could only offer his sincere blessings from the bottom of his heart.
But he couldn't continue to be choked by the public displays, "Let's go, I'll take you to see the chief. Our Kuang Xin has saved the whole 'Expeditionary Force.' The chief will surely value you even more this time!"
"Where to meet?"
"Right here. We can't enter the military camp, so we can only wait here for the chief to come."
While waiting for the chief, Kuang Xin wasn't very optimistic about this attempt.
"It's no use, the patrol just now didn't recognize me." Kuang Xin knew their intentions, but he was also aware of the game's limitations, "The chief will definitely ignore me even more."
"The chief is the chief, and the patrol is the patrol. How can you know the outcome without trying?" Although Gu Lan also knew the difficulty, she still tried to offer comfort.
Even though as NPCs, the chief couldn't recognize both of them who had been reborn and changed faces, with the backing of Dai Lian and herself, including Xu Ruoguang, these seasoned organization members, the chief might also see the reborn Kuang Xin and Gong Yan in a different light, right?
Even if they didn't immediately regain their previous positions in the organization, merely starting this "affection leveling" mission by taking one or two tests from the chief was not a bad idea.
After all, it costs nothing, might as well give it a try.
"...Whatever." Kuang Xin let things take their course.
After all, it's just a game, no one is indispensable.
But then he looked at Gong Yan beside him, whispering confidentially, "Yanzi, is this appearance now what you look like in real life?"
