Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

The person who came was indeed NPC Xiaoyun.

But this girl's dress made Lin Chen feel different. Her daily clothes were mainly for the convenience of "forging iron". As a blacksmith and equipment enhancer similar to a blacksmith, Xiaoyun only dressed simply, occasionally wearing a blacksmith's apron, and then a pair of smart and slender trousers.

But what she was wearing now... was actually a very obvious [Leather Armor] suit.

Although it looked heroic, Lin Chen was puzzled... This was clearly a player's equipment, so why was it worn by Xiaoyun? Could it be some kind of change in the Land of the Hunting God? I hadn't heard the pioneers mention it...

The girl had her hands behind her back, holding the extremely long sword in her hand.

Seeing Xiaoyun looking at him, Lin Chen subconsciously looked back. After confirming that there was no Xiaoyun's stall behind him and no one was there, Lin Chen turned his head and looked at her again.

It seems like he came here specifically to find him?

Elena beside her still had a faint smile on her face. She looked at Lin Chen beside her, then looked at Xiaoyun opposite her with a complicated expression. She took the initiative to speak and break the atmosphere.

"Sister Xiaoyun, what a coincidence."

Hearing Elena's words, Xiaoyun also forced a smile. She said to Elena, "Elena...Sister, can I have a few words with your husband alone?"

"Well...okay." Elena let go of Lin Chen's arm and patted Lin Chen's shoulder.

Lin Chen subconsciously grabbed Elena's hand.

The female elf blinked at Lin Chen, then pushed Lin Chen towards Xiaoyun.

"What are you doing?" Lin Chen lowered his voice.

"They obviously have something to talk to you about. We are all so familiar with each other, so it's okay to go and chat. I won't be jealous."

"This isn't a matter of jealousy, I..."

"The girl can actually ask you to talk alone in front of me, and you're still shy. Go quickly, come home after you're done, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Can……"

Elena suddenly leaned close to Lin Chen's ear and lowered her voice: "I bought stockings at the Guixu store."

"Got it, I'll be back as soon as possible!"

Lin Chen walked up to Xiaoyun with a strange look on his face.

When I turned around again, Elena had disappeared.

Scratching his head, Lin Chen felt a little embarrassed.

If it were before, Lin Chen might not have thought too much about it. After all, it was very natural for Lin Chen and this girl to get along with each other in the Land of Hunting God. It can be said that in two lives combined, the NPC that Lin Chen is most familiar with is Xiaoyun.

But ever since hearing Elena say that Xiaoyun liked him, Lin Chen felt a little uncomfortable.

He himself is a person who doesn't like to be involved in emotional entanglements. After all, his relationship with Zhao Yuting on Earth was messed up because of this mess. Now that he and Elena are married, he should avoid suspicion even more.

"Long time no see!" Lin Chen finally spoke first after holding it in for a long time.

However, Xiaoyun didn't answer directly. Instead, he pointed to a bench not far away and said, "Let's sit down and chat?"

"Oh, okay." Lin Chen responded.

The two of them sat on a bench. Originally, there were many players in the entire Eternal Skyspace, but because the wedding two days ago had caused such a big commotion, many players had left this high-level main city intentionally or unintentionally. No one knew whether another gap would appear on the top of this main city, or whether those things called [Ruins] would come out.

Before figuring out what those things were, players avoided this place.

This made the streets of the Eternal Skyspace, which were once bustling with people, become deserted. In addition, the city was floating in the clouds and was surrounded by mist, making it seem even quieter.

Lin Chen and Xiao Yun sat on the two ends of the bench, one on the left and one on the right. Xiao Yun placed the sword on her thigh. Her slender fingertips scratched the sword, then she looked at Lin Chen with a smile.

"Thank you."

Lin Chen was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Thank you for sending someone to protect me. If it weren't for the assassin named Altaïr, I might have been killed by Xu."

Lin Chen was shocked: "Is this true?"

He knew that Artair went specifically to protect Xiaoyun, but he didn't know that Xiaoyun would actually be in danger. Somehow, Lin Chen felt a little scared. Now that he saw this girl was safe and sound, Lin Chen actually felt like he had survived a disaster.

"Yes...I came to you today mainly to thank you."

"Uh..." Lin Chen opened his mouth and then fell silent.

After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and chose to tell the truth: "Actually, Altaïr... was arranged by Irina."

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere between the two of them froze again.

During this time, Lin Chen carefully glanced at Xiaoyun beside him. Even though there was fog around, Lin Chen could still see the girl's expression.

She seemed a little cold. Xiaoyun had changed since the last time they met. She was no longer the cool girl who ignored the players. Instead, she was silent and her face didn't seem to express much emotion.

Her change should have nothing to do with me... Lin Chen thought so.

"Then, tell Sister Elena thank you for me. I owe her my life."

"Don't say that, it's too polite." Lin Chen shook his hand quickly.

"We still have to be polite, after all, we are not very familiar with each other." Xiaoyun blurted out.

“…” Lin Chen opened his mouth, but didn’t know how to continue speaking.

After another silence, Xiaoyun suddenly stood up from the bench and smiled at Lin Chen.

"Hey, programmer."

Lin Chen responded subconsciously: "Ah?"

"What's your name?" Xiaoyun asked.

Lin Chen blinked: "Didn't I tell you my name? Why do I remember saying it...?"

But Xiaoyun did not answer, just looked at him silently.

Lin Chen cleared his throat somewhat unnaturally: "My name is Lin Chen."

"Lin Chen." Xiaoyun said softly.

Then, she suddenly revealed the playful look that Lin Chen was very familiar with before, and smiled heartlessly: "Lin Chen, from today on, I am also a player. If we are destined to meet again in a dungeon!"

As he spoke, Xiaoyun shook the sword in his hand.

Lin Chen stood up in disbelief: "What did you say? Aren't you an NPC?"

"Yeah, have you forgotten that I was also a player before I became an NPC?"

"What is going on? Can you switch your identity?" Lin Chen was shocked.

Could Xiaoyun be able to switch between being a player or an NPC at any time and anywhere? It felt incredibly strange no matter how I thought about it.

"No." Xiaoyun shook his head: "I can't be an NPC anymore. I will always be a player until the Hunting God Land shuts down."

As she spoke, Xiaoyun extended her hand towards Lin Chen in a very formal manner: "Formally introduce myself. My name is Xiaoyun, and I'm currently a level 66 [Sword Saint] (Second Rank Swordsman)."

"level 66?"

Lin Chen was stunned again.

Xiaoyun, who became a player from an NPC, actually reached the highest level right from the start?

What on earth is going on!
