Chapter 61 - 61 Another Closed Beta Player

61 Another Closed Beta Player

“Yaya!”

At that moment, the Turtle in his arms let out a cry and interrupted Su Ming’s thoughts.

He lowered his head and saw that this Turtle was looking at him curiously as if he was thinking about something.

Su Ming smiled and patted the head of the Turtle in his arms. He said, “You don’t have to think about what I’m thinking.”

!!

After a short pause, Su Ming remembered the perverted water storage ability of the Turtle that he had seen in the afternoon.

“By the way, how did your tiny body store so much water?”

When Benben Turtle heard this, it pointed at its own stomach while yelping and drawing a circle in the air.

Due to their shared thoughts, Su Ming could roughly understand what it meant.

What it meant was that there was a space in its stomach for water storage, and it could store a lot of water.

However, it was not sure how much it could store.

Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

In other words, the water that this Turtle burped out in the afternoon was not the limit of its body’s storage capacity?

If that was the case, then this Turtle’s water storage capacity would be very useful.

For example, it could build water channels and moats for its future cities.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows in slight excitement and patted the Turtle on its shoulder. “Then from now on, I’ll make you my navy general!”

“Ya!”

The Turtle tilted its head and looked at Su Ming with a slightly confused expression as if it did not quite understand what the general of the water route meant.

However, when it saw Su Ming laughing, it laughed as well, and its small eyes narrowed into a line.

The night was quiet and beautiful.

Time passed quietly.

The next morning, Da Bai had finally recovered his energy after a night’s rest.

Once Su Ming had rested enough, he carried the Turtle in his arms and sat on Da Bai’s back. The two of them continued on their way to their destination.

However, just as Su Ming was about to follow the path he had set for himself and head toward the magnetic stone mine…

As soon as he opened the map, something on it caught his attention.

Su Ming quirked his eyebrows and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

‘Another inner player?’

On the map, there was a player’s icon that was moving about 30 kilometers away from him.

Chen Yixue was still in the Barbarian tribe, trying her best to do a cultural invasion. This person could not be her.

Many thoughts ran through Su Ming’s mind. After weighing the pros and cons, he had Da Bai change its direction.

In his previous life, every closed beta player had become a powerhouse that could shake the world.

Even though Su Ming had a greater advantage than them, it would not be a bad thing if he could recruit a few more inner players at the beginning of the game.

Da Bai was traveling at a very fast speed, and it did not take long for him to arrive near the player that was indicated on the map.

As he looked at the complicated terrain of the forest before him, a faint hint of helplessness flashed in Su Ming’s eyes.

Su Ming shook his head and decided to wait outside the forest for the person to come out on his own.

After observing the person’s movements on the map for a while, Su Ming chose the final destination of his route.

Not long after, the forest in front of them was pulled apart.

Then, a face covered in dirt appeared before Su Ming.

Their eyes met, and the person in front of him was obviously stunned for a moment, unable to react for a long time.

The person who came was a man with an ordinary appearance. The equipment he was wearing was much better than the first time Su Ming had met Chen Yixue.

Of course, he was definitely not as good as the current Chen Yixue.

The name above his head was ‘Loner’.

Su Ming cast him a glance. Just as he was about to say something, an angry Tiger’s roar came from the forest behind the man.

Loner was stunned for a moment, then immediately panicked and ran toward Su Ming. At the same time, he shouted, “Run! That’s a Tiger!”

Su Ming cast a glance at Loner, who was running like a stray dog, and shook his head in slight resignation. He did not move.

When the solo traveler saw Su Ming riding on Da Bai and holding Benben Turtle in his arms, he was instantly stunned.

At the same time, countless complicated thoughts flashed through his mind.

‘Who was this person? Why was he so pretentious? He didn’t look like a player. His equipment and mount were too luxurious, right?’

‘If he was not players, could they be NPCs? I can’t see his ID either.’

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously stopped in his tracks.

Then, right at that moment, the forest in front of Su Ming split open once again, and a ferocious Tiger appeared before the crowd.

The Tiger obviously did not expect to suddenly face so many people after coming out of the jungle.

It was also clearly dazed for a moment before it turned to look at Da Bai.

Da Bai’s head was held high in the air as he looked down on the little Tiger, as if he were a noble king looking down on his subjects.

The Tiger, who had just emerged from the forest, was stunned when it saw this. Immediately after, a very human-like fear appeared in its eyes.

Then, under the astonished gaze of the solo participant, it slowly retreated.

Step by step, it slowly sneaked into the forest again, and its figure was no longer seen.

Loner’s mouth was wide open. He looked at the smug-looking Da Bai, then at Su Ming, who was on top of Da Bai. For a moment, he could not say a word.

He scratched his head, then moved closer to Su Ming’s side instinctively and asked tentatively, “Big brother?”

Su Ming cast him a glance and did not speak.

However, when he saw that Su Ming did not speak, Loner let out a sigh of relief and mumbled softly, “As expected of an NPC, it doesn’t seem to have a high IQ. Let’s see if we can get some missions from him.”

Su Ming shook his head helplessly and maintained his cool. He turned his gaze to Loner and said, “What’s your name?”

Loner was stunned for a moment, then he quickly followed the etiquette he had learned in the game and bowed to Su Ming.

“Dear Sir, how are you? I’m called Loner.”

Su Ming nodded. “And why were you chased by the Tiger?”

Su Ming did not ask this question because he wanted to perfect his identity as an NPC, but because he was really curious about this question.

When he saw the Tiger coming out of the forest, he had already reacted.

When he first discovered him on the map, why did he see Loner constantly moving?

It turned out that this kid had provoked a Tiger and was being chased for a long time.
