NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 284: The Neturaliez Master

He didn't have to wait for long before Sharel answered.

'In normal way? Of course not, but there are gears for everything here,' she said before adding, 'Don't tell me you have a way to obscure your identity.'

'I have and it's not working,' he said.

'Oh, sorry to hear this dear,' she paused for a moment before adding, 'I've just tried to investigate your identity using the most common way your ID is Dockrey the fool now?'

He couldn't help but smile. 'See the man I'm after isn't simple. You saw it yourself, he has a very meticulous mind and a suspicious nature. For me I won't be bothered by this anymore after your words.

But I'm asking if we are speaking about that man, the same one who made two vaults as a decoy and hid his treasures somewhere else I don't know of yet, would that man use the normal gears? Would he discover my identity and screw the operation?'

'This' Sharel stopped there for a few seconds, 'gimme a minute, my boss will try to investigate you using one of his supreme gears.'

'Thanks.'

Bloom waited, and to be honest he was very nervous like a thief was about to get caught literally he was that thief during these couple of minutes.

'My boss says your ID is well hidden,' Sharel sent, 'even his gears can't detect yours except for Dockrey the fool. He is even curious about your gear or way to hide your ID and is willing to pay whatever you want for that info.'

'Say thanks to her,' Bloom smiled, 'and tell her I can't show this gear to anyone I hope she can understand.'

'Oh is it in a private place then?' Sharel sent and Bloom hardly managed to contain his laughter. 'Alright, now as you know you are totally safe she asks again about the silly reason you thought someone would expose such excellent gear of yours.'

'It's complicated,' he sent while didn't know what to say, 'but a girl I'm dating with another ID just walked straight to me and spoke about my other identity as if she already knew.'

'A playboy and a bad boy then? That's an interesting mix,' Sharel sent and he bet she was now laughing sweetly like before. 'My boss tells you that it isn't a gear, but a special ability some people have.'

'Ability?' Bloom asked in doubt, 'do you mean people with certain skills can discover my identity?'

'Not skills, it's abilities,' Sharel sent, 'It's like someone being born with a blessed eye that can see through anything.'

'You mean my girl has this ability?'

'Definitely,' Sharel instantly answered, 'it's the only explanation here, and even my boss agreed with me.'

'This is bad!'

'Why? Don't tell me you plan to hide your identity from her for so long.'

'It's not that,' Bloom sighed, 'it's because the man I'm after is her direct uncle.'

'Oh boy' Sharel sent before pausing for a long minute, 'gimme more time and don't do anything until I give you the go.'

'What are you going to do?'

'My boss is already investigating that man of yours and now she is more curious about him. So she is asking you to wait until she confirms everything about him first.'

'Confirm?' Bloom was surprised by this word.

'She has her own ways to do that.'

Bloom could only wait and do nothing while all others around him kept chatting with each other and getting to know each other. Some were already familiar with each other, and some were even friends.

Yet there were some groups who totally avoided any contact with each other and that attracted Bloom's attention in no time.

'They are enemies,' he thought, 'there are only known enemies to me that whenever they go they would jump at each other's necks the shrines.'

His eyes shone brightly before he recalled the system alerts he totally ignored during the past half an hour.

And when he checked them, he couldn't help but bitterly smile.

"System alert: There are twenty-three members of the shrine of death in your vicinity."

"System alert: There are Thirty-two members of the shrine of life in your vicinity."

"System alert: There are fifty-eight members of the shrine of angels in your vicinity."

"System alert: There are thirteen members of the shrine of wealth in your vicinity."

"System alert: player has four shrine members around, if he managed to complete the quests regarding shrines against two or more then he would have more rewards."

"System alert: player has the eyes of the Neturaliez focused over him right now. If player managed to pull such a grand performance here then he would gain more rewards from the Neturaliez."

"It's her!" Bloom couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate. Despite meeting her only once, yet he was very desperate to meet her again.

He once met her when he was trying to screw Gerard's quest. There she showed him the four flying swords skill that he currently uses.

Since that mysterious incident he had before and that skill suddenly was implemented inside his mind. He could use it even in the real world and up till this moment he didn't have a way to get in touch with her.

"Damn! This quest is getting more weight than it should be!!" he couldn't help but shake his head, "I can't retreat now even if that man can discover my identity then I have to continue no matter what."

This sudden realization changed the rules of the game entirely. He knew he couldn't let this chance slip off his hands especially when he didn't know if he would gain such a rare chance once again.

Bloom started to shift his gaze towards that uncle and he was feeling more challenged at the moment by this quest. "I'll crush you bastard just wait there," he clenched his fists before opening his chat with Sharel.

'I want something to augment the effect of my disguise gear.'
