NPC into Player: Let's Wreck This Game

Chapter 137: The Fourth Sister

Bloom watched him and just laughed. "Alright, you will go back now and come out when I ask you for," he held their tokens one by one as he said these words while sending them back.

He stored the tokens after closing the black market interface. Right now he didn't need any seeds to cover up his trails. "This might serve me well in the future."

He just wanted to remove any possible suspicion if anyone linked between his token summoned by Bloom and Sunny. So, he just wanted to use the smoke coming out from these tokens to make sure there was a difference.

"Now everything is settled," Bloom muttered to himself before turning towards the NPC, who seemed troubled by the revelation he just had.

"C'mon, I'm ready to move," Bloom said before pointing to the shield, "how can I break this?"

"You need to complete phase one first before being able to break this shield," the NPC said.

"Alright, tell me what is this phase one."

"You need to find a treasure box, not far from here. It's guarded by special types of monsters. You need to take what's inside that box and don't be killed."

The moment Bloom heard these words, he recalled the strange, strong looking group of monsters guarding that treasure box.

"Have you met them already? Have you died at their hands?" The NPC noticed the change in Bloom's face before adding, "if you fought and were killed under their claws, then you will lose this quest," and he was quite nervous, thinking the dark horse he betted on turned out to be a loser.

"I've met them, but I didn't fight them," Bloom said before turning to glance at the NPC in a weird manner, "who was the psycho to make this test like this? Who is crazy enough to deal with these strange monsters?!"

"Pft," and the NPC laughed, bitterly saying, "I know, this test was put to I wouldn't get any help and would be lost forever."

Bloom started to confirm his own guess. 'So in the past no one managed to free me and I was turned into raw data, sigh!' he inwardly sighed while glancing at the current NPC Bloom, picturing himself in his past life standing here looking for someone to help.

'Despite changing games, my fate was never in my hands! If I wanted to be sure not to end like this again, I had to be stronger; far stronger and much wealthier than anyone else!'

He vowed, and the NPC in front of him didn't know what he was thinking about. "Will you go then or not?" he asked, "there is no other way to break this shield except through what's inside the box."

"What will you do to help me?" Bloom didn't hurry to reply, as he asked about the role of the NPC in all this.

"I won't interfere until you prove your worth," and the NPC said, meaning that he wouldn't take the role in the first phase.

"That means I have to take that chest alone?" he muttered while recalling the strong looking monsters. "Can you at least tell me any info regarding these monsters? anything that might help!"

The NPC glanced at him for a moment before saying:

"You need first to accept phase one."

"Idiot! I already accepted the general quest, so taking phase one is out of the question here!" Bloom reprimanded the surprised NPC by his tone. "Just answer my question," he added while he received a notification from the system.

"System alert: Someone is trying to open the hatch of the game capsule. Please log out as soon as possible."

He knew who was doing this, and so he had to hear the answer from that NPC before exiting the game.

"They have two absolute skills, can generate Hp even during a fight, and when attacking, they all attack the target until he is dead."

"Or run away, right?" Bloom added, correcting the lousy telling of the NPC.

"No, they won't let any target run away!" but the error Bloom thought turned out to be a feature.

"That's nice," Bloom said with a grin, "wait here, I will do something and come back."

Before the NPC could speak again, Bloom already logged off the game and started to push the capsule cover away.

And the face of Antoan was the one that appeared in front of his eyes.

"Tell me you have good news," Bloom moved out of the capsule while waiting for his butler to respond.

"I have investigated through the background of those who came here," Antoan said before adding, "it's as you expected; all are minions for Dockrey."

Bloom's face didn't change as he already was sure of that. He gestured to him to continue, and he added: "As for shielding the username of Bloom, I have contacted someone and it has been taken care of."

"Really?" Bloom smiled as Antoan nodded. "Good, I want to take part of the money and try to uncover the identity of Bloom through other routes."

The face of Antoan changed, "but" yet he didn't continue his argument, knowing what Bloom was thinking of.

"Losing money is much easier than losing life, right?" Bloom said and Antoan just sighed. "You are absolutely right," he then took out a screen and touched some buttons on it for a moment. It was like his personal note, and he left an order to his followers.

"In less than two days we will know the results," he put the screen under his armpit before adding, "now about the group you recommended"

His face showed tension, and Bloom realized what he pumped into. "Couldn't locate them? Or couldn't locate the behind the scenes girl?" he asked.

"Well" yet his butler's face showed a disturbed expression, "this one is hard to touch," he finally confessed.

"Hard to touch?!! That's impossible! Why do you say that?" Bloom asked, trying to get to the heart of this matter. "Have you found it here?"

"Yes, I have. But"

"But what?"

"She hides in a place you can't go."

Boom glanced at his butler for a moment before laughing, "Is she in the afterlife?"

"No, but that place you can't simply go there."

Bloom became more curious as he asked: "Give me the reason, hurry I have a quest running and can't waste much time here."

"She lives with the miss."

"What miss?"

"Miss Natalie!"

Bloom didn't get the point until a few moments later. His eyes went wide as he glanced in a serious manner to his butler. "Are you sure?" he asked.

"Pretty sure, the fourth petal of the cyan studio and the miss are very close friends," Antoan said, before adding, "last reports said that she is living with the miss since the beginning of the game."

Bloom took a moment there to link the dots. "So Jeffrey and others aren't hers," he muttered. "Leave this matter to me then," he smiled, confidently knowing what to do.

"But it's said in the challenge to not disturb miss at all," Antoan said, but Bloom wasn't fazed by these words. "Don't tell me Dockrey didn't visit her from time to time," he laughed as he expected what that arrogant youth would do when he was feeling much confidence about his odds.

He wouldn't hesitate to bother Nara from time to time.

"Well, he has already visited her once during the past twenty four hours."

"Oh, during these hours," the eyes of Bloom shone before he added, "that explains much then," he nodded as he added, "have you gathered up your men? Are you ready to enter the game?"

The face of Antoan changed the moment Bloom mentioned the game and his order to enter it and play there. "Well, can we discuss this later?" he said, trying to stall for time, hoping to find a way out.

"C'mon, don't freak out like a chicken! It's a game! If you missed this time, then your addition there will be in vain," Bloom shook his head in helplessness.

"That would be for the better," Antoan subconsciously remarked, yet he hurried to add when he noticed the glaring eyes of Bloom, "but I will make sure to attend there soon."

He held the screen he had before adding, "I still have to do something about this task, right?"

"Two days then," Bloom said before adding, "if by then you didn't enter the game, I swear I will look for another guard than you!"

Antoan was shocked to hear these words. "But"

"There is room for debate," Bloom said before turning to the game capsule, "I need you in the game, and the situation there is way better than what you think. If you don't come to aid me, I will be forced to find someone else to help," he then paused before closing the hatch of the capsule, "my secrets can't be with many; either you enter and continue to be my right hand man, or I will be forced to find another hand."

He then closed the capsule and entered the game, while his mind was still thinking about the identity of the fourth sister. "That's why it was said it took over a year for the fourth sister to be found."
