I Am Stuck In A Beta Test For 1000 Years

003

Chapter 3. Ksenja

‘Don’t treat the NPCs as NPCs...’

This was the lesson Char had learned not long after his first beta testing

The NPCs in “Fantasy World” were indeed exactly the same as humans, except that they could not understand terms like “system” and “player”, and that they would be constantly reset by the system.

That was why Ksenja was angry.

Even though Ksenja was a swordswoman with a hot body, she was very pure.

As pure as she was, she was easily deceived by the priest with a few words. After she got pregnant, she lived in the novice village and would continue to live there.

Except for her husband, she always seemed to be polite to others, but in fact, she always kept a distance from them. Once someone tried to approach her, she would serve them with her sword without saying a word.

At the moment, the three players had not jumped out of their usual RPG mindset. At most, they realized that they had to watch their words in front of the NPC, but their eyes and movements were not restrained at all. They were looking at Ksenja’s chest with a perverted look, probably thinking about how to take advantage of her later.

Char laughed in his heart. He carried a rusty iron broadsword from the backyard and leaned it against the wooden block where the clothes basin was placed.

“Thank you~ Stand further away.”

Ksenja gave him a mesmerizing wink and lifted her head.

Even though she had just given birth, her figure did not go out of shape. On the contrary, she looked more mature.

She looked at the three people who were approaching quietly.

“Is it Mrs. Wester? Mr. Wester asked me to send you these flowers. He’s busy taking care of the wounded heroes and has no time to take care of you. If there’s anything we can help you with, please let us know. It’s our honor to serve you.”

The leader probably noticed that the NPC was different from the rest, so he thought about his lines. He wanted to explain his purpose for coming and find a way to trigger the subsequent mission.

To have this kind of awareness as soon as the game started, it was obvious that he had played many games before.

However, his actions were different.

Not only were his eyes darting around, but he was also too close to Ksenja. He brought the flowers to her with both hands, wishing he could stuff his hands into the collar of her sweater.

“He’s so hungry. Haven’t you seen a woman in reality...”

Char chuckled and rushed over to hit the guy with the broadsword before she made a move.

The broadsword that was half the size of a door was like a wild beast that had lost control. It rushed into the crowd, and the three of them immediately dispersed.

5 points of strength were not enough to control this sword, but in “Fantasy World”, as long as you could lift it, you could use it. It just depended on how you performed.

Char was already used to using heavy weapons like this. He put all his strength into maintaining the direction and accuracy and swung it based on inertia.

“What the f*ck?”

The three of them were forced to retreat, and they cursed Char.

Players were not allowed to talk in the game, and neither was Char.

However, Char took action immediately.

He waved his broadsword like a madman and rushed at them again. It looked like he would hit the tree if he was careless, but he was actually very stable. If they were really going to fight a boss in real life, Char would have to think about it. However, against a newbie who was not familiar with “Fantasy World”, even if there were ten of them, they would still be able to fight.

“F*ck! Are you out of your mind? Where did this guy get his weapon?”

The leader did not even have time to care about the flowers. He threw it on the ground and ran away.

The three of them had just logged in, and other than the 50 copper coins in their bags, they had nothing else. Seeing Char’s ferocious aura, they were scared out of their wits.

No one wanted to die a virgin in the novice village. It would be so embarrassing.

After chasing the three of them away, Char snorted and dragged the sword back to the wooden block. Ksenja quickly came over to take the sword.

Char wanted to drag the broadsword, but she picked it up with one hand.

As expected of a swordswoman with 25 points of strength...

“What are you doing? I didn’t ask you to help. You’re so weak...” She grumbled as she looked up and down to see if Char was hurt.

“I can do it myself”

Char smiled shyly, like a shy boy.

“But why?”

“They are brave heroes who have been taken in by the village chief. They are most likely here to do something for the village. If you were to fight with them, what would the others say? It’s probably very difficult for the village chief to handle it, so I’ll handle this kind of thing. If there are any consequences, just let me bear them.”

Ksenja was not stupid, but she hated complicated things like this. She understood what Char meant the moment she said it, and her favorability toward Char increased. However, she still snorted in a disdainful manner and ruffled Char’s hair.

“Ugh... You should be careful. If they dare to bully you, remember to come to find me and Enke.”

Unless there was a major change in favorability, there would be no notification. Furthermore, there was no such thing as madly giving gifts to people so that their favorability would increase to the max in a day. These were all living people!

It was because he was human that he could be moved by words.

Char suddenly broke free from Ksenja’s grasp and took half a step back with a determined attitude.

“Hey... Why are you...”

“Regarding Mr. Wester, I actually have something to tell you.” Char mustered up his courage. “He cheated on you.”

“What?”

Ksenja’s expression froze, but she recovered in an instant. She stared at him warily, as if she was about to draw her sword and cut him.

“Why did you slander my husband?”

Char shook her head. “I didn’t. Since four months ago, he’s been staying out all night. He said he was working in the monastery, but in fact, he was working in the tavern, just in disguise. Miss Sonya from the tavern knows about this, but she won’t tell you the truth. The village head also knew about it, but he chose to help Mr. Wester hide it because he was worried that you would leave the village. After all, there are still monsters around the village.”

Ksenja was silent.

She had actually noticed that something was not right, but her trust in her husband made her choose not to doubt it.

Since Char had presented the evidence to her, she could not help but believe it.

“You...”

“You want to ask me how do I know all this, right? I have a way to prove myself, but not now,” Char explained before Ksenja could speak.

Like the players, he was also a hero who had wandered here. He had stayed in the village for a week and established a friendly relationship with most of the people.

However, evidence had to be created, and Char was just telling the truth to her.

“You want to know my motive, don’t you?” Char spread his hands helplessly. “You should remember that four years ago, you passed by Penthaz Town, which was destroyed by the monsters, right?”

Ksenja nodded. She had never mentioned this to anyone else, and only her husband knew about it in the village.

“The town was wiped out by the monsters. You rescued a thirteen-year-old child from a collapsed house. However, your team was in a hurry at that time, and the kid was seriously injured. You guys had time to leave some food and water before leaving... That was me. I was the kid.”

Ksenja’s eyes widened.

“You... You survived?”

“Yes, I’ve survived.” Char smiled from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, no one knew if the child was still alive or not. He was most likely dead, but Char knew about it, and Ksenja told him about it herself.

After he had completely conquered Ksenja, she would admit that it was the most guilty thing in her life. She would never forget the child’s eyes of hope and despair.

Every time Char pretended to be the kid, Ksenja’s attitude would change.

Of course, this was also a one-time piece of information. It was fine for one person to impersonate the kid, but when the second and third person used the same strategy to try and conquer Ksenja, she would know and probably draw her sword to kill them.

The fates of the characters in the game were intertwined, especially the small characters that no one paid attention to. Sometimes, a sentence or a piece of information was enough to make the favorability of the person drastically change, but unfortunately, most of the clues were not paid attention to. Even if they were paid attention to, they could not be used because of the time span.

However, this was not a problem for Char at all!

Sure enough, after hearing this, Ksenja’s attitude changed drastically. She found it hard to believe, but she believed him because only she and her husband knew about this.

“No, did he spill the beans when he was drunk?” She was still on guard.

“You left three pieces of black bread, two bags of water, and even helped me wipe my face. The bread is yours, the water is for you and Enke. No one else was willing to help, so Enke was the only one who helped. You even told me that everything would get better. With this, I managed to hold on for a week until the rescue team...”

The more details he told her, the less guarded Ksenja became. In the end, her eyes were wet.

A drunk person would not be able to describe such details, but she remembered them clearly!

She reached out with a trembling hand, trying to touch Char’s face.

“I’m sorry. I’m very sorry... I left you behind at that time... I’m sorry...”

Char held her hand and shook her head with a smile.

“No, Miss Ksenja, you don’t have to blame yourself. It’s enough that the Seven Holy Spirits allowed you to transform into an angel and come before me so that I could live, and then let me meet you again. I’ve also found a chance to repay you. I’ll provide evidence to expose that scumbag’s true colors. Please be patient.”

He kissed the back of Ksenja’s hand and turned to leave the room.

[Ksenja’s favorability toward you has increased.]
