LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 32: Map Update
Chen Xiyi left his home and checked his map, finding that the changes were quite significant.
Not only did the small map turn into a large map, but there was also a new function – each light point now had a name attached to it.
“Just like how Jianghu can show lakes and rivers on the map, the Royal Authority can even name NPC light points, which will make things much more convenient. At least finding people will be much easier in the future.”
Expanding the map, it still resembled a radar with no specific terrain. Besides lakes, rivers, and numerous light points, there was nothing else – just darkness everywhere.
But now with the large map, Chen Xiyi could overlook the entire world.
Most of it was white dots, except for a bright blue dot near him, and a certain number of red dots gathered around the Lingqu area.
“Why are there so many red-named NPCs? It seems that Jianghu killings in the Lingqu area were too intense before, leading to the birth of so many red-named NPCs.”
Chen Xiyi knew that it was human nature, considering there were not only NPCs killed by Jianghu but also those who died due to the trampling incidents. These people surely had family and friends, so it was normal for them to hold a grudge against him.
Therefore, triggering red-named NPCs was a very normal occurrence.
“Red names symbolize hostility and animosity, while white names represent unfamiliarity and neutrality, and there’s also green names… where did my green-named Wu Xiu go?”
Chen Xiyi suddenly realized that the only friend in his friends list, represented by the green dot for Wu Xiu, was not visible on the map.
He stretched the map briefly to search but found nothing.
“Did he leave the city?” Chen Xiyi opened the friends list and found it empty.
It was then that he understood that Wu Xiu was no longer his friend.
“Well, that’s life.”
For a moment, Chen Xiyi felt somewhat amused and helpless, as he realized that he was removed as a friend due to the loss of favorability.
“But it’s probably for the best. The other party probably didn’t consider me a friend, or else the friend system wouldn’t have removed me.”
What? Chen Xiyi was removed because he didn’t consider the other party a friend?
That was impossible to begin with, as Chen Xiyi never considered the other party a friend from the start, so that argument was completely baseless.
Knock, knock, knock – a knock sounded at the door. Chen Xiyi moved the large map back and adjusted it to a suitable scale before looking at it and knowing the visitor was a servant from the Prince’s Manor, then said, “Come in.”
“Sir, the lord asked me to bring you some food.” A maid pushed the door open and said softly.
“No need, you can take it away.” Although Chen Xiyi said this, he used the opportunity to test out the royal authority’s capabilities.
[Servant Li Yanjuan, 100% HP, Status: Fearful]
[Ability 1: Cleaning]
[Ability 2: Cooking]
[Experience]
[June: Assigned to deliver food to an unknown important person, feeling fearful]
[June: Targeted by Manager Li, had ten coins deducted from wages]
[June:]
Chen Xiyi briefly scanned the information, feeling satisfied with the details, especially the experience section. Unfortunately, it could only retain records for a month without specific timestamps, but it was still very useful.
In this world, its utility might not be significant, but in a world with extraordinary powers, this feature would be very valuable. Leaving aside other factors, the ability to explore the opponent’s capabilities was extremely powerful.
“Yes, sir.” The maid could only helplessly withdraw. If this important person doesn’t eat, she can’t do anything about it either.
After Chen Xiyi saw the other party leave, he also closed his interface.
“Too bad we can’t directly explore on the map, or else it would be like cheating.”
“However, what is this gold dot, and why is there only one blue dot in this world? Does this mean that there are only three items in this world that meet the requirements for spiritual transformation?”
Looking at the world map once again spread out by him, Chen Xiyi couldn’t help but fall silent.
He knew the gold dot was himself, but there was still another one on the map.
“Could it be another player?”
Okay, Chen Xiyi was overthinking it. When he further zoomed in on the map, he finally saw what it was.
[Incomplete Module: ???]
“It turns out to be a module, damn.”
“It’s just a bit far from me, but it doesn’t matter. This thing won’t run away. With the map positioning, I’ll first get my hands on the historical legacy items in the Duke’s mansion before deciding what to do next.”
“Unfortunately, the map cannot show what this item actually is. Similar to that module, it can only indicate that it is a historical legacy item.”
[Historical Legacy Items: ???]
If he could know what it is, then he wouldn’t need to intervene and just let Wang Li negotiate. By then, he can let Wang Li deliver it to him, the ultimate handover experience being Wang Li giving it to him, completely legitimate, so he doesn’t have to continue the deception.
After all, doing this also consumes a lot of energy.
Not only does one have to maintain a dignified demeanor, but also ensure that the other party is fooled.
He is just an ordinary sandbox game player, not those puzzle game players with intelligence like demons.
“I hope that the fairy in the Duke’s mansion can give some help. Otherwise, there might be no other historical legacy items in this world.”
“If only the historical legacy of this item could be artificially made.”
Chen Xiyi couldn’t help but complain. He still doesn’t know how the historical legacy of these items is determined. Many historic calligraphy, paintings, ceramics, and jade stones with ancient legacies have not been displayed on the map.
This indicates that they probably do not meet the requirements for spiritual transformation.
Currently, Chen Xiyi’s equipment and resources are basically graduated, unless there are corresponding modules added in, otherwise he won’t be able to advance one step further, let alone further by a hundred steps or a thousand steps.
For example, at present, he only has seventeen Mountain Copper enchanted TNTs, in the future, he can have one hundred, or even one thousand, Mountain Copper, Mythril, and Fine Gold enchanted TNTs.
The explosive power of a triple-enchanted TNT is considerable, a hundred of them will have even greater power.
As for the alloy gun?
That thing is for self-defense, not for executing justice and truth, the triple-enchanted TNT is.
Of course, there may be some places where executing justice and truth may not be suitable, such as when facing enemies in narrow spaces or guarding treasure troves containing precious resources and materials, that’s where the alloy gun can still come in handy.
It may not have as much damage as TNT, nor can it clear a area as quickly as TNT.
But that’s okay, Chen Xiyi doesn’t mind, after all, this alloy gun can be used as a submachine gun. As long as there are enough bullets, there’s no need to change the magazine, and there’s no recoil either.
