Occam accepted Annie’s friend request.
“Linley, don’t worry. I will definitely expose the Epic Guild’s scheme.”
“Oh yes, and my friend.”
“He may be lazy, but I’m sure he’d be happy to help.”
“It’s been so long, why isn’t he here yet?”
The girl kept talking, then tiptoed to look around.
When Occam entered the game, he casually adjusted his appearance.
Annie did not recognize him.
When she was finished, Occam said helplessly, “Annie, I’m Occam.”
Upon hearing this, Annie was shocked and her eyes gave a confused look.
“You… you’re Occam?”
Occam nodded.
“You are Linley as well?”
Occam continued to nod.
“Wow, why didn’t you tell me?”
Annie gritted her teeth and asked.
“Um, you didn’t even ask before you hung up the video call.”
“And I’m too lazy to call again,” Occam said slowly.
“Um, Occam, I think you’re too lazy.”
Annie glared at him angrily and only spoke after a long time.
However, this was indeed Occam’s character.
As his childhood playmate, Annie knew his personality very well.
This person would never stand if he could sit or lie down.
The word ‘lazy’ was definitely the principle of his life.
Annie even thought that if not for his interest in games, no matter how much she begged him to play with her, he might not come.
“What are you going to do about the Epic Guild?”
Even though Annie knew that Occam did not care, she still asked.
“I can’t be bothered with them,” Occam said nonchalantly.
“That can’t be it!”
“They will definitely continue to distort the truth. By then, your reputation will be tarnished by them,” Annie gritted her teeth and said angrily.
Previously, when she did not know that Occam was Linley, she had wanted to go help him.
And now that he knew that Linley was Occam, she definitely could not sit back and watch others slander Occam.
“It doesn’t matter anymore.”
“You know, I don’t care about these.”
“I will kill everyone who comes,” Occam yawned and said.
Then, he took out the bow that was dropped after the Demon Hunter died.
“Here, this is for you.”
“Your job is a Summoner. You can also equip yourself with this.”
The Summoner job could summon all kinds of monsters or elves. At the same time, it was similar to an Archer as one could do long-range attacks. It was considered a very balanced job.
Annie did not stand on ceremony with Occam. She took it and put it on.
“Grade 1 Orange equipment. Did you get it from the Newbie Gift Package?”
Annie asked in surprise.
“No, I killed a bunch of people from the Epic Guild when I came back. It dropped,” replied Occam.
Upon hearing this, Annie chuckled and her eyes curved into crescents.
“I’m relieved to hear that they can’t beat you.”
She knew that although Occam was lazy, he was not one to suffer.
“Right, what is the mission you mentioned?”
Occam asked curiously.
According to the information he had found online, it seemed to be very difficult to accept the missions in the game, apart from his previous Level 10 Class Advancement quest, which was a fixed mission.
It was not like other online games where the players accepting missions were fixed.
The worldview of the “World of Gods” was especially huge.
At the same time, the degree of freedom was very high too.
This also made it difficult to accept missions.
However, because the rewards for the missions were usually very attractive, many guilds were actively attacking NPCs who might issue missions, though they had not made any progress yet.
Unexpectedly, Annie had accepted the mission.
“Hehe, I was just lucky.”
“When I was fighting monsters in the wild, I met a couple.”
“Their daughter went to the wilderness to pick a plant yesterday and never returned.”
“When they came out to search, they met a wild beast and I saved them.”
“I have to say, this game world is too pragmatic.”
“When they thanked me, I thought they were real people.”
“Then, I asked them why they came to the wilderness and received this mission.”
Annie grinned as she spoke. The two dimples that hung on her cheeks made her look even cuter.
Occam rubbed her hair self-consciously.
He felt the real touch on his hand.
Occam had to sigh.
The game was too real.
“Aw, stop rubbing my hair. It’s all messed up.”
Annie mumbled to herself and tidied her hair. Her ponytail swayed with her body.
“I’ve never seen you so enthusiastic about anything else. You just like rubbing my head.”
Occam stretched.
“I’m used to it.”
Annie rolled her eyes at him.
Then, she shared the mission with Occam.
“Ding, your good friend has shared the mission “Find the Missing Girl” with you. Do you accept?”
Occam clicked to confirm.
Ding… you have accepted the mission “Search for the Missing Girl”. Please check the mission details. ‘
Mission: Find the Missing Girl
Details: Find the missing girl in the wilderness and bring her back to her parents.
Note: Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
“Did you get the mission?”
Annie asked.
Occam nodded.
“Then let’s go. We need to go to Ziya Town.”
Occam nodded.
Annie took a few steps and suddenly realized that Occam had not moved.
“Why aren’t you leaving?”
“Aren’t you a Summoner?”
“Summon a creature for me to ride on.”
Occam looked at the girl and spoke seriously.
Annie covered her face and did not know what to say.
This was really Occam’s usual style.
However, she still waved her hand.
She summoned a spirit deer.
“We can leave now, right?”
Annie sat on the spirit deer and said helplessly.
Occam nodded.
After getting on the spirit deer, he leaned against Annie.
Feeling the warmth from behind her, Annie’s body stiffened and her face flushed.
She blinked her large eyes and took a deep breath, seemingly calming down.
Then, she commanded the spirit deer to head towards Ziya Town.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Ziya Town.
Annie’s blush had not faded yet. She looked like a red apple that made people want to take a bite.
“I did a rough investigation previously.”
“The missing girl disappeared into the Twilight Forest.”
“According to her parents, they were trying to pick a type of plant called flax. It can be used to weave cloths.”
“Many of the residents nearby rely on picking and selling them to make a living.”
Hearing this, Occam thought for a moment.
“Then we should be able to find relevant clues as long as we find a place with more flax.”
“Hehe, I think so too.”
Annie smiled.
