Chapter 188: Talisman of Protection

Indeed, it was as Liu Xing suspected.

Liu Xing nodded to himself. This module was indeed a multi-path module where players could embark on different side quests to reach and complete the main quest, ultimately clearing the module.

At this point, Liu Xing was already certain about two side quests: one was the Mian Gu Lu line, and the other was the Dark Willow Gang line. These two side quests were in direct conflict and would likely result in a life-or-death struggle.

Furthermore, it was highly probable that Kaminou Ryoko could also offer a side quest for completion, such as assisting Kaminou Ryoko, who couldn't leave the shrine, in dealing with the Eldritch God Taketori.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★

Apart from these, Liu Xing suspected that the Ziwu City Library's curator, Kuroba Naoki, and the newly appointed mayor of Ziwu City, Tennoji Sohide, might also have side quests. The former might involve unraveling the mystery of King Tindalos, and the latter might entail eliminating the Dark Willow Gang.

Of course, at present, Sawada Yinyin and Otonashi Takuya, who were helping the players, likely had their own side quests.

Considering all this, Liu Xing realized that most of the prominent NPCs introduced so far should have side quests. This module offered an impressive degree of freedom!

If the previous run-through games in the Ghoul area were merely linear decryption games, then this Shoggoth Region run-through had evolved into a sandbox game.

"Lord, we won't hand Mian Gu Lu over to the Dark Willow Gang. After all, the Dark Willow Gang is no good, and if we give Mian Gu Lu to them, even if we can deal with the Eldritch God Taketori, it will only lead to new crises. So, I have an immature suggestion here. Since you cannot leave the shrine, Lord, could I act as your spokesperson? We can communicate via phone, allowing you to remotely guide and instruct us. This way, we can avoid some unnecessary detours, and when facing the mysterious expert of the Dark Willow Gang, we won't be helpless."

Liu Xing understood that Yin En intended to pursue the Kaminou Ryoko line. However, Liu Xing couldn't help but wonder if Yin En wasn't afraid of Sawada Yinyin coming after him with a hatchet for this decision.

"In fact, I have no intention of getting involved in worldly affairs anymore. Even if Eldritch God Taketori were to destroy the world, it has nothing to do with me. As for the Dark Willow Gang, it is even less relevant to me," Kaminou Ryoko sighed and said.

So, Yin En chatted for a while longer with Kaminou Ryoko before bidding farewell.

However, Liu Xing couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Kaminou Ryoko seemed rather stingy, only giving Yin En the talisman and offering nothing for himself.

After leaving the Godless Shrine, Liu Xing asked Yin En, "Yin En, can I take a look at the talisman the Lord gave you? I'm curious about the properties of this protective talisman that can block attacks."

Yin En chuckled and understood that Liu Xing was curious about the attributes of the talisman Kaminou Ryoko had given him. He handed the talisman from his pocket to Liu Xing. After all, there were no "black-market" items in this run-through game.

Taking the talisman, Liu Xing examined its properties: "Kaminou Ryoko's Talisman. Automatically activates when the player is attacked, creating a shield that can absorb 20 points of damage, lasting for five combat rounds. It can absorb all damage when receiving the final blow. Usage count: 1 time."

An artifact!

Liu Xing looked at Yin En with envy. This talisman was equivalent to an extra life, especially with the ability to absorb all damage from the final strike. In this module, even random NPCs posed a threat of over ten points of damage.

Liu Xing handed the talisman back to Yin En and said with a smile, "By the way, Yin En, have you finally made up your mind to marry Sawada Yinyin? Well, it's a good thing. The Sawada Family and the Godless Shrine have become our allies, making it much easier for us to deal with the Dark Willow Gang."

Yin En nodded, speaking earnestly, "Yes, when I first came to Ziwu City, I intended to cancel the engagement. But now, it seems that marrying Sawada Yinyin is also a

good thing."
