Undead Mage with No Skill Cooldown - Chapter 381: You’re the Ones Who Are Abnormal

Chapter 381: Chapter 381: You’re the Ones Who Are Abnormal

Before long, Lu Ran arrived in front of Cen Yunuo.

He glanced at Liu Xinxin and the others, then said to Cen Yunuo, “Tell me, what’s going on? These monks should be new additions from the update, but it seems like you’ve known them for a while? And… they said you’re not a Professional?”

Speaking to this point.

Lu Ran looked Cen Yunuo up and down.

No matter how you look at it, she seems like a Professional.

Her equipment, level, Profession, health points—what isn’t indicative of a Professional?

Moreover, she can team up and so on.

This has absolutely nothing to do with being an NPC.

Cen Yunuo thought for a moment but shook her head.

Not sure if she didn’t want to explain or didn’t know where to start explaining from.

After pondering for a few seconds.

Cen Yunuo said, “Do you remember when I told you during the Hundred Cities League, after the national war, I wanted to take you to a fun place?”

Lu Ran was taken aback.

Of course, he remembered; later, when he met Cen Yunuo at the seaside, she even reminded him of it.

“I remember. When are we going?” Lu Ran asked casually.

Honestly, Lu Ran wasn’t very interested in wherever that fun place was.

But now, he was rather curious about the secrets surrounding Cen Yunuo.

Thinking that if he could go to the place Cen Yunuo mentioned, he might be able to get a general idea.

“Now,” Cen Yunuo said without hesitation.

Huh?

Now?

Just take off like that!

However, Lu Ran had no objections.

After all, the Japan had already been dealt with.

Now, Japan was nothing but land, completely turned into Lu Ran’s leveling ground.

Moreover, after Lu Ran destroyed all the Main City, the Teleportation Array also became ineffective.

Other Professionals couldn’t teleport to Japan anymore.

If they wished to go, they’d have to cross the Forbidden Sea.

The difficulty and danger of it probably wouldn’t interest many people.

“Let’s go then,” Lu Ran immediately said.

Cen Yunuo was a bit surprised that Lu Ran agreed so readily and didn’t ask any more questions.

Then,

Cen Yunuo looked at Liu Xinxin and the others.

Liu Xinxin, seeing through Cen Yunuo’s intentions at a glance, casually said, “You guys do as you wish. Don’t worry about Lu Ran; make it quick and return soon.”

She had spoken; there was no room for negotiation.

Thus, Cen Yunuo immediately left with Lu Ran for the Central Square.

Via the Teleportation Array, they were transported to a Main City at the foot of the Taiyin Mountain Range, a place Lu Ran hadn’t been before.

“From here, we leave the city and walk over. After entering the mountains, we’ll be there shortly,” Cen Yunuo explained.

She seemed familiar with the area.

“Aren’t you from Jialong City? Grew up in the Imperial Capital, so how come you’re so familiar with this place?” Lu Ran asked curiously.

“Not especially familiar; it has been a long time since I last visited,” Cen Yunuo said, shaking her head.

Whether it was Lu Ran’s illusion or not,

After the big world update with the new data, Cen Yunuo’s personality seemed to have changed.

She wasn’t as lively as before; instead, her mood seemed a bit gloomy.

Not sure if it had something to do with being chased by those earlier monks.

After leaving the Main City,

The two entered the Taiyin Mountain Range.

Lu Ran noticed that once they entered the Taiyin Mountain Range, ahead of them was an unexplored area.

“Moving forward, this should be a newly updated map area, expanded, vast, and probably not yet visited by many Professionals,” Lu Ran assessed as he looked at the map.

“Yes, newly updated,” Cen Yunuo nodded.

“But you seem to be very familiar with this place, and the place you want to take me is an unexplored area. Yet, before this map appeared prior to the data update, you already knew about it? Why?” Lu Ran continued to ask.

Looking at Cen Yunuo,

it seemed she already knew that this updated map would appear, even determined to bring Lu Ran here before the Hundred Cities League.

Cen Yunuo hesitated to speak, opened her mouth but then shook her head, saying, “It’s a long story, hard to explain clearly; you’ll find out soon.”

After saying, she continued to move forward.

Before long.

Lu Ran saw something amazing.

It wasn’t some kind of monster.

But a village!

An ancient mountain village!

Around the village, there were plenty of wild monsters, but they kept a distance from the village. The surroundings of the village also had some defenses set up.

However, these were not data-driven Defense Shields, but ancient defense facilities.

“These villagers, though human, are not Professionals; they’re NPCs?” Lu Ran asked in surprise.

“You can say that,” Cen Yunuo nodded.

“Strange. This update, why did it bring these? And those earlier monks, obviously human, but not Professionals. I wonder if they could awaken Professions and become Professionals. If that’s possible, then there really would be no difference between them and humans,” Lu Ran analyzed and said.

Saying this.

Lu Ran suddenly stopped, abruptly looking at Cen Yunuo.

If…

Cen Yunuo was such an existence, someone like these NPCs awakening to become a Professional, then what those earlier monks said made sense!

Cen Yunuo is an NPC!

“In your definition, what is an NPC?” Cen Yunuo suddenly asked.

“Differing from regular Professionals, they are data-created from the world’s updates, rather than born and raised here. That’s probably an NPC,” Lu Ran said casually.

“So you think they are just simple data, without self-awareness, merely driven by data to fit into this Data World, nothing more?” Cen Yunuo continued to ask.

Honestly, that was Lu Ran’s thought.

At least, it had been until now.

All those monsters in the wild, weren’t they the same?

Die, refresh, drop equipment, give experience—that’s their existence’s meaning!

The meaning of those monsters born out of data!

“That was the thought before, but now it’s different. No matter the earlier monks or these villagers, though strange, they differ from those monsters,” Lu Ran said.

“Strange, is it?” Cen Yunuo’s eyes flickered a few times.

Then she suddenly turned to Lu Ran.

With a serious expression, she said, “What do you think these villagers were like before the world was data-upgraded? Non-existent? The data bestowed them with memories, lifestyle, even intelligence so they appeared?”

Lu Ran was somewhat stunned; the question was profound.

He shook his head and said, “I don’t know, can’t speculate, I’ve never interacted with them.”

Cen Yunuo continued, “Have you ever thought that these people are the real humans, while data-centric individuals like you are the unnatural ones? That it’s not they who were updated into existence, but the Data World integrated into their normal world, where they existed even before the upgrades, but in another world?”

Hearing this.

Lu Ran felt a massive shock in his heart!
