Chapter 44

Since there were three days to prepare, Wang Tian wasn’t in a hurry. He planned to go and collect the identity card the next day.

The next morning, Wang Tian prepared breakfast for his sister as usual, then drove her to No. 16 High School. He now mostly used his own Blue Moon War Car to drop her off, rarely letting her take the bus anymore.

This made Wang Yu more popular at No. 16 High School. She could boast to her girlfriends that her ‘boyfriend’ drove her to and from school every day.

Wang Tian left No. 16 High School and didn’t go to school. Instead, he prepared to find the system NPC to get the identity card.

The system said it was in the newbie village. What’s going on?

Open the map!

Wang Tian was already accustomed to the system’s mode. If he didn’t understand something, he would automatically use his mind to ask. Since it was a newbie village, there should be a map, so he tried to open the map with his mind.

As expected, a small map appeared in his mind. The map was like the one in a GPS navigation system, and it could be zoomed in and out, making it very convenient.

A map is normal; without a map, what kind of game is this!

Looking at his current position: Newbie Village No. 987586829: Huaiyang Village. Coordinates (957,345). Pointing his mind elsewhere, the coordinates of that place immediately appeared on the map.

Looking at the prompt, the system NPC’s coordinates were (1132,7867). So he zoomed the map to find the location. It turned out that the system NPC was near Tianhe Mall.

Wang Tian drove to Tianhe Mall.

From a distance, he saw the huge sign of Tianhe Mall. It was already past eight, and the mall was bustling with people. Which one was the system NPC?

There were no labels on their heads saying ‘system NPC,’ so he had to find it himself.

He parked the car and came to a pedestrian overpass. To get to Tianhe Mall, he had to cross the overpass. Under the overpass, in the shade where the sunlight couldn’t reach, several beggars were begging.

One beggar was missing a wrist, his right hand looking like a bare stump. He lay on the ground, holding a broken porcelain bowl in his left hand, shaking it continuously to beg from passersby. Behind him, two beggars were curled up in a corner, sleeping. These beggars were either missing arms or legs, clearly giving people a reason to feel pity.

Next to the one-armed beggar was another beggar who was different. Although he was sitting on the ground with a broken bowl in front of him, begging with the others, it was clear that this beggar was strong and had no physical defects. He was just dressed in rags, his face pale, and his spirit weak, indicating his status as a beggar.

“Pah! With good arms and legs, you don’t work but come to beg. I hate such lazy people the most,” a man in a passing couple said.

The girl also thought her boyfriend was right and threw a yuan into the bowl of the one-armed beggar. The bowl already had several bills, totaling about dozens of yuan. The bowl of the physically intact beggar, however, was empty. It was clear that more than one person had this thought.

At this moment, a girl dressed provocatively passed by, holding two white steamed buns, one of which she had only taken a small bite from. She stopped in front of the beggars, frowned, and casually threw the intact bun. Then she walked away. Perhaps her throwing technique was too good, and the bun landed right between the two beggars.

The two beggars looked at each other, both reaching out a hand to grab the bun. Each grabbed half, and the white bun was instantly marked with ten black fingerprints.

“It’s mine,” the physically intact beggar said.

“Clearly, she threw it to me,” the one-armed beggar said.

“It’s mine.”

The physically intact beggar said loudly, pulling the bun and snatching it away. He stuffed it into his mouth like a starving ghost, “Cough, cough,” without drinking anything, he must have choked.

“Damn, you dare to fight me for a bun. Brothers, beat him!” The one-armed beggar stood up, no longer looking weak. The two sleeping beggars also moved and walked over.

“Where did this new guy come from, not knowing the rules, coming here to steal our food, looking for death!” The beggars hit him with their hands and kicked him with their feet. The one-armed beggar quickly used the broken bowl to hit the new beggar’s head. The new beggar, who was being beaten, only dodged and didn’t fight back.

“Damn, your head is so hard, it hurts my hand,” the beggar with the porcelain bowl cursed. The bowl was already dented, but the man’s head was fine.

“Stop!” Wang Tian, who was about to go up the stairs to cross the overpass, shouted loudly.

Although he also felt that the physically intact beggar didn’t deserve pity, the other beggars were even more despicable. Anyone could see that these beggars weren’t truly disabled but were pretending to gain sympathy. In comparison, the physically intact beggar was better, at least he wasn’t pretending and wasn’t deceiving passersby.

Moreover, these beggars were organized and disciplined, belonging to the ‘Beggar Gang.’ As an outsider, the physically intact beggar being bullied was inevitable. Wang Tian didn’t consider himself a hero who would intervene in every injustice. However, these beggars were too brutal, and he couldn’t stand it.

Seeing Wang Tian intervene, the beggars stopped beating the man. They didn’t even look at Wang Tian and returned to their positions. They weren’t afraid of this student-looking person. On the contrary, the ‘Beggar Gang’ was as powerful as some criminal organizations. They just couldn’t make a big move in public because they still had to ‘work.’

Seeing that the beggars had stopped, Wang Tian ignored them. He also despised the physically intact beggar and didn’t plan to give him money. A strong man with good arms and legs begging wasn’t worth pitying, and being beaten without fighting back made him even more contemptible.

Just as he was about to cross the overpass,

“Wait a moment!” the physically intact beggar suddenly said to Wang Tian.

Wang Tian stopped.

“Are you called Wang Tian?” the beggar asked urgently, his eyes almost popping out.

“Yes, do you know me?” Wang Tian found it strange. Could this person be...? He was about to check his information.

“Wow...”

The beggar suddenly burst into tears, like a baby who hadn’t eaten for days seeing his mother. “Little Wang... you finally came... Little Wang... I’ve been waiting for you so long...” He ran to Wang Tian, grabbed his leg, and wouldn’t let go.

Wang Tian felt this person must be the system NPC.

Wang Tian couldn’t check the information of high-level monsters but could check all NPC information, so he could see this person’s information.

Check NPC information. Name: Dugu Yuntian. Level: 128. Gender: Male. Age: 187.

Health: 13000 - 25000. Attack: 350000 - 550000. Equipment: Sumeru Ring (Artifact).

Skills: 1. Amaterasu Martial Soul (Divine). 2. Eight-Headed Martial Soul (Divine). 3. Asura Sword Soul (Divine)... followed by a long list of divine skills and descriptions.

My God! Wang Tian was stunned.

This is the system NPC! Damn, pretending to be a beggar and fighting with beggars for buns! What are you trying to do?

“Brother... hurry up... let’s go... take me for a meal!” Dugu Yuntian finally stopped crying and said.

Hearing this, Wang Tian was completely speechless. After a long time, he came to his senses: “Get in the car with me!” He quickly pulled his leg away, afraid that the beggar might accidentally tear his newbie cloth clothes.

In the surprised gazes of the other beggars, the new beggar they had bullied was taken away by a handsome, elegant young man in an extremely luxurious car.

The passersby were also surprised and pointed at them, wondering if this young man was the beggar’s long-lost son.

In the car.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Wang Tian asked while driving.

“Take me for a meal first, we’ll talk about the rest later,” Dugu Yuntian said impatiently, his domineering aura returning in front of Wang Tian.

“With your appearance, if I take you to a restaurant, they won’t dare to let us in. Let’s go to my place first. You can take a shower and change clothes, and I’ll cook for you,” Wang Tian said, frowning at his ragged appearance and the unpleasant smell.

“Alright, I don’t understand the rules of this plane. I’ll follow you,” Dugu Yuntian leaned back in the seat, closed his eyes, and rested, looking like a high-level person, but he was probably just too hungry.

“By the way, how did you end up like this? You’re at least... an expert, right?” Wang Tian asked curiously.

“Expert!?” Dugu Yuntian shouted, “Tell you, I am a righteous Martial God! A righteous ruler of a nation!”

“Okay, okay, you’re a Martial God, you’re a ruler... but a ‘Martial God’ fighting with beggars for food is a bit too much. Even if you want to experience life, you can’t do it like this. Did you get tired of being an emperor and want to be a beggar?” Wang Tian asked with a smile. Such things had happened in history; Emperor Gao Wei of Northern Qi once went to beg, holding a broken bowl and shouting, “Ladies and gentlemen, have mercy on this little beggar...”

“Do you think I want to be like this?” Dugu Yuntian said angrily, “It’s all because of this damn system...”

“What does this have to do with the system?” Wang Tian asked, puzzled.

“Are you only level 4 now?” Dugu Yuntian said, “With your ant-like strength, you can’t reach that level... Alright, I’ll tell you. Actually, I’m also a player. Being a system NPC is just a task.”

“You’re also a player? Not a system NPC?” Wang Tian was surprised. He’s also a player! How can there be such a huge gap between players? Look at his strength!

“Which alliance on the Divine Eagle Star are you from?” Dugu Yuntian asked. In the game "Surviving in a Different World," players travel to other planes. There are 3,000 major planes and countless minor planes in the universe. The probability of two players traveling to the same plane is almost zero. Therefore, Dugu Yuntian felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Wang Tian.
