Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 313: Feras

The streets at Paradise Plains were getting interesting as nearby NPCs were stunned by the sight in front of them.

Nearly a dozen people were on their knees, bowing to Carmen, who looked quite fragile on the surface.

”Get up first and stop making a scene.” Carmen gradually composed herself and instructed them. It was truly a first for her to see a dozen NPCs bowing to a player.

She had seen NPC being respectful to Xu Feng, but that was only one or two.

Yet she managed to topple his record in an instant, and in an unknown manner too. Just what did she do to make them want her as their master?

Meanwhile, the NPCs kneeling and bowing received her instructions as if it were the imperial decree.

They gladly stood up and lined up in formation, reverence could be seen on their faces.

”Did these NPCs go insane, Guild Leader?” Unsure of the situation, Carmen rushed behind Xu Feng and asked.

If it were an enemy, she wouldnʼt have been afraid. After all, she would merely fight them to the death and ensure they would pay a price in the process.

However, in a fanatic situation like this, in which they held her in high regard, she didnʼt know what to do.

”I got this,” Xu Feng said and turned to the dozen NPCs.

”You wish to take my guild member as Master?” He questioned, emphasizing the word guild member to them.

That way, these NPCs would now realize their identity and status.

Sure enough, the gazes these NPCs had initially for Xu Feng changed swiftly.

”Greetings to the Grandmaster,” One of them exclaimed, clearly quite clever in knowing Carmen was someone who listened to Xu Feng.

After all, she had been hiding behind him. Only when one entrusts their safety to another person would they resort to such action.

”Who are you?” Xu Feng asked, inwardly feeling surprised by this particular NPC.

It had cleverly addressed him as a grandmaster, ensuring its chances of being accepted.

”Reporting to the Grandmaster, I am Feras, a Swordsman.” The NPC introduced themselves.

”F-Feras??!” Alarmed, Xu Feng had to inspect this particular NPC more closely. ”Youʼre saying youʼre the Feras?”

”Uhh… that is my name, Grandmaster.” Feras was confused by Xu Fengʼs reaction.

Even Carmen was slightly taken aback by XU Fengʼs sudden loss of composure.

Didnʼt he just say that he got this?

So why did he suddenly react more intensely than her?

”Is there something wrong with this NPC?” Carmen asked softly.

”Yeah, I canʼt believe coincidences like this can happen.” Xu Feng nodded and turned to her. A bittersweet smile appeared on his face as he once again felt blessed to encounter Carmen very early.

If not, then Xu Feng was afraid she would already reach a height that he couldnʼt cross despite being reincarnated.

”So what is it?” Carmen seemed relatively annoyed when she noticed Xu Feng was pondering silently again, leaving her hanging. ”Should I accept them or ignore them?”

”That is your decision,” Xu Feng said coolly.

However, the next moment, he whispered to her, ”These NPCs are rather rich by the way. You can ask for a fee if they want to be accepted.”

Initially, he was surprised by this group of NPCs, but after coming to a realization, he understood why they wanted to accept Carmen as Master.

After Carmenʼs showcase of force, these frantic fighters had taken her as their idol. This kind of situation wasnʼt uncommon once the Divine World underwent a system update.

Scenarios such as players taking some NPC as master, and vice versa were extremely common.

The only reason why Xu Feng was taken aback was that the Divine World was still in its early stage and he never expected the NPCs to be so bold and straightforward already in wanting to take a player as their Master.

Of course, the term Master was to make things sound right, but in reality, it was being hired as a thug— a thug that paid for their fee to become one. In exchange, they want the method to become stronger and greater than before.

As everyone patiently waited for Carmen to answer, she took a deep breath and glanced at them.

”Sorry, but Iʼm not going to accept any disciples.” She responded, causing most of the NPCs to be shocked.

”W-Wait, weʼre willing to pay for the lecture fees!” Some unwilling NPCs quickly shouted in hopes for her to change her mind.

However, Carmen remained adamant and ignored them.

”Letʼs go, Guild Leader.” She said, grabbing his arm and dragging him away from the scene.

Speechless, the group of kneeling NPCs had their mouths agape. But contrary to the spectatorʼs belief that they were disappointed, expressions of blissfulness and excitement flashed on their faces.

”As expected of Master Lunar Wraith!”

”Sheʼs so decisive and adamant. A Master like her naturally has strict requirements!”

”Yes, she glanced at us before, but probably deemed us unworthy yet. We must train harder and get her approval!”

The crowd started to become motivated and wished to improve further to gain Carmenʼs approval.

Unaware of her direct refusal, Carmen was oblivious to the thoughts of these NPCs as she dragged Xu Feng away from the city.

Only when she was sure there was no one else chasing or spying on them, did she relax. She then looked at Xu Feng with a bitter smile, ”Are you mad that I didnʼt accept them as free laborers?”

”Oh, so you knew what I was planning to do if you accepted them?” Amused, Xu Feng felt like he had never truly comprehended Carmenʼs inner thoughts.

However, the same goes for her in reality.

”No, Iʼm not mad.” Xu Feng replied honestly. ”Those NPCs are looking for you, so it is your right and decision to choose whatever you think is correct. Since you donʼt wish to accept them, then I wonʼt pursue the matter either.”

”Really?” Astonished, Carmenʼs eyes widened in surprise. ”But I was positive you wanted to recruit that Feras NPC person.”

”I do, but this and that are two different matters.” Xu Feng flickered her forehead and continued, ”Anyway, letʼs not get delayed further in our objective.”
