Chapter 555 Re-encounter
Having heard Xu Feng's explanation, Allison subtly began to understand the structure of the Divine World.
'So it's like survival of the fittest environment.' Allison thought to herself.
Such an environment was similar to the real world, but there was still some difference when compared to the Divine World. In the Divine World, death was not the end, but rather a game over to redo their steps.
"Anyway, that player is probably a noob and didn't understand the NPC you were talking about earlier." Xu Feng commented coolly.
Despite the commotion, he noticed that many other players had turned a blind eye to it. Based on their lack of reaction, it was quite clear that this kind of scene happened too many times for them to have any reaction.
Nodding in agreement, Allison still warned and teased him, "So you best be careful. Who knows you might be sent flying across the lobby as well?"
However, right after she finished saying that, she noticed the fierce NPC woman rushing to their side.
"Huh, is she really coming to get revenge?" Startled, Allison's eyes widened, clearly mistakenly believing the NPC woman was angered by the previous action.
After all, Xu Feng did attack and send the person who came flying at them back to where he belonged.
Contrary to Allison's astonishment that they might get into big trouble or worse, lose her quest immediately, Xu Feng held an amused expression.
While the crowd of onlookers quickly scram to the side— mainly the male players, the female players remained in their position, seemingly intrigued by this development.
It was a rare occasion to see the fierce NPC woman get out of her position and rush to another male player for some beating.
"Oho, that player is really about to become unlucky."
"I bet he's going to get flying at least 5 meters from here."
As the onlookers started making their bet, the fierce NPC woman arrived in front of Xu Feng and Allison.
"Wait, Lady Clara, he didn't mean any offense." Allison hurriedly stood in between them and tried to defend Xu Feng.@@novelbin@@
However, much to her surprise, Clara flashed a rare and genuine smile, her eyes practically glistening.
"What offense are you talking about?" Clara glanced at Allison before quickly shifting her gaze back to Xu Feng.
"Welcome back, savior." She continued, her voice very gentle and serene.
Stunned, baffled, and all sorts of mixed emotions appeared in nearly everyone at the Town Hall. Even Allison was dumbfounded by the sudden change in attitude.
"Savior?" Allison's mouth was left agape as she turned her attention to Xu Feng.
Meanwhile, the person in question merely chuckled and shook his head.
'As expected… her identifying skill is something else.' Xu Feng mused inwardly, not a bit surprised that Clara— the person he had rescued back then during the insurgency mission from Rolph, recognized his disguise.
His disguise could easily hide from most players and NPCs, but some talented ones such as Clara who had an absurdly high identifying skill could detect his disguise. This was something he had known during the rescue of her and the other captive women.

At that time, only Clara had the courage to speak up and interact with him despite the grim situation she had been through.
Part of it was most likely the fact that she could identify Xu Feng as an ally and not some insurgent.
So from that moment on, he was positive that she was destined for something big, which was why he brought her to the Town Hall.
Sure enough, she had not disappointed him one bit, given that she had already advanced to Tier 2. NPC's ability to level up was indeed something an ordinary player could never be able to catch up to.
"There's no need to call me, Savior. I merely did what was right. If you want to, just call me Wind." Xu Feng chuckled softly and suggested.
"Understood." Clara nodded, behaving no differently than a little girl. Her swift change in demeanor and attitude nearly caused the onlookers to go into shock.
"Is this still the NPC Clara?" One of the male players uttered in disbelief, rubbing their eyes.
"No, it can't be. I remember NPC Clara would unleash her aura if we even approached her a bit too close." Another male player chimed in, clearly not believing this was real.
While the male players could only pay attention to such superficial things, the female players were more attentive.
"NPC Clara said that male is her savior… could it be that he was one of the people responsible for the insurgent clearance?" A female player who paid a lot to the lore and background of the NPC exclaimed in shock.
The insurgent mission could be said to have made a storm briefly during the first launch of the Divine World, with many players searching everywhere for the insurgent hideout to eradicate.
Some were lucky enough to strike gold, while some were not so lucky. This was especially true for latecomers like them, who could no longer participate in that mission.
Although there was still the Vanquishing Hideout, the scale of it wasn't high and it was hard to succeed.
According to Clara's declaration, there were still remnants of the insurgents hiding somewhere, but so far, players hadn't been lucky in finding a trace of them.
"Clara, do you mind if we speak somewhere else?" At this moment, Xu Feng realized he was attracting quite a lot of attention, so he wished to speak in a more private setting. It wasn't that he was afraid of his current appearance to be spread, but he didn't want to waste too much of having to deal with the crowd.
"Oh, how clumsy of me." Clara smiled and quickly turned around as she was ready to bring Xu Feng upstairs.
And just at that moment, an unlucky male player had walked down the stairs after turning in their mission.
Upon stumbling across Clara, the male player's smile on his face instantly switched to that of horror.
"I-I'll get out of the way—"
Before the unlucky male player could finish his words, Clara activated her spell and directly sent the male player to enjoy the feeling of crashing into a wall.
