Chapter 35 Reveals Origins
Chapter 35 Reveals Origins
Zhang Jie interrupted him irritably, then feigned an envious and jealous expression and said:
"You should be grateful, kid. You actually managed to get a C-level side quest. That's enough for you to exchange for a low-level bloodline enhancement."
"What's the big deal about deducting 10 points?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyi secretly rejoiced:
"That's true, Brother Jie, you'll have to give me a proper introduction later!"
Zhang Jie nodded, then looked at Zhan Lan, Zhu Peng, and focused on Geralt.
Zhan Lan also looked at Zheng Zha with envy and said:
"My gains before the points were deducted were about the same as Li Xiaoyi's, and I also obtained one C-level side quest and 3005 reward points."
Zhu Peng then added:
"My earnings are the same as Zhan Lan's, one C and 3005 reward points."
At this moment, Zhang Jie looked at Geralt and said:
"You're the last one left. You must have gotten more than that kid Zheng Zha!"
Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, and the others didn't speak, but they all looked at Geralt with curious eyes.
Obviously, everyone guessed that Geralt should have received the most, but everyone was curious about the exact amount.
Geralt didn't hide anything and directly revealed what he had obtained:
"One B-level side quest and 7615 reward points."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xiaoyi stood up in surprise and said:
"One B?"
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiaoyi said with a look of admiration:
"Geralt, you're amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Li Xiaoyi seemed to be at a loss for words, only managing to say "that's amazing" before he couldn't think of anything else to say.
The others all had similar expressions, expressing great admiration.
Zhang Jie wasn't too surprised, but instead took a drag of his cigarette with a complicated expression and said:
"On the train, when I first saw you, I felt that you were different from the other newcomers."
"Later events proved that you were indeed extraordinary."
At this point, Zhang Jie asked curiously:
"Now that we're all in the same team, would you mind telling me about your background?"
"If it's inconvenient, then forget it."
Geralt hesitated for a moment, then spoke:
"There's nothing I can't say, but let Zhan Lan introduce it to everyone!"
"Perfect timing, I'm also curious about where Zhan Lan met me."
After speaking, Geralt looked at Zhan Lan with his orange cat eyes, his gaze searching.
The others, upon hearing Geralt's words, also looked at Zhan Lan with curiosity.
When Geralt brought up this topic, Zhan Lan was not surprised.
Because Janlan knew that this matter was unavoidable, and there was no need to keep it from Geralt indefinitely.
So, Zhan Lan took a deep breath, thought for a moment, organized her thoughts, and looked at Geralt, saying:
"I first learned about you from a short story about the Witcher series."
"After reading it, I gradually came to like this genre, and later I read all the novels about witchers, whether they were short stories or long ones."
Zheng Zha, who was listening nearby, hesitated to speak, but refrained from interrupting Zhan Lan's story.
Geralt, at the center of the conversation, also had some guesses in his mind.
After all, although Geralt comes from the Middle Ages, it was an era where magic and reality intertwined.
In addition, the unique natural phenomenon of "celestial conjunction" in Geralt's world means that Geralt's ability to accept things is not entirely outdated.
Zhan Lan continued:
"And the protagonist of these Witcher novels is you, Geralt of Rivia."
Zheng Zha could no longer hold back and asked:
"Wait, Zhan Lan, you mean Geralt is a character in the novel?"
"Have you read this novel in real life?"
Zhan Lan nodded, but her attention remained entirely focused on Geralt.
After all, what if one day someone suddenly tells you that you are just a character in a novel, possibly a fictional character?
Furthermore, you can be certain that this person is not joking with you, nor is they lying to you.
So, can you still remain calm?
However, seeing Geralt's calm expression as always, Zhan Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is. In Zhan Lan's world, I'm actually a character in a novel."
"The world is so big, there are so many wonders."
Geralt was quite surprised and thought to himself.
As for Janran's concerns, Geralt never wavered in his belief that his existence was real.
Because Geralt has experienced so much along the way, his heart is not so easily swayed by a few words.
How could I not know whether I am being authentic or not?
Sometimes, the line between reality and illusion isn't as clear as people think!
Meanwhile, Li Xiaoyi, standing beside him, stared at Geralt with shining eyes, then excitedly exclaimed:
"This is so cool! The main god can actually bring people from novels to the world."
"Does that mean that characters from other novels and anime might be brought over in the future?"
As Li Xiaoyi spoke, his gaze began to wander, and he drifted into a daydream:
"I wish the main god could bring Sakura in!"
"In Naruto, Sakura is my favorite character."
Zhu Peng, standing nearby, said with a disdainful look, "If the main god were to pull the Hokage, it would definitely pull Tsunade, not Sakura!"
Li Xiaoyi immediately objected and retorted:
"Tsunade is old enough to be your grandmother, how could the main god possibly have someone that old!"
Geralt, who was standing nearby, immediately stiffened. He had been listening attentively, but now he had been caught in the crossfire.
Although Geralt has white hair, he looks to be around 35 years old just by looking at his face.
However, if you calculate his age carefully, Geralt should be 60 years old.
Geralt looked at Li Xiaoyi and Zhu Peng, who had interrupted the argument, and asked:
"How old is this Tsunade you're talking about?"
Li Xiaoyi thought for a moment and then said:
"Probably around 60 years old, anyway, she's not young anymore."
Seeing that Zhu Peng beside him did not refute, Geralt knew that what Li Xiaoyi said was true.
Geralt looked at Li Xiaoyi, that brat, and didn't know what to say.
Zhu Peng then changed his tone, saying with a look of longing:
"Actually, I'm not that interested in the characters from Naruto. It would be great if the main god could bring in Aunt Wang from the Resident Evil games!"
Zheng Zha didn't participate in Zhu Peng and Li Xiaoyi's discussion because since he started working, his hobby has become going to bars.
It's hard to feel that kind of heartfelt urge to love a work when you're young anymore.
Zhang Jie was also deep in thought, wondering why the God of War was now using so many different methods to recruit people.
Surprisingly, they've started using characters from fantasy works.
"No wonder I felt something was off when I first met Geralt."
Zhang Jie thought that there was another side to reality that he didn't know about, such as the underworld.
However, because he was just an ordinary person before entering the God's Space, he was not at a high enough level to unlock the inner world.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that the main god had brought over characters from fantasy works.
That was absolutely brilliant!
