Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Reincarnated as an NPC?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Su Mu’s mind blew up.

When he woke up, he realized that he had transmigrated.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Refugee]

[Occupation: Farmer]

[Level: 1]

[Experience: 0/30]

[Skills: None]

[Description: Farmer is an indispensable low-level force in the productivity of every world. Perform well!]

…

“What do you mean by indispensable force?” Su Mu looked at the attribute panel in front of him, his face turned as black as coal.

This was a game world. To be exact, it was the game world of the “People’s Lord”.

Different from regular games, the appearance of the “People’s Lord” was very sudden. No one knew who the developer was. All they knew was that as soon as it appeared, the game gained the attention and favor of everyone due to its 99% realism.

Each person only needed to buy an inexpensive game helmet to be able to directly log into the game.

At this moment, there were still five minutes before the game would officially begin.

Su Mu was aware of this because he was one of the National Lord Players in his previous life.

Perhaps it was luck or misfortune, but there was a deviation in Su Mu’s rebirth, and he became an “NPC” in the game world.

“Fortunately, this world is a real world. Otherwise, if it really becomes a string of code, it will really be over.”

Thinking of this, Su Mu looked at the surrounding environment and his own situation. He could not help but sigh.

Two simple thatched houses, a Lord’s meeting hall, and a broken fence wall…

These were all the structures in the village where he was born. Not far away, there were nine farmers dressed as refugees.

As for him, other than his basic life skills, he had almost no fighting ability. As long as there was a war, a farmer like him would not be capable of protecting himself.

If a player died, he would be resurrected.

But if he was the one who died… It was very likely that he would end up really dead!

“I’ve gone too far.”

After figuring it out a little bit, Su Mu rubbed his slightly aching head.

Time passed bit by bit. Two minutes later, the dense balls of light suddenly tore through the void, and with their long tails, they charged straight towards the ground.

Suddenly, the system’s voice rang in Su Mu’s ears.

“System Notification: Adventurers will descend to the twelve worlds in one minute. I hope that the natives can live in harmony with the adventurers and create a better future together.”

Su Mu’s spirit was instantly shaken.

“The game has finally begun…”

The refugees in the game would be randomly assigned to the nearby Lord Players.

Not long after, most of the players would also enter the game and start their journey as a Lord.

At this moment, a sweet girlish voice appeared behind Su Mu.

“Hello… Hello!”

Su Mu turned his head to look at the owner of the voice.

A tender face, exquisite facial features, and a sweet voice were like all men’s first love in their hearts.

Her black ponytail added a little cuteness, making her look young and beautiful.

The soft and cute girl spoke timidly.

“You are all my subjects, right? My name is Avril. Please give me more guidance in the future.”

The nine farmers in the territory saluted at the same time and responded in unison.

“My Lord, welcome!”

Avril also saluted back at the same time. She didn’t have the arrogance of a usual Lord at all.

However… Su Mu stood straight and didn’t move, which then attracted Avril’s attention.

She walked to Su Mu.

With a bit of confusion on her delicate face, she said, “Well… Hello, do you have any opinions about our village?”

“Opinions?” Su Mu frowned. “No.”

“Then you…”

Avril mumbled for a long time and said, “Then, you don’t want to join my Chang’an Village?”

‘Chang’an, is that the name of this village?’

Su Mu muttered in his heart. Looking at the pitiful expression of the cute girl in front of him, he couldn’t help but laugh. “What benefits does joining Chang’an Village have for me?”

Confronted by Su Mu’s question, Avril was obviously stunned for a moment. She said in a low voice without any confidence, “I’m a Lord. My territory can protect you from harm…”

Her expression looked as though she was trying to convince herself. Her cute little face looked at Su Mu nervously.

As for Su Mu himself, he thought of a serious problem.

His current identity was that of a farmer. It was impossible for him to do well in this world and even become someone superior.

This was because of being ‘born’ as a refugee. As long as this identity was not changed, Su Mu would never be able to get rid of the restrictions. This was a layer of ‘rule shackles’.

This was one of the rules of the Lord’s game world.

Without external help, the refugee’s identity would never be changed, and he would be in danger at any time.

The best way to protect himself was to rely on a Lord Player and become his villager.

In order to come into contact with this layer of identity restrictions, the Lord Player had to invest in him. However, how could a Lord be stupid enough to invest in an ordinary farmer?

Seeing that Su Mu did not speak, Avril thought that her words were not appealing. She hesitated for a moment, as if she was recalling something.

“Right.”

“When the barracks are built, a farmer can still change his job to become a militiaman!”

“When that time comes, you can protect yourself and our village.”

With these thoughts, Avril uttered the words happily.

“Farmers can change their job to become a militiaman. After a militiaman is leveled up, they can also change their job to another basic military unit. When the unit reaches Level 10, they can advance and even change their job to a different one…”

When he heard this, Su Mu was a little excited.

“That’s right. How could I forget about this? Farmers can also change their job!”

In his previous life, although Su Mu was also a player, he did not upgrade farmers or even change their jobs. This was because the farmers’ ability to be molded was too low, and the resources needed to nurture them were too large.

Instead of painstakingly nurturing him, it would be more practical to directly recruit a strong leader.

Any random Wolf Cavalry or Heavy Armor Army… Wouldn’t it be faster than painstakingly nurturing them?!

Moreover, no one knew if the farmer would be able to become a more outstanding job in the end.

However, Su Mu did not think so. His gaze became fiery. “If I can break through the limits of the military…”

As long as the farmer could change his job, it did not matter if he had a lower starting point. He would definitely be able to grow up and eventually become a strong person!

Sensing the change in Su Mu’s mood, Avril could vaguely guess his thoughts. At the same time, she looked at him with some hesitation, but then, she seemed to have made a decision.

“Su Mu, if you are willing to join Chang’an Village, I will try my best to nurture you.”

“However, being a farmer… No one can guarantee that you will really be able to break through at the peak of your growth.”

What Avril did not know was that for some reason, Su Mu had a strong sense of confidence.

Then…

Looking at the soft and cute girl in front of him, Su Mu solemnly bowed and spoke.

“In that case…”

“Su Mu pays his respects to the Lord!”
