"Hero, my child is missing. Please, please help me find them."
That was the line Chen Tiezhu had delivered as an NPC for seventeen years.
Until today, when he suddenly didn't want to say it anymore.
"Hero, I don't have a child. I'm seventeen this year, and I don't think it's appropriate for someone my age to go looking for a kid."
Then the System sent him a notice that his account would be deleted.
Chen Tiezhu glanced at the notice, then at the bewildered player before him, and calmly spoke.
"Fine. Let's clear this dungeon first, then talk."
Thus began the story of a menial NPC who refused to deliver his lines, and a one-sided beatdown that turned the tables on the players.
