Ye Xing never expected that he, someone who rarely played games, would apply for a job at a game company after graduation. What he expected even less was that he would become a real-life NPC in the...
Chapter 136 Command Are you familiar with this place?
Ye Xuan made a lot of outrageous assumptions, none of which made sense.
But he knew very well that this was a game world, and any bizarre thing could come true.
And even if it doesn't come true, it can still drive that guy crazy.
He just couldn't believe that after he guessed so badly, the other party could still bear not to announce the correct answer.
"I really lost to you..." The voice had lost its smile, "Well, now it's time to announce the answer."
Seeing that his "plan had succeeded", Ye Xing showed a smug expression.
He knew that the thief in the room could see him.
Huh, the other party should now know how powerful he is, right?
As a partner, it must be a good choice!
As long as you team up with the Phantom Thief, you can probably complete the "dividing the spoils" required by the system.
Just thinking about it makes me full of hope!
He tried his best to put on an expression that was defiant but also disdainful, and proud but also conceited.
In short, you have to do this just to deserve a beating. You must let the other party see your "bright spots".
Of course, the Phantom Thief took in all the little movements and expressions of the man opposite him, and thought to himself that this man actually had some skills.
No wonder those security guards were able to lock him up here. If I were him, I wouldn’t want to see this guy wandering around outside.
Also, this guy might be off the beaten path—literally.
Ye Xing didn't know that the incident of him climbing the ventilation duct was accidentally linked to something by the thief.
"The answer is - you are such an idiot, upstairs means upstairs, literally," the voice laughed again, even laughing so hard that it made people worry that it was about to die, "I am right above the building you are in~"
Ye Xuan was stunned: "I guessed 'in the helicopter parked on the rooftop helipad', isn't it above this building?"
He felt that what he said made sense.
The voice was extremely angry: "What helicopter! What helipad! This is a sky loft! A sky-loft! The real thing!"
Now you know how powerful it is!
"Oh," the real NPC had certainly heard of the fable, "How tall is your pillar? What's its diameter? It has been talking for so long and it hasn't collapsed yet. There must be something there."
Is there really anyone who would choose such an insecure building? They are so bold.
Fortunately, the person who made that voice did not hear the inner thoughts of the person he was talking to, otherwise he would have vomited three liters of blood and died.
But even the Phantom Thief sneered at this, and the owner of the voice felt that he had lost face.
"It's completely suspended! High-tech!" the voice shouted angrily, "No support! It's a mysterious building in the air!"
Ye Xuan said calmly: "Your tone and the content of your words don't seem that mysterious."
It's not that he doesn't understand that his words might anger the other person.
But he just wanted to piss off the other person.
In this game, if you keep silent, you lose.
Since the other party was just talking to him, he might as well win back the conversation.
When it comes to speaking, he won't give up easily!
"Well, your 'sky loft' is a traditional fable-style building that's full of futuristic technology." He defined the other party's location.
This is the part extracted from the other party's words. It has only been processed a little bit. There shouldn't be any problem, right?
If this still makes that guy dissatisfied, then there is something wrong with him.
How could there be anything wrong with him? He was just following what the other person said. If he wanted to think too much, no one could stop him.
The voice was silent for several minutes.
The real NPC became arrogant again: "Why are you so silent? Didn't you say 'It's time for a conversation'?"
Haha, he breaks down at every turn, and you still want to force a conversation with him?
But he still had a lot of things to say, and he was afraid that the other party wouldn't be able to accept it!
You know, most of the hurtful words are hidden in the stomach, becoming inner complaints that are difficult to say out loud.
If the other party really wants to listen, he won't be stingy. It's okay to share occasionally, but he is afraid that some people may not be able to accept it.
Complaining at any time is not a virtue, but it cannot be called a bad habit either.
He just likes to complain, and not saying it out loud is the greatest respect.
"Hey, how did you get in?" Although there was no personal pronoun, Xing could tell that the thief was talking to him.
Hmm? This really can attract the other party's attention.
"I was acting suspiciously and was arrested by security without any explanation," he said bluntly.
Cooperation requires sincerity, and he needs to show his attitude.
However, he would definitely not say that he went through the ventilation duct just to meet the other party by chance.
You don't need too much of this kind of sincerity. If you reveal everything, you will appear too honest, which will lower the impression you make on the other person.
He still understands some of this principle.
After all, everyone has lived in this world and should know all of this. He believes that the Phantom Thief himself also understands this.
Say something and leave something behind, so that it doesn't seem "suspicious".
Being open and honest with someone you just met seems more like having an ulterior motive.
Although, he did come to find the Phantom Thief for other reasons.
However, in order not to destroy the authenticity of the game, it is better not to talk about things like the system.
He could tell that this thief was a player.
In front of players, you need to have some awareness of being a real NPC.
The voice finally perked up a bit, and after a few weak laughs as if to encourage itself, it said, "Aren't you curious about why I know so much about the room you're in?"
"Because you have a strange habit of eavesdropping here?" Ye Xuan said that he was not curious.
This is definitely the correct answer, right?
"No!" After the voice had almost become accustomed to refuting his words, it found that what the other party said actually made some sense.
Yes, that seems to be the case, isn’t it?
The original owner of the voice had long been extremely resistant to Ye Xuan's words, and wanted to express his disapproval the moment the other party opened his mouth.
However, his secret thoughts were actually revealed by the other party.
Um, do you want to withdraw your denial?
It seems good to be able to say it out loud, right?
Ye Xuan didn't know that he had actually given the correct answer.
I got it right on the first guess. It seems that guessing also has a luck value. All those failed guesses just now were just to accumulate a big one.
"In short, you can only escape if you follow my instructions~" The voice suddenly laughed sweetly, making the people trapped in the room very uncomfortable.
I'm a little reluctant to believe it...
Ye Xing and the Phantom Thief looked at each other - he felt that they should be seeing each other, but now he couldn't see the other person, only the other person could see him clearly - they both felt that they could believe what the voice said.
After all, they can't be trapped here forever.
Although they might be released after the banquet.
However, judging by what the Phantom Thief did and what Ye Xing did, they will probably go to jail again after they get out.
Moreover, at that time, it was not simply lynching to restrict personal freedom, but imprisonment without any pretense.
Real NPCs don't want the next map they open up to be a prison.
What a joke it would be if he really went in.
Now, even if I don't want to, I have no choice but to believe that guy.
They can only pray that the other party will not lead them into a ditch.
"It's so slow to dig a tunnel... The soil there is very loose, we can dig through it just by digging!" the figure directed the two men.
I have used this trick to help many people leave here. Isn't it clear where to dig and where the mines are buried?
Ye Xing was waving a hoe that someone had hidden in the dark room, and he thought this scene was really absurd.
He is digging a tunnel.
The ancestors who dug tunnels to “escape from prison” would surely exclaim “Wow, a tunnel (whispering)” after seeing this.
"Don't be lazy," the voice sounded like an overseer, "In the past, countless people have escaped by digging tunnels. If you slack off and fail to meet the deadline, you won't be able to hide it from me!"
Even Prison Break has a deadline, this is really not a place for procrastinators.
No, you can still wait. The jailbreak plan will probably be delayed day by day, but you just can't escape.
Ye Xing glanced in the direction of the noise. He knew that the thief was using a shovel to remove the sand from the cave entrance.
However, I still feel uneasy when I can't see it.
"Um, can you turn on your flashlight a little bit more?" he asked tentatively.
Being able to see each other always makes you feel at ease, right?
Seeing that the other party did not respond, he made a further request: "I don't have anything extra to do, I just want to confirm your existence... Just take a picture of yourself!"
Will the other party listen to me if I say this?
The thief seemed to have two personalities and became silent at this moment.
The lights came on.
It illuminated a pale face.
"Ah!" Ye Xuan let out a short scream.
There's no way, the impact of that glance just now was just too great.
How could he forget that a common way for people to scare others is to shine the light from the chin upwards in the dark.
The most classic, yet also the most effective method, it truly lives up to its reputation.
So scary…
My heart is still beating wildly.
This kind of palpitations is definitely not heartbeat.
It's shocking!
"Don't prove yourself like this in the future..." He slowed down and said this slowly, "You might end up killing people."
I was almost scared to death.
"Hey, are you guys digging properly?" the voice sounded again, "Don't be lazy! No slacking off!"
How come the trapped people themselves are not anxious? Even I am anxious "upstairs"!
"Digging, digging," Ye Xuan waved the hoe a few times meaningfully.
No, I'm too tired.
Why is it so tiring in the game...
There's no need for the authenticity of the game to be reflected in places like this, right?
He lacked exercise to begin with and felt that he was running out of energy.
People who sit in an office all year round can hardly do this, right?
Although his work experience is not yet "long-term", he has to lie down at his workstation.
Lying down for too long will definitely make your health worse.
Even people who work in offices may develop occupational diseases due to sitting for long periods of time.
People like him lying in the game cabin would probably have more serious symptoms.
For example, no participation in physical labor.
"Well, shall we switch?"
