Being an NPC is Fine Too

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 140: Finally passed the judgment

Chapter 140: Finally passed the judgment

Obviously, the Phantom Thief was naive, and Ye Xing's worries were not groundless.

But the real NPCs really know how powerful the items in this game are.

As long as you are willing to spend money and get treasures through krypton gold, what can't you do?

Not to mention tracking, as long as the money is in place, they will return to the banquet hall in the next second.

This kind of prop has also been seen in the store. As an employee, he can take it whenever he wants, but if a player wants to buy it, it is really an astronomical figure.

Almost no one would buy such an expensive item, but we must be on guard against it.

People who are addicted to games can be found everywhere.

If you recharge for some games, people will ask you questions like "You recharged for this too? Can't zero-paying players still play it?" But some people are willing to do that.

He didn't understand such behavior before, but now that he has become an insider in the industry, he thinks that such people are living Bodhisattvas.

This move has saved many small workshops that were once unable to make money.

Even if he doesn't play games, he knows that some skin-changing games are just casting a wide net and waiting for one or two people who are willing to spend money.

Even though there are only a few of them, the amount invested is enough to make the project break even.

Those kinds of skin-changing mini-games don't cost much, after all, they have basically no novelty or design, they are just copying others' ideas.

But if you can make money, you make money. It is not a long-term business, but it can exist for a long time.

He didn't know whether this method was good or bad, and it was not something he, a person who didn't play games, could comment on casually.

In short, as long as there is a need to spend money, there will be opportunities to spend money.

After all, who can resist money?

Therefore, when they were caught by the security guards who dropped from the sky, they were much calmer than the thieves.

Things that are predictable are less scary.

"What should we do next?" This was the first time the thief encountered such a situation, and he asked this question directly in desperation.

But the teammate said inappropriately: "Give me those two pieces of jewels first!"

Ye Xuan also had a plan.

A very risky plan, but the only possible one at the moment.

"Will it work?" The thief was still hesitating.

"Whether it works or not, we'll know after trying it!" His tone was anxious but also mixed with a hint of excitement.

The security guard looked at them, without saying anything or doing anything, just watching.

Perhaps, these people are the real NPCs.

In the end, seeing that the security guards had no intention of stopping him, the thief chose to trust his accomplice and threw the two treasures over together.

Ye Xing's connection was very accurate, and the whole coordination seemed to be very smooth and they had a very good understanding of each other.

It is not easy for them to remain calm and composed in such a critical moment even though they were just a temporary "prison break team".

He could see that the thief was indeed panicking, and even his expression was a little strained.

However, the determination of success or failure lies here.

He tried both and refused to believe that none of them would pass.

However, he was not quite sure how the system determined the "sharing of the spoils".

So he planned to throw the treasure back to the thief after trying them one by one.

After going through this process, it can probably be counted as “points”?

But this belt... He has been caught by the security guards now. It would not be a good idea to wear the stolen treasure in front of them, right?

He looked at the security guard who was as motionless as a puppet for some reason, and suspected that this was actually the effect of the props.

I just don't know whether this item is used by the Phantom Thief player or the player in the banquet hall.

In fact, the real NPC guessed half right.

This effect does not appear after using the props, but is inevitable.

Because the security team that caught them were not them in person, but something like puppets.

This can also be seen as a technique of splitting oneself into two, and it greatly improves the efficiency of finding people.

After finding its target, this kind of puppet will most likely stop moving and instead send out a signal to notify its real body to come.

In the process of rushing over, it is possible that the puppets are dropped or even disassembled, and those who are found may have a chance to escape.

As for why there is such a big risk - it is because this prop is affordable and very affordable.

To put it bluntly, cheap products are not necessarily bad, but cheap products usually have defects.

Ye Xuan hadn't thought about this, he just thought it would be better to finish the trial as soon as possible.

It has come to this point, so this mission is probably the final one.

After trying twice, he passed a belt to the thief.

Half for each person, that's how the spoils are divided.

He was right in thinking so, and that was exactly how the system judged.

When he saw that the judgment was passed, he was so excited that he wanted to hammer the panel.

Finally it’s over!

After all the trouble of traveling from the banquet hall to this remote wilderness, it was finally worth it.

When he climbed out of the game cabin, Ye Xing felt a little dizzy.

Maybe I've been playing the game for too long. I need to take a break and relax.

He walked to the cafeteria and picked out a new dessert.

It was not break time at this time, and there was no one else in the cafeteria except him.

Even this dessert was self-service by him.

Fortunately, the company's cafeteria had a refrigerator that could be used at will, otherwise he would have returned home disappointed.

Sitting in the empty cafeteria enjoying dessert, Ye Xuan inexplicably developed a sense of guilt as if “everyone else is busy while I am the only one doing nothing”.

This is strange. Didn’t I just finish my work?

How did this idea come about?

Or is it actually the guilt of eating high-sugar, high-calorie foods?

He didn't know how to sum it up, but he just kept talking.

Supplementing an appropriate amount of sugar during work breaks is also a measure to prevent hypoglycemia.

Although he has not experienced hypoglycemia, he still has to be on guard.

After all, there are precedents in the company where people fainted due to not eating on time.

Even though the main reason for that colleague's "illness" was unreasonable dieting, it still sounded a wake-up call for everyone.

After that, the dessert cooler was available 24/7.

In a gaming company, it's not surprising to work overtime until a few hours.

Some people even sleep in the company and understand the "007 work system" better than him, a real NPC.

After he carefully tasted the new product, the unknown folk gourmet gave his score for this dessert.

Appearance: Very, so delicate that it doesn't look like a dessert, but more like a handicraft. It may be difficult to mass-produce and can only be used as a reference for game modeling.

Aroma: 6 points, slightly light, slightly sweet after careful sniffing, no particular aroma stands out, but a barely blended complex aroma.

Taste: 80 points, smooth and silky, melts in one sip, and there are some cookies in it to add a chewy feeling.

Taste: 70%, not amazing, but worth savoring carefully. There is nothing special except sweetness.

Ye Xuan thinks this is a good dessert, but I don’t know if Xiao Qian has tried it.

If not, he would have to go over and remind them. After all, there was not much stock in the freezer, and it might not be replenished once it was all taken out.

After walking around for a while and finding out that Xiao Qian had already tasted it first, Ye Xuan returned to the office.

Everyone is busy with other things, so just browse the forum first.

He opened Youmeng's official forum, and the top post was the map he had just experienced.

Should I watch it or not?

After hesitating for a few minutes, he didn't move on and just stopped at the popular post on the homepage.

Forget it, let’s just take a look.

Real NPC: Did you choose the right answer in the multiple choice question? [Popular]

1L LZ Hello everyone! I am the host of the post "Onlooker" who watched the screen recording with everyone. Does anyone still remember me?

2L It’s you! Didn’t you say you were going to quit the game?

3L probably can’t stay out there any longer… But welcome back.

4L I really like reading the commentary of the host! What did the audience watch today?

5L Oh, that's the one, the one with lots of routes to choose from! I played it before, and now the real NPC guy is also there? What role do you play?

6L LZ Since some friends have already guessed it, I will not keep you in suspense - the real-life NPC character is the "absolute protagonist" role that everyone may have experienced personally.

7L I cried, is there such a thing in this game? I thought the party organizer I drew was the protagonist.

8L It’s okay. In your gaming experience, you are the only protagonist.

9L I still play with my friends...

10L So, what happened to the real NPCs?

Ye Xuan thought about it and realized that this kind of map also has a role called "absolute protagonist".

He had always thought that as a real-life NPC he would always have to play a supporting role, but he didn't expect to play the leading role in a "group drama" with a large number of people.

However, the thief and Ma had just as much time to shine as himself, the security personnel and the guests at the banquet also had their own characteristics, and the organizer of the banquet even thought that he was the protagonist.

It seems that there should be more than one protagonist, but his role is the most special one.

Come to think of it, characters with options are quite unique.

He has read the post and found that other characters do not have much to choose from. They just act according to the character settings and background. Only his character has the right to decide to change the general direction.

There are players in the post who have drawn this character before, but the route they chose to go to the banquet was to learn ninjutsu.

It is said that the ninjutsu learned there is still effective outside the map, which can be regarded as a thorough learning of the skills, which makes many players excited.

He hadn't thought of choosing Ninjutsu at the time, and now he didn't regret it.

I am a real NPC who can use the wardrobe and the mall at will without paying out of my own pocket, so shouldn't it be easy for me to learn some ninjutsu?

39L LZ Unexpectedly, the "carriage" turned out to be an open car driven by horses! This is probably the consequence of choosing the "???" route. I can only swallow my tears. The expressions of the real NPCs at that time were so funny. I will attach an emoticon pack in the next layer.

Ye Xing rolled the mouse and saw an emoticon of himself.

That expression was so stupid that it made him want to click the report button.

However, this player doesn't have bad intentions, so we should not discourage his enthusiasm.

He gritted his teeth and gave up.
