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 170: Seeking Advice from Experience

Chapter 170: Seeking Advice from Experience

Hiding in this room forever is not a solution. After all, they will not be given the right to use this room permanently.

The consultant only said at the time that he needed to stay for one night, and the equal rights organization headquarters was very kind to provide him with the room for free because he was an employee of a medical institution.

Ye Xuan glanced at the panel and saw that several people in the cafeteria were indeed looking for Xiao Ou in that crowded and noisy place.

It seems that they have no experience of eating in this kind of company canteen.

Well, given their status, they shouldn't be eating in a crowded place, let alone in an environment where they could easily get contaminated by sauces and soup.

He admired it for a while and felt that this was simply a test for them.

And it’s not a simple one.

If Xiao Ou saw this scene, he would definitely say a lot of double standards.

For example, in the same scenario where Xiaomi was accidentally rubbed with sauce from the food of the person next to him, his reaction would be “How could that person rub such dirty sauce on Xiaomi’s sleeve! He must compensate! Ah, Xiaomi actually told the other person so gently that it’s okay, he is such a good person, an angel!”, and Al’s reaction would be “Hahahaha, he deserves this day! Tsk, he looks so embarrassed with his sleeve full of sauce - who was the person who bumped into him? I want a big reward!”.

As for Xiaoou's mother...

Her aura is so strong that many people avoid her. If something like that really happened, would the "perpetrator" immediately apologize and beg for forgiveness, right?

Well, he's a tough guy who you don't need to worry about.

Seeing the student sitting on the edge of the bed and swinging his feet with a heartless look, someone felt tired.

All forces gathered together, and they can still be so relaxed, they are really children.

Although Xiao Ou's age is set to be not much different from Ye Xuan's own age, he feels that compared to himself, the other party is just a child who needs his care and education.

Maybe it's because he has been in the ivory tower for too long, the young master's temper has become like that of a preschooler.

He expresses his likes and dislikes clearly and without reservation, and says whatever he thinks without thinking.

These may make you appear to have low emotional intelligence, but to put it in a positive way, they are "straightforward."

The advantage is that this kind of person doesn't have to guess or figure out the other person's true thoughts.

However, as a real-life NPC, Ye Xuan can originally see the character's inner thoughts. With the bonus of mind reading, this only benefit is no longer important.

He hopes that the protagonist player can pass the level smoothly, but until now he still can't figure out what would be a good ending.

It is certain that the engagement will take place, but if Xiao Ou's wishes are followed, the marriage partner will be changed to Xiaomi, which is simply impossible.

A good ending, or in a utilitarian sense a "victorious" ending, does it really have to satisfy the character's original wishes?

If we could take another path, a path that is not so consistent with the other person's initial expectation of a good life, would that also be feasible?

Like the previous protagonist player, Xiao Qin did cure the zombies as he wished and continued his scientific research career, but Xiao Xue became the patriarch which he originally did not want to be.

This is a good ending for them at the end of the story. No matter whether it is the path they expected at the beginning or the path they did not want to take at the beginning, it is the path that ultimately satisfies them.

Therefore, by the same token, this plot copy is probably the same. Whether or not it follows the ending that Xiao Ou originally desired, as long as it is a good result and an outcome that he is willing to accept, it is feasible.

The key to passing the level lies here.

In fact, maybe letting Xiao Ou study hard in school is also a way?

But this child has almost no basics. Is it really too late to lay a foundation in college?

As for finding a job, he was not sure what Xiao Ou could do.

I feel that it is more in line with this child's personality for him to stay at home and be a parasite.

No wonder the family wanted to find a good family to entrust this spoiled young master to for the rest of his life.

"Xiao Ou, have you thought about what you are going to do after graduation?" He asked the question that had been bothering him for a minute.

I can't think of it at all, maybe it's because he and the other person are not that familiar with each other.

"Hmm, this..." The young Omega tilted his head, as if thinking seriously, "Let me think about it, I probably won't continue my studies, which means I'll leave school, and when I leave school I'll go home - I know! Go home and stay there! Eat, drink and have fun, just like I did every time I had a holiday!"

As expected.

Ye Xuan thought that his understanding of this person was actually sufficient.

Doesn't this coincide with his idea? This child is just suitable to be a parasite!

It cannot be said that staying at home is bad, after all, people have the wealth to stay at home.

For a rich young man like him who is "unlearned and unskilled", starting a business is a taboo rather than squandering money.

There is a big difference between living off the mountain and burning it down with fire.

What's more, Xiao Ou's brother seems to be capable, and it is estimated that he can provide enough for his younger brother to have food and shelter for the rest of his life.

But can this kind of outcome really be considered a "victory"?

Can this even be called an “ending”?

He can't possibly stay here until Xiaoou graduates!

Moreover, this situation is too ideal, so ideal that the people in the cafeteria and at the door can be almost ignored.

If they have nothing to do with it, then what did the other players experience?

He doesn't think that a good plot copy only serves the lucky player who draws the protagonist.

Even though he is a real NPC who appears here to assist the protagonist player, he hopes that more players can have fun here.

If there was no engagement, Xiao Ou should not have to do anything and could smoothly reach her ideal ending.

The young master did not simply "not want to marry", but "did not accept the marriage with Al".

If the marriage partner was Xiaomi, even if there was no love, the child probably would not resist like this.

Al, of course, was unwilling to give up this opportunity.

This is very difficult. He doesn't know how to end this complicated marriage and love problem.

The original plan was to use the "pheromone matching level is too low" to dissuade Xiao Ou's family from this idea, but now it seems that this is not feasible.

If they didn't want to avoid on-site detection, they wouldn't have fled to this place.

It goes without saying that extreme self-harm such as gland removal is not advisable, but as for other methods... we can learn from the experiences and lessons of our predecessors!

This is the headquarters of the Equal Rights Organization. The Omegas with the most experience in this area in the entire empire - that is, the entire map - are probably all here.

Okay, let’s go and learn from them now!

Of course, Xiao Ou must be brought along as well.

"Teacher, didn't you tell me to stay in my room and not go anywhere?" The young Omega looked at the public lounge where some people were crying and making noises with a look of disdain, "Where is this?"

The other party said very seriously: "It's the place where the great hermits live in seclusion."

There must be something extraordinary about a person who hides himself in the city and who, after suffering unimaginable harm, does not choose to isolate himself but instead relaxes in such a public area.

And this place is indeed more closed off than the outside world, feeling a bit like a mental hospital.

Ye Xuan looked around and felt that there were indeed quite a few people whose mental states were worrying.

Judging from the information on the panel, this is caused by psychological trauma and pheromone imbalance.

In order to prevent Xiao Ou from being in a worse situation in the future, he felt it necessary to learn something.

"Excuse me, may I have the honor to ask you for some advice?" He walked towards the people who were sitting on a group of sofas and chatting. They had just finished the previous topic and were now in a transition period where they had not yet decided what to talk about next.

This is probably how the game is designed, so that information can be obtained through communication.

"Of course," one of them immediately expressed his welcome with actions, making room for the two new members, "Please."

Ye Xuan pulled the still somewhat reluctant Xiao Ou to sit down: "Thank you, this child just came yesterday and is very confused about the future."

He signaled to the students with his eyes not to refute him, and the other party had no choice but to nod and accept the character setting of "confused future".

There was tea on the table, and someone silently poured a cup for each of them.

Ye Xuan held a disposable paper cup and nudged the young master, who was dissatisfied with the cheap tea and simple tea set, with his knee to remind him to pay attention to the occasion.

Xiao Ou's complaint went around in his throat for a few times, but he finally swallowed it back into his stomach.

It seems like I'm being looked down upon, but this is "communication and learning" which the teacher values, and I can't just let it end in a bad mood because of my own pampering.

If the tea is not good, just don't drink it - in his entire life, no one even dared to persuade him to drink alcohol, let alone tea.

The counselor was very satisfied with the student's performance and continued to explain his purpose: "It's like this. I am actually an employee of a medical institution. The client I am responsible for is very resistant to the marriage arranged by his family and wants to "get rid of" it by removing the gland, which is an extremely dangerous method. I dissuaded him, but now he doesn't know what to do - can you please provide some help?"

"No problem, what's the big deal? It's a piece of cake!" After hearing this, one of the men stood up and patted the man on the shoulder. "Brother, you've finally found the right person! We often discuss not only our own cases, but also the successful cases of escaping marriages in the entire headquarters. Today, there's even an expert here!"

Ye Xuan rubbed his numb shoulder, finding it hard to believe that this power came from an Omega.

It was so strong that his bones were about to break.

"I'll speak first! I'll speak first!" The man sitting on the sofa looked very active, waving his hands left and right. "As for me, I ran away from my marriage! Well, it's not accurate to say 'ran away from my marriage'. It's more accurate to say 'broke off my engagement'!"

Hmm? Breaking off the engagement?

Thinking of the plots of novels that my classmates had discussed in school, I also imagined some scenes in my mind.

What would happen if Xiao Ou broke off the engagement with Al?

He tweaked the characters in the book.
