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 175 Balance For the balance of the game

Chapter 175 Balance For the balance of the game

The room that was originally agreed to be a "temporary overnight stay" has now become their refuge.

Ye Xuan reconstructed the route he had taken in his mind, and after confirming that it was not too complicated, he decided to return the same way.

If you take a route that is easy to pass or see from everywhere, the probability of being discovered by the "enemy" will greatly increase.

He doesn't plan to confront them head-on for now, so it's better to stay hidden for now.

"Xiao Ou, follow me closely." He was worried that the child would run away thinking about Xiaomi. He thought that the other party would do such a thing as walking into a trap.

"Don't worry, teacher," the young master said confidently, "I know the situation."

The consultant was somewhat skeptical, but did not show it.

If Xiaomi could really tell the difference, she would not have gone to Xiaoou's house at that time.

Whenever he thought of this, he felt helpless.

Love brain is a disease and needs to be treated.

There are not many people on this road, perhaps because it is lunchtime and everyone has gone to the cafeteria.

Yes, they have been staying here from the last mealtime to the next one. If you don’t know, you might think they are staying at the headquarters just to get a free meal.

The "master and disciple" who had originally planned to seek shelter here for one night and then leave, now found it difficult to leave.

The main gate was guarded by Xiao Ou's father and brother, and naturally they were not allowed to go through the back door.

Before coming here, he had consulted Doctor Wang. As she had experience in further studies at the headquarters, she clearly stated that the back door was not accessible to everyone.

How could a consultant who entered the industry without rigorous training take this "special channel" that even the chief physician of a medical institution with some qualifications and status like her could not take?

Ye Xing was so worried that he almost chose to jump out of the window. He thought it would be safe here, and forgot that his identity was almost transparent to the enemy.

And he overlooked one point, that is, the two most important people on the enemy side were Omegas, and the Equal Rights Organization could not stop them at all.

It is unlikely to make the "enemy" retreat or be deterred, so we have to think of other ways.

He had only received ordinary exam-oriented education in school. How could he solve this kind of problem?

Why should I, who lives in a peaceful and prosperous world, think about solutions in such an abnormal map?

After walking for a while like a thief, I finally saw the door of the room right in front of me.

At a time like this, they must not be careless. Who knows if the room number of their room has been exposed?

In fact, he could have passed this road smoothly using props, but considering that he was not the only one walking, and he also had to take the feelings of the protagonist player into consideration, he just walked.

It is really not easy to ensure the authenticity of the game, but for such an unrealistic map, there is no point in maintaining some authenticity, right?

Fortunately, I finally returned to my room, closed the door, and didn't meet anyone I didn't want to see.

He breathed a sigh of relief, finally putting his mind at ease after feeling the pressure that had been hanging over his head all this time.

"Teacher, how long will we have to stay here?" Although Xiao Ou proposed to "run away from home", he couldn't get used to living outside.

He usually goes to school as a day student. There are many inconveniences in living outside of home, which are not something that a spoiled young master can adapt to.

Ye Xuan was also unsure, this was not like the previous plot copy, where all he had to do was cure the patient.

No matter how you look at it, marriage is more difficult than curing an illness.

It seems unrealistic to ask Al to cancel the engagement willingly, and the matter has already been half-failed since Xiao Ou's family...

Millet?

He once saw a saying that went something like "As long as you form an alliance with everyone, you will have no enemies", but he didn't know if this approach was applicable here.

In fact, Xiaomi was indeed the person who was most reluctant to fulfill the engagement besides Xiao Ou, but the latter did so because she hated Al, while the former did so because she liked Al.

This kind of relationship, where one is a love rival but not completely one, is actually quite complicated, but at certain times, it can become a breakthrough.

Their goals are consistent in this regard, and the prerequisites for cooperation are absolutely there.

Besides, Xiao Ou might be confused and "tell" Xiaomi. If we get him to join us, there will be no need to be on guard against this.

As for the rest of the people, at least Xiao Ou's mother was dissatisfied with Xiaomi.

Their "alliance" is not that solid, and it feels like it could be blown away by the wind.

Ye Xuan knew that making Xiaomi his partner was by no means an easy task, and it was even extremely easy to be backstabbed.

But when the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, you can still take a gamble.

He understood that Xiaomi's joining would definitely be more accepted by Xiaoou than Al's joining.

As a real-life NPC, he still has to take the opinions and feelings of the protagonist of the plot copy into consideration.

"Xiaomi, what is your attitude towards your 'engagement'?" he asked tentatively.

This still needs to be asked clearly, after all, it is the core of whether the cooperation can be achieved.

Although Xiao Ou is a love-brained person, he is also a very selfish love-brained person due to his personality. He only knows that he likes Xiao Ou, and does not pay attention to who Xiaomi likes.

Everyone around could see that Xiaomi liked Al, but even if they told the young master in person, he wouldn't listen.

He subjectively concluded that Al was not a good person, and Xiaomi would like himself even if she wanted to.

He is so narcissistic, and this is the self-confidence that can only be cultivated by his family.

The young Omega who was asked had obviously not thought much about this question. He was confused at first: "Xiaomi's attitude? Well, it seems that my parents told him when he came to play with me again. I kept denying it that day, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood either?"

As far as I can remember, that was the day Xiaomi smiled the least. He looked very beautiful when he smiled.

"That's right!" Xiao Ou clenched his fist and smashed it into his other palm, "Does this prove that he likes me too? Ah! Why didn't I think of it before? Thank you, teacher!"

Xiaomi, who was unhappy after learning that she had an "engagement", must have had the same feeling towards herself, right?

Who likes who?

Ye Xuan even suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

No, how can you get such an obvious answer wrong?

You have to rely on your own ability to get a zero in an open-book exam, right?

It’s hard to explain. It’s really hard to explain.

Not to mention waking up someone who is pretending to be asleep, it is even more difficult to wake up someone who is sleepwalking and talking in his sleep!

Moreover, his students' "dream talks" were all nonsense that could not stand up to scrutiny.

He looked at the silly and happy person in front of him and thought that choosing this plot copy was the biggest mistake in his career path.

Is this the kind of thinking a normal person could have?

He is very good at taking things out of context and making subjective assumptions!

As an outsider, I didn’t know what to say after listening to this. What would Al and Xiaomi think if they heard this?

Ye Xuan shook his head.

If he wanted to get Xiaomi to join their "anti-engagement team", his position as "team leader" might be lost.

However, as an employee in the game, you must take the lead in the copy.

It is true that players are playing games, but it is the manufacturers who control the games.

He is from a gaming company, and sometimes he still has to impose certain restrictions on players.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Who told him to earn this salary?

He thought of a related discussion he had seen on a "certain well-known" forum before.

Small talk: Daily life working in a game company. [Explosion]

1L LZ I recently changed a new job. Because of family reasons, I was introduced to a game company. I didn’t expect that a long-time player would also have the opportunity to participate in this link…

2L Wow! Let’s go!

3L It's normal to have colleagues here, right? There are many gamers in this forum.

4L But your situation is rare, right? Most of my colleagues’ families don’t support them doing this job.

5L It’s not an illegal job, what’s wrong?

6L You think that "playing with games will lead to loss of ambition". I used to be a tester and sometimes worked overtime at home. I played games every day until I wanted to run away when I saw our company's mascot...

7L LZ I think I have guessed which company the above post belongs to. It’s the one whose mascot appears in many places in every game to make its presence felt, right?

8L The OP has a keen eye. I am an employee of that company which is famous for the brainwashing level of its mascot. But can you keep this a secret for me?

9L No problem!

10L It’s true that the OP agreed to the 8th floor, but we all saw it and still didn’t agree!

11L Yes, hush money!

12L That one, the one whose mascot can be described as spiritual pollution?

13L Let’s focus on the host! I really want to know what the host’s daily work is like!

14L LZ Ah, OK, I'll tell you. As for my position, you can guess - first of all, we can rule out art, because I have no talent for painting.

15L I guess it’s cleaning!

16L I guess it’s the chef!

17L I guess it’s the driver!

18L What's up with those three guys upstairs? Are they here to cause trouble?

19L I think a game company can still operate normally without those three positions...

20L LZ Well, don't guess, I'm afraid my boss will see me and ask me to do these things. In fact, I am the equivalent of "customer service".

21L Isn’t that customer service?

22L Ah, our company has its own official store where we sell peripheral products. Is the OP also a customer service representative in the store?

23L LZ Well, not really. I mainly design game balance adjustments based on player feedback, and sometimes I need to communicate with players, so my colleagues call me "customer service".

24L What game has such a good thing? I want to play it too!

25L actually listens to players' opinions... The games I played before seemed to be randomly changed with a blind draw, and I couldn't see how it was "balanced" at all.

26L may have felt mentally balanced after seeing the players were unhappy.

27L LZ In fact, some newly launched weapons are too powerful. After all, you have to trick people into buying them first, and then after a while when they are not selling well, they are nerfed "to ensure the balance of the game." In this way, the players who were suppressed before will be satisfied, and the heavy krypton gold players who will buy the newer weapons will not say anything.
