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 184 The monk goes to fight monsters!

However, Ye Xuan's doubts were soon dispelled, because he heard the other party say: "But that's not something I should worry about. My family's business has never relied on me. If there is any trouble, my brother will take care of it."

The young master looked carefree again.

The counselors could see that their students had never thought about what it meant to "live off the fat of the earth". They always believed that they would be supported by someone for the rest of their lives and would continue to live a luxurious life as always.

It seems that there will be no crisis in this world, and I feel that there is still happiness ahead.

Anyone who can have such thoughts can obviously have never experienced any hardship.

Yes, if not for this, the child would not regard Al, who had played a trick on him when he was a child, as his "lifelong enemy".

He was very curious about what Xiao Ou would do if he knew that Al was actually his "rival in love".

But it is better to keep this matter secret if possible, otherwise it will be detrimental to the unity and cooperation within the team.

After discussing countermeasures, it was time to end the story chapter and log off.

He saw on the panel that it was still early for him to get off work, so he went to look around other maps.

As soon as he randomly entered a map, he was dazzled by the yellow sand all over the sky.

Fortunately, this was just a brief sandstorm, and he would be able to open his eyes after a few seconds. If he encountered a sandstorm, it would not be so easy.

He looked at the surroundings and found that this map was a desert, and not just an ordinary desert.

After all, in a normal desert, there would not be people flying with swords fighting monsters made of sand.

That scene was much better than some low-quality special effects in movies and TV shows, and it made him want to rush forward.

However, he doesn't have any suitable equipment or skills yet.

His skill points are basically based on the character settings in the script, just like acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine.

Right now, he doesn't have a specific personality, and his combat power is even lower than that of players who have just entered the novice tutorial.

So, open the closet and take a look?

He did what he said. He opened his wardrobe and without much effort picked out an outfit that was not much different from those of the group of people. The feeling of a cultivator came out immediately.

If he steps on the sword again, he can fly.

Since he had experience in "riding on clouds and mist" before, the difficulty of flying with a sword was nothing to him.

Anyway, he is not afraid of heights, and he can even be carried all the way on the helicopter's soft ladder.

Besides, this is a game, and you don’t really have to practice. Isn’t this a very simple thing?

He didn't quite understand why a few people were swaying from side to side and unable to stand steadily. Could it be an act?

When he flew closer and took a look, he realized that it was indeed an act.

Those who can't stand steadily are all NPCs in the game, and they exist purely to increase the difficulty for the players in the team.

A dedicated real-life NPC doesn't understand this kind of dragging role, but he can understand why those players on the forum say that playing a game raises their blood pressure.

If you encounter a "professional actor" while fighting monsters in a group, anyone will have high blood pressure.

But he had no intention of disrupting their mission progress, he just wanted to fly over and get a good position to watch the show.

Such a scene would be meaningless if you don’t watch it from the air.

On the ground, you can only eat sand, but it is very comfortable when you fly in the air.

He watched as the group of people took out their magic weapons and fought desperately with the sand sculpture monster, but the effect was minimal.

This was true for both sides; their attacks were like scratching the monsters, and the monsters' skills failed every time.

Why does he feel that both sides are acting?

Is this performed for him to see?

No, who is the player and who is the real NPC?

He said he didn't understand it, but he could take another look.

So he flew a little closer, and stopped just less than a meter away from the affected area.

Without entering the battle zone, he felt like he was just a passerby.

If you pass by a place and see someone fighting monsters, you can stop and watch, right?

Perhaps because he was too close, someone soon took the time to notice him.

"Young man, can you lend a hand?" an NPC who looked like a middle-aged man called out.

"Me?" Ye Xuan was stunned. He thought that maybe due to the mechanism, the NPC regarded everyone who appeared in this area as a player participating in this mission. "Is it okay?"

The other party doesn’t know that you are actually his colleague from another dimension.

Seeing that the players had no intention of objecting, he decided to lend a hand.

It's still working hours now, so it's not a good idea to just watch the show.

What if the leader finds out?

What happened in the game was no secret, and he saw that some players in the channel had recognized him and had taken time out of their busy schedules to express their surprise.

In order not to distract the players too much, he decided to join the battle.

The sooner you finish, the sooner you can call it a day, and it doesn’t seem very dangerous.

The reason why it is not dangerous is that he intends to output remotely.

The interviewer had previously instilled a lot of gaming knowledge into him, and he learned a lot even if he didn't play games.

He didn't want to be a "melee mage" like the other party. He thought that if he could use magic, he would naturally use it. He would definitely get beaten if he got so close.

After all, he had never played the game, so he had no idea about positioning and didn't have the reaction ability.

After taking out a talisman from the mall, he began to assist.

But the effect was not as he expected, and the scene after the sand exploded was almost suffocating.

After spitting out a mouthful of sand, he realized that this monster could not be defeated in this way.

The blast of that little bit of sand didn't do any real damage to the monster, as the sand in the desert soon piled up on it again.

It seems that this sand sculpture monster gave them face. Otherwise, it could obviously use all the sand in the desert to piece together a larger body, so why did it maintain its current exaggerated size?

But from this point of view, he also found out the reason why those players had been fighting for a long time but to no avail.

The fight was as good as no fight at all. How could they fight like this for half a day?

He looked around and saw that no one was using magic.

Those people seemed to be all sword practitioners, with swords under their feet and a sword in their hands to attack.

Some people even had not just one sword under their feet, but two.

What's wrong, are you skiing?

Are there single boards and double boards?

Looking at this lineup, he thought it was no surprise that they couldn't win even after spending half a day here.

With this style of play, it would be a problem if we can win, right?

Although he doesn't understand games, he has watched a lot of TV and read a lot of novels at school.

Generally speaking, in this case, an unconventional approach is needed.

For example, they can only attack physically.

And this is when chemistry is needed... No, it should be magical attack!

He threw out a talisman, which itself had no effect. It all depended on what he was thinking.

A talisman with this kind of power could be sold for a high price in the mall, but for him, it was free and he could use it at will.

"Pyroblast!" A giant fireball flew out.

Among the games that I watched my classmates play in the past, there were no cultivation-related games, only Western fantasy ones. I don’t know if they are useful.

He looked at the big ball of fire that really appeared and thought that this setting was acceptable.

Logically speaking, if all these techniques that are not in this system are feasible, then wouldn't it be very easy to fight?

It seems that a loophole has been found.

If I report this mistake to my colleagues, will I get praise from them?

The monks were puzzled when they saw that the fireball did not blow up the monster but instead wrapped it up.

What is this doing?

Although they were puzzled, this was a foreign aid after all, not someone from their team, so it was difficult for them to say anything.

It’s not that the other party is not in their team voice, but when the identity is unknown, the more you say, the more mistakes you will make.

When the players saw that the characters had fallen silent, they began to communicate frantically in the map channel.

"That's a real NPC guy!"

"I know, I was the first to discover it!"

"Actually, I told you this before, but you were busy fighting monsters at the time and didn't see it."

"Fighting monsters and slacking off makes sense, right?"

"Anyway, we didn't fail, and this isn't the first time we've fought this monster. We're just stuck, right?"

A few people controlled the characters and found that they couldn't even attack and could only watch.

They looked at the monster that was burning in the fire. It had been wrapped up so tightly that its appearance could no longer be seen.

"But what's going on now? Is there a bug?"

"Not really. I see the fire is still burning."

"What does this fire mean? Is it going to roast the monster?"

"Are you stupid? How can sand be baked?"

"That's right, at most they'll be baked into glass, right? And that's not realistic."

"Come on, this is a game, what reality are you talking about? I see it's just - wait, what glass?"

They looked up and saw the fire gradually dissipating, leaving behind a crystal clear monster.

Oh, it was really fired into glass.

This is ridiculous. What on earth is the game planner thinking?

Ye Xuan looked at the glass products in front of him and was very satisfied.

It's good to keep it like this, and it's easy for players to smash it if they want.

Today, I also helped the players complete the tasks. I am really an excellent real-life NPC.

He was a little bit impressed with himself, thinking that some of the titles were what he deserved.

Being the number one in the industry, you probably have to shoulder this kind of responsibility.

He waved his hand and flew away on his sword, as if he had never been there.

The back view I leave for the players must be very handsome, right?

I don’t know if they have any screenshots. If so, could they send him a copy?

He had chosen a good location when he flew away just now, right next to the glass monster, so the screenshot could definitely capture it.

If this "group photo" is preserved, it may be able to produce peripheral products, and then give these players a reward.

If they hadn't just completed their task themselves, there wouldn't have been such an effect.

And he felt that he was advertising the products in the mall again.

The talisman is a bit expensive, but the effect is so good. If he were a player, he would have to buy it after seeing it, without a doubt.

Would those people think that he was just here to sell goods?

Don’t think about it anymore. It’s time for dinner. I can go home and eat.

Ye Xuan looked at the time on the panel and saw that it was time to quit, so he happily left his job.
