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 36: Disguised and Arrived at the Hospital

Chapter 36: Disguised and Arrived at the Hospital

Qin once appeared in people's sight through major media because of his identity as a "young scientific research genius". He is a celebrity in this city and is very likely to be recognized in the hospital.

Although he doesn't like being interviewed by reporters, he can't resist them coming again and again. Moreover, among them are official media that are difficult to refuse. No matter how hard he tries to hide, it is difficult to escape.

Moreover, the director of the research institute wanted to use his fame to exchange for sponsorship, so he always sent him to participate in some unnecessary non-academic activities. He had to go at least once in ten times, so naturally he could not avoid standing in front of people.

"How about I help you disguise yourself?" Ye Xing looked at Qin's highly recognizable face and clicked on the wardrobe icon that had not been used for a long time.

The last time he used the wardrobe in Misty Mountain, he was not forced to accept a mission, which means that in the script he should be able to directly use the props inside.

Ye Xuan operated for a few times and chose his own medical box as the location for the item to be transferred, so that taking out the props would not seem too abrupt.

"Xiao Qin," the Chinese medicine doctor opened the medical box he carried with him and rummaged through it for a while, then took out a pair of glasses and handed them to the boy, "Try these on."

Qin took the pair of ordinary-looking black round-frame glasses. Would it really be possible for others to not recognize him when he put them on?

The seniors will never harm him. Give it a try first and see if it works.

Ye Xuan watched the other person slowly put on his glasses and laughed in his heart.

Humph, these are not ordinary glasses, but "unrealistic glasses" that will definitely block half of the face, making it impossible for people to see the true appearance!

It has appeared in various works as a camouflage prop for many years, confusing others with strange reflections and exaggerated circles, thereby concealing the user's original face.

Whether it is a comic or a game, as long as this person puts on or takes off glasses, at first glance you would think it is a different person.

As expected of him, he is so good at choosing costumes and props.

"Senior..." Qin discovered that this was a pair of plain glasses. He quickly adapted to the existence of this thing and wanted to ask Ye Xing to help him see if it worked.

Ye Xing turned to look at him: "What's the matter, Xiao Qin—who are you?!"

He wasn't deliberately acting to show off his camouflage, he was really shocked - he was completely unrecognizable, and he would definitely not doubt that this was a passerby who had strayed in.

This prop is really useful. I have a good taste to choose it from so many costumes!

"Senior?" Qin felt that Ye Xing's reaction was strange. "Have I undergone a particularly big change?"

Ye Xuan patted the other person's shoulder and said in a very confident tone: "Don't worry, if you go to the hospital like this, no one will recognize you."

The boy wanted to look in the mirror to see what he looked like now, but time was running out, and the most urgent task was to find a "sample" that would be helpful for treatment research.

"Then senior, what identity do we have to enter the hospital?" Although the hospital is a public facility, it obviously does not welcome outsiders to enter. If they want to go in to find out information, they should have a legitimate identity and reason.

"Who are you?" Ye Xuan took out a small notebook from his medical box. "Of course I'm a doctor. Otherwise, do you want to be their patient?"

Qin looked at the medical qualification certificate in front of him and fell silent.

It seems that I suddenly forgot that my senior and he are not in the same industry, and the other party is a real doctor.

Seeing that the boy was silent, Ye Xing pointed in the direction of the hospital and said, "Let's head towards the hospital!"

Qin was amused by the other party's tone. He responded, then put aside his worries and walked towards his destination.

The hospital seemed not far away, but in reality, they walked for half a day and only reached one-third of the distance.

Why not choose another means of transportation?

The wardrobe does have some "magic". Once you open it, you will want to open it again.

The items taken from the warehouse may be some of the items that can be called "necessities", but the clothes in the wardrobe are not particularly necessary, but the complete functions and fancy appearance are still very nice.

No wonder so many gamers spend real money on games.

Ye Xuan himself doesn't play games much, so naturally he doesn't quite understand those who have to keep recharging in the game.

Maybe it's just because of poverty.

There were many different types of transportation in the closet, including normal ones like bicycles, and strange ones like the colorful auspicious clouds he had used before...

It is obviously illogical to create a car out of thin air, and even in a game, we must try our best to ensure that players do not make mistakes.

So it would be best if he could find a means of transportation that is light and easy to carry, or even take it out directly from the medical box.

Bamboo dragonfly?

No, flying at high altitudes would be too conspicuous, they just need a tool that can get them to their destination more easily and without much effort.

Huh? This little paper horse——

Ye Xuan had an idea and chose four paper horses from the closet and passed them into the medical box.

"Xiao Qin," he considered how to start talking to the boy, "are you tired from walking?"

"Do you need a rest, senior?" Qin stopped and looked at him.

"Actually, I have a way that can help us complete the rest of the journey easily. Are you willing to give it a try?" Ye Xuan treated the medical box as a four-dimensional pocket. "This is it."

Qin had never seen such an item before. After all, he had been devoted to scientific research since he was a child, and he had no knowledge of the armored horses used in folk sacrifices.

Ye Xuan looked at Qin's confused expression and knew that the other party didn't understand, so it was easy to fool him.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat and secretly played the background music he had used when they first met. "Xiao Qin, actually, we Chinese medicine practitioners also have some knowledge of metaphysics. For example, this paper horse. Have you read "Water Margin"? After Dai Zong, the Speedy Guardian, tied a Speedy Armored Horse to his legs, he could travel 800 miles a day..."

He talked a lot of nonsense, and it took the boy less than five minutes to go from being half-believing and half-doubting at first to believing it completely.

"It's so magical--" Qin sighed, feeling that his knowledge was still too narrow.

Ye Xing had become quite skilled in fooling children, so he nodded calmly and then demonstrated to the other person how to wear a paper horse.

Dai Zong seemed to use four pieces of armor per person, but they were obviously less than 800 miles away from the hospital, so two pieces per person would be enough.

To be honest, he himself didn't understand how to use the magic horse armor, but the clothes in the wardrobe were all very "smart" and did not require complicated operations, which was very convenient.

Is this the preferential treatment for paying players? Love it.

"Alright," Ye Xuan stamped his feet and kicked his legs, and after making sure the paper horse wouldn't fall, he said, "Let's head towards the hospital again!"

The paper horse was indeed convenient, and soon the two arrived at the hospital gate.

"Senior, we have the identity of a doctor, but what excuse do we have to go in?" Qin adjusted his glasses to make sure his disguise was still there, and walked out from behind Ye Xuan.

"Let's go in first. I've already inquired about the inpatient department," Ye Xuan took the time to look at the rare prompt, "It's in Building No. 3. If the information is correct, all new patients are concentrated in the special ward on the fifth floor."

"Senior, you are awesome!" The young man's eyes were full of admiration.

This is incredible. The arrogant and conceited genius boy Qin actually shows admiration for others? The character setting of the protagonist is almost broken.

Ye Xuan actually doesn’t care much about the character settings, as long as there are no mistakes in his part. Judging from the feedback from players, they should care more about the plot and clearance rewards.

"Let's go, let's go. We have to get there before those people from Lin City." He knew that the Lin City's research institute would send people to take over the research in the next few days, and by then they would probably transfer all the new patients in the hospital over, which would be troublesome.

The gate to the inpatient department was not heavily guarded, so relatives and friends who came to visit the patient and reporters who came to interview the patient were able to enter without being stopped, without having to make an appointment.

"Xiao Qin, relax a little," Ye Xuan looked at the boy who was shrinking further and further behind him, "You will only make people more suspicious if you act so unnatural. Just walk in boldly."

Qin took a deep breath, but he was still nervous. There were many people in the hospital who hated him, and there were also reporters who wanted to capture his movements all the time.

The hospital is filled with the pain he brought, a sin for which he cannot atone.

"Don't think too much." Someone patted him on the head, and he knew it was the senior who cared about him.

"Yeah." Qin said with a nasal tone, and he suddenly felt like crying.

"When you develop drugs, you are thinking about saving more people." The Chinese medicine practitioner used a declarative tone.

"Yes." Although he had thought about winning awards, the weight of those false reputations in his heart was indeed not as great as the therapeutic effect of the medicine itself.

Ye Xuan looked into the other person's eyes, looking at him through the special glass lenses: "Now there is a chance to save them in front of you, don't miss it."

Qin knew that he had not "missed" anything before.

That's a mistake.

He stopped talking and silently followed his senior to the inpatient department.

After successfully entering the building, the difficult part was getting to the fifth floor. You know, the special ward on the fifth floor is not an easy place to enter. There is a strict supervision system, and media reporters without special permits are not allowed to enter, let alone people like them who come to inquire about the news.

"Senior, it seems that patients on the fifth floor cannot go to other floors and public areas of the hospital at will. They are under strict supervision. How can we contact new patients?" Qin has a strong ability to collect and analyze information, and he understood the rules here in a short while.

"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will come to the mountain." Ye Xuan knocked on the sign for the fifth floor in the lobby. "Special times call for special measures. It should be no problem to break in, right?"

"What--" Qin didn't even finish his words before he was dragged up the stairs by the other party.

"Remember, no matter what I do later, you just have to watch quietly and don't make any loud noise, understand?" Ye Xing was holding a few thin and short needles in his hand. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that he had something in his hand.

Qin seemed to know what the other party was going to do, and hesitated: "Senior, this is not good..."

"We are here to save people," Ye Xuan "brainwashed" the boy, "Although the method may be a little wrong, this is the only way, right?"

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the fifth floor of the inpatient department.
