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 37 Sneaking into the Ward Where is it? There!

Chapter 37 Sneaking into the Ward Where is it? There!

Sure enough, there were several people who looked like "guards" standing at the entrance of the fifth floor. Ye Xing signaled Qin not to make a sound and asked the other party to stay where he was.

Qin was a little worried about him, but when he thought that his senior was a powerful figure who could easily subdue zombies, he suddenly felt much more at ease.

Ye Xuan has the character attributes of an NPC. His steps are light and silent. His acupuncture speed is so fast that afterimages appear. He can recognize acupuncture points very accurately. He is the best way to make people unconscious without hurting their bodies.

All the guards fell to the ground, and when Qin was instructed to walk over, he saw "corpses everywhere."

"Wow——" the young man exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Senior is so strong, can I learn this?"

"Unique secret technique," the Chinese doctor took back the tiny silver needles one by one, "not to be passed on to others."

Are you kidding? He himself can't even explain how he used this trick, how can he teach others?

"Is that so?" Qin did not look disappointed. After all, his skills were not bad, and such skills were not necessary. "It seems that ancient traditions like Chinese medicine have quite a lot of mysteries."

"Have you ever thought about changing your career?" Ye Xuan joked.

"I will devote my entire life to scientific research!" I didn't expect to get such a serious reply.

"Okay, let's get down to business first. This is related to whether you, Xiao Qin, will be expelled from the scientific research community." Ye Xuan looked around the surrounding environment. The ward was closed and there was no one in the corridor. It was a good time to "sneak in." "Follow me closely, the door will be opened randomly."

"Got it, senior." The young man followed him obediently, and the two of them slowed down their pace and walked deeper into the corridor.

The lights on the top of the corridor were bright and cold, shining on the pure white walls, making people feel an inexplicably depressing atmosphere. The hospital smelled heavily of disinfectant, and the voices of the patients could be faintly heard from behind the door, making people feel that this might be a horror game.

The horror was not obvious, but it made people feel more and more that something was wrong. They felt that something would suddenly appear at the other end of the corridor or in the ward.

Ye Xuan was not very brave, but he came with a child, and it was not good to show in front of the younger generation that he might be a little scared by the environment, so he forced himself to "lead the way" in front.

"Senior," Qin said in a low voice, "Where are we going? Do you know where those new patients are being held?"

Ye Xuan also whispered back, "I don't know, so we're just going to check the duty roster, which is usually at the nurses' station."

As an employee of Youmeng, he still understood some of the settings. For example, the stairs open to outsiders in the hospital were at the far right end of the entire floor, while the stairs reserved for staff were at the far left, and the elevator was in the middle of the floor.

The nurses' station is right at the left end closest to the staff stairs.

They couldn't take the elevator to the fifth floor because the fifth floor was a special floor that required a card to enter, but the distance from right to left was too long, and it was difficult to arrive there without being discovered.

Of course, that is under normal circumstances, and also because he can use props.

While complaining that there was really no point in spending money on this game for players, as all props were provided by NPCs, he opened the mall.

In fact, you can also use the invisibility cloak you saw in the closet last time, but taking out such a large cloak from the medical box is really far-fetched and not realistic.

Speaking of which, being an NPC in a holographic game is troublesome enough, and we also have to consider the player's sense of immersion. Are zombies real?

There are quite a few props that allow people to sneak into the nurses' station quietly, but if you have to choose, you have to choose the most suitable one. This black pill looks good and fits his Chinese medicine character.

"Xiao Qin," Ye Xuan took out a pack of pills from the medical box, "Take one."

Although it looks similar to chocolate beans, the other party knows that it must be some kind of magical item, just like the little paper horse before, which looks ordinary but is actually very powerful.

With trust in his senior, the boy swallowed the pill without saying a word, without drinking any water.

"Are you choking?" Ye Xuan was still hesitating. Seeing that the other party was so straightforward, he couldn't refuse to take the invisibility pill.

"That's okay. If you want some water, I'll go to the water dispenser over there and pour you a cup." Qin saw a water room not far away.

Ye Xuan was just about to tell him to be careful and not go, when he saw the boy's body gradually becoming transparent.

Qin Ziran also discovered this and realized that it was actually a pill that could make people invisible!

Relying on his invisible state, Qin swaggered into the water room to get some water. After a while, Ye Xing saw a paper cup "flying" towards him.

After taking the medicine, Ye Xuan also turned into a transparent person.

The setting in the game is: when using the pill, all items carried by the person taking the pill, including clothes, will become transparent, but the items picked up later - such as the disposable paper cup - will retain their original appearance.

Ye Xuan, who was familiar with this setting, was very satisfied with his current appearance. After throwing away the garbage, he asked Qin to continue walking towards the nurse station, without noticing that the surveillance camera above his head honestly recorded this scene.

As the only hospital in the city, the hospital is quite large. This corridor seems to be endless. I really don’t know how they work in their daily lives.

When Ye Xing was once again wondering if there really was a ghost wall or if the person who made the scene was lazy and just copied and pasted the whole process, he finally saw a wall and a staircase half-hidden behind the wall.

That means the nurse's station is nearby!

He quickened his pace and walked towards the nurses' station with great anticipation. He should be able to find the new patient's ward by finding the duty roster.

The nurses' station does not have a password lock like the wards on this floor, so the door can be opened directly.

Before opening the door, Ye Xuan deliberately held a needle in his hand to prevent anyone in the room from disturbing them.

He slipped in and pressed the light switch, and the room instantly became bright, but he didn't notice the presence of other people.

After investigating the situation, he made a gesture to Qin, who understood and immediately went into the house and closed the door.

“Senior, can we really do this?” Ever since he met Ye Xuan, every day of the boy’s life has been “overturned”.

Ye Xuan found the duty roster hanging on the wall: "It has to be done even if it's not possible. Time is tight and I can't care about so many things."

The duty roster was written in great detail, with the nurses on duty and the attending doctors in each ward clearly listed. Although the patient's specific symptoms were not clearly stated, the attending doctors could easily recognize Dr. Wang, who had been active in media reports recently.

An old acquaintance. It seems that the script of the young master has not been updated. Even the doctor has to play a role in other plots.

Yes, even though they had never met, Ye Xing could tell from the report without a photo that this Doctor Wang was the same Doctor Wang.

However, those NPCs of Doctor Wang are actually data composed of a string of codes, unlike him who is a real NPC. It is estimated that no one would recognize him when they meet him, so there is no need to say hello.

"This attending physician," Ye Xuan pointed at the three words and said, "is in charge of new patients. The ward number is '5034'."

"Well, senior, let's go." Qin felt that someone might come here at any time and it was not safer than the corridor.

The corridors in the hospital were very spacious, and since they were invisible, it was indeed less likely for them to be discovered.

The two of them quietly went out of the door. The first ward they passed was "5068". They didn't know when they would reach the new patient's ward.

"Why is this hospital so big? Are there so many special wards?" Qin couldn't help but complain.

Although the other party expressed what he was thinking, Ye Xing believed that since he was a senior, he should be more positive and proactive: "It doesn't matter. At least we have a goal and direction. It's better than asking blindly from room to room, and it's safer."

It would be bad if you accidentally walked into a ward with serious infectious diseases. Who knows what kind of patients are on this floor.

Fortunately, they didn't see a single person along the way and the corridor was empty, which was a bit weird in the "hospital" scene.

Fortunately, they have even seen zombies, so they won't be too scared if they walk together. They just need to pass through quickly and not think too much.

Ye Xuan heard footsteps in front of the ward with "5034" written on it, and listened carefully close to the door. He could even make out that it was a howling sound similar to the zombies before, but it was not as creepy and was closer to the sound that a normal human could make.

"This should be it," he looked at the electronic lock on the door, "Can you decipher the code?"

"How is that possible?" Qin looked at the password key with ten Arabic numerals engraved on it. "Although I am called a genius, geniuses also have their own professional scope. I am not a jack of all trades."

"Hmm...where is the potion that can melt the lock?" Ye Xing asked unwillingly.

"Even if I had it, I wouldn't carry it with me, senior. Don't assume that others have a medical box as fully equipped as you." The young man was quite helpless.

It seems so.

Ye Xuan knew that if he used the props in the mall, he could get in easily, but those methods were mostly not normal, and it would be even more inconvenient to trick the new patient if he aroused his suspicion.

How to walk into the ward naturally and openly?

"Senior, have you ever heard of a saying?" Qin suddenly had an idea.

"What?"

Qin pointed at the red carpet that was laid in front of the ward door for some reason: "Usually, if there is a carpet like this, the key will be hidden underneath."

Ye Xing was puzzled: "But this is an electronic door lock. It requires a password, not a key."

However, it is highly likely that everything in the game is not useless. Laying a carpet in front of the ward is itself very suspicious, so it is still necessary to check it.

Although they didn't find the so-called "key", it wasn't a complete loss. At least they found a note, which was probably the "clue" they had set up.

Well, at least you don't have to guess the password, and a hint is always good.

Ye Xuan unfolded the note, and the words on it made him suspect that he had been cheated.

This game is either making fun of the players or the real NPCs!
