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 67 Interview Since I can’t stop the interview, I’ll just join it…

While Ye Xing was carrying out the treatment work in the game, everyone in reality was still worried about investigating the troublemakers.

"Sister Lin, how's the investigation going?" As soon as Ye Xing climbed out of the game cabin, he caught a glimpse of the figure in front of the desk. Ye Xing, who had long been accustomed to the other person sitting quietly at his workstation, was not panicked. Instead, he reported his work progress first.

"Not much progress. The enemy is far more cunning than we thought." Sister Lin's face was exhausted and could not be covered up by her makeup. "How is Wuming doing?"

Ye Xuan would contact Ah Wu every day after logging off "Dream Travel", but unfortunately the other party had come up empty-handed after several attempts based on the clues. The enemy's sense of smell was very sharp, and every time they were about to find the person, they would discard this layer of vest, change their appearance and continue to spread rumors on the Internet.

Although those are all unfounded slanders, they are not enough to warrant filing a case, and even calling the police will most likely not produce a good result.

If they take legal action, they must know who the defendant is, right?

Looking at the false comments on the Internet, I feel angry but have no place to vent. This is more disturbing than zombies and more annoying than a disobedient patient.

He wanted to get back into the game.

But one cannot always escape from reality. He is now the core figure of Youmeng, and running away from the battlefield is not his style.

"There hasn't been much progress on Ah Wu's side. The enemy is very familiar with the Internet and should be a hacker with a strong background. I just don't know if he is the mastermind or an accomplice." Ye Xing looked at Ah Wu's chat records and relayed them to Sister Lin.

Youmeng is an online gaming company, which has some connection with the work of some hackers, so it is possible that they may have made enemies.

"Okay," Sister Lin frowned, thinking about the potential target for a while, "I will report it. You ask Wuming's people to compile a list of the accounts and IP addresses that have appeared so far."

"Yes, I've already told him." Ye Xuan typed on the screen of his mobile phone and sent several messages.

Before leaving, Sister Lin turned her head and glanced at Ye Xuan: "Don't forget to eat no matter how busy you are. The food you eat in the game is not real. It is just a sensory experience. Don't think that you can stop eating after eating in the game."

Ye Xuan didn't expect that the other party had even discovered this. It seemed that the cafeteria lady had complained to his leader. What kind of treatment was this for kindergarten kids?

He said that he would eat on time, take care of his health and not add burden to the company, and only then did the leader leave with peace of mind.

It seems that in addition to being passionate about games, You Meng also has an extraordinary love for food.

Thinking about the fact that a large amount of money was spent to hire a dessert chef to develop in-game food, I also had a little more respect for my own company.

Although it is not a food game, it has a heart that yearns for food.

He thought of a new promotional point. Next time if the company lets him do a live broadcast, he will promote this unique charm.

After all, not all games are "Dream Game on the Tip of Your Tongue".

After lunch, he returned to the game and looked at the orderly daily work in the treatment room with great satisfaction.

At this rate, all the patients present will be cured within a week. Then we can call a group of reporters to publicize the matter. Are we still afraid of not being able to defeat the Linshi Research Institute?

Just when Ye Xing was imagining victory, Xiao Qin ran over with a panicked look on his face.

"Senior," Xiao Qin's physical condition meant that he couldn't run such a short distance and get out of breath, but he was too panicked, "The kidnapped patient has been found!"

"Oh?" Ye Xuan thought something had gone terribly wrong with the treatment when he first saw the boy's appearance. After hearing about this, he didn't say much, "This is a good thing. When you were like this, I thought—"

"No!" Xiao Qin blurted out, but the person in front of him was a senior he had always respected, so he softened his tone and said, "I saw him in the news, interviewing the Linshi Research Institute."

Ye Xuan was stunned. It turned out that the patient was really kidnapped by the people over there. His guess was correct. The plan was really to completely intensify the conflict between the two sides.

If the neighboring city gets there first... No, they have no idea how the patient was cured, and they would have known nothing about the reporter's interview.

"What's the content of the interview?" Ye Xuan realized that his tone seemed too serious after asking. In order to take care of the panicked boy, he softened his tone and comforted him, "Xiao Qin, don't worry. Since the incident has already happened, think of a new countermeasure and don't panic."

Sometimes, this is also a psychological warfare.

"The news said that they have successfully cured the infected, and the one they 'showed' to everyone is the patient in our clinic." Xiao Qin calmed down and continued, "I followed the patient's treatment throughout, and you know it very well. He is not fully recovered, and there is a possibility of recurrence. And if he is a first-generation patient, he may..."

Ye Xing understood what Xiao Qin had not said. If that patient was considered a true success story, the number of people who would come into contact with him would be unimaginable. Now that reporters had come to interview him up close, no one could predict what would happen next.

And if something goes wrong, who is responsible?

Just thinking about it is enough to give people a headache, especially for Xiao Qin who may still have certain psychological trauma from previous news reports. A genius was deified and then fell from the altar, and those reporters all "made indispensable contributions".

We can’t let Xiao Qin suffer this kind of harm again.

If something really happened and the Linshi Research Institute completely shirked the responsibility.

He would not let Xiao Qin take this responsibility.

He is the initiator of this treatment. If a major medical accident does occur, he will be fully responsible, no questions asked.

Besides, he is just a real NPC, there is no need to be afraid.

As long as the player does not fail in the story mission, he has not failed.

Even if it fails, who can really blame the NPC?

I also clearly understood the interests involved and didn't worry too much.

Since the group of people from the neighboring city came specifically to rob them, they no longer had to be polite.

"Xiao Qin," Ye Xuan said, carrying his medical box, his face cold, "Let's go to the hospital and confront the people from Linshi face to face."

Xiao Qin was still immersed in the panic of having his plans disrupted. He was stunned when he heard this: "Ah? Oh, okay!"

At a certain moment, he subconsciously wanted to escape.

This is not his previous style.

If it were the Qin of the past, he would definitely go and take back what belonged to him personally.

He doesn't pursue fame or fortune too much, he just wants to win an award that is particularly important to him.

Assistant Fang tried to share the award, but he disagreed.

Assistant Fang clung to him when things were profitable, but planned to get away when he lost power.

If the medicine is effective, the credit will be taken by others.

The medicine is harmful and he alone should bear the responsibility.

Perhaps it was from that time that he no longer obsessed with "his own" achievements.

For better or worse, none of this is entirely his.

Even though it was his idea, he was in control and he was the one who studied it day and night.

Honor is collective, he is just a so-called "genius" who was pushed in front of everyone.

"Xiao Qin, what are you daydreaming about?" Ye Xuan felt that Xiao Qin was in a very bad state today. After following him into the car like a puppet, he didn't say a word and seemed to have lost his soul.

"Ah, I'm fine, senior." Xiao Qin forced himself to cheer up. Now there was no way to retreat, he might as well fight hard.

"The last time we came, the infected were concentrated on the fifth floor of the inpatient department. They probably won't move this time, and the reporters who come to interview may also be there." Ye Xuan analyzed the location of their destination. He walked and talked, and after reaching the corresponding floor, he quickly dealt with the guards.

Xiao Qin always felt that the calm look of his senior was even more terrifying.

Ye Xuan looked at the doorplates one by one. Even a war correspondent probably wouldn't dare to conduct an interview in a ward with a very high risk of infection. So - he found it.

He looked at the three bright words "Reception Room" and felt that this was the most likely place.

The door of the room was not locked, and Ye Xing was standing outside the door, telling Xiao Qin not to make any noise.

They are still at a disadvantage, and it is not easy to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. They must have a way of appearing that can prove their intentions, just like the last time they took back Xiao Qin's information.

Ye Xing leaned against the door to listen to the noise coming from inside the house. He seemed to hear the old dean's voice. Old Xu, who talked the most, didn't say a word. Was he not there or...

One of the voices he had been exposed to the most in the previous period was that of the patient. It seemed that they had found the right place.

There was another voice I had never heard before, a young female voice, probably a reporter who came to interview, and most of the sentences she used were questions. But Ye Xuan could tell from the rising tone at the end of the sentence that the door panel was not thin enough for him to hear the content of the interview clearly.

He speculated that there were not many people in the room, but they were all core personnel directly related to this incident.

If that's the case, it's easy to handle, so it won't be too troublesome to explain.

He told Xiao Qin to stay where he was and not move, and decided to take the lead himself.

Ye Xuan pushed the door open suddenly, and deliberately used force to make the door hit the wall with a loud noise, announcing his arrival.

Several people in the room were startled and turned to look at him, with an expression of shock and confusion. Only the old dean remained calm.

Ye Xuan looked around at the people in front of him and found that it was indeed the old dean and his three companions plus the patient. The unfamiliar woman must be a reporter.

"Hey, long time no see." Ye Xuan's tone was familiar but mocking, "Is the treatment going well?"

Xiao Ma turned his face away feeling somewhat guilty.

Old Xu was so emotional that he wanted to stand up, but he had to give up because of the presence of reporters.

The old dean still maintained his airs, pretending not to hear what was said, and ignored the visitor.

When the patient saw Ye Xing, he recalled the fear he had when he was controlled by medicine and acupuncture in the clinic, and his face turned pale for a moment.

"Oh, there's one more." Ye Xuan took in the reactions of the people in front of him and turned to the reporter. "It's our first meeting. I've prepared a gift for you. I hope you'll accept it."

"What is it?" The reporter's keen professional sense told her that this must be big news that cannot be missed.

This time I came to the hospital for an interview at the risk of infection. I hope I can report something amazing.

Then this is an adventurous trip - worth it!

"Yes..." Ye Xuan glanced at the old dean and said, "It's an exclusive big news."
