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 77: The number of fans supporting the company has increased instead of decreased?

Chapter 77: The number of fans supporting the company has increased instead of decreased?

Ye Xuan started the live broadcast on time. This time, the number of people entering the live broadcast room increased rapidly, and soon exceeded ten thousand.

Compared with the previous live broadcasts, there are too many viewers this time. If things get really chaotic, I guess even Sister Lin, the room manager, won’t be able to control them.

Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything, and a large number of comments had already filled the screen.

"Hey, isn't this the host of the shady competition? Have you finally figured out how to clear your name today?"

"Youmeng isn't a big company. Is it necessary to make such a fuss about a small game emoticon package competition?"

"??? What kind of monsters are in front of you? You are not Dream Players, so why should we care whether the competition is held or not? Besides, there is no shady dealings in the competition, and the voting results are transparent and traceable. I am tired of hearing this!"

There was a quarrel among the members in the barrage section first, and Ye Xuan was slow to speak, so Sister Lin knocked on the table.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat, "Welcome everyone in the live broadcast room to watch our official Youmeng Game live broadcast. What we want to express in today's live broadcast is..."

The barrage section was buzzing with activity, and I didn’t want to pay any attention to him.

"Welcome? Are you welcome for us to scold you? A good game company doesn't think seriously about making games, but instead relies on organizing competitions and selling awards to make money. You are worse than Wuya!"

"Who cares what you have to say? I'm just here to join in the fun. I heard there's some gossip to be had."

"The people who are posting Wuya are all scammers, right? Do you know how bad Wuya's games are? They promote them every day. As soon as you open the app, you'll see their game promotions. I don't play holographic games at all. Aren't mobile games better?"

"I thought they only recruited players from other families that I didn't know much about, but I didn't expect there were people from non-holographic circles? Go back to where you came from, you have nothing to do here."

"Sister Lin, these people...just mute them all." Ye Xuan turned off the microphone first, then turned and said to the other party.

He really didn't know where he could speak anymore, and as soon as he said one sentence, he was interrupted by someone.

"Xiao Xuan, please turn off the barrage first. I'll deal with it here." The number of barrages was too large. Sister Lin was not very familiar with the operation of the live broadcast room. She was in a hurry and finally banned the comments of several accounts.

Ye Xing obediently closed the barrage on his side, and the scene suddenly became much quieter.

It was just some words, why did he find them so noisy?

"Regarding the false statements against our company, our company has obtained relevant evidence and intends to sue. Anyone who provides evidence will be rewarded. I sincerely ask for your support. Thank you very much..."

Hiss, who wrote this? He felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was.

In short, there won’t be any leaders who, after seeing him using the “mass reporting” trick in the game, would want to learn it and use it, right?

If that's the case, should he be given some credit after the task is accomplished?

Not noticing the endless arguments in the comments, Ye Xuan quickly read the manuscript Sister Lin gave him. It didn't matter even if people said he read poorly.

Anyway, they just want to make a statement this time to prove that they have a clear conscience.

"Sister Lin, should I go off the air now?" Only five minutes had passed since he finished reading the script, but staying in the live broadcast room was just awkward.

Sister Lin looked at the time and saw that it was not as expected. "Xiao Xuan, why don't you speak on the microphone? At least talk to our players. You are very popular. You can take advantage of this time when we are framed and play a pity game to torture our fans to retain them."

Ye Xuan didn’t quite understand what Sister Lin said, but by playing the victim he was able to roughly figure out the direction.

Although he had never done such a thing before, they were really miserable in this matter, so there should be nothing wrong with complaining a few words.

"The real NPCs in our company's flagship game "Dream Travel" are a highlight. Therefore, our company held the emoji competition in the hope that players who like real NPCs can experience fun beyond the game in secondary creation."

He first briefly explained the origins of the competition, which was not for hype or money-making, but was entirely made with the players in mind.

"Unfortunately, a tall tree attracts the wind. While we have received support from players, we have also been criticized." Ye Xuan's tone became even more depressed. "Some people even maliciously destroyed our company's reputation and spread rumors on the Internet, which caused a huge negative impact on our company... During this period of time, as a real NPC, I have been trying to clear the injustice for our company, but the other party hid it too deeply. Only in recent days did our company find some evidence."

He took a long sigh, then cheered up: "I sincerely thank all the players who are willing to believe in us and support us when our company is in such a difficult situation. It is you who have made us achieve a better "Dream Game". Thank you!"

Even through the screen, many people were still moved.

He saw it after opening the barrage.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow, the real NPC guy must be having a hard time these days, right? His own competition has become a sharp knife stabbing at him. Has his superior taken the wrath out on him?"

"I... I just came here to follow the crowd and scold the unscrupulous game company, but after seeing this, I felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to scold again. What's going on? I'm just a passerby. If the situation really turns around, I will also apologize!"

"It's so funny. Why are you pretending to be innocent instead of solving the problem properly?"

"I think he is quite sincere. There must be something else going on."

"Don't you think this is weird? It's just a small game company's award ceremony, but it's caused such a big fuss that it was even recommended on the homepage of the live streaming platform. I'm speechless."

"Aaaaaaa, I feel so bad QAQ! He's such a nice guy, go watch him in the game, I treasure all those screen recordings."

Ye Xuan didn't expect that someone would praise himself. What was he like in the game?

The kind where you poke zombies with needles?

"Xiao Xuan, just say the closing remarks now and then you can end the live broadcast." Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Sister Lin quietly reminded the other party.

After Ye Xuan said a few very official words, he directly clicked "End Live Broadcast". Whether those barrage comments were posted to their full potential was not a problem for him to consider.

"Xiao Xuan's live broadcast has improved a lot this time." Sister Lin praised him as soon as she saw him off the air, "You performed well on the spot."

Ye Xuan knew that it was okay if he "left his body" or didn't say a word when he was not live streaming. In a sense, the company's requirements for him were really low.

Oh, that's not right.

This is called "inclusion".

"Hahaha, that's all thanks to Sister Lin's advice." How can you just accept it when your boss praises you?

Of course we have to praise them back and attribute all this to the leadership.

Sister Lin was going to report on her work and didn't plan to talk to him much. She just said a few words about account operations and left.

Ye Xuan saw Sister Lin off and looked at the phone in his hand with worry.

In his opinion, operating an account is the responsibility of a dedicated person in the company, but his personal account is different from the official account, so he still has to do it himself.

I was so busy running between games and reality a few days ago that I forgot about managing my account. I guess I lost a lot of fans.

He opened the app nervously, fearing that he would lose too many followers and be blamed by his boss.

Eh?!

The number of fans is increasing instead of decreasing!

He had previously closed private messages to people he wasn’t following, so he clicked into the comments section of his last post to see why he had gained so many followers.

【Comment area】

I felt mixed emotions after watching the live broadcast...I'll take back what I said before about You Meng for now.

The host didn't interact with us much during the live broadcast, but let's still pay attention to it, and get ready to get into the holographic game.

Come on, real NPC! We are here!

What’s fake can’t be real, I believe You Meng didn’t fake it—and I believe you too (heart)!

If Ye Xuan said he wasn't moved, that would definitely be a lie.

So, so many people are on “his side”?

He originally just regarded the real-life NPC as a very ordinary job and never thought that he would be liked by others for it.

But it seems that he also has many fans, and many people who support him and believe in him.

"Dream Travel" is not just his game.

He was in front of the stage, and Sister Lin and the others were behind the scenes.

He faces the players directly, represents the company's image, and supports the game's real-life NPC feature.

He must strive to do his best so as not to let down the people behind him.

They are a team, and even if most players only remember him, it is not his credit alone.

If there was no "Dream Travel", there would be no space for him to become a real-life NPC.

He was indeed surprised and touched to be loved by players.

Sure enough, a game that can move people is definitely a good game.

He is the actor in this game.

He has the responsibility to make players like this game.

"Senior, the new prescription has completely replaced the previous one." Xiao Qin handed over a report. "I have summarized the changes in the patient's physical data after taking the two kinds of decoctions. Please take a look."

"Well done." Ye Xing pretended to take a look at the statistical charts that he couldn't understand at all. When he saw the system displayed the word "passed", he praised the other party.

The captain happened to pass by and patted the Chinese medicine doctor on the shoulder: "Well, I have made a preliminary statistics of the evidence of zombies witnessed by the masses that you mentioned last time. It is indeed quite a lot."

Ye Xuan turned her head to look at her mobile phone screen. The network in the game was made to be quite realistic, not much different from the real world, and basically restored.

This level of online statistics is much simpler and easier to understand than Xiao Qin's report, and he can tell the approximate area range and frequency of appearance at a glance.

Although zombies are "roaming around and committing crimes", they do not run around the city everywhere. They still have some relatively fixed ranges.

"Since so many people have seen it in these places, then just go and capture it immediately. Why are you showing it to me?" Ye Xing was puzzled.

The captain was happy: "Of course we sent someone there a long time ago. Aren't we here to congratulate you for your contribution?"

After Ye Xuan became familiar with the captain, he found that this guy could occasionally make a joke.

He doesn't have the same sense of authority as before, where he would threaten to transfer the other team member to the detention center if he talked nonsense. He is still easy to get along with.

"Okay, thank you for coming all the way to congratulate me." Ye Xing replied, "If the higher-ups make an exception and give me a bonus, I'll treat you to a meal."

When he said "they", he glanced at Xiao Qin, but unfortunately the child was looking at the data too seriously and didn't realize what he was talking about.

The food in the game is always very good.

After all, this is another major selling point of "Dream Travel".
