Chapter 81: Promoting the Last First Generation

When Ye Xing arrived, Xiao Qin had already started fighting with the afterimage that had flashed by before. The opponent was so fast that his specific appearance could not be seen clearly, as if the flow of time was different from theirs.

Ye Xuan had never seen an opponent who could fight Xiao Qin on equal terms. His heart sank and his hand subconsciously reached for his waist, but he remembered that he did not bring his medical box this time.

The portals for acupuncture and shopping mall items are in the medical box. It would be really troublesome without it.

He secretly cursed his bad luck. Although Xiao Qin was now evenly matched with his opponent, the opponent's agility was far beyond the reach of ordinary people. In this situation, Xiao Qin would be at a disadvantage whether attacking or dodging.

The main theme of "Dream Travel" is realism. It is impossible to have skills such as cool spell attacks in a map with a modern background. Players can only rely on fists and feet and weapons of the corresponding era to deal with enemies, which is not so easy.

Even if Ye Xuan's eyes were blurry, he could see at this moment that the guy of unknown origin was probably not a normal human being, and could not even be called a normal zombie.

This seems to be a first-generation infected person who was radicalized in the research institute?

The search team has now captured all the zombies that the citizens can see in the city, but there are still some that they cannot take into their own treatment room no matter what.

Those are the patients in the hospital.

Even if the progress of the treatment at the Linshi Research Institute is slow, they are still officially designated treatment personnel. …

After the city's research institute transferred full authority for the drug research to the nearby city, the responsibility for the drug trial accident naturally fell to the nearby city.

But they didn't expect that a Chinese medicine doctor would appear halfway through, and even the search and arrest team that originally cooperated with them would change their partners for him.

The Linshi Research Institute was undoubtedly furious. They judged things based on seniority the most. In their view, a young Chinese medicine practitioner who had not published a single medical paper in any authoritative journal was not worthy of being their enemy.

But the fact is, this Chinese medicine practitioner not only completely broke off relations with them, but also became their enemy.

And it ended with their miserable defeat.

Ye Xuan roughly guessed why this zombie appeared here. The last time a patient they cured relapsed and injured someone, the matter was dropped after Xiao Qin's sincere apology. The Linshi Research Institute, which did not have the halo of the protagonist, was naturally furious and wanted to interfere and frame Xiao Qin again.

If a first-generation infected person bites someone, it won't be as simple as giving a rabies vaccine. The victim will most likely be infected and become a zombie, which is very tricky.

Fortunately, the number of the first generation was not too large, although they were unrecognizable at first. Fortunately, I found the information of all the volunteers who participated in the drug trial, including photos, in the information I helped Xiao Qin get back from the people in the research institute last time.

Most of the first generation infected people are already in the search and capture team, and the one in front of him is probably the last one to escape.

In a sense, the group of people from Lin City did them a great favor this time.

The park was not very big, and the noise made by Xiao Qin and his friends in the fight was quite loud. After confirming that all the members were present, the captain rushed to help and found the scene in no time.

Then he pulled out the gun from his waist.

Xiao Qin was still fighting with the opponent in the previous second, and in the next second the opponent's already lifeless eyes became even more dull, and he fell straight down.

He was startled and took a step back.

"Don't worry," the captain explained, noting that the child was frightened, "This is just a tranquilizer gun. It won't have much impact on your treatment."

She was very confident in her aim and there was no possibility of hurting Xiao Qin.

Ye Xuan clapped his hands and said, "This can be regarded as an unexpected gain from this outdoor test. Let's take it back before the effect of the medicine wears off."

There is still a difference between zombies and healthy people, and the anesthesia effect cannot be calculated according to normal conditions.

…

The finished products of the peripherals were better than expected, and Ye Xing soon received his share - a slightly improved second version of the stickers.

The difference from the first edition is that the cuts are smoother and the color is closer to the original.

It was hard for him to imagine what occasions these emoticons, either funny or cool, would be suitable for. It seemed very strange no matter how he thought about it.

It would be fine if it was a celebrity. When he was in school, he saw many star-chasing classmates like to put stickers of their idols on their pencil cases. There is nothing strange about it.

But he is not a star.

Does he want his "fans" to say that he is a real NPC in the game when others ask "who is this"?

Ye Xuan imagined the scene.

It's so embarrassing.

In his impression, real-life NPCs are currently in an awkward position of "although they exist, they are not much different from not having them". The real-life NPCs of those big companies are not very popular either, and at most they are occasionally discussed in small circles.

Of course, maybe it’s because big companies’ games have too many highlights, and just adding a real-life NPC won’t make much of a splash.

And looking at him again, he can be called the core figure of the company.

Ye Xuan also overlooked one point: the reason why those "peers" are not famous may not be a problem with the company they belong to, but rather the difference in personal abilities.

In the eyes of his fans, he is undoubtedly the No. 1 most popular gaming character.

Traditional game modes lack characters played by real people, and even if the program is written completely, it is difficult to respond to players in a satisfactory way.

Those artificial idiots under the banner of "intelligent replies" have long been disliked by players, and the plots with fixed dialogues lack some novelty, and the game market is becoming saturated.

Shazhou Company, which first launched the holographic game mode, discovered this and, after careful consideration, set up the position of real-person NPC in response to user demand, which caused a sensation.

However, even the best professional actors would be at a loss when faced with this new product, so to this day, Shazhou’s real-life NPCs cannot be said to be the best in the industry.

Ye Xuan felt that he was very lucky. The real-life NPC had always been lukewarm, but he had become a top person in the industry thanks to his solid foundation in Youmeng and several coincidences.

Is this what they mean: as long as the career you choose is unpopular enough, you can become a leader in that industry?

He ignored the personal charm he showed in the game and attributed all the credit to the company and the environment.

He also thought that those fans who said they liked him were just fond of "Dream Travel" and it had little to do with his own work results.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Sister Lin saw this, but she didn't intend to point it out, and only said, "Fortunately, you are not really in the entertainment industry."

"What's wrong?" Ye Xuan had just finished editing a post to be posted on his personal account, which was part of his current job.

Sister Lin didn't want to say more: "It's nothing, just a casual expression of emotion, don't take it to heart."

After looking at someone, I realized that I lack a correct understanding of myself.

Recently, many versions of promotional plans for the surrounding products have been released, but they were all rejected for various reasons.

Ye Xuan thought it would be a good idea to let himself do the live broadcast promotion, after all, he was in charge of the company's live broadcasts in the past few times. However, he was declined at this meeting on the grounds that he "might seem to be bragging".

He just doesn't quite understand. Isn't the official peripheral product promotion just self-praise?

Do I need to hire someone to do it?

And why target him?

Just because he is the product material?

Ye Xuan was quite speechless, but it was difficult for him to change the leader's decision, so he just accepted it.

He is happy and relaxed without having to do live broadcast.

"Xiao Xuan, I think your idea is pretty good." Sister Lin noticed that the other party was a little depressed after the meeting, "But we have all seen the video of you promoting products in the game before..."

How should I put it? It’s not bad, the effect is indeed good, but I always feel that the focus has gone off track.

Sister Lin did not express her concerns directly, as this would have dampened the enthusiasm of the younger generation.

Ye Xuan’s way of selling products can be entertaining, but it cannot really let potential customers understand the product information.

Although these game peripherals are not practical items, they do not want people to buy them because they think they are novel and interesting, and then regret the purchase and return them due to impulse buying.

In their minds, game peripherals are precious things that bring the beauty of the game across the dimensional wall to their hands, not just following the trend or being impulsive.

They are the crystallization of countless emotions.

Ye Xuan’s chat about promoting products was rejected. He himself did not have much objection, but doubts arose on the forum.

Real NPC: Latest Peripherals [Popular]

1L LZ Have you all seen the new peripheral promotional pictures this time? I would like to make it clear in advance that I did not make a mistake.

2L I saw it! There are stickers of real NPC guys! I have my wallet ready!

The quality of 3L Youmeng’s peripherals is good. I have bought them several times and I recommend them.

4L La la la, there's something I can recommend to people around me, hahahahahahaha. That misty mountain scenery postcard is so pretty. How about putting a sticker on it and mailing it to a friend? After it arrives, I'll draw one in the building to give away!

5L Thank you, fourth floor~

6L You mentioned the lucky draw and I came uninvited!

7L LZ No, the content in this post goes against the original intention of my posting... Don’t you realize the problem?

The promotional pictures of 8L are pretty good, and there doesn’t seem to be any problem.

9L Are the stickers not enough? This is the official emoticon package, of course it is different from the one used in the competition.

10 LZ It’s not a product issue! It’s just a promotion, why aren’t there real NPCs in person?

11 The official store has professional salespersons. The lady’s explanation is very detailed. She introduces the product’s inspiration, materials, and applicable occasions clearly, and she is also very patient in answering comments!

12L LZ It's obviously his peripherals, does he need others to introduce it? Does Youmeng still want to sell it well?

13L What the OP said is a little too much. The guy seems to be quite thin-skinned. It must be a bit difficult to ask him to recommend his own emoticon package, right?

Ye Xuan felt that there was something wrong with the poster, but this was just his intuition and he could not hastily conclude the other party's intentions.

Perhaps, this is just my own "toxic fanaticism"?

He flipped through the posts again and forwarded the post that might provoke conflict between You Meng and the players to Sister Lin.

Sister Lin told him to be careful.

Since the situation on Wuming's side is not right, this forum cannot be said to be unsafe.
