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 87: How about a new haircut?

Chapter 87: How about a new haircut?

After just a few days of practice, it was obvious to the naked eye that Ye Xuan's acting skills had not improved at all.

In fact, for him, this level of acting skills is enough. After all, players come to play games, not interactive movies.

But the magazine obviously doesn't think so. The reason they invited Ye Xuan to be interviewed is because he is a phenomenal real-life NPC, which is very different from people's previous impression of this profession.

Although there are not many people in this industry at present.

In this context, Ye Xuan can be said to be the light of the industry.

"Xiao Xuan, you're going to the magazine office tomorrow. The way you look now... you're still a little lacking in quality to be published." Sister Lin looked Ye Xuan up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, giving him goose bumps.

He looked down at himself and asked in confusion: "What does it feel like?"

He is not a real big star, so why should he care so much about his clothes and appearance?

"No, no, I still have to give you a hairstyle." Sister Lin believes that appearing on "Youwan·Wanyou" is the most important thing for the company at this stage, and everyone should take it seriously. "I'll contact Xiao Liu. Her hairstyling skills are not inferior to Tony at the barber shop next to the company."

Ye Xuan knew who this "master hairdresser" she was talking about. She was someone that his group of small employees usually tried to avoid - Sister Liu from the Propaganda Department.

Sister Liu is a kind person, but she has one major hobby in life, which is to design hairstyles for people.

However, many of her colleagues could not accept the avant-garde designs she created.

So, she targeted the young men who had just joined the company and succeeded in cheating them.

Which naive girl or boy in Youmeng has not been fooled by Sister Liu’s words “free haircut, tailor-made”?

But Sister Liu’s elaborate design…I really can’t give you any compliments.

Ye Xuan recalled the hat that Xiao Qian had silently put on half a month ago, and his heart sank.

It's over, his hair is gone.

"Well," he said cautiously, "Sister Lin, I suddenly feel that what you said makes sense. I have to do the hairstyle, but I won't bother Sister Liu. I can go to the barber shop to do it myself."

After he finished speaking, he still felt it was not enough, so he gritted his teeth and added: "I will pay for it myself."

Sister Lin looked at him innocently: "But, I've already told Xiao Liu, and she agreed right away. It's not good to refuse now, right?"

Ye Xuan took a deep breath. He didn't expect Sister Lin to be so efficient in this area.

That's not the case when he gets his quarterly bonus.

The Propaganda Department’s office was not far from Ye Xuan. Less than three minutes after Sister Lin sent the message, Sister Liu came with her own “equipment”.

"Hey, Xiaoye's hair is so long, why don't you cut it?" Sister Liu is quite outgoing. Even though she and Yexuan have only met a few times, they are still very familiar with each other. "Is it for you, sister?"

Ye Xuan didn't know how to respond, so he could only give an awkward but polite smile.

A fake smile in the workplace, with a stiff face while smiling, is not much better than crying.

Sister Liu's enthusiasm for hairdressing was not repelled by the other party's silent resistance. Instead, she began to think about how to design a unique look suitable for publication.

Although it is not a fashion magazine, makeup and hair cannot be ignored, she has an important responsibility!

Ye Xing understood that the haircut was irreversible, so he had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.

Hair can grow again, yeah, it's okay.

After the haircut, Ye Xing opened his eyes nervously, only to see the two people in front of him looking at him with a gratified look.

With shaking hands, he took out his phone and took a picture - it turned out to be a pretty good hairstyle?!

Sister Liu, did you go to get your hair done without telling the whole company?

Sister Lin didn't say that she couldn't stand it anymore when Xiao Liu was halfway through, so she secretly contacted Tony, who was no more than 50 meters away from them, to come and help.

After all, they have to be interviewed by "Youwan·Wanyou", but they represent the reputation of Youmeng and the aesthetics of the god-level magazine, so they cannot be careless.

After the incident, she looked at the payment record on her mobile phone without saying a word, keeping her credit to herself.

Today, she saved the precious hair of a young man with a promising future.

Sister Liu was a little unhappy that her spell was interrupted, but she didn't know what to say.

No matter what, Sister Lin is a leader, and she is not someone a small employee in the Propaganda Department can criticize at will.

Ye Xuan looked at his own appearance on the black screen of his phone, but was worried that he couldn't see clearly, so he turned on the front camera of his phone.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed possible.

He hadn't had his hair cut for a while, so he trimmed his long bangs and pinned them with a small clip, making him look fresh.

The hairstyle that was about to be ruined by the enthusiastic Sister Liu was saved by Teacher Tony's miraculous hands and was now trimmed into a very photogenic look.

"This hairpin..." Ye Xing reached out and fiddled with this thing he had never worn before, but ended up pulling his hair, which was a little painful.

In the past, several boys and girls in his class occasionally wore hairpins, but he couldn't appreciate what was good about them.

"Isn't it nice?" Sister Lin snorted proudly, "I specially customized it for you. Since you are going to show your face in front of the public, it must be memorable."

For this purpose, she specially asked someone to design a hairpin in the shape of a cartoon Mars, waiting for the day when it would come in handy!

Ye Xuan had learned his lesson and gently tapped the little planet above his head: "Is this Mars?"

Orange-red, very cute.

"Of course, it's designed specially for you. Are you touched?" Sister Lin praised her own creativity in her heart.

Ah, she is such a humane boss.

Ye Xuan lightly touched the small hairpin that hurt her scalp when touched.

Dare not move, dare not move.

However, he also felt Sister Lin's kindness, and her dedication to this extent was not just for work.

So he thanked her sincerely, without noticing Sister Liu leaving alone and dejected.

After using scraping therapy to detoxify, the patients in Treatment Room 2 can basically be said to have recovered.

However, outdoor testing is still necessary to detect the effectiveness of treatment and whether there are any sequelae, and the hospital's repeated attempts to touch their bottom line are really annoying.

"Please make a report to your leader and let the higher-ups take care of it." Ye Xing said to the captain rather weakly. Today he once again caught a researcher from Lin City who tried to sneak into the treatment room, but the other party still refused to admit it.

In fact, he could see the character notes above the heads of the characters in the script, and no one could hide it from him no matter how they pretended.

Other things are fine, but the captain can't easily agree to this matter.

Asking people from the neighboring research institute to come to the rescue was the decision of the city's top leader. When the old man gets angry, it is useless for ordinary people to persuade him.

Once, her boss's boss discovered a mistake made by the senior leader, but was scolded after pointing it out.

Besides, it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away. When those people from Linshi came, they were so glorious and they don’t want to be "returned" by others.

This is a difficult matter for anyone to mention.

Ye Xing didn't understand the captain's difficulties, so he took things for granted.

This is just a game. How can games be so complicated and confusing? Can't it be more straightforward?

The planning department used their works to tell him that it was not possible.

"They came here with good intentions. We can't let them go home without seeing results." Although the captain was disgusted by the actions of the old dean and his group after several times, she was in this position and knew what to say and what not to say.

Ye Xuan muttered quietly, "If the goods you buy are not what you ordered, you can return them. What else have they done besides causing trouble for us? And their original intentions are not as righteous as they seem."

He sees through the old dean and his people.

"Relax, at least now we are the most popular one among the people." The captain is not like Xiao Qin, who has been without Internet access for years. She saw many comments supporting traditional Chinese medicine and the search team on the local forum, and was in a very good mood.

Work is going smoothly, there is hope for promotion, the infected people's condition is improving, and the city's safety has been resolved. It's great.

Ye Xuan looked at the story mission progress bar that appeared at some point in time. Victory was in sight, and he... was happy for the players!

This script is too long and too complicated. After completing the task, he needs to find an opportunity to take a long vacation!

"Senior, the patients in treatment room No. 1 are now basically in a stable condition. Can we also perform scraping treatment on them?" Xiao Qin looked excited and even jogged over, which was a rare occurrence.

The original treatment room is now called "No. 1". The patients inside were those whose treatments were ineffective and were sent in later. After the addition of new drugs, they miraculously recovered quickly.

Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow. This was an unexpected surprise. "Very good. We can proceed to the next stage of treatment."

A long vacation beckoned him.

"It's better to be safe," the captain frowned as he thought of something, "There are a few people in the team who are not doing well recently. I suspect it's -"

She looked around and realized that this was not a good place to talk, so she stopped talking in time.

Xiao Qin didn't care much about these things, but Ye Xuan's appetite was indeed whetted.

Ye Xuan pointed to his cell phone, signaling the other party to send him a message.

The captain pulled him to an angle where the surveillance camera could not capture the phone screen, sent a message, and immediately deleted it after the other party read it.

Captain: I suspect there is a traitor in the team.

[The captain withdrew a message]

Captain: And he may have a complicated background, which is hard to investigate and even harder to tell others.

[The captain withdrew a message]

I read a few of them, but before I could reply, I was blocked by system prompts after they were withdrawn.

Therefore, perhaps some members of the search team were bribed by outsiders, and there were more than one person.

Who came up with this script? Aren’t you afraid of being scolded by players?

Ye Xuan signaled to the captain that he understood, and then led Xiao Qin away.

If even this place can't be said to be absolutely safe, where else can he move to?

If those people in Lin City have such ability, why are they still doing scientific research?

Not only can he not do his proper job well, but he also encounters a lot of unexpected problems.

That’s right, even if the captain didn’t say it explicitly, Ye Xuan could roughly guess who was behind it.

After all, the only "villains" who are against them in this script are the people from the Linshi Research Institute.

Looking at Xiao Qin's naive look, Ye Xing couldn't bear to tell him.

When he was only a teenager, he planned to devote his life to scientific research.

It would be a huge blow to him if he knew that there were these people in the scientific research community which he thought was a pure land.
