Chapter 9 Dormitory I have a guess

This live broadcast brought some popularity to Youmeng, and the company decided to strike while the iron is hot and publicize the real-life NPC in advance so that it can also attract some players.

But now the popularity on the Internet comes and goes quickly. Within a day, the live broadcast incident that had only caused a small splash had calmed down. It is estimated that except for Youmeng's original players and the fans of the anchor, few people can remember this incident, let alone use this gimmick to hype it up.

But is Ye Xing's popularity just because he is a real NPC? Actually, it's not. You can tell from the posts he browsed.

Special section: Who is this real NPC? [Popular]

1L LZ Tonight I casually opened a game live broadcast at home, and found that the game played by the anchor was actually our so cold dream... I quickly made a pack of instant noodles and started to study the anchor's plot clearance method...

2L So, did Luzhu deviate from the topic? What does this have to do with real NPCs? If it were an essay, half of the points would be gone!

The front row of 3L sells melon seeds, drinks and instant noodles. Hey, is the poster eating braised beef or pickled cabbage?

4L LZ Fresh Shrimp and Fish Pan Noodles... No, this is even more biased, okay?! The key point is that the anchor met a real NPC!

5L Wait a minute, I think I saw the live broadcast you mentioned. Let's check, is that real NPC messaging the player character?

6L So, maybe I have a screenshot of him?

Is this the person the host is looking for?

7L LZ It’s him, it’s him, it’s him…

8L Our friend, little Nezha?

9L The upstairs building shows its age.

10L LZ The point is, he is too confused, okay? 6L Do you have any pictures? The OP was so dumbfounded at the time (laughing) that he even spilled half a bowl of instant noodles, and didn’t have time to take a screenshot…

11L I am 6L, I came with pictures!

12L Middle-aged and elderly expression pack? What a ruthless person, he caused more than 10,000 damage to the weak, pitiful and helpless Omega young master!

13L I see this emoticon pack every day in the family group. It is really heartwarming and perfect for comforting people (dog head).

…

Ye Xuan wanted to say that the emoticons were not his problem. What could he do about an emoticon pack? He couldn't just draw one and send it to others, right? Besides, the plot point was not the focus in that part. It was just a transition at most. Why did everyone complain about him? Isn't the player character's troubles worth your concern?

After browsing the forum, it was even later. A normal person would have to go to the hospital in less than a month if they slept in the game cabin. The interviewer was just joking at that time, but now he took the initiative to come and take Yexuan to move to the dormitory.

"Just tell us if you're not used to living here. How about staying in the game? You've experienced the immersive gaming cabin, right? Think about it..." The interviewer was still selling games. It seemed that he entered the industry because of his love for games.

But that’s not the case with Ye Xuan. To him, it’s just a job, nothing special. Working hard is just like how he studied hard in all those years. He just follows the rules and does his best.

The dormitory was actually a single room. Although the room was smaller than the house Ye Xuan rented after graduation, it was enough for him to live in. Although it was an old residential building, it was close to the company and convenient for work. It had simple furniture and could be said to be "small but complete", so he was quite satisfied.

The interviewer stood at the door, watching Ye Xuan pack his few belongings: "How is it? Can I stay here?"

"Of course, I'm going to rest, you should go back and rest early too." Ye Xuan looked around the pen room and found it wasn't too dirty, so he could clean it tomorrow.

The interviewer smiled and said, "Very good, young people have strong adaptability. Don't worry, those rumors are all made up."

What, rumors?

It can’t be an “urban legend”...

Ye Xuan watched the interviewer leave while he was still talking. His hands were shaking as he closed the door. He was scared.

There should be other employees from the same company here. Should we ask them?

No, before I came here, Sister Lin told me to try not to "provoke" other colleagues, especially programmers.

As luck would have it, Ye Xing lived in the last room on the fourth floor. The room next door was a four-person room, which was occupied by a programmer who was mainly responsible for the forum.

Ye Xing's single room was "partitioned". When the house was originally built, no one planned to build such a small room. Later, they found that there was an error in the drawings, so they made the best of it and partitioned off a room to make a dormitory. The basic facilities were not missing, but...

Ye Xuan didn't dare to think about it too much. He simply made the bed, pulled the quilt over him and fell asleep.

…

"Hey, you're here to catch up on your sleep so early in the morning." Sister Lin looked at Ye Xing holding a big meat bun and lying down in the cabin. The dark circles under his eyes were very eye-catching. "Did you not get enough rest in bed? Don't eat breakfast while lying down, and don't eat in the game cabin. This thing is very delicate. It will be difficult to repair it if it breaks down."

It’s already difficult enough. Having nightmares all night long is worse than not sleeping.

“Sister, please don’t hide it from me, okay? Is there something wrong where I live—” A strange story happened.

Sister Lin put away her smile and said seriously, "Xiao Xuan, don't listen to what they say. If you believe it, it's true. If you don't believe it, it's not true. You'd better not know anything. Just listen to me."

Isn't this aggravating? Is this comforting?

"I hope you can work hard and live a good life." Sister Lin looked very sincere, especially when she said the word "work".

"Got it. You go and do your work first, sister." Ye Xuan swallowed the last bite of the bun skin in one gulp. As expected, the bun that she couldn't bite into had no filling in the last bite.

Ye Xuan was lying in the cabin looking at the lights reflected on the translucent cabin door. It was so unreal that he actually had a job playing an NPC in a game. How long would this kind of life last?

Forget it, time to enter the game.

…

It was already daybreak, and it seemed that the time in the game was indeed synchronized with the real world. Ye Xing glanced at the message sent by the player character in the communication software half an hour ago, and estimated that the other party would be arriving soon.

In fact, one doesn't have to come early to have surgery here, as the doctors haven't come to work yet. It seems like he is living in the medical institution, otherwise it doesn't explain why he stayed here last night.

The young Omega knocked on the door before entering this time, a little more reserved than the first time: "Hello, teacher—"

Ye Xuan listened to the other party's long-drawn greeting and thought for a moment that he had not graduated yet and was "unexpectedly meeting" his mentor on campus and greeted him politely.

Well, you are different every day, you are worthy of it.

"Come in and sit down. I'll get you a glass of water." Ye Xuan originally wanted to make a cup of tea, but considering that this delicate and soft Omega could only drink milk tea, he had to prepare boiled water that everyone in the country could drink.

"No need to bother." The young Omega took out a paper handkerchief and wiped the chair several times, his expression showing his disdain. Then he sat down, but he only sat in a small area at the front, not even daring to touch the backrest.

Ye Xuan poured himself some water, drank it in a few gulps, pulled his stool out from behind the information desk, and sat in front of the Omega.

"Tell me, what do you think about the surgery? The risks are greater than what is advertised. If something happens to that friend who told you, go find him. We can't afford it." He shirked a lot of responsibility in just a few words, and Ye Xing felt that the other person's face suddenly turned even paler.

"I thought about it again and again," a few tears hung on the Omega's delicate cheeks, "I know I did this in a fit of anger, but I have no choice. My friend said that this is the only way I can find."

Putting aside the fact that "causing irreparable lifelong damage to one's own body" is not a "way" to solve the problem, this "friend" who only appeared twice is very strange, okay?

Ye Xuan picked up a bag of candy from the consultation table and chewed it: "Well, you said last time that your friend suggested that you come to us for surgery, and said that this was the 'only way'. You two have a very good relationship?"

Ye Xuan didn’t know how to describe this feeling. He had a hunch that something was wrong. If it were him, he probably wouldn’t have made such a “friend”.

The other party nodded: "Of course, we have known each other since childhood, and I trust him the most."

Knowing him since childhood... and being connected to the young Omega's family, the feeling of disharmony became even stronger. Since he was (forced to) bear the title of "teacher", he couldn't be careless about his students.

"So, your family conditions are similar?" Neighbors in a wealthy area?

"Yeah," the Omega smiled sweetly when recalling his friend, as if the past was a cloud of cotton candy that floated away, "He lived across from me. We went to school and went home together since we were young, went out together, and even went for that physical examination together."

The neighbor across the street. Ye Xuan guessed that the rich kids like them should have someone to pick them up and drop them off at school, which was not comparable to riding bicycles with classmates in the past. And the so-called "that physical examination" might refer to the physical examination for differentiation, and then judge according to the marriage partner...

"Is your friend an Omega or a Beta?" Ye Xuan asked tentatively.

"We are both Omegas, and his inhibitor has the same scent as mine." The young Omega regarded his friends as treasures, and there was light in his eyes when he spoke.

"No offense," Ye Xing knew that saying this was a bit offensive. After all, it was very rude to speculate on other people's sexual orientation. "Are you gay? Sorry, I just think you are too..."

Ye Xuan didn't know what to say next. He looked at the other person anxiously and subconsciously moved the cup on the small table farther away to prevent it from being thrown at him.

“If that’s the way it is…” A blush appeared on the Omega’s fair face.

I am increasingly curious about who the plot planner is.jpg

It seems that some people do have their reasons for their choices, and what seems absurd to others may be that person's last struggle.

Ye Xuan sighed. He still had a long way to go on the road of being a real-life NPC, and the road of emotional counseling was also destined to be bumpy.
