The first copy

Zhaotian residence.

The two sat facing each other awkwardly. It was the first time Zhao Tian had stared into someone's eyes for so long, and he felt a little shy. He quickly stood up and sat in another seat.

Du Ming watched all of this silently.

The reason why he chose Zhao Tian was very simple. He was the simplest among this group of NPCs and was even easier to coax than Ergou.

"Teacher He, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Zhao Tian used Du Ming's new identity to address him, which seemed to be more intimate and seemed to ease a lot of awkwardness.

Du Ming was a little slow to react when he suddenly heard this name.

Teacher He...Yes, his current identity is He Song.

He Song is Zhaotian's math teacher, and the fake Du Ming is a substitute teacher. The two met at work, got to know each other, and fell in love. This is the existing background.

"Zhaotian." Du Ming called him.

"?"

"I need your help."

Zhao Tian was somewhat reluctant, "What kind of help?" This was a test for Du Ming, and as an NPC, he did not want to help the other party pass the level.

Before he could refuse, the man in front of him suddenly changed his expression. His already tall and slightly fierce face revealed his ruthlessness at this moment.

Du Ming said sinisterly: "I'm going to kill you!"

Zhao Tian was shocked, and tears flowed unconsciously the next second.

[Warning: Zhao Tian is frightened by your threats, and his malicious value has reached 100,000.]

[Hint: You are only fierce on the surface, your malice value has reached 1,000.]

"You were lying to me, right?" Zhao Tian's face showed fear as he backed away.

Du Ming walked straight forward, grabbed the other person's shoulders, and was about to increase his strength to continue to scare the other person when he saw the NPC's big watery eyes, like the blue wavy flowers in the comics.

But there is clearly fear and anxiety hidden in the little flower.

Ah... this is the awful feeling of bullying a kid.

Du Ming couldn't act anymore, his expression softened, his aura subdued, and he half-knelt down. He took out a few tissues from the coffee table next to him and handed them to the other person to wipe his face.

"Are you that scared?"

Zhao Tian burst into tears, "I hate you."

"Okay, okay." Du Ming wanted to say something to comfort her, but what came out of his mouth turned out to be, "I did it on purpose."

"I just wanted to scare you."

"Let's do an experiment."

And so on.

Just when he was feeling a little upset, Zhaotian burst into laughter.

Du Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The young NPC was also a little embarrassed because of his crying. He hesitated for a long time before saying, "Actually, you are a good person."

“???” Du Ming was a little confused.

Zhao Tian: "Do you know why everyone was so afraid of you when you first arrived?"

"Because I beat Liu Xiaoyan." He knew this.

"That's part of the reason." Zhao Tian shook his head. "Although I haven't experienced that kind of thing, I've heard of it. When the game first came out, the relationship between NPCs and players was far from as peaceful as it is now.

"Many powerful players, upon entering the game, would first seize an NPC and coerce them into revealing cheat codes, even if the NPC genuinely didn't know and wouldn't believe them. It wasn't until the current master took over that things started to change."

"So, you really thought I wanted to kill you just now?" Du Ming took over and apologized to the other party.

The fake intimidation came to nothing.

Du Ming didn't plan to scare the child anymore. The few small hints he had received in the previous process were enough.

Just as he was about to leave, Du Ming was stopped by Zhao Tian.

The child blushed a little, but still asked seriously: "So...is there anything I can do to help you?" He was really scared, but the other party chose to stop in that situation just now, which was enough to show his character.

Zhaotian wanted to help the other party.

Du Ming was a little surprised: "Are you really willing to help me?"

Zhaotian nodded.

After confirming that the boy really wanted to help, Du Ming hurried over and whispered.

The NPC who was listening attentively obviously didn't expect there was such a method. His eyes widened and widened, and finally he said in admiration, "You are really amazing."

Someone accepted the compliment with great shamelessness.

After making an agreement with Zhaotian smoothly, Du Ming went home.

When I got home, someone was still lying on the sofa watching TV, laughing so hard that he was shaking.

Du Ming leaned over to take a look. It was a melodramatic drama about a wealthy family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The TV was showing a crucial scene where the vicious mother-in-law bullied her weak daughter-in-law.

This should be an infuriating place, but someone is so happy about it.

Is this what they call a vicious mother-in-law?

Putting down the cake, Du Ming said hello to everyone and said, "I brought you a strawberry-flavored cake."

The devil seemed to have just noticed that he was back. He rested his head on the pillow and said with a smile, "Brother, where did you go just now?"

I thought Du Ming would avoid the question, but I didn't expect him to be so blunt. "I went to Zhao Tian and discussed some things."

"Oh." The devil stopped asking questions and began to unwrap his own cake.

As long as you know that the other party has started to take action, the rest...the surprise should of course be saved for last.

Fresh and juicy strawberries are cut into small pieces and spread on the top layer, which is sweet and sour and delicious. Below is the soft cake base and white cream. The mix together is refreshing and not greasy.

Du Ming glanced at the other person's greedy look, shook his head and went to the kitchen to prepare something delicious.

For the rest of the time, except for necessary outings, the two of them spent most of their time in the room.

During this period, Du Ming contacted other NPCs via text messages.

The devil didn't mind it, and just like that, three days passed by in a flash, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of the blind date party.

The devil who always slept in got up early that day, dressed himself up and went out.

As agreed, the blind date party was held in a cafe not far from the community.

When the Demon King left, Du Ming was still eating breakfast. Seeing him leave, he only said, "The blind date went well."

The devil laughed and the door closed automatically.

With a flash of demonic energy, the man appeared in the coffee shop, and sitting opposite him was a dark shadow.

If the dungeon went on normally, the person sitting opposite him should be his blind date, but the other person couldn't stand the pressure and could only transform into a black shadow from the dungeon core to participate in the question-and-answer session.

The entire blind date process is very simple: the blind date partner asks ten questions, and the player is not allowed to avoid the questions or hesitate to answer for more than 30 seconds. If more than three answers are wrong, the player will be considered to have failed.

As the incarnation of the core, Sombra is very mechanical.

As soon as someone took a seat, he started asking questions.

"I heard that families with loving parents are happier. Question: Do your parents have a good relationship?"

This kind of question doesn't require any thought.

"good."

"Wrong answer."

Demon King: “?!!”

The shadow was emotionless. "People on blind dates always like to ask your neighbors about you through their connections. Neighborly relationships are especially important at this time. Based on your understanding of the old lady next door, I'm asking, is she in good health lately?"

The first few questions were all easy points by default. If the previous one hadn't been wrong, the devil wouldn't even hesitate.

"Yes."

"Wrong answer."

“!!!” This time he was really shocked.

The core was about to ask a question, but a stream of evil energy suddenly rushed in and stuck it in place.

Without allowing him to ask any more questions, the Demon King waved his hand, and demonic energy surged, causing the black shadow to change shape, and finally condensed into a mirror, which showed what Du Ming had done in recent days.

In the mirror, Du Ming chatted with everyone, and then scenes appeared of a cheap couple going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce, and an old lady taking a shower more than ten times in one night.

A couple with a good relationship will not divorce. The old lady caught a cold and had a fever from taking a shower, so she is certainly not in good health.

The criteria for judging the copy are very simple, so it is natural to determine that the answer is wrong.

Seeing this, the devil was stunned, and it took him a while before he chuckled softly.

With a wave of his hand, all the NPCs appeared before him. Seeing their anxious faces, the Demon King asked, "What benefits did he give you?"

Everyone pushed each other, and finally Zhao Tian came out. "Sir, Du Ming said he would introduce many players to us."

Although Zhao Tian really wanted to help Du Ming, not every NPC is so kind.

Du Ming also knew this, and when Zhao Tian contacted the others, he offered to help them find more players with guaranteed good character.

If a copy wants to exist for a long time, players are an important part of its operation.

'No Lying' is a single-player dungeon, with only one player entering at a time. Frequent entry of badly behaved players can be a major nuisance for the NPCs, especially if these NPCs have low combat power.

Du Ming's suggestion impressed many NPCs, and they decided to change his identity information.

Zhao Tian looked at the adult's expression and added weakly, "Du Ming said that you wouldn't get angry with us over such a small matter."

For NPCs, this is also a gamble.

Fortunately, the ending was really good. The Demon King was magnanimous and did not bother with the soldiers. With a wave of his hand, everyone went back.

Du Ming, who was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, had just swallowed the last wonton when he heard the copy prompt sound as he wished.

[Instance: Congratulations to the player for clearing the "No Lying" single-player instance. Rewards are now being calculated.]

[Settlement 1: Du Ming successfully cleared the dungeon, and was awarded 500 clearance points.]

[Settlement 2: Du Ming successfully cleared the hidden dungeon and was awarded 5,000 clearance points.]

[Result 3: Du Ming becomes the first player to clear 'No Lying', reward...]

...

Various rewards were distributed, including points for passing levels, as well as some clothing and food cards, which could be placed in the personal space and taken out directly. What made him happy was yet to come.

The copy rewarded Du Ming with a hundred-pill, the attribute description of which said that it could cure a hundred minor ailments, including colds and fevers.

As soon as he leaves the copy, he will change back into Young Master Du's body. These hundred pills are exactly what he urgently needs.

Du Ming was thinking about the things in his hand and was feeling satisfied when he felt a chill in his ears.

"We'll see each other again."

The cold and chilling words gave Du Ming goosebumps.

The next second, he was kicked out of the dungeon.
