Chapter 128 Mystery is mysterious in every aspect
The next morning, Ye Xuan came to the company and found that nothing had happened.
Fortunately, the situation did not get worse. It is said that thanks to his timely reporting, the prank that might have spread was stopped.
The user who first proposed the idea and the user who called on other players on a large scale were punished by having their accounts banned for one month, which is considered a light punishment.
If You Meng really took this matter seriously, he would definitely call the police and file a lawsuit, but considering that they were players of his own game, he decided to let them go.
Ye Xuan had nothing to say about the final punishment. Although he was the one being punished, he did not have much say.
Besides, he was just scared and it didn't really cause any harm to him. In fact, the scary part was just something he made up in his imagination.
The matter ended just like that, and those people also publicly apologized on the Internet, serving as a warning to others who were eager to make a move.
The overall success was pretty good, and several game companies that released holographic games were relieved.
It's great to be able to get back into the game without any psychological burden.
Ye Xuan, who was forced to do nothing during nearly a whole day of work, missed the fulfillment of being a real NPC in "Dream Travel".
He lay down in the game cabin and closed his eyes contentedly.
…
Since no players from the plot dungeon came, Ye Xing could only wander around outside.
He was bullied yesterday when he was outside the dungeon. At this moment, he would rather take a temporary task than hang around anymore.
As luck would have it, the system seemed to have seen through his thoughts and assigned him a new task according to his wishes.
"Employee '325074' has triggered the task conditions and is being assigned related tasks."
The system prompt sounded, which caught his attention.
Wait, how did he trigger the condition again?
Is this system deceiving him?
As if he could really understand what the other person was thinking, after Ye Xuan asked the question in his mind, the manhole cover under his feet flashed and a sign of a mission point appeared.
No wonder people say not to step on manhole covers. It is indeed unsafe to step on manhole covers.
There was no choice but to open the "Real Person NPC Task Manual" to check the task details.
Ye Xuan clicked on the manual icon and found only a few words in it: You are a mysterious person living in the sewer.
Oh, he is really mysterious, so mysterious that even he himself doesn’t know who he is.
No, who came up with this kind of character?
He always felt that sooner or later he would go to the Planning Department to seek revenge.
Day by day, you just remember to punish him, right?
This real-life NPC believes that compared to the pranks that players may not be able to pull off in a long time, the sinister intentions of the planners are what the real-life NPC industry should guard against most.
We can never be on guard against our own people.
He closed the manual interface, looked at the manhole cover that had automatically opened a crack as if silently inviting him, and sighed.
What a miserable life! In the game, I have to live in the sewer.
After lifting the manhole cover with great disgust, he sneaked in like a thief stealing a manhole cover.
Wow, this is so embarrassing. Fortunately there are no players nearby, otherwise where would he put his face as the “No. 1 real NPC”?
After going down into the sewer, he found that it was not smelly at all, so much so that he withdrew his hand that was about to adjust the smell index.
Hey, this place seems quite clean. What kind of sewer is this?
Also, when you enter the game, you can't choose the map by yourself like other players, it is random every time.
So this time he had no idea where he was randomly taken.
He walked a few steps in the sewer, looking at the water rushing underground, and found it to be somewhat clear.
Could these be sewage?
This place is completely different from the sewer he imagined. No wonder this "mysterious man" lives here.
The living environment is okay.
After walking for a while, he found a place similar to a "camp" where a small tent was set up and all kinds of pots, pans, and utensils were available.
Wow, they really treat the sewer as their home.
He quickened his pace and walked over, but encountered an obstacle halfway... a rat.
A fat rat was staring at him hungrily.
It's obviously just a mouse, but it acts like a "roadblock".
Although the mouse looked very fierce, it was not a real tiger, so he was not afraid of it.
Ye Xuan also boosted his morale, walked towards his "home" with his head held high, and ignored the mouse's gaze.
It goes without saying that this is short-sighted.
However, when it was about to pass over the mouse, the mouse suddenly opened its mouth wide, revealing a pair of extremely long and sharp teeth!
He stared at the long fangs that were as sharp as daggers, and sighed inwardly: Is this the real purpose that has been exposed?
How come this mouse still has a weapon hidden in its mouth?
Moreover, in the dim light of the sewer, he seemed to see a green glow on the pair of sharp teeth.
Could it be that there is poison on it?
No, if the poison was applied, the mouse probably wouldn't survive.
So, it might be the toxin that comes with it.
Before Ye Xuan could figure out why rat teeth were poisonous, he saw the rat swinging its tail.
But his tail was clearly not the pink fleshy tail of an ordinary mouse, but a scorpion tail that could sting people!
What kind of creature is this?!
He looked at the stitched monster in front of him in shock and felt that this sewer was indeed unusual.
It’s so bizarre…
After being forced to live in the sewers, they encounter rats that aren't exactly rats.
The rat pounced on him, opened its mouth wide to bite him, and swung its scorpion tail at him!
Ye Xuan, who had already accepted the character's personality, reacted quickly, took out a weapon from his pocket very skillfully and hit the mouse directly.
The huge rat was slapped away by him and fell flat on the wall with a "pa" sound, and its scorpion tail drooped weakly.
One strike decides victory!
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this "mysterious man" was pretty good.
With this reaction speed and strength, he must be either a special forces soldier or a special agent, right?
The first thing he thought of was the movies he had watched recently.
But when he lowered his head to carefully study the magical weapon, he was stunned again.
This, perhaps, is a table tennis racket?
He looked at it again and again carefully in the dim light of the sewer, pondering it over and over again.
It has been confirmed that this is just an ordinary table tennis racket, not a weapon with hidden secrets.
This guy is so strong that he can beat that weird creature with just a racket.
That mutant-like mouse was not light at all. It was embedded into the wall after being hit.
Ye Xuan swung the racket a few times and it was easy for him.
The character this time won’t be an athlete, right?
He felt his own condition and found that he was full of energy and could kill another 300 mice.
Well, what a strong physique.
However, I don’t know if he was unlucky today or what, but it seemed like his thoughts were out of control.
Just when he was about to "get home", a large group of rats suddenly jumped out.
Each of them looks different, with different features from eyes to ears to nose to mouth to legs.
He could fight off a single strange rat, but a group of them...
Ye Xuan decisively chose to run away and escaped away from the rat group.
After the rat infestation subsided, he returned here again, only to find that his "home" had been emptied.
It was empty, everything was gone, not even the tent frame was left.
Ahhh, these rats are not thieves at all, they are clearly robbers, robbers!
He was furious, but he could only look at the "camp ruins" in frustration.
He can't live in this sewer anymore.
Unless he wants to survive in the wilderness here.
However, Robinson Crusoe got a lot of equipment when he drifted to the desert island, but now he has almost nothing.
He was completely destitute! He didn't even have a penny in his pocket!
All plans to buy some equipment were rejected by reality!
He felt that his life was really not easy. Did his colleagues in the planning department hate him?
Even if you hate him to the core, there's no need to keep bullying him.
If he couldn't beat the mouse at the beginning, then he would just admit defeat and there was no need to be angry or sad.
But he clearly had some strength, but not that much, so he could only be crushed by them due to their numerical advantage.
Even the rats in the sewers bullied him.
Is this "mysterious man" even worse than a gutter rat?
He shook his head and could only sigh.
well--
He himself is not clear about the identity of this character.
Even that athlete was just guessing.
What serious athlete would live in a sewer?
No, it should be said, what decent person would live in a sewer?
Even if you have nowhere to go and still feel it's unsafe under the bridge tunnel along the river, you can always sleep on the ground under the pedestrian overpass.
Oh, it seems that it is not allowed now for the sake of the city appearance.
In short, he didn't believe that he had nowhere to go except the sewer.
He packed up his only remaining possession - a ping-pong racket - and began to find a way to return to the ground.
At that time, he jumped down because there was no ladder here.
So the question is, how can he get back to the ground without a ladder?
Ye Xuan lowered his head and thought for a while.
Hmm, no idea.
Otherwise, just let it die here.
He has tried his best, so it's not like he's just getting paid for nothing.
Ye Xuan, who was just thinking yesterday that working in the game was very enjoyable and he didn't want to stay in the real office, is now preparing to slack off in the game again.
And it's real slacking.
He looked at the water below. It was not only clear and odorless, but there were also several fish swimming in it.
How can there be such leisurely fish in such a fast-flowing water?
After being intrigued by the fishes, he planned to hook them with the hook as well.
This is how there is give and take.
Ye Xuan took out a fishing rod from the store and started fishing.
People always say that fishing is a good way to relax and have fun, but he himself has never tried it.
When the school organized an autumn outing in the past, they did take them fishing, but he just watched from the side and didn't do it himself.
This time, he had the chance, so he decided to go fishing.
Moreover, the fishing rods in this store are absolutely sure to hit the target, and there will never be the embarrassing phenomenon of "empty shot".
However, he didn't expect that there were more than just rats in this sewer that were different from ordinary rats.
So do fish.
