Chapter 17 Fostering Maybe He’s a Good Person?
Ye Xuan led Xiao Xue through a forest path. Although the mountain road was still uneven, at least there were no traps set by the Blood Hunter.
This side of the Misty Mountain is sparsely populated. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, the only sounds you can hear are the chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects.
There is a village at the foot of the mountain, a church halfway up the mountain, and even a vampire castle on the top of the mountain. So why is this place so deserted?
Even though Ye Xuan had invisible clothing to help him walk, he still broke off a branch to use as a crutch to pretend to be walking.
The vampire child forgot the previous lesson and continued to jump around and refused to walk properly.
This mountain road must have been walked on by people on weekdays, as the weeds did not cover the winding path.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Ye Xing first saw a small house not far away and reminded Xiao Xue, who had been chattering all the way, to quiet down.
This kid usually doesn't talk much, probably because he's nervous. He spouted out a string of incoherent sentences, and the real NPC had to respond with a few sentences.
The door of the cabin was closed, and they couldn't see if anyone lived inside.
The priest straightened his robes, and after the vampire confirmed that there was nothing wrong with his appearance, he walked forward and knocked on the wooden door.
"Excuse me, is anyone here?" Ye Xing felt that the wooden door did not look very solid, so he did not dare to knock hard.
After waiting for about half a minute, no one came to open the door.
"Do I look like Snow White who just escaped from the hunter's clutches?" he said self-deprecatingly.
Maybe, he will find out later that the door is not locked, and the furnishings in the room are all small items, seven sets in total.
By the way, the number “seven” could also mean seven fairies or the Calabash Brothers.
Just as he was wandering somewhere in his mind, the door suddenly opened.
He was caught off guard and got startled.
"What's the matter?" The man, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, opened the wooden door completely and looked at Ye Xuan, who was so frightened that he stood there motionless.
Can't you say something like "I'm coming" before opening the door so that the person knocking can be mentally prepared?
Ye Xing was still in shock and slowly let out a breath.
"I'm the ranger of Misty Mountain," the man introduced himself. "Are you lost?"
Ye Xuan then remembered the purpose of his trip: "Hello, I am... a passerby. I am going to a very far place, and I have a child who is not convenient to bring with me. Can you take him in for a while? I am really sorry to bother you."
He was actually not good at lying like this, and he knew that his words were full of loopholes.
The man looked at the other person's clothes and said, "Aren't you from the church over the mountain?"
I've been discovered! Ye Xuan took a step back.
This person doesn't look simple.
The ranger looked at the other man's defensive look and found it funny: "Clothes."
Ye Xuan lowered his head to study the robes on his body. The game system would always give him the corresponding clothes for his role. Before he went out, he forgot to use the other clothes in the closet as a disguise. His appearance clearly revealed his identity, as if he was afraid that others would not be able to see through him.
He gathered his wide sleeves and rubbed the ground unconsciously with the thick soles of his boots, which he had changed into after stepping on the trap.
An awkward atmosphere quickly spread, and Ye Xing secretly thought that this plan might be ruined.
"Where is the child?" the ranger asked with a smile.
Eh? There's still a chance!
Ye Xuan waved his hand, and Xiaoxue, getting the hint, came out from behind the bushes and walked towards this side unsteadily.
"Come on, Xiaoxue, say hello." Ye Xuan looked like a parent who pressed his child's head and asked him to call people during a family gathering.
"Hello, hello." Xiaoxue lowered his head and said stiffly.
The ranger suddenly squatted down and looked up at the child's face: "Vampire."
It was just a simple sentence, not a question, and there was no surprise in it. I didn't hear clearly what he said and thought he was saying "hello".
Ye Xuan already thought that this forest ranger was no ordinary person, so it was not surprising that he revealed Xiaoxue's identity in one sentence.
The little vampire was actually quite frightened, and he didn't realize how obvious his bright red eyes were.
"The Holy Church wouldn't be 'colluding' with the vampires, would it?" It was still a statement, but Ye Xing was touched that the ranger didn't slam the door.
"No, the child was injured at the time and I felt sorry for him, so..." Ye Xuan hurriedly explained.
It was a personal act, not linked to the organization. The Holy Church was still in opposition to the Blood Clan, and it was not something he could resolve peacefully on his own.
The forest ranger's smile grew even wider: "The priest really has a 'holy heart'."
What should I do if I feel like I’m being ridiculed?
The real NPC didn't know how to respond, but the little vampire stood up.
Finally, the players finally understand that they are the protagonists of the game!
Ye Xing also stepped back a little to stand out from the players.
An excellent real-life NPC should give the "C position" to the player when it is time to serve as a foil.
He thought he had done a very good job and secretly imagined fake applause and flowers.
"I am very lucky that you are willing to take me in and help me heal my wounds." Xiaoxue first turned his head to look at the priest, then turned back to face the forest ranger and said, "I don't expect that everyone in the world is as good as you, but I got your help today. When I achieve something in the future, I will definitely repay you."
The forest ranger no longer cared about what he felt; he himself was moved.
The child is so well behaved, it was not in vain that I raised him!
"Do you think I'll take you in just for your 'repayment'?" The ranger put away the smile on his face.
Xiaoxue panicked: "That's not what I meant, I, I..."
He had never encountered such a situation before, so he turned to the gentleman for help.
"Do I have this kind of experience?" Ye Xing responded to him with his eyes.
Obviously, the tacit understanding between one person and one vampire has not yet reached the level where they can fully understand each other's eyes.
Xiaoxue wasn't sure what the gentleman meant, so he shook his head at the ranger.
What's the point of shaking your head at this time!
Ye Xuan simply wanted to ask the players to just go AFK and let him, a real NPC, play for them.
No, as a vampire, are you only capable of acting cute?
He sighed in his heart, feeling very disappointed with his friend.
"Move in today?" The ranger's words were unexpected to the two visitors.
Eh?! It actually worked?
Unexpectedly, easy to talk to?
Ye Xing was stunned, Xiao Xue pulled his sleeve to remind him to come back to his senses.
"Thank you so much!" Ye Xing was so excited that he didn't know what to say. After all, he didn't expect the situation to go so smoothly.
At first, he crossed the mountain to come here with the mentality of "it's okay to just give it a try", and finally everything was not in vain.
Although Xiaoxue's identity was exposed, the ranger didn't look like he had any ill will towards vampires and would not mistreat the child.
Even if the priest wanted to send the little vampire away for his own safety and his own, as a real NPC, Ye Xuan would never abandon the player.
The script hasn't ended yet, but the task of this section has been completed, and it's time to get off work and call it a day.
…
The sudden increase in the number of players in the game is indeed a strange thing.
Ye Xuan usually doesn't care much about whether there are any promotional activities in the company, but the increase in players has also affected his work to a certain extent, so he might as well open the forum and take a look.

1L LZ If there are friends who really want to "answer questions and solve problems" and click in, I can only say sorry here... because I used this title to "trick" everyone into coming in, just - I want to show off loudly!
2L Front row photo! I'm not envious at all555555
3L So, the dewdrops triggered the real NPC?
4L Take a deep breath! I heard that the real NPC is very interesting.
5L I watched that live broadcast, and to be honest, I didn’t understand the plot of your game.
6L I play games for fun and relaxation. But I don’t understand those puzzle and reasoning games because I don’t have enough IQ…
7L Not a Dreamer player? It's really hard for you to find your way to the forum of our little game.
8L Why does the person talking upstairs sound weird... But everyone is welcome to play "Dream Travel" together, it's more fun with more people!
9L I agree with the above person. It is extremely cold in the city where I live. I can hardly see many living people.
10L Speaking of which, YM obviously doesn't have so many players, why did it develop so many sections from the beginning? This doesn't make sense, right?
11L Blind student, you found the highlight!
12L Maybe the boss of the company is stupid and rich? Is he an unknown mysterious boss? There is no specific information about You Meng on the Internet.
…
Can’t find it?
Ye Xuan has been working for a while, but when it comes to his understanding of the company, he knows almost nothing.
It's a miracle that he has not been deceived into a pyramid scheme organization even though he blindly submitted his resume.
Ask seniors in the company?
No, what if it really is something strange... and I know too much and get silenced?
He closed the forum and sat alone in the office, thinking about random things.
The game "Dream Travel" is not very well-known, and there were not many players at the beginning. From the posts I just saw, the original players can feel that a game with few users and too many sections disperses the crowd in the game.
This doesn't seem like a normal game approach.
The post that Ye Xing had opened earlier was "covered" by netizens to hundreds of levels, but he stopped after reading only a dozen levels.
Could it be that the turning point is in the back? The previous few floors strayed too far from the title, and I forgot that this was supposed to be a discussion about him, a real NPC.

33L I typed slowly? Is this an encrypted channel? Why can't I see the experience that Luzhu talked about?
34L This hook is left here, the main job of the original poster is storytelling.
