Chapter 21 Experiment A new plot has begun
Game data loading failed?
When Sister Lin heard this, she immediately came over and said, "No way, I didn't receive any message..."
Halfway through her words, she realized it belatedly and opened her phone to check: "Okay, I got it now. It's not a big problem, and it should be solved in less than half an hour."
"Luckily you haven't left yet," Ye Xing climbed out of the cabin, "I was panicking, afraid that I might have done something wrong—"
"How could that be?" the other party interrupted him. "It's not your first day on the job. Besides, you did a great job on your first day. You knew how to operate it without any instruction."
It's not that he doesn't need to be taught, it's that there is no one to teach him, okay?
Ye Xuan shut up as he looked at the irresponsible senior who had turned around and left after throwing him an instruction manual that was thicker than a brick.
"Will gamers be affected?" He was unsure of the scope of this "problem". Today was a holiday, and if a large number of players were unable to log into the game normally, word of mouth alone would be hard to say.
Sister Lin replied to several messages: "No, we have only found that the employee account cannot be logged in, and the specific reason is unknown."
Ye Xuan felt relieved and sat down on the office chair: "Then I will just look at the task manual myself."
The other party remembered that the page number of the bookmark had not been "updated" for him yet, so he also moved over and said, "Make way, I'll scan my work ID first."
After Sister Lin left, he turned to the page with the metal bookmark and had the illusion that he was participating in a lottery.
"Difficulty: two stars," Ye Xing felt something was wrong after just reading one line. "The first time I chose a half-star task, and the second time Sister Lin chose one star. So according to the arithmetic progression, this time it should be one and a half stars."
How can life be inferred by mathematics? That kind of thinking logic is not very useful in this ever-changing world.
"The future? Traditional Chinese Medicine?" He knew that there must be a lot of loopholes in the first version of the introduction, but this introduction was also too concise.
Let's just take it one step at a time. He closed the "Real Person NPC Task Manual" and browsed the forum to kill time.
There were a lot of new posts about the competition in the Real NPC section. He flipped through them and looked at his own expressions. He was able to basically keep his facial expression calm.
This is just an NPC in the game. What does it have to do with him, a living person?
Under his self-deceiving brainwashing hypnosis, those emoticons actually became much more pleasing to the eye, and he could even laugh out loud when he came across ones with good matching words.
If Sister Lin were here, she would definitely call him "heartless".
I can’t access the game for the time being, but I have to write the work report.
Ye Xing picked out a few comments about him in the forum and copied them here - real-life NPCs face players directly, and players' evaluations are the most important part of their work reports, which require real data to support them.
After copying and writing for a long time, I finally received a notification from Sister Lin: "Xiao Xuan, try to log in again now."
After Ye Xuan replied with a "received", he obediently packed up the report he had written and entered the game cabin again.
"Ding Dong - Employee account '325074' has been detected, loading game data."
Will it succeed this time?
Ye Xuan couldn't tell whether he wanted it to be normal or not. It was indeed uncomfortable to lie in the game cabin for a long time, but it was better than sitting in front of the computer desk.
"The game is loaded, I wish you good work."
It seems that the problem was indeed solved in a timely manner.
He breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes.
…
The laboratory was very quiet. Although you could hear a pin drop, the gentle sounds of the experimental instruments colliding were exceptionally clear.
Ye Xuan found that he was like a non-substantial being, unable to touch anything in front of him, and it seemed that no one could hear what he said.
There was no choice but to take out the manual and look through it again.
It turns out that in plots of two stars and above, real-life NPCs can have a "God's perspective" at a specific time, detaching themselves from the plot.
It seems that this is what he thought. The higher the difficulty, the higher the authority. Fortunately, the planner did not let him down.
Ye Xing nodded with satisfaction, and then acted like a leader inspecting something, strode around the slightly spacious laboratory.
However, this so-called "spacious" was only compared to the laboratory in his previous school. His exaggerated movements almost knocked over the beaker on the table, which scared him so much that he immediately returned to his normal walking posture and became more cautious.
Each researcher was conducting their experiments cautiously, which highlighted the carelessness of a woman sitting in the corner.
She looked at her finished manicure, which violated the regulations, and leaned crookedly against the back of her chair, as if this was not a laboratory.
Ye Xuan felt it was strange and walked towards her.
As he approached the other person, words of introduction gradually appeared above his head. The closer he got, the more words appeared.
Ye Xuan quickly read the introduction, and sure enough, the text disappeared instantly less than a second after he finished reading.
It appears so slowly, but disappears so quickly.
He was glad that he had figured out some of the tricks of the game, otherwise it would have been difficult to grasp the information.
According to the information given, this lady who is out of tune with her surroundings is the player character's assistant, and she came in through the back door. When the young scientific research genius "played" by the player is not around, she often slacks off like what Ye Xuan saw this time, and other researchers have no way to deal with her.
A relative.
When Ye Xuan was in school, there was a teacher who did the same thing. He sat in the office all day drinking tea and reading newspapers. His job was not easy and he didn't have to teach classes. He was just responsible for collecting money and other miscellaneous tasks that didn't happen once in half a month.
When he walked up to his assistant, the other person suddenly stood up, and he was so scared that he quickly took a step back.
Even though he knew the other party couldn't hit him, he still subconsciously dodged - just like when you are watching a 3D disaster movie, even though the things in the picture can't hit you, you will still lean back to avoid them.
"This medicine is very expensive. You can't afford to pay for it if even a drop is missing." She snatched the test tube from a little girl's hand.
The little girl had an "Intern" tag on her chest and her face was flushed and she was speechless.
Ye Xing followed and carefully examined the precious potion - a transparent blue liquid with no smell or taste.
Stop, what are you thinking about? What if someone dies after drinking it? He doesn’t even know what will happen if a real NPC dies in the game.
"She just got here and doesn't know the rules. Please be more tolerant, Mr. Fang." A young man came over to mediate.
Assistant Fang snorted coldly and said to the intern, "I'm not targeting you, but newcomers should put themselves in the right position. Didn't the teacher who recommended you teach you clearly what you can and can't do? Why don't you go back to school for another two years to avoid causing trouble."
The intern who had just stepped out of the campus had never been told such a thing. His eyes instantly turned red, and Ye Xing, who was watching from the side, felt a little sympathetic towards him.
Although he had never experienced such an internship period, his internship in college was entirely based on the connections of his senior classmates in the same department. The internship salary was low, but he did not have to suffer such grievances.
"Hurry up and apologize, and the matter will be over once you apologize," the young man who came to "mediate the fight" whispered to the girl, "Do you want to wait until the director comes back?"
Ye Xuan did not agree with such a wishy-washy behavior and was curious about who the "director" that person was talking about was.
"Yes, I'm sorry." The girl said in a crying voice.
"Once you enter society, don't think you can get rid of people with just 'I'm sorry'." Assistant Fang glanced at her watch. It would take some time for Director Li to come back, which was plenty of time for her to deal with. "Besides, your voice was too soft, and there was no sincerity at all. Young people nowadays don't know how to cherish job opportunities."
The girl was immediately panicked when she heard this: "I fought so hard to get this job! Please let me go——"
"Oh, I'm back just in time for afternoon tea?" The young man's voice coming from outside the door startled everyone in the laboratory except Ye Xuan.
The player character appears?
He turned his head to look at the door and saw a smiling boy walking in.
Ye Xuan learned from the hint that the so-called "afternoon tea" was a benefit provided by the institute specifically for the young man in front of him, and the others were just taking advantage of it. Of course, afternoon tea would not be held in the laboratory. Our protagonist was out on business today and should have canceled it, so what this person said...
He knew very well whether there was "afternoon tea" or not, he just didn't want to embarrass everyone.
"Director, how come you're back so early? Our experiment isn't finished yet." Assistant Fang put on a smile. "If it weren't for this little intern delaying the progress, you could have gone home straight away after you came back."
"I didn't." The girl looked at the boy approaching step by step. She was so scared that she held back her tears and dared only argue in a low voice.
"Still quibbling!" The young man didn't respond. He looked at his assistant and glared at the intern, then handed over a tube of reagent. "Director, this is the medicine you worked so hard to prepare. Each material is hard to come by. I don't think anyone dared to touch it when you were not around, but this little girl took it directly."
Ye Xing was puzzled. Didn't the assistant grab the test tube at the beginning? How did she not dare to touch it? And is this the reason why you do that and don't work? This person didn't quit and still kept her salary!
"Xiao Fang, forgive others when you can." Although he was younger than everyone present, everyone was accustomed to the way the boy addressed them and did not think there was anything wrong with it.
"Yes, Director," the assistant replied, and as he passed the intern, he lowered his voice and said, "You're lucky."
The director had just opened his mouth to say something when his cell phone rang urgently and he picked up the call.
"Meeting?" The young man frowned. "There are so many meetings every day. Can the research funding be solved by a bunch of people sitting around?"
He walked out the door while talking on the phone: "I heard about their speeches this time and got sponsorship. I tell you, my time and energy should be spent on research, don't let me do these things next time..."
Everyone was busy with their own things. Assistant Fang sat on a chair in the corner, and Ye Xing was left alone, at a loss as to what to do.
Leaving now? My mission target.
