Chapter 5 Takeaway, stepping on the colorful clouds, just to deliver takeaway to you...
Ye Xuan weighed the physical copy of the "Real Person NPC Mission Manual" and felt that he wouldn't be able to even drink the soup if he used it to press down instant noodles, and it was too heavy to throw at people.
It's useless.
Ye Xuan ignored the real purpose of the manual and calculated the time. If he slowly walked to the cafeteria at this time, it would probably be open. So he stood up and slammed the manual on the table without mercy. The table protested with a "squeak" under the heavy weight, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Eating is the most important thing.
Ye Xing half-closed the door of his office and relied on his memory to get out of the area where he worked. After that, the way to the cafeteria was much easier - it could be said that even if he forgot where his office was, he still remembered the location of the cafeteria.
After all, I had been living frugally before I found a job, and I hadn’t eaten well for a long time. Now that I have the opportunity, of course I want to eat as much as I can.
Ye Xing didn't eat a lot, so he had two meat dishes and one vegetable for lunch. But he still ordered two more bowls of rice, explaining that they were "small bowls."
Yes, maybe after a while, the cafeteria aunties will be familiar with him and will serve him a bowl of rice piled like a mountain in advance to avoid him coming again and being annoyed.
He arrived early and didn't see other familiar colleagues, so there was naturally no greeting as he had imagined. He ate lunch alone and went back home.
"How was lunch in the cafeteria? Is this your first time eating there?" Sister Lin popped up when he was about to walk back to the office.
Ye Xing, who wanted to question her about the manual, was successfully diverted from the topic: "It's pretty good, but there are too many potatoes in the stewed pork ribs, and the pork ribs have no place to go on my plate."
Not to mention that Ye Xing didn't have the courage to "blame" his predecessor, just the ribs alone contained a mystery.
The slight tremor of the cafeteria lady's wrist when she scooped the food for him meant that the potatoes were easier to find a home in the grid of the plastic plate than the ribs.
And that grid happened to be located at the very edge of the plate, with extremely small space, and the ribs would fall back into the abyss called "pot" if they were not careful.
To be honest, the potatoes are very fragrant.
You asked about the spareribs? I finished them without tasting them, so they must be good.
As Ye Xuan watched Sister Lin walk towards the company cafeteria, he sincerely wished that she could taste the ribs.
…
Lunch break time is actually quite flexible. Since I have nothing to do, I decided to just play the game and enjoy the scenery.
He lay down in the game cabin again and threw his work permit into the cabin, imitating the last accident.
“Ding——” I felt like I was in a microwave.

"Ding Dong - Employee account '325074' has been detected, loading game data."
This is the prompt sound, it seems the operation is correct.
As the saying goes, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar, and when you hear the words "The game is loading, I wish you good luck with your work", you will silently reply in your heart, "Good luck to you."
Good luck at work is my best wish.
When he opened his eyes again, Ye Xing found himself sitting in a cafe, even holding a cup of iced drink in a plastic cup in his hand.
He took a careful sip and tasted it.
The drink had a rich taste, with layer upon layer of delicious flavors. It was hard to tell what the ingredients were. He just felt that any drink he had had in the past twenty years was not worth mentioning and pale in comparison to this cold drink.
Really, a good enough taste will shine, sparkle, and be dazzling and charming.
This place is great, much better than the previous bridge over the river.
Without even looking, Ye Xuan knew that his appearance should not have changed. This game would at most change the employees' attire after they accepted a mission, and the rest depended on him to get into the role.
Even if he doesn't appear in the play, the players may not be drawn into the plot.
Ye Xuan finished a whole cup of drink before he began to observe the surrounding environment. When he first came, he was only concerned about the cold drink in his hand, knowing that he was probably sitting in a cafe, so he didn't care.
Cafe, always a normal cafe right?
Ye Xuan did not click on the icon representing the "Real Person NPC Task Manual" this time. He thought that he still had time for lunch break, and getting into work too quickly would be detrimental to the smooth progress of the work and the degree of completion would be greatly reduced.
Yes, that's right.
"What is this?" He poked another icon curiously, which seemed to be a cabinet.
"Bang——" This sound was accompanied by the special effect of the cabinet opening, the two doors bounced outwards, and fireworks exploded...
Yes, fireworks, the colorful, dazzling, and brilliant fireworks, flew out of the cabinet and exploded in front of Ye Xuan’s eyes.
"So...what is this thing?" Ye Xing was frightened and couldn't speak clearly.
surprise?
After the special effects completely faded, he recognized it as a wardrobe.
Well, it was like one of those dress-up games with all kinds of complicated wardrobes, which he had no idea how to use.
"Why are accessories divided into so many categories? Are there these categories for clothes? No, what is this? A colorful auspicious cloud?" Ye Xuan flipped through it. Even the clerks in the department store might not understand it.
He tried to choose the "Seven-Colored Auspicious Clouds", and it really appeared under his feet.
After stepping on the colorful auspicious clouds, I felt like a peerless hero.
I also began to understand why the girls in my previous class liked to play games like "Qi Nuan" and "Shan Nuan". Dress-up games are indeed fun.
Young man, do you think employees can also enjoy the fun of games? You are still too young and too naive.
Fun games are all about serving players.
"Employee '325074' has unlocked the costume *'Colorful Auspicious Clouds' and is being assigned related tasks."
Meow meow meow? A clothing distribution mission is also fine? How about planning to come out and have a chat?
Ye Xuan stepped on the clouds under his feet. They were quite soft, not the texture of gathered water droplets, but more like a large ball of cotton.
Can it really fly?
"Hey, delivery man over there!" A shout came from the cash register of the coffee shop.
Who? Who are you looking for? I don't see any delivery man here?
Ye Xuan looked around and found that he was the only one in this area.
"Don't look around, it's you." Seeing that no customers came to place orders, the cashier walked out from behind the cash register with a takeaway in his hand, "Hurry up and deliver it to the customer. If you're late, you'll be scolded again."
Ye Xuan took the paper bag in confusion, and the reminder sounded again: "The 'Seven-Colored Auspicious Cloud' coffee delivery task has been received. Please arrive at the order delivery address within the specified time."
Using colorful clouds to deliver food? Is it appropriate?
Ye Xuan felt that the company was lucky to have such talented planners.
"The new character has been updated, remember to check it out." When the broadcast ended, the icon of the "Real-Life NPC Mission Manual" flashed.
Well, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that can't be avoided. What's coming will eventually come. Goodbye for lunch break.
Ye Xuan clicked on the icon with trembling hands, and it stopped flashing the moment he clicked it.
The manual thoughtfully turns to the corresponding page for easy viewing by real NPCs.
Ye Xuan took a quick look through it. If there was no trap set, the character this time was just an ordinary delivery boy who had been late twice this month.
Three times the limit, if you are late again your bonus will be deducted and you may even face the risk of being fired.
Therefore, he needs to complete this order within the time limit.
I would like to ask, which delivery guy would use such an "ordinary" means of transportation as the Colorful Cloud to deliver food?
Can you be late even if you fly over from the sky?
The cashier saw Ye Xuan still standing there and got anxious: "What are you standing there for? Go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the latter out of the window.
Ye Xuan was leaning against the window, which was wide open, wide enough for an adult male to climb out - if you don't consider that this was the fifth floor.
What kind of cafe would design such a dangerous window!
Ye Xuan was held firmly by the cloud under his feet, trying to maintain his balance, at least not to fall.
Although I know it's in a game, falling from a high altitude must be a painful experience.
Okay, next it’s time to look at the order delivery address.
Ye Xuan then realized that the cashier hadn't given him anything except the takeaway. However, he could find the address from the receipt on the paper bag, so it shouldn't be a problem to deliver it according to that...
The problem is, there is no navigation.
…
After Ye Xing had repeatedly confirmed that his direction was correct by "landing on the ground to ask for directions, flying high into the sky, and then landing on the ground again to ask for directions", more than half of the time had passed.
If the delivery guy in the setting is late because he has no navigation, then it is indeed understandable.
Ye Xuan finally found the residential area written on the address, but found that he could not find the gate of the community.
No, is it really good to build a whole residential area with all the same houses? Will people living there feel safe if they are winding around like a maze?
Ye Xuan adjusted his mood, smiled, and asked the Nth innocent passerby: "Hello, do you know where the gate is? Yes, it is the gate of this community. No need to trouble you to lead the way, thank you."
Finally he walked in. Ye Xuan looked at the buildings in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Where is Building 81? Is it okay to build buildings so densely?
This is not Building No. 81, this is Building No. 9981.
Ye Xuan thought as he looked at the elevator under repair in the corridor.
At the last minute, Ye Xuan finally rang the doorbell - as long as he did this, it would not be considered overtime. It was the other party's fault that the order could not be completed in time, and it would not be the delivery man's fault.
"Ding-dong-" the tone of the doorbell was very long, and the time waiting for the door to open seemed even longer.
Ye Xuan felt that delivering food was not easy at all. It was not as good as working as a front desk clerk in a medical institution, because at least there were melons to eat.
If I had known, I wouldn’t have studied new icons. Isn’t it enough to be criticized by the manual?
"Squeak--ah--" The sound of the door opening made one's teeth ache, and a hand stretched out...
Turn on the light.
Ye Xuan didn't understand why such an obviously newly built residential area had old-fashioned lights that needed to be "lit up" by pulling a rope. No wonder he couldn't find the button for the lights all the way up, and they were obviously not voice-controlled.
"Your takeaway has arrived. Enjoy your meal." Ye Xuan handed over the paper bag.
The other party did not take it, but just lowered his head, as if looking at...
Are you also attracted by the colorful auspicious clouds under your feet?
"Yes, is there any problem?" It was Ye Xuan's first time delivering food, and it was also his first time using a "transportation tool" like the "Colorful Auspicious Cloud". The passers-by he met along the way did not express surprise, and at most they praised his colorful clouds, which were very beautiful. He felt a little uncomfortable being stared at like that.
