Chapter 56: Purchasing As soon as I returned to the game, I went to the wholesale market...
Ye Xuan knocked on the table. This matter was far more complicated than he had imagined. Their situation was not so dangerous last time, and the enemy was not so cunning.
He wanted to enter the world of Dream Travel more than ever before.
He wanted to see that the world they had created was still intact and functioning normally without any interference from the outside world.
He wants to see players stop worrying about the company's public opinion and just concentrate on enjoying the fun of the game.
Games are supposed to be a source of relaxation, not a source of worry.
He has seen too many people frowning because of this incident these days, and has seen many different opinions and endless debates on the Internet.
Originally, this was just a small matter that could be handled within the company, and there was no need to alarm so many people.
However, some people maliciously smeared this list of winners and brought it to the public's attention, creating all kinds of contradictory but eye-catching topics.
He was very touched and delighted that someone was willing to support You Meng.
However, he still didn't want to see more and more ordinary players getting involved in this mess and arguing with others.
Ye Xuan felt that he had to enter the game once.
He was not an impulsive person. After he had this idea, he immediately reported it to Sister Lin and did not choose to log into "Dream Travel" directly.
After all, she had reminded herself many times not to enter the game again until the company's turmoil was over.
After learning about this, Sister Lin quickly convened a few interviewers for a brief meeting and finally passed the application.
They also knew at this time that this battle could not be won quickly, and dragging it out or avoiding it was not a solution either. It would be better to be open and square.
They have a clear conscience.
…
As soon as Ye Xuan logged into the game, he arrived at the clinic in the Chinese medicine scenario. The familiar scene in front of him made him breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the enemy only took advantage of public opinion and did not substantially attack their game, otherwise the situation would be much worse.
"Um, doctor...can you let me go today?" A slightly trembling voice came from behind Ye Xuan.
The Chinese medicine doctor looked back and found that it was the patient who had been "kidnapped" earlier. It seemed that he had recovered to the same level as a normal person.
It seems that the current treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is very effective, and the probability of recurrence should be smaller than that with Western medicine.
Ye Xuan calculated the time and found that players probably played the new updated plot not long after he released the game. It wouldn't take too long from the last time the patient went offline to when he was basically cured.
But why didn’t he see Xiao Qin?
"The other person, where did he go?" Ye Xing was not sure what stage of treatment the patient was at now, so it was not easy for him to agree to let him go directly, so he simply changed the subject.
He was worried that the other party didn't know Xiao Qin, so he simply replaced him with "another person". Fortunately, there were only two of them here besides the patient, so ambiguous reference was avoided.
"It seems like he went out to look for medicine..." The patient was still a little afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor in front of him, and said cautiously, "The herbs are not enough for today's medicine. I said I can stop taking the medicine, but he insisted..."
He knew that there were still zombies outside and it was not safe, especially since he himself had been bitten by a zombie, so he was very scared.
Therefore, he was very confused about the man's behavior of going out alone.
But the man had already greeted the Chinese doctor before leaving, so why was he asking him again?
Ye Xing did not pay attention to the doubt in the patient's eyes. He was indeed confident in Xiao Qin's skills, but the people from Lin City were still in the city. If they ran into them...
It won't be a good thing anyway.
"I'm going to go out for a while, you just stay here and watch the door," Ye Xing deliberately glared at the patient with what he thought was a fierce look, "Don't even think about running away!"
The other party was so scared that he nodded repeatedly in agreement and rolled back onto the recliner.
Ye Xuan checked the medical box, locked the door of the clinic and set off.
He found a new location on the map, which he thought was the new scene that appeared after the script was updated - the Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market.
Why would you go through the trouble of walking when you can teleport directly using a map?
He had always acted with the player character before, so it was inconvenient for him to use teleportation methods that were not related to the plot. But now the streets were empty except for him, so he could use this convenient "method of transportation".
After double-clicking the location marked on the map, a white light flashed before Ye Xing's eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had already arrived at the market entrance.
So convenient?!
He fell silent as he recalled the times when he had to travel with only the help of auxiliary tools.
So, does the sense of immersion in the game plot have to be achieved by exhausting people?
Isn’t map teleportation great?
This was his first time using a map in a script and he had a very good experience.
Although using props like paper horses makes things easier, it is definitely not as good as map teleportation. It will be useless when players are around, which is a pity.
There was naturally no one on the streets in the city center, but he didn't expect that there was no one in the suburbs like the Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market. It was as if all the people in the city had disappeared out of thin air.
Oh, it's still different. According to reports, there are still many people fighting on the front line to capture zombies.
Some people have even seen couriers who can "fly over eaves and walk on walls". It seems that those who can still work outdoors are qualified to be selected as "Model Workers".
Of course, these dedicated people also include himself.
Then, let’s go in and find Xiao Qin.
Ye Xuan opened the panel that could "track" the player's movements, confirmed the other party's location, and walked into the market.
This wholesale market covers a fairly large area and was probably located in the suburbs because of the lower rent.
He turned around several times before arriving at the area shown on the panel. This was even more difficult than finding someone in a large supermarket.
As the city was almost paralyzed, the market was dim but unlit, so he was almost walking in the dark. He used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the sign and realized that he had walked to the same place.
Okay, now it should be easy.
"Xiao Qin, are you here?" Ye Xing called the boy in a low voice.
It's so quiet here that one dares not speak loudly.
A pile of medicinal herbs not far away moved a few times, and a head popped out, which scared Ye Xuan!
The head spoke: "Senior, why are you here?"
It turned out to be Xiao Qin, but he was completely buried in the pile of medicinal herbs.
Ye Xuan was too embarrassed to admit that he was frightened by the other party, so he pretended to be fine and said, "I was worried about you, so I came out to find you."
What's wrong with this kid? Who would buy medicinal herbs and bury himself in them?
Xiao Qin slowly climbed out, fearing that he would damage the herbs: "Thank you for your concern, but I can complete the purchase because I met a master who helped me."
"Master?" Ye Xuan felt strange. Is there such a role setting? "Did the other party ask you to bury it in the pile of medicinal herbs?"
"Yes," Xiao Qin said seriously, "I don't know much about Chinese medicinal herbs, but the expert said he could teach me how to choose good ones."
Ye Xuan covered his face speechlessly, thinking that this child must have been fooled.
A scientific research genius was actually deceived by such a false reason in the Chinese herbal medicine wholesale market. What will happen if the news gets out?
"Xiao Qin, I think," he was considering how to educate his juniors, "you can't trust strangers too much when you meet them for the first time. Just because he says he will help you, you will do it without hesitation?"
Qin took a few steps forward and said, "But when I first met you, you also said you were here to help me..."
Yes.
Ye Xuan recalled the plot at that time, so this "expert" now is still following the same path as he did at the beginning?
So is the other party an ordinary NPC or a player?
If it's an NPC, you don't have to care about them and just go back as if nothing happened.
However, if the other party is a player character, then he has to treat him well. He might even give him a "task reward" or something like that.
"Where is that master?" Ye Xuan planned to see the situation first.
Qin pointed to the darkness in front of him on the left: "He just walked over there and said that I would go to him to pay the bill after I picked out the herbs."
So, the so-called "expert" is the cashier at the wholesale market?
Ye Xuan looked at the young man in front of him, not knowing what to say.
Perhaps Xiao Qin had never been to a wholesale market? Or even a vegetable market?
He thought it was very likely that Xiao Qin had been in the laboratory for too long and was not familiar with the everyday world, so he was more easily deceived. He had to keep a closer eye on him in the future.
"Then, how did that master teach you?" Ye Xuan thought that the other party might not be a liar, hiding in the city. Maybe there are other masters working in the wholesale market.
Xiao Qin pointed at the pile of herbs and said very seriously: "The master told me to bury myself in the pile of herbs and feel them with my heart."
What the hell?
Ye Xuan was increasingly unable to understand what Qin was saying. So only those medicinal herbs that could communicate with you telepathically were good?
This was beyond his imagination. Although he didn't understand it, he was deeply shocked.
"Why do you think this method is useful?" Ye Xuan asked the other party in a tentative tone.
"Because I think Chinese medicine is amazing," Xiao Qin didn't seem to think there was anything wrong, "It's not impossible to use some special methods, right?"
Is this the pitfall that an outsider would fall into?
Ye Xuan had thought that Xiao Qin might not understand these things and be cheated, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous!
But then again, this is not in reality, but in the world of games.
Could it be that such a wonderful setting really exists?
Ye Xuan was conflicted again. He had originally determined that the man was a liar, but now he was not sure.
What if I misunderstand him and miss a key person who drives the plot forward?
"Xiao Qin, have you picked the herbs?" He remembered the purpose of this trip.
"Senior, can you take a look at these?" Xiao Qin went behind the pile of medicinal herbs and took out a few bags containing different kinds of medicinal herbs.
Ye Xuan used his Chinese medicine skills to carefully check the herbs, and after confirming that they were correct, he praised Xiao Qin: "You did a great job!"
"It's the seniors who taught me well." Xiao Qin did not take all the credit, but pushed it back to the traditional Chinese medicine practitioner.
"Then Xiao Qin, take me to see that 'expert'," Ye Xuan helped carry a few bags. The dried herbs were not heavy, and it was no problem to carry four or five bags in one hand. "And settle the bill."
