Chapter 58 Will we be arrested if we meet again?
The man was stunned by Ye Xuan's question, and he stammered, unable to explain clearly, as if he was a little confused himself.
Ye Xuan could figure it out. It turned out that this player had just entered the script and had not even figured out the background story, but he had drawn a special "good character". His luck was pretty good.
Letting players confused about the situation was also a mistake on their part, so he would definitely have to make up for it with the colleagues who designed the characters and plot.
But people don’t know what they should do, how can he help?
Ye Xing tried to guide the other party: "Are you familiar with Chinese medicinal materials? Are you engaged in a related industry?"
"Maybe... yes?" The other party was not very sure. He paused for a moment and guessed that he probably went to check the character information.
The fun of "Dream Travel" also lies in the fact that it requires players to explore continuously. Players may be confused at the beginning of the script, but after gradually becoming familiar with the world view of the story background, the feeling of personal integration will be stronger.
However, for the convenience of playing, you can still choose to view some basic settings.
"Well, indeed, I am a regular pharmacist. I just came to this city before the lockdown. Because people are hiding at home to avoid zombies, I have neither a job nor a place to live. I decided to stay in the wholesale market for a while. The doors here are not locked, and I know what medicinal herbs can be used as ingredients." The man sorted out his thoughts and began to introduce himself. "My last name is Chen. What's your name?"
"Okay, Xiao Chen, I plan to hire you. You can just call me boss from now on." After knowing that the other party was a professional pharmacist, Ye Xing had an idea. Since he was an unconventional player character with his own settings, it would be better not to leave him alone in the suburbs far away from the center of the plot. It would be better to bring him back to the clinic so that he could have an expert to help.
The other party was obviously shocked by Ye Xing's sudden decision. He looked at Qin with wide eyes, with a look on his face that said "Do you know what's going on?"
Qin shook his head. Although he didn't understand what the senior was thinking, he knew that the senior was actually very enthusiastic, otherwise he would not have offered to help him find a treatment method when they first met.
"If you have no objection," Ye Xuan looked at the other two and put the money on the cashier according to the price of the medicine in the Chinese medicine doctor's memory, "then follow me back to the clinic. Xiao Chen, you should also carry a few bags, don't let Xiao Qin carry them all by himself."
Seeing that the new "boss" started to order people around so quickly, Xiao Chen no longer maintained the "expert" persona he had made up to fool the young man, and consciously shared half of the medicinal materials.
Ye Xuan walked in front to lead the way. Although he was not carrying any bags, he felt that holding up his phone to provide light was the best way to show consideration for the two people behind him, so he continued his work of leading the way.
Now that there are players around, I can no longer use the convenient map to teleport, so I have to study the route from the suburbs back to the clinic near the city center.
"Xiao Qin, how did you leave when you came here?" Ye Xing asked.
Xiao Qin had no doubts about the questions raised by his predecessor. Even though theoretically, the fact that a Chinese medicine doctor could come here meant that he should know the route.
"I took a ride," Xiao Qin said. "There are no taxis on the street now. I was lucky to find a car that was willing to take me to the wholesale market, and the car didn't charge me for the ride."
"Hitchhiking?" Ye Xing was wondering how Xiao Qin met so many new people of unknown origin today without his knowledge. Some were scammers who wanted to sell medicinal herbs, and some were drivers who didn't ask for anything in return. How could it be such a coincidence?
Ye Xuan thought about it and guessed that the citizen role players who were hiding at home playing mini-games were bored, so the official took the opportunity to launch a wave of character cards that could interact with the main characters. It is likely that the krypton gold players won.
Yes, in addition to the random assignment at the beginning, the role allocation in the script also has the option of drawing cards to change roles in the middle of the game. Taking into account the fact that some players are fickle and curious about unknown characters, this option will appear in some large and long multiplayer scripts.
This time, the characters in the script received not only story missions, but also scene missions. That is to say, from the moment the player who triggered the script entered the plot, all players in the city would enter the script setting together. After the "city is closed", players outside the city cannot enter without special circumstances, and players inside the city cannot leave directly - they can change maps after purchasing prop cards in the mall, but this rare gameplay with an extremely low triggering probability is very popular, and generally, players will not choose to leave on their own even if they rent out their accounts.
What if it's just a new card character, will it affect the direction of the plot if he brings Xiao Chen back directly?
He originally thought that the characters that the protagonist would meet and talk to were all important people, but he didn't expect that the card drawing mode was started without notifying him as an employee... Did he not communicate enough with his colleagues?
Ye Xuan thought about his interpersonal relationships in Youmeng and found that except for Sister Lin, the interviewer, and Xiao Qian, he didn't seem to have much social interaction with other colleagues. He even hardly said a few words to the planning department, which he always complained about.
Am I not sociable?
Forget it, there’s no point thinking about these things during working hours, so I should think about how to get back to the clinic.
For things like hitchhiking, take it if you can, but if you can't, you can't force it, so just give it a try first.
There are not many roads in the suburbs, and there is only one straight road leading to the city center. After putting away his phone, Ye Xing continued to walk in front. Even though he didn't know the exact road, he had no choice but to walk this way before things took a turn for the better.
However, plans cannot keep up with changes. Just when Ye Xing and the other two had taken a few steps, a large truck stopped beside them.
Ye Xuan hadn't turned around to look at the car yet. He just heard the roar of the car and thought it was a ride sent to pick them up. He was very surprised.
"Is it you?!" an angry voice shouted, "Captain, it was this man who took that child away with the infected person last time!!"
Ye Xuan turned his head and saw that he had met his enemy on a narrow road. He also recognized that the person was the search officer who had snatched the zombies from him last time.
Although he brought the paper horse he used to escape this time, he couldn't escape the current situation. They had just finished purchasing a lot of bags, but the other party was well-equipped and sitting in a car. It was obvious that they were no match for them.
He simply took their car back. From the impression he had seen on the map, the headquarters of the search team was also in the city center. If he could capture them there, it would be a great help to him inadvertently.
"Oh, yes, it's me." The Chinese medicine doctor smiled at the man, "May I ask what can I do for you?"
"Where did you take the infected person - have I seen this child somewhere?" The team member did not see Xiao Qin's face clearly last time, but this time he recognized Ye Xuan and the other person by intuition. He did not expect that Ye Xuan would admit it himself, so he had to ask his superiors for instructions.
"Let me see," the woman who was made captain by the previous man lowered the window and recognized the boy, "Isn't this the genius Qin? The one who caused a 'big mess' some time ago."
She very deliberately pronounced the word "big mess" with emphasis. After all, they were still busy cleaning up the mess, but the culprit was shopping in the wholesale market here.
"No way, he is holding Chinese medicinal herbs in his hands, which is different from Qin's major?" The team member spoke frankly and refuted subconsciously.
"Shut up," the captain opened the driver's door, jumped out of the tall special vehicle, and walked up to Ye Xuan, "You two, you have to come with us."
Ye Xuan said to himself, "I couldn't ask for more" and pulled Xiao Qin to climb into the car.
"Ah, Boss, I!" Little Chen waved his arms and said to Ye Xing, "What should I do?"
"Can you bring another one?" Ye Xuan discussed with the captain.
"No, there are only a few seats in the car, and the equipment needs separate seats to be stored. There will be no room for another cat," the captain refused.
"That's all we can do," Ye Xuan took out a business card from his medical box and threw it to Xiao Chen through the window. "Here's the address of our clinic. Go there yourself."
"Ah?" Xiao Chen held the business card that just "flew" into his hand, "No way, boss, this is my first day at work..."
"Young man, can't you handle this little training?" Ye Xuan used the tone of a company leader. "The training you are receiving now will make you more capable in your future work. Come on, I'm counting on you!"
"I, thank you." Xiao Chen lowered his head and began to regret why he didn't refuse the job. Even if he could only eat medicinal herbs, it would be better than here.
"We can go now." Ye Xuan didn't look like he was being arrested for investigation. It was as if this group of people came just to pick him up. "Let's go."
The captain didn't want to say anything more, so she stared at Ye Xing coldly for a while and then got into the driver's seat, as if the other party's attitude was not worth her concern.
But the team members were not happy and said angrily: "Captain, this guy is too arrogant! He is obviously a suspect. Who is he showing off to?"
"Okay, you better stop talking. If you say one more word now, I'll transfer you to guard the infected." The captain didn't want to listen to his subordinates' complaints, so he turned on the radio.
"Next, we have the latest research report on recent infectious diseases. It is a great honor to interview the expert team from the neighboring city." The radio station happened to be broadcasting a live interview. "Old Dean, your arrival is really a pleasant surprise for our city. How is the patient's treatment progressing now?"
The old man's voice in Ye Xuan's memory was somewhat distorted by the current: "The current situation is very ideal, a few points better than we expected, but the number of new patients is still increasing. If we can't find all the first-generation infected people who are still attacking citizens outside as soon as possible, the condition may not be completely stabilized."
"Captain, listen, it's the fault of these two people. They took the infected person who we almost caught away to an unknown place!" The team member couldn't hold it in any longer and blurted out another sentence.
"Report to the guard post tomorrow," the captain said without even looking at the co-pilot. Instead, he met Ye Xing's eyes in the rearview mirror, "Also keep an eye on these two people."
