Strategy for that NPC18
The competition was delayed, and Ning Xiu and his team had another chance to participate in the finals. This time, nothing unexpected happened. They arrived at the venue smoothly and sat in their competition seats.
There were hundreds of audience members in the audience, and they were cheering at this moment.
They can bet on which team will win in the end, or on their ranking, and those who guess correctly will get valuable prizes.
Bai Luqiu's team has a lot of supporters because Bai Luqiu himself is a live broadcaster. The four people he recruited are either former professional competitive game players or well-known masters in the server. These people have a lot of supporters privately, and Bai Luqiu's later live broadcasts also attracted a lot of fans.
Now that they have arrived at the scene, those contestants who originally supported them are even more excited and have left messages to the program team, saying that this group of people are so good-looking, and even if they don’t win the championship in the end, they must interview the boys in this group separately!
Although they shouted this, fans still expected their group to win the championship.
The competition officially began. Ning Xiu and his team needed to compete with the team from the next server in the finals to determine the champion. The game was a best-of-three format, and they had already won the first game.
Du Wenting remained calm and directed everyone to their respective positions.
"They have a lot of high health and many professions. Let's fight normally. Don't let the pianist get killed instantly. Stay calm and we can win."
Ning Xiu took a deep breath and did what Du Wen had heard.
In the last team fight, Bai Luqiu's fragile sorcerer was killed first, but Du Wenting also withstood the pressure and killed the opponent's musician in seconds.
"Don't panic, you can wear them down."
The fact turned out to be just as Du Wen had heard. Without the musician, they, with their high health, could not compete with those with high attack. After dragging on for more than ten minutes, only three with low health and Ning Xiu, a swordsman with only one third of his health left, were left.
I heard that Du Wen was also killed by the concentrated fire of three people, but he also reduced the man's health to only a little bit.
Although Ning Xiu had to fight 1v3, he was very excited.
The swordsman has a counter-shock skill that can avoid damage. At the same time, if the person is hit by a skill while counter-shock is activated, the person who is counter-shocked will take a half step back, which is equivalent to being controlled for 0.5 seconds.
As long as he can seize the moment when the opponent uses a skill to counter-shock, he will have the opportunity to kill three low-health players at the same time.
This also tests his reaction and hand speed. Similarly, the pressure is also high. If he makes a mistake, he loses.
Du Wen remained calm after hearing this. "Don't overthink it. Even if we make a mistake, we still have another game to cover it."
Ning Xiu nodded.
He thought so too. As the saying goes, they should make the most of the momentum. They are now in an advantageous position and of course they must seize the momentum.
Fortunately, the opponent was also in a hurry. After being tricked into a wave of control by Ning Xiu, he first killed one person with a special move, and then successfully launched a counter-shock. In the end, he successfully achieved three consecutive kills and won the victory!
Du Wen slapped the keyboard and shouted "Beautiful".
The whole audience cheered instantly. Ning Xiu turned around happily, and the moment his eyes met Du Wenting's, he heard a crackling sound.
The system's voice entered my mind. It seemed anxious and spoke quickly, "Host, I'm finally connected to you..."
"Please accept the main storyline. I might be offline again. I can't connect to your soul fluctuations in this world. I have been isolated from the outside world. You can only rely on yourself!"
X thought to himself, it seems that I didn’t rely on myself alone before.
But after finally getting connected, he didn't have time to chat with the system and quickly received the script.
"Capture That NPC", main storyline quest: Du Wenting, Yu Dong, Bai Luqiu...
The protagonist is Yu Dong.
Yu Dong just entered the society and became a game anchor to make a living. Unexpectedly, he was favored by Bai Luqiu, a big boss in the industry. Bai Luqiu and Yu Dong had similar aspirations. Later, Bai Luqiu gave Yu Dong a game helmet and mysteriously told him that it was a new holographic game of Chongwen Group and the helmet was bound to an internal test account.
Yu Dong entered the game and found that it was a realistic, warm and everyday game, and the game scene was actually his alma mater.
Yu Dong didn't know how to play at first, so he wandered around every day and then found a strange NPC.
That NPC waits for someone downstairs of the Faculty of Arts teaching building every day, but no one has ever seen who he is waiting for.
And this NPC is very good looking...
Yu Dong was a huge fan of looks, so he started following this NPC, and then slowly realized that he seemed to be a real person...
Through an investigation combining reality and games, Yu Dong finally learned from Bai Luqiu that the NPC he met was the comatose Du Wenting, the boss of the Review Studio.
Bai Luqiu said that after Du Wenting finished producing "Revisiting", he became negative and eventually fell into the water accidentally. After being rescued, he has been in a coma ever since.
The doctor said that his brain waves were active. His family knew something, so they channeled his brain waves into the last holographic game he made.
Bai Luqiu, "He had a first love, they dated for only six months, and then she died in the Xinxia Mall case during the Chinese New Year a few years ago. He probably made this game to commemorate her, but he can't seem to get over it now. As his friends, we're also very worried..."
Bai Luqiu said that when he saw Yu Dong for the first time, he felt that he looked very similar to Xiu Xiu, not in appearance, but in the sweet orange feeling of the human world.
He hoped that Yu Dong could enter the game and find Du Wenting, awaken his desire to survive, and bring him out.
At this point, Yu Dong embarked on the journey to conquer that NPC.
Although he was asked to be a substitute for others, he was gradually attracted to Du Wenting as he got along with him, and finally succeeded in awakening Du Wenting.
The second half of the story is about the two people's tug-of-war over the issue of "stand-in".
In the end, Du Wenting finally came out of the haze of his first love's death, and clearly realized that Yu Dong and Ning Xiu were completely different. He had loved Ning Xiu, but that was in the past. Now it was Yu Dong who was with him, and it was also Yu Dong who gave him emotional return.
After he came to his senses, he went abroad to bring Yu Dong back. The two of them were together for ten years and finally had a happy ending with HE.
…
As soon as Ning Xiu finished reading it, tears immediately fell from her eyes.
There's no way around it. He's now influenced by his original personality and is very emotional.
It turns out that this world has already ended, and he... is a person who no longer exists in reality.
The moment he figured it all out, the cheering background around him froze instantly. Du Wen, who was smiling at him, heard a flash of panic in his eyes.
"An invading virus has been detected, and the detection and killing process has been initiated." Mechanical voices came from all directions, but it was not the same voice as the Ning Xiu system. This voice was more rigid and inflexible.
It was at this moment that Ning Xiu understood why his system could not contact him - this was a holographic game, and after the system entered the world, it was rejected by the operating system of the holographic game, so it could only stay outside.
When Du Wen heard the mechanical voice, his vision went dark. "No, it's not a virus!"
He had clearly blocked out his own memories and had completely integrated into this world, so why was he still being detected...
Du Wen was dazed again, and he seemed to hear Ning Xiu's voice in his ear, "Brother, don't press W anymore!"
He looked down and saw that the W key on the keyboard he had just excitedly tapped was stuck.
Du Wen woke up as if from a dream.
In 2.5D and 3D games, W is the forward key.
Xiu Xiu told him not to go down this path anymore.
Du Wenting opened his eyes and looked at Ning Xiu in front of him, his eyes filled with tenderness again, "Xiu Xiu, I can't stop here... I have already, I have already saved you, we, we have a long, long way to go..."
When he said this, he was already sobbing.
He knew he was deceiving himself.
They have no future.
Ning Xiu just looked at him calmly.
But he was only calm on the surface; he was about to explode inside.
Just when the holographic world's system appeared, his system was ejected.
Is this world over?
It’s not that he felt like a ‘dead man’ who collapsed the world line without getting the script... He just felt that Du Wen had noticed that he was not a set of cold data, and it might not be so easy to get out of it.
Ning Xiu was still wondering what to do after Du Wen heard this, when the man suddenly came up and hugged him.
“Don’t disappear!”
Ning Xiu lowered his head and saw that his body was actually disappearing.
The disappearance of a set of data meant it was reduced to dust bit by bit, and soon, Du Wenting could no longer hold him.
"No, don't!" Du Wen's eyes turned red and he reached out to grab the broken powder.
The surrounding scenes and characters also turned into a series of flowing data turbulence.
"It's true, this world is real!"
Du Wenting has always been gentle and calm. This is the first time Ning Xiu has seen him like this...almost crazy.
"Brother." Ning Xiu felt a little breathless.
Maybe he was about to disappear, or maybe... his heart was in too much pain, squeezing the blood supply and causing hypoxia.
Never mind, it’s not shameful to admit that I feel sorry for this person.
He smiled and raised his hand to hold Du Wenting's face. His arm had become translucent. "Brother, we will meet again."
"Xuxiu..." Du Wen couldn't stop crying, making him look embarrassed and vulnerable. "I don't want to meet you again. I just want to be with you forever."
Ning Xiu wanted to say something, but it was too late...
He opened his mouth and completely disappeared from this world.
…
Ning Xiu opened his eyes again and found that he had turned into a soul.
This situation didn't scare him, he just felt a little strange.
Has he not withdrawn from the world?
Just as I finished thinking, the system's voice rang out, "Host! Mission accomplished! We seem to have traveled through the wrong timeline, but can we actually complete the mission this way?"
"Forehead……"
He wanted to check on Du Wenting, but the system had already opened the settlement page.
"...Ning Xiu died at the age of nineteen. On the day of the Xinxia explosion, rescue workers were helping them downstairs when Ning Xiu was hit by a collapsed stone slab and lost his ability to move. The rescue team was too small and could do nothing, so they had to abandon him."
"Ning Xiu died in the happiest and brightest year. Ning Xiu's life came to an end at this moment. The FF856 world has broken free from plot control and is now operating independently. The host codenamed 'X' has successfully completed this mission and will be leaving FF856 in fifteen seconds. Please prepare to jump."
In fifteen seconds, he didn't have time to find Du Wen to listen...
X closed his eyes helplessly, waiting to be freed.
After returning to the system space, X counted his points and chose to purchase the subsequent development of the FF856 world from the system.
The system was surprised for a moment. It thought the host was always carefree and would never look back to see what happened to those people.
Ning Xiu got the sequel to the world he had visited. After reading it, he was silent for a long time.
The system was also curious, so it leaned over to see what was happening next.
"What? Du Wen woke up just by listening to me? What does that have to do with Yu Dong?"
"Huh? After waking up, he suffered from severe depression and committed suicide before he was thirty?"
You know, they went through the wrong timeline. At that time, Du Wenting was already 28 years old, but after entering the game, he still used his 22-year-old body.
In other words, Du Wen only lived for a year...
The system flipped through it carefully.
Du Wen woke from his coma and frantically entered the game again and again, only to return disappointed. Every time he entered and exited, his condition would worsen. However, after a period of rest, he would continue to enter the game, even though his health was deteriorating and the time he spent recuperating was getting longer and longer...
He also met Yu Dong in the game, but he didn't take Yu Dong seriously at all.
"Why is this happening? There's obviously nothing wrong with you..."
Why did the subsequent plot become so distorted?
Ning Xiu did not answer, but he already had the answer in his heart.
He is more vivid than data. Not only did he leave a strong mark in the heart of 22-year-old Du Wenting, but he also intensified this color in the memory of 28-year-old Du Wenting.
If it was just a simple set of data, it certainly wouldn't be so difficult for Du Wen to accept.
In the original plot, Du Wenting had only been dating Ning Xiu for half a year, and his guilt and regret for Ning Xiu far outweighed his love for him.
So Yu Dong invested his feelings and was able to bring Du Wenting back.
But the timeline was wrong. Ning Xiu performed too vividly in this game, which deepened Du Wenting's feelings for him.
The lover in his memory came to life in the game he made for her, but he was once again unable to keep her, again because of the virus detection system he made...
After all, he changed the plot.
X lowered his eyelids and sighed with loss.
——Wait for me, we will meet again.
