After looking around, Qiao Yuan finally locked on a target.
It was not the Shamatte youth selling buns, nor the tattooed man eating heartily in the restaurant, but the owner of a wine shop lying on a throne in a nearby bar, wearing a vest and holding a straw hat to cover his face, with a look of enjoyment on his face.
From the beginning till now, everyone present acted very forced and seemed very frightened, except for the wine seller who was relaxed and at ease.
What’s more important is that the other party is the first awakened person Qiao Yuan has ever seen.
…
Before entering the store, the aroma of mellow wine hits your nose.
Qiao Yuan doesn't like drinking much and doesn't know much about these wines, but judging from the taste alone, the wines sold here are indeed good.
"Pour yourself whatever you want to drink. Don't drink in my shop and don't act crazy. I suggest you don't drink too much. It's easy to make mistakes." The boss crossed his legs and kept swaying, ignoring the customers coming in.
It doesn't look like a business at all.
"As a sixth-level awakener, selling alcohol here is not a waste of talent."
The boss lying on the armchair suddenly froze.
Taking off the straw hat covering his face, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard looked at Qiao Yuan with a frown.
I have no impression of him, and he is not someone I am familiar with, but since he knows my strength, the other party's strength can only be higher, not lower.
…
"What's this friend's name?"
"Qiao Yuan!" Qiao Yuan admitted generously.
The boss pondered the name carefully, feeling as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where it was for a moment. After all, he had been here for several months and had long been out of touch with the real world.
"I've observed that among the ordinary people around you, you are very special. This specialness is not just due to your strength. Tell me, what's going on here!"
Faced with Qiao Yuan's commanding tone, the middle-aged man, a sixth-level awakener, felt a little displeased, but for some reason, he couldn't muster the slightest thought of resistance.
On the contrary, he felt a little fear towards this stranger.
After taking another look at the noisy outside, the boss hesitated for a while and took out a note from his pocket.
Like Qiao Yuan, he was also accidentally given a note by a supernatural power and then came here.
Congratulations on being selected by the Netherworld crew.
[Your character is the landlord and tavern owner on South Street in Wujia Town]
“…”
"Do you know what filming is?"
"Three months ago, a supernatural force slipped a note into my mouth, and I accidentally came to this strange place."
"This was a filming location. I only found out about this later, but it wasn't humans filming it. It was a supernatural force that was controlling it all!"
"These ordinary people come from all over the world. Without exception, they have all been given notes by supernatural forces and have the status of residents of Wujia Town. However, 99% of them are insignificant extras."
"Even for extras, the requirements here are very demanding. It's not about clothing or anything related to acting. In fact, most people here have no talent for acting, as you can see."
"The minimum requirement for extras here is that they must do things that are consistent with their roles."
“…”
The tavern owner pointed at the beggar who was wolfing down his food.
"Beggars can only beg, fruit sellers must guard their stalls, and bun sellers get up early every day to make buns..."
"As long as they do their job properly, they won't die."
“…”
"You must die?"
The hotel owner hesitated and said, "It's likely. Anyway, I have never seen anyone who can survive the punishment after NG."
Qiao Yuan glanced at the outside world.
There was still constant noise and it seemed a bit chaotic.
"What you said is different from what I saw."
"That's because the crucial scene is over. We're just a small background to the scene. The only reason this scene exists is because of that notice!"
"Once the Wu family leaves, this scene will basically not appear in the camera. During this blank period, those people can do whatever they want. Of course... they can't leave this place."
…
Through the boss's explanation, Qiao Yuan roughly understood the situation here.
If these extras do something that is not in line with their identities during filming, it will cause an NG, and the consequence is death on the spot.
This shooting period may be the same feeling of voyeurism as before.
For example, if the beggar had not begged but ran into the store to eat a lot, he would have been killed by a mysterious force.
The beggar identity will be re-selected.
As for the source, it is the real world!
One carrot, one hole.
…
"I see you're so free, you don't seem to be afraid of ng?"
"Haha, it's all written on the note. This whole street is my shop. As a landlord, it's fitting for me to lie down and bask in the sun, right?"
The tavern owner laughed and then asked about Qiao Yuan's identity.
"By the way, what is your identity?"
"Unemployed."
The middle-aged man thought for a long time and blinked, "Your status is actually not bad. Apart from being poor, you don't have any restrictions and are relatively free. If you don't mind, I have a few houses here and I'll give you one."
"Don't you want to leave here?" Qiao Yuan asked curiously.
No matter how good this place is, it is not the real world. If you pin your life on a so-called identity, the consequences will be serious once the supernatural power behind it changes.
"Friend, since you can see my strength, you must be a very powerful Awakener. Let me tell you this, a seventh-level Awakener came here before, but he left here according to the notice and went to the core scene, and then died."
