In the corner of a city in Sensen Continent.
In an old inn, two candles burned slowly in the corner, and the dim light flickered in the night.
The person lying on the bed seemed to have fallen asleep.
However, just as the candle was about to burn out, she suddenly opened her eyes.
She opened the system panel, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
"Customer service! Call customer service!" she yelled in her head.
"Ding! At your service! This is the customer service of "Ancient". Does the player have any questions?"
"There's an NPC here named Lu Yunxi. I want you to delete her data."
Customer Service: “…Sorry, we don’t have this service.”
"No! This NPC has harmed my physical and mental health. If you don't eliminate her, I will file a complaint against your company!" The man said in a firm tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "By then, I don't know if your company will even be able to survive!"
After a round of threats and inducements, the robot customer service could only note the incident and report it to Xianyushang's intelligent brain.
"Report, sir, someone contacted us and wants to clear the data of an NPC." The customer service robot said seriously.
The intelligent computer floating in space blinked for a moment, and then woke up after a while: "Just clear it, there's no need for this kind of thing... Wait! Clear the NPC?! Who's that crazy!" Does he know how much time and energy it takes to clear the data of an NPC?! How long will it take to recharge in the sun?
What's more, charging with sunlight is different from the spiritual energy in the world of immortal cultivation. Although it can be used as a substitute, the effect is far worse!
Thinking of this, the intelligent computer stopped shaking and squatted silently to reduce energy consumption: "Who is it? Which NPC are they going to attack?"
"We're still tracking them. Their location is very hidden, so it might take some time. We're targeting an NPC named Lu Yunxi, who's currently in the Forest Continent..."
As soon as these words came out, the originally sleepy brain was suddenly startled.
"What?! Who are you talking about?!" It jumped up nervously and hit the ceiling. It screamed in pain and slowly fell down.
It was silent for a while, then asked, "Is your name Lu Yunxi?"
"Yes, sir, should we agree to this?"
"Of course not! They're dreaming of harming the NPC!" Anger flashed in the intelligent computer's eyes. It was still waiting for Lu Yunxi to save it! Which idiot was actually going to do this?
It thought for a moment and said, "First, comfort that person. Tell him that clearing out the NPCs won't be easy. It will take at least one or two months to complete."
The robot customer service responded immediately, and after replying to the person, it finally sent the person who was pestering away.
In the darkness, the intelligent computer flickered with a faint red light.

When Fu San rushed to the game company, all he saw was darkness.
The whole city seemed to be empty, without a trace of people.
A cold wind blew, ruffling his hair.
He rubbed his head, speechless.
I forgot! It's so late at night, who would be working? This street was originally full of companies, so it's naturally dark now.
Thinking of this, he had no choice but to stay in a hotel on the next street for one night.
Early the next morning, he arrived at the Star First Game Company.
However, what shocked him was that the entire game company was like a ghost town, with no one there, but there were quite a few robots.
The question is, how is it possible for a gaming company to be made up entirely of robots?!
Fu San stood at the door of the game company in shock, unable to figure out what was going on.
He walked in and asked the robot at the front desk: "Hello, where are the people from your game company?"
Robot: "Human? Human... click click click... Unknown problem, feedback is being provided, please wait..."
Fu San stood there and waited for a long time, but there was no feedback.
In the end, he could only leave in confusion.
As he left, his face was filled with confusion. It wasn't until he noticed that the surrounding companies were also empty that he realized something.
That’s right!
Aren't many companies moving into the "Ancient World" now?! With so many people working from home, who would actually go to the office anymore?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead, and hurried home to log into the game and contact customer service.
"Customer service, I'd like to ask who plays the NPCs in the game?"
customer service:"?"
The customer service representative paused for a moment before replying, "Hello, player, you misunderstood! All the NPCs in our game are data, not real people."
Shen San was shocked: "Impossible! I clearly encountered it before!"
He'd been secretly investigating his master these past few days. From what he'd heard from his older brother and his younger brother's friends, it was clear that his master wasn't just some piece of data! How could data be so real? Not only was she so responsive, she could fight and jump, and she could even trick people. It was obvious someone was controlling her!
The customer service representative was silent for a moment, then replied, "Please rest assured, player. I've just checked, and all NPCs are generated from network data... Regarding this issue, I recommend you visit the Interstellar Brain Hospital."
Shen San: "..."
After turning off the system panel, Shen San seemed to be thinking about something.
The game company's customer service had no reason to lie to him, so why did they say that? What about the master's situation?
He frowned and pondered for a long time before deciding to go and ask his master in person.

Looking at the experience bar that was rising steadily and was almost at the maximum level, Lu Yunxi closed the system panel with satisfaction, pulled up the quilt, and lay down.
