The sequel of OE that "we" expect (XIV)
How should I respond to you when you say that?
Jiang Yuanshi really wanted to say this, but in the end he just slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. In the darkness, he felt the wetness and licking at the corners of his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, it was a new day, peaceful, leisurely and comfortable. I didn't feel so many things when I was alive, but now after death, I am enjoying them all.
"Z01, the monster is over there!"
"Z01, what should we eat today?"
"Z01, did you pull out the seedlings?... What did you say? Do you want to experience what it means to force growth by pulling up seedlings? Then just pull out one. Why pull out so many? I pulled out a whole field over there for you!... What? A controlled experiment? Do you think I look like that seedling? Ah! Come here! Don't run away!"
…
In a field somewhere in a village outside the city, a farmer was running expressionlessly, with a fire-breathing dragon chasing him. The dragon was very small and was making some inaudible noises in its mouth, looking quite evil.
It's so... rare. Jiang Yuanshi actually looks like this when he's angry.
Z01 thought so as he ran and took photos and entered them into the private database.
The chase scene was extremely intense.
After 10 minutes, the dragon was hungry and decided to stop fighting.
Jiang Yuanshi threw the diamond into his mouth and chewed it fiercely, as if he was eating Z01 instead of a diamond.
Z01 said nothing but handed over the new diamond: "Try this purple one."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Ouch." He opened his mouth and took a bite, and gave Z01 a bite at the same time.
Z01: "How does it taste?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Well, it's okay, it tastes like grape." It's quite delicious and crunchy.
During the meal, Jiang Yuanshi chatted about the time they had been in Wuxiu City. According to Z01's records, 28 days had passed since they came to this world, almost a month.
There was no news from the Chuanshu Bureau yet. Jiang Yuanshi wondered, "Wouldn't those Lord Gods want to keep us in this world without even holding a meeting?"
Z01: "It's unlikely, because running this world requires willpower, and generally they don't give long vacations to missionaries."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Then aren't we now?"
"Yes, but not for too long. After all, if the budget is overspent, the higher-ups will notice it."
Jiang Yuanshi leaned against Z01's feet, sitting cross-legged, and said as he ate, "Sometimes it's scary when there's no warning. It's hard to guard against it. It seems that the game of Wuxiu City is almost over."
Z01 straightened up Xiaolong who was gradually falling down and asked, "Are you planning to go to the next place?"
"Well... it's not impossible. Anyway, the store here is managed by a teleportation array. If there is a shortage of stock, we can just go and restock it." At this point, Jiang Yuanshi remembered something. He looked up and asked, "Should I restock the stock tomorrow? It seems that I have received a sold-out reminder."
Z01 nodded, and Jiang Yuanshi said, "We can still hold on for one more day, so let's go tomorrow."
Z01 agreed.
Today is also a bad day.
However, before the two of them had their meal, a scroll appeared out of nowhere in the air. It was new news. When they opened the scroll, they found that it was a commendation and reminder from the Supervisory Bureau.
The Supervisory Bureau is also the police station. Recently, thieves have voluntarily come to work, and the performance of the police station has greatly improved. They sent their thanks to Jiang Yuanshi and Z01, but at the same time, reminded them to further update the surveillance scrolls. Recently, many thieves have been curious about whether the store can really send them to the police station, so they gave it a try.
This is a bad influence.
The existence of monitoring scrolls has its pros and cons, but what makes Jiang Yuanshi strange is that the probability of triggering the NPC theft in the game is very small. Even if all the NPCs in the city appear in the store, only three or four people will be triggered. How could there be so many?
Could it be that in this world, the NPCs in the game have awakened automatically?
But Jiang Yuanshi and they did nothing.
There was no choice but for the duo to move up their schedule and go to the store today to restock the stock and check the situation.
After finishing their meal, the two men came to the store with the goods. The only customer in the store had just left. After watching him leave, the two men began to restock the goods. The process was very simple, but the shelves and windows had to be cleared before new goods could be added. However, there was currently a fried chicken leg and a strange-tasting potato cake in the store.
What a pity! In order to facilitate loading, it can only go into the stomach of the Wishing Dragon.
Xiaolong regretfully lost 1,000 gold coins and ate chicken legs and potato cakes.
"Ah!" Suddenly someone shouted, and Xiaolong was so scared that the chicken leg in his hand fell.
Xiaolong and a customer with strange clothes who just came into the store made eye contact. Xiaolong was stunned and the customer's eyes were dull as well, but they still looked at each other and Xiaolong picked up the fallen chicken leg calmly.
When the customer saw this action, it was as if a switch was turned on. Jiang Yuanshi heard a "click" sound in his ear. Before he could react, the customer rushed over excitedly, but due to some restrictions, he only stopped in front of Jiang Yuanshi.
It’s so strange. Jiang Yuanshi’s memory doesn’t have this NPC, and he doesn’t remember designing such a character.
The customer happily stretched out his hand towards Xiaolong, but retracted it before he could touch him. The movement was repeated over and over again as if there was a bug. Jiang Yuanshi found it a bit scary. After all, the movement was so fast that it could create a wind, so Jiang Yuanshi started to blow the fan.
Just as the customer tried to reach out again, a hand reached out and grasped Xiaolong's belly to lift him up. Z01 looked at the customer's face expressionlessly, then stepped back silently.
But the strange customer not only did not come forward, but shouted instead and looked extremely excited. The shutter sounds of "click, click" rang out continuously, but Jiang Yuanshi did not see the camera.
Just when he was wondering, he heard the customer say, "Oh my god, I finally found it! I'm so excited! Hurry up and post it!"
What on earth is this NPC talking about? Z01 asked Jiang Yuanshi, and at this moment Jiang Yuanshi's expression was uglier than ever before.
Customer: "Huh? This new NPC's random dialogue is like this. It's like a real-time conversation. The author's updating skills are getting better and better."
This time, even Z01 understood.
This customer who can say such things cannot be an NPC.
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and began a long-lost mental conversation with Z01. The two decided to keep the human-machine communication going and wait and see what other shocking words this customer would say in order to get more information.
But the customer stopped talking and just kept clicking. Suddenly, the world pressed the pause button and he couldn't move, but his consciousness was still there.
A very familiar and long-lost save file interface appeared in the air, but it did not belong to Jiang Yuanshi and Z01.
The customer stopped talking, the world stopped, Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 turned into NPCs.
Jiang Yuanshi asked Z01 in his mind: "What's going on?"
Z01: "Analysis in progress... Anomalies detected, suspected to be causing link fluctuations with other worlds."
Other worlds? Jiang Yuanshi had a bad thought: "Is this the reality where I exist?"
Z01: "The probability is 88%. It seems that there are other worlds, but they cannot be analyzed."
But one thing is beyond doubt, that is, they have become NPCs.
It's ridiculous, but somehow it feels normal.
After all, he had been living too comfortably lately, to the point that Jiang Yuan began to be afraid.
As expected, the beauty will eventually be broken, and accidents will occur again, and the situation will even be worse than in any previous world.
Before they encountered the so-called customers, they could move freely, but after they encountered them today, they became NPCs and their movements were restricted by the game. If the main gods took action during this pause, Jiang Yuanshi and Z01 would hardly be safe from accidents.
Before the customer... no, the player came back, the two people who were suspended could only collect as much information as possible. Jiang Yuanshi asked Z01: "Can you collect news from the real world? If there is any relevant news update in reality, then it can be completely proved that this world is connected to reality."
"It's not allowed according to the regulations."
According to the rules of Chuanshu Bureau, the system does not have this authority. Even if it does, it cannot cross-border information collection, otherwise it will be punished. But since Z01 said so, it proves that it is possible. After all, rules are meant to be broken. However, this time, before Jiang Yuanshi could start to persuade, Z01 had already displayed a large screen in the space.
"The time for cross-border communication is limited. I can only extract the recent news. This is the hottest topic recently, and there are discussions about our store."
"Why are you so self-conscious now?" Jiang Yuanshi joked, and Z01 agreed, "You taught me well."
"Not bad, not bad." Jiang Yuanshi praised and looked at the big screen.
That was a discussion post on a social platform:
[Ask about the new product release time of the Knowledge Shop in Nameless Adventure]
Poster: Topic is as above, does anyone know when the shop will have new items? I can't beat the splicing monsters even if I encounter them, I really need that big bone, I haven't even seen the boss NPC in the shop... I searched all the guide posts, but there is nothing, please help me (crying loudly) (folding hands)
#UnnamedAdventure#Game#IntellectualShop#……
The post received over 10,000 likes and over 1,000 replies.
[咬萨莎的臀]: (pinned) Newbies, don't wait, it's normal that there is no guide, because old players don't have it either (crying). As someone who passed the oe ending but couldn't bear to quit, I've been waiting for the new sequel. I've been eyeing that store for a long time. When the author updated it, there was not even an announcement. If I hadn't wandered around the city every day, I would have almost missed their store opening (every time I ran into someone opening a store, my luck got better)
There are two shopkeepers. The big shopkeeper is a mini dragon, and the second shopkeeper is a human. These two cannot be conquered because there is no dialogue option, so there is no favorability at all, and there is no deduction. If you want the shop to update, you have to buy all the things. However, the new things in the shop are quite rare and the quantity is very large. I recommend it. But you can't catch the two shopkeepers... (whispering, the game author, you are so big)
Reply below:
[God knows I have money but every time I go I can’t buy it. I leave with a huge amount of money and regret. And the author, you really sell it well. These two are not only married but also adopted. Long is the adoptive father. It’s also a play.]
[After reading this post, the player who quit the game after the ending was sad and quietly restarted the game]
[Same as above, curious and crawling back to take a look]
[Hi everyone, I'm back. I want to add one more thing here. It's not just a big sale. It shocked my whole family. Who could have thought of putting a marriage certificate and adoption certificate on the door of a store? Isn't this tempting me?]
…
At the same time, after refreshing, another message was pushed up:
【Cooking a Kitchen】:
[Just came across another post. The poster there met two shop owners who were stocking up their products. They took a group photo and a screenshot. The little dragon in the photo was so cute that its chicken legs dropped out of fear. It even picked up the chicken legs. So cute. The poster said she wanted to hold the little dragon but couldn’t. Then the human shop owner took the little dragon back because he was afraid that she would touch it. It was so cute.]
Because of this statement, many people followed the shared link.
Jiang Yuanshi also crawled over.
Then I saw the poster’s excited speech and 18 pictures, including group photos and screenshots, but most of them were photos of him and Z01 together.
Many people below started to share their opinions and posted short fan fiction stories, while some people also said frankly that they couldn't accept it.
[Don’t you think they’re overselling it? They’re the most obvious in the whole game. I even suspect that the author read the fan fiction of the brave Znar and Sasa and came up with this. Suddenly, he couldn’t support it anymore. And it made me a little sad. When I saw this little dragon, I thought of my Sasa who has not returned home yet. I hate oe!!!]
[Same to me, but I'm not saying that the author's plot is bad, it's just that oe is so regretful, I've played the game all the way, I can't bear to see Sasa die, I feel like he is my little dragon woooooooooo]
[I thought it was Sasa when I saw the picture, they look so similar, but Sasa’s eyes are blue, not this color. At first I thought Sasa lost her memory and ran away with someone else, and then when I found this out, I went from being angry about being cheated on and abandoned to feeling sad. It turns out that my Sasa didn’t come back (crying) Sb author, when will you update!!! (I don’t mean to scold the author, the author’s first letters are S and b)]
[To be honest, I have a bold guess. This human hero has black hair, red eyes, and red earrings, which are all the matches in the player's wardrobe. He also has a dragon. I began to wonder if they are the real Znar and the dragon from the first generation. In fact, they are not dead, but just living in seclusion. Then they appear as Easter eggs. Is the author paving the way for a happy ending?]
[I believe it, begging for HE.]
[I beg for a follow-up to oe, I want a happy ending (life is already very hard in reality)]
