Chapter Sixteen

8:20 Earth time.

Twenty minutes after the "Alien" game was officially launched, about three out of ten players... died offline.

In the square town hall, Yang Qiu, who was sitting here, silently supported his forehead.

Just how much the player group loves death, Yang Qiu is psychologically prepared, but the efficiency of death is so high and the proportion of death is so large, he is a little caught off guard...

Challenge the bottom line of NPC interaction. Even if you were killed by a group of former thieves, you have seen the video posted by vanilla pudding and knew that the big mouse in the south of the town is not at all comparable to players at this stage, but there are still such a group of people online. Immediately afterwards, he ran excitedly and tried to leapfrog the Novice Village BOSS, trying to seize the so-called first opportunity... This is very nonsense!

"—It’s not going to work like this. If you always die and go offline, you can’t talk about serving as a stable anchor."

Yang Qiu pondered, stood up, and threw a sealing spell on the town hall building so that dead players would try to break in, open the space-time rift and return to the earth.

He decided to "borrow" the images taken by the camera of the player's internal device, and put these death scenes of the dead players together into a fancy death collection video to put on the official website; re-emphasize that they will be kicked offline after death. , The severe punishment of having to wait for one hour in game time and half an hour in real time to go online... I hope it can be a starting point to discourage these guys who love to make trouble.

Here Yang Qiu returned to the earth. Outside, a group of players who got together because of looking for NPCs found in front of the town hall.

"Wow... such an earthen-walled house is actually the town hall? This thing is the central building in the birthplace of our undead race? This is too awkward!"

Seeing the "Exiled Town Government Office" sign hung on the square door of the earth-walled house, the players showed terrible expressions...even if you are in a dungeon like the Undercity, the Queen of Greece lives in a city like Inside the decent palace; even the tauren who lives on the mountain, the chief’s tent is more decent than your earthen house!

"A bunch of transfer mentors are still squatting in tents and expecting players to help them build professional guilds. Let's not expect anything from the shabby games here and out." Tang Jia waved his hand and stepped forward to pat the door. "Someone Are you there, is the wizard here, hello?"

Of course, there was no response.

"What's the matter, still can't open the door if the NPC is not there?"

"These NPCs can chase out two streets and hack people to death. It's impossible not to open the door."

"That's because the person is not there, I rely on, NPC still fishes."

Immediately a player with strong mobility tried to pry the window: "Let's see if I can turn the window to get in... Oh, this broken window is so strong?"

"Can the window smash open?"

"Hey, this is the town hall anyway, it will be hacked to death by NPC."

Except for a few people in this group who knew each other, most of them were strangers who gathered together to find a certain NPC. Seeing that there was no NPC in the town hall, someone said: "Forget it, just can't find a magic teacher. Let’s not look for it. My friend and I will do the zombie NPC mission first. Anyway, we have to reach level one before we can transfer. The potential value is not old or young."

"That's right. Watching the vanilla pudding video, they did several tasks before adding a little potential. This game seems to be very difficult to upgrade."

"What is good for the task of the zombie NPC, it is better to be a life professional instructor first..."

Seeing the crowd dispersed one after another, Tang Jia greeted him: "Have you continued to look for the warrior mentor together?"

A player who was standing still and looking around quickly followed: "I'm with you."

The ID on the top of the player's head seems to be his real name. They are called Yang Ying. Tang Jia and Fa Xiao Zheng Qingyue are both young girls, and naturally they will not refuse female players to join.

The three female players got together and continued to act. The cheerful Tang Jia quickly chatted with Yang Ying: "Do you use your real name as the ID?"

"Yes, I haven't played games before and don't use the Internet very much. I can't think of a good ID for a while." Yang Ying said calmly.

"Huh?" Tang Jia said in surprise, "Listening to your voice, it should be about the same as ours?"

"I should be older than you two, I'm twenty-two." Yang Ying said.

"I'm not much older either. Qingyue and I are both in their 20s and are in our sophomore year. How about you?"

Yang Ying smiled open-mindedly: "A college student, I am not a college student. A few years ago, there was an accident at home during the college entrance examination and it was delayed. After graduating from high school, I started working and I didn't have time to play."

Tang Jia and Fa Xiaozheng Qingyue looked at each other and took the initiative to change the subject...

Their families are ordinary people. Before they went to university, they thought that all their families were similar. Only after they went to university, they knew that the rich people are really rich, and the poor people are really poor—the living expenses are not enough to pay for the meal card, and they barely study. Those students who had to suspend school due to family difficulties after two years have all heard of it.

While chatting, the three of them walked around the place where the town of Exile, which was originally small, hadn't been visited before, and found...a tent hidden alone behind an earth wall.

"Yes!" Tang Jia's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "The NPCs listed in the announcement have not been seen except for the magic teacher. We have seen the other eighteen. This must be the tent of the weapon master! Hurry up! , Find where that NPC is!"

Yang Ying was walking with them for so long, and I heard that Tang Jia Amway had a lot of benefits of playing warriors. Originally, she just went online to see if the games her brother participated in were genuine. She also had a little bit of playing games. If he is interested, he also actively helps to find NPC.

The three quickly searched the surroundings and found the last NPC—the young man with "Charlie Rex" and "Weapon Master Instructor" above his head.

After discovering this NPC... including Yang Ying, the game Xiaobai, the three female players are all dumbfounded.

This NPC is very similar to other high-level NPCs in terms of dress. It has a fantasy-style and capable outfit. The material is thick and tight. The material is dark and strong. The arm wears a leather case wrapped with beef tendon. A row of delicate leather bags is hung on the belt. She wears knee pads on her knees. The shoes are thick-soled high boots. She also wears a half-length armor that protects her chest and abdomen.

Such a "brave" NPC that seems to have come out of a fantasy movie that pays attention to details... but it is sitting on the ground, with its back against the earth wall, head tilted, hands hanging on both sides of the body, pale and full of head. In a cold sweat, his eyelids closed tightly, and his mouth seemed to be whispering indistinct syllables.

"Let's fall into a big trough-why is the warrior mentor this virtue?" Tang Jia was dumbfounded, "Why, this guy is so like the drug addicts who have committed withdrawal reactions in the movie?!"

Tang Jia’s hairpin Zheng Qingyue squatted down and looked at it carefully, shook her head and said, “Although it looks like a withdrawal reaction...but if you have a withdrawal reaction, you should not be able to control your tears and nose, and your emotional performance will be more intense, and you will not be so peaceful."

Yang Ying was surprised to look at this girl who usually behaves very quietly and has no sense of existence.

What surprised Yang Ying even more was...Zheng Qingyue actually got close to the NPC, opened the eyelids of the NPC with one hand, and shook the other hand in front of the NPC's eyes...

"The pupils show signs of dilation, but they still respond to the light reflected by the bones. Is it a brain injury?" Zheng Qingyue muttered to herself, hugging the NPC's head with her hands, and roughly checked it again, "It's not like an injury, that's it. Parasympathetic nerve fiber disease causes oculomotor nerve palsy?"

"The lips have no different color, no peculiar smell, and the color of the mucous membrane is normal. It should not be poisoned..."

Under the horrified gaze of Tang Jia & Yang Ying, Zheng Qingyue also put the finger joints into the NPC's throat: "No retching, no vomit, and it is ruled out that the vomit blocks the trachea and causes difficulty in breathing. Insufficient blood supply to the brain."

"It's probably because a certain stimulus produced a strong stress response." Zheng Qingyue let go of the NPC's head, "There is no tranquilizer in the game that can give him a shot, what should I do?"

"NPC will be stressed?" Tang Jia looked incredible.

"It's not that they will kill people if they are in a bad mood." Zheng Qingyue said.

"Then what should I do, wait for this NPC to wake up by himself?" Yang Ying curiously asked. She has never played a game anyway, and she doesn't know what a normal NPC in a normal game should be...and she doesn't think there is anything particularly strange about the NPC in this game.

"It's very troublesome..." Zheng Qingyue thought, hugging her chest.

Rex, who was in a nightmare, seemed to hear the voice of a young lady's conversation in a daze.

Their voices are crisp, melodious, and carefree, as if they have a relaxing infectious power, which makes Rex, who is suffering from nightmares, unconsciously relax, and the terrifying phantom that seems to swallow him completely. It seems that they are gradually moving away because of the interference of these young ladies.

Charlie Rex's eyelids moved and slowly opened.

Three skeletons surrounded him, and six deep eyes stared at him.

"?!"

Charlie Rex sat up suddenly.

"Wow, I'm awake!" The three skeletons stepped back a little bit quickly, but still surrounded him, and made a surprised and delighted young lady's voice.

Rex was dumbfounded.

The hideous skeleton of the skeleton, the crisp, sweet, and warm voice of a young lady... The huge contrast made Charlie Rex, who had just woke up, a strong sense of absurdity and disobedience. He felt that the reason he had just stabilized was fast. Churn —

"Hello, Charlie Rex, are there any assignments released?"

One of the skulls with the green font of "sandwich gummy" on his head eagerly leaned in front of Rex.

The lively, cheerful, confident and generous young lady’s voice has obvious expectations. If Rex closes his eyes, he will definitely feel throbbing...

However, with his eyes wide open, he could clearly see that the deceptive voice was an old corpse that had been buried in the mud for many years.

The nightmare hasn't woken up yet...?

Rex closed his eyes and walked back slowly.

"Damn! Give me the task to dizzy again!" Tang Jia was anxious, and grabbed Rex's collar, "What's the matter with this NPC, what's the task? Are you not a fighter transfer instructor!"

Rex's body shook, and he woke up suddenly.

His current state is actually much better than when he was in Sorensen. The spiritual anchors connected in the brand matrix greatly improve his intellectual stability, at least as if he was picked up by Yang Qiu, he directly gave up treating improper people. The situation will never happen again.

For example, now, when he was reminded by Tang Jia, he finally remembered what he should be doing now... In order to stay sensible and get the qualification to stay in the brand matrix and share the anchor point with the black magician, he must play his role well. -Become a warrior transfer mentor in the town of Exile, where the undead race was born!

So Rex energized himself, tried his best to maintain his sense and calmness, and looked at Don Jia who was eager to get the task...

"Friends of the undead, the undead is not suitable for being a warrior." Charlie Rex, who recovered his sanity, said in a daze.

Tang Jia: "..."

Zheng Qingyue & Yang Ying: "..."

"Does your NPC still engage in racial discrimination?!" Tang Jia was furious, "Am I willing to choose the undead? Is there another choice for me? Don't be long-winded, give me a task!"

"Don't get excited about Tang Jia, it's not cost-effective to be cut off." Zheng Qingyue quickly persuaded.

Yang Ying has a rare face: "NPC will also persuade players to leave? Online games are like this?"

"Usually it shouldn't be like this..." Zheng Qingyue looked embarrassed, she didn't know how to explain to the game Xiaobai, Yang Ying, "Maybe this NPC has a bug, right?"

Charlie Rex didn’t understand what they were talking about, and said seriously: “The undead is really not suitable for being a warrior. If you desire close combat, Deathwalker and Death Knight are better choices. If you are obsessed with this, you It will only follow a path full of thorns."

"Oh!" Tang Jia looked stunned, and let go of his bones, "Damn, I thought this NPC was out of order and didn't give the task. It turned out to be a persuasive procedure. Don't be long-winded, come on. Give the task!"

Rex: "...I mean it, ma'am."

"I'm serious too, why is the dialogue plot so long?" Tang Jia muttered impatiently.

Rex stared silently at this persistent skeleton lady...

Obviously it is a skeleton undead who is not suitable to be a soldier. She is obviously a young lady, but still persistently pursues the way of a warrior. This kind of spirit touches Rex a little bit.

"Well, I hope you never regret your choice." Rex sighed lightly, and released the task to Don Jia.

"Received the task!" Tang Jia lifted up his spirits and hurriedly greeted Yang Ying.

"Hello, Charlie Rex, are there any tasks released?" Yang Ying stepped forward and interacted like Tang Jia.

In the spirit of fulfilling the duty of guidance as a mentor, Rex still tried his best to persuade him... and was entangled in posting tasks.

After receiving the quest props, the three of them left Rex and walked to the construction site enthusiastically, discussing as they walked: "I have experience, the more difficult to obtain the job, the more powerful it is. This transfer weapon master cannot do it in the late advanced stage. It's so fierce, Sister Ying, after we turn the soldiers together, should we turn to weapon wars together?"

"Okay, I don't know how to play anyway, just teach me how to play."

"Then I will give you some milk and add blood to you."

"Hey Qingyue is the best!"

Charlie Rex who was just still pleased that the undead lady who is not suitable to be a warrior (...) is so persistent in pursuing the way of power: "??"

Wait! Do you want to be fighters just because you think fighters are mighty? !

This kind of evil pursuit is a blasphemy to the soldiers!

Sooner or later you will get lost in the power dilemma!

Rex, who was so angry, suddenly his expression stagnated.

Wait—if you don’t respect the honor of a soldier, you will get lost in a power dilemma and be contaminated by evil coming in. What happened to him...what?

Rex felt his head hurt again, and there was another vision in front of him.

"No, no... I'm different... I'm just, just..."

Rex supported the earth wall and sat down slowly.

There was a thought in his mind that made him incredibly hard to ignore.

"Could it be that...I was the one who was wrong? Is my persistence, my persistence in the way of strength wrong?"

Rex tried his best to stay sane, forcing himself to ignore the illusion and staring at the undead lady who started to "do the task" happily.

"Perhaps... these undead who treat warrior spirit as a child's play can give me an answer."

Then... Rex witnessed the three giggling, unremarkable undead ladies, doing the task in one breath until dark.

During the period, the skeleton that did not accept the task left for a while, and when he returned, he complained dissatisfied about something like "I found Yang, I can't brush up the reputation of this NPC if he is less than the first level", and then continued to help his companion with the task.

Relying on the untired spirits' indefatigable racial traits and no need to eat and sleep, three undeads with little power just cleared out a small piece of the planned construction of the Warriors Guild...

In the meantime, Rex saw the lady skeleton who was holding his collar quite rudely and suddenly jumped up with joy, and announced extremely loudly and joyfully: "My potential has increased a little bit! I can even do it without a task. Is it possible to increase the potential value as long as the mission is in progress?"

"Ah, I have gone up a little too!" The other skeleton lady seemed very happy too.

They happily talked to each other, guessed the rules for increasing the potential value, and then continued to clean up after a short rest...

Rex really couldn't understand why these undead were willing to insist on doing such a boring "task" for the reason that they all regarded it as a trivial "becoming a warrior". They walked out from under the earth wall and walked slowly to the side of the construction site.

Before Rex thought about how to talk to him, it was not against Yang's rules, he heard the undead lady "Sandwich" make a speech that made him instantly creepy...

"It's getting dark? My sight is not affected. I didn't even notice." Tang Jia held the pickaxe in one hand and touched his empty belly with the other. "I'm a little hungry, how about you?"

"Yes, we've been playing for so long without knowing it, and I'm hungry too." Yang Ying said.

Rex's complexion changed suddenly, and he instinctively backed away quietly...Even if Yang repeated several times that these undead guests were "safe and harmless" to them, it was still terrifying to hear the undead talk about hunger at night!

"It’s a bit weird. When we entered the game, the game time was four o’clock in the afternoon. Now it’s nine o’clock in the evening. If we calculate the actual time, it means that we have just entered the game and played for two and a half hours. I drank a large bowl of cereal in the morning. Feeling hungry after only two and a half hours?" Zheng Qingyue asked in confusion.

"Is it because we have been doing physical work in the game?" Tang Jia said while packing up the tools, "We are playing the game wearing a helmet, right? Then, are our activities in the game related to our brain waves? Relationship? The brain waves are always highly active so you are hungry fast?"

"...It seems reasonable." Zheng Qingyue knocked the shovel on the stone, knocked off the mud and handed it to Tang Jia, "After handing in the task, I will go off the assembly line and have a meal before going up. Do you want to come to me to eat?"

"Okay, I'll bring the helmet over and play with you after eating." Tang Jia nodded quickly.

"Then I'm offline and call for a takeaway." Zheng Qingyue turned to look at Yang Ying, "Sister Ying, are you still going there this afternoon?"

"Go." Yang Ying said with a smile, "I was planning to launch the screenshots and videos, but I went offline and continued to fight with people, but now I don't want to take care of those fights. There is no fun in the game."

Tang Jia said happily, "That's a deal. Let's meet again in one hour, one hour in real time."

The three came out from the "construction site" talking and laughing, and approached Rex to hand in the task.

Although he didn't understand, Rex, who vaguely understood that he seemed to have misunderstood something, silently settled the rewards for Tang Jia and Yang Ying...

After adding the "smart NPC", Yang Qiushun also modified the task reward mode. Whether it is a normal task issued by a zombie NPC or a prestige task issued by a smart NPC, it is settled according to the task contribution.

Except for the one-time novice benefits of giving players clothing, the rest of the tasks are based on the newly added small program in the brand matrix to settle the rewards according to the player's effective working hours in the task (no draw, hard work), and also in the brand matrix " The "connected" "NPCs" can be fair and just by following the prompts of the matrix feedback.

"Effective working hours, 400 prestige and eight copper coins?" Tang Jia played with the copper coins issued by Rex curiously. "This coin looks like a game coin in an arcade."

Zheng Qingyue also curiously leaned in to see: "The reward for the task has been changed. I watched the vanilla pudding video before and I didn't give a reward for doing the task."

Yang Ying took the copper coin and looked at the two little sisters who had just met in a studious manner: "How do I put away this game coin?"

Tang Jia & Zheng Qingyue: "..."

"I don't have a backpack at all by this game! Such a big bug has never been corrected!" Tang Jia was trembling with anger, "Fuck, we are all bare bones, where do we put the money?!"

Rex thought about having misunderstood these three undead ladies before. To apologize, he proactively reminded: "Undead friends, there is a tailor named Arisa who sells pockets in the wooden house near the town hall. You can come to him. Go buy it."

"Oh!" The three players remembered the intelligent NPC who teaches life and professional tailors that no one cares about, and hurriedly bid farewell to Rex and hurried over.

Rex watched them go away, glanced at the sky, fell back into his tent, lit the alcohol lamp and set up a bonfire.

Yang Qiu is not too demanding for their work. From 8 am to 10 pm, they must move around their posts, subject to the players finding them. As long as you don’t run too far, don’t hide them deliberately, you don’t have to lie down and sleep all day long. problem.

Even in terms of the most stringent tool management, Yang Qiu actually did not impose restrictions on not allowing players to take away the tools...Anyway, the player’s range of activities is under the supervision of the matrix, no matter where the player takes the tool, he can receive it. return.

What Yang Qiu really restricts is not to allow players to use "task props" to do things. For example, a group of people led a cleanup task and carried a pickaxe to give heads to the novice village boss, or used to fight against each other. What... This is the only way to limit the quest props to be used only in the quest area.

Although these task props are actually collected from the second-hand market and waste recycling stations, the cost is very low, but who calls Yang Qiu is poor...

In short, Rex, who did not need to host too many players because of the relatively secretive stay, was completely under the pressure of Hal. He sent the three undead ladies away, Rex got some food and took the tools back into the tent. He declared off work and raised the tent to sleep.

At 11 o'clock in the middle of the night and noon in real time, a large group of players headed by Qin Guan of ID Vanilla Pudding entered the planned construction site of the Warriors Guild.

"The warrior instructor who said ‘sandwich candy’ on the message board should be here...ah, there!"

A group of undead who naturally possessed night vision ability, with piercing eyes, looked at the quiet neighborhood that was no different from the daytime in their eyes, and soon discovered that a small vacant lot had been cleared.

"The NPC's tent said it was behind a wall of earth... there is it, here it is!"

"What about NPC people?"

"It seems to be sleeping."

"I still need to sleep with NPCs?! It's too much, let people not take the task!"

"Charlie Rex! Charlie Rex is there, scream!"

"Don't sleep, get up and send the task!"

Inside the tent, Rex held his head in his hands, opened his bloodshot eyes, and stared at the top of the tent blankly.

Do these **** undead really understand the word "excessive" they themselves said-the weapon master was so puzzled.
