"Hey, who's who, where is Xinghua Village going?"

Looking at the player in front of him clicked on the option to ask for directions on the game interface, and then the dialog box popped up, Shen Mubai stood in place with an indifferent face, his long white wide sleeves covering his white and slender hands, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones.

As a small NPC specially used to guide the way and release side quests by the way, Shen Mubai's identity is a little apprentice under the ancestor of Xianmen Sword Cultivation, and the follow-up plot originally arranged according to the game plan, Shen Mubai will be upgraded with the game update, and turned into a new copy of **oss.

After all, the sword cultivator apprentice with the temperament of an immortal rebelled against the villain Shenma, which was the most exciting episode.

It's a pity that in this era, the competition in the game market is too fierce, and the technology is updated too quickly.

In the game market, there is already a rhythm of rushing to pounce.

The initial setting of the reversal was also shattered, leaving Shen Mubai, who was tall and strong in force, still fulfilling his duties as a passerby NPC.

*

"Hey, this passerby NPC doesn't look like a passerby at all, but it's very handsome." A player dressed as a heroine tilted his head and glared in surprise, "This look, it's the one I like." ”

"What's handsome or not, it's just a few jù spelled out, it's just a passerby, you might as well look at me, look at me, hey, pure natural looks."

"Go, go, what a shoehorn face looks good! I just like handsome guys, and passers-by like it too! ”

Shen Mu's inky black eyes as clear as white glass stared straight ahead, as if he had no reaction to the laughter and slapstick in front of him, as if he was isolated from another world.

As an inconspicuous little NPC, Shen Mubai's appearance is actually surprisingly good.

The facial features are clear and cold, although it is not the deep three-dimensional face that is most loved by the current mainstream aesthetics, but it is exquisite and flawless, full of classical temperament, between raising heads and low eyebrows, with the connotation of fairy spirit, there is a kind of temperament that is not a fairy but is better than a fairy.

But no matter how delicate the appearance is, it is common to put it in a large-scale holographic online game, after all, in the world of the game, the most worthless thing is a handsome skin, just a random character modeling, the number of copies can be easily pinched out, and there is no problem with any style you want.

If you see too much of all kinds of beauty, people's aesthetics will be tired, and for this reason, there was even a unique ugly and cute wind for a time. Therefore, Shen Mubai's handsome appearance is not conspicuous at all in the game world, but it is not visible to everyone.

At this moment, he was "a passerby's face", his eyebrows drooped slightly, and he recited the standard routine lines that had been repeated thousands of times and could even be recited backwards.

"Xinghua Village is located on two miles of road due south, and it is said that in recent months, villagers have been missing in the bushes in the southwest for no reason, and strange sounds are often heard in the village late at night, similar to women's whimpering. The old village chief is now looking for someone capable to break this trick, and if this prince passes through here, please pay attention to your own safety. ”

"Damn, this is a broken game, what the hell is a side quest, a waste of my time! Forget it, let's do it for the time being! ”

After saying this, after seeing that the player who had just left the novice village in front of him received the "Xinghua Village Strange Story" side quest here, Shen Mubai removed his faint and quiet eyes, slowly closed them and opened them again.

Looking at the foot of Xianmen Mountain, which was once very prosperous and crowded, it is now sparsely populated. With the exception of a few NPCs who are still standing in place and performing their duties, there are very few new players entering the game, usually not exceeding double digits throughout the day.

It's so boring that I want the rhythm of a dog.

I think of squatting in the corner of the wall and drawing circles

Counting,This holographic game should have been in operation for many years,According to the cycle calculation,The once popular large-scale game,Now it should be in decline,Can only rely on the once famous and lingering,Can only make emotional money。

At that time, when the game closes and stops operating, you don't know where to go, and maybe like other NPCs, you will throw it at the recycle station as a bunch of discarded numbers, and then mercilessly clean it all up with one click.

That's right, although Shen Mubai is just an NPC, he is different from other NPCs.

- He's a bug-like depository.

From the very beginning, Mu Bai knew very well that he was different from other NPCs.

A complete outlier.

Ever since he began to remember, Shen Mubai has been very aware that he is in a game.

Not only that, but he also has the same game system as the players, and its functionality is more powerful than that of ordinary players, not only has its own private space, but also can spy on other players' various status interfaces and ongoing actions, with a lot of anti-heaven functions, just like a walking VIP.

However, being fixed in the game world, Shen Mubai can only stream a little bit of jù to the network outside the game every day to understand the world outside the game, which is also his only pastime besides observing various players.

In order not to be detected by the game system as abnormal, he must devote himself to playing as a qualified NPC for twenty-four hours.

*

Shen Mubai summed it up, and the number of new players in the game this week fell to the lower limit, and only about 20 people came.

In the past, the server was crowded, and every time I heard players complain about the queue for a big battle.

Nowadays, even the public screen of the world does not move for a long time, and the messages from yesterday and the day before yesterday are all flipped around, and there are several NPCs standing around Shen Mubai, but they are all relatively low-intelligence, one by one either does not speak, or repeats the lines set day after day.

There seems to be no other person in the whole world who has independent consciousness and thought except him.

The surroundings seemed to be silenced in an instant, and it was terrifyingly quiet, so empty that he was the only one trapped here.

This feeling of being abandoned in no man's corner by the whole world is terrifying, and when the whole world stops where you are a conscious person, then the whole world becomes a silent, solid cage.

In fact, just now, Shen Mubai consciously released a few streams to capture some network information, and just flowed back. At the same time, he also vaguely knew one thing-

This holographic game, called "Xianmen", will be officially closed after the next update because of the company's poor operation.

It can't be said that the game is scrapped.,But it's acquired by a large game company.,It will be upgraded and revised soon.,Except for the main plot NPCs won't change.,Other passers-by, small fish and shrimp will be cleaned up.。

And the position where Shen Mubai is standing is said to be replaced by a glamorous girl who plays a small recharge advertisement.

In other words, perhaps soon, he will actually be thrown into the recycling station and destroyed as a piece of discarded number jù.

This may also be his last bit of time as an NPC.

"That's it, just let the main system take care of me."

Because such a "life" is too boring and boring.

Shen Mubai laughed, sighed "hypocritically", looked up at the sky of the game world, and found that a strange dark red had begun to float in the sky, slowly sweeping the entire sky like a flame.

At the same time, an update prompt began to appear on his game panel.

"A full update is about to start, please do your best to go offline."

"The countdown to the update of the forced offline system starts now, three two"

Suddenly, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and the heavens and the earth changed color.

At the same time, a thunder fire dragon with momentum fell from the sky like a thousand thunder dragons, galloping towards the absolutely safe area in the game world, and happened to slash straight down at Shen Mubai.

This luck! It's just a bunker!

Set the name of the little apprentice under the throne of the Sword Cultivation Ancestor, and Shen Mubai's own force value is also leveraged. His body's reaction was extremely fast, and between the lightning and fire, he just dodged the lightning strike.

I breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, but I never expected that this thunder was actually like a positioning missile, and it could be dodged and twisted to the side like a long snake, with a lightning thunder and fire, and went straight to Shen Mubai!

"Wait, what the hell is this?!"

"One."

The final countdown was like a death sentence, and before Shen Mubai could react, the pale thunder fire was like a fierce beast with teeth and claws, rushing towards him.

In the next second, Shen Mubai only felt a burning pain like a flame suddenly ignite all over his body, and then his eyes were dizzy, and he fell into a muddy darkness.
