Chapter 19: Who is not an NPC
Players can live forever in GAMES WORLD if they want to, if you have the money.
——
"If I'm not mistaken, system NPCs should have the role of training newcomers and guiding the development of the plot at the same time." Qi Zhen said slowly.
"And Han Chen is just such an NPC!" Qi Zhen said categorically.
"From the perspective of training newcomers, I prefer that he will be more in line with the team's strategy of cultivating newcomers, such as our team, if laissez-faire is the training method of the team, then it is actually contrary to Han Chen's own mission, if you are Han Chen, what will you do?"
Qi Zhen's words made everyone fall into deep thought, only Xiaobai still looked at him with a smile.
"You don't have to think too hard, I'll tell you how he did it, he chose a very clever method, and that is to get close to the newcomer!"
Qi Zhen looked at Yu Liang and said, "Are you very disdainful of his approach?" ”
Yu Liang nodded.
"This is what he can't do, it seems that his purpose is to exploit newcomers, but in fact, he is still guiding newcomers to complete the game, only in this way will his behavior be reasonable, training you to get close to you, approaching you is to exploit you, so it makes sense."
"In terms of advancing the story, wouldn't this game be too simple if we performed very well like this one, completed all the tasks that needed to complete the story on the lawn, and successfully resisted the zombie invasion?" Qi Zhen said.
Every time Qi Zhen talked about the simplicity of Plants vs. Zombies, she would be served by Yu Liang and Jiang Yan, and this time it was not surprising.
"So what he has to do is to forcibly advance the development of the plot, I have been speculating before, why Han Chen can do it to such an extent, and then I really can't figure it out, until we defeat Dave."
Qi Zhen's hand pointed at Xiaobai.
"If he can participate in the game as an NPC, why can't our teammates be NPCs?"
Everyone was lost in thought at one time.
"This thing...... No way. At this moment, Li Qiang, who was in front of the touch screen, finally spoke slowly.
"But Captain, you heard what you just said." Jiang Yan said.
Everyone knew she was referring to the system voice ringing in their ears.
"But I'm ...... Still can't believe it. Li Qiang's slightly hoarse but firm voice still came slowly.
"Captain, I think you may have misunderstood something." Qi Zhen became very serious and said to Li Qiang.
"What do you mean?" Yu Liang asked.
Qi Zhen paused word by word, and said slowly: "You must understand one thing!" ”
"Even if we come out of each individual game, we are still in the game!"
There was a shock in everyone's hearts.
"That's right, if you can figure this out, it will be very meaningful for us as a team and for each of you." Qi Zhen said.
"Look at him." Qi Zhen pointed at Xiaobai.
"Is he real?"
"And those." Qi Zhen pointed to the touch screens floating in the air.
"Do you think that's real?"
"And this." Qi Zhen picked up Yu Liang's iron-tired bow.
"Do you think that's real?" Qi Zhen asked Yu Liang.
"So!" Qi Zhen's eyes slowly swept over everyone.
"We're still in the game, it's just that the games we participate in are just games within a game!"
"I know you're right, but I really need an explanation." Li Qiang said.
"Regarding Han Chen, I can never believe that he is just a character in a game."
Li Qiang closed his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.
"When Han Chen joined the team, at that time, just like you, he almost didn't understand anything, we went through life and death together, struggling in one game after another, I still remember him telling me that he was an orphan, so he didn't want to go back, the world over there was far less than this world for him to be nostalgic for, so he was with his teammates, constantly overcoming every game and every difficulty, which was the happiest thing for him."
Li Qiang said, a crystal tear slipped from the corner of his eye.
The inadvertent sadness of the tough guy is the most moving.
"Do you know that I once played a game, a very classic domestic RPG game, called The Legend of Sword and Fairy, in the fourth part, the protagonist is called Yun Tianhe, he ended up blind, and his partner died, but he was made a joke by a certain dragon and Hades, so that he would never die, do you know how painful he is in front of his wife's grave every day?"
Everyone was puzzled, wondering why Qi Zhen suddenly mentioned another game.
"I don't know how much pain he felt at the time, but I was deeply touched by that feeling."
Qi Zhen's voice was a little low.
"The least we know is that we're in the middle of a huge game, and we're playing as the only one we have."
"Then please tell me, that guy named Yun Tianhe, does he know that he is in the game, just a game character?"
Everyone was silent, including Li Qiang, who was crying silently.
"The thing I want to tell you all is that as long as the game continues, this will never end."
"I pity Han Chen's plight, but how can you be sure that he knows that he is an NPC?" Qi Zhen continued.
"Maybe the system gave him such a design, and he can only keep moving forward in such a fate, until at some point, according to the requirements of the system, he becomes a villain, and then dies." Qi Zhen said, revealing irrepressible sadness in her tone.
"And how can this not be the case with each of us?"
Qi Zhen finally finished her conclusion and let out a long sigh.
"So why do you say that this squad is not strong?" Yu Liang said.
"I didn't mean to fight you, but no one said that there was only one NPC advancing the game." Qi Zhen said.
Everyone's bodies shook again.
"I'll give you an example, Meng Ran said she was a policeman, but does she have to be really a policeman?" Qi Zhen said.
"Maybe this is a setting imposed on her by the system? If one day in a certain game, Meng Ran suddenly received an order, or no order at all, but she herself thought that the decisions of the whole team were wrong, and she had to do it according to her own ideas, and took the initiative to promote the development of the plot, and finally proved that she was also an NPC, are you ready to accept this result? ”
"No, no, no, I'm not an NPC, I'm really a real person, I was born in Minhang District, Shanghai, my ancestors were policemen, and my parents were also policemen, so I decided to take the police university, I ......" Meng Ran hurriedly explained.
"We believe you, because it must be the most confident memory in your mind, but we can't prove whether these memories are imposed on you by the system, and you can't prove it yourself."
Everyone was silent.
Because they knew that what Qi Zhen said was true, and this situation could happen to each of them.
"Speaking of which, you're the only one who looks like an NPC the most, right?" Jiang Yan said at this time.
Qi Zhen knew that she wanted to ease the quiet and oppressive atmosphere, smiled slightly, and nodded at Jiang Yan.
"I can't believe and identify myself right now, just like all of you, but the only difference between me and you is that I can accept that I'm a virtual NPC, and I happen to be good at living in the game, or better living, and besides, who says that what I'm doing now isn't the mission that someone else gave me?"
Although everyone's faces are still not good-looking, they are already much stronger than just now.
"Yes, life is a big dream, who is not in a huge game?" Lin Xiao, who had been silent, spoke at this time.
"Yohe, our Lin Sect Leader, understand?" Qi Zhen quipped.
"I still don't know how to play the game if I don't understand, but I want to live and quickly accumulate enough points to leave this broken game." Lin Xiao said.
Li San snapped his fingers.
"That's right, although we have different purposes and different reasons for coming here, but one thing is that none of us want to die in this kind of place for no reason."
"So, since it's hard to stand alone, let's unite and live well!" Li San said.
"Yes, live."
"Live!"
Xiao Bai on the side looked at the re-energized crowd, bowed slightly, and muttered, "It's finally a bit of a team." ”
Qi Zhen continued: "Don't be in a hurry to fight chicken blood, the reason why I want to say this is to remind you old people, in the previous game process, have you ever encountered a sudden betrayal by your teammates, or your teammates have done something unbelievable, causing things to not develop according to your previous ideas?" ”
"And after those mistakes or deliberate mistakes, did you have attrition, and the attrition of teammates died inexplicably, which made you feel unbelievable?"
This time, not only Yu Liang and Jiang Yan, but Li Qiang also showed a surprised expression.
"Judging by your expressions, I know I'm not mistaken, and it is." Qi Zhen sighed.
"That's how you've been living...... The reason for the hard work. Qi Zhen continued.
"You mean......" Yu Liang looked at Qi Zhen and then at Jiang Yan.
"Yes, you are right, those people have a high probability of being like Han Chen. Next, please give me a little time, I want to take a good look at the exchange items in this preparation hall, and then I will divide the money with everyone again, and the points are the same, I think the unified arrangement will be better. Qi Zhen said.
"Captain......" Yu Liang looked at Li Qiang.
"I'm not your captain anymore, he is." Li Qiang said.
"No, you will always be the captain, a person like me, it's okay to be a staff member, if you want to talk about leadership, I'm far behind." Qi Zhen shook her head, unwilling to accept it.
"It's too late, I've already handed over the captaincy to you." Li Qiang said.
"Then I can hand it over again." Qi Zhen said.
"It costs a lot of money to hand over a captain." Li Qiang said.
"Yes, then I'll be reluctant to make it difficult, and I'll hang my name first." Qi Zhen was happy.
Everyone despised Qi Zhen again, but Qi Zhen didn't care and threw her fists at everyone.
"Concession and concession."
"Xiaobai, is there anything else we need to know now?" Qi Zhen asked.
"No, I have already told you all the information you must know, if you have any questions, you can come to me at any time, no matter where you are, just call my name directly." Xiaobai said.
"So when are we going to start the next game?" Qi Zhen asked.
"There is no fixed time for this, and the system will prompt all team members ten days, three days, and one day before the game starts."
"Understood, thank you." Qi Zhen nodded.
"Xiaobai is happy to serve you." The pink-haired maid vanished in an instant, leaving only the team members in the preparation hall.
"Next, let's take a look!" Qi Zhen walked to the touch screen and rubbed her hands.
