It was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon when he went online again, and Tang Yi sat down in front of the computer again and found that Ning Qing's game character was also hanging up in the office in a daze.

But after seeing Tang Yi get up, Ning Qing immediately recovered from hanging up: "You still have to go to the old city to buy in the afternoon, I'll accompany you, I'm too bored here." ”

"Don't you have to give NPCs a lesson in the afternoon?"

"No, it's harvest season in the game world, and those NPCs have been very busy lately, so you can't push them too hard, otherwise it's not good to set off a rebellion."

The two walked and talked.

"How long has Teacher Ning been here?"

"I've been teaching Chinese for three years, and now I'm getting used to this kind of life."

"No wonder you're so familiar with this place, listen to what you mean, the NPCs in Naturalization Town have resisted before?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the old players that when Dawning City first captured the town, the townspeople had organized several riots, but they were all pacified by our players, and then the executives of Dawning City formulated a strategy of governing NPCs with NPCs, and elected obedient NPCs as mayors in the local area, and then the Naturalized Town slowly developed into what it is now."

It's getting more and more like colonization!

Tang Yi's heart was full of weirdness when he heard it, and he considered the wording: "Teacher Ning, do you think that these NPCs are too intelligent, they have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and they know how to resist and flattery, this is not like a computer program at all, it is just like a ......?"

Ning Qing followed the words: "It's like a living person, right?" ”

"That's right."

Ning Qing sighed unexpectedly: "Actually, in the past three years, I have become a little less and less aware of them as NPCs, the more you come into contact with this game, the more difficult it is to treat this place as just a game." ”

"What about the other veteran players, they didn't notice anything?"

Ning Qing was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look around, and after making sure that there was no one else nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "Do you know what the NPCs here call us?" ”

"Otherworldly." Tang Yi had listened to the NPCs' chats before.

"That's right, those old players have speculated in private, they think that this is not a game world at all, not even similar to an advanced artificial intelligence program, this is actually a real different world, have you read those online novels that travel through rebirth?"

Tang Yi in front of the computer frowned: "I've seen it, but if this is really another world, we are neither reborn nor crossed, is it the soul that has passed through?" But it doesn't make sense, after all, I'm still sitting on the computer. ”

Ning Qing was also stuck for a while: "I don't know this, and the old players dare to discuss this topic quietly, it is said that after reaching the bronze level, if you want to continue playing, you must report to the company's headquarters, and you have to sign a lot of confidentiality agreements, oh, it seems to be a confidentiality contract or something, in short, the old players are secretive about the game itself, and they don't want to say more." I'm a little bit more aware of a lot of people. ”

Tang Yi heard about this for the first time, his target was the bronze level, and he was a little surprised: "What if you don't want to report to the game company after you reach the bronze level?" ”

"I don't know, but those who don't want to report to the airport, no one has seen their game characters in Dawning City anymore, so it should be that the account is blocked and not logged in."

Tang Yi was a little silent, but he was still a long way from the bronze level, so he didn't have to worry about this problem for the time being.

There really is so much weirdness about this game.

Tang Yi actually noticed a lot of strange things in the first few days of playing, but that wasn't enough for him to care too much, he just ignored it as some kind of accident.

But as these weirdness accumulated more and more, it was already difficult to explain it by chance and coincidence every time, and the doubts circling in Tang Yi's heart became bigger and bigger, and he happened to find someone to talk to, and took the opportunity to ask Ning Qing a lot of things, but he felt that there were more doubts because of this.

The two soon arrived in the Old Town, and the neighborhood was crowded with players, and the sensitive topic was over.

This is what Naturalization Town looked like in its earliest days, and the new town was built after the player ruled it.

Ning Qing told him: "In fact, many of the old townspeople have moved their shops to the new city, and the executives' strategy of using NPCs to govern NPCs is very successful, so that many local NPCs are no longer afraid to contact us, but the foreign caravans are still suspicious of players, and they will only be very cautious about doing business in the old city." ”

"A merchant NPC from a world other than the Eastern Mountains?"

"That's right, all profiteers in the world are the same, they don't want money to die! Although these NPCs don't believe us and are afraid of death, they know that there is a big gap in the materials that players need, and we are very rich, and there are still people who risk running over the Eastern Mountains to do business, and the last few things on your supply list are not available locally in Naturalization Town, and can only be purchased from those foreign merchants. ”

Tang Yi swept through the list of supplies, and there were actually three things left that he hadn't bought yet: a bottle of the blood of the digging beast, five pieces of high-quality obsidian, and a bag of fresh fire pattern flower petals.

With Ning Qing's lead, Tang Yi first found the merchants of obsidian ore and fire pattern flowers, these foreign merchants almost did not know Chinese, Tang Yi's lingua franca was also half-hung, but Ning Qing's lingua franca spoke fluently, and there was no obstacle to answer.

The transaction went very smoothly, and Ning Qing also helped to suppress the price halfway, these merchants ventured over just to make money, and they didn't dare to offend the players too much, and the final transaction price was a little cheaper than expected, although Tang Yi didn't care about this money, he still expressed his gratitude.

"How many levels of lingua franca are you?" Tang Yi asked curiously.

"Advanced LV9."

"I'm only at the basic level LV2, how can I get to the advanced level?"

"The basic language mastery is basically a bottleneck after being promoted to LV9, if you want to continue to upgrade to the advanced level, you must go through continuous oral practice, it is best to talk to people who are proficient in this language, I teach here every day, teach more, and the level of the lingua franca will naturally come up."

Although it sounds incredible, it is obviously a language skill in the game, but you still need to practice speaking to improve the level.

Just like English in reality, it is useless to only write and not speak, so his basic dragon language is stagnant at LV9 and difficult to improve, except for Professor Song, he can't find anyone who can speak dragon language in Dawn City to practice speaking with himself, and Professor Song seems to be busy with something during this time, and he rarely appears in the library.

There was still a last bottle of the blood of the Digger Beast, but Ning Qing's character stood in place and didn't immediately take him over, and seemed a little hesitant.

Tang Yi thought that he was embarrassed, so he understood: "Teacher Ning, if you are in a hurry, go and get busy first, I am already very grateful to you today, anyway, there is still some time before the sun goes down, I can find it by myself." ”

He saw that there were obviously a lot more players on the streets of the old city than in the new city, which was really not good, and Tang Yi could also ask for directions.

Ning Qing waved his hand again and again, and his tone seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Where did I come from, I don't have to go to class for the past two days, it's just that the blood of the digging beast you want is estimated to have to go to that place to buy it, uh, okay, let's take you to see it." ”

Tang Yi didn't understand what "that place" meant, but Ning Qing refused to elaborate, so he had to follow all the way first.
