Although the NPC's guidance was a little vague, but fortunately, the town of naturalization was not big, and after following the clean path and making two detours, Tang Yi quickly stopped in front of a two-story building, the whole building was built in a very chic way, and there was a small and exquisite garden next to it, which looked like it was from the player's hand.

The safest place that the NPC thinks is probably here.

Tang Yi first walked around the neighborhood, constantly turning his perspective to look around, and then he saw a large signboard erected outside the open iron gate, with several large characters written on it: Naturalization Town Chinese Training Course. There are also slightly smaller lines of font next to the Chinese characters, which are written in the lingua franca of the world.

Tang Yi finally knew where the awkward Chinese of the townspeople here came from, but he also felt very strange, this game was simply able to teach NPCs to learn Chinese.

While thinking about it, a cautious voice came from behind: "May I ask who you are?" ”

Speaking in the lingua franca of the game, but with a thick player accent, Tang Yi turned his perspective and saw a young man dressed in casual clothes looking at him with a vigilant gaze.

"Hello." Tang Yi said hello, in Chinese.

The vigilance in the young man's eyes suddenly dissipated, and the right hand placed on the hilt of the sword was also released, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be my own person, you can scare me, usually players who come to Dawn City for official business rarely come to my training class." ”

The difference between Tang Yi's accent and the indistinguishable Chinese of NPC townspeople is very obvious, so he doesn't need to explain much at all.

"My name is Tang Yi, and I made a special trip from Shuguang to purchase it today, but do I look like a bad person?" Tang Yi joked, not minding the other party's caution.

"My name is Ning Qing, and I am the teacher of this training class, hahaha, didn't anyone tell you, your back is really a little similar to the NPCs in this game, maybe I deal with this group of NPCs every day, and I almost didn't recognize it."

Tang Yi smiled and shook his head, along the way, there were still a lot of differences between the NPCs and players he had seen, but he noticed Ning Qing's words, and was a little surprised: "You come here every day?" Teach those NPCs to learn Chinese? ”

Ning Qing smiled bitterly: "Yes, the devil knows what this game is about, at that time I was just bored to sign up for the game test, but the game company hired me directly with a high salary because I had a teacher qualification certificate, I really didn't expect that the teacher certificate I finally got was actually used to teach NPCs in the game." ”

This is really a teacher, but Tang Yi already knows a professor who plays games, so he doesn't feel too strange that the teacher appears in the game.

"Can I go in and have a tour?" Tang Yi suddenly became curious.

"Of course, this place is completely open to us players, anyway, I'm fine at noon, let's go together." Ning Qing also seemed quite enthusiastic, and immediately took Tang Yi into the building.

"On the first floor is the adult department, but the learning ability of adult NPCs is too poor, and it is enough to barely teach them to learn pinyin and some common words. You don't know how uncomfortable it is for me, a person with Mandarin obsessive-compulsive disorder, to listen to those Chinese with no distinction between the front and back nasal sounds all day, and today I was almost moved to cry when I heard your pure Chinese. ”

Listening to Ning Qing's excited tone, it didn't seem like a complete exaggeration, but Tang Yi could also understand the reason why he was so guilty and still wanted to stay here, and asked, "Teachers' salaries are very high." ”

"That's a must, when I gave up so many benefits in reality, the real teacher didn't do it, instead of running to play games, my parents were so angry that they almost broke off the relationship with me, and without so much money, it couldn't be worth it."

After a pause, Ning Qing sighed: "This game is really strange enough, I have to spend more than an hour every day to go back and forth between Naturalization Town and Dawn City, making it the same as going to work, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that I really can't stand those five-tone incomplete Chinese, it is still very comfortable here, we players are like nobles in the eyes of these NPCs." ”

Tang Yi thought it was true, he had already learned that kind of flattering enthusiasm and instinctive fear.

Several times he had the illusion that he was not facing an NPC made of virtual data at all, but a real person who came to life.

Ning Qing continued to take Tang Yi to the second floor: "The second floor is for underage NPCs, and the company still attaches great importance to the education of NPC children, which is my main task, and teaching Chinese to those adult NPCs is incidental." ”

Although the classroom here is smaller than the first floor, the equipment is obviously more advanced, and Tang Yi even saw something similar to a projector, as well as a bunch of textbooks such as "Chinese Level 46" and "Three Years of Chinese Five-Year Simulation", from which he could feel the world's deep malice towards those NPC children.

But Tang Yi still felt weird, and as he slowly got to know it, he felt more and more that the Dark Gate didn't look like an ordinary adventure game at all.

Tang Yi asked, "Teacher Ning, what kind of game do you think this world of the Dark Gate is?" ”

Teacher Ning looked at the sky for a while: "Role-playing game? Otherworldly adventures? Farming game? ”

Tang Yi couldn't help but say the thoughts that had been circling in his heart for several days: "Build your own central city, continuously attract players from all walks of life, capture other people's towns, destroy the rule of local NPC forces, and then incorporate them into the jurisdiction of our players, and force local NPCs to learn Chinese, don't you think this is clearly playing a colonial game." ”

"Colonizing the Otherworld? Sounds like that. ”

"It's just that I still don't understand the purpose of the game company to make this game, the gameplay is so bad, it's impossible to expect this game to make money, and it may go bankrupt at a loss, but I don't seem to have heard of which game company it is, Mr. Ning, do you understand?"

"I don't know, at that time, I only remember that the company that poached me to change jobs was called Shengyuan, oh yes, it should be Shengyuan China Branch, it still sounds like an international company, I don't know more details, I even have only seen the company's executives in the game."

Tang Yi also sighed, will there be an international server in this game? But at least he had never seen a foreigner appear in Dawning City.

Ning Qing didn't know much information, and like most people, Ning Qing came to the world of the game for a very tempting treatment.

The two chatted all the way and walked around the training center.

Tang Yi's takeaway had also arrived, so he explained the reason for this place to Ning Qing.

Ning Qing said very understandingly: "No problem, you can put the game characters in my office and hang up, when the school was built, the meaningless office was actually added for players to hang up and rest when they are fine." And I also asked the silver-level high-level players to set up several layers of defensive arrays there, and ordinary people can't enter without my consent. ”
