Chapter Seventy-Three: I'm an NPC

The night is sneaky, and during the journey, Chen Xingyu encountered a few lonely ghosts, but their strength is not worth mentioning at all, they only have the simplest hallucinogenic abilities, and they can't even afford to take the real thing, even if the other party is an ordinary person, as long as they are upright, they will not be confused by them. It's no wonder that Ning Caichen was able to come all the way safely, not only because of the protagonist's aura, but also because the really powerful ghosts are gathered in large copies like Lanruo Temple.

After becoming an acquired martial artist, Chen Xingyu will not feel tired even if he does not sleep for more than ten days, which is completely no different from those legendary Bigu real people, and the same is true for those two-star players, which also allows advanced players to adapt to the long-term gameplay of two-star games, otherwise even if the proportion of game time is large, it is impossible for them to insist on not eating or drinking for several days in reality.

A trace of ghost wind blew, walking in the forest, Chen Xingyu's body shape remained unchanged, and with a flick of his fingers, a thunderbolt had already shot out into the distance, although this thunder was small, but it also made the little ghost who dared to peep at him in the distance like a snowman under the blazing sun instantly melted into a pool of snow water, and then quickly evaporated. Dealing with weak ghosts, thunder and lightning are completely a big killer, after a period of familiarity, Chen Xingyu has become accustomed to sneaky tricks, as long as the other party is not a big demon, he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and a thunderbolt directly turns them into ashes.

Running all the way, Chen Xingyu didn't know how much time he had walked and how many nights, but at this time, a trace of hazy sunshine gradually appeared in the sky, and it was dawn. Chen Xingyu ran one by one, rushing out of the dense branches and leaves, but he ran back from the wilderness to the narrow official road opened up by his predecessors, and when he looked at it, he happened to see a few people walking towards him from the path, and the direction they went was Guobei County.

This guy with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes can't be Ning Caichen, who has heard of the name for a long time but has never had the opportunity to see it, seeing the bitter gourd face scholar who was sandwiched between several big men, Chen Xingyu had some guesses in his heart.

At this time, the scholar who appeared in front of him in this place was definitely Ning Caichen, because in this chaotic world, except for Ning Caichen, a scholar who was so naïve that he made a fool, no other scholar would run to such a remote ghost place in a panic.

The system is quite powerful, and it only took a few days for him to meet Ning Caichen halfway, but there are still a few big men around Ning Caichen who don't know him, and his skills are obviously good, and the two are on the same team as each other, faintly guarded, and it seems that they are undoubtedly other trial players. Chen Xingyu, who is familiar with the plot, of course will not regard the extra few people as NPCs, but these players actually walked with Ning Caichen, the protagonist, early on, it seems that the other players are not idiots, although they don't know the detailed plot, but they also vaguely understand that Ning Caichen, who walked alone to Guobei County, may be an important plot figure.

So everyone was ready to wait for the rabbit, and unconsciously there were as many as six players gathered around Ning Caichen.

After thinking about it, Chen Xingyu tidied up his clothes, calmed down again, and then walked in the direction of Ning Caichen, these players are all people in the thirty-second century, and their behavior habits and tone are far from those of the ancients, even if they don't know the plot, Chen Xingyu can see their identities from some behaviors. But as a deep-funded game house in the 21st century, Chen Xingyu's temperament is quite different from these people, but it is somewhat similar to Ning Caichen, and after watching too many costume movies, it is easy to ask Chen Xingyu to pretend to be an ancient. So Chen Xingyu had an idea and came up with a clever plan, as long as he behaved a little more pedantic, pretending to be an NPC should be feasible, at least it would be no problem to fool the stupid Ning Caichen, and if even Ning Caichen, an NPC, was convinced of his identity, these players who didn't know much about the ancient background would not be able to see his identity as a player.

Thinking of this, the smile on Chen Xingyu's face was even more tolerant, and he walked towards Ning Caichen and the others without hurrying, and then gave a big salute to Ning Caichen from afar, and said sourly, "This brother Tai, Xiaosheng is polite, in Xia Yuxing Chen, he went to Guobei County to join his relatives, how did he expect to be a horse thief on the way, sad, sad, I don't know if I can travel with my brother Tai for a few days." ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xingyu himself couldn't help but feel a chill, but it was extremely effective for Ning Caichen, a scholar, in this era, most scholars looked down on ordinary people, and some pretentious scholars even liked to drag a few sentences of ancient literature to show off their higher status than ordinary people, although Ning Caichen is not the kind of person who loves face, but he is still a little close to Chen Xingyu, a scholar. And compared to these few big men who came without telling him and have been staring at him, Chen Xingyu is undoubtedly much more polite and polite, at first glance when he saw Chen Xingyu's kind, Ning Caichen immediately greeted him like a rescuer, and greeted Chen Xingyu for a while, but looking at the cowardice in his eyes, he was very uneasy about the few people next to him, as if he was afraid that a few big men would be unhappy and let him suffer a miserable disaster.

Chen Xingyu had to complain about this, since players look down on NPCs, why bother staring at him and not paying, and thinking that NPCs provide them with clues to the game, how can there be such a simple thing. If you want to pretend to be a little bit like this, in order to cultivate the law, he was not a hot fight with the national husband, comparable to a pair of good friends with a lot of joy.

The strategy has to have the appearance of a strategy, thinking that there are few players he has met so far who seem to be able to use their brains, and there are few female players, Chen Xingyu maliciously guessed that this world has evolved into a world where muscular men rule everything? Or is his current level not enough to match those true geniuses?

Chen Xingyu really guessed correctly in the latter sentence, the trial task is not included in the system scoring system, so although his current score is high, it has not reached the point of being extremely rebellious, and when he sweeps all the games in the hall on the second floor, he will eventually meet other demon players, so that he will not easily brush up on the score.

"Brother Ning, does Li Bai know?" , Chen Xingyu's grammar is still a little different from that of a real scholar, but the restless Ning Caichen didn't notice this, because of the threat in the eyes of the big men, at this moment he just wanted to have a few more Chen Xingyu to accompany him.

Along the way, Chen Xingyu and Ning Caichen talked nonsense about a few sentences of Li Bai's poems that they had memorized in elementary school, which immediately made Ning Caichen admire, sighing at Chen Xingyu's knowledge and Li Baizhi's nobility, and even forgetting the few people around him. However, Chen Xingyu pretended to be disdainful of several players, as if he didn't see the skills of several players at all, and was only willing to talk to Ning Caichen alone, showing the scholar's temperament of looking down on reckless men to the fullest. However, Chen Xingyu inadvertently mentioned Lanruo Temple in the chat, and said the four big words of the thousand-year-old demon, which directly robbed Ning Caichen's role, and also made the eyes of the players who had been eavesdropping on their conversation trying to understand the background of the times brighten, there was a play! At this moment, Chen Xingyu just had to say to the players, 'I am an NPC, I am the protagonist, come and follow me to make a fortune'.

However, Chen Xingyu's few words are enough, because he can't tell Chen Xingyu's role in the game, plus Chen Xingyu seems to have some skills, and his personality is also the kind that would rather be unyielding, and for a while, players didn't dare to do anything to him. At this time, the more prominent and arrogant Chen Xingyu's performance became, the more they felt that Chen Xingyu was an indispensable protagonist in the plot, and they did not dare to underestimate his importance in the game. Based on the player's past experience, these NPCs have their role in the game, and some of them can provide them with the key to victory, and the more bizarre the character, the more likely it is to be a hidden master or key person.

At least on this point, Chen Xingyu and the players have the same idea, let's just say that the two people in this game, whether it is Ning Caichen's naïve stupidity, or the bearded Yan Chixia's free and sloppy, are all maverick characters, of course, Ning Caichen is the protagonist's halo of the oil bottle, and the actual role is completely gone. And what Chen Xingyu has to do now is to play a somewhat pedantic but somewhat capable unruly scholar, so that players will pay attention to his role.

Along the way, Chen Xingyu and Ning Caichen talked and laughed, which made Ning Caichen recover a little bit of his scholarly nature, and the players did not dare to change the plot too much, plus Chen Xingyu deliberately guided and let Ning Caichen take the lead, so even if a few people joined, Ning Caichen still found that the account book was wet when collecting debts as in the original plot, and finally had to ask where to stay, and was pointed to Lanruo Temple. And Chen Xingyu mentioned the monsters in Lanruo Temple and revealed his intention to subdue the demons, which immediately convinced the six players of their plot judgment, this is the main line!

Several players hit it off with Chen Xingyu, and couldn't wait to take the two of them to Lanruo Temple, and although Ning Caichen was a little afraid of the big demon in Chen Xingyu's mouth, he was threatened by the eyes of a group of players, and Chen Xingyu's persuasion of 'righteousness in his heart' compromised, so that the plot was not much different from the original work that Chen Xingyu knew. However, because of the appearance of Chen Xingyu and Ning Caichen's extremely weak character, in the eyes of players, Ning Caichen's value has been greatly reduced, and his attitude towards this original protagonist has become worse and worse.

Along the way, Chen Xingyu revealed some information about his grandmother to the players, which convinced the players of Chen Xingyu's identity as the protagonist, and faintly protected him in order to protect this important person from harm. And Ning Caichen, who was frightened on the side, was almost completely ignored by them, and only let Ning Caichen stumble behind everyone so as not to be left behind.

At this time, it was a righteous night, but because there were strong players, none of the wild wolves that made Ning Caichen suffer on the way to the original book were encountered, and several people came to Lanruo Temple very smoothly. When a few people walked to the temple, Chen Xingyu was surprised to find that there were already many players here, and there were more than 30 people in the field. And the two people who Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman were supposed to appear have not been seen yet, I don't know what happened? However, Chen Xingyu thought about it and understood, because the appearance of the player Ning Caichen's footsteps seemed to be faster than the original book, and he didn't encounter the classic scene of Xiahou swordsman killing people on the way, and now the bearded man and the swordsman are estimated to be one step later than him.

Suddenly, Chen Xingyu, who was looking down and contemplating, felt a chill, he looked up suddenly, only to find that Ye Qingya, who was released by him, was mixed in the crowd, forming a small group with the only two pairs of female players and standing in a remote corner, a little low-key and cautious. And she seems to be the only player among the players who did not act with her partner, which made Chen Xingyu a little embarrassed.

Seeing Chen Xingyu's appearance, a trace of anger and curiosity flashed in Ye Qingya's eyes, although she didn't make a sound, but her eyes kept staring at Chen Xingyu's body to make him Alexander, and the eyes of other players also looked at the few uninvited guests who had just arrived, and they kept scanning Ning Caichen's body, making him tremble a little, the hungry wolf didn't leave, and a group of evil tigers came, he really got a lot of bad luck these days, except for Brother Yu, he didn't seem to have met a good-faced person.

This guy is just an ordinary person, and the players quickly saw that the scholar was strong and competent, and mixed with several players, it was an important NPC! With their previous experience, the players quickly thought of going and began to look at Ning Caichen with hot eyes, which made the scholar who didn't know the reason turn a little pale with fright.

"Brother Ning didn't expect that there would be so many warriors in the ancient temple, and I don't know what the thousand-year-old tree demon would be happy to become, it likes to suck the blood of masculine men the most, but don't worry, in the next family to pass on a set of magic skills, it is not a problem to subdue demons and subdue demons, I will definitely ensure your safety." , Afraid that Ye Qingya would ruin his plan, and in order to let the players determine his NPC identity, Chen Xingyu ignored the players next to him and said to Ning Caichen suddenly, making it difficult for several other players to hide his identity.

At the same time, it also made several players suddenly wonder, could it be that this NPC has a good temper, and it is not bad, it turns out to be one of the main forces in the original plot, and it is the demon subduing master who protects Ning Caichen, and it is not in vain that they treat him well, dealing with the demons in the trial world, there is an indigenous professional here, which can save them a lot of trouble.

At the end, Chen Xingyu didn't forget to say to the players arrogantly, "I advise you martial artists to leave early, and when the old demon lays out the formation, there is a hundred miles of its chassis, and you can't go if you want to." Dealing with demons is the specialty of our cultivators, and your martial arts have the courage to kill people and a husband, but they are greatly inferior in this regard. Chen Xingyu's words were undoubtedly directly ignored by the player, obviously no one wanted to give up the task at hand, but they found that there was a more important NPC there, and the soft-footed shrimp was just a protector.

"Brother Yu, thank you very much." , Ning Caichen thanked him with a slight trembling tone, he has been frightened in the past few days.

Chen Xingyu's words and the information revealed were not words that an ordinary NPC could say, because of Chen Xingyu's strong self-confidence, coupled with the clear expressions of the players around him and Ning Caichen, all the players present completely confirmed Chen Xingyu's identity, and he should be one of the main forces in the original game to deal with the big demon.

But Ye Qingya was a little stunned, knowing that Chen Xingyu was fine, of course she knew that Chen Xingyu was not an NPC at all, but what was the matter with the NPC calling him Brother Yu? This Chen Xingyu can really fool, and he doesn't know how true or false what he said, how did he know the information of the old demon? You must know that all the players present have been exploring for a long time, and they only know the name of Lanruo Temple from other NPCs.
