Chapter 8: The Despair of Turning from a Human to an NPC

"Eh, stingy, just gave me a skill book. The adventurer muttered to himself, looked up and saw Yun Fei standing on the edge of the square in a daze, and couldn't help but walk over and ask, "Hello, do you have any tasks here, hurry up, I'm in a hurry, and I have to go to the level." ”

Yun Fei was fighting between heaven and man, and he didn't hear what the other party said clearly, so he subconsciously shook his head.

"It's boring, stupid. The adventurer couldn't help but pout, looked around, and walked towards the village gate.

At this time, Yun Fei just made a decision: he wanted to figure out some things, or rather, to verify the guess in his heart, so that he could make a plan again.

Looking up, seeing that the first adventurer was leaving, it seemed that he was going to walk out of the village, Yunfei hurriedly chased after him and asked, "That, friend, did you have anything to do with me just now?"

The adventurer stopped, looked back and looked up and down at Yun Fei strangely. At this time, four white Chinese characters suddenly appeared on the adventurer's head: Tiger Idiot Reincarnation.

The tiger idiot said strangely: "Why did you suddenly move again? Didn't you turn on the computer just now?"

"What's wrong?" Yun Fei said, looking himself up and down. "Is there anything strange?"

The tiger idiot reincarnated: "Oh, nothing. By the way, do you have any assignments for me?"

Yun Fei said: "I don't have a task for you, I just want to ask you a few questions." ”

The tiger idiot waved his hand and said, "I said you, there is no task, what are you stopping me from doing? ”

"Wait," Yun Fei hurriedly called out to him, "You can think of it as a temporary mission. ”

The tiger idiot paused again, and said impatiently: "Is there any reward?"

"Reward? hmm......" Yun Fei was thinking about what to reward when three items suddenly appeared in his mind: a pistol, a short knife, and an earthy yellow bead. The pistols and daggers glowed white, while the beads remained dull.

Could it be that you are choosing a reward item? Thinking so, Yun Fei set his eyes on the short knife. At this moment, the light of the short knife brightened, and then disappeared from his mind. Yun Fei hurriedly touched his waist, and the holster with the short knife was already empty.

The reincarnation of the tiger idiot probably saw the item rewards in the task panel, and couldn't help but nod with satisfaction: "Yellow-level short knife, it looks okay." If you have any questions, just ask. ”

Yun Fei shook his head regretfully, then collected his emotions again and asked, "Let me ask you, where are you from?

"Hahaha......" Tiger Idiot Reincarnation suddenly laughed and said, "It's good that you didn't ask me where I was going in the second sentence." However, you don't understand it. ”

Yun Fei frowned slightly, and said dissatisfied: "It seems that your answer did not satisfy me......

The tiger idiot reincarnated and hurriedly said: "Wait...... Well, I was just joking with you. I'm a real-world player, and I'm entering the world of Starlight through a game headset. "Starlight" is an AR virtual world game developed by Daystar Group, which claims to bring 99% simulation of immersive body feeling, entering this game, you can experience the game as if entering another world, and NPC also has a high degree of simulation intelligence. Did you understand what I said...... No, my answer should be correct, right?"

Yun Fei's heart sank, but on the surface, he nodded calmly, and continued to ask, "Second question." You players, how do you distinguish between NPCs and players?"

"It's easy. For example, we players have a white halo under their feet, but you NPCs don't have it under their feet. ”

Yun Fei looked at it when he heard this, and it was really like what he said.

The tiger idiot reincarnated and said: "In addition, no matter how artificial intelligence simulates, it is different from us. For example, he speaks in an archaic style, and he feels so stupid, uh, in short, that's what it's all about. As he spoke, he quietly glanced at Yun Fei's expression, and saw that the other party didn't mind anything, so he couldn't help but pout again.

Speaking with an ancient style, Yun Fei had some experience, but to say that Tie Cheng and the others were stupid, he didn't feel it. So much so that for nearly a month, he thought he had traveled to another world. Another point is that when you talk to the player, the player's name will automatically appear on his head, while when you talk to Tie Cheng and the others, no name will appear. This is another difference between a player and an NPC.

Yun Fei nodded slightly, and then asked, "The third question, how many game helmets are sold in Starlight?"

Tiger Idiot Reincarnation hesitated for a moment and said, "This, I only know the general situation within the country. The first batch of pre-sales of Daystar Group in Shangqiu is 10 million units, and then it will provide about 5 million units per month, and as for the other six empires, it is estimated that the number is about the same as ours. And game warehouses and the like, which are limited supply. No matter how detailed it is, I don't know. ”

"Fourth question, do you know anything about the Scarlet Canyon incident?"

"Absolutely. According to Shangqiu News, the Scarlet Canyon incident was committed by a terrorist organization with the intention of threatening the Imperial Army and releasing captured members of the terrorist organization. On the day of the incident, the Imperial Military Department directly dispatched the First Division of the First Army of the Shangqiu Fox and killed the bandits on the spot. After that, the tiger idiot shook his head and sighed after being reincarnated, "It's just that I heard the report that there is a group of orphans among the hostages, which is also pitiful." ”

Yun Fei asked eagerly, "What's wrong with those orphans?"

The tiger idiot glanced at Yun Fei suspiciously, and continued: "I heard reports that there were dozens of orphans in the accident, and only nine survived. After three months of careful healing in the Shining City, he has been cured. Those nine children were inspired to join the special forces and fight against the reactionary forces. The Imperial War Department has also made a decision to train them as junior reservists. ”

"That's good, that's good. Hearing the information of Xian'er and the others, Yun Fei was greatly relieved.

The tiger idiot reincarnated and suddenly said: "You, it feels a little strange!"

Yun Fei was taken aback, then pretended to be calm again, and said in a flat tone: "Well, this is a random inspection task issued by the system, thank you for your cooperation." Happy gaming. ”

After Yun Fei finished speaking, he nodded to the reincarnation of the tiger idiot, and then strolled to the side. The tiger idiot nodded in confusion, and didn't really pursue it, but excitedly took out the short knife from the storage bag on his waist and tried to swing it.

Zhao Yangzheng came out of the house, and immediately said loudly: "Virtuous nephew, I didn't expect you to get up so early." He also helped me receive adventurers from another world. ”

Yun Fei replied: "Uncle Zhao is early. I'll go to Uncle Pang's to get breakfast first, and the master should also get up. You're busy. ”

Zhao Yang nodded, looked at the weapon wielded in the adventurer's hand, glanced at Yun Fei's back again, and then walked towards the adventurer.

......

Every few minutes, new adventurers arrive in the square. Yun Fei asked a number of players on the side, and finally understood the situation he was in now.

As Jia Jia said, he was resurrected, but at a heavy cost. He lost his identity as a human being, he lost his identity as an adventurer. He became an "NPC", a "smart NPC" that would never go offline.

He couldn't accept this fact a little.

After all, no matter how exciting and real this game world is, it is an illusory world, a fictional world. Maybe in five or ten years, the popularity will be gone, and the final outcome of this game world will be only to die.

And he, Yunfei, is very likely to die with this world and cease to exist. When he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little pessimistic and desperate.

"Thief God, you deliberately played with me!haha...... Hahahaha......" Yun Fei couldn't help but curse at the sky, and then couldn't help laughing, with a taste of madness, and the corners of his eyes were clearly filled with painful teardrops.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help with?" a soft female voice sounded in Yun Fei's ears.

The one who spoke was a beautiful woman, dressed in coarse cloth clothes, with the charm of a small jasper.

Yun Fei hurriedly turned his face away, stretched out his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes indiscriminately, before turning his head again, and said as plainly as possible: "I have nothing to do." ”

The woman said with concern: "But, I see that you seem to be crying just now...... I see that you seem to be in pain, is there something unspeakable? You name it, and maybe I can help you. ”

Perhaps, it's time to speak out and vent the bitterness in your heart.

Thinking like this, Yun Fei couldn't help but look at the woman officially. The woman's name has been revealed: Sister at Home.

The younger sister at home also stared at Yunfei as if encouraging.

Yun Fei nodded, worded in his heart, and then spoke: "Beauty, you may not believe it when you say it, but in fact, I am also ...... from the present."

Suddenly, the heavens and the earth were dark, and a pair of demonic eyes appeared in mid-air: crimson as blood, cold and ruthless, as if as long as Yun Fei dared to say the next word, he would immediately harvest his life.

"What's wrong with you?" The younger sister at home didn't know why, but when she saw Yun Fei talking, she suddenly paused and broke out in a cold sweat.

Yunfei turned his head to his sister at home, and said suspiciously, "You didn't see it, there are two eyes in the sky...... Poof......"

The huge and incomparable pressure suddenly added to his body, and Yun Fei couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood, his body spasmodizing and twisting in midair. At this moment, the earthy yellow beads in his underwear pocket flickered slightly, and then a crack crept up.

The owner of the eyes seemed to sense something and let Yunfei go.

Yun Fei fell to the ground weakly, gasping violently.

"What's wrong with you? Hey, don't scare me. The sister at home squatted down in panic and looked up at the sky again and again.

In the field of vision, the crimson eyes have disappeared, and the sky is bright again. There was a moment when Yun Fei felt that he would be squashed in the next second. At that moment, he was scared. It's just that for some reason, my eyes let him go.

Yun Fei struggled to support his hands, reluctantly smiled at his sister at home, and said, "I'm fine." ”

"Are you really okay? I see you just now, how horrible you looked. There must be some important task on you. Leave it to me, I'll be able to help you with your mission. I can't do it, I can also ask my best girlfriends to help out. The sister at home said, looking down at her, as if she was talking to someone.

The smile on Yun Fei's face suddenly froze, and then he tried to recover his calm expression, and said lightly: "I really don't have any tasks on me, the girl is too careful." ”

With that, Yun Fei struggled to stand up and staggered towards Tie Cheng's house.

"Eh, don't go. The sister at home hurriedly hung up the chat, wanting to hold Yunfei, but Yunfei ignored it.

The sister at home couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger and said, "Damn, there is obviously a major task, but it can't be triggered." You wait, I'll look up the strategy on the Internet, and the old lady must give you the strategy. ”

Yun Fei paused, then took another step, staggered forward, and laughed inexplicably sadly...... Hahahaha......"
