Just when Fang Chang and Miss Dolly were talking to each other, the ghost sitting on the other side of the tavern lobby had already covered his mouth and nose, making an exaggerated expression and whispering to Feng Qing, who was sitting opposite.

"Not good...... I smell the sour smell of dead agent! ”

Feng Qing, who was calmly drinking coffee, tilted his head and looked at the ghost with an exaggerated expression and wondered.

"There is no smell of dead medicine."

"It's that kind of dead drug, it's that kind of ...... Hey, forget it," the ghost blushed and gestured for a long time, embarrassed to say it, and finally sighed and put his hands on his cheeks, "Wouldn't it be strange to fall in love with NPCs?" Especially if there is a family in reality, is this considered cheating? ”

"emmmm......" Feng Qing thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know about that kind of thing. ”

She's not interested in love either in reality or in the game, but this kind of thing should be considered a personal matter, right?

However, the ghost was still entangled, and even gnawed his fingers unconsciously.

“…… Damn, when I think of the cute Miss Dolly sitting opposite an uncle who actually has five or six children in reality, I can't move, ah, damn Fang Chang, hurry up and explode. ”

It turned out to be because of Dolly......

Feng Qing made a helpless expression, put down the coffee cup between his hands and said.

"I think if you care so much about what other people are like in reality, you might as well ask for yourself...... It's rude to casually choreograph a stranger's private life behind your back. ”

"Uh......h I was wrong. ”

As if realizing that his actions had no sense of boundaries, the ghost raised his hands in surrender.

Looking at the aggrieved girlfriend, Feng Qingwan said with a smile.

"I don't blame you, it's more comforting. There are many more cute NPCs, so why don't you discover them yourself...... And I think that the young couple actually don't like to live in the spotlight so much, it is entirely because of the coaxing of friends of the Burning Corps on the forum that they have attracted so much attention. ”

"That's right," the outstretched ghost sighed in resignation, his expression as if he had fallen out of love, but he quickly regained his spirits, "Anyway, Citrus is already in junior high school." ”

It was windswept from the darkness of the slums outside the old Boulder City. A girl rescued from an orphanage run by a gang.

That incident was also the trigger for the alliance to eliminate the gangs outside Boulder, after which the children who were kept like goods moved into a normal welfare home.

The Union has a well-established social support mechanism to take care of these orphans, including raising them until they are 18 years old, including covering the expenses during the compulsory education period, etc., without them having to pay for them to raise them out of their own pockets.

Occasionally, though, they would visit her, take her to make marshmallows, and buy her beautiful new dresses...... Treat her like to your own daughter.

When it comes to citrus, Feng Qing's face can't help but show a nostalgic smile.

"The last time I saw her, she was preparing for higher education, and she was about to take the exam in the middle of the year."

The ghost holding his chin also sighed.

"Is she going to junior high school...... Time flies. ”

The player's body hasn't changed much.

Of course, perhaps because they die so often, everything is refreshed once they are resurrected.

I heard that there are also hardcore players who have never died once out of the novice village, and their bodies will still undergo some changes as they get older.

Looking at the sentimental girlfriend, Feng Qing thought for a while and said.

"Although that's the case, it's only been two or three years since we met her."

The ghost scratched his head.

"Uh, it seems to be."

I always feel that these two or three years are longer than twenty or thirty years.

Maybe that's what it feels like to be fulfilled.

Putting the coffee cup and used cutlery back on the plate, Feng Qing looked at the ghost sitting across from him and said.

"I'm rested and continuing to do the task?"

The ghost stood up with a stumbling eye.

"Oh yes! Quest Task ...... I almost forgot about the mission, and I had to get the little mouse out of the Enlightenment. ”

Feng Qing reminded when opening the VM interface.

"And the packages that went to the town hall and the nest of mutant rats that cleared the sewers."

"Huh?! Do I have a sewer assignment? ”

Looking at the frightened ghost, Feng Qing tilted his head.

"I took it...... But the reward is quite high, there are 1000 silver coins, and the task process is also very short, so bear with me. ”

……

Just when the ghost who wanted to cry without tears was pushed by Fengqing on the shoulders and left the tavern, on another street not far from the talent market, a pair of enemies were chattering endlessly.

One of them was the Night Ten of the Burning Corps, and the other was Jiang Xuezhou, a C-level researcher of the Academy.

The two were originally active in the quarantine area in the southern part of the province of Wilante, but because the focus of the quarantine area has now shifted from prevention and control to the research and development of vaccines and antidotes, the two people with the wrong majors really can't help much.

In addition, a big incident happened some time ago, the academy lost a scientific research ship and a whole beacon team lost contact in Avent City, so Jiang Xuezhou was sent to Avent City.

As for Night Ten, half of them were forcibly dragged over, and half of them were worried about what danger this guy would encounter when he acted alone.

As for the missing Beacon Squad, the Academy's higher-ups no longer have any hope that they are still alive, but the lost research ship must be recovered.

There are so many things floating in outer space that might be overwhelming.

If you get there first by someone who shouldn't be touching something, the consequences will be dire.

Knowing the importance of this mission, Jiang Xuezhou was very serious about searching for the whereabouts of the missing scientific research ship as soon as he arrived in Avant City, but the two of them had been looking for almost two weeks, but there were no clues at all.

The longer the time drags on, the less likely it is that the missing members will survive, and the less likely it is that the research ship will be recovered.

Jiang Xuezhou was also a little anxious, and couldn't help but sprinkle his resentment on Ye Shi, who was open-faced.

"Don't you have that sixth sense? Can't you use your sixth sense to find that guy? ”

Ye Shi, who was shot inexplicably, rolled his eyes and unceremoniously slammed back.

"That's not how the sixth sense is used, do you know how to do magic when I do!"

It's possible that the guy was looking at him from a distance.

Searching for enemies in the void from a distance that I don't know how far, this is already open, okay!

Jiang Xuezhou lowered the corners of his mouth.

"Hey, it's useless."

As soon as he heard this, Ye Shi was suddenly unhappy.

"Why am I useless, you were still a little D-level when Ye Kerry was in the audience! By the way, aren't you from the academy? Isn't there the kind of technology that can lock into what we're looking for in a crowd? ”

Jiang Xuezhou blushed and glared at him.

"What Kerry, I don't understand...... What are you talking about, why don't you organize the language before you express it. ”

"Kerry, that's what MVP means...... Forget it, the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, and now my brother is gone, alas. ”

Looking at Jiang Xuezhou, who looked confused, Ye Shiwangtian, who was holding the back of his head with his arms, sighed, paused and continued.

"But I said...... Your academy is also one of the three major forces, since it has been determined that the Enlightenment Society has taken away your scientific research ship, why don't you just send that Alpha Task Force over? Even if you turn Avent City upside down and find that little mouse, the Enlightenment Society will definitely not obediently exchange hostages with you, right? ”

It's not that the alliance hasn't captured the captives of the Enlightenment Society, and even the Thorn Corps in Pioneer City can catch one or two every once in a while.

But it didn't work for eggs.

All they can do is get the astray shelter dwellers to undergo re-education, see the results of the League's work, and persuade those guys to turn back.

As for finding the headquarters of the Enlightenment through these captives or obtaining information.

The inhabitants of the Vault, who had been deceived by the Enlightenment, did not know about it themselves.

Not to mention the exchange of hostages, those guys who steal chickens and dogs don't have the concept of compatriots in their hearts.

Hearing that Ye Shi was hacking his own organization again, Jiang Xuezhou's eyes were a little complicated.

If she usually refutes, she will even raise her eyebrows and quarrel with him, but this time she is indeed a little confused.

"I don't know...... But I think the higher-ups must have their concerns, and finding the only clues is the only thing we can do. ”

Yashi glanced at the guy and then looked back at the street ahead.

"I believe it's no secret that the academy has 10,000 hearts and eyes in the wasteland...... I'm just worried, you're out of their range. ”

What about the C grade.

As long as one seed survives, it is considered a victory, and the rest is the nutrients in the soil.

The academy probably didn't care about more than just C-class researchers, he even felt that they didn't even care about A-level or even the only S-class.

They are real Leviathans.

Unlike the organization of the family members who deceive under the guise of ideals, they are truly united by faith, an organization that is born for knowledge and fully serves knowledge.

Everything but the only goal is sacrificial.

Including the CTO himself.

Even the conclusion of Dr.

A C-class researcher is too insignificant in the face of a narrative that is highly civilized.

Ye Shi just wanted to persuade her not to be so hardworking, it was not worth putting her own life into it, but she didn't expect the latter to suddenly be silent.

He looked to the side suspiciously, only to see the expression on Xue Zhou's face that was scared for some reason.

Just as he was about to ask, "What's wrong with you," a faint voice like a mosquito moaning came.

“…… Were you worried about me just now? ”

Lose sleep over something?

"Not really—"

"Yo, night ten, what about a date."

An untimely voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting what Ye Shi was about to say.

What's that?

Ye Shi quickly turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, only to see Big Eye and the construction site guy smirking at him.

"It's a good relationship."

"That's right, how pure people's feelings are, it's like you only enter the body, not the family."

", Nima!"

The big eyes that were smiling a second ago suddenly rolled their faces, but they unconsciously acted as Ye Shi's mouth, and said what the latter wanted to say.

Looking at the big-eyed brothers who raised their fists and chased after the construction site guys to torture, Ye Shi took back the poisonous tongue that came to his mouth.

Jiang Xuezhou, who was standing next to him, looked at the two people who ran away in confusion, and then tilted his head to look at Ye Shi.

"What are they talking about."

Ye Shi just wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to speak, and his old face suddenly turned red uncontrollably, and he said confusedly.

"The dog stuff is hacking me."

"Oh huh......"

Completely misunderstood, Jiang Xuezhou showed a wicked smile on his face, his left hand was covered to his lips, and his right hand gently poked his arm.

"It seems that your popularity in the alliance is not very good, why don't you go to the academy with me, and get a ticket for the ark."

Night Ten rolled his eyes.

"Don't."

Jiang Xuezhou raised his eyebrows and said with grinning teeth.

"Why! Am I bad for you? ”

"Not really...... Wait, why do you have to go with you if you're nice to me! I'm doing well in the league, okay! Ye Shi was shaking his head, and suddenly came back to his senses in the middle of speaking, and he was led into a strange circle of logic.

Jiang Xuezhou glared at him through gritted teeth, but in the end he just snorted and didn't say anything.

“…… I don't know what to do. ”

In the second half of the journey, the two exchanged words without a word.

Ye Shi didn't know what medicine this guy had taken again, and suddenly he sulked.

Anyway, why does this guy have to be so persistent in letting him join the academy?

Wouldn't it be nice to be like that now?

That's too loyal, isn't it?

At this time, the VM that Ye Shi was wearing on his arm suddenly shook, raised and clicked on the screen to look at it, only to see a line of text messages floating in the center of the screen.

[Edge paddling: There are new clues about the disciples of the Enlightenment Society, the guard booth on 17th Street received a report from the public, saying that there are suspicious people in the alley between number 203 and 202, not like locals, not like our people, if you are interested, it is better to go over and take a look. If it is a misunderstanding, it will also let the masses sleep peacefully. 】

Ye Shi's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied.

[Haha! Thanks bro! 】

Within seconds, a message popped up again.

[Edge paddling: You're welcome! If you catch a big fish, remember to share it with us! (Tooth baring)】

Night Ten: [Gan! Am I a solitary eater? Wait! I'll go back as soon as I go. 】

Glancing at Ye Shi, who was facing the screen, Jiang Xuezhou couldn't help but tilt his head over there to see what he was doing.

And just as she was doing this, Ye Shi suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"What are you doing?!" Jiang Xuezhou was stunned and stunned in place.

I didn't wait for her overnight, and clicked on the navigation function of the VM map to pull her away.

"Don't ask so much, just follow me!"

“？？？”

Jiang Xuezhou was dragged forward with a confused expression, and the two of them crossed two streets in a row and came to an inconspicuous alley.

It looks like an old town, many of the houses are empty, the occupants have either moved away or died in the war, and only a few old men and old ladies live.

Jiang Xuezhou blushed and withdrew his arm, glared at Ye Shi who finally stopped, and asked.

"What are you bringing me here for?"

With a smug smile on his face, Yashi set his eyes on the alley ahead.

"Didn't you say that I was rotten, and I would prove that I was not rotten."

Jiang Xuezhou: "......? ”

Looking at Jiang Xuezhou with a blank face, Ye Shi patiently told her the clues he had.

Plainly.

This needle-in-a-haystack work had to be left to the "beggars" of the Death Corps.

These guys are running around, especially the big eyes who like to communicate with local NPCs in depth, and it's not too easy to find any clues.

As soon as he arrived in Avent City, he greeted the Fringe Dude, who told him as soon as he had a clue.

Jiang Xuezhou looked at him stunned, stunned for a long time, and suddenly lowered his head and whispered "thank you".

Unexpectedly, she came out suddenly, and Ye Shi's first reaction was not to be happy, but to look at her vigilantly.

“…… Okay, thank you suddenly? ”

Jiang Xuezhou hesitated for a while, but finally confessed.

“…… I shouldn't feel like you're not contributing. ”

Night Eleven looked at her speechlessly.

"Good fellow, that's what you think of me."

Do you have to take a magnifying glass and look for bugs in the cracks in the wall to call out your strength?

Gan!

This guy is getting more and more like his nosy old mother.

Jiang Xuezhou turned his head with a red face and snorted lightly with his nose.

"Who made you always look like you don't care about yourself."

"I do think that your high-level leaders are quite speechless, and they don't really want to get involved in your, but they don't care about you......" Ye Shi looked at Jiang Xuezhou whose face was red from the root of his ears to the back of his neck, sighed, and scratched the back of his head indiscriminately, "You wait for me here for a while, I'll go in and have a look." ”

Looking at Ye Shi, who was walking straight into the alley, Jiang Xuezhou, who came back to his senses, hurriedly chased after him.

"Ah, I'm here to help!"

Night Ten rolled his eyes.

"Just don't make trouble!"

Jiang Xuezhou glared back viciously.

"I just want it! Phew, when did I mess around? And that's my mission! ”

"Yes, yes, your mission."

Ye Shi sighed, but his original indifferent mood was a little serious.

This year, NPCs have started to compete with players for tasks.

This game is too real, isn't it?
