Chapter 003: I Can Hear the Voices of the Players

Does he want to engage in the path of evil

I want to associate with you all. Lin Bai looked at Laomi, his gaze intense and his tone earnest, "If possible, I would like to recognize you as my elder brother. You seem to be outsiders; in Jia Mu City, if there are any inconvenient matters for you, you can come to me for assistance. Of course, if you have any benefits, please do not forget me. When you achieve great success, could you lend me a hand?"

Listening to the unabashed conversation between the two players, Lin Bai maintained a calm expression, yet his tone grew increasingly awkward: "... you might think I am a fraud or that I am joking with you. After all, I don't look much like a fortune teller.

A traveler who exists between players and NPCs

Players are superstitious about past experiences and do not believe that NPCs would know their conversations

What does this guy want to do? "Lao Mi" said

Look at the two players in front, and then observe the onlookers who are still watching the excitement.

However, the information he can currently gather is too limited, making it completely impossible to deduce backwards

The conversation between the two players continues, disregarding Lin Bai's presence beside them

Players level up by gaining experience through grinding

If he is an NPC

A young man with a bruised face and swollen nose is chained up, facing the accusations and curses of the crowd, as well as the thrown mud and rotten vegetable leaves. He remains calm and composed, occasionally revealing a faint smile, not treating his capture as a matter of concern

The player has likely done almost everything in the game world

Temporarily playing the role of this special NPC is the only opportunity to uncover the truth

Through the gaps in the crowd

Lin Bai took a deep breath and quietly squeezed in beside the two people

When the world is no longer the world as perceived by oneself, Lin Bai re-examines the task with a distinctly different mindset

This is the fourth disaster

No player would actively refuse an NPC that comes with its own storyline, even if he is a liar. Who knows if he has any follow-up quests?

The scent of cosmetics on a woman, the odor of sweat on a man, the bad breath that emanates from not brushing one's teeth

After all

With these premises, players can act without restraint in the game, freely expressing their nature, even more wildly than the cultivators depicted in the xianxia stories told by Lin Bai to Luo Congwen

The first batch of internal testers entered their world three days later than he did when he crossed over to this world

Lin Bai felt a mix of emotions, as the world he had traversed was now entered by players; there was nothing more absurd and laughable than this

The onlookers ignored the name above his head, their attention still focused on his lewd behavior, pointing and commenting, laughing and cursing.

No wonder the names of cities in this world always feel so awkward, such as Wood A City, Wood B City, Fire C City...

He has crossed over into a game world

There are no substantial actions; he will be out in two days. Of course, there is another possibility: he might actually want to go to prison

From the moment he became part of the system, humility would forever be unrelated to Lin Bai

Lin Bai swallowed and instinctively looked around.

... ...

... ...

Perhaps

An NPC that does not aspire to be a BOSS is not a good NPC

Lin Bai looked at the captured young man, and upon a glance, he was momentarily stunned.

Recalling the actions of the task NPC in the game, and combining the speculations of the two players regarding the game, Lin Bai confidently approached the two players

The air is flowing, a variety of delicacies, the mountains and trees are vividly alive, and when the wild grass is pulled out, sap flows out.

player

Lin Bai blinked and looked at the person again, the name still remained.

If a game can be produced to such an extent, how formidable must the creators of the game be

Clearly not

"Who knows, I just felt something was off about him." said [Jiangmi], "Is he a quest NPC?"

Thinking about how players continuously treat him like a BOSS, Lin Bai felt a wave of unease creeping over him

What is he worth

Technology knows no bounds, and you can never imagine what bizarre creations that group of scientists can come up with. That foolish Yumao, there have been people who have already tested the limits of NPCs, yet he still seeks to court disaster. During the period of detention by the authorities, unless he deletes his account, he cannot go offline, which is quite unbearable for him

What on earth is this

It is difficult to ensure that there won't be high-level players with malicious intent returning to trouble these novice village NPCs, therefore, he must grow alongside the players and also ensure that he can run faster than the players

A game that is in closed beta without data deletion, featuring high freedom and developed based on the real world, without any game guides or strategies, relying entirely on oneself to discover the mysteries of the game

If he is a player

The chat in the private channel gave them enough confidence

Two players stopped talking, looking strangely at the NPC approaching them

What could provide a better understanding of players' dynamics than being right beside them

Brother. "Lao Mi" reached out and patted Lin Bai's shoulder, feeling that they had met too late.

Why is there no properties panel, and not even an option to exit?

[Lao Mi]: Starting off by recruiting NPCs as my subordinates, I am destined to prosper

This is the player

But is this really the world of games

Moreover, those players whose names are displayed above their heads also regard him as an NPC

... ...

If this is a game

But I simply cannot help it; your destinies are so extraordinary, akin to dragons and phoenixes among men. I fear that if I miss this opportunity, I will never find it again. It feels as though I were born several decades too early, and I must befriend the yet-to-be-successful city lord. What you give me now is precisely this feeling; it is a turning point in my life, and I must seize this opportunity

... ...

The constable shouted to maintain order

To take a step back

... ...

When a living world suddenly transformed into a game world, Lin Bai instinctively harbored doubts about everything around him

Your entire family is G

What difference does it make to have a system? He is just one person, and the number of players is unknown

Jumping over walls, killing others' chickens, and openly teasing women in broad daylight

three days

The streets were more lively than during the New Year, as people of all colors and appearances rushed out of their homes to see what the flower thief looked like

Of course. "Lao Mi" smiled so much that his eyes squinted, nodding affirmatively, "From today onwards, you are my brother."

Are there any game companies on Earth that are this impressive

All the strange occurrences suddenly had a reasonable explanation; it was only natural for the players to engage in such actions, even more so than the system's owner.

He clearly does not belong to this world, he is an outsider, and he can see the names of the players

Even without it, during the game's beta testing phase, having a servant or adopting a pet, isn't that impressive

In this unfamiliar world, he, like the players, is also in the exploratory stage

These individuals are transparent to Lin Bai, holding no secrets whatsoever

Utilizing the system at one's disposal to become a BOSS is far superior to being an ordinary NPC who is oblivious to the truth

Truly a player

A glimmer of surprise flashed in Lin Bai's eyes, and his hands unconsciously rubbed together: "It is somewhat difficult to speak of. I have inherited the art of fortune-telling, and I have been observing you for quite some time. I have discovered that the two of you possess somewhat special destinies. How should I put it? It is the kind of fate that is destined to soar to great heights and achieve remarkable success, a dragon and phoenix destiny. To be honest, I have never seen such a countenance in the people around me before..."

In the game, players are constrained by the game rules, but are completely unbound by legal and moral constraints

The street is bustling with noise

Is it true? Lin Bai looked at the "Lao Mi" in front of him with surprise, instinctively clenching his fist

If the game is based on the real world, then the prison has another title, known as the super talent market, where it is highly likely that many powerful NPCs are hidden, offering knowledge that cannot be learned outside. Do not underestimate the abilities of any internal tester

Players possess extraordinary thoughts and should not be regarded as ordinary individuals

The system bundle on him also has an unknown origin

Lin Bai does not believe that there is no connection between the two.

An increasing amount of game content is emerging from the mouths of two players

What do you plan to do

Lin Bai's words are interspersed with some local information, used to disguise his identity and create an illusion for the two players

"You must be attracted by your beauty!" said the person named [Lao Mi], casting a glance at Lin Bai with a smile, and added without any reservations, "You don't think he can hear our private channel's conversation, do you?"

"It has arrived," said the japonica rice.

The mesmerizing game, where every NPC is vividly alive, and each individual possesses their own thoughts, is hard to imagine. The underlying computations must be incredibly powerful to support such a realistic world

Lin Bai silently cursed under his breath, discreetly averting his gaze, yet a storm of emotions surged within him

"Lao Mi, there's a silly NPC behind us who keeps staring at us"

Above his head, a shining name "Jade Cat" was prominently suspended

As expected

To be, one must be an invincible BOSS forever

Of course, "Lao Mi" readily agreed.

Lin Bai diligently gathered all useful information

Perhaps he has his eyes on you, that guy didn't even glance at me, I think he seems like a G, the game is based on the real world, and it features all kinds of people...

Currently, his survival is a problem, even more difficult than that of the initial players. Considering the various factors involved, it is clearly premature.

If the other party is a normal person, it would be fortunate not to get beaten up by this set of remarks, but is the player a normal person

Lin Bai is no stranger to gamers; during his four years in university, he has navigated through the ocean of games

Impossible

Isn't the task of the game supposed to be triggered by us actively? "Lao Mi" said, "Do the NPCs in this world not like to communicate with strangers?"

Moreover, he is highly likely to be the first player in the Dongzhou District to receive an NPC minion, which will undoubtedly make many people envious when he shares it on the forum

Infinite resurrection, with experience points one can grow rapidly, and everything done in the game world will have no impact on reality

Lin Bai: Players are much easier to deceive than the natives, my task is settled.

The most critical point

Of course. "Lao Mi"'s expression turned serious as he gave "Jing Mi" a knowing glance and smiled.

I have been exposed to various types of games, including online games, browser games, and single-player games

Everyone has their own thoughts, family, profession, joys and sorrows, when injured they bleed, when hungry they need to eat, when tired they need to sleep

"Big Brother." Lin Bai looked excitedly at the player in front of him, his voice slightly trembling, his integrity shattered into pieces.

What kind of server strength is required to run such a game

Infinite energy erupted from Lin Bai's body, and he redefined the direction of his life

Players will level up, and now they will be captured by the constables and pelted with eggs by the surrounding crowd

You are the G

What a sight to behold

One can discern the difference between players and ordinary people, and hearing the private conversations of players is enough for him to live as a person fully awakened to reality

Infinite growth, if you dare to reveal your health bar, he will dare to draw his knife. Behavior is uncontrollable and unpredictable. Spending money to become stronger, in order to satisfy their destructive and creative urges, for the sake of experience points, they can do anything...

Looking at the chattering NPC in front of them, "Lao Mi" and "Jing Mi" exchanged glances. "Is this guy a fraud? Or has he really figured something out?"

Why

In the crowded throng, there are also a man and a woman, both of whom have names above their heads, namely "Lao Mi" and "Jing Mi"

Perhaps, this game is different from the past; it requires one to explore on their own and cannot rely on previous experiences to deduce outcomes

If it is a game world, then these names are perfectly normal

However, when the level is higher in the future, facing these NPCs again, it is likely that one can sweep through a large area.

Headache

Lin Bai can naturally upgrade through system rewards, and that damned Nine-Day Scripture, when the time comes, it cannot be helped but to practice it.

When encountering players, the advantages of the traverser vanish in an instant

"May I have a few words with you two?" Lin Bai asked hesitantly, taking a deep breath.

low-key

"Isn't a liar more interesting? Perhaps it's a special NPC, let's see what he has to say."

... ...

Whether it is a conspiracy or fate, it is impossible to define
