Chapter 2 Is this a name?
"Why don't you answer? You can't be a mute?" Seeing that Zheng Chen had no reaction at all, the group couldn't help but mutter.
"Who knows," said one of them, "why do we try to kill him?"
A low light flashed in Zheng Chen's eyes, and he looked around. The group of people in front of him did not have much threat to him, even if they were holding weapons.
But he didn't understand what kind of people are there in these people. They feel that they are very ordinary, but why they say such words is not a joke. As for NPC...
Some data and documents in the wasteland are also recorded, that are, the existences in the game that interact with players are generally fixed AI programs. At least in that prosperous era, there was no "artificial intelligence" particularly described in the literature, like humans.
"Say less!" The player's words were turned on by another player as soon as he finished speaking. "Did you forget the introduction of this game to NPC?"
"Tsk, isn't it almost the same as a real person... It's just promotion anyway, do you believe it?"
"Then don't be like you. It doesn't feel strange to meet such an NPC? No matter what, it's impossible to have no information."
The other players looked at Zheng Chen again. Indeed, there was no trace of information, as if the young man in front of him was just a stone.
"It's really strange. This is not a special task, right?"
"What mission have you received?" a player quipped.
"Where is this?" Zheng Chen asked after these 'players' showed impatient expressions, especially when the player who had previously said that he was planning to kill him, he was ready to move.
"Oh! He can actually talk!"
These players said in a little surprise. The other party was about to continue saying something, but he was distracted for a while. After a while, he underestimated it in dissatisfaction, "It's true that an internal test game is so arrogant, and there are online time limits."
"Hehe, don't play if you have any opinions." Other players laughed jokingly, "There are no other games that are true. They are worthy of being known as the second world. I feel that there is no difference between reality and it's offline!"
"Wait, let me take a photo first. The first time I encountered this kind of NPC that has no attributes."
“Good idea.”
Under Zheng Chen's gaze, these players just glanced at him and disappeared from the spot, which was very strange.
Is this what they said to go offline?
I observed the place where they disappeared, and there was no trace, as if they had never appeared before. Their reaction was also very strange. They were very interested in themselves before, but they could suddenly lose this interest.
And the reality in their words, is this place fake?
My nails scratched my fingertips, and there was no deviation in the pain, not fake.
After thinking for a while, Zheng Chen chose to stay for the time being. After all, these suddenly disappeared were the first people he met, and it seemed that he knew a lot of things, which was better than going to other places blindly.
Looking up at the sky, those who disappeared should appear again.
As Zheng Chen thought, after spending the first night here, the next day, those people reappeared. When they saw Zheng Chen, they were fussy, "Look, this NPC is still here!"
“…”
"This NPC seems to have a blank look at me..." The fussy player said in confusion.
"Maybe something needs to be triggered?"
"Forget it, if we don't have this time, we should do our own thing first."
"What should I do with this NPC?"
Zheng Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and it was really not very comfortable to be called by NPC, especially the other party's tone, and he did not treat himself as a human being at all.
In their eyes, they are just a program?
He pulled the corners of his mouth slightly. He had never been exposed to the so-called game. He didn't know the mentality of these players and would not have any feelings for each other. Therefore, it was quite unpleasant.
"Since I don't care, I'll kill it just now. Maybe I can find something good."
Zheng Chen's body immediately tensed up, but among these players, the one with the higher status, looked at Zheng Chen with a strange look and shook his head slightly, "This NPC is very strange, don't do more strange things."
"Then you can't leave him alone, right?"
Other players were not very satisfied with this statement. They didn't have long been exposed to this "game" and it was just an internal test. However, during this period of internal test, they also deeply understood the differences between this special game and other conventional games.
The NPCs here are so unique! They are like real people, especially even more sophisticated than real people, and they are not like traditional online games. You can get a task if you see someone with a rhubarb exclamation mark on their heads...
If you want a task, click to discover it yourself. It is still uncertain what you can get. It is true that you can gain experience, but there are no monsters everywhere to fight. There are many ways to gain experience. Exercise is a good choice...
If it weren't for the exceptional game panel, this game would probably be no different from the real world.
These are basically no different from the promotional ones. Well, no matter how the game quality is, this is their world's first "virtual online game". It directly explodes all previous games. Don't want to play it? Take it easy and continue playing that kind of traditional online game!
"Then take him with us. There are so many of us, he can't do anything he wants."
Zheng Chen did not react too much to a more compromise. Although he didn't know what these players had to rely on, if they really tried to do it, Zheng Chen wouldn't think he would lose.
"Then we have to see if he doesn't care anymore. It's just a game. Why do we have so many concerns..." The player who advocated solving Zheng Chen muttered a little unhappy. When he looked at Zheng Chen, he decided to look at him expressionlessly, and couldn't help but make a surprise attack in his heart.
"Shut up! Have you never suffered any loss from this kind of thinking?" The leading player also noticed Zheng Chen's reaction, and his expression also made him feel a little uneasy.
The other party seemed much younger than their group, but it was so calm that they felt a little uneasy. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but it seemed that he couldn't help but said nothing.
After pulling other teammates to a slightly further distance, he continued, "What we have to do is a bit risky. The consequences of dying once in this game are too serious. It's okay to bring an NPC like this as a way to explore the way."
"This is a good idea, but the key is how to tell the other party?"
"Why try to use the money?"
“…”
Zheng Chen glanced at the players who were muttering not far away. They seemed to be able to ignore themselves. It seemed to be a certain habit they had developed? It was a very bad habit.
He raised his arm slightly and looked at it. He said that his outfit was different from them, but he didn't surprised them much?
After a while, they probably agreed. One of the players took the initiative to come to Zheng Chen and said bluntly that they were going to a place like this, and asked Zheng Chen if he intended to go with them.
“Are there any danger?”
"Uh... a little." The player who negotiated with Zheng Chen scratched his head, was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "But we can give you money."
Anyway, after the internal test, these private property will disappear, and only a few special items can be retained, which can be regarded as a benefit for internal test players.
"Give me a weapon, that type is good."
Without much hesitation, Zheng Chen spoke directly, although he wanted to figure out what was going on in this place, he was unable to hurry up and lived in the wasteland all year round. Zheng Chen knew the importance of money.
If you have money, you will be a man everywhere in the gathering place. If you don’t have money, it’s hard to find a safe place to rest.
Similarly, money is also indispensable in this place.
"Okay." The player who negotiated with Zheng Chen shrugged, pulled out a short knife from his waist and handed it to Zheng Chen.
It's so... cute.
After silently putting away the short knife with a very good feel, Zheng Chen couldn't help but think that he gave himself a weapon without thinking.
Let’s look at the other players, they didn’t respond much to the player’s actions, as if they were holding it like a piece of wood. Is this naive or cute?
"I always feel that he agreed too quickly and there is a conspiracy?" As the road was moving, the players walking in front couldn't help but look at Zheng Chen who was walking behind and talked in a low voice.
"So what? Are we afraid of one of the other people when we are almost ten? But just in case, just look forward to him and let the fourth brother go over and continue to explore the bottom."
Zheng Chen looked at the player called the fourth brother who came over with calm expression. The other party was laughing and wanted to reach out to put his hand on Zheng Chen's shoulder.
"Uh, do you want to smoke?" After Zheng Chen quietly avoided the hand he was put on, the fourth brother was not embarrassed and took out a pack of cigarettes from his inner pocket.
When he saw this thing, Zheng Chen's eyebrows slightly raised. He didn't like the smell of smoke, but this thing is a very rare luxury item in the wasteland. Those big people like it very much. In some occasions, the effect is better than money.
"Not interested." Zheng Chen shook his head.
"That's a pity, NP...ah, my friend, my name is Sihai Guiyi, where are you?" Sihai Guiyi shook his head, took out a match and lit it for himself, and asked with a curious look.
Returning to the world... Is this a name?
