Chapter 42 #27 Extraordinary NPCs
"Ah, is it?"

If the plot is correct, the email at this time should be a task email related to the investigation organized by GLA.Tea immediately opened the mailbox to check the letter, and sure enough, in the list of important letters, he found the letter sent by Oreki Houtaro to the girl.This is obviously the same as the letter received during the closed beta.

When you open the email, you can see the almost expected title.The title of the letter is "Initial plan for GLA organization research, tea leaves, Xu Shengshou"

"After analyzing the first batch of evidence materials, the investigation team of the GLA organization has preliminarily judged the stronghold of the GLA organization. But we can't start the attack. Before there is no conclusive information, please do not attack the stronghold. Please follow the command. .”

"By unlocking Miss Tea's file and password, we obtained the following coordinates. This area is often approached by enemies of the Human Reform Alliance, so it is very likely that the coordinates belong to the GLA organization. But in order to Just in case, we need to investigate in the surrounding area. Therefore, we dispatched two superpower fighters, Tea Tea and Xu Sheng, to investigate near the coordinates indicated in the letter."

"The method of investigation is to ask the surrounding people and conduct disciplinary interrogations on the enemies of the Human Revolutionary League, to find as many clues as possible, and then send them back to the headquarters."

After reading this letter, the task status of Tea Tea changed.The last line of the letter, the mandate, becomes the mission objective.Unsurprisingly, the flow of the task remains unchanged.Every time I receive a task and see the result after completing the task is the same as the route I took, Tea leaves feel very at ease.

I remember that during the closed beta, the follow-up mission sent by Houtaro Oreki should have arrived the next day.Unexpectedly, he would be able to issue the task after only a few hours.But what's the use of sending tasks to tea leaves at this time?Today, the tea task points have been completed again, and the SP can no longer increase.Tasks such as finding clues can only be completed slowly among the many bounty tasks and side quests. That is to say, the effect of receiving the mission appointment order tomorrow is exactly the same as receiving the mission appointment order today.

So, the tea leaves are ready to go offline
The ink has been blotted for a day, and it is almost nine o'clock in the evening.Tea wants to quit the game, go out to take a shower, and then go to sleep.The tea leaves in the past will definitely continue to be inked in the game, but now she doesn't want to be inked in the current way. The way to escape the game and reality is to sleep.

So recently, the girl has always been complained by Gu Lanxiu and Noyce as "sleeping like a pig all day!" or something.While it sounds true, the tea leaves don't care.

Tealeaves opened the menu, looking for a button to log out of the game.At this time, Xu Sheng suddenly came to Minato's side, and said cautiously: "That... big sister, tomorrow... shall we go to the mission? About... when will it be?"

"Nonsense, what time can it be if it's not tomorrow?" Tea leaves froze for a moment, then gave Xu Sheng a blank look.She couldn't figure out what this NPC was thinking more and more.Xu Sheng's reaction and words and deeds became more and more unbelievable, almost... like a teenager who was struggling with his mind.

Is this guy still a sophomore?

Tea leaves feel that he is like a player standing beside her...

"Oh...oh." Xu Sheng seemed to realize that he was asking an unnutritious question, so he nodded awkwardly.

This guy must have something on his mind, can an NPC have something on his mind?Although in the NPC's AI code, it is true that the NPC can express such feelings, but only the NPC can make the NPC feel worried-that is to say, the "performance" of the two NPCs due to the needs of the plot relationship.If the NPC has something on the player's mind...

Tea can't imagine!
"Hey! Xu Sheng!" The girl immediately stopped Xu Sheng. At this time, she had to ask Xu Sheng directly what he was going to do!
"Why do you feel weird these two days, what are you thinking about, young man." Tea asked seriously.

"Oh? It's nothing! It's really nothing!" Xu Sheng was slightly taken aback, and then replied immediately.

"Quickly tell the truth! Your expression betrays you!"

"..." Xu Sheng opened his mouth slightly, he had nothing to say, and the tea leaves stared at him closely, which is called deterrence.Soon, the boy who was half a head taller than the girl turned his head aside guiltily.He whispered: "That big sister... I... just have a little private matter... Can I not..."

"Can NPCs also have their own private affairs?" The purpose of NPC design and AI design is to serve players.Your own private affairs?What a joke.

"I'm not..." Xu Sheng said hastily, but he stopped talking halfway through.

"What are you not?" Tea leaves are quite concerned about this sentence!

"It's nothing... Uh, that big sister, don't you want to rest?" Xu Sheng's eyes wandered, looking overwhelmed, and suddenly began to change the subject.This guy with feelings can also play tricks, what boy is he avoiding!Tea decided that no matter what, he would break the casserole with Xu Sheng today.

"I'm not tired now! I just want to know what you're thinking!" Tea asked seriously.

"They say it's just a private matter..."

"Your NPC can still have private affairs?"

"..." Sure enough, when it came to NPC-related issues, Xu Sheng lost his temper.It seems that the crux of the problem is here!Tea decided to continue asking in this direction.

"Well, big sister, can you give me a little private space..." Xu Sheng was silent for a while, then asked cautiously.Tea was delighted, and really didn't know how to complain about such a weird thing that NPCs would ask for their own private space. NPC data or something, you can check it on the server, and there is still a private space?
Feeling Xu Sheng no longer regards himself as an NPC, right?

Legend has it that an actor must "take himself as that role" in order to use his acting skills so that the audience does not feel disobedient.If the NPC also has such acting skills, then the development ability of the development team of Chacha is also too powerful, right?

However, no matter how powerful they are, they can't let the program cross the line!In order to prevent the occurrence of such things as "robot counterattack", the NPC's AI is still added with the three commandments of robots-namely: serve human beings, cannot harm human beings, and cannot doubt their own identities.Xu Sheng obviously committed one of them...

Unless, his reaction like this is only to promote the plot...

Therefore, the tea leaves are more and more sure that there is something wrong with Xu Sheng.

"I suddenly felt... you are not an NPC played by an administrator with nothing to do?" Tea leaves narrowed his eyes.

"Aren't I... and Big Sister... all the same?" Xu Sheng seemed to be having a hard time asking this sentence.He was at a loss, his eyes were so empty that he seemed to be able to suck in the world, this question actually made the tea leaves feel a little remorse.

Is it wrong to ask yourself so hard?

But the more this is the case, the more suspicious it is!Tea made a firm heart, and retorted sharply: "It's the same size as you!"

"Obviously I think it's... well." Xu Sheng suddenly took two steps back, and said with a forced smile, "Elder Sister's head feels weird, she must be tired, take a rest, I've got something to do outside first!" Said After finishing, he ran out of the door in a flash!

"..." Tea leaves stared blankly at Xu Sheng who disappeared in front of her almost in a second, as if a horse of grass and mud galloped past in her heart. "Fuck, you, the weirder-looking guy, actually ran away from me, you bastard!"

……

Afterwards, Tea Tea tried to find Xu Sheng again but couldn't find it.

The ghost knows what happened to this guy. Faced with such a situation, Tea Tea, one of the developers, decided that Xu Sheng's anomaly was suspected of being a bug, and she wanted to report it.But...she was worried that after the GM disposed of Xu Sheng, her main plot would be over, so she decided not to report it for the time being—even though Xu Sheng's actions were suspicious.

In the next few days, Tea Tea didn't intend to make things difficult for Xu Sheng, and Xu Sheng was willing to follow the girl to make soy sauce, except that occasionally he would still become very strange.The tea leaves kept knocking on the side, trying to get some information out of Xu Sheng's mouth, but unfortunately Xu Sheng was not usually vigilant, and the girl's side knocking all failed.

In the end... Xu Sheng still seemed to be normal.

Could it be my psychological effect all the time?

The girl was puzzled, but this doubt was gradually forgotten because of Xu Sheng's calm.On the contrary, the confusion about one's appearance has the upper hand, but once the tea leaves resort to the "ostrich immersion method", concentrate on solving the plot, and then go offline to sleep, except that getting up and washing may make yourself uncomfortable , but I didn't struggle with physical problems for too long.

As for Xu Sheng, he can do whatever he likes, whether he is courteous, willing to run errands, or willing to help the tea block the knife... The tea readily accepts it.But having said that, Xu Sheng really deserved to fulfill his duties as a younger brother.Thinking about it afterwards, Tea Tea really felt that Xu Sheng shouldn't be embarrassed.

Although in the heart of tea, NPCs have no human rights, just a few lines of code, run through a huge library function, the illusion that appears after compilation...

Leaving Xu Sheng aside, the topic got on the right track.The day after Tea defeated Eve, Gu Lanxiu also entered the personal main line, and the next day, Noyce also entered her personal main line.Under the great deployment that Tealeaves thinks, their personal main storylines are not too deviated from those in the closed beta.

In the following period of time, they basically practiced according to the upgrade route during the internal test, each doing their own tasks.Occasionally, I will get together to do some reward tasks, and consume all the task points and SP limit of the day.Because the plot during this period basically follows the path of the closed beta, Tea Tea is also a lot easier.

It felt like seeing the end.

Near the base of the GLA organization, Tea Tea and the others cleared up a gang organization as if they were happy to help others, and then found out some underground organizations of the Human Revolutionary Federation hidden in the houses. In the words of Houtaro Oreki: "You almost Purified that area."

However, there was a price for doing so, that is, the Human Revolutionary League targeted them for revenge, so that in the later period, they were repeatedly attacked on the road.It's a pity that the attack was not very powerful, and they were all resolved one by one.Tealeaves who are familiar with the plot are prepared for these attacks, but Xu Sheng still blocks the knife for her when the situation happens, it really makes him difficult...

Finally, after a week, the plot finally entered the next turning point.Because Houtarou Oreki finally made up his mind and began to forcibly investigate the address in the document Eve gave him!

This mission needs to challenge two powerful bosses - the first one is a melee agile robot, it is really similar to Oberon.The second boss is a giant stationary mechanical monster at the core of the base.When the task is over, Xu Sheng will be transferred because of his excellent performance.Then, the tea can get rid of that second disease!
During the closed beta, Tea Tea got through the plot with Gu Lanxiu and Noyce at once.This time there must be no exceptions, and Tea needs them to move forward with her!
