Randomly pick a stand-in every day

"Uh, there is an unopened area over there, it's impossible to get through..."

Reluctantly pouring cold water on the enthusiasm of the imitators, Raleigh greeted the team members and prepared to go out——

At this moment, the doctor suddenly mouthed something to Raleigh, then fell to the back of the line and handed him a piece of paper.

"Ok?"

Raleigh was taken aback for a moment, recalling what he asked the doctor to do, and nodded to her without checking immediately.

At this time, the most active Bunny had already taken the imitator out of the door. Seeing this, Raleigh also used a flower pot with wheels to push Tall Nut, and left the personal space with all the members.

Only one sweeping robot was left walking around at home, looking at a pot of newly sprouted seedlings...

———【Player Main City】——

Coming to the main city area called "Fortress of Time and Space" again, Raleigh saw that there seemed to be a few more rooms around his house.

Looking back, only the rooms of the player's friends will be displayed around the "Residence Area", and no room entrances of other people will appear. Otherwise, if all the players' houses are actually made out, the fortress will not be enough even if it is several times larger.

So now, Brother Huafei, the house of the Great Holy Lord and Bingfa also appeared around Raleigh, but everyone did not go to visit these people, and walked directly into the city - different from the last time, this time they went to It is not a player free trade zone, but a "commercial zone" occupied by NPCs:

The plots in this area are still paved with slightly sci-fi metal floors. Although the shapes of the houses have their own characteristics, they are generally attributed to a similar atmosphere, and there are no facilities that change the style of painting.

Five people and two plants walked on the road, forming a very conspicuous team.

The staring tall nut is more than [-] meters tall, and don't forget that just because it can get into Raleigh's pocket; Okay, two female operators are in the middle of the line, Ma Ge leads the imitator to the rear.

The difference between the tallest and the shortest is more than one and a half meters, can it be inconspicuous...

"There are still a lot of people. Sure enough, this is the main shopping area?"

According to the game manual, all the shops in the "Business District" are managed by non-player characters; what is strange is that all the NPCs in the copy can realize the highly intelligent "Full Time and Space Field", but these shopkeepers only invest in very basic program.

All these store owners can only repeat fixed lines, only respond to individual words and sentences, and stand motionless at the door 24 hours a day, which can be described as an authentic game style...

However, the types of shops here are quite complete.

In the early days of the game, those diverse production and scientific research sub-jobs are still in the manual, and few players have developed them for the time being.Therefore, the current gap in this part of the demand must be filled by these NPCs, and the importance cannot be underestimated.

Thinking about it this way, maybe doing a machine program is the best solution?If you really pull someone or a high-level AI to work here in 007, you might want to rebel...

However, Raleigh is not looking for these tool people this time:

Do you still remember [Rola Takizawa]?

This person once used Dio's voice to introduce to Raleigh that in this NPC-dominated business district, there are actually some "special shops" that are not in charge of the rigid program, and he can make such a voice, Just bought it from a store like this.

That's right, Raleigh came here this time to solve the communication problem that the team has continued to this day!

Alas, it’s too difficult to not have a voice actor. The former Ma Ge was also a "sign language master", and the rest of the operators are still using weird methods to replace voice, which is very bad for communication.

This problem has not been resolved since they met, but it won't do any good to continue like this. This time, we have plenty of funds at hand, so let's take this opportunity to get the team members out of this embarrassing silent state!

"Did he tell you the exact location? How can we tell the difference between these stores?"

Glancing at the blacksmith NPC next to him, who was too classic in appearance and yelled "All the weapons I made are good!", Marco had a headache.

I've been watching these things for a long time... I feel a little uncanny valley for some reason.

"Don't worry, the approximate location is enough. After all, special shops have a big feature——"

As Raleigh said, he pointed in a certain direction and looked at the shop sign over there: "No, this is it!"

A few people turned their heads and looked, only to see the word [angry laugh] hanging on the signboard inexplicably, which was unimaginable; maybe they were worried that no one would come, so they wrote "sound effects and special effects specialty store" in small characters.

"Why is it called this?" Tutu held up a cardboard and shook his ears.

"Sniper operator: Don't pay attention to these, let's go inside and have a look. From now on, we can probably say goodbye to this strange way of communication."

"Actually, I'm still a bit used to holding a board...but it's more convenient to talk directly, let's go~"

Therefore, the three people in need first walked into the store and looked at the interior furnishings:

There are only normal bottles and cans or other containers on the shelves, and there is no relationship with the name of the store at all.However, looking around, everyone did not find the clerk. Just when they were wondering, they suddenly saw...

A plastic toy with a handle ring car flew off the table and floated towards them!

"Good morning everyone, welcome to [laughing], I am the store manager Orb Circle, what do you need?"

------

PS: Officially soliciting opinions, what voice lines should the three operators use respectively?

After today's update is over, I will open a special leaflet to collect ideas, and everyone is welcome to participate.

Chapter 288 Kaoge.jpg

The Orb Ring, which is Ultraman Orb's transformation device, consists of a translucent circle and a black handle, with two red decorative pieces.

But now, this thing is just flying in the sky out of thin air, speaking to several people in fluent language, and expressing that he is the store manager here...

"puff!"

Raleigh, who was the calmest at first, acted the most exaggeratedly. After all, the others didn't know what such a ring was, so they could only feel the shock of the item's words, but they didn't realize where the joke was.

No, what the hell is this?Why are you a shapeshifter running out to open a shop, where's Kai?I don't want you after getting back the holy sword?

Rola Takizawa only mentioned that the staff of the "special shop" are not mass-produced NPCs without identity, but characters from various other works that appear in the dungeon—but he didn't say that the store manager of this place is a transformation device!

However, before he could complete the management of emergency expressions, following the speech of Uub Circle, a gorgeous blond man stood up under the cash register——his head had bird feathers as a "decoration", as if in pity The expression is like a god lamenting the pain of time.

"Mr. Stranger?!"

Marco took a step back in shock, although according to the timeline, he should not have had the chance to meet this operator;

However, the feature of breaking four walls as a candidate for Secret Realm [-] allowed him to know a lot of information that only Ark players could know, and he naturally got to know this famous male six-star warlock.

In fact, it's not just him, the other three are also the same, but they are silent and did not make any movement...

"...Ah, what a surprise, is he actually a member of Rhodes Island?"

The blond-haired Tripoli man was caught by the startled breath, looked up at the clothes of Marco and the others, recognized that it was indeed the style of Rhodes Island, and showed a slight smile

"Nice to meet you, but I'm sorry, I'm not the stranger from the continent of Terra as you think."

Said, he shook his head slightly

"Elliott...you're talking too many irrelevant things, don't bother the guests." A man with the same blond hair, but lighter in color, and wearing a technical-style combat uniform came out from the back door and interrupted Introduction of strangers.

This is McGillis from the "Gundam" series. If you have no impression of this name, just remember that he and the "Captain Olga" are from the same work.

"Okay, don't mind, everyone, please buy what you need~"

Under Raleigh's strange eyes, who wanted to complain but couldn't say anything, McGillis led the three operators to the side counter and helped them choose what they needed.

"This……"

What, what, what?What are these?

Staring dumbfounded at the three guys with very similar voices, Raleigh never expected such a scene in the so-called special effects store.

Why did you guys get together!Where is Kao?Brother Kao, why don't you take care of it?

"I know what you're trying to say, guest. You guessed right."

The Orb Circle sensed Raleigh's cramp-like expression, and flew over to explain to him: "[Don't associate voice actors with characters], the few of us met by this opportunity."

"The same voice is the only connection between us who have nothing to do with each other. This mysterious connection that has nothing to do with fate allows us to meet."

The stranger nodded in agreement, saying some strange words that people seemed to understand, but actually didn't understand.

"..."

However, Raleigh has stopped thinking, and he doesn't want to delve into the details of this at all.

"Hey, let's get down to business, regardless of your status. What do you sell here?"

Talking to a ring still made him feel a little rough, so Raleigh turned to the stranger and asked questions.

"Sound, light, auditory and visual signals can perceive most of them cannot directly assist in combat, but may also have other functions."

As the stranger said, he touched the origin stone crystal on his forehead with his fingers, and a bright lightning flashed from his fingertips:

"For example, you can buy the current special effects in my hand. It is just the stimulation of sound and light, and has no real power; however, if it is used to mislead, intimidate, or simply decorate, you may have a reason to want it. Most of our products here are like this.”

After that, he turned off the electric current. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Raleigh always felt that this person didn't open his eyes when he spoke.

"So, there are really only special effects... But it's true, it's not necessarily useless."

Raleigh nodded. In fact, even if it was completely useless, he felt that many people would still want to buy it.

"That's right, our main business is content related to sound and special effects. For example, adding electronic sounds or echoes when speaking, making the body or objects emit a certain light effect, or modifying the visual effects of some abilities...pay the corresponding price , we can do a lot of things.”

The Orb Circle came to add an explanation, and now Raleigh basically clarified their business content.

Just like fashion, although the actual effect has not changed, it looks completely different, so there will indeed be a lot of market appearances.

"So, changing the voice actor...ah no, I mean, can it be done by changing another voice?"

"Yes, but I do not advise you to choose so lightly."

The Uub circle flashed a few times: "A person's voice and voice may not have much meaning from a materialistic point of view; but from a mystic perspective, voice is the same as the real name, it is related to fate, It’s best not to change things that belong to you at will.”

"Ah, it seems that there is indeed such a saying..."

Hearing this, Raleigh hesitated for a moment, but soon decided that it should be done; now that the three operators have been without voice actors for a long time, and have left the land of Terra, they have the opportunity to "recover themselves" like Marco. It doesn't look like much.

Therefore, let them choose the voice that best fits their impression of "should be suitable for them".

…………

As we all know, the same voice actor can often have completely different feelings.Therefore, the "voice" sold by this shop that Kaoge was furious is not based on the voice actor, but is calculated according to the "voice line", which is represented by the name of the character.

After about 15 minutes, Big Dog, Doctor and Tutu chose their own voices after comparison and deliberation.

It's a bit unexpected, each sound ray potion only costs 100 space-time coins, Raleigh thought it would be higher, but the Orb Circle said that it only gives the sound ray, and this price is enough.

Later, after asking the stranger, Raleigh spent 200 space-time coins to buy a [Seiyuu Potion].
