Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Liquid's second in command, Xueyuxingfeng, saw this helplessly, he also knew that what Lao Silai said was true. After leaving the novice area, they entered the small town, and after becoming a patrol team in the small town, they accidentally learned the secondary profession of knight from the captain of the patrol team. Over the past few dozen days, they have been working day and night to complete tasks. The highest level one is Lao Silais, and his experience supports him to upgrade the novice knight to Lv4.

To participate in the competition at this level is like asking for food.

"I heard from the NPCs in the town that knights who perform well in the knight competition can have the opportunity to enter the main city of Casimir. After the internal test is over, I can give it a try." Lao Silais said in a deep voice, "Although the knight competition is called a knight competition, it is not limited to the secondary profession of knights. I went to listen to the promotion a few days ago and saw that among the many participants, there were also people equipped with crossbows and magic swords."

"The level cap for 1.0 is 30. When everyone in Liquid reaches level 15, we will participate in the competition."

After Lao Silais finished speaking, the four people including Xueyuxingfeng nodded. This level 15 sub-profession is naturally a useful sub-profession. The professional players of their professional teams will naturally not look for rubbish sub-professions to rush to level up.

Bloody Rain and Wind said, "I heard from the NPC that the 21st Casimir Knights Competition will be held in Casimir's main city next year. We can temporarily sprint towards this goal. Even if we lose, there should be rewards to be won."

A few people glanced at the old calendar on the table. There were still five months until next year 1088, so they would still have plenty of time after the internal test was over.

Laoslais glanced at the time. There were still a few hours of Terra time before the internal test ended. They couldn't do anything at this point. They would be back in a few days anyway. "We'll have a meeting after we log off the line. Tell everyone about this decision and ask the coaching staff if they have any new discoveries."

"learn."

"OK"

Several people made OK gestures and logged off from their beds. Soon the lively little house was empty.

A few hours later, all players in Terra ended the one-month internal test and went offline, leaving many residents of small towns and villages confused. Where are the Bull Demon players? Did they steal something and run away?

Dandao Danta reluctantly said goodbye to Xia Yuan and went offline. He was afraid that when he came online again, this handsome NPC would have disappeared.

Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Being stuck like this every day, especially by Nan, to be honest, it was a little hard for him to hold back.

He glanced at the system bar.

[Template: NPC (90 days, 1 hour, 19 minutes, and 18 seconds until the public beta starts)]

The time ratio between "Ark" and the real world is three to one, and the public beta will be launched one month after the end of the internal beta. From this perspective, the timing is very reasonable.

He was going to return to Rutland.

As a messenger.

......

After dozens of days and nights, Xia Yuan stood on the land in front of the Holy City again. He had been away for more than a year, but the Holy City had not changed at all. It was still the only pure land in the land of suffering.

After showing his identity to the Lateran Guards in front of the door, Xia Yuan had his physical condition checked. The job of a messenger is indeed very dangerous, and a physical check is necessary every time a messenger returns to the holy city.

After a blood test showed that Xia Yuan was not infected with oripathy, she was allowed to enter the city.

He did not rush home immediately, but parked the car next to the Rutland Notary Office, dusted himself off, and Xia Yuan walked in.

As a messenger, returning to the city regularly to report on work progress is also part of the job, but Xia Yuan feels that it is unnecessary. The degree of completion of the messenger's work can be seen from the terminal, so doing so is completely redundant.

Xia Yuan bowed to Ilse, the white-haired old man on duty at the notary office, and said, "I want to apply for the highest authority of the Lateran Library."

Ilse looked at him with a smile on her face. "I will report this to the Pope's Office and I won't get a response until a few days later."

"Compared to this, like the news sent back by other messengers, you also reported the intelligence of wanderers who suddenly appeared on this land. You said that you had contact with several of them. So, have you found out anything?"

Hearing this, the elder councillors who were handling other matters also stopped their work. They fixed their eyes on the most well-informed messenger, who was perhaps the youngest messenger in their notary office... and also the youngest and most outstanding youth in the Holy City of Lateran.

The information about the players' appearance cannot be hidden from many people who are interested. Those in power and leaders are not fools, and they are naturally wary of these sudden wanderers. However, they still lack information, a lot of information.

But in Xia Yuan's report, he had close contact with several vagrants... This attracted the attention of the notary office, so when the report was made, most of the senior executives of the notary office attended.

This conversation will be heard by the current Pope intactly, which may determine Lateran's attitude towards players, and may also determine the current Pope's attitude towards Xia Yuan - whether to continue to let him travel this land as a messenger to fulfill his duty as Sakota, or to believe that his power can play the greatest role internally.

Xia Yuan was not prepared to be permanently bound to Rutlan, but after all, he was a Sakta.

"I have negotiated with several of them. They are young and middle-aged, of various races, both men and women. They have no past and no background, and suddenly appeared on this land." Xia Yuan pretended to recall and continued, "They use small settlements as their bases for activities. Their purpose is not clear yet, but as long as you give them a certain amount of compensation, they will work hard for you."

"I have never heard of any wandering Sakota race." An old man said sharply, and he shook his head violently. "It's ridiculous, really ridiculous."

"Xia Yuan, I heard what you said about their performance. What do you think? Will they pose a threat to Lateran's existing survival?" Ils calmed the old man's anger and turned his rational gaze back to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan recalled his past life. In the early and middle stages, the players did not have much impact on Lateran or other forces. But when the players were promoted to the four-star level, there were tens of millions of four-star players in the entire Terra. They were immortal and were always fighting... By that time, some forces had already regarded the players as a threat.

Although the players are not very united, in general, they always have a superior mentality towards NPCs and forces. After all, this is a game, not the real world. For example, players will kill and burn for fun in GTA20, but in the real world they are good citizens who abide by the law.

There are players who are orderly and good, but there are also many players who are chaotic and evil.

What players want to experience is an emotion called respect. In MMORPG, the player's identity in the other world is actually a projection of themselves. They enjoy this unprecedented other world and at the same time regard this body as an avatar in the other world.

As long as there is respect, benefits, a certain degree of freedom, and an emotional story, players will always stand loyally on your side - this is how Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals treats their operators, and similarly, they treat players in the same way.

"They are newborns who know very little about this land. They are mercenaries who are willing to risk their lives for monetary rewards. They are human beings with emotions and desires."

Xia Yuan concluded, "Respect, benefits, and freedom. As long as they are given these, Lateran will surely be the only holy light in this land of suffering, just like in the past."

This was a nice remark, but the old man still sneered at the "players" Xia Yuan mentioned, "It sounds nice, but they are actually mercenaries. Oh, God, there are so many Sakota mercenaries who don't believe in dogma. I am guilty..."

Ilse consoled him with a few words. He pondered for a moment and nodded slowly. "I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Xia Yuan Lanshem. It's a very wonderful report. I believe the Pope will be very happy to hear this information."

Xia Yuan nodded, stood up and left.

Anything that remains unchanged will change. Some people will fear it, spit on it, or curse it... But not everything will remain unchanged. The strong will only face it with their heads held high. Ilse took the record from the scribe beside him and walked towards the Pope's Hall.

When Xia Yuan returned home, he unexpectedly discovered that the house had been cleaned. He didn't remember to whom he gave the key. He smelled the clean scent in the air and it seemed that the other party had just come to clean.

He took off his walking coat and threw it into the washing machine to clean it. Then he went into the bathroom and took a comfortable hot bath.

Thanks to Ark, which provides the most realistic fluid touch, players can take a bath in the game no longer be a dream.

But players can't take off their pants when taking a shower, which is embarrassing.

Not only can he take off his clothes, he can also defecate.

After drying his hair, Xia Yuan leaned on the sofa in silence for a while. The sudden comfort of returning home made him feel at ease and tired. After lying on the sofa for a while, he soon fell into a deep sleep.

He was awakened by a knock on the door. This journey on the earth had given him a better sense of precaution. It was already dark outside. Xia Yuan had a halo and wings so he didn't need to turn on the lights. He walked to the door by feeling his way, looked through the peephole, and then opened the door.

"Surprise~"

A cake was handed to him. Xia Yuan took it and looked at the person who came.

"I heard from my friends at the notary office that you were back, so I came to see you." Mostima blinked her charming blue eyes, with a gentle and elegant smile on her face, "So I thought of coming to raid you. How are you? Did you miss me?"

50 monthly tickets = 1 chapter

50 blades = 1 chapter

500 recommendation votes = 1 chapter

5000 rewards = 1 chapter

The reward calculation will start from the early morning of November 11th and will last until the midnight of November 9th before the product is put on the shelves. At that time, screenshots will be taken to record the data. There will be no delays or delays.

Thank you everyone for coming!

PS: There are quite a lot of friends who gave me tips today, so I will start counting from Thursday, November 11th.

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 17 Rutland passed through my fingertips, passed over my head, passed under my feet

Mostima, the first person of his age he met in Lateran, his former classmate and also a friend.

The tasks in the task bar are still hanging high, and the importance of B-level tasks seems to be telling something.

Xia Yuan half moved aside to let Mostima in, and turned on the light.

Just like Rutland, which is lit by thousands of lights, the lights are soft and warm.

Mostima brought the famous cakes from a famous dessert shop nearby. He once heard players say that when they played the Sakota race, they did not have the habit of liking sweets like the indigenous people. However, as an NPC, his past memories told him that he still liked sweets very much.

The two of them sat down at the table. Xia Yuan brought plates, knives and forks and began to divide the cake. Mostima didn't move. She leaned back in her chair, sometimes looking out the window, sometimes looking at him.

"Your clothes..."

Xia Yuan looked at Mostima, who was wearing a convenient action suit with white as the main color. He knew that this was the uniform of the notary office - he personally looked at this suit like a set of transmogrified skins, which provided limited attributes to the character, and was not as good as the expensive travel suit he wore when walking on the earth.

Although Rutland's aesthetic taste is not bad and this dress looks good on anyone, Xia Yuan has always been very realistic in reality.

"Have you joined the notary office?"

Mostima blinked and smiled, saying, "I formed a special task force with some friends I knew, and we are currently working for the notary office."

The special service team is not an executor. These are two different concepts. One is to act as a group and participate in small and medium-sized special service tasks, including pursuit, ambush, assassination, investigation and other tasks. The executor is the sharpest knife of the notary office. After multiple levels of assessment, only one person out of a hundred people can become an executor. The executor can achieve perfect evaluation in all aspects. They are like a sophisticated machine, faithfully executing the orders of the notary office.

"Hmm... You should know Remuel among the team members." Mostima thought, "She is Remuel's sister. You should have met her once."

"And Fiammetta, a reliable Liberian companion who is very skilled in the use of the gun."

"The captain is Andorn, a good man. Sometimes it's hard to understand what he's thinking even if you can empathize with him, but he's trustworthy."

Xia Yuan smiled when he heard this, "Isn't this pretty good?"

Mostima smiled, her emotions always looked so gentle and calm. "It's not hard for you. What stories have you experienced as a messenger in this land for the past year?"

Xia Yuan talked about his travels. The journey was very boring and his main topic was still Syracuse, after all, he stayed there the longest.

Mostima listened with a smile. At this moment, she looked very much like the goddess-like senior schoolmate in the academy who was silently worshipping her.

As for Andorn's case, it was still a little over three years before the incident, so he was not in a hurry.

As a teammate, Andorn has always been reliable.

Walking on this land, he is still alone. It is naturally difficult to win over all the players with one person's strength. He may be able to do so at the beginning of the new version, but as the players gradually grow, their relationship with Xia Yuan should be consolidated and improved.

"Have you also reported the newly appeared wanderers of unknown origin?"

Mostima nodded and recalled, "Andorn discovered it. In the village where we settled in Iberia, dozens of young men and women suddenly appeared overnight. They were all Sakota. The village chief asked them and found out that they didn't seem to know how they got here... But the village chief arranged jobs for them, and they were very happy to accept them."

"I also discovered this. I reported this matter to the notary office in my previous report. I believe the Pope has his own judgment."

It was late at night, and Mastema glanced at the time, "I should go now."

"Well...thank you for helping me clean the room during this time."

Mastema smiled, "How did you know?"

"The scent in the room is exactly the same as your scent."

Mostima was silent. She turned her head awkwardly and went to the clothes rack to take her clothes.

"By the way, what type of gun do you want for your guardian gun?"

Thinking of the mission, Xia Yuan asked Mastema to stay. She turned her head and smiled elegantly, "Secrets are the best way to surprise people, aren't they?"

She left, but her scent remained.

Xia Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead. He should have done a reconnaissance on Mostima just now to see what level she was at, and most importantly, to see how much favorability she had.

For tidying up the room for herself, her favorability should be around 20. After all, he didn't give her any gifts, so it shouldn't be over 30 like Cellinina's.

After resting for a few days in Rutland and enjoying a brief life where one could hear explosions while having breakfast, Xia Yuan received a letter.

The letter praised his performance as a messenger and his ability to collect intelligence. The other party praised his summary of the wanderers, but it was still in the stage of collecting intelligence, and the Pope's Office could not make a policy on these wanderers of unknown origin. At the end of the letter, the other party congratulated him on obtaining the highest authority of the Lateran Public Library and hoped that he would continue to develop his talents as an excellent student in the college and study hard.

At the end of the letter was a person's name - Evangelista XI

Oh cowhide.

Xia Yuan put the letter away. He was just a nobody now, nothing at all, so he didn't need to feel proud or scared about the letter written to him by the Pope. In a way, he was the most active and the most "rebellious" one among these native people in the Lateran.

In 1087, Lateran, where I was, was ranked the best region in all of Terra.

Why? People eat three meals a day in dessert shops, explosions resound in the streets every day, and the rate of gun ownership ranks first in Terra. It is undeniable that this is the fact. There is still an endless stream of pilgrims coming here. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it is a lie or an illusion. But it is so close that it seems within reach, making you forget your life. This is the holy city of Lateran, and I am a dreamer.

Xia Yuan spent the next few days in the library. After obtaining the highest authority, he was not only able to access the job transfer books of the auxiliary system and other main professions, but also the job transfer book of the gunsmith. In addition, he also found a lot of skill books of technicians.

If players want to enter the highest level of the library, their faction relationship must reach the highest level of loyalty to enter here. For the players, this is a painful and happy time, but for Xia Yuan, the notary office's trustworthy young genius, it is not so troublesome.

Inside the room, Xia Yuan, who had just been promoted from a novice gunsmith to an apprentice gunsmith, was making a rapid-fire submachine gun according to the rolled-out blueprints. This type of firearm was much less common in Lateran than the simple and easy-to-use pistol. As a rapid-fire gun, the difficulty of controlling it was greatly increased. For Xia Yuan now, it was difficult to use the gun he had made.
