Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

After Saria took Xia Yuan away, Christen looked out the window at the cloudless sky with a faint smile on her face. Well...although the words of the young Mr. Xia Yuan just now were a little harsh, every word touched her heart.

However, considering the future, she thought that Mr. Xia Yuan could go to university to get a doctoral degree in engineering. This would make things much more convenient. Many documents that needed to be approved by the Columbia authorities would at least not be criticized after he had a doctoral degree.

"Hey, there's an extra cup of coffee. Did any guests come just now?"

Christen turned around and smiled at the water elf who suddenly appeared in the small office. "What a pity! If you had come earlier, you would have met an interesting person, Muirseth."

"Hey hey hey." The girl in a research uniform with teardrops on her eyes blinked in surprise and said pitifully, "What did I miss?"

"Sareya is showing him around the project. If you go now, you might be able to meet him."

"Are you a new researcher joining Rhine Life?"

"Yeah... more like that."

After all, researchers need a license. Christen believes in the knowledge he talks about, but he is not yet a researcher. However, with PhDs becoming increasingly cheap in the scientific community at Columbia, how much value does the title of PhD bring?

I heard that in faraway Leitania, it takes years of hard study to obtain the honorific title of doctor. However, times are changing, and the current situation in Colombia is incomprehensible to the previous generation of scientists.

......

Rhine Life Science is small and does not have many facilities, but in this small space, there is a group of scientists who have a true passion for science. Xia Yuan and Saria stood outside the window, watching the people in the office questioning the results of an experiment and starting to argue, while their mentor watched them from the side without any intention of stopping them.

Then, Saria brought Xia Yuan to the Originium research project. Here, he seemed to see the shadow of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. Scientists were debugging reagents, measuring Originium reactions, and writing down their observation reports on computer terminals.

"In this land, there are only three ways to get infected with Ore Disease." Xia Yuan said lightly, his golden wings floating slightly, "Inhalation of Originium dust, Originium contaminants spread through blood, and blood inheritance... Along the way, I have witnessed the miserable conditions of the people who live in the land of suffering."

Saria looked at him, Xia Yuan shrugged and chuckled: "Latlan is the purest paradise, far away from the disputes and sufferings, without negative emotions, and the Sakota people who are willing to leave that paradise are all full of love and do what they can. Some people took guns and order from Lateran and established a stable force in the distant land of Syracuse, while others are willing to stop war with war, hoping to stop war with war... And I think the source of all suffering, or the things we need to overcome, is precisely the precious resources we often use in life, Originium."

"My friend once gave me her family motto: Don't be afraid of hardship and darkness... I am sincerely delighted with your research."

Saria smiled faintly: "This is just the beginning of Rhine Life. With more and more like-minded people, we will be able to put our ideals into practice one day."

"The next project is the research on the activation of Originium, Mr. Lanshem..."

"No need to call me sir." Xia Yuan said, "Just call me by my name."

Saria understood Xia Yuan's choice. She smiled and extended her hand to Xia Yuan. "Welcome to Rhine Life, Xia Yuan. As a colleague in the future, please give me your guidance."

Xia Yuan and Saria shook hands. The hands were strong and powerful, and the teeth were strong and powerful!

The water flowed down beside the two of them. Xia Yuan looked sideways and saw a young and beautiful elf girl stepping out of the water. She had smooth flaxen green hair and blinked her big yellow eyes. She looked at Xia Yuan curiously.

Muirseth, one of the players' wives, Xia Yuan naturally had a deep impression of this cute elf. It was definitely not just because she greeted like the traditional Ciallo of Yuzu Society... but also because of her playful attitude towards things.

"Who is this?"

Xia Yuan felt that she could apply to become an actor.

"Muirseth, one of the researchers at Rhine Life Sciences." Saria introduced calmly, "She has made great achievements in ecology. If you have any related questions, you can ask her."

Saria looked at Muerseth and said, "Next to me is Xia Yuan Lanshem, who joins the company today. He is an expert in mechanical engineering, a mechanic and a gunsmith. His arrival has injected new vitality and new research directions into Rhine Life."

Muerseth smiled and waved to Xia Yuan gracefully, "Hello (Ciallo), just call me Muerseth~"

"Me too, Xia Yuan is fine."

After the two shook hands during their first meeting, Muirseth immediately turned to Saria.

"Sareya, let's have a welcome party tonight!"

This book will be on the shelves tomorrow, and as readers expect, it will soon be updated in bursts.

Tomorrow we will have five chapters with 20,000 words.

This book is a bit slow to warm up compared to other popular books of the same type, and the update pattern is 4,000 per chapter instead of 2,000 per two chapters, which results in it not being on the click list and not standing out among similar works.

Today is the last day of the bounty. Statistics will be compiled at midnight tonight and the results will be posted here. We will add as many chapters as necessary.

As for the future direction of the plot, after all, we traveled through time early, and there are many plots that can be written and changed later. After that, there is also the plot of the end of the world, and we can write them together then.

It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Please support, pay attention and give rewards.

Chapter 31: Dance (First Order)

Rhine Life does not have many researchers, but most of them are students of researchers. Since Rhine Life's headquarters is located in Tremont, most of the employees working here are students or graduates of Tremont University.

Kristen and Saria graduated from Tremont Polytechnic Institute. Muirseth was her mentor and Yara recommended her to Rhine Life Science. She works for Rhine Life Science as an ecological observer. Her research direction is the relationship between plant ecology and the land beneath our feet.

She herself is an elf, and the elves are almost extinct in modern times. This is caused by the inability of the group itself to adapt to the harsh environment and the reaction of the Originium. As for what Muirsay thought wants to study, Xia Yuan can get an answer without looking at the information. It should be that he wants to create an environment where the elves can survive in peace.

In the conference room, he met the last senior executive, or researcher, Ahrendts Parvis, who had recently joined Rhine Life. He was an old Leitanian man who looked very bookish and had the demeanor of a mentor. He wore a pair of glasses and his eyes sparkled with wisdom.

His research topic is mainly to study the structure and morphology of the biological basic particles that construct the Terra organism, as well as the impact of structural changes on the basic functions of biological particles. It doesn't have much in common with what Xia Yuan said about "mechanical dynamics", but as future colleagues, the two still chatted with each other.

To use modern description, Ahrendts's work is that of a biologist. He has been conducting research in the biological field for nearly forty years. His research topics also include the human body's adaptability to Originium, the tolerance of infected people, and the damage caused by mineral diseases to the human body.

"Well, I ordered pizza." Kristen put down the phone and smiled. She looked at Xia Yuan who was talking about the principles of mechanical kinetic energy with Ahrendts and Muirseth. She saw that the two of them had a thoughtful look on their faces, and next to her stood Saria with a calm face.

As for why Yara is not here, she has gone to discuss the issue of shares with several venture companies as a representative and subordinate of Rhine Company. Before dark tomorrow, Xia Yuan will become one of the shareholders of Rhine Life.

"That's great, Saria."

"Everything in Rhine Life is gradually getting on track, and our dream is not far away." When Christen spoke, her eyes were reflected with the stars on the other side of the sky, but she did not look at the sky. She just looked at the three people not far away with gentle, even warm eyes.

Saria was silent. The present Christen reminded her of the time when Christen first told her about his dream. With infinite vision for the future and love for science in her heart, she still looked at the sky out of the corner of her eyes, but more often, she would temporarily return to the earth to chat and laugh with Saria and other researchers.

That’s really good, Saria smiled. All she could do was to always stand in front of Kristen and protect her from being hurt by anyone.

When the pizza arrived, Xia Yuan was disassembling his mechanical power leg to Ahrendts and Muirseth. As a mechanic, it was basic for him to disassemble a complete mechanical arm into a pile of parts and then rub the parts into a mechanical chest armor. As for the theories he talked about, they were all from books. After all, as a player, you don't need to really "understand" a career book. The existence of the progress bar allows players to not read books as painfully as in real life.

Looking at the boxes of pizza on the table, Xia Yuan spotted the tropical pineapple pizza. Hmm, it seems that the tradition of Syracuse has become famous.

The music started playing. It was the music of Leitania, with a hint of melancholy. This was Christen's taste. It seemed to be a collection of blues music that Leitania had recently released, with a hint of the charm of the last era.

Young people always come together for a moment because of their affinity, and then they get to know each other over the long years that follow. No matter what happens in the end, when they meet, they are more or less sincere.

This is inevitable, but who can tell what will happen in the future? Xia Yuan drank a low-alcohol drink and stood by the window, looking at the four people who were laughing and chatting in the small conference room.

In his impression, Rhine Life is cold, broad, and unkind. Researchers in white coats walk hurriedly, more like nine-to-five office workers than researchers. This is the future of Rhine Life, and it is irreversible. The company is getting bigger and bigger, with more and more researchers, and everything is on the right track, but will people's hearts still be the same as they were at the beginning?

Xia Yuan is not sure, but with his participation, the future Rhine Life will definitely not become that way. Look at this land more, Christen, and you will find that you are not alone.

"If you need any equipment or materials, just tell me. Rhine Life will finalize it for you." Christen came to Xia Yuan, and the two clinked their glasses. Then she drank the wine in one gulp. "If there is a chance, Xia Yuan, I would like to recommend you to my mentor."

"My advisor is in high-energy physics, and I think it has something to do with mechanical dynamics. If you want, you can go to Tremont Polytechnic University to get a Ph.D.

Kristen smiled and suggested, "It would be a lot of good to get a PhD. It's a little ironic, but what you said before is correct. Without a PhD, it's really hard to be in the scientific community at Columbia."

"I'll consider it, Christen." Xia Yuan smiled. He was not really sure whether there was such a sub-profession as a physicist. After all, when he traveled through time in his previous life, the game was still being operated. By the time he traveled through time, players had discovered hundreds of sub-professions in total. That's not all. The list of sub-professions on the strategy website would be updated by five to six every quarter based on players' new discoveries.

It is normal that no one has found the secondary profession of physicist. After all, some players will choose to enter Victoria Military Academy to experience the military academy, but absolutely no one will enter Columbia University to major in science. We are here to play games, not to study. Who wants to study after playing games? This is what all players think.

Xia Yuan didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to go to Tremont Polytechnic University for further studies. After all, what he lacked most now was time. Wouldn't he have to spend all his time in college when studying for a doctorate? But what Christen said was indeed correct. The identity of a doctor could allow him to take shortcuts on various paths.

Not far away, Muirseth and Saria held hands and danced an ancient waltz, while Ahrendts clapped his hands happily to the rhythm.

"Kristen, can I ask you to dance?"

Xia Yuan extended his hand to 23-year-old Kristen. His height was not much different from Kristen's. Just looking at his face, one would have thought that Xia Yuan was a student at some university. He was very young, and the five-year age difference did not show much.

It's the prime of life.

Christen smiled and stretched out her hand. Xia Yuan bowed very gentlemanly and kissed the back of her hand. If he was a player, he would have received a system warning by now. It seems that it is more comfortable to be an NPC.

"Do you want to fly into the sky? Like your parents?"

The music gradually turned into a passionate tango, and the person dancing with Saria became Ahrendts. Muerseth replenished water on the side and watched Kristen and Xia Yuan swaying in the lights with great interest.

"You know everything." Kristen smiled.

"Of course you need to do enough homework before coming here, right?" Xia Yuan led Christen forward, "Christen, do you know what my goal was?"

"what?"

"Personally build a large mobile city, where science, democracy and art flourish. Even the infected can live like ordinary people here, and the antidote can be obtained by studying the infected." Xia Yuan said softly, "This is just the doubts and a little rebellion in the heart of Sakota who walks on the earth."

He took Christen for a spin. Christen was not good at exercise. After all, she was still a scientific researcher. After a few movements, her face suddenly turned red and her forehead was sweaty.

Xia Yuan was not a good dancer and could be said to be a complete novice. The same could be said of Kristen. Their crooked dance steps made Muirseth laugh.

"My thoughts changed when I came to Columbia and saw the Wright family files. When can we build a mobile city in the sky? At least, we are closer to the sky."

Kristen's eyes sparkled with a strange light, and the corners of her mouth raised: "A perfect goal, I hope you can succeed."

"No, I hope we can all succeed."

After the song ended, Xia Yuan adjusted his tie and extended his hand to Saria.

This welcome party completely turned into a dance party, but no one knew how to dance. They just gathered in pairs and twisted their bodies to the music.

Xia Yuan felt a strong sense of security when he held Saria's hand. Ah, is this the sense of security brought by the Rhine King of Fighters?

As for Muirseth's hands, they were smooth and pure, which reminded people of the clarity of water.

Ahrendts...ahem, it's impossible to dance with an old goat.

After resting for a night in the hotel, he and Yara attended the Rhine Life's board meeting the next day. In addition to Rhine Life's founder Christen, there were also representatives from the Colombian army, representatives from the Melander Foundation, and members of the venture company.

The business matters have already been negotiated, and today they are just here to do the handover work. Xia Yuan did not touch the original 55% of Rhine Life's shares at all. The military and the foundation each hold 20% of the remaining 35 shares, and Xia Yuan got 15% from dozens of venture capital companies. From then on, the power of this 15% share was concentrated in the hands of one person.

As for the dissatisfaction of the venture companies... that doesn't exist. Xia Yuan didn't use any shameful means. The power in their hands was transformed into Colombian gold coins again. As for some venture companies not wanting to sell, that was their business, because Yara was easy to talk to and money was not a problem.

The problem is keeping the money, only the money you spend can make money.

After the meeting, the military representative came up to chat with Xia Yuan. They were mainly curious about but also wary of Xia Yuan's attitude and the forces behind him.

"I am not an executor of the Lateran Notary Office, nor am I a senior staff member of the Vatican." Xia Yuan extended his hand to the military representative in a friendly manner, and the two shook hands. "I am very optimistic about the future of Rhine Life and Columbia. It is your open-minded attitude that attracts investors like me."

"Colombia welcomes young people like you who are qualified and have assets." Xia Yuan gave him a good face. The military representatives would naturally not hit someone who smiled at them. Moreover, in the eyes of the military, Rhine Life is now just a small technology company. It doesn't matter if there is such a variable. After all, in recent years, many wealthy people in Victoria have chosen to invest in Colombia.

The military represents the official attitude of Colombia, and Rhine Life is ultimately a Colombian company.
