Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Muir Seth hummed, "Then I won't bother you for now, see you tonight~"

After saying that, the girl's figure gradually turned into transparent pure water and returned to Xia Yuan's water bottle.

Xia Yuan got off the car, and the players who were no longer unfamiliar with the pioneer came to greet him with a smile. They opened the store and unexpectedly found stronger equipment inside. It seemed that the pioneer was also replenishing the stock during this period!

During this period, the players gradually became richer. After getting used to it, some players who had bought equipment from Xia Yuan before also chose to continue to spend money to upgrade their equipment. This is much better than the scrap metal bought in the town, and the equipment attributes given are very impressive.

"Mr. Pioneer, do you have any traps or weapons needed for special professions?"

The player who asked this question was Magic ZX. Xia Yuan took a look at him. He naturally had an impression of this ID. He was a senior UP host. The profession he chose was also a special profession that everyone generally thought was useless in the early stage. However, he was able to use the low-level equipment of the special profession in various ways to defeat bosses or deal damage time and time again. He was a person who had studied this game deeply.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "Are you studying a special profession?"

"Yes."

"I see that you have great potential. It just so happens that I may need the help of a special occupational trap during my upcoming trip. Would you like to be my assistant temporarily?"

Magic ZX's eyes widened, and he was completely stunned. Was this a hidden plot? Was his luck that good? He was so excited that he wanted to take out his clappers and give a talk show.

Several young men who were shopping and asking for information around Xia Yuan were suddenly in an uproar.

"This person triggered the hidden plot just like Qiu Muyu!"

"Fuck, you're so lucky. Why? Do you have to be a special class? Or do you have to tell the pioneers that you're a special class?"

"Wait, every time a pioneer appears, it is an opportunity to trigger a hidden mission. Before Qiu Muyu, wasn't there a player named Dan Dao Dan Tart who also triggered a hidden plot?"

"It's actually the magic teacher. Wow, the magic teacher is so lucky now. I have a topic for the video!"

Xia Yuan was immediately surrounded by players. They came forward one by one to talk to Xia Yuan. Among them, a small number of players with special professions volunteered to act with Xia Yuan, but they were all declined.

"Does this mean that only the first person who talks to him can trigger this hidden main plot?"

I don't know who muttered this, and the players immediately began to use other words to attack Xia Yuan indirectly. For a while, the camp was noisy and no one could hear who was talking.

Magic ZX was ecstatic, he had wanted to make a video about the pioneers for a long time, about the first high-level NPC that appeared around the players, and he actually had the opportunity to get close to him. He could make his story into a TV series, and with his own easy-going commentary, he could easily get attention!

Coincidentally, Xia Yuan thought so too.

He felt that sometimes he disappeared for too long, and if he was away for too long, he would be forgotten by the players, so he and the Magic ZX were "hit it off". Xia Yuan needed the Magic ZX to spread his popularity among the player community, and the magic teacher himself also needed video material, so now both of them can make some money!

Egg Knife Egg Tart came to Magic ZX and said, "Congratulations. I hope you will give me more guidance in the future, Magic Teacher."

"You're welcome. Well, I can't help but recite a poem for this happy occasion." Magic ZX smiled and nodded.

"The sun shines brightly and warms the earth. My mood is as broad as the sky. I smile with no worries and am happy without limit!"

Chapter 35 Journey Vlog

As mentioned before, most of the players in Colombia have become accustomed to the work of pioneers. Some of them have joined the Pioneer Association, which is one of the forces that has been recruiting players since the launch of the server. The benefits are average, but there are many tasks, and every player can get a share of the pie.

Among the new equipment sold by Xia Yuan this time, there is a pathfinder aircraft and an electric glove. The former is used for reconnaissance, and the latter is a glove with electric current attached, which needs to be charged before use. It can release electric current periodically during unarmed combat, and if you are lucky, it can paralyze the opponent.

Many players have bought these two new equipment. During a battle, the weapons might slip out of their hands, so they don’t have to be afraid of close combat.

As for the price of the Pathfinder, it is indeed very expensive, costing 200,000 Lungmen coins. This is indeed a bit expensive for current players. Most people only have 20,000 to 30,000 in savings, and this is the result of recent frugality.

However, the players were not so stubborn. Soon, guilds and small groups came forward to buy. With more people, they had money. What's more, with this, they could be more efficient in pioneering new land, and the money they spent could be earned back faster.

They soon started using the updated equipment when exploring in the wild. Many players fell in love with the Pathfinder's appearance. Every boy may have played with or seen a remote-controlled toy car or a remote-controlled helicopter when he was a child. The feeling of controlling a flying vehicle is like returning to their childhood self. Not to mention that the Pathfinder is wrapped in a mechanical device with a fascinating matte touch. It is so cool to carry it with you.

After a while, all the players in Barichara Town started playing Pathfinder, and nearly a hundred aircraft were hovering in the sky.

Xia Yuan leaned against the pickup truck with his arms folded across his chest. The use of the flying vehicle reduced the number of players around him. To be honest, it was quite tiring to be surrounded by players for a long time, especially with many female players who made eyes at him and some even wanted to touch him all over. He was really disgusted.

Currently, he has his eyes on three players who can serve as a force for him to influence other players in the future: Magic ZX Teacher, a popular video UP host, Egg Knife and Egg Tart, the mainstay of the guards' professional players, and Qiu Muyu, the production goddess. These three seem to be a lot, but they are still not enough for the future in terms of influence.

He needs to get in touch with the players of the professional team. He remembers that Casimir does have a professional team, Team Liquid, so he can go and see what they are doing.

As for the other dynasty team composed entirely of Sarkaz that he knew of, all of their members had joined the Tracys Army. Well, it might be difficult to contact them.

The commotion here attracted a group of players who had just returned from pioneering. After asking around, they immediately ran excitedly to Xia Yuan and started giving him money.

Those who lacked equipment bought equipment, and those who lacked professional books bought professional books. Xia Yuan accepted everyone who came. Just after a few waves of customers, his savings and experience increased a lot again.

Well, it turns out that selling professional books is a faster and more satisfying way to make money. It is much more efficient than hammering iron.

For a moment, Xia Yuan's Tao heart almost lost its balance. He felt a little bit drifting. He couldn't do this. He had to hammer the iron. After all, there was a low chance that the blueprint would explode when hammering the iron.

Although his luck is E, no blueprint has been revealed so far.

Inside the pickup truck, Xia Yuan's water bottle was opened again, and mini Muir Seth poked his head out, curiously watching the scene of Xia Yuan negotiating with the "stranger"... So amazing, Xia Yuan is actually as good at negotiating business as Yara!

After a night's rest, Xia Yuan got on the pickup truck again, but this time there were two players sitting in the back seat. One looked a little nostalgic for the excited Egg Knife and Egg Tart, and the other was Magic ZX who was looking at the interior of the pickup truck curiously.

"Mr. Pioneer, where is our destination?" Dandao Dantart asked in a low voice, relying on his slightly more familiar relationship with Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror and said, "Let's go back to Casimir and then go to Kazdel."

"Kazdel?" Dandao Dantart exclaimed, he was worried about Xia Yuan, "Mr. Pioneer, Kazdel is in a civil war right now, it's too dangerous."

"Yes, it's too dangerous." Xia Yuan said softly, "But it's not as dangerous as those ordinary Sarkaz civilians who just want to survive."

Magic ZX couldn't help but sigh a few times when he heard this. He had been recording the screen since he got on the car. At this moment, he asked, "Mr. Pioneer, haven't Sakota and Sarkaz always had a grudge?"

"Yes, there is."

Xia Yuan nodded calmly and admitted that he did not distort history. "It's just that neither we nor the Sarkaz mercenaries will attack the elderly, the weak, the sick, or the civilians, let alone attack hospitals or detain minors. In the face of hatred, we are first of all human beings. Only when we are a 'human' are we qualified to have seven emotions and six desires. Death on the battlefield is a matter of course, and the Sarkaz mercenaries have their own dignity."

These words were righteous and awe-inspiring. Although they were in a different world of the game, Xia Yuan's words still gave the two players who had never experienced the invasion of war goosebumps.

Magic ZX continued to ponder and asked, "Mr. Pioneer, Pioneer is your code name, right? Who came up with this name for you?"

His attitude was still somewhat tactful and respectful. After all, this man was a high-level NPC. What if he angered him and was thrown out of the car? Now they were about to enter the wasteland, and he could only wait to die without supplies.

Xia Yuan smiled faintly, "One of my identities is a messenger for the Lateran Notary Office. My mission is to deliver important news between various cities and towns. For Lateran, for me, it means traveling to known and unknown areas. Venture through the wilderness, cross rivers, and cross mountains to find new resources, land or trade opportunities. The pioneers of Columbia once did the same thing."

"Of course, the Sakotas have another mission when they travel abroad, which is that we often come into contact with different cultures and ethnic groups, which promotes cultural exchange and integration. We learn about new religions, languages, technologies and cultural traditions, while also bringing our own culture to new territories."

“It represents courage, determination, adventure and a spirit of exploration.”

The radio is playing the Leitania song "Sogno di Volare". For players, this song is very familiar. It is still the theme song of Civilization 99.

A civilization needs pioneers who overcome difficulties, obstacles and natural disasters to achieve their goals.

Not only Magic ZX who asked this question, but also Egg Knife and Egg Tart showed some respect. Although he did not have this code name when he saw Xia Yuan last time, it is conceivable why he got this title.

Magic ZX was a little excited because he just heard a few key words, what is the Lateran Notary Office, what is a messenger, is it a new secondary profession?

He coughed softly and began to chat quietly with Dandao and Danta next to him using a messaging app.

"We got a lot of materials. Mr. Pioneer, are you planning to bring Qiu Muyu with you when you go to Casimir this time?"

"It's very likely, because Qiu Muyu also triggered the hidden plot of the pioneers, and she learned a long background story about the infected."

Magic ZX pondered as he typed, "Infected, maybe we can make a video on this topic."

Dandao Dantart suggested: "I think you can ask the pioneer in person. You have also triggered the hidden plot, and he should be able to answer you."

The journey on the pickup truck did not feel boring with one more person. Dandao and Danta even felt relieved. After all, in his impression, the pioneer Xia Yuan was not very talkative and looked a little cold. Now there was a UP host who could sing, dance and speak Chinese, and he would put on a show from time to time. So this journey was very interesting.

During the nearly one month in the wilderness, Magic ZX marveled at the wonders of nature. They avoided a sandstorm, the whole sky was dyed black, lightning roared in the distance, and the pickup truck was scratched by the sand. Magic ZX and Egg Knife and Egg Tart's faces turned pale. They thought they were doomed, but Xia Yuan stepped on the accelerator and rushed out.

Well, the intentional approach to the natural disaster was also to let Magic ZX record this horrible scene, so that no player would want to do something terrible in the short term, sitting on a plastic chair facing the storm, and shouting loudly "I am the incoming storm!"

In addition to the natural disasters that frightened the two players, Magic ZX also recorded the scenes of several settlements struggling in the wasteland, the stunning starry sky at night, and Xia Yuan's every move.

After finally getting close to Casimir, Magic ZX took a look at the records he had taken. Oh my god, is this a travel Vlog?

Xia Yuan's stop at Nore Town again made many players cry. They thought they had been forgotten by Xia Yuan. When the players saw Xia Yuan getting off the car to open the shop, his eyes were red and many female players' faces also turned red.

Xia Yuan saw Qiu Muyu among the people who came to consume. He blinked and seemed to recognize her. "Adventurer, I remember you. It seems that your strength has reached the standard. Do you mind being my temporary assistant?"

Qiu Muyu was surprised and happy, her heart was trembling. She had completed her mission [Pioneer and the Earth] long ago. Although she received a reward, she did not get any unexpected surprises... Unexpectedly, one day Xia Yuan drove a military pickup truck to invite her to form a temporary team.

The players on the side were so jealous. Now that Miss Qiu Muyu was gone, who would repair their equipment in the future?

That’s right, Qiu Muyu has already mastered one of the many ways to play the auxiliary system, repairing equipment. For players at this time, the durability of equipment is as important as life. If the durability is lost and the equipment is broken, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

"Shall we stay in Noel Town and wait for you, Mr. Pioneer?" Magic ZX asked politely in the tone of a broadcaster.

"No, you come with me into the city."

Xia Yuan smiled.

A gleam of brilliance flashed in Magic ZX's eyes. Entering the city, could it be the main city he imagined?

Dan Dao Dan Tart was so excited that he couldn't help but howl to the sky, I am the pioneer's dog!

Xia Yuan? Yuan Shen!

After a day of rest, there was one more person sitting in Xia Yuan's passenger seat, Qiu Muyu.

Qiu Muyu was stunned when she got in the car, because she found that there was only a water bottle on the passenger seat, and a seat belt was very considerately fastened to the seat, as if there was a fear that the bottle would fall to the ground.

Hey, it turns out Mr. Pioneer also has such an interesting hobby.

Qiu Muyu laughed. She picked up the water bottle, and just as she was about to sit down, the bottle in her hand suddenly slipped out of her hand and was caught by Xia Yuan.

"Be careful, the steps are a bit high from the ground." Xia Yuan put the water bottle into his shirt pocket and said to Qiu Muyu.

What a thoughtful man! Qiu Muyu took Xia Yuan's hand and fastened the seat belt. Dan Dao and Dan Tart behind him showed a proud smile. Yes, he is my big brother.

And Magic ZX naturally recorded all of this.

After getting in the car, the three of them began to introduce themselves. When Qiu Muyu learned that the player who had been recording the video in the back seat was Magic ZX, she was a little surprised. She smiled and said that she was a fan of Magic Teacher, which made Dandao Dantart a little jealous. He was considered a semi-professional and it would be great if he could have a girl who was his fan.

After getting in the car, Qiu Muyu whispered with Dandao Dantart and Magic ZX about their experiences in the past few days. Xia Yuan did not stop them when he saw this.

After all, these will be his "direct descendants" among the players in the future, so there's nothing wrong in building good relationships with them first.

"This...is this the main city?"

Egg Knife and Egg Tart leaned out and looked at the fortress-like building in front of him.

Xia Yuan shook his head. "Unfortunately, this is just a checkpoint. Before entering the mobile city, everyone must go through a security check and report at the checkpoint. If you are infected, you must go through a special channel. If you carry a weapon, you must also write an application report in advance."

He saw that the three players were looking at the cold weapons they were carrying and were a little panicked. He coughed and said, "Don't worry, you are currently my team mates. The document I reported is the application for team weapons."

The three of them finally relaxed. It would be funny if they couldn't even enter the city.

"There are so many people here. Is Casimir organizing any activities recently?" Qiu Muyu looked at the dense crowds of private cars in front of her. She felt a little discouraged. There were traffic jams in real life and in the game as well.

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "I thought you would hear the news in Noel Town. The triennial knight competition in Casimir will be held in the mobile city of Kavaleriyaki where we are heading. Speaking of Casimir, one must think of the long-standing knight culture. In modern times, the knight culture has evolved into a knight competition."

“Every time we hold a knight tournament, it’s always this scene.”

While chatting and arguing, Xia Yuan stopped the car at the checkpoint and handed over three documents.

"What is a Rhine Life shareholder? Messenger... Sorry, my eyesight was not good just now, and I didn't recognize the invitation letter from the Business Federation."

"fine."

The three players were not interrogated and they all breathed a sigh of relief after Xia Yuan passed the checkpoint. It's not like they did nothing just now. At least they threw a dozen scouts at the heads of the nearby guards, but they found that their levels were all question marks and they couldn't beat any of them.

Magic ZX was even more curious. Mr. Pioneer, a shareholder of Rhine Life, actually had a company? What was the Business Federation?

The voices of conversation gradually died down, because through the mist, they saw a vaguely visible city wall. The three of them stared at the huge city wall with dull eyes. It was just a wall, and it made them look as small as ants crawling on the ground.

The city walls were so thick that they seemed to have life. From time to time, the sound of steel colliding with machines could be heard. This city was much larger and more amazing than any main city the three had imagined!

"This is the mobile city." Xia Yuan stroked the water bottle and introduced it to the three people, "Welcome to Cavalleriaki."

Chapter 36: Asking for a one-click triple combo

This was the first time that the player had a glimpse of the entire main city. For a moment, he actually felt a little dry in the mouth. The magnificent feeling was indescribable, as if he had seen the wonders of the world.

"This... this is the main city?!"

Xia Yuan pretended not to hear the main city's words. He said, "The mobile city is the center of national power. The mobile city has a fixed patrol track and will avoid natural disasters in advance. We are very lucky that Cavaleliaki's stop this week is here, otherwise we would have to drive for about an hour."

"But before entering the city, you still have to pass a checkpoint."

This step was very similar to the previous one, except that this time the Kuranta guards standing at the door exchanged glances with each other after seeing the invitation letter from the Chamber of Commerce, and respectfully, even with a hint of flattery, welcomed Xia Yuan to Cavaleliaki.

"Since we are in Kavaleriyaki, the center of Casimir, why not follow the local customs and watch a knight competition?" Xia Yuan turned aside and distributed the tickets to the other three players. "I have things to do in the city. In the meantime, I will find a place for you to stay. If there is anything important, I will come to you."
