Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

This is also the reason why players cannot get high positions in NPC forces. Putting aside the reasons of trust or distrust, they are not always online. There will always be times when they are offline. If an accident happens when they are not there, who will be responsible?

"What if the Teresis and Teresia armies come to attack?"

Ursula predicted the worst-case scenario, that the two warring undead had turned enemies into friends, which was a blatant betrayal for both armies—the players had not withdrawn from their own camps, and their identities still bore the logos of the Theresis Army and Theresia Army.

"Then let them fight." Xia Yuan's smile made Ursula feel a little strange, and then the words he said made Ursula clench her hands tightly.

"If they attack the city that their own people, who don't want to fight, have worked so hard to build, then they are doomed."

Xia Yuan had a smile on his face. "I will take these hopeful Sarkaz away and rebuild the city on the new land... Let Kazdel be destroyed, because this is the Sarkaz's own choice."

"..."

Ursula wanted to retort, but she couldn't find the words to refute.

Xia Yuan smiled and nodded at her. "The salary has been advanced to your account. Although we will be in different places, I believe that we are striving for the same direction."

Ursula nodded slightly and said, "Thank you. I always feel like I owe you a lot of gratitude."

"Show it with your actions, Ursula."

Ursula gave Xia Yuan a mercenary salute. She hesitated for a moment, then gave Xia Yuan a military salute.

Deputy City Lord, Commander Ursula, here we go!

Chapter 55: Are your nine clans sold in wholesale?

The players all got the dungeon crystal.

Completing the construction task is not a difficult task for them. They can achieve the goal by spending a few days in the real world and unlock the copy crystal in the pioneer store.

Xia Yuan stayed in the camp for a few days, and then he and Jiansenomi got on a pickup truck.

He didn't expect that before he left, Ursula and many players came to see him off. Among them, Magic ZX was the most reluctant to let him go. He felt a little sad that the Pioneer didn't take him with him on this operation... But he had already thought about the next video, which was about the story in the Pioneer copy crystal, so he was not in a hurry.

Xia Yuan did not make any promises to Ursula. The mercenary had gained his trust in quite a short period of time. It would not matter if she invited mercenaries from Scar Market to enter the city in the future. Or perhaps this was exactly what Xia Yuan wanted to see.

As for popularity, Xia Yuan does not have to worry. Compared with his reclusive attitude, Ursula is always on the front line. When she has time during the day, she goes out to explore with the pioneer team composed of players. In the afternoon, she is responsible for the planning and construction of the camp. At night, she is responsible for the safety of the market.

If an NPC wants to be popular, it depends on her attitude towards players, as well as her own personality and character. Putting these factors aside, Ursula is also a young and beautiful girl. Although her body is wrapped in a mercenary uniform, it cannot completely conceal her beauty.

Xia Yuan felt relieved that the players were convinced by her and were willing to follow her orders.

After waving to Ursula and other players, Xia Yuan stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the location of Theresa's army on the map.

"Where...are we going?"

After a period of getting along, Senomi gradually regarded Jian as her closest person. She was no longer as afraid of her master Xia Yuan as she was at the beginning. She understood that her master bought her not to do the shameful things she heard in the slave market, but to train her in every possible way.

Senomi is full of gratitude towards her master. Although she is still a little afraid and doesn't dare to express her emotions, she has decided to practice well with Sister Mace and strive to repay her master as soon as possible.

If Xia Yuan knew what Senomi was thinking, he would only rub her little head and praise her a few more words.

After driving on the charred land for a few days, we naturally encountered scattered mercenary camps, which were also the Scar Market - the Scar Market has never simply referred to a camp, but is more like a small mercenary company.

Of course, he also encountered a lot of trouble. Since there was no military logo on his pickup truck and the driver was Sakota, he naturally attracted a lot of attention, and many mercenaries came to trouble him and collect protection fees.

In this situation, Jian got out of the car directly and knocked the mercenary to the ground in no time, then got back into the car under Senomi's starry eyes.

Xia Yuan did not continue to hire mercenaries to lead the way because he had already seen signs of Theresa's army.

The civil war in Kazdel is a civil war, and Xia Yuan, as a Sakota, wandering around the battlefield would attract some hatred, so he naturally did not act in a high-profile manner.

Xia Yuan got out of the car under the looks of several Theresa's military mercenaries. "I want to ask, where is the Tower of Babel?"

Several mercenaries were confused. What is Tower of Babel?

"How long have you been in Theresa's army?"

"In a few days."

"No wonder..."

Several mercenaries looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with this Sakota kid, ignoring the swords on their waists? Who gave him the courage?

Xia Yuan glanced at them and asked, "Do you think I pose a threat to you?"

"I am a messenger, delivering information from the land. I do not hate Kazdel as much as you think. If it is convenient for you, please introduce me to your superiors."

Jian was speechless when she saw her boss getting straight to the point in the negotiation, but she still came to Xia Yuan naturally and stood in front of him.

Mercenaries live a life of limpness. For them, they will take any opportunity to try as long as there is benefit. They will not even look at anything that has no benefit. Although they seem to be cold-hearted by nature, this is the life that mercenaries live.

From a racial perspective, they have an unresolvable hatred with Sakota. From their personal perspective, as a new generation, they have never been on the battlefield, let alone fighting Sakota. From the perspective of interests, they don't need to risk their lives for a job that pays nothing. How much is his head worth? Except that this equipment looks cool, it is worthless. Even if they get this equipment, it will probably be taken away by the superiors.

From a safety perspective...the aura of the Caprini woman standing in front of them was too strong. The pressure flashing in her golden eyes made several mercenaries feel frightened, and they didn't even think about fighting with this queen.

"Don't move around here. We'll go and notify the commander for you."

“You dare to talk to me like this, are all your nine clans wholesalers?”

Xia Yuan looked at the mace and asked, "Can you give him a punch later?"

"A normal punch or a serious punch?"

Senomi rolled down the window and heard the conversation between the two. He said carefully, as if he didn't want to anger Xia Yuan: "Well... they didn't say anything bad just now..."

"Senomi is so kind, so sweet and loving."

Xia Yuan praised with a smile, and Senomi buried her head shyly.

Jian smiled and passed by.

Not long after, several mercenaries followed a battlefield commander in military uniform to where they were staying. Obvious Originium particles could be seen on his rolled-up arms.

"What do a Sacotta and a Caprini want to do on the battlefield?" he asked in a deep voice. "Judging from your numbers, you are no match for our army. One person cannot fight against a large army."

He deliberately glanced at the mace standing in front of Xia Yuan, and then moved his gaze to Xia Yuan, "Sakota, why did you come to our battlefield?"

"I'm going to the Tower of Babel once." Xia Yuan said seriously. He took out a letter from his arms. "I'm a messenger. My mission is to convey information. When I received this mission, the recipient had already joined the Tower of Babel of Theresa's army."

"..."

The officer narrowed his eyes. "Do all couriers nowadays drive military pickup trucks with bodyguards?"

"Because the mission destination is Kazdel, and I don't have any combat abilities, I can only find a bodyguard."

Xia Yuan's words choked back the commander's previous words. His expression was cold and cold. "Okay, but you need to act under the surveillance of our army. If you make any unusual movements, you will be killed by our army. I will assign a small team for you, and they will 'escort' you to the Tower of Babel."

"Thank you."

As if seeing Sakota was unlucky, he spat on the ground and left angrily.

Xia Yuan didn't say anything. He had always been thick-skinned. Besides, what would hitting him do? A momentary sense of relief could not solve the problem for him.

Soon they saw the so-called "escort" convoy, which consisted of several trucks used to transport supplies. Many mercenaries were sitting on them, staring at them eagerly.

This type of truck is specially used to transport supplies and carry out round-trip transportation tasks. Xia Yuan is not surprised by this. He returned to the truck and started the engine after finishing his work.

Xia Yuan's car was sandwiched between the trucks. Mace looked at him from the passenger seat and said, "There's no courier mission, right?"

"Well, this is just one reason. I can give another reason." Xia Yuan leaned back in the chair and hummed a song. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Means are means, achieving the goal is the most important thing."

"Of course, I won't use those despicable means."

Mace hummed, "Because you are not that kind of person."

The front line was still a long way from the supply station, and at night the mercenaries took turns keeping watch by the campfire, while Xia Yuan, Jian and Senomi were self-sufficient. He noticed the mercenaries' gazes, which showed hatred, disgust, curiosity, and calmness, and he did not try to get close to them.

The speech was empty and boring from beginning to end. The poor people were not interested in what the dignitaries said, they just felt it was noisy and harsh. They would thank the dignitaries for the food and water they gave them, because it gave them the life to survive.

The lives of the Sarkaz mercenaries today are no different from those of the poor people. They are like hyenas in the wilderness and will help whoever gives them the most.

Both words and actual actions are indispensable.

This is why he is curious about Theresa. Is she sure that her way can lead the Sarkaz to glory again? Why can she attract so many mercenaries to serve her, and even the mercenaries in the Theresa Army have long been fascinated by her?

In addition, he was also very curious about the organization Tower of Babel.

When he saw the consultation about Babel Tower in his previous life, Babel Tower had already disappeared from the land of Kazdel. In his previous life, when Babel Tower was in the civil war, Xia Yuan was still playing in the mud, and players were not qualified to participate in the construction of Babel Tower. When they came to their senses, the civil war had ended at some point, Babel Tower was gone, and Theresa was gone too.

Of course, he had another purpose for this trip.

Kal'tsit! I hate that you're as cold as a log!

If Xia Yuan's favorability value doesn't increase as a player, then he will always move when he is an NPC, right? Xia Yuan said he was very curious.

After driving on the dirt road for another ten days, Xia Yuan finally saw the smoke from cooking in the distance.

There are no mobile cities or so-called mobile villages in Kazdel. What Xia Yuan sees is a small town similar to the ones built by players. However, most of the buildings are simple wooden structures, which are easy to dismantle and rebuild. However, it is a bit of a problem in winter.

It is already September or October in Terra, and the weather is getting colder day by day. Mercenaries must save their energy if they want to survive the cold winter.

Xia Yuanhejian got out of the car. He only had two revolvers in front of his legs and two automatic pistols on his waist.

The mercenaries in the camp looked at the outsider curiously when they saw it was Sakota. After realizing it was Sakota, some of them rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had seen it wrong.

Xia Yuan stood aside with a harmless look, teasing Senomi and talking to her. This made some mercenaries let down their guard, while others stared at him intently.

He has become immune to these sights.

Xia Yuan waited there for a while, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the entrance of the camp.

At this point in time, Babel Tower did not yet have the mobile ship "Rhode Island" that could move on the land. Now their headquarters was still a building made of wood and stone. At the entrance of the camp, he could see the Babel Tower flag erected in the distance.

There were several mercenaries standing in front of the camp gate. They seemed to have communicated with the mercenaries who were monitoring Xia Yuan and others before, and their eyes were slightly suspicious. A tall mercenary was talking to them something at the entrance.

"Are you a messenger from Lateran?"

The tall mercenary turned around. He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and holding a shield, looking very strong.

Xia Yuan looked at him twice and did a reconnaissance.

【ACE Lv90】

It was actually ACE. Xia Yuan opened his eyes wide. He had some impression of this person. When he joined Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals in his previous life, he had not experienced the early wars, and his understanding of ACE was limited to the cold text in the mobile terminal.

[The team, including ACE, has 13 members in total. The team members are: Bad Tom, Kerger, Hard Brick, Wooden Spoon, Seventeen, Copper Nose, Green Bean, Yinyin, Secret Words, Sand Wash, Purple Flame, and Caries. All of them have been killed.] - This is the text record he read at that time.

The only impression ACE gave Xia Yuan was words.

"Hello, my code name is Pioneer. I am a messenger and a businessman. I came to the Tower of Babel to deliver a message."

"...Hello, my code name is ACE, welcome to the Tower of Babel."

ACE answered in a proper manner. He shook hands with Xia Yuan and said, "As the messenger, I will be responsible for your safety during the activities at the Tower of Babel."

He glanced at the mace standing next to Xia Yuan. This woman exuded a natural warrior aura just by standing there. He wondered in his heart...what chances would he have of winning if he fought against this female bodyguard.

Xia Yuan felt a mountain-like weight from ACE's body. His level was 90, and his physical strength and combat experience were enough to knock him to the ground with one hand!

Such a big brother became his bodyguard and was responsible for his personal safety... It didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it. After all, he was of the Sakota race, and there were Sarkaz everywhere here, so his personal safety was obviously a problem.

"I have heard a little about the Tower of Babel. Seeing is believing. It is my honor to be able to enter the Tower of Babel as a messenger."

Nice words are free, you can say as much as you want, these few words are so polite that no one can find fault with them, there is no flattery in them, and they do not lower the status of the messenger.

With ACE in front and mace behind, there may not be such a safe bodyguard lineup in the entire land of Terra.

As we walked through the gate, we were greeted by operators wearing uniform mercenary uniforms with the Tower of Babel logo on their shoulders.

"ACE, your physical examination report is here. I hope that next time you can be aware of your own physical limits instead of recklessly charging forward with your teammates."

A cold and indifferent female voice sounded, and Xia Yuan looked in the direction where the voice came from.

The visitor was the first NPC whose photo was revealed on the official website of "Ark". She had a calm expression, and no emotion could be seen in her green, gem-like, clear eyes. She just glanced at Xia Yuan lightly, as if it was a glance that lasted for a thousand years.

It is the cute and coquettish cat in players’ first impression, Kal’tsit!

Chapter 10 Eagle Language Lv

"Lord Kelsey."

ACE scratched his head and revealed the identity of the visitor. He took the report with a wry smile on his face, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Uh... I understand."

ACE's race is not Sarkaz. He does not have the double horns on his head that symbolize Sarkaz. From the tail behind him, it is not difficult to guess that his race is Phidia, which is the so-called snake.

Xia Yuan knew that there were many operators of different races in the Tower of Babel. After all, it was the predecessor of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals... Just now when he was indoors, he also saw many mercenaries of other races. They didn't seem to care about their so-called race and could communicate with the Sarkaz. There was no discrimination at all.
