Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Muerseth was stunned and picked up the homework written by Senomi and Mandela. "Is this the homework of Originium Arts?"

"Well, I don't know Originium techniques... I'll have to trouble you."

"Hehe, you look a bit like your brother." Muirseth sat on the sofa in the living room, "Go change your clothes first, I'll check your homework... By the way, I want to see you wearing that Yan Country summer outfit."

Xia Yuan left in confusion. Muirseth smiled slightly and then began to look at the homework of Senomi and Mandela.

Senomi's homework was more about history, and there were also some math problems that required some thinking. Mandela's homework was more about Originium, and she had three homework assignments related to Originium craft alone.

Muirseth and Senomimandra had a good relationship, so she naturally knew their learning progress. She did not correct them with a red pen. After seeing the mistakes, she wrote the best solution next to them and left an emoticon at the end.

(●′ω`●)

Xia Yuan quickly changed his clothes. He found that he seemed to have grown a little taller during this period, but not as exaggerated as before, otherwise he would really doubt that he was the original body. His figure was also much more symmetrical than before, which was also the result of hard training.

Muirseth admitted that she was impressed by Xia Yuan's handsomeness when he returned to the living room. His light gray hair looked good with both black and white clothes. If Xia Yuan had a long sword on his waist, Muirseth might think he was an official of Yan Country.

Xia Yuan just wants to carry a katana. Even though you look very embarrassed every time you do the cat-cart, but you look very beautiful when you do the dragon-slashing.

Apart from the Ace of Spades and Dawn on his waist, he carried nothing else... At least there are no free gunfights every day in Colombia, but one still has to protect the personal safety of himself and his companions when outside.

"Let's go."

"Ah."

The streets of Tremont have not changed much compared to before. In a mobile city, changes in the environment and architecture are rare. The only things that have changed are the people who stay in the mobile city. However, Xia Yuan noticed that many new companies have opened on both sides of the main road, and they all seem to be technology companies.

"The military should be smiling now," Xia Yuan commented. "You know, the most troublesome thing is the military's orders. Being watched by the military has both advantages and disadvantages. The good thing is that the military is very generous in some ways and gives a lot, but being watched by the military doesn't feel good. Rhine Life has been under a lot of military surveillance before."

"At that time, Rhine Life was still developing." Muerseth and Xia Yuan walked side by side. She looked upward with her side profile. "In fact, there are military and Melander Foundation involvement in all the technology companies, big and small, in Columbia."

"Hmm... I guess it won't be long before the military's new generation of power armor is released."

Xia Yuan echoed, "With so many technology companies conducting research and development, although the upper echelons of the scientific community are still a mess, in recent years, many scientific research enterprises and companies have blossomed with new vitality, which is also a good thing for the scientific community in Columbia and Terra."

Muerseth smiled and pulled Xia Yuan's arm. "Okay, we're all out here to have fun. Let's stop talking about such a boring thing. Let's go find something to eat. We're all hungry."

Xia Yuan did not refuse. Muirseth took him into a restaurant. He still owed Muirseth a lot of meals.

During the meal, Muirseth kept chatting with Xia Yuan, whether they were talking about happy things or troublesome things. Xia Yuan introduced the interesting things that happened when Muirseth was away, and Muirseth also shared Rhine Life and her recent research reports with Xia Yuan.

After talking about work, she quickly changed the subject and started talking about the recent popular movies in Colombia.

Xia Yuan understood the elegant meaning of the song and suggested going to the movies together after lunch. Muirseth's mouth curled up when he heard it.

After Xia Yuan paid the bill, the two came to the cinema. The movie that was recently released in Columbia was called "The Treasure of the Overworld". It was an old movie, but the director revived it for everyone to enjoy. The old movie was a story about a guardian, and it was also a very popular movie at the time.

"In the old version of the movie, Yara was the heroine." Muirseth's eyes sparkled, and he chuckled softly at the gossip, "Before, the director wanted to invite Yara to make a comeback, and she was lying in ambush in front of the Rhine Life Gate all day long, no different from a suitor."

"But in the end Yara refused, after all, she has left the circle... Although I think it's okay for Yara to play the leading female role in this movie."

Although Muirseth brought Xia Yuan to see the movie, he still queued up to pay for the ticket for two people.

Although Xia Yuan is rich, he can't spend it like this. Muirseth also doesn't want Xia Yuan to pay for their entire trip...even though he has given him so many beautiful clothes.

“I heard this movie is very good.”

"Well, I remember watching it when I was a kid. It was still in black and white then."

“It is indeed an unforgettable memory.”

The familiar conversation made Muirseth's body stiffen. She quickly pulled Xia Yuan over and hid in his arms. She looked behind her through the gap in his arms, and her eyes suddenly went dark.

Why...why are Kristen and Saria in their research uniforms here!

This rare opportunity for slacking off was discovered by Kristen and Saria. Wow, is the poor elf going to have his salary deducted?

Muirseth's eyes were filled with tears and he dared not move.

"Xia Yuan?"

As luck would have it, Xia Yuan's golden halo and wings were the most conspicuous symbols, which naturally attracted the attention of Christen and Saria.

"Good afternoon. I'm glad to see you enjoying this rare holiday." Xia Yuan smiled slightly. The two of them looked like they had just finished lunch.

Christen smiled slightly, and Saria nodded, "Same to you...Xia Yuan, are you here to watch the movie alone?"

"Do not--"

"Wow wow wow!"

Muerseth covered his mouth and didn't say anything, and pressed his whole body on Xia Yuan.

"..."

"..."

Kristen and Saria's eyes were fixed on Muleses, and Muleses immediately pretended not to know them and whistled.

"Muir Seth..."

Christen spoke softly, and Muerseth broke out in a cold sweat. Was the poor elf going to have his salary deducted?

"Are you interested in this movie too?"

"Eh?"

She made a disconnected sound and found that Kristen and Saria's expressions were the same as usual, but there seemed to be something different in them.

She had seen such an expression before... It was when her mentor first brought her to meet Kristen and Saria. At that time, she met Kristen, who was as innocent as a girl, and Saria, who could smile. Like Muirseth, they were the youngest students in the university - all were talented skippers.

It is unknown when, the expressions on the two people's faces became more and more indifferent. After the establishment of Rhine Life, Christen sat in the office all day reviewing documents, and his facial expression became more and more indifferent. Saria was responsible for the safety of Rhine Life. When the researchers tried experiments, she would always be there to maintain safety, and she rarely smiled.

Now Christen had a faint smile with the expectation of a young girl, and Saria also looked at her with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, which made Muerseth feel a little sour in his nose.

"Uuuuuu——"

Muerseth rushed over with tears in his eyes and hugged Kristen and Saria tightly, "You're back, you're all back."

"What are you talking about? It's so confusing." Christen laughed as if she had been tickled. Saria looked helpless, but it was difficult for her to refuse Muerseth's hug. She seemed to think that pushing her away was too cruel, so she just patted her shoulder.

Xia Yuan burst out laughing when he saw this. He knew that the three of them had a very good relationship. They were classmates in college and started their own businesses after graduation. They have been able to come all the way to where they are now, and their relationship should not be questioned by others.

It took Muirseth a long time to release her arms. She asked with a smile, "So why are you guys out to play?"

Christen hummed, "I heard from Xia Yuan that science is inseparable from society and people. I think the researchers of Rhine Life should spend a day or two walking outside... Is that right, Xia Yuan?"

"I prefer to describe this behavior as being in touch with the ground." Xia Yuan nodded in agreement, "No matter what job you do, you can't be out of touch with society, especially for a profession like scientists. It's not a good thing for researchers to be immersed in the small world of the laboratory all day long."

“So I plan to set every Sunday as a day of rest for Rhine Life Science. On this day, the researchers will put down their work and go out to collect materials for the first time in a long time.” Christen concluded.

Muerseth raised his hands to celebrate, "Great! I like Kristen and Xia Yuan the most!"

After laughing, Christen looked at the two people's clothes curiously, "Muerseth, Xia Yuan, are the clothes you are wearing from Yan Country?"

Muirseth put his hands behind his back, pinching his left wrist with his right hand, "...well, yes, Xia Yuan bought it for me when she was on a mission in Yan Country."

Saria made her own comment, "The fabric is nice and it looks good together."

"Do they...match?" Muerseth was a little flustered, but she quickly came to her senses and fought back, "Christen Saria, your research uniforms also match well."

Kristen laughed, and Saria smiled. The latter's gaze lingered on Xia Yuan's face. Xia Yuan noticed her gaze and looked at Saria.

The latter blinked slowly, with warmth in his eyes, as if expressing gratitude.

Xia Yuan responded with a smile.

She doesn't show her emotions most of the time. Instead of speaking verbally or expressing her emotions, Saria chooses to use her strength to achieve her goals... This is what her father taught her.

Do you cry when your toy is broken by your classmates? Can you fix it yourself? Do you want to hug other happy families when you see them? No.

The educational environment at that time made Saria what she is today. It is difficult to ask her to change her lifestyle.

This is also the reason why Xia Yuan personally educated Senomi and Mandela. He wanted them to become girls he could trust in the future.

The group bought four tickets, two seats in the front and back rows. Xia Yuan and Muirseth sat in the front row, while Kristen and Saria sat in the back row. As the cinema gradually darkened, Xia Yuan enjoyed his holiday.

As a player, I didn't pay much attention to these things. When I was a player in my previous life, players had passed on by word of mouth the action blockbusters of Colombia, the beautiful operas of Syracuse, and the martial arts films of Yan Country. They were all on the must-see list recommended by players.

In his previous life, Xia Yuan didn't have the patience to truly live in this world. After reincarnated as an NPC, he found the land of Terra to be indeed full of suffering, and finding joy in suffering is also an advantage.

After the movie ended, Xia Yuan and Muirseth left the cinema while discussing their views on the movie. They said goodbye to Kristen Saria and the others here. They were going to browse the latest technology products on the shelves, and they were going a different way from Xia Yuan and the others.

Muerseth brought Xia Yuan to a street of shops, where there were not only the sundries and handicrafts that Muerseth liked, but also many creations of Thor Industries that matched the interests of both of them... Muerseth had already prepared a strategy before coming, or rather, Muerseth had already planned today's itinerary in his mind.

In addition to Plan A, she also has Plan BCD and so on. After all, Xia Yuanzhi has been back for a few days, and even a water clone cannot be by his side all the time.

Chapter 93: Contact from the Foundation

It was the first time for the players in the strategy group to step into such a huge city as Tremont, and Magic ZX, Egg Knife Egg Tart and Qiu Muyu felt it even more deeply. They had seen the commercialized high-rise buildings in Casimir, the streets and alleys filled with commercial advertisements with blurry neon lights, and the knights who walked on the streets with their heads held high and fully armed.

Here they felt the charm of the bourgeoisie. The scenery on the main road was full of light tones and inorganic colors. Some men and women in white research suits were hurrying with folders and briefcases, while the residential area was full of hip-hop culture and street graffiti. Several players even saw many young people playing skateboards and roller skates in the small square. They had avant-garde hairstyles and tattoos on their bodies.

Maybe this is the culture between different countries and regions. Magic ZX and Yang Yan XF introduced the scenery they had seen in Casimir. As players, it is really a lucky thing to be able to see different cultures in the game world... They have begun to look forward to the scenes inside the mobile cities of other countries.

If Letania uses the Golden Law to explain what is a phenomenon, with a theocratic character, then Columbia is the complete opposite of Letania, focusing on technology and material in all aspects, which all players can feel.

A few people walked around the store and looked at the equipment sold there. They found that most of them were instruments for scientific research. At the same time, they found a sub-profession called Scientist - it seemed that there was an extra bonus when exploring secret realms. However, in order to unlock this sub-profession, in addition to the profession book, you also need to graduate from university and obtain a university diploma.

The players' original curiosity was immediately subsided. Niu Mo went to college for four years in real life, so he has to go to college for four years in the game life as well, right?

They saw the Pathfinder sold to them by the Pioneer in the store, but the price was several times more expensive than what they were selling it to.

"Wow, this is such a bummer... Pioneer giegie is the best to us."

"The pioneers are selling weapons at a low price. Do these people think we are despicable foreigners and want to kill us?"

"Colombian fashion is beautiful, but it's a pity that I'm not a woman, otherwise I would buy it."

The female players Qiu Muyu and Xiao Xiaoxuegao in the team did buy clothes. They were considered players who didn't care much about strength in the team. While other players were saving money to buy equipment, the two female players spent money as they pleased.

Magic ZX and Yang Yan XF were very curious about everything and always kept the recording mode on. As players who asked everyone they met, they soon received many small tasks, and the rewards were much higher than before.

The players were happily completing their tasks, and they were not too worried about the pioneer Giegie. After all, this NPC would tell them if he was leaving, so they should just complete their tasks during this free time.

In the alley, many eyes were watching their every move.

......

For several days, Xia Yuan was on vacation with Muerseth. Sometimes they spent time in the workshop, and more time going out to eat, watch movies and go shopping together. This made up for Muerseth's regret that he could not use his water clone to travel with Xia Yuan anytime and anywhere. However, judging from her appearance, it seemed that she would continue to use her water clone to follow Xia Yuan after he left Columbia.

Xia Yuan naturally did not enjoy the past few days in a carefree state. He collected all the materials and successfully bought high-end chips that were in short supply in the regular market on the black market in Colombia. These chips were the core needed to make the ghosts. Besides, the materials for the Lumen Pistol had been almost collected, so he could start working anytime and anywhere.

By the time the Lumen pistol is made, my gunsmith profession should be able to be upgraded to the fourth level.

Xia Yuan's main professional auxiliary has not been changed. He didn't want to change it before, because in the early stage he was more of a businessman and production NPC walking on this land, but with the gradual development of 2.0,3.0 and , he had to upgrade his main profession.

Moreover, there is an ancient weapon in his inventory... It seems that the original owner of this weapon is the Witch King himself. If it is used well, this weapon will become Xia Yuan's trump card.

However, repairing this ancient-grade weapon is too difficult. Xia Yuan needs too many materials. If he wants to collect them all and maximize the durability of this ancient-grade weapon, it will cost at least tens of millions, which Xia Yuan can't afford at all now.

He placed orders from Thor Industries and the black market for a batch of metal raw materials, which he could use to manufacture lumens after polishing and processing.

This Guardian Gun...must be the best.

This is a B-level task. Do you understand how valuable a B-level task is?

He said goodbye to the mini Muirseth that was jumping around beside him. He naturally couldn't bring Muirseth with him on this trip to the black market. After putting on his mechanical equipment, Xia Yuan went out with a gun.

After receiving the package from Thor Industries, Xia Yuan went back to the company and then headed to the downtown area again, which is also the entrance to the black market.

Colombia does not discriminate against infected people too much, but the infected people can only live in their fixed neighborhoods, which can be considered a form of discrimination.

Xia Yuan walked into a small alley and suddenly a child appeared in front of him, blocking his way. He stopped and looked behind him, and found that a child had also appeared behind him at some point.

The kid wanted to rob in broad daylight? Xia Yuan didn't even think about this possibility. Regardless of the fact that he was much older than them, just based on his race, how could these kids dare to attack a member of the Sakota race?

"What message do you want to convey?"

Xia Yuan asked. He frowned slightly at the other party's way of doing things, but he guessed in his heart which organization this style belonged to.

"Brother Xia Yuan, this is for you."

The little boy in front walked forward with a polite smile, handed Xia Yuan a small note, then smiled and waved at Xia Yuan and ran towards another child.

"Hey."

Xia Yuan stopped the child and flicked a Colombian gold coin to him, "Use it to buy some food."

"Thank you!" The two children left happily.
