Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Dosores has a well-developed tourism industry, with almost half of the city filled with hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. Players scattered and drove in different directions. For them, this was like a journey to open a new map. You know, this was a moving city. They had only seen it in Magic ZX and Yang Yan XF's guides before, and this was their first time coming here in person.

This was a great experience for them, and after they successfully bargained with the owner NPC to settle in the hotel, they quickly wandered around the streets, hoping to learn more about the history of Bolivar and Dos Solès, and it would be even better if they could receive a mission.

Some players immediately turned into criminals, trying to lower their moral standards in the slums, starting to steal things, breaking into NPC houses to open treasure chests for gold coins, and attracting arrest by the police.

The players quickly integrated into the hot atmosphere. Some players changed their equipment after a long time and put on summer clothes sold in stores or prepared in advance. Male players put on summer shirts, revealing their muscular bodies and beach shorts on the lower body, while female players wore different kinds of swimsuits and shawls that were dazzling.

The first online love came earlier than Xia Yuan had expected. Xia Yuan remembered it quite clearly in his previous life. It was after players were able to enter the mobile city in the early 2.0 era. Players were able to buy fashionable clothes from stores. At that time, any task they took would cost thousands or tens of thousands of Longmen coins. As the saying goes, when you are well fed and warm, you will think about sex. At this time, online love began to appear.

It first starts with men and women who make their own faces wearing fashionable clothes and holding hands while shopping on the street, then it gradually evolves into a romantic relationship, and finally they can choose to get married.

Marriage is not a system-restricted thing. Players can go directly to the NPC registration office to apply for a marriage certificate. Then the two registered players will be husband and wife. It is very simple and quick. It does not add any bonus to attributes, but is more of a symbolic meaning, which is exactly the same as a ring.

The first online romance took place vigorously in this hot summer. Male and female players put on summer casual clothes and became more active. Some bold male players began to invite female players to go shopping and eat together, and the female players would also look at their faces and rarely refuse - it can be said that this wave was a victory for the face-pinching party.

However, there are still players who scan handsome or beautiful faces. Some players who are friends in real life will also use this relationship to take the next step.

Of course, this link is very disadvantageous for socially anxious players and lone players. They will spend more time taking on some story missions in Dosores, exploring the area around their residence and obtaining one to five police stars.

Although these 150,000 people were like a stone sinking into the sea, how many more tourists from other countries came? Soon, the players began to negotiate with NPCs from other countries, some began to commit crimes and steal, and some directly pulled an NPC out of the car on the street, closed the door and stepped on the engine in one go, performing the Ark to give him love.

Xia Yuan didn't know that he had become the matchmaker and criminal mastermind this time. He drove a pickup truck to the largest hotel in the center of Dos Solès, looking very arrogant. Well, being rich means being willful, but there was no sign of a nouveau riche in him.

It is not uncommon for rich people to go on vacation in pickup trucks. After all, the journey is long, and you can't drive a stretched Lincoln across the wilderness, right? The engine of the car will be completely destroyed by the dust.

Xia Yuan handed the pickup truck key to the waiter Pero who greeted him, and handed him two Columbia gold coupons, "Please wash the car, thank you."

Waiter Pero took the gold voucher with both hands and happily drove away in the pickup truck with sand all over the body. Xia Yuan led the group into the magnificent lobby and began to book a room.

With so many people, Xia Yuan directly booked a presidential suite. Senomi, Mandela and Susie could sleep in one room, and Jian, Kanelian, Muerseth and himself could sleep in another room. In addition, food and drink were free during their stay in the hotel, and there were special cars to pick them up and even a private luxury yacht on the sea.

I can only say that these services are indeed worthy of the price of the presidential suite.

Having fun during the trip is more important than anything else, so Xia Yuan naturally did not save money. Several waiters pulled their luggage and took the elevator all the way up to the top floor.

"Wow...so pretty."

The moment they opened the door, they were greeted by a living room that was as big as a small movie theater. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was a vast artificial sea, and in the distance were the large and small buildings of Dossolez.

Senomi, Mandela and Susie came to the window and made foolish exclamations.

As for the allocation of bedrooms, there was no problem. After all, there were enough of them. Xia Yuan brought his luggage to the master bedroom, opened the door to the balcony, and smelled the sea breeze.

In his previous life, he came to Dosoles as a businessman in the summer to participate in summer activities. He couldn’t remember which year it was, but Xia Yuan was impressed that there were indeed a lot of players, and his products were bought out by players in just a few days.

No matter how much violence and crime there is in the downtown area of ​​Dosores, and how many powerful forces it contains, these things will not happen in the wealthy area of ​​Dosores. What's more, Xia Yuan has Mace as his bodyguard. After thinking for a while, he only carried guns with him.

The scenery at the seaside is intoxicating. Two little girls, Senomi and Mandela, are running in front with smiles on their faces. Susie holds Xia Yuan's hand and looks around curiously.

"Be careful, don't run too fast~" Muirseth said, putting her hand to her mouth. She was holding a parasol and seemed to be quite satisfied with the environment here, enjoying the sunshine to her heart's content.

"I know~"

Hearing the children's response, Xia Yuan smiled and said, "The Ironman Grand Prix event announcement can be seen everywhere. Are you interested in participating?"

"What's the prize?" Kanelian asked. She felt that she should change into casual clothes. She obviously underestimated Dosores's sun.

"The winner will enjoy a luxurious dinner and generous prizes provided by the mayor himself, and will also have the honor of pressing the switch to change the water gate for the city." Xia Yuan read the tourist brochure he had just received from the entrance of the hotel, "...I feel like these prizes don't give me much motivation."

"Because you are not short of money, boss." Mace smiled, "Our idea of ​​a generous prize is probably a pile of Colombian gold tickets."

"So you're not interested?"

"There must be an official competition like this..." Mace didn't continue. She looked around and said, "The atmosphere here is a bit like that of the Great Knight Territory."

Xia Yuan was a little surprised. He had experienced something in his previous life and knew that this so-called Dos Solès Ironman Grand Prix did have some shady dealings. Although it was a sports event on the surface, "black eating black" situations often occurred in the undercurrent.

In the previous life, players were robbed by teams composed of NPCs, some of which were teams sent by Mayor Dosoles. They were really shameless.

However, it doesn't seem so surprising that Jian could see it. After all, she has been in the Great Knight's Army of Casimir for so many years, so she naturally understands the set of methods that never change. In a competition like this that has no limit on participants and no hard indicators for the participating teams, there will naturally be a lot of dirt.

Xia Yuan noticed that there was a thin layer of sweat on Jian's face, and Kanelian was fanning himself with a tourist brochure. He glanced at their clothes and immediately understood that Jian was still wearing the military uniform he had given him. Although it was well ventilated, it obviously couldn't withstand the scorching sun, and Kanelian was still wearing the travel windbreaker. It would be strange if he wasn't heated to death.

He nodded, and glanced at Mace and Kanelian, "Are you two really not going to consider buying some clothes?"

Mace said nothing, and Kanelian was the first to admit defeat, "Ah, I didn't expect it to be so hot on holidays in Dosores... Where is the nearest clothing store?"

The group of people who were originally walking on the beach turned a corner and came to a nearby shopping street. Xia Yuan and Muirseth were waiting outside the store with the three little ones, while Jian and Kanelian walked into the women's clothing store.

"Ah... I feel embarrassed that I have to rely on Brother Xia Yuan to pay for everything all the time."

Carnellian was a little annoyed. She was choosing clothes back and forth in front of the clothes rack with her short white curly hair. Thinking of the activity funds Xia Yuan gave her on the road, Carnellian felt a little guilty - before, she mostly slept in the open when traveling, but it was different since she met Xia Yuan. He brought Carnellian into the world of rich people. Not to mention the three meals a day, just the money given every time... she had the illusion that she was being supported by Xia Yuan.

"Sister Jian, don't you want to talk about your boss?" Kanelian came to Jian's side and said.

Mace smiled faintly and shook his head, "The boss naturally has his own ideas. Kanelian, I am very curious, will you continue to travel in the future?"

"...meeting."

Kanelian was in a complicated mood. She was not a fool. From this small group, she could see that they were all traveling around Xia Yuan, while in her previous life she was more like a lone wolf, traveling in this land, and then in the future she would return to Sargon with what she had learned and pass on the knowledge and power to her tribe.

Sargon's ancient tribe had done this for generations.

"Do you think you can see more things next to Xia Yuan?" Mace said calmly, his golden eyes looking at Kanelian's red eyes, "Do you think the technology that the boss has mastered can change the way people live?"

"...able."

Kanelian nodded calmly. Ever since she knew that the drone was developed by Xia Yuan, she had been full of curiosity and admiration for this brother who was two years younger than her. It was like a bottomless mystery. When he said he had a company in Colombia, Kanelian thought that Xia Yuan was bragging, but was then severely slapped in the face.

Of course, Xia Yuan never made fun of her for this... During her stay in Tremont, she spoke less and saw more, feeling this city wrapped in technology and petty-bourgeois sentiment, hoping to learn something from it that she could take back with her.

But she found that she could learn more from Xia Yuan, and he was always worthy of her and their expectations.

"Since you feel you owe the boss, why not just become his helper?" Jian's tone remained calm. "The boss is walking on this land of suffering, so naturally he wants to make a career. By following him, you can see and learn more."

Kanelian pondered for a moment. She was not the kind of person who would drag her feet, or in other words, once she had an idea in her mind, her body would naturally act. Anyway, she had been with brother Xia Yuan for a few months, and she was familiar with his personality and hobbies. The most important thing was that she had a good relationship with the three little ones. Sister Jian had a cheerful personality, which Kanelian liked very much. It was perfect for her to be a colleague. After all, before working, you have to see the working atmosphere, right?

"can."

"readily."

Jian hummed and continued to choose summer clothes as if this conversation had never taken place.

After a while, the two changed into new summer clothes and left the clothing store. Jian was wearing a white dress with light gray patterns. She still had a long sword on her waist. Her long golden hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, with a slightly warm glow. The white dress fit her slender figure tightly, and the soft fabric fluttered in the breeze, as if dancing with her sword. The hem of the skirt spread out gracefully, highlighting her waist and slender legs.

Kanelian wore a sexy and fashionable black belly-baring T-shirt on her upper body. The short design showed off her healthy brown skin, her slender waist and charming curves, adding a sexy charm to the overall look. The matching lower body was a pair of casual khaki shorts, showing off her slender long legs. The combination of khaki and black was both low-key and fashionable.

After the two girls came out of the clothing store, they immediately attracted the attention of many wealthy men and women on the street. Some of the women tightly held the hands of the men beside them, and some looked at them unkindly. The men looked at Xia Yuan with envy. The two Caprinis, one black and one white, had graceful figures. The men of the Sacotta race were really lucky.

Xia Yuan didn't pay attention to the gazes. He was very satisfied with the clothes of the two people here. That's right, he had to change his clothes, just like changing clothes and buying skins for his wife in the card-drawing game on his mobile phone. After all, he would get tired of the same set of clothes after looking at it for a long time, and he would not get tired of it until he changed clothes.

Giving the two of them a thumbs up, Xia Yuan commented, "You have good taste."

Senomi and Mandela stepped forward and held the two's hands. Mace and Kanelian smiled, held their hands and continued shopping.

As the clouds in the sky turned into a fiery sunset, Xia Yuan leaned on the railing, while Senomi, Mandela and Susie jumped and played on the beach in their sandals, while Jian and Kanelian watched over their safety.

He patted the railing and sighed, "If I build a mobile city in the future, I would like to build an artificial lake and improve the ecological environment."

"An artificial sea like the one in Dosores?" Muirseth rolled his eyes. "Xia Yuan, building a mobile city is very difficult. Let's not talk about which country you build it in... There is a high probability that they will not recognize you, and it will take a lot of time to build..."

"It's just a small goal." Xia Yuan smiled. At present, it is more reliable to build a mobile base than to build a mobile city from scratch. He looked at Muirseth and found that she had been looking at his profile.

“Let’s fill the entire city with green then.”

"...Yeah, it's settled~"

Chapter 100: The Bartender's Daughter

Speaking of bases, Xia Yuan still thought of the "Rhode Island" that Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals could travel on land, but the prototype of that land ship was built on the skeleton of a large creature. In addition to Rhode Island Pharmaceuticals owning a land ship, it is said that the headquarters of Black Steel International also has a land ship that travels on the land.

Perhaps the only difference is that this land cruiser of Black Steel International was built from scratch.

A city cannot be built in a day. Building a mobile base is a difficult problem for Xia Yuan. Even if he works faster, he cannot build a land ship in a few months. If he wants to buy one... there is really a price but no demand on the market. Even Thor Industries, which has a significant market in this area, does not produce large-scale land ships.

In Dos Soares, one naturally follows the local customs. After Xia Yuan and others enjoyed a summer-style dinner, they boarded a luxury yacht at night and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance from the artificial sea.

It is a miracle in every sense, a creation like a moving city.

After getting up the next day, Xia Yuan started to check the forum updates and found that many travel and crime posts had appeared overnight. The content was photos of sea views and night scenes taken by men and women, as well as invitations to do criminal missions together. He received a lot of likes. At the same time, some players had submitted applications to participate in the Dosores Extreme Ironman Grand Prix - some players were eyeing this event with "very generous" prizes and were ready to take their teams to make a big splash.

This also made the players who had originally planned to come but canceled at the last minute feel jealous, and they comforted themselves by thinking that they could just come back next year.

In addition to players, there are also many professional players and high-level players participating in the Ironman Grand Prix, such as the professional players from Yanyu Tower who came all the way from Letania. As the mid-season tournament in October is about to begin in Terra time, the warlocks in their team have apparently successfully obtained professional or secondary professional books from the Warlock Academy in Letania. After consulting with coach Baimi, team leader Yan Fei believes that this trip will allow the team members to relax while training team combat. Maybe it will trigger Dosores' limited mission?

The players have not received the limited mission yet. This morning, the pioneer drove to the tourist area where most of the players live and started selling his equipment.

Xia Yuan identified himself as Crazy Dave, and the players were immediately impressed when they saw Pioneer, because Mr. Pioneer was not wearing the cool mechanical equipment that he usually wears. It seems that with the arrival of summer, Pioneer has also changed his appearance.

The combination of sunglasses, short-sleeved top and beach pants, with two guns on the waist, looks casual but also has a pioneering spirit.

The players opened his shop and were immediately surprised and delighted.

"What...what is this? This is equipment I've never seen before!"

"Wow! The Burning Sun Crossbow can penetrate the enemy, which is much better than what we have now... The Summer Night Sword can make the enemy vulnerable with a small chance, and the Sea Foam Dagger can cause a certain amount of spell damage with a small chance. Wow, they are all magical weapons!"

"No, this is not a divine weapon. It seems to be a limited edition weapon sold only in summer. If you get these weapons..."

Players' eyes lit up and they talked about it as if they had seen the limited summer skins. Those skins were not like limited card pools that required gambling on probability to draw. These limited skins just lay quietly in the store, waiting for players to buy them.

Obviously, when players found out that they could buy limited edition weapons without opening the boxes, they excitedly rushed forward and started clicking on the store to buy them.

In addition, they also found that there were more occupation books for craftsmen and mechanics in the bookstore, which made the players overjoyed. Isn't this what you want? You know, some of them have been holding the mechanical armor on the pioneer giegie for a long time, but the pioneer's bookstore doesn't have it, and they can't find a teacher in other national forces. At that time, the players speculated that the pioneer might teach the players these secondary occupations after the favorability of the pioneer reached a certain standard. Now it's here, isn't it?

However, there are only a few players among the many players who can purchase these production profession books. Auxiliary is not popular in this version. Although the pioneer himself is an auxiliary profession, he is a legendary NPC, and his combat power unit is naturally different from that of our group of players.

Despite this, there were still hundreds of people who bought the job transfer books for craftsmen and mechanics from the pioneer giegie, and the eyes they looked at Xia Yuan were like the admiration of a disciple looking at his master.

Qiu Muyu and Xiao Xiao Xue Gao also successfully bought the job transfer books for craftsmen and mechanics. The few extra expenses they usually make are to buy themselves fashion clothes. Now they are wearing cool belly-exposing clothes, which attracts the attention of many male players. As blacksmiths, they can repair the durability of team members. In addition to the tasks, they also have some extra income from working. They look at the pioneers with a little admiration. The pioneers are their teachers.

The Yanyu Building bought a lot of supplies from him. Not only did they spend a lot of money on weapons, they even bought a batch of limited armor. They were preparing to compete for the Ironman Grand Prix, so they naturally needed to be fully armed. In addition to the Ironman Grand Prix, they also considered the competition that would be held in two months of Terra time. Maybe they wouldn't be able to meet the Pioneers before then, and it would be embarrassing if they couldn't update their equipment. So they took this opportunity to spend like crazy, spending all the money and experience that Yanyu Building had earned during this period.

In addition, Xia Yuan also sold a lot of other professional books and sub-professional books, and his experience points soared.

"I hope you can enjoy the summer in Dosores, adventurers."

After taking good care of the player dad, Xia Yuan retired, but he did not drive back to the upper city. Today, Kanelian and Muerseth were taking the three little ones to play in the hotel, and he was not needed for the time being. Instead of lying in the hotel swimming pool doing nothing, Xia Yuan would rather spend this time in the city of Dosores. Maybe he could discover some adventures.

The situation in Bolivar is very complicated. There are three different forces. The Xingu Dynasty that occupied this place in the past, which later became Letania during the period of the Witch King and afterwards, Colombia which took advantage of the situation and came from behind, and some real Bolivarians who want to liberate Bolivar and want to fight for themselves.

But in Dosores, these three forces can all thrive here, which is why Colombian gold vouchers can be used here.

This might be the mayor's plan, or it might be her conspiracy, but Xia Yuan was not sure. He did not know Bolivar in his previous life, and he had never been active here in this life.

In the next few days, after the first round of the Ironman Grand Prix started, Xia Yuan was still wandering around the lower town. He did gain something during these days. At least he saw with his own eyes the gunfight between the expatriates from Letania and Colombia in the lower town. The real Bolivarians disguised themselves as gangsters and harassed and stole from the hotels of the expatriates from Letania and Colombia...they were all just minor fights.

But the downtown area here is indeed full of the sins of money.

In the afternoon, Xia Yuan continued to explore the map. He came to a bar. Although it was afternoon, there were many people drinking here. Most of them were workers who came to take a break during work. They drank beer and watched the first Dos Solès Ironman Grand Prix on TV, clapping or laughing exaggeratedly from time to time.

Most of the workers drank Chico, a cheap distilled liquor brand that can be found everywhere in Bolivar today. It has a strong taste and is widely loved by the poor in Bolivar. Many of them also drank Golden Cup beer, a beer brand created by the Dos Solás government. Compared with various high-end liquors, in a city full of carnival, beer is still the most popular.

Xia Yuan came and sat down at the bar. Usually in a bar, tourists who sat down at the bar did not have any other intentions or purposes. The only thing they wanted might be information.

"A golden mug of beer."

The calm-looking Bolivar Liberian standing behind the bar asked in a deep voice, "Are you of age?"

Xia Yuan had been asked this question many times. He nodded and took out a lot of gold chips and alloy currencies that he would need for his recent wanderings in the lower city.

"A golden cup of beer, please wait."

The Liberi man turned around silently and started mixing the cocktails. Xia Yuan noticed that his bare arm was covered with a towel, and when he turned around, the horrible scar under the towel was exposed.

Besides that, the bartender doesn't look like an ordinary person. If he were half a human, he wouldn't have such a muscular body through training... It looks like he's exercising just for the sake of exercising, but why does a bartender need to train to look like a muscular man?

When the other party brought the wine over, Xia Yuan observed his palms, which were covered with calluses, most of which were in the center of the palms and at the entrance of the hands. They did not look like the calluses of a worker.

"guest..."

Xia Yuan chuckled, pretending that he saw nothing, and turned his gaze to the TV.

First of all, there is a ten-day audition period. Contestants need to qualify from auditions of various contents held in various places in the city. There will be a total of forty auditions. With a huge number of tourists and players, there will be at least thousands of teams participating in this audition, and most of them will be eliminated.

What was being broadcast live on TV was the South District auditions. Dozens of participating teams needed to collect a sufficient number of red balls at a specific location, and only the first place winner who reached the finish line would pass the auditions. The scene of the competition was naturally filled with cheers and applause. Xia Yuan saw the players among the participating teams, and they were not the only competing team. They were all players, so they would naturally not go easy on them.

After drinking two glasses of wine, the workers returned to the construction site to continue working. At this time, Xia Yuan put down his glass and looked at the bartender Liberi, who had been wiping the glass in silence since just now.

"Dad, can I help clean the cups?"
