Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Muerseth licked his fingers and broke off one and put it in his mouth, "So sweet."

Xia Yuan chewed the candy, licked the sweetness of the candy's surface, and yawned.

Muirseth said softly, "It must have been hard driving all the way back."

"It's a good thing you guys talked to me, otherwise I would be driving while fatigued."

"Well...why don't you want to rest in my ecological park for a while?" Muirseth suggested, "Xia Yuan, you fell asleep easily last time, right? Anyway, it's still a long time before night, so why not just take a normal nap?"

Xia Yuan felt that what she said made sense.

After arriving at Rhine Life, Xia Yuan and Muerseth got out of the car and entered the administrative department. They greeted Yara, who had piles of documents piled in front of her workstation and several newly hired female secretaries were helping her.

Yara, thank you for your hard work for this family.

"Yara~ I'm back."

Muerseth hugged him and said, "Xia Yuan and I brought you a gift. You will definitely like it."

Yara looked helpless. She pinched Muirseth's cheek like she was coaxing a child, and looked at Xia Yuan with a hint of vigilance, as if Xia Yuan was some kind of kidnapper.

"?"

Xia Yuan felt like he was being targeted, so he took out gifts from his bag. He bought a lot of souvenirs and perfumes that women liked for Yara, while Muirseth brought a lot of summer clothes for Yara... I don't know how this water elf knew about Yara's three-dimensionality.

"By the way, where is Christen? Is she free now?" Muerseth asked with a smile.

Yara's tone was faint, and her eyes seemed to be looking at Xia Yuan, but also seemed to be looking at something in the distance.

"Kristen and Saria are hanging out."

"what."

"I left in the morning."

Muerseth glanced at Xia Yuan, who was keeping a poker face, and pretended to be surprised, "Hey, should it be a meeting?"

"Kristen asked me what movies were popular recently before she left."

"..."

"..."

"You have worked hard."

Xia Yuan and Muirseth said in unison.

Yara smiled and said, "I'm not angry either. Christen is under too much pressure. I think a girl of her age should go out more... As for Mr. Shareholder, it's time for Rhine Life to recruit a new batch of people. Not only military orders, but also many industries in Colombia have commissioned us. I have placed the mechanical power orders in your office. If you need them, you can talk to Ferdinand. I believe he is very interested in these orders."

Xia Yuan nodded seriously, "Leave it to me. I will discuss with the Melander Foundation. While expanding the park, the internal system also needs to be adjusted."

"I'll go say hello to Kristen." Yara nodded. As long as Xia Yuan was doing his job, he would still do his job.

Yala's feelings towards Xia Yuan are very complicated. At the moment, she feels more grateful.

She saw Kristen's transformation... In fact, she was the one who wanted to thank Xia Yuan the most.

Xia Yuan suddenly felt less sleepy when he thought about the expansion. Muirseth was distributing the gifts he brought to different researchers, while Xia Yuan was using his mobile terminal to contact the representative of the Melander Foundation whom he met at the shareholders' meeting.

In addition to expanding the new campus, departments that were familiar to us in the previous life can also be moved up.

Chapter 104: Eighteen years old, a student (fog)

Xia Yuan had mixed feelings when she entered the university campus again.

In this land of suffering, can you tell me that academic qualifications can earn you a living and save your life?

It seems that you can really make a living. After all, the scientific community in Columbia is full of graduate students, masters and doctoral students, and academic qualifications are always the best stepping stone.

As for college, there is no such thing as school uniforms. Unlike the high school uniforms that Senomi, Mandela and Susie need to wear, they are mainly casual. Except that they don't have to live in the dormitory, they are no different from other college students.

Speaking of accommodation, he has bought a new property in Tremont as a base for his small team. Since they are going to stay in Tremont permanently, they naturally won't stay in a hotel all the time.

The proposal for the staff dormitory is also being followed up. Xia Yuan and Yara, on behalf of Rhine Life, talked with the military and the Mayland Foundation for a long time, marked out the expansion area on the map, and made small plans for the future. The military is very satisfied with the efficiency of Rhine Life because they have successfully improved the small flaws in the military armor... At this point, every progress is a huge gain, and the military's attitude is naturally very good.

The cooperation between Ferdinand and Xia Yuan was very successful. At a research and development meeting attended by many shareholders, Ferdinand put one hand in his pocket and introduced the results of the improvements with pride and pride.

Expansion is inevitable.

The players who returned to Colombia with Xia Yuan immediately dispersed. Everyone had their own tasks and resources to obtain. The production players who bought mechanics, craftsmen, etc. from Xia Yuan were stationed in the town of Barichara, which was closest to Tremon.

It is much more difficult for mechanics and craftsmen to upgrade than for blacksmiths or scribes. The experience gained from the profession will eventually run out. Since they have practiced production professions, they have to make money and gain experience from production professions...but they don't have the materials, and they are discouraged when they see that it is so expensive to roll the blueprints once. As for the production tasks in the town recruitment class, they have been shelved and no player has been able to complete them.

However, they gradually discovered the benefits of being in Colombia.

Many of the permanent players in Barichara Town are members of the Pioneer Association. Every time they come back from pioneering, they gain experience and equipment. They will sell some of the excess materials and ingredients in the evening market. Starting from the lowest level of production, they can gradually make real machines.

A group of players excitedly bought a lot of metal, and began to try to use the craftsman's forging to grind the metal into the materials they needed. Then it was a matter of skill proficiency. These novice production players were very stable at the beginning and naturally succeeded. While gaining experience, they also obtained the forged shoulder armor.

Although, this shoulder armor seems to be a little inferior to the shoulder armor sold by the pioneers for the first time, but it can be sold to NPCs. In addition to NPCs, they can also sell it to new players... As the topic of Ark is getting more and more popular in the real world, new people are constantly joining the game.

Only when there are new people and demand can the economy come back to life, right?

As for the general idea of ​​the production system, players are still exploring it one by one, while Qiu Muyu and Xiao Xiaoxuegao in the city are closer to the pioneers, and they can obtain more resources. Although there are no pioneers to teach them how to forge iron, they can buy metals in Tremont that are not available in the Novice Town. They even discovered the existence of a black market while exploring Tremont with players such as Dan Dao Dan Tart and Magic ZX.

"Who will take them today?"

Xia Yuan put the fried egg made by Senomi into her mouth, "Now Senomi, Mandela and Susie are in the same high school, so we don't need to send them in batches anymore."

"I'll go take it there, Kanelian. You protect the boss at school." Mace glanced at the white-haired Caprini who was silently biting bacon beside him with a hearty eating manner.

Kanelian snorted and laughed, "Okay, I will protect brother Xia Yuan's safety."

"No, there won't be any accidents in school."

Xia Yuan was speechless. He had recently noticed that Kanelian's temper and attitude towards him had changed a little. He pulled up the favorability table and glanced at the two people sitting at the table.

[The relationship between the mace and you: (70/100)]

[Relationship between Kanelian and you: (60/100)]

Xia Yuan remembered that 70 favorability was loyalty, and 60 was what, enthusiasm? It seemed that if it went up a little further, it would be loyalty.

"Master, is breakfast delicious?" Senomi poked her head out of the kitchen and said with a smile.

"Well, we all approve of Senomi's cooking skills."

Mandela and Susie were wearing aprons and washing their hands. They had finished their assistant work and could go to school next.

He also took a look at the favorability of the three little ones.

[The relationship between Senomi and you: (95/100)]

[Mandela's relationship with you: (95/100)]

[Susie's relationship with you: (55/100)]

Wow, they are so high. Are the favorability of Senomi and Mandra so high? It is only five points away from the top. Xia Yuan was stunned. It was not because he was confused, but he really had never seen an NPC with such a high favorability. In his previous life, after the player came to the conclusion that NPCs could not be conquered, he did not give up. Every day, he faced the smug-faced Kal'tsit to brush the favorability, but he could not break through 20 from beginning to end.

It seems that the problem is not with me, but with you.

Xia Yuan said to Kanelian, "There is no possibility of crisis in the university. This is not Kazdel. You and Jian can go wherever you want to go."

Kanelian shrugged. "Since Brother Xia Yuan wants this, shall we go to the training ground to have a fight later? Let's tell Seria, she will definitely come."

"Okay."

Jian wiped his mouth and replied.

Xia Yuan coughed softly. He felt that he could no longer beat Seria (sad).

After seeing off Jian, Kanelian and the three little ones, Xia Yuan did not go to school immediately, but went to Dongcheng District. Most of the people living here are working class people and students. The students pay cheap rent here every month and work outside, so they are able to be self-sufficient.

[You have triggered the C-level personal series mission [Snow Pheasant's Future], accept/give up? ]

[Mission details: With your help, Xuezhi successfully entered Tremont Polytechnic University, but you know that this journey is just the beginning for her. She needs time and space to grow, and you will take on this responsibility.]

[Task requirements: Snow Pheasant successfully enters an industrial university (completed)

Xuezhi successfully entered a technology company for an internship for one year (unfinished)]

[Reward: 30000 experience points]

[Special Reward: Unknown]

Xia Yuan came to a building and rang the doorbell of the resident on the first floor.

"Come on~"

A light and cheerful female voice sounded, and then Xia Yuan heard a sound that was disconnected, as if something had been hit.

The door was pushed open, and Xuezhi, with tears in her eyes, rubbed her knee that had just hit the cabinet.

"Are you okay..."

"No... I'm fine." Xuezhi blinked quickly, and her mood became very happy in a short time. "Thank you, Senior Xia Yuan. Today is the first day of school, and you came here to pick me up to go to school together."

"no big deal."

Xia Yuan smiled and asked, "Where's grandma?"

Xuezhi sighed, "After breakfast, he went to a small square nearby to practice boxing. He said he met an old man from Yan Country here, playing chess, cards, and boxing every day..."

"..."

Xia Yuan was speechless. The old man was indeed in good health. After arriving in Tremon, he did not stay in the room, but went out immediately to make friends.

Xue Zhi came at the end of August. A few days after Xia Yuan returned to Tremont, Xue Zhi and her grandmother took the train to this huge mobile city. Xia Yuan had already asked several people from the black market to keep an eye on the city gate and report to him as soon as the two of them appeared. Therefore, Xia Yuan arrived very timely. Not only did he have a meal with them, but he also found a rental house for them that was relatively close to the school.

Of course, the rental fee was paid by Xuezhi herself. She was a girl with self-esteem and the desire to be independent. It was impossible for her to eat senior Xia Yuan's money for free.

Xuezhi enrolled in the engineering major at Tremont Polytechnic University, which requires four years of study. For Xuezhi, entering the university of her choice and choosing the major she likes is one of the happiest things in her life. As for what will happen four years later, Xuezhi has not thought about it carefully. After all, it is still too far away. Should she go out and work formally or study for a master's degree as the current scientific community advocates? Xuezhi doesn't know.

Unlike Xuezhi, Xia Yuan has no classmates or even any homework. He only has a private classroom, a library filled with books, and several professors specially selected for him by the Melander Foundation.

These include the Department of High Energy Physics, the Department of Mechanical Power, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, the Department of Ecology, and the Department of Originium...

Don't ask why there are majors other than the Department of Mechanical Engineering. It's because Xia Yuan feels that he might as well learn more with the time. After all, he has a genius talent, and it would be a waste of time not to learn. In fact, for him, studying is mainly about reading notes and supplemented by reading books.

After all, the Melander Foundation is prepared to cover all expenses and teacher resources for him, so it’s not too much for Xia Yuan to ask for, right?

After temporarily parting with Xuezhi, the opening ceremony at the university was not so complicated, and Xia Yuan followed a professor to play private lessons.

"I will be your future professor of engineering and dynamics. You can call me Professor Taylor." The middle-aged male professor, who looked a little old, said softly. He looked at Xia Yuan without any emotion. It was more like a business than teaching. "I heard from the Melander Foundation that you have completed all your undergraduate studies. So today we will talk about statistical dynamics and quantum dynamics."

"Professor Taylor, what kind of dynamics makes the mobile city move?"

"...you will know this problem after you finish the class."

Professor Taylor started the class without any nonsense. Xia Yuan didn't care much about his attitude. He was not here to make friends. He just enjoyed watching his numbers rise.

[Professor Taylor Lv55 is teaching you the skill [Quantum Dynamics], current progress 0.05%, Dynamicist sub-profession unlocking progress 0.02%]

[Professor Taylor Lv55 is teaching you the skill [Engineering], the current progress is 0.1%, and the progress of unlocking the Engineer sub-profession is 0.09%]

Watching the numbers soaring up, Xia Yuan felt so good. Is this the joy of gaining numerical results?

After the class, Xia Yuan had already gathered a lot of questions that he wanted to ask Professor Taylor. The latter seemed a little surprised. He originally thought that the Melander Foundation was just fooling around, letting several professors who were quite famous in the scientific community play house with a student, so from the beginning he had a stern face and just wanted to finish the class and leave.

He didn't expect that the "young master of the Melander Foundation" in front of him actually understood everything and had a lot of questions... After all, if he didn't understand, he couldn't ask back.

Professor Taylor found that these were all questions asked by Xia Yuan based on his own experience. Not only did Xia Yuan understand them all, he also mastered them all.

With such a learning speed...Professor Terra had to take a serious look at this student who was not doing his job.

After solving the questions, Xia Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that his progress had doubled in speed. So, if he just became a problem student, could he speed up his studies?

After engineering and dynamics, the professor who entered the classroom was from the Department of High Energy Physics, the subject Christen graduated in. She was an older woman who looked stern and quiet.

"You joined Christen's Rhine Life?"

"Yes."

"I'm Professor Mei. Since Christen has recognized you and wrote to me, let me see your level."
