Arknights, but keeping Terra in captivity

So, former Miss, come here and demonstrate it to everyone."

Sofia: “???”

Chapter 238: How to distinguish between pseudo-humans and NPCs? Chen Ran’s tips.

The reason why NPCs are NPCs is that no matter how much they behave and speak like normal people, they are ultimately only operating based on the most basic underlying code logic.

Just as Xiao Baijin gave the example, for NPCs, in their operating logic, the word "spanking" is only associated with punishment.

And they have no idea why such punishment, when spoken by humans, has been transformed into a "reward", a "sexual fetish", or a part of "SM".

Precisely because they have no idea, when their operating logic encounters something they cannot understand, extremely obvious BUG loopholes will occur.

And this is the key to deciphering the world in the painting and identifying the fake people.

"So, in other words, just find something that an NPC wouldn't understand, but a human would think, 'Oh my god, your XP is so low!'"

"Oh no, considering that Sui's use of the power of 'intention' is even more proficient than Xiao Xigua's, ordinary underlying logic deciphering methods will definitely not work."

"It's not enough for the NPCs to be incomprehensible; it has to reach a level that even the elderly can't understand."

It's basically like 'years old: What kind of scene have I not seen? (X)' 'years old: I have never seen such a scene before (√)'.

As long as they can make Sui reveal his weakness, then they will have complete victory.

Well, now that we have a solution, everyone starts brainstorming -

That being said, Zofia and Xiao Xigua are both innocent, one is more innocent than the other.

Let the two of them discuss human XP?

That would only make them both feel like "lechers" on the left and "shameless" on the right, with their cheeks flushed and filled with shame and anger.

And Little Platinum?

Xinteleya only knew how to say weird things, so when Xinteleya was quite bold and asked Chen Ran to take off Sofia's skirt and spank her, Xinteleya was physically silenced by Sofia.

But without anyone to give them advice, Sofia and Xiao Xigua could only place their hopes on the all-knowing and omnipotent Chen Ran.

"Find a fake Fujitsu weapon."

Chen Ran said, "Pour some clear liquid on it, preferably something thick enough to be drawn into a thread. Then just keep walking forward. Every time you meet someone, swing that fake Fujitsu device in their face."

Sofia and Xiao Xigua looked at each other.

Finally, Zofia, who was no longer so aloof, raised her hand and asked, "That... the fake Fujitsu weapon you mentioned? What is that?"

"Fake chicken."

Chen Ran said.

Sofia & Xiao Xigua: "..."

Zofia & Little NPC Gua: "???"

Chen Ran's words were so blunt that they caused both of their brains to shut down.

"Each of you should hold a fake stick in your hands and swing it at everyone you see. If the other person's reaction is simply to cry out in pain, then they are definitely an NPC, a fake person."

But Chen Ran ignored the two men's reactions and continued to instruct them: "But if, when they first see you approaching with a fake stick, their reaction is 'Don't even come here!', and then, as soon as you swing the fake stick in their face, they immediately curse the quintessence of Chinese culture while transforming into a furious, terrifying upright ape, swearing to kill you, then this is definitely the real thing."

Sofia & Xiao Xigua: "..."

Xi didn't know whether this behavior would make Sui react with "I've never seen such a scene before (√)".

But at least... well, this little Xigua was really shocked anyway.

As a virgin who has lived for thousands of years... Oh no, it's Xi who is like a fairy in a painting who can only be admired from afar and not touched.

As innocent as she was, Xi couldn't help but blush at this moment and spat, "You, you lecher...what on earth are you saying? You're being lewd in broad daylight, you have no sense of shame!"

"But Xiao Xigua, just tell me, does this method work?"

Chen Ran, however, spread his hands and said, "This method saves time and effort, doesn't require any soldiers, and there's no need to worry about the residents of this city getting hurt."

It's okay to be hurt!

Psychological trauma is also a wound, okay? Who wouldn’t go crazy if someone got slapped in the face by a fake email?

"Oh... this method doesn't work, huh?"

Seeing the two people's reactions, Chen Ran sighed and said, "Okay, okay, then I'll think of other ways."

Just think of other ways...

Sophia and the little girl breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

They were really afraid that Chen Ran would be stubborn and insist on giving each of them a fake one.

"Ah, yes."

Chen Ran thought for a long time before finally coming up with an idea: "Peel the yam and carve it into a mushroom shape. Then, take the yam and have close contact with the residents. Directly poke... oh no, poke the residents' genitals. As long as they don't instantly revert to their original form, making monkey cries while scratching like crazy, and looking like they're going crazy—"

"Stop it now!"

Zofia couldn't help but interrupt, "This is even more outrageous than the last time you used a fake... ahem, fake Fujitsu weapon to hit someone in the face!"

Although Xi didn't say anything, her little face flushed and she seemed to be feeling uncomfortable. Her thoughts and opinions were probably similar to Zofia's.

"That won't work? Let me think about it again..."

After being rejected twice in a row, Chen Ran was not discouraged. Instead, he continued to rack his brains: "Those NPCs are pseudo-humans, right? Pseudo-humans don't need to eat, right? In that case, let's evolve taste buds in the rectums of these people and see which ones will—"

"...why don't you just shut up?"

Sophia couldn't help it.

She has now begun to doubt whether Chen Ran is planning to save people or to tease them.

But then Sofia thought, that’s not right, isn’t Chen Ran just a fun-loving person?

Realizing that Chen Ran was unreliable, Zofia covered Xinteleya's mouth and turned her gaze to Xi.

And what about the little Xigua?

She originally saw Chen Ran giving her advice and his attention was no longer on her.

So the little melon went from being so reserved and scared at first that it curled up into a ball, but slowly began to relax and its body stretched out.

Although he hadn't relaxed enough to make a "big" shape directly on Chen Ran's palm... Oh no, this little melon has a tail, so it should make a "wood" shape.

But her dignified sitting posture, proud attitude, and even her innate temperament made this little girl seem like the hostess here.

That's why Sofia subconsciously looked at her for advice.

Although Xi also noticed Sofia's gaze, she just raised her proud neck like a white swan and was about to say a few words.

But Chen Ran suddenly raised his hand and placed Xi in front of him.

Such a distance made Xi, who had begun to relax, immediately and hurriedly retract her little feet again.

"They say things never happen more than three times. I've already given you two, Xiao Xigua, three suggestions, right?"

Chen Ran looked at Xi and asked, "Can you at least pick one?"

Chapter 239: What are you using to hit someone in the face?! This isn't how you play the Rules of Ghost Stories.

Chen Ran was actually playing a word game.

He didn't say, "Then you can think of a solution yourself," but asked them to "choose one from four suggestions."

This is an obvious trap.

It's said to be a choice between three, but in reality there is no choice. After all, it's impossible to really choose between yam thorns and rectal taste buds, right?

and so--

"Really, really... really shameless..."

In the world line where the Sui Beast revives early, in the world of the painting, in front of the hut where Xi is imprisoned.

Hearing the disgusted voice coming from behind her, Sofia's face turned red and then darkened.

Sophia's blushing was due to her shyness and embarrassment, and her dark face was due to...

"I'm talking to you! What gives you the right to say I have no sense of shame?!"

Sofia turned around, waving a fake stick in her hand excitedly, and asked a soul-searching question to Xi who was hiding in the house watching the fun.

Choose one of the three methods, and you chose the "Fake Face Identification Method".

In the end, I was the one who carried out the execution! It was me, Zofia!

You, the main culprit Xiao Xigua, not only did you hide yourself, but you also kept saying that you have no shame... ?

Believe it or not, I...I...I...

Because of the aristocratic education she received since childhood, Zofia couldn't say such vulgar words as "Do you believe that I will hit you in the face right now?"

But can anyone say it?

"Ex-Miss, I know this thing is a rarity for you, but could you please not be so excited and wave it around like a cheering light stick?"

Yes, in addition to Zofia, there is also Sintrea who has descended to earth, or in other words, a "messenger of God" who has come to this world line.

But given Xinteleya's lazy nature, she naturally didn't come down voluntarily.

So, after being silenced for so long and being forced to "go out for a walk instead of staying at home all the time," Xinteleya naturally couldn't hold back her complaints any longer and said, "If you really can't hold it back, I'll go find an LED ribbon and help you get it. But after that, former Miss, don't tell me you know me. I'd be embarrassed."

Sofia: "..."

Zofia turned around with a dark face, raised the fake post in her hand, and gestured a few times towards Xinteleya's little face.

So Xinteleya decisively admitted her mistake.

There was no way, no one could accept being hit in the face with a fake gun, and Xinteleya was no exception.

She is just being bad, not trying to be socially dead.

Seeing that Xinteleya had calmed down, Sofia let out a long sigh.

Sofia now felt that the fake pen in her hand was too hot to be touched. She couldn't bear to look at it. Her hands seemed to be dirty. She wanted to throw it away and wash her hands more than ten times.

But there's no way, Sofia came to the world with a mission.

Although if you were Vishdale, he would definitely throw the fake post in his hand and say, "Whoever wants to work can do it, I won't serve you. What? Don't accept it? If you don't accept it, just keep it to yourself. Come on, or you will kill me with that fake post!"

But Zofia can't do that, she has to save face.

Sofia took a deep breath, glanced at Xi, who was hiding inside the house watching the fun, and said, "So... isn't this your world line? Why does it require two outsiders like us to solve it?"

The implication was, why were she and Xinteleya the only ones who were doomed? She had to find a way to drag Xi into this, too.

But Chen Ran, who was perched high in the sky, overlooking the entire planet from a god's perspective, suddenly spoke up when he heard this: "After I fished out Little Xigua, Sui had already noticed that she was missing and had been searching for her everywhere. So, in order not to alert her, we had to put her back and let her continue to pretend to be under house arrest, so as to dispel Sui's suspicions."

Sofia: "..."

No?

Isn’t this treatment too different?

Xinteleya and I were having a blast outside, but that little idiot just had to go inside and pretend?

"That's true."

Xinteleya, standing by, echoed, "But given the nature of that lecherous evil god, even if he calls it house arrest, he's sure to go all out. So maybe Miss Xi will have to go through the whole process of being bound, imprisoned, defeated, and finally submissively accepted as her master? If you, the former young lady, are envious, you could ask that lecherous evil god to trade you with a storyline of defeating a knight—"

"Well... then that's not necessary..."

When Sofia heard this, she coughed lightly in embarrassment.

But this time it was Xiao Xigua who got anxious.

But at this moment, Chen Ran's voice suddenly rang out: "Someone's here! I don't know if it's an NPC or a real person. Auntie, Little Platinum, it's time for you to show off! For this world line!"

"Don't make that 'use a fake post to attack someone' sound so passionate! Are you sick?"

Although they said so, Zofia and Cintrea were still... well, only Zofia was mentally prepared to attack at any time.

Because Xinteleya can stop time, she can run away at any time.
