Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

In Xia Yuan's previous life, he was a supporting profession, and the gunsmith sub-profession has a powerful dexterity and intelligence bonus for supporting professions.

Every auxiliary is a younger brother in the early stage, but in the middle and late stages, with the secondary profession of craftsman, they learn mechanical advanced knowledge, craftsman knowledge and equipment design knowledge, and they can become the most powerful individual soldiers on the battlefield.

The secondary profession summoner can summon the mechanical army he built on the battlefield, dress them in defensive armor forged by craftsmen, and equip them with assault rifles made by gunsmiths, and crush the enemy purely by numbers and spending money.

If you want to obtain these secondary occupations, you need to go to specific mission points to carry out activities.

As for the main profession, for novice players, their main goal of entering "Ark" is to search aimlessly on the map for the main profession transfer book.

This place is shabby and doesn't look like there are any professional books here.

Xia Yuan leaned against the edge of the tent, trying to fall asleep, but couldn't fall asleep for a while.

There were dozens of saktas sitting in the tent... Who could sleep under the illumination of a dozen incandescent bulbs?

No wonder no Sarkaz mercenaries were willing to enter the tent. Who wants to be blinded by the light?

However, he observed that each Sakta's lamps and wings were slightly different, although they all looked shiny and bright overall.

It was midnight and Xia Yuan's eyelids were already drooping. When he was finally about to fall asleep, the wind outside the tent suddenly grew stronger and the shouts of the Sarkaz mercenaries suddenly came from afar.

Xia Yuan coughed lightly and rubbed his eyes. The other Sakotas looked at each other, confused.

Lance, who had the highest rank and looked like the leader, suddenly looked grim.

"Wait, they are speaking Sarkaz swear words, let me listen." Lance is not a member of the regular army, but he has been cruising on the battlefield for some time, so he can still understand some of the Sarkaz swear words.

Just like when you hear the Ursus people say a few words of Sukabulie, you can tell that they are cursing.

"Oh my god, our luck is like a donkey lost in a sandstorm without supplies." Lance burst out a few Rutland curses after hearing a few words, his face was grim, "A natural disaster has come."

Sakota's face suddenly changed, and even Xia Yuan's face looked very unhappy.

In his previous life, he worked in business transportation and logistics, which meant transporting a piece of goods from one mobile city to another mobile city - very similar to the emperor's penguin logistics job. However, Xia Yuan was most afraid of encountering natural disasters randomly generated on the map while on the road.

No matter what level a player is at or how powerful his equipment is, when facing a natural disaster, he can only see his HP dropping little by little and the durability of his equipment disappearing little by little.

No player has ever been able to survive a natural disaster, and everyone runs away the first time they see one.

brush!

The tent was suddenly opened, and a Sarkaz mercenary said with a curse: "Sarkaz foul language, you are all free, I don't want your bounty anymore."

After saying this, he turned around and left immediately. A moment later, the sound of a truck engine starting was heard.

In the blink of an eye, all the Sarkaz mercenaries ran away. Naturally, they had no time to rescue these prisoners.

Lance led his men out of the tent and saw the black sandstorm in the distance that connected the sky and the earth. He took a breath and said, "Let's run in the direction we came from."

A wave of pessimism appeared on the faces of the other dozens of Sakotas. They said nothing and took the lead to run in one direction.

The darkness spread quickly, and Xia Yuan was barely able to identify the location of the team members in front of him by relying on the light of the halo and wings. He had to move his body with an endurance of 1 and follow the large group breathlessly.

What's the point of having such a high Charm? High Charm can be used to charm or persuade, but can you charm the Scourge?

While Xia Yuan was muttering to himself, a scream came from beside him and a light went out.

“Don’t look back!”

Lance gritted his teeth and shouted in a trembling voice. From the corner of his eye, he saw his comrade being blown into the sky by the storm. His body was instantly covered by the vicious Originium fragments. Even if he fell and became a cripple, he would not live long after being infected with such a serious mineral disease.

Xia Yuan thought about how lucky he was, so he had to grit his teeth and move forward. However, his endurance was only 1, and he watched the storm getting closer and closer...

A hand appeared in front of him, picked up his body without hesitation, and ran forward faster.

It was Lance! He carried Xia Yuan and did not stop at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and rushed forward.

Maybe it was because of his great charm or the solidarity of the Sakota people, but he did not give up on the young members of his tribe.

If only the wings could allow me to fly, this was Xia Yuan’s last thought before he fell into coma.

......

"cough!"

Xia Yuan stood up from the bed and coughed violently. He quickly took the purified water from the bedside table and gulped down a few gulps. Only then did he feel a little better.

The room was quiet and did not look like a ward. Xia Yuan stood up and walked to the window, and found that outside the window was an ordinary small village. Some Sakota people were working in the fields. Not far away, the holy city of Lateran was looming in the fog.

Thinking of the last scene before he became most sober, was he rescued?

After taking a look at the character panel, Xia Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he was not infected with the oripathy.

If they were players, they might consciously and deliberately infect themselves with Ore Disease to increase their attributes, but as people infected with Ore Disease, they would be rejected by almost all NPC mobile cities. In other words, they were not welcome.

You can’t conduct normal transactions, you can only go on the black market. You can’t go shopping on the streets normally, because the infected people are only fit to walk in the sewers of hell.

I can only say there are pros and cons.

Infected players can only stay in a few small mobile cities, or join organizations that do not discriminate against oripathy - such as the Tower of Babel in 1.0, or the later Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals.

In the promotion of "Ark", Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals is a big part of the plot. Because Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals drives a group of land warships, many players choose to join the organization.

After changing into his outer clothes, Xia Yuan looked in the mirror before going out.

If nothing else, I just want to see how high Charm 7's face is.

In the mirror stood a handsome young man, his face was extraordinary, like the light of the stars - I can only say that the halo was really bright. Under the light gray short hair, was a pair of blazing golden eyes... No, I went to the wrong set, it was a pair of golden eyes.

If this hair color was darker, paired with this eye color, wouldn't it really be like a bloody battle on that beach?

Xia Yuan still looks like a scholar, with very fair skin, and he doesn't look like someone who would go to the battlefield.

His halo is golden yellow, and if you look closely you will find two circles, similar to ripples. The wings behind him are the same color as the halo, and their shape is not like the wings of ordinary Sakota, but like a rectangular totem, with soft corners, and an O-shaped shape at the end of the wing. A straight vertical line passes through the entire totem and the O, connecting the pattern.

The first thing every Sakota player does when creating an account is to check how their halo and wings are different from others, because this is completely random. Some Sakota players also hold a competition for the most beautiful halo and wings, in order to vote for the most beautiful shape among the crowd.

Xia Yuan pushed the door open. Lance was sitting alone in the living room. He was reading and when he saw Xia Yuan, he raised his head and smiled, "You're awake. You were in a coma for a day. Fortunately, the doctor said that you were just too tired and your body was protecting itself."

"Thank you."

"I just did everything a Lateran citizen could do. I must think twice before taking such 'adventures' in the future."

Lance coughed lightly and said, and Xia Yuan just listened.

Four people in the team of more than ten people were swept away by the storm and their lives and deaths were unknown. As the captain, Lance naturally did not have a good face, but he would not blame Xia Yuan for this incident. After all, Xia Yuan was just a naughty minor, and it was not him who brought the natural disaster.

"If you're hungry, you can go to the church and get something to eat."

Xia Yuan thanked Lance, went out and asked passers-by for the direction of the church, and then took a step forward.

Outside the church, there were people holding bouquets of flowers, and there were people busy working with heavy faces. Xia Yuan saw the members who were captured like him. They nodded to each other, passed each other, and walked towards the back of the church, where there were four tombstones.

Xia Yuan pushed open the door of the church.

Colorful light sprinkled through the glass. A tall figure stood under the light, whispering softly as if he was praying.

After a moment, he turned around and smiled at Xia Yuan, "He's a lost lamb."

Xia Yuan was stunned when he saw the person clearly. He recognized the person. In future versions, this gentle-looking guide in front of him would make countless players cry for their parents.

Martyr Andorn is at the top of the future Lateran wanted list. Many players have ideas about the equipment and mission rewards he drops, but he beats them all. He is called "the pioneer" by players on the forum. He has stepped into every corner of Terra. He is a Sakota who is willing to become the enemy of Lateran in order to ask a question, and a pathfinder who is willing to embark on a difficult road to get an answer.

Even though he is an enemy, many players have very complicated feelings towards him, some are hostile, some admire him, but more often they respect him.

He is not angry, nor sad, nor does he blame God, nor does he demand too much from others. Andorn just walks on his own path until the end.

Not to mention that there are some players who have joined the Andorne Pathfinder team. They enjoy the journey while also serving as Andorne's bodyguards.

However, this year is 1086, five years away from Andorn's rebellion in 1091. He is now a reliable partner and spiritual mentor. He did not appear in front of the players in the 1.0 period, and the players did not know this person. It was only when the players communicated with NPCs later that they learned about Andorn's past.

"Mr. Monk, I'm a little hungry."

Hearing this address, Andorn showed a gentle smile on his face. He patted Xia Yuan's shoulder gently and handed her a small piece of cake.

Sweets are the favorite of the people of Sakota and are also the food that Sakota players talk about with relish. As a Sakota player, it is normal to have a pastry chef as a secondary profession.

Xia Yuan hadn't eaten for a day and a night. He wolfed down the food and only then did he feel a little relaxed.

"You are not much younger than me. How come a young man of this age appears on the battlefield?" Andorn sat down next to Xia Yuan and asked with a chuckle. There was no blame in his tone, only gentleness and curiosity.

Xia Yuan thought about the original owner's way of thinking, and then considered the changes in himself after he traveled through time. The original owner was an orphan and did not have much communication with his classmates. He could completely change himself gradually until he no longer needed to role-play.

Xia Yuan spoke up. In his eyes, Andoen was not an NPC, but a lost ascetic monk walking on the earth. He was a living person. "It feels like I can't learn anything in school."

His tone then became smooth, "I think seeing is believing. The social studies teacher happened to talk about the holy war with Kazdel, so I wanted to see it up close."

Andorn nodded and asked gently, "What are the results of the observation?"

"There is no mortal feud between the Sarkaz and the Sakota as written in the books. The moment those mercenaries saw us, they did not kill us, but wanted to exchange us for money. The hatred is only written in history, and people today are just carrying the hatred of the former."

Andorn seemed to like Xia Yuan's answer very much. He smiled and said, "Seeing is believing. That's a good point."

"My name is Andorn, what's your name?"

"Xiayuan Lanshem, Master Monk."

"Lanshem, what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"

[Andorn (Lv?) is ready to teach you a professional skill book, please select a profession]

NPCs that are truly powerful above the rest of the land will have a Lv? result when observed, and NPCs that appear in the main storyline all have a ? on their heads, indicating that they are extremely dangerous and cannot be defeated!

WC, it was indeed the leader who was hurt.

Xia Yuan's eyes lit up. He had originally thought that he could only find the profession book with a low probability if he went back to Lateran City and looked for it in the library. He didn't expect to come across it now.

This man, Andorn, is truly a man of grave sins. He is indeed worthy of being called the pioneer by the players.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment and said carefully: "I don't want to be a warrior holding a gun. I want to assist them as much as possible, help them, build strong armor for them, create powerful guns for them, so that they can return home safely."

Andorn chuckled, "What an extravagant dream."

"But I have a book here that is very suitable for you."

He took out a book from the bag he was carrying and handed it to Xia Yuan. It was a book called "Interpreting Teamwork and Logistics", a basic book for the auxiliary department.

"Work hard, Lanshem. I hope your dream will come true one day."

Andorn stood up, smiled and nodded to Xia Yuan, then walked out of the church.

This man really has that damn charm that the players talked about. Xia Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at the book, and began to flip through it to read.

Chapter 3: The Holy City That Remains Unbroken

In the evening, Xia Yuan finished interpreting and studying the book. He closed the book, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

[You obtain a new occupation [Assisting Beginners], dexterity +1, intelligence +1, and gain 2 free attribute points]

[You have obtained new features, [Assisting Beginners], [Team Assistance], [Team Assistance]]

This is why the auxiliary profession is not popular in the early stages. If there is no support from a secondary profession, it is better to find a guard to open up the wasteland than to choose an auxiliary as a teammate to get that little bit of team bonus.

Each player can only equip five attributes, and the attributes of the main and secondary occupations in the game "Ark" add up to more than four digits, so everyone's attributes and gameplay are different.

Characteristics are acquired, but talents are something that comes with the account when it is created. Everyone's initial talents are completely different.

Naturally, talents can be obtained by completing certain specific and rare tasks.

In 1.0, the auxiliary profession accounted for only 6% of all players, which was completely incomparable to the popular guards, snipers and warlocks.

Xia Yuan thought about it and added two attribute points to intelligence and endurance respectively. With more intelligence, he would be able to read and study much faster, and with endurance, his endurance bar would be increased... He had experienced a natural disaster close at hand, so running fast was still very useful. As a fragile auxiliary, if he was still slow, wouldn't he be killed instantly by others?

He brought up the panel.
