Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

"The requirements are indeed not high." The Black Knight stood up, she looked down at Xia Yuan who was looking at her in surprise, and stretched out her hand to him, "As an employer, apart from the daily expenses, shouldn't you be responsible for the hot water and healing medicine?"

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and was dragged up by the Black Knight. He looked at the Black Knight and smiled, "From now on, as your employer and bodyguard, as your partner and comrade-in-arms, please give me your guidance, Black Knight."

"Don't call me the Black Knight."

The Black Knight looked at the city behind them. With the arrival of a new day, Cavaleliaki was full of vitality again. They could hear the loud and harsh sound of commercial advertisements even from such a distance.

The Black Knight's destiny has been fulfilled. She successfully won three consecutive championships and became the strongest competitive knight king in the hearts of many fans.

She laughed, her thoughts drifted away with the wind, her shackles loosened, and at this moment, she was no longer a knight, she was still herself.

"Call me Mace."

Mace looked at Xia Yuan, "What should I call you, Xia Yuan? Boss? Pioneer?"

"Call me by my real name in private, and it's up to you the rest of the time."

Jian nodded and stretched his body facing the sun.

[B-level mission [Rainy Night Knight] completed]

[Reward: 80000 experience points]

[Special Reward: Mace's Favorability Increases]

After closing the panel, Xia Yuan felt for the first time that the air in Cavaleliaki was so fragrant, and the dawn after the rainy night was particularly bright.

Jian was injured and had been fighting in the heavy rain all night. He was in urgent need of medical assistance and hot water. Xia Yuan naturally couldn't leave Cavaleliaki right now. The Chamber of Commerce had driven him here, and now that the business was done, they didn't leave the car for him. Xia Yuan cursed them in his heart as a bunch of scumbags.

After spending some Longmen coins, Xia Yuan bought a disposable motorcycle nearby. Putting on a helmet to cover part of her blonde hair, Xia Yuan drove the motorcycle back to the center of Cavaleliaki.

After giving the key to Jian and letting her wash and heal her wounds, Xia Yuan went to a nearby pharmacy to buy some emergency medicines. He was not a medical professional, nor did he have any healing Originium skills, and he could not knock out medicine by hammering iron, so he could only pay for them.

When Xia Yuan returned home, she found Jian wearing his white shirt. Well... Jian has a good figure, a mature lady type, and her lethality is really amazing after she put on her boyfriend's shirt.

At this time, Jian was wiping the water stains on his long hair while looking at Xia Yuan's workbench curiously.

"Are you a craftsman?"

For Jian, this was her first conclusion after seeing the strange flying vehicle last night.

"I'm a craftsman, a mechanic, and a gunsmith. In short, I like banging and creating." Xia Yuan calmly handed the medicine to the mace.

Jian thanked him softly, "No wonder you were able to take out 20 million so easily."

Because he had just signed a letter of intent with the pioneers, Xia Yuan nodded and said, "Three days, you can prepare yourself during these three days."

"I have transferred the first month's salary to your account in advance. If you need money, please let me know. By the way, what kind of clothes do you like to wear when fighting?"

Mace thought for a moment, "Lightweight, I don't like armor."

"it is good."

Since they have become his own employees and bodyguards, they have to dress in a unified manner and have their equipment marked with the pioneer's logo. Creating a brand can also attract players to buy. He needs to make his own name and brand name among the player community.

From now on, players are very interested in the equipment they are wearing, which is mainly black with white as a secondary color, and has a full sense of technology and travel. If they are to make matching equipment in the future, they can start with the color and style of the equipment.

In June, Rhine Life received an invitation to give a lecture from the Melander Foundation. As one of the main speakers, Muirseth was very busy these days, so he had no time to use Originium skills to adventure with Xia Yuan... However, Xia Yuan felt that it would be difficult to explain to her that her idol had joined the team.

Xia Yuan watched Jian put on the dried clothes and leave. The two of them left their contact information with each other - there was a signal in the city of Cavaleliaki, and people with mobile terminals could contact each other, go online to read news and watch videos, etc., but once they left the city, it meant there was no signal source. This was also the meaning of the existence of messengers and disaster messengers, because there was no signal at all between the two mobile cities.

He spent all his savings to buy the mace. The old must go before the new can come. At least for Xia Yuan, 20 million to buy a strong and beautiful queen who is loyal to him and becomes his bodyguard, isn't this a huge profit?

But he should really think about his own brand.

He was going to compete with Black Steel International in Colombia for business. After all, mercenaries were a big business and everyone wanted a piece of it. Players loved the mercenary business the most, so he might as well do the popular transportation service while doing this. Well, there were all kinds of tasks, but the client became an NPC instead of him.

This is a good idea. Xia Yuan nodded. Now that the goal is clear, we will see if there is an opportunity.

Cavaleliaki won't be able to come back in the short term, and when he comes back next time, he won't be able to bring the Black Knight with him.

Xia Yuan worked as a hammer for two days. During these two days, he mainly repaired the durability of his equipment. He refitted his two revolvers and made a set of lightweight protective clothing for his mace.

Most players have no impression of what Mace wore in his previous life, because Mace rarely appeared in front of players in his previous life. Only players who triggered the Kjerag series of quests had the opportunity to see Mace. As one of the players who traveled all over Terra, Xia Yuan naturally knew what Mace wore.

This is a light black modified military uniform with mechanical shoulder pads that can release electric current and simple knee pads. Well, you can imagine what Jian would look like in this uniform, so heroic.

After getting the clothes sent by Xia Yuan at home, Jian put them on and turned around in front of the mirror. Well, her body felt light and she could move easily. Even though the clothes had mechanical parts, there was no feeling of stagnation and it was very comfortable.

During his last two days in Cavaleliaki, Xia Yuan went to visit his old friends.

At the scary Martin Bar next to Jinyu Avenue, Xia Yuan opened the door and unexpectedly found Zofia from the Lin Guang family drinking a drink.

The commercial of Biliu Knight was playing on TV. The bar was still noisy. Bald Martin invited Xia Yuan to sit down at the bar.

The old knight and the old craftsman looked listless and sighed.

"What's wrong?" Xia Yuan was surprised. Aren't these two usually very energetic? Could it be that they were punished by Zofia?

Bald Martin served wine to Xia Yuan, "The Black Knight is dead."

"what?"

"It was the Commerce Federation and the Helmetless Alliance that took action. The day after the game, someone discovered traces of a fight extending from the arena all the way to the outer city... Humph, that bunch of dirty guys. The news said that a fugitive stole something from the arena but was hunted down by a team from the Commerce Federation and had been brought to justice. What a lie." The old knight cursed.

Zofia sighed softly, she seemed to be remembering the Black Knight.

The old craftsman hammered the bar. "This is also the usual method of the Commercial Federation. Those Ursus swear words!"

"Cheers to a powerful jockey knight." Bald Martin raised his glass and saluted.

"Cheers to a powerful jousting knight." The other three raised their glasses at the same time.

Xia Yuan had a strange look on his face. He smelled a fragrant breeze before he even raised his glass.

"To a powerful jousting knight."

The unfamiliar female voice made the four people who were holding the cup just now look up in confusion. They saw a Caprini woman wearing a decent light black military uniform. She was wearing a mask and a beret, so her face could not be seen clearly. Only her long golden hair could be seen.

"Why are you here?"

"Boss, I'm ready and can leave at any time."

Xia Yuan smiled at the four people with wide eyes, "Jian, take off your masks, these people can be trusted."

Then they saw the person who was holding the memorial ceremony just now appeared alive in front of them. The old knight and the old craftsman were so shocked that their jaws dropped. Their expressions were very interesting. Zofia stared at Xia Yuan with a strange light flashing in her beautiful eyes. Did she hear the black knight call Xia Yuan something like "Boss"?

Bald Martin sighed deeply and gave Xia Yuan a thumbs up. "Today's young people are becoming more and more outstanding. You were able to save the Black Knight from the Chamber of Commerce. That's incredible. Today, I, Old Martin, am in a good mood. I'll buy you a drink."

"Bald Martin invites me to drink? I have to cherish it." Xia Yuan smiled at Jian, "Jian, do you mind having a drink on one of the few nights in Cavalleriachi?"

Jian went forward and sat next to Xia Yuan. The bar was full of five people. She raised her lips and said, "Give me a glass of rum."

"cheers!"

Chapter 43: The Mercy of Fate

Xia Yuan had not touched the weapons on the mace, because his craftsman and blacksmith level was not yet at the level where he could process and forge cold weapons, but he had done his best in terms of armor. Since he did not have a textile secondary profession, the military uniform was a high-end product purchased from the Commercial Federation. It was yellow-quality equipment in itself. After Xia Yuan's mechanical modification and addition, this set of equipment also became green-quality.

As for textile skills, Xia Yuan really doesn't have time to learn them. His goal is not to become a fashion designer. The equipment he makes is still mainly functional and defensive, and aesthetics is secondary.

Opening the panel that had not been touched for a long time, Xia Yuan began to check his data. Just as he opened the property bar, a prompt bar popped up.

[Congratulations on obtaining the copy: [Type-0 Rainy Night Knight]]

What is this? After reading the description carefully, Xia Yuan was surprised to find that it was actually a memory crystal.

In an MMORPG that is becoming more and more vivid and more like the real world, resources are limited. This is the norm in "Ark". After a place's resources are mined out, they can only be replenished after a few months. When Xia Yuan was still a player, a player killed all the Originium bugs in a cave to complete a task. The next person who received the task waited for a long time but did not encounter the Originium bugs that refreshed the stars. This shows that hostile NPCs are limited, just like resources.

So how can you become stronger? In addition to looking for resources on the map, there is another way, which is to buy memory crystals from specific high-level NPCs. Memory crystals are made of Originium. As the name suggests, this crystal contains a memory. Many people call it a copy crystal or a meditation basin.

The method of use is also very simple. After activating the copy crystal, the player will enter the NPC's memories to fight. Players can pick up materials dropped in the battle in a scene similar to a dream. Of course, there will be penalties for death. For players, this is a treasure trove of resources that can be repeatedly refreshed.

For him, he was pleasantly surprised to find that as long as the player team cleared a dungeon once, he could get a share of the experience that the dungeon gave him. Isn't this a constant source of experience?

Although these experiences are like drizzle in the later period, they are absolutely a blessing from heaven for him now.

He took a look and thought that he could sell this copy crystal on his own market...but considering that there were only a small number of copy crystals in the original version of "Ark", Xia Yuan decided to use it as a reward for a certain task. After all, in the previous life, players also obtained copy crystals by completing a series of tasks.

This can strengthen his function as an NPC, and at the same time show the players a side of Xia Yuan's battle that is invisible to them... Players can see his strength and conversation when fighting in the dungeon. He remembers that he said a lot of righteous words. This is undoubtedly a setting improvement for his popularity and strength.

What's more, he and the mace will act together in the future. Players will definitely be curious about this cool big sister whose origin is unknown. How did she know the pioneer? Curiosity is a good thing. Their curiosity means traffic and popularity for Xia Yuan.

In the future, we can consider participating in more decisive battles. If we are lucky and the battles can generate copies, the player stickiness will surely increase.

During this trip to Kazdel, Xia Yuan began to modify his Ranger.

Including a Ranger that was shot and scrapped by the Helmetless Alliance's Blue Gold Assassin, Xia Yuan now has 10 Rangers left. His job now is to remove the Lightning Arrow modules from half of the Rangers and replace them with the submachine gun module that makes him feel at ease - as for why he doesn't use the submachine gun module when dealing with the Helmetless Alliance's assassins, it's because Xia Yuan doesn't want to openly fall out with the Chamber of Commerce.

Now the Chamber of Commerce still thinks that it was some military organization that secretly rescued the Black Knight. If Xia Yuan used a gun, then he would definitely be suspected.

Alas, as a support, I have not trained my support level at all. I am just playing around as a production player. I really don't have the soul of a support.

Well... I can go to the Sarkaz mercenary camp to see if there are any good goods...

Thinking of this, he stood up and patted his head, wondering how he could have forgotten the most important thing. Fortunately, he had not left Casimir yet.

He forgot to buy the slaves!

He is not that kind of *slave. Although Xia Yuan can take off his pants now, he has not yet achieved his ambitions, so how can he have a home?

He remembered that in his previous life, when he was working at Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals, he had read the file of an operator...and that operator happened to have been trafficked to the market.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan stood up and pressed the call button on the wall. "I'm a pioneer. I want to go to the 'market' once. Please find someone to lead the way for me."

Market is a slang term, and its full name is slave market. Xia Yuan had only been here in his previous life... maybe once or twice, but this is the first time in this life. If you want to enter the slave market, you have to complete the tasks of the Chamber of Commerce. After the loyalty points are reached, an event will be triggered. The first time you go to the slave market, you must be led by the staff of the Chamber of Commerce, because this way the customers will not be slaughtered too badly.

Although Xia Yuan knew the entrance to the slave market, he didn't want to be taken advantage of, so he simply asked the Chamber of Commerce to take action.

He went downstairs and got on a commercial vehicle. A bespectacled staff member of the Chamber of Commerce drove him to the outskirts of the city. This place looked very deserted in the morning, but it was the busiest red-light district at night. The two men approached a bar and without saying anything to the owner, they walked straight through the back door on the sticky floor and headed inside.

After going down a few steps, the air here became a little turbid. The bodyguard guarding the door nodded politely to the two and let them pass.

This is the slave market located under the Cavalleria base. Xia Yuan looked to both sides and it looked no different from when he came here in his previous life.

"Dear guest, what kind of slaves do you want? What race of slaves?" The staff of the Chamber of Commerce raised his glasses and asked respectfully.

There is nothing wrong with this question. Some customers have special hobbies and different pursuits for different races. His role is to help Xia Yuan quickly screen out the type he likes and save the customer's time.

Xia Yuan thought for a moment, "Pink hair, Zarak, looks very young."

If Xia Yuan didn't have a halo on his head and looked holy, the staff member would definitely sigh in his heart, wow, this guy has a very unique taste.

In fact, in the past life, there were quite a few forum guys who bought slaves to play with. Of course, some people's habits were a bit weird. Age? The younger the better!

I can only say that I played it while playing Azure Files.

Such players would demand the smallest caliber bullet even if they were dragged out and shot for ten minutes.

The staff was very efficient. He called the person in charge of the slave market and told them Xia Yuan's request. Not long after, they received a reply.

"Dear guest, there are indeed products that suit your type. I will take you there right away."

"No need, show me the way, I'll go by myself."

"Yes."

The staff took Xia Yuan to the intersection and gave her directions.

Xia Yuan didn't know if this was the operator he had seen in the archives in his previous life. Although he had seen her face, the land of Terra was vast and full of wonders. There were pink-haired Zarak, and Miss Lin from Lungmen was also a pink-haired Zarak. But it was obviously impossible for her to be abducted here, because today's Cavaleliaki had not been swallowed up by the sudden sandstorm.

He slowed down and walked to the cage. A young pink-haired girl was shivering in the cage. Her skin was a healthy flesh color and there was a barcode printed on her shoulder. This was her price.

The girl noticed a pair of strange-looking shoes stopped in front of her cage. She raised her head and looked tentatively at the intruder.

She saw a pair of calm golden eyes that showed no emotion.

"What's your name?"

The girl opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but her voice was too weak and her throat was hoarse so she couldn't utter a word.

Seeing that there was business to be done, the shopkeeper nearby immediately came up to her in a fawning manner, "My dear sir, her name is Senomi, she is only 12 years old, and she is considered a rare treasure in our shop. Look at her natural long pink hair, this is not some ordinary dyed hair."

"Hehehe, Master, take a look at her healthy skin, her body is soft and tight, hehehe, she will definitely become your new favorite."

Xia Yuan sighed in his heart, thinking that he was lucky and that he had picked up this opportunity. Originally, this lovely Miss Senomi was his first target. He had maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards the Black Knight at the beginning.

Before, he would eat from the bowl while looking at the pot, but now he holds the bowl with one hand and the pot with the other, taking a bite at each hand, feeling comfortable.

"Can you give me a price?"
