Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

"Take some time off for a rest. After spending the New Year here, we will head to Victoria, where there is business I want to discuss."

He noticed that Senomi was looking at him cautiously. Xia Yuan glanced at the food on the table and gently touched her head. "Eat, eat. You are my maid secretary. It's not good to be hungry."

"Okay, thank you Master."

"...I always feel that calling you master is a bit weird."

"Why, the master is the master?"

Being looked at with such innocent eyes, Xia Yuan couldn't stand it and waved his hands, "Forget it, call me whatever you want."

Mace smiled, but her face soon turned serious. "Victoria does not seem to be stable. Many residents in the town are dissatisfied with the rule of law established by the Victorian government. The happiness index of the people under the aristocratic exploitation system will not be high."

Xia Yuan nodded, his eyes looking out the window into the distance, "This is exactly why I went to Victoria."

"Don't worry, I won't get involved in any trouble. At most, I will help those who need to be helped and save the lives that need to be saved. I won't have anything to do with official forces."

"But as a Sakta, you went to the Sarkaz's base camp."

Xia Yuan laughed, "Aren't you here?"

Chapter 60: Familiar Faces

Shopping is women's nature. Senomi and Muirseth were very interested in Longmen's commercial shops, so Xia Yuan let them go. As for Sister Jian Yu, he asked her to stay by Senomi's side to protect her safety.

Xia Yuan did not participate in the shopping activity. Anyway, he gave his card to Muirseth, and she could use it however she wanted. After having morning tea, the four of them separated temporarily. Xia Yuan had her own things to do.

He took the train in the Dragon Gate and came from the Upper City to the Hollywood District.

This is Longmen's university town, and also the place with the strongest learning atmosphere in Longmen. As soon as Xia Yuan got off the bus, he saw a lot of students playing and talking to each other. They were about the same age as Xia Yuan, but they looked like they were from two different worlds.

There are many universities in Longmen, most of which are closely related to finance and economics. Universities in each region are also different due to the traditions of each region, and universities in different regions also focus on different types of subjects for study and research.

Da Yan has developed finance and trade, and there are many finance and trade departments in its universities. Columbia has developed science and technology, and there are many scientific research projects in its universities. Victoria is a military country, and all the universities there are military academies.

Xia Yuan remembered that in his previous life he was able to find a side job as an engineer here.

Engineer is a sub-class that can be unlocked by all classes. It is a production class and also a class in Korshir. The Engineer class allows players to have the ability to build electronic devices - including but not limited to small electronic terminals, digital equipment and furniture. It also allows players to become a network hacker and conduct some illegal activities.

At first glance, it seems very similar to the Mechanic, but Xia Yuan's current method of making the Patrol move is still relying on the moving joystick on his arm. If he wants to control all mechanical movements with a thought, he must add a remote communication module to them, and unlocking this module requires the engineer secondary profession.

As for the screen on the arm, it was also the work of the engineer, but he bought it from the market.

This profession complements the Mechanic, but is also unique in its own right. In the later stages, you will encounter many enemies equipped with electronic equipment. If there is an engineer in the team, you can easily hack into the opponent's equipment and render it scrapped.

Not to mention that engineers can master more power structures and sketches, which will give him more options to roll the map, and also represent more options to burn money. But as long as he rolls the blueprint, he can hammer out the core of the mobile city!

This is the confidence of an engineer.

Among many universities, Longmen University of Technology is definitely unique. Most of the students studying here are from all over Dayan and nearby countries. After learning survival methods and skills here, they will return to their own countries to work. Some students will stay in Longmen and contribute to Longmen.

The method of entering the university was very convenient. As a Sakota and a messenger, his favorability points with most national forces were positive. After he expressed his desire to apply to this university next year to the security guard, the security guard generously invited him to visit the school.

He naturally went through a security check when entering the school gate. He was not carrying any weapons, and his revolver and mechanical power device were left in the hotel. He wore casual clothes when going out today to make himself look younger.

However, given his age, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him entering campus as a college student next year.

After pretending to tour the campus, Xia Yuan came to the library. He found a quiet corner and began to flip through the nearby books.

There is another way to acquire knowledge in college, and that is to attend classes in person, but Xia Yuan doesn't want to be so conspicuous. If he were from another race, it would be fine, but if he, a Sakota, stepped into the classroom, the students in the last row would probably be unable to open their eyes.

The library is a good place. Not long after, Xia Yuan found a book called "Analysis of Engineering Principles" in the library and began to flip through the pages.

[You are currently studying, intelligence assessment, talent assessment, current progress 2%]

......

When it was time for lunch, Xia Yuan closed the book and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

[You obtain a new secondary occupation [Entry-level Engineer], Intelligence +2, and gain 1 free attribute point]

[You have acquired a new feature, [Primary Industrial Understanding]]

After all the experience contributed by the players in the Novice Town was poured into the Entry Engineer, the Entry Engineer became Lv10, which brought him +1 Dexterity +1 Intelligence and 10 free attribute points, and he learned and upgraded [Primary Industrial Manufacturing] Lv10.

A lot of industrial creations have been added to the blueprints he can roll. In the future, he can spend a lot of money to explore the blueprints and compete for luck to get the blueprint of the core of the mobile city.

As for the promotion career book for entry-level engineers, Xia Yuan hasn't found it for the time being. He will try his luck in the afternoon.

"Um...Have you finished reading this book?"

A weak female voice came from the side. Xia Yuan turned his body and found a girl who was shorter than him looking at the book in his hand.

Her hair is black and white, a rare two-tone hair that looks fluffy. Her orange eyes blink, and her body language, with her hands protectively held in front of her, reveals her slightly weak personality.

Judging from her appearance, she seems to be a student, and should be about the same age as Xia Yuan... But he couldn't make a rash guess, after all, there were people on the land of Terra who had lived for hundreds of years and still looked young.

"Are you a student of this school?" Xia Yuan said as he handed the book to the girl.

"Ah...no."

The girl shook her head slightly and pleaded softly, "I often come here to read books... Big brother, please don't tell the librarian."

She seemed to have misunderstood Xia Yuan as a student of this school. She pleaded pitifully, and her orange eyes began to moisten.

Xia Yuan sighed. He also sneaked in to read a book. Why would he report such a thing for no reason?

Seeing her like this, Xia Yuan didn't have the heart to tease her, and immediately raised his hand to prove his innocence, "I'm not a student of this school either. I'm just here to visit the school this time, and I won't tell the librarian, don't worry."

"Thank you." The girl thanked him sincerely.

Xia Yuan curiously asked, "At your age, you seem to be in high school, right?"

"...Yes."

The girl seemed a little embarrassed to mention this, "It's just that I'm interested in these mechanical engineering, so I often come here to study."

"My name is Xia Yuan, what's your name?"

The girl opened her mouth, looking a little shy.

Xia Yuan didn't know if it was because of his own charm that the young girl was speechless, or if it was just her personality. He smiled and said, "If you don't want to tell me your name... well, why not tell me your code name, or your nickname is fine."

The girl thought for a moment and said softly, "...Snow Pheasant."

Xia Yuan was in a trance for a moment, as if he had heard this name somewhere before, but he still couldn't remember it... Maybe it was a less important character in a certain plot, or maybe he had dealt with him in business.

He smiled softly at the girl, "I didn't expect you to be interested in engineering. I also like engineering and hope to become an engineer in the future."

"Really? Senior Xia Yuan thinks so too?"

Xuezhi was surprised and delighted. When she talked about her interests, she showed a unique vitality and charm. She whispered and talked about her little inventions. Xia Yuan smiled and agreed with her, and also pointed out her own opinions on some points, which made Xuezhi feel a warm feeling of having found a soulmate.

"I heard that the cafeteria at Longmen University of Technology has plenty of food. Why don't we discuss this while we eat?"

Xia Yuan invited Xue Zhi.

Xuezhi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then she shook her head and laughed, "Um... I've already eaten before, ahaha."

Not long after she finished speaking, the Snow Pheasant's stomach made a sound like in an anime - gulp~

She groaned and buried her head in her chest, her face slightly red.

Xia Yuan guessed her family background from her clothes and smiled, "Even if I'm treating you to this meal, you can treat me back next time."

"Okay, Senior Xia Yuan...it's a deal."

Snow Pheasant raised his head seriously and made the agreement.

Everyone can see her passion for her hobbies. During the meal, Xia Yuan and Xue Zhi were still talking about engineering, but Xia Yuan talked more.

Engineers and mechanics are similar, and some of their knowledge is similar. Xia Yuan shared the "mechanical dynamics" and "mechanical engineering" knowledge that he boasted about when he was in Rhine Life. For a moment, Xuezhi was fascinated by it, and his pair of big orange, talking eyes sparkled with a different kind of spirit.

"So impressive... Senior Xia Yuan, you know so much. You must be a top student from some university, right?"

Snow Pheasant said admiringly.

At this point, Xia Yuan felt a little embarrassed. Christen had urged him to study for a doctorate at Tremont Polytechnic University, probably for this kind of occasion. If he pretended to have a doctorate in engineering, wouldn't that be like pretending to be a good B? Unfortunately, he didn't have that, so he could only smile modestly.

"What are Xuezhi's future plans?"

Although the two of them have nothing in common and are not even students of the same school, Xuezhi still calls Xia Yuan "senior" because of Xia Yuan's rich engineering knowledge, and Xia Yuan also shamelessly calls her "junior". What a wonderful relationship.

"I...I'm going to apply for a scholarship to Longmen University of Technology and then...go to Columbia. I want to become a researcher and specialize in engineering."

Xuezhi noticed that Xia Yuan's golden eyes suddenly lit up with joy. She was a little scared and asked tentatively, "Um...Senior Xia Yuan?"

"Nothing, just thinking of something happy." Xia Yuan smiled, "I will stay in Longmen for a while. As a fellow student who is also interested in engineering, let's exchange contact information."

"OK, all right!"

Xuezhi agreed without thinking. She was sincerely happy for herself that she had met a senior in the library who was so nice to her, who listened to her inventions patiently and gave her advice, and who had a deep understanding of engineering.

After finishing their meal, Xia Yuan and Xue Zhi continued to talk and laugh as they walked towards the library. Then it was time for the two of them to study separately. However, Xia Yuan was disappointed that there were no books on career advancement for entry-level engineers. Continuing to read would only increase experience, which was much less than the experience gained from hammering iron.

Before the sunset, the two ended their trip to the library. Xia Yuan and Xue Zhi came to the school gate. Xue Zhi shyly waved to Xia Yuan, then bowed in gratitude, "Xia Yuan, thank you."

"If you have any ideas for small inventions, please share them with me." Xia Yuan nodded his head and smiled.

Xuezhi smiled and nodded. She bowed again and left quickly.

If there is a chance, I would invite Senior Xia Yuan to my home to show him my little invention... I wonder if my grandmother would agree to this... This is the first time she has invited a friend home as a guest.

Xia Yuan noticed that Xuezhi was leaving for the lower city area. Without saying anything more, he boarded the train to the upper city area.

Upper City District and Lower City District, one in the south and one in the north, represent the difference in status and position.

The train suddenly stopped strangely halfway through its journey. The inertia caused by the brakes almost caused Xia Yuan to slide off her seat into the arms of another muscular man. The passengers complained with dissatisfaction, and the broadcast sounded at this time.

"There is an emergency ahead, please wait patiently--"

Before the broadcast was finished, Xia Yuan saw through the glass a crossbow arrow flew past the side of the train and pierced into the ground.

Emma, ​​what's going on, GTA?

The train door opened automatically, and Xia Yuan got off the train alone. To be honest, he was not fit for combat now. He had no weapons with him, and the only mechanical device he had was the wrist guard on his arm. Apart from providing some defense, it did not provide him with any effective means of attack.

On the viaduct ahead, sirens were blaring and police cars were blocking the bridge. The people who were trapped had masks on their faces and held crossbows and knives in their hands, looking like players in Payday 2 who had just robbed a bank.

"It's the Longmen Guard Bureau. They are on a mission."

"Someone's hurt! Run!"

"Go to a sheltered area, hurry up and get on the train to hide!"

The people who got off the train immediately became a mess, but under the loud orders of the conductor they returned to the train and waited for the results of the Longmen Guard Bureau's handling.

Among the passengers who boarded the bus was one person, Sakota.

Xia Yuan did come under the viaduct. There was a staircase leading directly to the viaduct. He walked up quickly and at a corner, he found a female Guard with a shoulder injury and blood at the corner of her mouth.

The wound was not bandaged and was still bleeding.

Xia Yuan was not a medical professional, but the most basic task of bandaging a wound did not require any medical skills. Under the gaze of the young woman, he tore off a piece of her clothing and began to bandage her. During this time, the woman gritted her teeth and did not say a word.

This female member of the Longmen Guard Bureau has long red hair and a pair of beautiful blue eyes.

Chapter 61: Concerned Citizens

"Who are you, and what are you doing here as a commoner of the Sakota race?"

The female member of the Longmen Guard Bureau spoke through gritted teeth, her speech intermittent because of the pain she felt while bandaging the wound. She stared at Xia Yuan with her blue eyes, obviously waiting for an explanation.

"I am a tourist who came here for the New Year. I came to visit the university town today. I didn't expect to encounter something like this on my way home."

Xia Yuan glanced at the injuries on the female team member's body... Well, at least the bleeding had stopped. Although he was not a medical profession, he did a good job.

"What happened up there? Did someone really use a crossbow and attack the police in Longmen City?"

After checking his injuries, he stood up and walked towards the stairs. The next moment, his hand was grabbed by a female team member, "Don't go. Some of them are infected."

Xia Yuan retracted her steps and looked at the female team member. She took a breath and said, "As a member of the Longmen Guard Bureau, the advice I can give you is to leave here immediately."

"What's your code name?"

He squatted down and looked at the beautiful woman who was wearing the protective clothing of the Guard Bureau, and spoke in a casual tone.
