Ark, I became an NPC in the online game

Seeing this, Xia Yuan immediately became interested. He had never played the copy he created, so he might as well take a look at the current progress of the players' strategies.

Clicking into the video, there are over 90 people watching online. The first thing you hear is the deep and magnetic voice of Magic ZX.

"This is a war song written for two people who fought side by side in the rainy night. It is a question of Casimir's chivalry. The Black Knight, alone, dressed in black and holding a long sword, cuts a golden road to the arena in the rainy night. The Pioneer emits golden light in the dark night, clearing all obstacles for the Black Knight."

"Type-1.0 Rainy Night Knight is the latest extremely difficult 24-player group dungeon in version . The overall battle process is long, the mechanism is complex and intensive, and there is a certain amount of DPS and healing pressure."

"This time, the strategy is for the Trail Blazers and the Black Knights. At the beginning, we are born in the apartment. After the countdown, we leave the apartment in advance and run down the stairs from the other side. At this time, the 24-man team is divided into two teams of 12 people, represented by Team A and Team B. The minimum requirement for Team A is to have two tanks follow the Black Knights to advance into the sewer, while Team B needs to take a detour from the other side to enter the building opposite the apartment. We call Team B the special agent team here because they need to help us deal with the enemy in secret."

Hearing this, even Xia Yuan became interested. After all, this copy did not exist in his previous life - nonsense, if he did not exist in his previous life, where did this copy come from?

He knew that the world within the dungeon could be explored freely, so there were countless strategies, and it was fun to take on a new challenge every time.

The strategy given by the Dynasty team is that Team A follows the Black Knight, with two tanks standing in front of the Black Knight, and the mage behind them releases Originium skills in the air, making it impossible for the killers in the building who can only shoot cold arrows to hide. They will also become targets of the guard players, who will break through the defense of the first floor and reach the second floor to kill the killers, and the healer must keep the blood volume of the tank healthy at all times.

Team B is in the dark, also in the building opposite the apartment - Magic ZX mentioned that there is an assassin in the building opposite who can release explosive arrows. If he succeeds in hitting the target, the Black Knight will lose a lot of health and may not be able to complete the subsequent mechanism.

Team B advanced in the dark in another building. In this terrain, the warlock could not use Originium skills because a slight vibration would cause the entire building to collapse.

Magic ZX appropriately released a scene where a building collapsed and everyone was wiped out. "If you feel sorry for us, deduct 1, and give us a one-click triple combo, okay?"

The assassin who uses explosive arrows is at an elite level and is no different from a mini-boss to the player. Magic ZX even mentioned several solutions to the mechanism, including throwing oil barrels in the building to detonate the elite assassin when he releases explosive arrows to interrupt his skills, and having the T start defensive skills and take the explosion so that the explosion can affect the elite assassin.

After getting rid of this elite assassin, the two teams A and B finally reunited. The Black Knight's health was very healthy, 87%.

"Awesome! We've already passed the first stage like this?"

"Fuck you, sir. The Dynasty team is too strong. It's only been a short time since the dungeon was released, and they've already found a solution for the first stage?"

"← Are the Dynasty team kidding you? Dynasty team + Teacher ZX + a bunch of top players, to be honest, this speed is not surprising at all."

"Wow, I don't know how the masters came up with this solution. They actually thought of splitting into two teams. There is no hint in this dungeon!"

Comments such as "bow down and kowtow" appeared one after another in the barrage.

Xia Yuan was also amazed. To be honest, this solution looked really awesome, but it required a lot of teamwork. But when he thought that this was a solution thought up by a bunch of professional players and high-level players in the strategy group, it didn't seem that surprising.

The screen went black, and the magnetic voice of Magic ZX sounded again.

"The Black Knight dodged the exploding arrows. The floor shook and we were forced to fall into the underground waterway. More assassins greeted us in the dark waterway. The requirement here is that the Black Knight's health cannot be less than 60%. There are enemies in front and behind us... We are still working on this stage."

As the words fell, the screen lit up again.

At the end of the dark waterway, a golden glow appeared.

Two familiar drones appeared in the sky. Aren't these the Pathfinders sold by Pioneer? However, they seemed to be a little different. The Pathfinders were not that big.

"——Black Knight, it's me."

A faint golden light illuminated the entire sewer. The players of the Dynasty team who entered the sewer for the first time saw a Sakota with a golden halo on his head. He emerged from the shadows wearing a black coat with white as the main color. They couldn't help but shout in surprise.

I didn’t expect that the Trail Blazers would show up so early, and just as it was written in the forces, the Trail Blazers and the Black Knights are in the same group.

This may also explain why the Black Knight and the Trailblazer acted together, because the Trailblazer helped the Black Knight in his desperate situation.

"My god, this equipment of the Trail Blazers is so cool. I wish I could wear it!"

"The Trail Blazers are so handsome, so handsome, so handsome, so handsome. I'm wet down there, what should I do? Guys, who understands?"

"Fate God, my fate God! Fate God is about to start!"

Both the players present and the audience watching the video were in a frenzy at this moment. They met the familiar NPC as they wished. The pioneer who appeared in the copy and was drenched by the rain had a hint of sharpness, and his golden eyes seemed to be burning. No one could deny that the pioneer who appeared here at this moment was really handsome!

The Black Knight's health was maintained with the help of players. They could already imagine how many explosive arrows the Black Knight had to withstand before he could hide in the sewer. When he was injured, he met the Trailblazer, who came to his aid.

The next mechanism of magic ZX's explanation was not as familiar as the first stage. It was obvious that they were also in the process of challenging it. However, there was one good thing about the dungeon crystal. Each dungeon crystal had two hours of dungeon time for players to play. During these two hours, if you passed the first stage and came to the second stage but were wiped out, you can skip the first stage and start the second stage directly when you resurrect and challenge the dungeon again.

This undoubtedly saves players a lot of time.

The end of the video is still the clip where Magic ZX and others were wiped out. You can see that the Dynasty team came to the empty square underground, and the Dynasty team was soon shot in the vitals by assassins who appeared from all directions and died.

"Are the requirements for the second phase of the attack too high? Do we need 8 tanks to defend 8 positions?"

"No, there should be an optimal solution. Eight tanks have no damage. Didn't they say there is a DPS check?"

"Very cool, @group members are already watching it, very good guide, love comes from porcelain, League of Legends."

The players gave unanimous praise to this solution. Even Xia Yuan thought that the Dynasty team played very beautifully. If he had an account, he would probably give him a one-click triple combo.

In addition to the strategy of the Dynasty team, the Warrior team also has its own strategy. They are also attacking the second stage every day, hoping to pass the level as soon as possible and get the rewards so that they can cut down trees and get equipment.

But they don’t know that the equipment drops in this copy do not always appear. “Ark” adopts a mechanism of refreshing the CD once a week.

It's like going to jail once a week.

Chapter 63 I just want to ask if you have such shareholders?

Teacher ZX's original job was to make strategy videos. In the first two episodes, he made stories about the Trailblazers and the Black Knights, which was a small detour from his job. However, there are comments urging him to continue updating stories about the Trailblazers below this video. I hope he can continue to update stories about the Trailblazers.

Magic ZX had no choice but to place them in the camp temporarily without taking them away. Although their levels and experience points increased rapidly, after all, there were many opportunities to use skills to gain experience points every day, but they still missed their destiny.

Over the past few months on Terra, many Sarkaz players have come from afar to join the camp. In order to accommodate more residents, Ursula has expanded the area of ​​the town. At the same time, she is also gathering supplies and preparing to evacuate at any time.

Mobile cities have to take shelter in time when encountering natural disasters, and this shelter is not a mobile city, let alone being able to move. The defensive walls are blown down by natural disasters, which forces Ursula to start planning for retreat.

While Kazdel was eating sand and dirt, Xia Yuan spent the New Year comfortably in Longmen. He took the train to the lower city with a lot of fruits and gifts in his hands. In his previous life, one had to bring gifts when visiting elders. Dayan in Terra also had this custom. What's more, Xia Yuan wanted to abduct the grandmother's precious granddaughter, so naturally he had to leave a good impression in front of her.

Xuezhi and her grandmother lived in the lower city, which was very close to the slums, but there were patrolmen guarding the intersection between the two districts, and the only way to pass was with a certificate. Ordinary people were still afraid of the infected, fearing that the Originium particles on their bodies would appear on their bodies one day, and the Dragon Gate officials also kept a blind eye to this.

Most of the people living in Xiacheng District are elderly residents of Longmen, and there are also many migrant workers from other places.

Arriving at the downtown area, Xia Yuan suddenly felt like he had arrived at Hong Kong in China. Residential buildings were crowded together, and broken-light signs were hung on both sides of the narrow streets. Small vendors were playing cards and chatting on both sides of the street. To be honest, it had a bit of the flavor of Night City.

"Young man, who are you looking for?"

The old man playing cards rubbed his eyes and shouted.

"I'm here to visit Xuezhi's house." Xia Yuan said with a smile.

The old man's eyes were blurry. "Xue Zhi? Is there a person called Xue Zhi here?"

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Xue Zhi was a code name, not her real name, so he described Xue Zhi's appearance, especially mentioned her furry two-color long hair, and then the old man came to his senses and gave him guidance.

"Take good care of that girl!" the old man shouted hoarsely, "You must be happy!"

It's like he's coming to ask for marriage.

After turning a few corners, Xia Yuan saw the Snow Pheasant running. It seemed that she was afraid that Xia Yuan would get lost here, so she wanted to go to the entrance and bring Xia Yuan in, but Xia Yuan was a step too fast.

"Ah, Senior Xia Yuan!"

Xuezhi smiled softly and took a few steps forward, "Senior Xia Yuan, you're here so quickly."

"This place is like a maze. I almost got lost."

"...Senior Xia Yuan is not lost, did he ask for directions?"

"Yes, there are a few old men sitting at the entrance playing cards."

As they were talking, they walked into the apartment building. Xuezhi's home had one bedroom and one living room, where she and her grandmother lived, with her grandmother sleeping alone in the bedroom. Xuezhi converted a small half of the living room into her studio, and slept on a simple folding bed.

Xuezhi's grandmother was in high spirits. She stood at the door with a smile to greet Xia Yuan and the slightly shy Xuezhi. She welcomed them into the house. Xia Yuan handed over the gift she had bought. The old woman sighed a few times and said something like "You are such a polite child", but finally accepted the gift.

Then she smiled kindly at Xuezhi and walked down the stairs with the basket.

"My grandma does aerobics at this time every day...and then goes to the market to buy food." Xuezhi whispered.

Xia Yuan nodded and looked towards Xuezhi's studio. "This is really..."

"...These are tools I bought from the recycling station. They do look a bit old." Xuezhi put his hands behind his back, looking as nervous as a student being visited by his teacher.

“This is really luxurious.”

"...Eh?"

The snow pheasant made a sound that was somewhat off the mark.

Xia Yuan walked up and stroked the old workbench. "The tools are very complete, everything they need. The materials are indeed a bit scarce. If I were to rate this studio, I would give it nine out of ten."

"What a high score... I feel like I don't deserve nine points."

Snow Pheasant said softly.

Xia Yuan shook his head. "This is the first workshop for everyone who is interested in engineering machinery and firearms."

"I lost my father when I was young, and the only thing I was interested in was guns." Xia Yuan picked up a screwdriver and played with it in his hand. "My first studio was also at home, but it was much messier than here... I had to buy all the tools because there were few recycling stations where I lived."

Xue Zhi lowered his head after hearing this, and after a while he whispered, "I'm sorry."

"Apologize for what?"

"Because...because..."

The girl tried awkwardly to express her apology after hearing that Xia Yuan had no parents, and she didn't know how to apologize for a moment.

Seeing this, Xia Yuan rubbed her fluffy hair and said in a gentle voice, "Don't feel sorry for this. You didn't do anything wrong. Everyone's fate is completely different. Everyone is born unequal. I won't complain about this. I will only work hard towards my own path in life."

"...Um."

Xuezhi wiped the corners of her eyes. Xia Yuan smiled bitterly and handed her paper. This junior girl had a weak personality, but her eyes were so bright and dazzling when she talked about her dreams.

Such a snow pheasant is dazzling.

Xuezhi quickly wiped away her tears and lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, but under Xia Yuan's guidance, she soon began to talk enthusiastically about her little inventions - this was also the original intention of Xuezhi to invite Xia Yuan here.

As the sun set, the old woman pushed open the door with vegetables in her hand and walked briskly. She glanced at the two people sitting on a small stool discussing happily, and with a smile on her face, she went to the kitchen to start cooking.

Today's dinner is Dayan's home-cooked meal. This meal really makes Xia Yuan taste the flavor of home, a taste that cannot be tasted by eating any amount of delicacies from restaurants.

The happy time passed quickly. As it got dark, the grandmother asked Xuezhi to take Xia Yuan downstairs. The sound of footsteps on the stairs made the girl become her usual weak self again.

"Will you study at Longmen University of Technology in the future, Xuezhi?"

"It would be great if I could." Xuezhi smiled, as if she was looking forward to a bright future. "...Money is the most important thing. Since I am not yet an adult, I can only work part-time every day, and I may not be able to raise enough money for college tuition."

The two came downstairs. Xia Yuan turned to look at the girl standing under the light and suddenly said, "I can help you."

"...Huh?"

The snow pheasant was startled.

Xia Yuan hesitated for a moment, "But I need you to say in person, 'Senior Xia Yuan, please help me' before I agree."

"Why...why?"

"Because I see my past self in you." Xia Yuan said frankly, "That is the shadow of someone who had no money but was fighting for his dream."

"As for that sentence... Xuezhi, everyone has difficulties and needs help. You might as well call for help around you at this time." Xia Yuan smiled, "I believe there must be kind-hearted people who will help Xuezhi."

Xuezhi stared at Xia Yuan blankly, his lips trembling slightly for a while, and he said softly: "Senior Xia Yuan, please help me."

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

Here it comes, triggering the mission... Xia Yuan said so much not only because he wanted Xuezhi to become more confident and rely more on others, but also because he naturally wanted to trigger Xuezhi's personal mission.

When I was a player, hearing an NPC say "Please help me" was usually the beginning of a triggered quest, and Xia Yuan tried the same thing on Snow Pheasant.

Unexpectedly, it was a C-level mission, and a series of missions... This meant that Xue Zhi would need his help in many stages in the future.

[Mission details: You saw a shadow of your past in Xuezhi. She is so passionate about engineering. When she talked about engineering, her eyes were shining. However, she has no money and no connections in the huge Longmen. Perhaps it is the sparkle in her eyes that attracted you. You decided to help her so that she can take a step towards her dream.]

[Task requirements: Xuezhi successfully enters an industrial university (unfinished)

(Not unlocked)]

[Reward: 20000 experience points]

Xia Yuan smiled slightly after reading the content. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the task requirements. If Xue Zhi really went to Longmen University of Technology, the relationship between the two might be interrupted for a while in the future. After all, Xia Yuan would not stay in Longmen permanently.

"Snow Pheasant, I remember you like Columbia very much?"

"Oh... yes! I really like the research atmosphere in Columbia and want to save money to continue my studies in Columbia's graduate school after college."

Xuezhi spoke softly, her words becoming more and more fluent. It seemed that she had been planning this for a long time, and she seemed to have something to say that she couldn't help but speak out.

"I have a channel in Columbia." Xia Yuan didn't finish his words. "I have a few friends in Columbia who graduated from Tremont Polytechnic University. I can introduce them to you. If the conversation goes well, they can write a letter of recommendation for you."

To enter university, you need a letter of recommendation written by a high school teacher, and a letter of recommendation from a former alumni carries much more weight than a letter from a high school teacher. What is presented to Xuezhi is a road leading to her dream. At this moment, her dream is so close to her.
