Please charm this NPC

The assistant could not find many clues, and was quickly drained by Ran Wenyu, and Ran Wenyu also mercilessly crossed the river and demolished the bridge, turned his head and left.

From his assistant, Ran Wenyu learned that the entire film crew is temporarily staying at the village head's house, which is the relatively large courtyard in the center of the village, and Xu Xiangqian is naturally there.

Although I really want to come to Xu Xiangqian to "chat about life" right now, but such behavior is a bit abrupt, and it may cause trouble if I start a panic. The "script" that has been emphasized over and over again.

——Since it is the NPC's repeated instructions, maybe there will be some useful discoveries?

With such innocent thoughts in mind, after returning to the room, Ran Wenyu carefully read through the entire script word by word, and then felt a little uncomfortable.

The script is written in great detail, but it is useless except for the shooting process, guest characters and precautions. Apart from being a very successful script, it has no reference value.

After closing the notebook, Ran Wenyu deeply suspected what the hell KP was doing, why he wasted time and energy on such a meaningless place, and even thought about whether to roast the notebook on a candle, see There is no hidden content.

——Yes, in this closed and backward village, it is difficult to get electricity, and the lighting tools used by most families at night are still candles.

Probably because the doubts on his face were too naked. When Ran Wenyu approached the candle with the notebook, KP had no choice but to stop his overexuberant imagination: 【You think too much. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

KP: 【It is just a very common filming script. 】

Ran Wenyu angrily threw the script on the table.

Lying back on the bed again, Ran Wenyu leaned on his arm, quite speechless: "If it's just an ordinary script, why do you have to write it so detailed and thick, and let the NPC tell us over and over again that we must read the script? "

KP smiled slightly: [For the truth.Your identities are [-]th-line starlets, and the purpose of coming here is to film a reality show, not to rack your brains to explore the strange and magical investigators of this village. 】

Ran Wenyu was speechless.

"So, we still have to finish filming the reality show?" He twitched the corner of his mouth.

KP: [Before you face the threat of death, yes. 】

"...All right." Ran Wenyu knew that there was no point in arguing with KP in such a meaningless place, even though he had no interest in reality shows, he still easily put this topic aside.

"By the way!" He suddenly remembered another thing, and sat up with Gulu, "KP, my last module was killed by a black goat cub, and the card was torn, right?"

【Yes. 】KP answered very frankly.

"The old card was torn, so I should use a new character card this time." Ran Wenyu took out his own card, "As far as I know, the Cthulhu myth skill of the new card should be 0 points, but in my On the new card, it shows 7 points, which happened to be the one I got when I ran the group last time, and there is also a column of spells I have learned, and there is still "Shabu Nicholas Sends God Spell." After finishing speaking, he raised his head Looking at the ceiling, he was rather anxious, "Is there a bug?"

【of course not. 】KP's voice is gentle and gentle,【Although you are using a new card, the character card is generated based on you, and the 'rewards' you obtained in the last world are added to yourself, unless your individual life death, otherwise it will not disappear.Therefore, even if a new character card is generated, these inherent attributes will also be reflected on the card, and the new card I created is only slightly fine-tuned according to the professional setting on this basis. 】

Ran Wenyu half understood: "That is to say, whether I tear the card or not in the last module, it doesn't matter much to me, right?"

KP: [Yes.After all, in my mods, it is rare for players to play the same profession.Every time you enter the module, you are a brand new character. Whether you tear the card or not, it doesn't make any sense to you. 】

Ran Wenyu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he couldn't hide his deep disappointment—in fact, he didn't really want those "Cthulhu Mythos skills" that would lower the upper limit of SAN value.

"Speaking of which, the last time I died, apart from the horror of being thrown from a height by a black goat cub, I didn't feel any pain from death. I might as well have been shot." In order to prevent KP from seeing through his disappointment, Ran Wenyu decisively changed the subject again, "Is this your help from KP boss?"

[This can be regarded as a little protection for the players. 】KP's tone is quite loving, 【Experiencing death is not an interesting thing, even if it is fake, it will deal a serious blow to the fragile hearts and souls of human beings.Since you have given me fun, then I will naturally not repay my kindness. 】

"Then what if it's a real death?" Ran Wenyu's eyes flickered, "It didn't meet the standard of entertaining you, and the death when you obliterated it would be so painless?"

KP's voice paused for a moment, and he chuckled: [I will give them perfection. 】

Ran Wenyu with a blank face:? ? ? ? ? ?

KP's earnest explanation: [A life without facing death and embracing death is incomplete. 】

Ran Wenyu: "……………………"

——No, we don’t actually need this kind of consummation, thank you.

Being "scared" by KP, Ran Wenyu finally lost interest in chatting with the other party.Seeing that it was getting late, he simply washed up and went to sleep, recharging his energy and waiting for tomorrow's filming—according to KP's request, he still has to do his duty as a reality show actor.

Probably because of going to bed early, Ran Wenyu woke up earlier the next day.After breakfast, when I strolled to the meeting place mentioned in the script, the other three friends hadn’t arrived yet, only the staff of the film crew were busy: two little assistants ran back and forth to arrange the equipment that needed to be used next. Props; Director Yujie and the bearded photographer are gesticulating, probably discussing the angle of framing and shooting; while Xu Xiangqian, who is still wearing a white coat, stands alone with his chest crossed, looking quite bored.

Ran Wenyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly leaned over.

Noticing Ran Wenyu's arrival, Xu Xiangqian turned to look at him, showing a gentle smile: "Mr. Ran, good morning."

"Good morning, Doctor Xu." Ran Wenyu nodded to him and greeted him in the same tone.

Just when the two sides greeted each other in such a polite and polite manner, Ran Wenyu had already cheekily rubbed up to Xu Xiangqian's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

Looking sideways, he felt that Xu Xiangqian didn't seem to reject his approach. Ran Wenyu relaxed his mind a little, and tried to find out the other party's tone: "I heard that this village is Dr. Xu's hometown?"

"Yes." Xu Xiangqian said calmly, and briefly talked about his origin with this village, which was basically the same as what Ran Wenyu heard from his assistant last night.

"So, does Dr. Xu know where his father lived before? How about taking me there after the filming is over? I'm quite curious." Ran Wenyu didn't believe what Dr. Xu said, and peeped at Xu Xiangqian's expression as he spoke. What an unnatural place.

Xu Xiangqian shrugged his shoulders: "Unfortunately, when my father left the village, in order to get enough travel expenses, he had already resold his property in the village to other villagers. Almost 30 years have passed, and there is no trace left by my father. Well, the house is also occupied by other people, so I don't want to bother you."

Xu Xiangqian's every move was quite natural, and Ran Wenyu couldn't see any way to do it himself, so he could only resort to even more unreliable psychology.

KP: [You feel that Xu Xiangqian's attitude is very calm, with a touch of helplessness and relief in his tone. 】

Ran Wenyu listened to the feedback given by KP, thought about his own psychological points, and decisively decided to understand everything in reverse—in this way, this Xu Xiangqian was indeed even more suspicious!

KP: 【…………………………】

— No, that's not how psychology works.

Although Ran Wenyu doubted Xu Xiangqian from what he saw, Xu Xiangqian responded to his insinuations without revealing any flaws.And this kind of feeling that you obviously think there is something wrong with him, but you don't know what is wrong with him, made Ran Wenyu involuntarily think of another person - Arthur from the previous mod.

Could it be...Xu Xiangqian, like Asham, is also a special NPC arranged by KP who usually does not affect the main plot, but is responsible for guiding investigators when he is stuck?And if you look at it in this way, maybe he shouldn't pay too much attention to Xu Xiangqian, so as not to put the cart before the horse.

Thinking wildly like this, Ran Wenyu and Xu Xiangqian chatted wildly, and soon they waited for their new teammates.

The three of them didn't seem to be sleeping well, especially Cheng Yuan, whose dark circles could hardly be covered by foundation, and was scolded by the female director for a long time.

——When encountering such a thing, the only person who can sleep well at night is Ran Wenyu's hopelessly rough nerves.Recalling the sleepless nights of the last module buddies, Ran Wenyu said that he understood very well.However, his radiant appearance is not so friendly in the eyes of his teammates who are suffering from fear and insomnia.

Han Qiang snorted coldly at him, the sign of repelling vigilance was obvious, even Wu Yongtuo and Cheng Yuan just stood not far away and greeted casually, without any intention of approaching.

Ran Wenyu touched the bridge of his nose, feeling that his performance in integrating into the small group was a bit bad this time.Perhaps, he shouldn't say so directly that this is the second time he has experienced the running game.

In the previous module, all four of them were newcomers. Everyone had the same starting point, so it was easier to clear up the barriers and keep warm.

As for this module, Ran Wenyu exposed the difference between himself and the other three as soon as he came up. Although he thought that he explained the situation clearly and made it easier for his new teammates to grasp the status quo, but he obviously did not consider the complexity of people's hearts. .

"If you are not of my race, your heart must be different", this sentence deeply exposes the xenophobia of human beings.If Ran Wenyu and his teammates were "the same kind" in the last module, then he is obviously "heterogeneous" in the eyes of the new teammates now.

Because of his difference, it is not incomprehensible that new teammates will be wary of him. However, this puts Ran Wenyu in a very awkward and somewhat dangerous situation.

In the multiplayer mode, it is definitely not a correct decision to act as a lone hero. Maybe a joke-like "failure" by the dice goddess can make investigators fall into a deadlock and be caught off guard—and no one I can guarantee that every shot I make will be successful.

Therefore, the cooperation between companions is extremely important, and it is also forbidden to secretly conceal an important clue and not share it with teammates—even, at this point, a game called "Secret Group" has been derived. The investigators each have secrets that cannot be treated by outsiders, and even have opposing identities and positions, while KP laughs at the intrigue and mutual harm between the investigators.

In short, if Ran Wenyu cannot be accepted by his new teammates and has been excluded from the small group, it will be very detrimental to him.Therefore, while shooting the reality show and investigating the main line of the module, he also needs to worry about how to make other people relax their vigilance and believe that he is harmless.

—It's really balding.

Perhaps, for the next module, he should learn the lesson of this time, and it would be better to pretend to be a newcomer.
