Chapter 644: Does this count as a deposit?
If the weird long neck had nothing to do with her being an NPC, it is highly likely that this woman would not be so persistent in getting players to complete this single-player side quest, even at the expense of the main storyline.
This is indeed an opportunity for players who enter this copy to pass the level directly in one step.
It is equally tempting to Qin Shang.
So it is logical to infer that Qin Shang does not believe that the other party is providing him with unconditional and free help.
It is only a reasonable transaction if the exchange of benefits can satisfy the balance on the scale.
No one in this world is a fool.
If you feel like you're getting a huge bargain in any transaction, you should be wary.
Because behind this huge bargain, there is most likely a trap.
In a transaction, if the chips of both parties are not equal and there is a possibility that one party will take serious advantage, then the probability is that there is no real chance for you to take advantage, but two possible results.
Or in this transaction, some of your bargaining chips have invisible benefits that you are not even aware of and are valued by the other party.
Or maybe in this transaction, the other party has dug a pit in advance and is waiting for you to jump in.
The reason why she cares so much about the outcome of this single-player side quest is definitely because she is also somewhat involved in this outcome.
All Qin Shang could think of was that there might be a connection between the strange long neck and her becoming an NPC...
"Are you a player from Wu Shiqi's camp?"
The next moment, the dean did not answer Qin Shang's words, but suddenly stopped halfway through his walk.
Only then did Qin Shang come to his senses and realized that he had actually walked very deep into the corridor following the woman. While saying these words, he turned around and scanned the area behind him with a flashlight, but he could no longer see the old woman who had just been mopping the floor with the corpse.
Hearing this, Qin Shang pursed his lips, then turned back to look at the dean.
"Ok!"
He knew that the matter concerning his camp...could not be kept secret.
Because I had just been exposed unintentionally.
As an NPC who will not be refreshed, she must know the main tasks of the two camps in the confrontation dungeon. For example, the monastery camp is to find out the secret of Wu Shiqi, while the Wu Shiqi camp is to determine the cause of Wu Shiqi's death.
And I just suddenly asked, "Do you know the cause of Wu Shiqi's death?"
In fact, he has indirectly exposed himself, that is, the matter of the players in Wu Shiqi's camp.
This is why the dean's tone suddenly became playful when he heard that sentence.
"Find out the reason for the strange birth and call my pager."
"I will come to you and tell you the conclusion of the main mission of Wu Shiqi's camp."
The woman said no more nonsense.
After a brief trial, both of them realized that the other was not an easy person to deal with. Although Qin Shang's level might not be good enough in the eyes of the dean who was once a "developer", his brain was indeed quick.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to pass such a demanding interview.
I guess she was the one who activated the sonic weapon in the corridor that could cause hallucinations...
Because Qin Shang saw that the woman in front of him walked to a door and stopped, then raised her hand to push open the door while taking out an earplug from her ear.
Once this scene appeared, it almost perfectly proved that Shen Xiuxiu's guess just now was indeed correct.
The factors in the corridor that can affect the player are some weapons left behind by reactionaries and spies who occupied the monastery in the 70s.
However, she was once a player in the Rule Realm. Was she still worried about being affected by this sonic weapon?
Qin Shang's eyelids twitched, and then she remembered that she was just an ordinary NPC now.
Otherwise, when introducing herself, this woman who once served as the abbess of a monastery in the 90s would not have called herself a "developer".
Note that she used the word "once" here.
This means that she is indeed not a Godly Path player now...
Qin Shang had made such speculations before.
Although God Slayers are NPCs, in fact, there is a high probability that God Slayers are still players on the God Road.
It’s just that they are players on the Divine Road who are not qualified to return to reality.
According to this logic, if she is still a "developer", then she must have a character card. If she has a character card, she is a Shenlu player. Then, after she completes the dungeon, she can leave here and return to reality. However, she cannot return to reality. Reversely, the logic means that she cannot return to reality now, so she is not a Shenlu player. If she is not a Shenlu player, she naturally does not have a character card, and does not have "developer" privileges.
Also, she just admitted that she doesn't have a character card anymore...
That means she no longer has a character card under the background board.
"But, does this count as a setting for the God Road to eat?"
Thinking of this, Qin Shang raised his hand and touched his chin, followed the woman into the room, and said to himself in his heart;
"In the 90s, she was already a Shenlu player at that time, no matter if she was level 1, 2, 5 or 6. If Shenlu simply copied her behavior and experience at that stage and threw her into the dungeon to make her an NPC, from the perspective of setting a one-to-one ratio, she should still have a character card, right?"
"After all, in the era of the background board, in reality, the dean had already become a God Road player and had a character card!"
"Could it be that Shenlu felt that this NPC's identity as a Shenlu player or not had little impact on the main plot of the 90s background board...or the supernatural events and urban legends copied by Shenlu, but she was an eyewitness and promoter of this legend or supernatural event, and played a core role or a special identity in this matter, so she was made an NPC in this copy?"
"bawl!"
The next moment, without giving Qin Shang time to think, the woman stopped at the entrance of a room and spoke, then pushed open the door. After entering the room, the woman quickly raised her hand and turned on the light in the dark room. The tungsten filament bulb above her head flickered twice, and then illuminated the entire room.
Seeing this scene, Qin Shang also suppressed some of the complicated thoughts in his mind.
Then, he saw the woman in front of him pick up a note from the desk in the room and hand it to him.
Qin Shang looked carefully and saw a string of numbers on it.
Seeing this, Qin Shang was stunned. It was not a common eleven-digit mobile phone number.
To be honest, the moment he saw the number, Qin Shang's first subconscious reflex was to count the length of the digits.
Noticed his confused expression.
The dean spat, and said in a suddenly strange tone;
"So young?"
"You haven't used a pager before, have you?"
Hearing this, Qin Shang curled the corners of his mouth.
Sister, pagers are things from my parents' generation. Although Qin Shang was also born in the 1990s, when he was born, things like pagers and mobile phones were very popular. By the time he was in elementary school, the popularity of these things had basically passed, and another cheap and affordable mobile communication device, the Xiaolingtong, had become popular.
The dean sighed helplessly.
The next five minutes were spent teaching Qin Shang how to use the pager for instant messaging.
Since Qin Shang entered the room, he could see the dean's appearance clearly.
It seems that it was not Shenlu who mosaiced her face, but the special audio weapon in the corridor that affected her vision.
She is Caucasian.
Blonde hair and blue eyes. The deep blue eyes reveal depth and brightness when they look at each other. The long eyelashes blink with a bit of charm. She has naturally curly blonde hair. Her skin should not be described as fair, because the whiteness of white people is not the kind of crystal clear white, but the original skin color is like this.
Her appearance can only be described as above average, but her figure is absolutely hot.
When Qin Shang was just looking at her and glancing at her figure, the dean, who was about thirty years old, suddenly forced out a smug smile and puffed out his chest proudly.
It seems that all foreign women are like this. Whenever yellow men pay attention to their figures, they look extremely superior.
Seeing this, Qin Shang felt secretly dissatisfied.
No, big sister, I have no interest in you. I don't have any other evil thoughts. Why do you suddenly feel superior...
He could imagine that if Jiang Qiqi was here, she would definitely start to act sarcastic.
Having breasts doesn’t matter how old you are, but having no breasts means you can live a hundred years…
How can you rule the world if your chest is not equal? If your chest is big, you can only please men, but if your chest is small, you can appreciate yourself.
What? You said you are older and proud, so when I give birth to a baby, you can be the wet nurse!
In Jiang Qiqi's opinion, what's the good of carrying two landmines with you at all times?
Well, of course, as a man, Qin Shang really doesn’t have any special requirements for his partner’s body shape.
Otherwise, Jiang Qiqi's height doesn't really meet the aesthetic standards of some tall boys.
After all, Jiang Qiqi is not tall, only less than 1.6 meters.
She's a petite loli type.
However, Comrade Xiao Jiang hates being called a loli or labeled a cute girl.
If you dare to describe her like this in front of her, she will let you see what it means to be so small that she can burst out with the power to beat you and make you cry for your mother.
Of course, it may also be that Qin Shang’s aesthetic vision has been greatly improved since he became a Shenlu player.
In front is his beautiful wife Jiang Qiqi, and behind is F4 Yin Shisan and Zheng Gongwei.
Dealing with handsome men and beautiful women too frequently can easily broaden a person's aesthetic threshold.
Qin Shang now feels like an ordinary second- or third-tier male star is standing in front of him. Maybe Qin Shang doesn't even have the idea of comparing the other person with people he knows.
Because of this, Qin Shang didn’t have any special feelings towards ordinary white beauties.
Even with the added bonus of a racial advantage...
Moreover, another point is that it stems from the racial discrimination in his bones.
In other words, a foreign beauty who can score 80 points in the eyes of the public may be deducted 20 points in his eyes because of her skin color...
During the conversation, Qin Shang learned about this person's Shenlu ID and name.
Avicii Atto.
Of course, he didn't remember the other person's name at all, he only remembered the other party's Shenlu ID, 'Ji Ji Yang Yang De'.
The moment Qin Shang heard her spit out the Shenlu ID, he almost collapsed.
He forced himself to think about all the sad things he had experienced in his life before he could suppress the smile.
Oh my god, that’s a pun!
However, when saying this ID, the abbot did not seem to show much strangeness.
Qin Shang immediately understood that the person in front of him probably did not know enough about Chinese.
At this moment, a jingle he had seen before emerged in his mind.
If you don’t record anything for a day, you will accumulate good deeds.
Don’t record for a week, and accumulate positive virtues.
It’s okay if you don’t knock for a day.
If you don't kowtow for a week, nothing will happen.
Ms. Avicii, Chinese culture is extensive and profound. Although you speak Chinese fluently, you still have a lot to learn!
From this person she got a brief idea of the opening time of the first area.
In 1988, he was once the No. player in the Swordsman profession in the region.
"So, I'm actually a little curious. Since the 70s, those reactionaries and spies have occupied the monastery. Why did they invite a foreigner to play the role of abbot in the 90s?"
At the end of the conversation, Qin Shang knew that this woman was deliberately beating around the bush with him, and he had tried to ask her questions deliberately during the conversation.
However, when the woman heard about the content related to the main storyline of the monastery, she just smiled and passed it over, basically not mentioning a word.
Besides laughing, it's just laughing...
After hearing this, Ms. Yang Yangde pursed her red lips and her expression became a little strange.
"It's not because they asked me to come here to serve as the dean. It's because a university in Jiangcheng, China, invited me to be the main lecturer of the Marx Academy. Later, after more contact, the comrades in the Jiangcheng Municipal Government found out that I happened to be a religious believer, so they asked me if I was willing to serve as the dean of the monastery. It would also be a place to live when I'm not working."
Hearing this, Qin Shang blinked and immediately felt relieved.
Apart from the matters concerning the Divine Road players and the first district, Qin Shang was not sure whether Ms. Yang Yangde was telling the truth, but he believed the last two sentences.
In the 90s, China was eager to recruit overseas talents.
Of course, it does not mean that we hope they will take up certain important positions or engage in scientific research, but we hope that they can engage in education within China, respond to the resumption of the college entrance examination, and accelerate the pace of popularizing higher-quality education for all people.
To achieve this, we naturally need to keep pace with the international community. We have suffered enough from closing our doors and developing products in isolation.
If we do not keep pace with the international standards, the difficulty of cultivating outstanding talents will undoubtedly skyrocket.
Therefore, in some professional fields, corresponding experts are needed to provide guidance.
So the plan proposed by the Long government at that time was to try to make her the abbess of the monastery, meaning that they wanted to use religious beliefs to cultivate her personal feelings towards China, hoping that she would stay?
The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved by words.
In the early years, in order to keep pace with the international community, the promotion and progress of education did require these Western talents to teach and impart knowledge.
Don’t forget that many of the great martyrs were scholars who returned from studying abroad…
If he can be bound by religious beliefs, it will be much easier for China to keep him.
For example, even though your educational career at the School of Marxism has come to an end and your term of office has indeed expired, you can still go back as usual.
But at the same time, you have to consider the religious affairs of the monastery, and you personally serve as the abbot of Jiangcheng Monastery.
China is thirsty for knowledge, not only for students in schools but also for believers who share the same religious beliefs as you.
You can leave students behind because work is coming due.
But as a religious believer, are you willing to abandon the believers who believe in your culture and live on our land and leave before the right person comes to take over?
This can be regarded as a deep binding at the living level, and also as a roundabout way to try to retain talents.
In that era, although the east wind of reform and opening up had already blown across China, the entire nation had just emerged from the era of struggling to make ends meet.
But when faced with many highly educated people, it is still difficult for us to offer conditions that are attractive enough to attract them to stay voluntarily.
"No wonder……"
Thinking of this, Qin Shang nodded with relief.
Therefore, she was able to take up the position of abbess not because she was pushed out by those reactionaries and spies who occupied the monastery, but because she was appointed by the Dragon Government!
"In addition to the main storyline information in the dungeon, you can ask me a few questions now. I know a lot about the Divine Path, the Divine Path players, and even your Chinese official organization, the Bad People, and those beta test players. You can ask me any questions you are interested in."
The next moment, the plump and beautiful woman pulled out a chair and sat down casually, then looked at Qin Shang with her blue eyes and spoke in a calm tone.
Hearing this, Qin Shang hesitated for a moment.
“Does this count as a deposit?”
