Ai Ying was very satisfied with Sally's willingness to stay and help.
Because whether in reality or in the game, the so-called subjective initiative is very necessary!
Especially if Sally hadn't reminded him, maybe Ai Ying would have followed the old path of the previous players to investigate why the urban management office was in ruins, instead of thinking about going back to find NPCs to look for clues.
After all, in the face of two obviously bifurcated roads, if one of the roads only requires the player to work hard, there will definitely be results, and the other road does not know whether there will be any gains after hard work, the player will of course choose to work hard first. And as long as the hard work is done
If you can see some results, no matter where you encounter obstacles in the end, it is not a reason for the player to go back to the original fork in the road. He must go back to the original fork in the road!
After all, online games are not stand-alone games, and there are no stand-alone games in the 31st century, let alone the so-called saving and loading.
When he came to Xikang City, a third-level city in District 5, and found the address of the urban management team member's home mentioned by the fast food restaurant owner Dhaka, Ai Ying was immediately speechless.
Because what is this? Is this a military camp?
No wonder that in the 31st century, urban management has become a formal reserve force, both in reality and in the game.
Fortunately, with Sally around, Ai Ying didn't have to explain his intentions to the NPC guards and easily entered this very large apartment called Yinsui Community.
Then he found the corresponding house in an almost identical building according to the house number. When he rang the doorbell, although Ai Ying didn't want to doubt whether the NPC he was looking for was in the house, he had to wonder whether Zuo Lin also lived in the same community.
Hit.
Because if this is not the case, what is the need to implement military management, at least semi-military management!
As the door opened, Ai Ying would never know the NPC living inside. But before Ai Ying opened his mouth, the NPC who opened the door looked at Ai Ying in surprise and said, "Hey! You entered the dungeon last time.
Player." But he recognized himself, and Ai Ying immediately knew that this was the benefit of a smart NPC.
As Ai Ying asked, the NPC named Song Shu also nodded, opened the door and said: "Yes. You and the urban management general from last time are the only players who have entered the urban management dungeon on the fifth platform once. At that time
I’m also here, but what’s the reason for you coming to my house?”
"I mainly want to find Lieutenant Zuo Lin, but there is no news about Lieutenant Zuo Lin. Then Dhaka, the owner of the fifth platform fast food restaurant, asked me to come to you to inquire."
It doesn't matter whether you pry or not, and lying to NPCs is even less important. What matters is the result, and only the result. So he didn't follow Song Shu into the house rashly, and Ai Ying decisively explained his purpose.
But as soon as he heard Ai Ying's words, Song Shu opened the door with his right hand and immediately stopped. There was even a kind of hesitation in his eyes: "You are here to find Lieutenant Zuo Lin. What are you doing with Lieutenant Zuo Lin?"
"Introduction to work!"
"...Introduction to work?"
Although Ai Ying didn't care about his shamelessness, after all, the urban management NPCs on the No. 1 ship were basically unemployed, and Ai Ying did have the ability to introduce them to work on the No. 1 ship. But after hearing Ai Ying's words, Song Shu's eyes were clear
There was some surprise, and the right hand that was originally stopped softened.
Ai Ying nodded and said: "Yes, I heard that the urban management NPCs on the first ship are basically unemployed. General Dot, the urban management general who did the dungeon mission with me last time, asked me to greet Zuo
Lieutenant Lin. Let’s see if you need help. He can also help introduce the urban management NPC to work under appropriate circumstances. But before that, General Dot must find Lieutenant Zuo Lin to understand the basic situation of the urban management of your No. 1 ship.
.”
"That's great. Although I don't know where Lieutenant Zuo Lin is, if there is anything General Dot wants to know, you can ask me! How about we go inside and talk about it!"
"Don't you know where Lieutenant Zuo Lin is? Then who knows where Lieutenant Zuo Lin is? Or where Lieutenant Zuo Lin lives."
As Song Shu showed great enthusiasm. After all, he was a player, and Sally's defense was super high, so Ai Ying took Sally into the house.
Of course, although Yinsui Community obviously implements semi-military management, the specific requirements inside the house are not too high. Just looking at the photo of a family of three hanging in the hall of the house, Ai Ying knew that Song Shu was not alone.
Live here.
Noticing Ai Ying's gaze, Song Shu said with a stern expression: "Soldier Ai Ying, those are my wife and daughter. My wife works in the hospital and my daughter is still in school. If it is not my job..."
"This is not your problem, but the problem of the system master. Who asked the system master to expel all the players from the first ship, which directly caused all you urban management officials to lose their jobs. But you did not find other jobs, or the system did not
Can we arrange other similar jobs for you?"
"Only you players can say this."
Although he was not afraid, no NPC dared to speak ill of the system master. Song Shu said: "Of course we are looking for jobs, but they are just system exploration missions similar to mercenaries, and Lieutenant Zuo Lin disappeared during such a mission.
"
"Missing? You said Lieutenant Zuo Lin disappeared? When did Lieutenant Zuo Lin disappear? Where did he disappear?"
Since the urban management unit is a reserve unit, of course it has to participate in the battle. Thinking of the last time he met Lieutenant Colonel Luka and others outside the second station of Yiyi Union, Ai Ying was not surprised that Zuo Lin would take on the so-called system exploration mission.
Just missing something, this is too pissy!
But Ai Ying just asked a normal question, and Song Shu's originally rich expression suddenly became dull and said: "Lieutenant Zuo Lin disappeared when he was on a mission to explore the abyss of the Demonic Forest. He was accompanied by an urban management brigade.
, but no one came back. If you really want to look for Lieutenant Zuo Lin, you must be careful."
"...The Demonic Forest of the Abyss? Is this a system mission?"
After hearing Song Shu's words, Sally frowned, and Ai Ying also looked a little ugly.
Because if this was truly an autonomous mission, Song Shu's expression would not have changed so drastically. But precisely because this was an existing system mission, even if Ai Ying did not come for the mission of the Abyss Demonic Forest, he would not have been able to get it from Song Shu.
Song Shu received the task, or in other words, Song Shu was not qualified to issue this task at all, so he pretended to be a task NPC to explain to Ai Ying.
But no matter where the Abyss Demonic Forest was, Ai Ying couldn't be optimistic when he thought about having to carry out system tasks on the No. 1 ship.
After all, in terms of level alone, the monsters and NPCs on the No. 1 ship are all above players like Ai Ying. If Ai Ying's intention to find Zuo Lin was not special, I'm afraid Song Shu wouldn't tell Ai Ying the details of the mission.
However, just in case, Ai Ying asked Song Shu about the location of the abyss forest before leaving with Sally.
Because no matter whether Ai Ying can rescue Zuo Lin from the Abyss Demonic Forest, Ai Ying cannot turn a blind eye to this, otherwise Ai Ying will not even be able to win the trust of Song Shu, let alone Zuo Lin.
And considering Zuo Lin's abnormal situation, even if the order that Lang Ben originally planned to give to Lieutenant Zuo Lin had to be executed through Song Shu, Lang Ben would have to first change the letter to Lieutenant Zuo Lin to a letter to Song Shu.
Okay, or write another letter to Song Shu! (To be continued...)
