Hyperreal board game

An Ge's scalp was numb from countless eyes staring at him. Just as he was about to give up and retreat, the boy closest to him, wearing a vest and combing all his hair back, suddenly clapped his hands: "Oh, isn't this brother the priest brought us today?" Is the newcomer back?"

This sentence was like a spell, and immediately let the atmosphere in the store relax.

People laughed and started making noise again, no longer focusing on An Ge.The boy in the vest came up to him and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, what would you like to drink?"

An Ge could only follow him to the corner table and sit down, vaguely aware that the young man didn't want him to join the crowd.

The quaint parchment menu was hung on the table with a small wooden stand. He looked at it, and about half of it didn't know what it was, so he chose a safe one: "I want a glass of honey lemonade."

The young man responded, and then asked him if he wanted desserts such as ice cream, which made An Ge unable to intervene, and when An Ge said no, he turned around and left quickly.The intention of not wanting to talk nonsense to An Ge this time is quite obvious.

An Ge rested her chin on one hand, looking at the tavern in thought...not the children in the dessert shop.

Most people no longer pay attention to him, and a small number of people can't help but glance at him occasionally. Their eyes are ambiguous and cannot be judged, but they always carry a very uncomfortable meaning.

So, do they have any opinion on adults?

The boy brought lemonade, An Ge finally seized the opportunity and said, "Please wait..."

The boy stood still, but said with a smile: "No matter what you want to know, please tell Brother Priest, don't cause trouble for Brother Priest, please."

This is so straightforward that I almost tear my face off...

An Ge was at his wit's end, so he could only drink the lemonade in silence.

When paying the bill, I found that the game gold coins are not compatible with the currency of this town. They use "pearls", and I don't know if they are real pearls or some strange currency unit.

When An Ge awkwardly touched his pockets and tried to repay the debt with items, the vest boy smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, no, it will be charged to the account of the priest brother, and I will go to collect the debt from him."

The words seemed to be very familiar with the priest, which made An Ge especially unhappy.

Another annoying thing is that even if he uses his skills to eavesdrop on other people's conversations, he only hears some irrelevant and short-sighted content.

The only thing that is certain is that these half-grown children are the main residents, decision-makers and taxpayers of Castelpolu Town.

So in the end, it was still the Neverland mode, and the priest they called played a role similar to Peter Pan.

An Ge left the tavern, and couldn't help but look at the phone, but this time, the mod prohibited players from using the game assistant's chat function.This made him unable to confirm whether the priest was really Yizi.

However, the boy called out his ID before An Ge opened his mouth, his expression and words were flawless, as always trusting and gentle, An Ge couldn't help but believe him.

He walked back along the road with some annoyance, but he relaxed as he walked.

No matter what, he will definitely not admit the wrong person. Let's get in touch and chat more.

After all, it's too weird for the player to become an NPC in the game for no reason... Is it some kind of chaos point that Zhang Hong forgot to tell him?

When he returned to the big room, the priest was already waiting for him.

The entourage secretly glared at him, as if complaining that he wasted time, but the priest stood up from a corner of the hall with Yizi's usual smile, wagging his tail cheerfully: "Brother Clay, you are back!"

An Ge was stunned, somewhat uncomfortable, and coughed dryly: "Sorry..."

Yizi...ah no, the priest smiled and said, "It's okay, I ran back early, I know you must have a lot of questions, now, ask."

He took An Ge's hand, sat back on the chair in the corner of the hall, and ordered another cup of tea.

An Ge subconsciously looked at the no less than eight attendants around him, but the priest just smiled and held his hand on the armrest of the chair calmly, "They are all my most trusted people, don't worry, you can say anything OK."

Come on you bastard!An Ge almost wanted to jump up and beat him. He has lost the title of beginner now, and discussing non-game content in front of NPC will only be judged as hypergame.

After chatting with Xiao Miao, he realized that he was afraid, and quickly checked the FAQ of the game assistant again, and learned that the only end of Chaoyou is to be torn out of the card and die.There is no room for exploiting any loopholes.

But the priest just stared at him with trusting eyes, and didn't let go of his hand, as if listening attentively.

I just opened my mouth and waited for him to feed the chicken dry...

An Ge had no choice but to rack his brains, and asked him within the scope of the game settings: "Why are you here?"

The priest replied: "After we separated from you, I also experienced many things and many adventures... Simply put, I was very lucky. When I almost died, I was selected by the gods and became the priest of Castelpolu."

An Ge tried to translate it in his head: "Adventuring in another module, I encountered danger, but luckily, not only didn't hang up, but also became an NPC in this module."

Hmm, no problem.

He asked again: "How long?"

The priest just smiled, and gently squeezed An Ge's hand: "Brother Clay, in this town, the passage of time has no meaning, every day is today, everyone only needs to pay attention to what is going on today, and what to do today is up to you." enough."

An Ge basically guessed this part correctly.

He pondered for a while, and then asked: "What is the Possession Assembly?"

The priest said: "This is the most important ceremony of Castelpolu. It begins when the sun draws its last ray and ends when the full moon rises to the zenith. The gods who protect us will rely on the chosen ones and borrow mortals The body exerts divine power to protect Castelpolu and continue to maintain peace and prosperity."

Before An Ge could continue to ask, the priest suddenly turned sideways, held his shoulder, looked at him intently, and said softly: "Brother Clay, you also come to the Possession Conference, become the chosen one, and stay here . so that we can be together every day again.”

An Ge wanted to say that apart from the unscientific existence of board games, aren't we together every day?However, he noticed that the priest used a word, and his heart moved again: "Do you mean...to stay here?"

The priest nodded vigorously, his eyes sparkling: "Then, don't worry about any threats or dangers outside, as long as we are here, we are safe."

An Ge felt so tired, the two of them talked like charades.If this is an NPC, this sentence means literally - don't worry about the dangers outside the town; if this is Yizi, the meaning of this sentence can be understood as "don't worry about the system anymore".

If it's the latter... Do you really want to settle down in this fantasy town?An Ge felt that this idea was so crazy, but it was so in line with Yizi's thinking.

He became even more frantic.
