Chapter 21: Rejoicing in Death
One of the most user-friendly aspects of "Qiankun" is that NPCs can interact with you in all aspects. The higher the level of the NPC, the more complete the intelligence system will be, enough to show joy and sorrow in response to the player's actions. If you insult the other party, the other party will pull out a knife and PK with you; If you bribe or give gifts to the other party, the other party will also have a great affection for you; If you attack the other person all the time, you may be able to have a one-night stand or even form a partnership with him or her - of course, this is not protected by the law of reality.
Some sociologists have pointed out that the biggest benefit of the launch of "Qiankun" is to increase the interaction and communication between people, and help those who have autistic tendencies to open their minds and make friends. Many otaku learn how to interact with people in "Qiankun", and they can be more confident even in reality, in other words, they are "out of the house".

"I am the Tyrant of Bones, the June Sunshine, the murderer who went viral on the Internet." After saying this, Qingyi shivered, although it was not cold indoors. But at the same time, he felt that the depression in his chest was swept away, and he seemed to be much more relaxed physically and mentally. No matter what the other party's reaction will be, he will not regret revealing his identity.
Dr. House looked at him intently and asked, "And then?" ”
"Huh? …… What then? Qingyi was confused.
"If you don't keep talking, how can I help you?" House smiled, spread his hands, and motioned for Qingyi to continue.
"Oh...... All right. I met my friends after I entered "Qiankun" and formed a regular team with them. I'm a fighter. Because I have studied the game materials deeply and am familiar with the cooperative combat of various classes, everyone elected me as the captain. ”
The doctor raised his hand: "Excuse me." Can you tell us about what your team does? ”
"It's online every night, and then we fight monsters and do tasks together."
The doctor asked, "Tell me more about it...... Was there any division of labor at that time? ”
"Yes. I'm in charge of the tactical arrangement, Blameless is in charge of accumulating game data, Gi'Mani is in charge of evaluating and distributing the loot, Chigami is in charge of negotiating with other teams and forces, and Fall is in charge of fighting. ”
"Why is someone specifically in charge of fighting? Everyone else is a life career? ”
"No, how to put it, the Fall is a hidden race, the Dark Elemental Life. Although she can't stay in the sunlight for long, she is simply unstoppable in night battles! I still remember the most exciting time she played was when she killed three players of the same level in one minute, and the other party was still a priest, a warrior and a mage in a team, and she still retained two-thirds of her HP after the fight! Thanks to her, we were able to jump over the level and fight monsters and rush into the second group of players. Qingyi smiled at the can in his hand.
"Sounds like a great team."
"yes, they're in the top five players in the whole 'gospel' rankings right now, but ironically...... When I was still around, we couldn't make it into the top 30 anyway. Qingyi looked at the can, although he was still smiling, his eyes gradually cooled down. Thankfully, they betrayed me...... No, it should be said, it left me. ”
"Betrayal?"
"At the time of the 'Doomsday Encounter', I was abandoned by my teammates. Not only did they abandon me to Olquila, but they also removed me from the team...... They no longer see me as a captain, and they no longer welcome me back to them. Qingyi put the cola aside and sighed: "Then there is the inexplicable deletion." I don't even understand why it's okay for others to die in the 'Doomsday Confrontation', but I want to clear the level...... I've been playing since the open beta of the game, and I'm only level 67 by the time of 'Doom Confrontation'! There are also a lot of rare materials and a superb dark gold sword on his body! Is this a simple bug?! I reported it to the game company, but the other party said that the deleted game save is not recoverable, and I can only make up for it with hidden races. Thankfully, I was able to become a skeleton. Before the 'Doomsday Encounter', it was impossible for the player to pick a necromantic creature even if they chose 'Randomly Selected Race'. ”
"Lucky?" Dr. House took the glass and took a sip: "Didn't you think about it at the time?" I heard my nephew say that the most expensive ones in "Qiankun" are dark gold equipment, superb skill books, and permanent attribute potions, and you must have suffered a lot of losses after being deleted. If it were me, I might have smashed the computer. ”
"Uh...... Will a psychiatrist smash a computer? Qingyi was dumbfounded.
House laughed: "Just kidding! Of course, there will be some minor problems in our line of work, but this does not affect our professionalism and service quality. Please go on, why are you glad after being deleted? ”
"It was painful at first. I put in the time, the energy, and the effort, but I got an unacceptable skeleton body, and everything else was gone. I really want to delete the number and not play. But I met someone...... I'm glad I met him, otherwise there wouldn't be today's Bone Tyrant. It was an old skeleton named Robert, and when he saw me, he said, 'I've been waiting for a warrior to come,' and I became the Necromantic King. ”
The doctor asked, "Why did you turn to the Necromantic King instead of someone else?" ”
Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "I asked other necromantic kings, except for the 'Huaxia' one, everyone else seems to be the top ten necromantic creature characters in each server. Hidden classes are a scarce resource that needs to be taken first. I read a post that summarized the pattern of hidden classes and hidden races: every time an expansion is released, they pop up; Half a year after the expansion was released, they became scarce. It can be seen that the sooner you enter the game, the easier it is to grab the hidden class. ”
"I wondered why I died in the port of Snow City, but instead of being resurrected in Snow City or Isinger, I was resurrected in the Sea of Bones. Actually, it was the game company's compensation for me, sending me directly to Robert; Other necromantic players were born in the Elven Tribe and Isinger, and had to pass through layers of barriers to meet Robert. In this way, I have a better chance of becoming the King of the Dead than others. Of course, it's not a sure thing, I have to get Robert's approval to get the hidden profession. ”
Dr. House raised his hand again to interrupt: "Approval? What are the criteria to become the Necromantic King? ”
"I don't know about other people's, but I met it because of an undelivered task. I was tasked with 'breaking off the Saramonro fleet' before I cleared the level, so Robert had a crush on me, I guess. Ah, Robert was the seventh king of the Kingdom of Salamonro. ”
"Saramonro......" Dr. House smiled wryly, "I don't remember a lot of the words you just said." ”
"This is normal, even the average player may not be able to remember that much of the game. Where did you just go......" Qingyi's eyes turned upward, and he suddenly waved his fist: "Oh! I remember. I'm glad I was able to start all over again and meet all sorts of lovely subordinates. I used to always deal with people, but after I was reborn, I dealt with NPCs. At that time, I really felt that I could trust my subordinates without reservation and hand over my back to them. Doctor, do you think I'm seriously ill? ”
House shook his head: "That's normal. When people are hit, they seek spiritual refuge. As long as you can step out of the shadows, you can regain trust in others and resume normal interactions. But you can already trust others. ”
Qingyi was stunned: "Really? When? ”
"Isn't that the big boy out there playing on the console? For most people, a visit to a psychologist is a very private matter, especially for those who think that the situation is serious. Yet you came with the boy on both occasions, and I think you trust him a lot. ”
Qingyi wiped his sweat: "Actually, I only know a few, only that guy is free to accompany me, and he still has to be treated as a rival in the game......"
"Let's talk about it." Dr. House curled the corners of his mouth slightly: "When you get along with NPCs, do you think of them as humans?" ”
"Honestly, there is. No, it can't be said to be 'human' because they are all necromantic creatures. I treat them as family, I think about their feelings when I speak, I ask for their opinions when I do things, I cheer them on when they are down, and everyone cheers them when they succeed. I know it's ironic, but unlike other online games, the NPCs are flesh and blood, which always makes people mistakenly believe that they are true. ”
"Yes." House nodded in agreement: "I've had a few customers who have been confused about the line between the virtual and the real. ”
"Like The Matrix? The real world is really just a more realistic virtual world, and people are suddenly ignorant? If I think so......" Qingyi asked tentatively.
"If that's what you think, I'll call the psychiatric hospital and say there's a big order coming to your door."
The two couldn't help but laugh.
Qingyi took another sip of Coke and said with a smile: "I'm not here yet." No matter how good the virtual world is, you can't live in it after all; No matter how bad the real world is, people can't just give up their lives. When I have subordinates and friends in reality, my feelings for NPC subordinates in the game will gradually fade. ”
"It sounds so sad." House said softly.
"No way, I want to live a normal life, I have to do it."
Dr. House said, "So, why did you kill so many NPCs? They are obviously flesh and blood. ”
"Because they're not my family, they're not my friends." Qingyi was not angered by the question, but said very calmly: "The president ordered an attack on Afghanistan, doesn't he know that Afghans are also flesh and blood?" Humanitarianism is also discriminatory. Since normal people don't talk about humanitarianism to murderers, murderers don't talk about humanitarianism to normal people. ”
Just then, the small alarm clock on the desktop went off. Qingyi knew that this meant the end of the diagnosis and treatment time, so he got up and said with a smile: "Next time, I'll talk to you about the murderer." ”
"Very much looking forward to it. After you go back, relax your mind, maintain a normal routine, and listen to some pure music, which will help your spirit. Dr. House got up and pressed the recorder on it.
Qingyi drank the Coke in one gulp, threw the empty can into the trash, and was about to walk out when he heard the doctor say, "Mr. Zhang!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"As far as I can see, you're much happier than the last time you came."
Qingyi smiled and went out to beckon Black Sharp to leave. The black sharpness quickly put away the NDS and walked out of the door side by side with Qingyi. What made Qingyi feel a little relieved was that the other party didn't ask a word about how the diagnosis and treatment was, and the topic was all about eating. Foodie, yes.
The two of them had a meal in Moxiang Building as usual, and then came to the Hongyi Martial Arts Hall and went up to the second floor. Qingyi has nothing to do, and he comes to learn to meditate, and he feels that the things taught by Black Fengrui are very useful, such as "there is tension and relaxation", such as "I follow the back of others".
After changing into a practice uniform, the black sharp became majestic again, not angry and self-imposing, which made people's eyes shine. He said to Qingyi: "'Meditation' is just a formality, in fact, what I want to teach you is 'nourishing qi'. ”
