Congratulations, You've Become an NPC

Arno's eyes were cold.

Lying in the darkness, he calmly stared at the tattered and leaky tent.

About three hours had passed since Erin took him down from the top floor.

The sky was still dark and getting darker.

Faintly, there seemed to be some damp smell in the air.

It's probably going to rain.

"..."

Arno was silent.

The surroundings were very quiet, so quiet that only the slight chirping of insects and the sound of the breeze could be heard.

He tried to move,

However, as soon as he moved a finger, a sharp pain spread throughout his body.

The bullet was under his control and did not damage the vital part.

But pain is inevitable.

"Gugu~"

In the dark sky that Arno was looking at, there was a call of a dove.

A white shadow cut through the darkness and swooped towards the tent.

"Cuckoo!"

As we neared the tent, the shouting became quieter.

But the sound of breaking through the air became louder.

The white shadow fell into the tent under Arno's gaze and landed on his belly.

Duuludulu~

The white shadow rolled several times on Arno's belly, and then a small white head emerged from the wings.

The pigeon shook its head, looked at Arno, and waved its wings.

"Okay, okay, I understand. It was a mistake this time. You will definitely land well next time, right?"

"I'm looking forward to it."

Arno said weakly.

The impact of the pigeon made his body more painful.

"Gugu~"

The pigeon tilted its head, and then saw clearly the miserable condition of Arno, and screamed a few times.

"It's okay, I won't die yet."

"You said it was a mistake yourself, so there is no need to apologize."

Arno gasped, his voice somewhat distorted by pain.

"Go and notify Evie now and tell her to arrange for some medical staff to pick me up as early as possible tomorrow."

"Gugu~"

"The location? Just the hospital where Alexander lives. We just arranged it together."

Arno thought for a while and added, "As for the name under which I will be accepted - there is no need to insist on accepting me."

"You only need to say that it is the remedial measures of the police force. They don't care about the poor, but it is definitely not possible to ignore such a big movement last night. They must do something to appease the people."

"Gugu~"

"Will you be suspected? There is no need to worry about this."

"Indifference to the incident when it happened, and then only issued some innocuous remedies after the incident was over, and finally issued a few press release speeches."

"They've always done it this way, no one would suspect anything."

"It's better to give them a way than to have them give speeches that are incompetent."

Arno coughed twice.

"Don't worry, it'll be okay."

The pigeon nodded humanely, spread its wings and left.

The white feathers fell off its body and landed lightly on Arno's body.

"A little, a little tired."

Arno murmured and closed his eyes.

He had only just woken up, but his body was already longing for rest.

It's not like he doesn't have scrolls that can instantly restore injuries.

But now, that can't be done.

Phew~

The evening wind whistled lightly, carrying Arno's consciousness away.

Shortly after he fell asleep,

A cold mechanical sound sounded in his ears.

But, he couldn't hear it anymore.

【Ding! 】

[The system will undergo pre-service maintenance soon. 】

[Please go to sleep or log off before the clock turns in the early morning to avoid data errors caused by maintenance. 】

[Wish you a happy game. 】

An emotionless voice resounded,

This voice deceives even the wind,

Not heard by anyone.

The stars in the night sky hang high in the sky, twinkling slightly.

The moon exudes bright moonlight, bringing a little light to the world.

The chirping of insects came from the grass,

Birds flew through the night singing softly.

After Arno fell into a deep sleep,

The world rarely fell into silence.

The disputes of the day,

A fierce battle at night.

At this moment, everything came to a standstill.

——

When the sun rises,

When the first ray of sunlight appeared on the horizon, it penetrated through the tent and reached Arno's face.

He opened his eyes.

There was still no movement around,

No one came to wake him up, and no one came towards him.

It was as if everyone had forgotten Arno.

Of course, based on Arno's understanding of that group of people, they would not do this.

Probably just because he was afraid of disturbing his rest.

"This situation of facing the next day without thinking about anything seems to have happened for a long time."

Arno murmured, subconsciously wanting to stretch.

As soon as he raised his hand, the severe pain all over his body reminded him of his current status as a wounded person.

"A rare injury, but not worth remembering."

Arno muttered.

Now he can only wait for the person arranged by Evie to come over.

Otherwise, it would be too suspicious to go out on your own initiative.

"I just don't know when she's coming."

【Ding! 】

As soon as Yanuo finished speaking, a familiar mechanical sound came.

【Good morning. 】

"Morning? Good morning?"

Arno was stunned.

[System maintenance has been completed. 】

[The server will be opened at 1:00 noon, and the first internal test will be launched at that time. 】

[New features in this maintenance: The forum communication section has been officially opened. Please pay more attention. 】

[This time there are special features added to your account: panel dissolution and fusion. Please explore for details. 】

[This time, NPC permissions have been upgraded: a new task release module has been added. This module is temporarily unavailable. The specific opening time is subject to the system release. 】

[Wish you a happy game. 】

"I see, is the server going to be launched?"

Arno instantly understood the situation.

"One o'clock in the afternoon, there's still some time."

"If the server is opened immediately, I won't be able to leave here."

After muttering a few words to himself, Arno began to think.

His attitude towards players is very clear,

- Let them be used to your advantage.

"Now I have an absolute advantage in intelligence and public opinion."

"With multiple identities, I can create large-scale misleading information."

"I can control their direction by misleading them with information."

Players are all a group of profit-driven people.

Information and intelligence, coupled with status and money, are enough to make them flock to it.

"If the task release module can be turned on by then, it will be easier."

Arno smiled.

The player is definitely not the enemy.

They are a huge force that can be turned into one's own use.

With their impetus, the Empire will fall into the hands of Arno more quickly.

【Ding. 】

At this time, the system sound rang again.

[You have completed the hidden mission: Arsonist. 】

【Your level has been improved (Arno Criss)】

[Your mission reward has been distributed. 】

[The system determines that you have reached the career limit, please change careers as soon as possible. 】

Task?

"The arsonist...Irene and the others?"

Arno soon understood.

This is the only thing he has done recently, and it is unlikely that he has completed any other tasks.

"This is an unexpected bonus."

Arno was about to open the system and check.

However, there were a few gentle footsteps outside his tent.

And, gradually, closer and closer.
