Chapter 249 You should call him grandpa
Yan Xun took out his glasses, intending to see if Fang Shuo in front of him was a player or an NPC, but the glasses told him that they could not be used at the moment.
Lou Yanchuan could tell from Yan Xun's action of taking out his glasses that he was using a prop.
Although Lou Yanchuan didn't quite understand the purpose of each of Yan Xun's items, he could guess from the other party's actions that it was most likely an item that could distinguish between genuine and fake items and determine whether the other party was a player.
Fang Shuo naturally saw Yan Xun take out his glasses, put them on, and then take them off again. "What are you doing?" He was initially puzzled, but quickly realized that the other party was using a prop. "You're using a prop?"
"Yes, it depends on whether you're a player or an NPC," Yan Xun said bluntly.
Fang Shuo wasn't angry at all; instead, he became even more interested in Yan Xun's prop. "Did you figure it out?"
"It can't be used."
Yan Xun said, "This item is prohibited in this instance."
Upon hearing this, Fang Shuo was immediately disappointed. It seemed that if Yan Xun had been able to use it, he would have wanted to borrow it from Yan Xun to try it out.
"What an unfortunate coincidence?" Lou Yanchuan said.
"It's just so unfortunate." Yan Xun stuffed the props back into his backpack.
It seems that in this instance, there will be NPCs impersonating players to take advantage of the situation—in order to prevent players from getting the answers too easily, the system has directly banned these items that can reveal the identity of NPCs.
"Could it be that some NPCs have infiltrated the players' ranks?" Fang Shuo immediately guessed.
He could tell that Yan Xun's parents and sister were NPCs. Could it be that besides these easily recognizable NPCs, there were also those who deliberately disguised themselves as players?
He looked at Yan Xun and Lou Yanchuan, "Are you new players or...?"
"I'm a new player." After saying this, Yan Xun thought for a moment and added, "Half new."
Fang Shuo: "...?" What does that mean?
"This is my sixth dungeon run," Yan Xun said. Since he couldn't remember the past, he decided to let it go for now; he wasn't the type to waste his time internally.
"The sixth instance." Fang Shuo was a little surprised. "This is only my third instance."
He then looked at Lou Yanchuan, "Brother, what about you?"
Lou Yanchuan sat in his wheelchair and looked at Fang Shuo, "Don't call me brother."
Fang Shuo was also taken aback, seemingly not expecting Lou Yanchuan to say that. He thought Lou Yanchuan felt that he was trying to get close to him, and he was a little unhappy. He thought that he was just being polite and enthusiastic, so why did this person take him so seriously?
He was about to speak, saying that he didn't mean to get close to her, when Yan Xun spoke up.
"You can't call him brother, it would mess up the generational order."
Yan Xun patted Lou Yanchuan on the shoulder, "Based on age, it's more appropriate for you to call him 'Grandpa'."
Fang Shuo: ………………………………?
He looked at the smiling, youthful Lou Yanchuan, then at the serious Yan Xun, and couldn't figure out if the two of them were making fun of him, or if they really thought Lou Yanchuan was old enough for him to call him grandpa.
"No need, you can just call me uncle," Lou Yanchuan said. "You can call me little uncle, just like Yan Xun."
Fang Shuo looked at Yan Xun, then at Lou Yanchuan.
It's like they don't understand how these two weirdos with such different styles could suddenly appear in the dungeon.
Perhaps it was the trio that attracted attention, because soon residents from other houses also started to come over.
"Fang Shuo, where's Lin Wen?" The speaker was a long-haired man. He looked at Fang Shuo, then at Yan Xun and the other man. "Are you residents of the White House?"
“Yes,” Yan Xun said. “This is my uncle.”
The long-haired man looked at Lou Yanchuan's legs and wheelchair. "Is this a disguise or..."
“It’s not a pretense,” Yan Xun said. “He really can’t walk.”
As he spoke, he looked earnestly at the long-haired man and said, "If you don't believe me, you can shock him and see if he can stand up."
Long-haired man: ……………………Why are these two acting so strangely?
He couldn't help but glance at Fang Shuo, only to see Fang Shuo giving him a subtle nod, seemingly agreeing with his inner thoughts.
"Don't you think we're weird?" Yan Xun suddenly asked.
The long-haired man almost thought Yan Xun could read minds. "No way, how could that be?" he hurriedly protested. "I wasn't thinking anything."
“It’s okay, I also think we’re weird.” Yan Xun said, looking at Lou Yanchuan. “After all, my uncle has a very strange temper, and he’s made me mentally unstable.”
The long-haired man felt things couldn't go on like this. "I'm Du Yun," he introduced himself. "I live in the black house."
"I'm a game streamer, so I spend most of my time at home."
"I just moved into this community today."
Yan Xun introduced his family situation as before, and then asked Du Yun, "Do you live alone?"
“Yes.” Du Yun pointed to himself, “My character is that of a homebody who likes to live alone and play games.”
"Are you a family?" He remembered Yan Xun's introduction just now, "A family of five, the largest family among our residents."
He had barely finished speaking when two girls spoke up.
The two, one with bangs and the other with pink hair, are Shu Fan and Duan Songen. They are both recent graduates. Shu Fan works as a food blogger at home, while Duan Songen is a beauty blogger. They spend most of their time at home. Considering the good security of this community and the nice surrounding environment, they decided to move to this neighborhood.
“We live in the green house,” Shu Fan said.
Finally, there were four boys.
“We are college roommates, and my family bought this house for me.” The man who spoke had a buzz cut. “These three are staying here with me temporarily.”
"We live in the yellow house."
Yan Xun looked at the man with the buzz cut and asked, "So, what's your profession?"
“The rich kids are now lying at home enjoying life,” said the man with the buzz cut.
The seemingly timid man in the shirt spoke up, "I just lost my job last month and have been looking for work at home recently, but I haven't found a suitable one yet."
"I work at a nearby amusement park," said a muscular man.
“There’s another person we think is an NPC, so we sent him away,” the crew-cut man said.
He gestured for Yan Xun to look at a man in the corner who was as thin as a bamboo pole. "He seems to work at a supermarket nearby, on the night shift. He won't answer any of our questions."
Following the direction of the man with the buzz cut, Yan Xun quickly found the bamboo pole.
The other person was tall and thin, and although it was summer, he was wrapped up tightly, as if he was afraid of the sun.
Seemingly noticing that someone was watching him, the man looked up. After realizing that Yan Xun and the others were looking at him, he turned away somewhat awkwardly, as if he didn't want anyone to notice him.
“Look, isn’t it a bit strange?” the crew-cut man said.
