Chapter 176 – -175- Communist Member Lin Mei Lin (2)

Anyone would have known that she wasn’t an NPC.

Well, would an ordinary woman stay on the 1st floor of Changgwan for some business?

‘Everyone entering this inn should have had their perception changed properly…’

For more active and smooth sales, the NPCs who entered the inn made the ethical view of sexual behavior seriously distorted.

The effect was amazing. Even the officials who had to crack down on the decadent establishments were sipping alcohol in that corner and raising sales.

Even if he was a scholar from the outside, he became a monkey thinking with his lower body once he entered this inn.

‘Because he’s making such a silly face among those guys… He can’t help but stand out…’

It seems that the brainwashing of the realm doesn’t listen to players at all, so she doesn’t hide her dislike.

‘I don’t know if her body is as pretty as that, but… Heh, it’s pretty good, right?’

Her unusually beautiful appearance was conspicuous even from a distance. Because the intense off-white color wasn’t something that could be hidden under a thick hood.

She squinted her pretty eyes, and looked sideways at each of her large men as they passed.

I approached her and spoke to her in her soft voice.

“… Sojeo seems to be new to this region.”

“Do you see that?”

She tried to speak confidently, but she couldn’t hide the slight trembling in her voice.

Seeing her speak in her clumsy martial arts tone, as if copied from her book, deepened her conviction that she was a player.

‘I’m on the verge…’

Her hands were down at her waist so she could draw her weapon in a flash, and her legs were untied so she could run at any moment.

It reminded me of a nervous Cat and the Beast.

‘Let’s think about why she is wary of me’

She was looking for someone. If so, it was enough to convince her that she wasn’t the person she was looking for.

‘The thing she’s wary of is someone who’s an NPC…’

She showed no intent to be hostile, and by letting her know that her hands were empty, she revealed to her that I was the player.

As soon as she heard that, she felt her tense body relax.

‘That was correct’

It seems that what he was looking for was, of course, an NPC. She seemed to be a little relieved that I was a player, and she released information she hadn’t asked for.

“Did you, too, come here to follow the request?”

It was information I didn’t know. To say that I came here at her request… I tried to elicit more information, speaking as if I knew the information she threw out beforehand.

I didn’t know anything about her, but I was able to talk to her pretending to know her.

Interpreting the various non-verbal expressions of her body, I gave her the answer she wanted.

“Of course. After following the trail, I found myself here before I knew it.”

He only answered the question she had just asked, changing the words appropriately, but it seemed that this alone was enough to earn her trust.

Arbitrarily assuming that the other person had the same experience as her, she began to let go of her guard against me.

“Also…”

W Even while talking to the woman, part of my consciousness was trying to break through her security system.

‘Huh, it’s harder than I thought?’

She approached cautiously not to be seen, but her access device did not allow outsiders to enter easily.

In order to make her work more desirable, and to gain her time, I asked her to have the rest of the conversation outside of her.

***

Looking at the inn from the teahouse across the street, she said in a voice as if she was holding back nausea.

“Really, is it a creepy place?”

“Certainly, it’s an unpleasant space.”

“It’s not just that I feel bad, I feel disgusted. Ugh, to openly operate a facility like that, really…”

Annoyed by clicking her tongue, she questioned me with a curious expression.

“Oh yeah! By the way, how did you know my name just now?”

‘I made a mistake’

“Well, can’t you tell by looking at the status window?”

I hid her agitation, smirked at her, and made her excuses to her.

She said, showing her her improvised fake status window.

A translucent window with only her nickname and nationality displayed appeared in front of her eyes.

“Aha, you were able to read other players’ status windows too, right?”

It’s a feature that’s turned off by default, but thanks to her telling me that meeting a player first is ‘the first time’, I was able to avoid it.

‘If I had met other players, I would have had to prepare another excuse…’

Having resolved her doubts, she immediately began asking other questions.

“Now, please tell me. Namgung Daehyup. Who the hell is the culprit…”

Showing her impatience, she asked me with expectant eyes.

“Okay. Lin Sojour, after looking at this inn for several days… I was able to figure out the identity of the culprit.”

I lowered her voice and spoke to her as if telling her story.

As if my poor performance had worked, she swallowed her saliva and immersed herself in my story.

While dazzling her with her plausible rants, I concentrated on breaking through the security of her interface.

‘Are there any usable vulnerabilities…?’

Perhaps because of stronger security than I thought, the information I learned so far was not that great.

“First of all, the culprit is a very influential person in the area.”

“Why do you think so?”

“According to my research, that inn hasn’t been open for less than a week.”

“Nonsense! In just a week, on that scale…?”

“Yes, besides. The officials who are supposed to stop that decadent establishment are all cooperative.”

“Oh my god…”

She listened to my story with a smirk, as if it were astonishing.

“A person with great influence in this area is probably the one who runs the inn. Not an ordinary influence, but a person with great power. That was my first reasoning.”

“Well, who the hell are you?”

“Whoops, please wait a little bit. Lin Sojour. In this story, the order is important.”

I was making up random words in order to properly arouse her interest.

All I needed was a little time.

‘Random assignment is ridiculous, and there’s no way to properly neutralize the security system, hmm…?’

As I searched for various methods, I was able to find a breakthrough in an unexpected place.

‘I can’t believe I’ll get help from the Chinese Communist Party’

A code for information censorship was inserted into her access device.

It was a code that automatically censored information that the Chinese government did not want the people to know, such as June 4, 1989, Xinjiang Uyghur independence, and Falun Gong.

Modifying the security code was difficult, but making this censorship code run amok was simple.

After some tweaking, the code for information censorship started attacking her security system.

When the security program started randomly deleting the variable ’64’, the barrier that protected her mind began to crumble like a sand castle.

The security that was solid against the runaway from the inside melted helplessly like cotton candy.

‘From now on, well… I’m used to it’

What would happen from now on, well… It was a repetition of the process that had been done to Chae Yuna dozens of times.

“What about the second one? Yes? Don’t wait and talk quickly!”

‘You slow bastard bastard, why are you so anxious about talking about something great?

With all her security unlocked, she could tell what she was thinking right now as easily as looking into the palm of her hand.

“Second… Actually, the story I told you was all lies, and it was actually me who made that Changgwan?”

“Yes? What, what…?” The confused expression on her face more than made up for her efforts so far.

“Let’s go back to the beginning”

When the teacup is tapped to make a clear sound, her eyes blur and then sharpen again.

Her mind went back to when I first started talking about the culprit.

“…Meirin Souza?”

“Ah…I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else for a second. By the way, please tell me soon Namgung Daehyeop. Who the hell is the culprit!”

As if she had completely forgotten what she had just said, she repeated the lines she had just spoken.

‘Okay, turning the consciousness back is successful…Then, let’s try changing the memory…?’

“I turned that woman into a whore.”

“Yeah? What’s that…” Her face turned white at my plain confession.

‘Hmm, if I change this, will I show a more plain reaction?’

I scratched her head and tweaked the facts of the quest she had completed.

I removed all the introductory part about the tiger and replaced it with simply investigating the suspicious guesthouse.

But just changing her post-war memory a bit didn’t change her reaction.

“…You’re kidding, aren’t you?”

“Again”

On the second try, we decided to go a little further.

What if we changed her values ​​by even tinkering with her earlier memories?

“Namgung Daehyeop. Who the hell is the culprit!”

“Oh, it’s me. I made that inn into a window.”

The ability to empathize with NPCs was extremely lowered, and in the virtual world, it was made to think that it didn’t matter if they did anything to their heart’s content.

“Uh, um… Such… Is it?” Contrary to her expectations, she was a little lukewarm.

“I’m still a little nervous. Again”

Until she gave me the reaction I wanted, I gave her new common sense.

***

“Now, do you understand? Sozer?”

“Of course. That was a clear explanation. It was Daehyeop who changed Cheonghwa Gaekjan to Changgwan, right?”

“Are you surprised?”

“No, it’s just… It’s amazing. Some people enjoy this world view like this.”

I, who was carrying out a request related to the Cheonghwa guesthouse, lost steam at the trivial ending.

‘What is this…Wasn’t it just a normal player playing with NPCs?’

“Well, wouldn’t each of you have a different way to enjoy it?”

The truth of the case was simpler than expected. This man, a player like me, just persuaded the two women to pursue a better revenue model.

Why did you burn the inn that was still operating? Yes, it was to sell what they had to more people in a bigger downtown area.

The sudden change in the industry could also be explained by the existence of a reliable helper.

However, one thing I didn’t understand was his motive.

“Anyway, I don’t fully understand Daehyeop’s actions. Did you spend your precious time convincing an NPC or something to get such a good job?”

“Well, I was just bored. By the way, it’s a *puff* good job… So, do you think they do noble things?”

What kind of question is that? It seemed that the thoughts of a small country were much narrower than that of a large country.

When is the era, do you mean to divide the nobles in the profession?

Besides, unlike in the past. Being a prostitute was a very honorable profession.

‘Old-fashioned stupid peninsular’

As a citizen of a large country, he personally taught common sense to the ignorant of a small country.

“Of course! Shaking your waist for the happiness of a man is the most noble act that a female can serve the party and country. Of course, it has to be noble.”

I taught him about the spirit of patriotism.

Well, it might be a bit difficult for someone who grew up in a country with a backward political system to understand.

“Oh, you have great patriotism. Sojeo”

“Hmmmm, I’m Lin Meilin! I’m a full-fledged Communist Party member with a party card!”

“Oh, you were using your real name.”

“How about it, I write because I want to write.”

“Haha, that’s right. It’s a very pretty name, so it suits you well. Sojeo”

Hey, I… Is it okay if I say something like this? The concern flashed for a moment, but it quickly disappeared.

Well, I’m not saying anything I can’t say… It doesn’t matter…?

More important than such trivial things was the fact that my first commission was completely ruined.

“Heeing, by the way. I wasted my time.”

I sighed and stamped my feet.

“Uh-huh, why are you crying so hard?”

“Yeah, even though I’ve been working hard on the quest, I have to go back without any income. It’s the first time I’ve completed a quest in this world… I’m a little upset.”

There was nothing that gave me a sense of futility as much as the fact that a request that I did my best to pursue was a request that someone else had already completed.

“Uh huh, that’s a pity.”

With a last regret, I asked him indirectly.

“Well, I want to ask you something. Originally, what was the reward for completing this quest…?”

“Ah, it’s a reward… I forgot about it because it was a reward that I couldn’t use… It was definitely a [Spear Slave Color Ball]. Only female players can learn it.”

“…Wait, can we talk?”

‘This…You can’t miss it!’

No matter what, this opportunity could not be missed.

Sending him a desperate look, I thought about how to convince him.

‘Even if…Even if I sacrifice my body…!’

Changno, subordinate, color ball…!

Because as a female warrior, I hated to give away to someone else a precious secret that contained three enticing words.
