What do you mean, an NPC wrote her own encyclopedia entry?

"This is... me?"

"That's right, it was modeled after you. It looks quite similar, doesn't it?"

Ed continued:

"I set multiple resolutions for the Pixel Blue Dragon. If the Soul Returner are within the coverage area of Root Network, they will see the highest resolution Pixel Blue Dragon. The farther away from the Root Network, the lower the resolution will be. When the Pixel Blue Dragon completely becomes a block of color, it means that they have completely lost contact with the Root Network and become a 'local area network'."

Wow.

Noya exclaimed in surprise, while Ed said:

"The job duties are what I just mentioned. Are there any other questions?"

"It seems... there aren't any left."

"Noya said, still half asleep."

"Very good, from today onwards, in the eyes of the players, you are -- the intelligent assistant ' Little Blue '."

Ed looked confident, and he patted Noya with a branch:

"From now on, let's get to work!"

"Yes, boss!"

In the real world, somewhere.

"Ding! The train bound for xxx has arrived at the station. Passengers who need to board, please wait in an orderly manner..."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Cui Yuan quickly stepped off the escalator and squeezed against the flow of people into the subway car.

In the train carriage, which resembled a can of fermented black beans and fish, he turned on his phone as usual and began his study for the day—opening the official website of the game " World of Disorder " to check today's update.

This is no joke. As a blogger whose side job is to analyze and explore the world view and setting of " World of Disorder ", game information that is just entertainment for ordinary people is always very important to him.

The development team of " World of Disorder " has demonstrated its superb level of setting and the subtle foreshadowing on more than one occasion, and Cui Yuan is often able to find important information in some obscure corners.

The more he explored this world, the more he felt the terrifying amount of content in the game, and a certain hypothesis gradually gained more and more weight in his mind.

His World of Disorder ID has now gained considerable fame. Whenever he puts on that gaming helmet, he sheds his corporate slave persona and Incarnation into a know-it-all among players—[ Great Wei Boxing Champion ].

He opened the official website and, as usual, began browsing through it in order.

"Hmm, the monster's number has reached 0532? It seems a new species has been discovered."

"Oh? A Aberration plant that's suspected of having analgesic, stimulating, and invigorating effects? No, where did I get this? Is this still in China?"

"A new important NPC? This seems worth checking out..."

The player on the subway opened the latest list of friendly NPCs, and after a brief filtering, a character he had never seen before appeared on the screen.

" Noya, race... Blue Dragon?"

Cui Yuan was taken aback; yet another dragon had joined the Second Holy See?

When did this happen?

It seems he needs to finish his exploration of Klaf City quickly. Adelaide is nowhere to be found, and Valhalla has undergone new changes. He must return home to see what's going on...

Thinking this, he clicked on the entry for this new NPC and began to read it carefully:

" Blue Dragon Noya, the last descendant of the Blue Dragon race, is currently dead, with only her soul remaining in the world."

Areas of expertise: Psionic Energy manipulation (incomplete), ice magic (incomplete).

"Faction Affiliation: Second Holy See, Main Responsibility: Soul Returner Support... Soul Returner Support? What the heck is that?"

Cui Yuan suspected he was seeing things, so he clicked "exit" twice and started checking if the same section had changed for other NPCs.

Seraphina – savings, loans, war mercenaries.

" Willow Seretima - Psionic Energy Guide, Weapon Enchantment."

" Duma ( Nige Ganhuo ) -- Tactical planning and combat command."

" Duolin - Skills training and combat capability assessment."

That's fine too, isn't it?

Cui Yuan returned to Noya's character profile and confirmed that it indeed stated " Soul Returner Support".

"I'd like to see how you're going to provide support..."

Thinking to himself, he looked at the last line of the NPC encyclopedia information:

[Last edited by: Noya.]

ah?

The man on the subway rubbed his eyes, confirmed that the name matched the NPC listed in the encyclopedia, and then became completely bewildered.

Objectively speaking, the requirements for player names in " World of Disorder " are actually quite lenient; IDs that are rejected generally fall into only two categories:

The first category is names that are completely identical to important NPCs. For example, if someone names themselves Seraphina, the system will definitely not approve it.

Another type is overly abstract names, and someone who wishes to remain anonymous, [ Noncompliant Nickname 1214 ], has a lot to say about this.

Therefore, this Noya is definitely not a player, nor is it an official alt account like " Huginn " or " Muninn ".

Because these two NPCs have never appeared in the game, yet they frequently modify various entries in the official website's encyclopedia, everyone now considers them to be official alt accounts.

So, is the Noya in this illustrated guide the same Noya as the subject of the guide?

Having a Blue Dragon edit its own entry—is this an official Easter egg breaking the fourth wall?

[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] was lost in thought on the subway, and quickly took two screenshots, planning to start gathering more information as soon as he got home.

Just then, he suddenly noticed that the red dot in the upper right corner of his phone screen was jumping around.

As a blogger with a certain reputation, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] usually receives a lot of private messages, so the number of red dots is always over 99.

After more than 99 unread messages, each new message was indicated by a red dot flashing, but now the red dot is flashing at a very irregular rhythm, which means...

Many people tagged or sent him private messages within a short period of time.

[ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] clicked on the top right corner, then randomly clicked on the top @ message, which redirected him to a new post in the forum section.

The post, which is gaining increasing popularity, is titled. "Everyone, come and see! Why did the official team quietly update with such a cute and awesome little thing?"

This post comes from a player in Black Pine City. He logged in half an hour ago and started his daily infiltrative investigation. Suddenly, a small blue dragon with a very distinct pixel style appeared in his field of vision.

He initially thought he was seeing things, until... the Blue Dragon took the initiative to communicate with him:

"Hey, you Soul Returner, there's a guy looking at you with ill intent about twenty meters to your left."

As it spoke, the Pixel Blue Dragon spread its pixelated wings and flew to the left front of the player's field of vision, pointing with its pixelated claws at a sneaky figure hiding at the entrance of an alley not far away.

"That's him!"
