Chapter 34: Broken Streamer, Are You Trying to Kill Me?

~6 min read 1,124 words

Looking at the names on the two death notifications.

Lu Ran's brain exploded with a 'buzz——'.

Hiss——

Wasn't he roleplaying as an NPC? Why would these two names appear here?

Lu Ran's brain was a bit dazed.

The viewers in the stream also discovered the anomaly.

【What the hell? No way?】

【Dirty developer, you're a newborn?!!!】

【Is this dirty developer trying to kill me?】

【Ahhhhh, I'm breaking down just thinking about it.】

【Streamer, check it, what if it's not them...】

【Impossible, two identical names, and they collided, how could it not be...】

【It's over, how can I sleep now?】

【I shouldn't have watched this stream, damn it!!!】

Lu Ran had no time to pay attention to the comments, he kept taking deep breaths.

He already had a guess in his heart.

But he still raised his hand and slowly opened the death notification for 【Alexander Ivanovich Ivanov】.

【Name: Alexander Ivanovich Ivanov】

【Age: 20】

【Place of Death: Beichaimo Ice-Free Port】

【Unit:...】

【Death Confirmed:...】

Looking at the information on the death notification, Lu Ran's vision went black.

It matched, everything matched.

Both the place of death and the unit matched the NPC character he had just controlled.

So this game is playing like this, huh?

An indescribable feeling spread through Lu Ran's entire body.

Standing dazed on the spot.

Lu Ran didn't know how he walked out of the post office.

Under the sun.

Even with the bright sun in the clear sky, it didn't bring a hint of warmth; a cold wind blew, bringing Lu Ran back to his senses.

Lu Ran forced himself to remain calm and said:

"I take back what I just said."

"The plot of Polar Star Games is..."

"Truly amazing."

"I might have triggered a hidden plot now."

"So I have to deliver the letters..."

Lu Ran raised his head and looked around.

The grocery store on the corner.

Not far.

Only fifty or sixty meters away.

Lu Ran took a deep breath, looked down at the death notifications in his hand, and walked over with a slightly stiff gait.

Standing in front of the somewhat dilapidated grocery store.

Lu Ran raised his hand, but hesitated to knock; this was the first time he had been afraid to face a game plot.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking echoed, and footsteps soon came from inside.

Creak——

The wooden door was opened.

A slightly bloated woman appeared at the door, the owner of the grocery store, Mrs. Ivanova.

Seeing it was Lu Ran (Andrei), a smile immediately appeared on her face:

"It's Andrei."

"It's cold outside, come in quickly."

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

Lu Ran stood at the door, at a loss:

"Uh... I... just looking around."

He unconsciously moved the mail bag on his back behind him and followed the woman into the grocery store.

Mrs. Ivanova, who walked behind the counter, smiled and said:

"It's okay, just look around."

"You just started working here, if you need anything, just tell me."

"If you don't have enough money, you can pay me when you do."

Lu Ran nodded stiffly:

"Uh, okay."

"Thank you, Mrs. Ivanova."

Lu Ran, feeling completely uncomfortable, didn't know what to do, his gaze could only wander aimlessly, but then it suddenly froze.

Because hanging on the wall beside the counter was a photo of Mrs. Ivanova and her two sons.

Mrs. Ivanova at the counter smiled and said:

"Hey, don't be polite."

"Seeing you reminds me of my two bad boys."

Seeing Lu Ran's gaze on the photo, Mrs. Ivanova's tone was a bit complaining, but filled with pride:

"Those are my two bad boys, about the same age as you."

"Three months ago, they ran off to join the army behind my back."

"They haven't written a single letter back yet, truly two little ungrateful brats."

"Their father sacrificed himself in the war."

"Since they were little, they kept shouting about wanting to learn from their father and fight for the motherland, and now they've really run off, sigh..."

"I don't know when they'll be back."

"Andrei, if you have any news about them..."

Listening to the woman's rambling, Lu Ran, who had just gathered the courage to reach into his mail bag, froze:

"Oh... o... okay."

He didn't dare to take out the death notifications in the mail bag.

Facing the woman's familiar manner, Lu Ran simply couldn't bring himself to take out the death notifications.

He didn't even know how he managed to get out of the grocery store.

Standing on the street.

Lu Ran just wanted to find a corner to calm down.

This damn plot...

He walked along the main road for who knows how long.

The noise in his ears woke Lu Ran up, he came to his senses and looked around.

Next to him was a tavern, and the noise was coming from inside.

Lu Ran calmed down a lot, took a deep breath, and said to the stream:

"Uh... I have to say."

"The plot of this game is made very realistically, even I haven't recovered, but maybe other people don't know these plot NPCs."

"Let's go ask..."

As long as others don't know.

Then it means this hidden plot is a separate line, all fixed NPCs.

Just deliver the letter.

Lu Ran said to the stream, comforting himself internally.

Then he walked into the dilapidated small tavern, and a strong smell hit him.

The men gathered in the tavern were all drunks, all completely drunk, and some people in the tavern recognized him, greeting him one after another, calling out "Andrei, come have a drink," "Hahahaha, slacking off at work, be careful that Director Ogle beats you."

Lu Ran could only respond casually, the smell in the room made Lu Ran's brain a bit clearer.

He walked to the bar.

At this moment.

The owner at the bar looked over and said:

"Hey, Andrei, slacking off at the tavern just after starting work."

"That's not a good habit."

Lu Ran forced a smile and brushed it off:

"Uh... I just wanted to ask something."

"Boss, do you know Dmitri and Alexander?"

The tavern owner put down the wooden beer mug in his hand, a smile appearing on his face:

"Oh?"

"Those two bad boys, what's wrong?"

"Did a letter come? Mrs. Ivanova has been rambling about it for a long time."

"No one expected these two bad boys to be as brave as their father, joining the army for the motherland, it's a pity their father died on the border, otherwise he would definitely be proud of them."

"By the way."

"Is there any good news coming back?" ===== CHAPTER 35 =====
