138 Chaotic City (2)

Which game doesn't try to get players to spend money?

Everywhere you look, there are skyscrapers; the city described in the dungeon description is a real city.

Qin Fu'an's expression was cold and his eyes were dark as he surveyed the city he was in and the people passing by.

Yes, this place is full of humans.

He never expected that simply leading the little demons through an ordinary dungeon would bring him such a big "surprise".

This is a city where humans and the supernatural coexist.

The City of Chaos.

What was the original name of the city?

What happened in this city?

Why are there still humans here? Why do humans and the supernatural coexist in a city? Why would such a city be turned into a dungeon in a live-streaming game?

Qin Fuquan had no way of knowing the answers to these questions.

He was also unable to obtain any relevant information from the comments.

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Fu'an turned around and looked at his reflection in the glass of a building not far away.

He wore very ordinary work clothes, his eye color and facial features remained unchanged, and a scarlet badge was pinned to his chest.

Qin Fu'an lowered his head and turned it over with his fingers.

This is a badge shaped like an "eye".

If you stare at it closely, it will give you the vague illusion that it is a "living eye", and you may even feel that it may be blinking secretly at some unintentional moment.

Within that scarlet eye, the equally scarlet pupil contained an unknown red liquid, resembling blood, but sealed within the pupil, so Qin Fu'an could not smell the liquid even when he got close.

At that moment, his phone was probably vibrating in his pocket. Qin Fu paused for a moment and then released the badge.

It was indeed a phone; it unlocked automatically when he looked directly at his face, and a very eye-catching app appeared on the screen.

Eyes of Containment

Like the badge on his chest, it was a symbol of a scarlet eye.

Qin Fu'an clicked on it without hesitation.

The next second, a system notification sounded in his ear:

[Congratulations, player, for triggering the main quest]

Main Quest: Contain 20 C-rank monsters, 10 B-rank monsters, and 3 A-rank monsters.

[Mission Introduction: Please accept the relevant mission in "Eye of Containment," and collect the monster containment equipment from the containment facility. For each monster contained, please go to the containment facility to complete the mission and collect your reward. Please abide by the survival order of the Chaotic City. Wishing you a happy life and longevity.]

After listening to the main quest, Qin Fu'an finally focused his attention on the screen.

Once you open the "Containment Eyes" app, the interface is quite simple and clear, divided into only three sections: personal page, mission page, and forum page.

Qin Fu'an first clicked into his personal page, where his own avatar was prominently displayed. There was no name, only a containment number, which was 0327.

The personal information is very simple and doesn't involve much privacy. It only records the containment level and the number of monsters contained, and nothing else.

I clicked into the forum page again.

Shocking! The high-level monster that appeared in Block A, Zone 3 of the Chaotic City New Town is actually this!!

Help! Are there any inmates near the south side of the city? I'm trapped here and can't get out!

Are the levels and strengths of monsters clearly defined? The official response includes the following points…

A Rank A monster has appeared in the South Bank District of Chaotic City. Lower-ranking containment personnel should avoid this area for the next few days.

The City of Chaos...

Qin Fu'an paused for a moment, then opened each of the posts with these titles and wrote down the locations mentioned in them.

Finally, there's the task page.

The above is a simple task list. Tasks of different levels are colored differently. You can choose to sort by posting time, or by level or task commission.

These tasks are not all officially issued; many are issued by citizens or companies in the chaotic city. Once you accept such a task, you will need to pay 10% of the commission to the official authorities. The authorities are responsible for recording and ensuring the authenticity of the tasks. Furthermore, if you die during a task, the authorities will try their best to help collect the body or issue an obituary to your relatives.

However, if someone chooses to trade offline, whether they are alive or dead, real or fake, is none of the official business.

After briefly browsing through the task acceptance rules in the upper right corner, Qin Fu'an exited the app and opened his phone's contact list.

Unsurprisingly, the players who joined using the team-up card already had each other's phone numbers.

Qin Fu'an called Hu Yan first.

"Brother? I'm near the shelter in Lin'an District, about 2 kilometers away." The little fox squatted by the flower bed, under the bright sun, talking while curiously observing everything around him with his beautiful fox eyes.

Qin Fu'an had seen the nearby road signs beforehand, indicating that he was in the Deep Blue District, which was not the same district as Hu Yan.

After briefly sharing the information, Qin Fu'an called a few other little demons.

The final results showed that only the little mushroom and the camellia were in the Deep Blue Zone, while Xiong Yu and Hu Yan were in the Lin'an Zone, Tuan Que and a puppy were near the New City, and the last puppy was alone in the South of the City.

Qin Fu'an frowned as he searched through other apps on his phone, finally finding a map of the Chaotic City.

On the map, the City of Chaos also looks strange; if you zoom out, it actually looks like an eye.

The Deep Blue District and Lin'an District are located at the far east and far west of the chaotic city, respectively. The middle part, resembling an eyeball, is a series of concentric urban areas, divided into the south and north of the city, as well as the new city and the old city.

It seems that getting together as soon as possible is not a simple matter at all.

The chaotic city is so large that even by taking public transportation, it would take at least three or four hours to get from the Deep Blue Zone to the Lin'an Zone.

Qin Fu'an looked at the map and then used a chat app to create another group chat for the little demons, asking them to meet at the North City Containment Center in the Chaotic City.

It wasn't that he didn't trust these little demons to take on the mission, but rather that the demons themselves were weak, and Qin Fu'an wasn't sure how the monsters in the Chaotic City were classified. If he rashly sent them to complete the mission alone, it would be tantamount to sending them to their deaths.

The only thing to do is to gather them together first. In the process, I need to go to the containment facility to take on a containment mission, determine the strength of the monsters, and then group them according to their strength in the instance.

Having arranged all this in a short time, Qin Fu'an also added a reminder in the group chat: "Be careful to control your original forms, so that other players don't mistake them for monsters and capture them."

Little demons: "QAQ Hello~"

As expected of Lord Tengshe, he even knows so much about how they sometimes lose control of their original forms and accidentally sprout two ears or a tail!

After giving instructions to the group of little demons, Qin Fu'an looked at the map and headed towards the nearest shelter in Lin'an District.

As for why we should walk?

The answer is that this game doesn't offer Qin Fu'an any luck at all.

He was poor outside the instance, but inside the instance, he searched through every app on his phone and his entire body, but couldn't find a single Chaos Coin.

Not a single one!

Forget about taking a taxi, even scanning a shared bike is a pipe dream.

On his way to the shelter, he looked at the screen full of mockery and donations in the live stream and almost couldn't help but wonder if he had been too arrogant and that the game was targeting him.

Why does this money disappear so quickly?

Qin Fu'an had never been poor in his thousands of years of life, but when he entered the game, he finally understood what it meant to be penniless.

023 secretly peeked at the chat and, disguised as a shill, angrily retorted to those who said the streamer was being targeted by the game's official team: It's clearly because the streamer spends money extravagantly, and has to support himself, his son, and his wife, so he spends more than he earns. How can you throw the blame on the game's official team?

As government officials, they're just a little greedy, a little unscrupulous, a little cunning, and a little swindlers...

but!

Which game company doesn't try to get players to spend money?!

Compared to human game officials, these bizarre livestreaming officials are actually quite conscientious!

So the authorities are taking the blame for this, they're even more wronged than Dou E!

No one knew that 023 was trying to justify itself, but while it was defending itself, the comments had already deviated from the original topic and started the routine that every episode goes through: guessing the little cloud.

[Place your bet now! In this instance, is Little Cloud a human or a monster?]

[I'm betting on humans! Little Cloud's student days were so innocent and delightful, I miss them so much~]

[I'm betting on a ghost! Little Cloud isn't a real human at all, and when he was a ghost, he was never ugly!!]

[What does the streamer think? Is Little Cloud a human or a monster? Is it possible that Little Cloud isn't in this instance? After all, this city is really huge...]

[No! I think Xiaoyunduo will definitely be there. How could Xiaoyunduo leave the streamer to clear a dungeon alone? (Very loudly) Any weird game without romance is trash!!!]

Qin Fu'an's eyes were a little hurt by the noise from the live chat.

But since he had nothing better to do, he started guessing: "It's probably human."

Faced with a screen full of "why" and question marks, Qin Fu'an squinted at the bright sun overhead and slowly replied, "Didn't the game system tell you that different species have reproductive isolation? Now I am human, so of course Little Cloud is human too."

audience:"???"

023: "?!!"

Have some shame! Who exactly did you say that to, and who has repeatedly ignored it?

The streamer should take responsibility for their own actions and not try to shift the blame onto the viewers!

[Author's Note]

Official response: We've already been very conscientious!!

Waaaaaah, all the games I play are pay-to-win schemes!
