Chapter 77 Players can do whatever they want [VIP]
As a player, the first thing you need to remember is that this entire world belongs to you. No one can disobey you. Take whatever you want, beat whoever you want, and chop down anyone you dislike without a second thought.
If you have any second thoughts, go to hell with the last person and complain to Satan. You are not welcome in the player's time.
So Lin Chen went on to sweep the base again, encountering a few red-named characters who blocked her path. They were grumbling something like, "You're a newbie, don't get cocky," and were about to bully her.
Could the player tolerate this? Absolutely not! What little trash dared to stand up to the player and yell at her? While the player was consigning the ancient empire of the previous era to the dregs of history, NPC, you hadn't even written a single line of code yet!
Without saying a word, Lin Chen rushed forward, grabbed the leader's head and smashed it against the wall.
"Bang!"
The metal wall was recessed into a perfect human silhouette. As the other two drew their guns, she grabbed their collars and rammed them into the wall.
"Bang!"
The sound of two heads rubbing against each other is so clear and melodious. Does it sound good? If it sounds good, it means it's a good head.
Lin Chen stepped on one of them's backs, crushing them and stealing their wallets and weapons. Just as he was about to continue his search, he caught a glimpse of two yellow-named NPCs approaching from the end of the corridor.
A silver-haired man in a windbreaker was smoking a cigarette, while a blonde woman kept a safe distance. Lin Chen glanced at them and then looked away—the yellow-named NPC wasn't worth her time.
She was intently searching for her loot when, as if remembering something, she activated the [Steal] skill on the silver-haired NPC. A cigarette and a lighter instantly appeared in her hands.
To be honest, players don't like smoking, but maybe the cigarettes in the game have some special effects? Like restoring mood points or something?
Jiloises cigarettes: Only three cigarettes left in the box, thanks to the owner's meticulous care. Smoking is harmful to your health, please do not smoke in non-smoking areas. Consuming this item removes debuffs such as "Anxiety" and "Distress" from your mood bar, temporarily granting you the "Paralysis" status.
Zippo Lighter: A classic military lighter brand, with a custom all-black matte finish, a metallic finish, and a vintage hinge. This upgraded version features increased wind resistance, making it suitable for ignition in rain, snow, or other extreme conditions.
The silver-haired NPC suddenly stopped, frowned, and touched his pocket. The blonde female NPC immediately took two steps back in alarm.
Lin Chen casually stuffed his loot into his backpack and headed for the armory. As he passed the blonde female NPC, she activated [Steal] again—a straight silk handkerchief fell into his palm.
This kind of thing is obviously a gift to be given to the green-name NPC to improve his favor. Put it away, put it away.
The armory door was useless before her. Lin Chen hummed as he began stuffing various equipment into his backpack, completely ignoring the gloomy gaze of the silver-haired NPC behind him and the gloating expression of the blonde female NPC.
After all, in this world—
Players can do whatever they want.
——
"Tsk." Gin looked at Player's back as he skipped away and uttered an ambiguous interjection.
"Puchi." Although she lost a silk handkerchief, it was not an important thing to her. Instead, Vermouth showed a sincere smile when she found that Gin's beloved lighter was taken away.
Gin's fingers fumbled unconsciously in the pockets of his windbreaker, his knuckles turning slightly white from the exertion.
He had been using that lighter for five years, and the cool touch of the metal shell when lighting a cigarette before each mission had become a habit.
"Do you need me to help you get her back?" Vermouth deliberately dragged out her tone, lightly touching her red lips with her fingertips, "Maybe she hasn't gone far yet~"
Of course, she wouldn't go find Player by herself. After all, the food Player fed her last time still made her feel scared when she thought about it.
Gin glanced at her coldly and took out a spare lighter from his inner pocket. The gears of the spare lighter were a little sluggish, and he tried three times before lighting the cigarette.
"Let her be." He mumbled between his teeth, the smoke blurring his features. "The boss said to leave her alone."
Vermouth seemed to remember something and took out a micro tracking device from her handbag: "Come to think of it, I just put it in when she wasn't paying attention..."
Before she could finish her words, the tracker suddenly exploded in her palm. Vermouth frowned and shook her hand: "Failed again."
A piercing sound of twisted metal came from the end of the corridor, and a huge, thick curtain of dust seemed to rise, accompanied by the off-key melody hummed by Lin Chen.
Through the smoke, Gin saw her trying to pry open a heavy safe with her bare hands, and then she did that strange movement - her right hand drew a semicircle in the air, a twisted crack opened up, and the safe disappeared out of thin air.
"Damn it." Gin cursed under his breath and turned towards the emergency exit. "Let's go."
Vermouth slowly fell behind him, "If I don't see her, she will take it."
The answer she got was the security door and the glass window. She saw Gin shaking the burnt ash from the tip of his cigarette angrily.
——
Lin Chen picked up things from the roadside, in the room, and in the safe without any surprise. He kept the machines carefully and ate the food.
The simple joy of mechanically entering without thinking can be taken away by using [Space Folding].
From time to time, people with yellow names would suddenly turn into red names on the road, and rush forward shouting revenge, promotion, code names, etc.
The player simply emptied his health bar, took everything from his body, and then threw him in the corridor like a rag doll.
The life of players is so simple and peaceful.
After Lin Chen looted this ordinary base, he quickly lost interest in it. After all, there were no green names here, and everyone was wary and afraid of the players.
With nothing to do, she decided to go back to her farm.
Speaking of which, the player hasn't been back for nearly a month, and I wonder how the NPCs are doing.
"They're fine, player," the system said silently. "After all, you need to know who is arranging their tasks for you. It's the great, transcendental AI—you."
Lin Chen applauded enthusiastically and selected [Farm] on the map, which could be used as an independent teleportation point to teleport directly into the room.
Lin Chen returned to his living room, which was full of surveillance cameras, and first checked to see if any NPCs were slacking off - very good, everyone seemed to be working diligently.
Then he pushed open the door and announced loudly to everyone: "My employees! Your farmer is back!"
The system naturally controlled the broadcast to loudly repeat the player's words three times here to ensure that every employee could know the player's arrival at the first time.
A male NPC with brown hair stood silently in a farmland not far away, watching the player rolling over calmly.
Lin Chen poked the familiar NPC, trying to trigger a conversation.
The NPC supported his forehead in a very humane way. Lin Chen could see a very subtle expression on his face, as if he wanted to complain about something, but for some reason he swallowed the complaint back.
The player was amused by his own guess and looked the NPC up and down for a while: Wow, this is a very rural and summery outfit.
He was wearing a straw hat, overalls covered in mud, and a hoe in his hand. Hahahaha.
Lin Chen couldn't help but poke his face.
[Nakahara Chuuya: Current Status - Fatigue (Mild)]
Mood: 85 (Enjoy school, like Chinese, and enjoy my peaceful and normal life now)
Nakahara Chuuya sighed and slammed his hoe into the ground. "What's wrong?"
Lin Chen blinked, then suddenly pulled out a bottle of iced soda from his backpack and handed it over. Chuuya was stunned for a moment, wary and not taking it.
"Don't worry, it's not poisoned," the system suddenly said, startling Chuuya. "The player just wanted to see if you'd spit out the soda."
Chuuya: "..."
Finally he took the soda and took a sip cautiously.
Lin Chen was disappointed to find that he was drinking normally and had no intention of spitting it out.
There was a commotion in the distance. Lin Chen turned and saw Mihara Chisa running towards them with a group of children. The little girl waved her arms excitedly: "Mr. Player! You're back!"
Lin Chen squatted down and took out a bunch of small things he had picked up from all over the world from his backpack - candies, stationery, small toys, and stuffed them all into the children.
Chuuya watched this scene, his mouth twitching unconsciously. He muttered quietly: "Is this guy going to rob or go shopping..."
Lin Chen heard it with sharp ears, turned around, raised his eyebrows and gave him a thumbs up, revealing a smug and bright smile.
Hmm, do you think players are the type who quietly shop in the supermarket?
Nakahara Chuuya seemed to be able to see these words on her face.
Nakahara Chuuya: "...Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Lin Chen was inspecting her farm. Yes, while she was busy opening anchor points all over the world, the system was diligently keeping the farm running.
In the barns she built but didn't manage, she raised chickens, ducks, geese, cows, pigs, and other popular livestock. She also neatly planned her farmland, clearly assigning what to plant in each plot. Even her useless but necessary functional buildings were clearly arranged by the system.
There are also extra buildings that are useless because they are already saturated with current human resources.
For example, the birdhouse and the reptile habitat are now empty.
Lin Chen pondered for a moment and took out a few mottled eggs from his backpack - these were collected by chance at the edge of the tropical rainforest last time, and the system showed that they were [Macaw Eggs].
She ran excitedly to the inner room and carefully placed the eggs into the incubator.
[Macaw Egg x3: Hatching Progress 0%]
【Expected incubation time: 48 hours】
"Too slow." Lin Chen curled his lips, took out a ukulele from his backpack, sat next to the insulated box and started playing.
Yes, corresponding to the "Plant Fantasy" that can accelerate the growth of plants, of course there is also the "Animal Rhapsody" that can accelerate the growth of animals!
A cheerful melody flowed out, and the surface of the eggshell actually glowed slightly.
Nakahara Chuuya came over upon hearing the noise and leaned against the door frame: "You also know this?"
Lin Chen didn't answer, concentrating on plucking the strings. As the music progressed, the glow on the eggshell grew brighter. Suddenly, there was a soft "click," and the first crack appeared.
Chisa Mihara brought the children over and pressed her little face against the glass: "Are they going to hatch?"
After the second "click," a wet little head pushed open the eggshell. The macaw chick opened its hazy eyes and met Lin Chen's serious profile.
"Wow!" the children exclaimed in unison.
Lin Chen kept playing until the little parrot looked cute but not dead immediately, and then he stopped.
The little parrot tilted its head and chirped softly. Lin Chen gently lifted it out and dried it with a towel. The other two eggs also cracked, and the three fluffy chicks huddled together for warmth.
Nakahara Chuuya looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously: "It's quite cute."
Lin Chen handed him one of the chicks: "Yours."
"Wait, when did I say I wanted to raise—"
The little parrot had already fluttered onto his shoulder and nuzzled his cheek affectionately. Chuuya froze in his place, afraid to hurt the little creature with a big movement.
Lin Chen nodded with satisfaction and gave the remaining two to Mihara Chisa and the eldest child respectively.
Humph, this still can't take you down? I don't believe it! (Very loud)
You all have to be completely devoted to the players for the rest of your life and work for them until you die! (Super loud)
Shiratori Juri's voice came from a distance: "Dinner is ready! We have fresh blueberry pie today!"
The children cheered and ran towards the cafeteria, leaving only Nakahara Chuuya standing there, with the little parrot on his shoulder trying to peck his earlobe.
"...What's the big deal?" He sighed helplessly, but carefully protected the little life with his hands and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
