Chapter 215 Collapse of the City (13)
Seven people died last night.
It is not certain whether he died from the mechanical rabbit or from infighting among players, but Su Yue did hear the sound of the mechanical rabbit firing its machine gun again last night.
The game map is too large, and it is unclear how many players there are. In addition, the existence of rest areas and key-grabbing mechanisms means that there can be no harmony between players.
Su Yue couldn't possibly take care of everyone. Instead of saving people, it would be simpler to complete the game as soon as possible and end it all.
I looked at the content in the chat room. New messages had been constantly appearing in the chat room since early morning, and they were different from yesterday's content.
But today, they should be in a more prosperous place, but there are fewer quests to trigger. It seems that the quests to trigger will be fewer every day. If this continues, it will be impossible to just stay in this world and live a leisurely life.
However, Su Yue and his team had already received a new task from the bar owner yesterday, but the task could not be carried out due to lack of time, so they did not feel any pressure today.
The group walked straight to the bar. Although it was "early morning" in Night City, the actual sky was still dusk, with red clouds like sunset glow all over the sky. It seemed that there was no real "daytime" here.
Therefore, the residents of the city drink and stroll on the streets as if it is always night, with happy expressions as if they don’t want to think about tomorrow after today.
No one works, and no one wants to think about the future. The whole city is filled with flashing neon lights and the smell of alcohol and cigarettes.
The bar was already packed with customers early in the morning. Night City's patrons seemed to favor clothing rarely seen on the streets: some in suits and top hats, others in vibrant attire. They gathered in booths, the lights flickering, and they chatted to the soft music, though the topics of conversation weren't exactly lighthearted.
Su Yue didn't deliberately listen, but still heard their whispers.
"Did you hear that? The streets were in chaos last night. It seemed like that rabbit fired a lot of shots."
"Well... yesterday was another uneasy day."
"I don't know when these days will end, or maybe they will never end..."
The proprietress was still sitting at the bar in the inner room. She was dressed very brightly today, in a slim dress with a bright green background and red floral patterns, paired with wavy hair and bright red lipstick.
Such a combination can easily look gaudy, but on her, under the lighting and atmosphere of the bar, it is actually very charming.
When Su Yue and the others walked over, the proprietress put out the cigarette in her hand.
"I was worried you wouldn't come," the proprietress said with a smile, "luckily you didn't let me down."
The lady boss said, "But this request is very difficult. If you can't do it, it's okay to refuse."
When Su Yue heard the words "very difficult", his eyes lit up. They had to collect the three-colored heart keys. It was preliminarily judged that the color of the key was related to the difficulty of the task, so Su Yue was waiting for a difficult task.
"I can do it." Su Yue said, "Don't worry."
The proprietress curved her crescent eyes and looked Su Yue up and down. Her eyes seemed to say that you look too beautiful and too thin. I can't bear to let you do hard labor.
But then she looked at Cang Zhi, nodded, and said to herself: "Well, it should be okay for a young couple to be together."
Cang Zhi nodded immediately.
Su Yue: "..."
Why are you still emphasizing young couples?
"You should have met the Patrolmen yesterday and seen their robot dogs," the proprietress said. "Well, we need someone to pretend to be a Patrolman, infiltrate their ranks, and steal the robot dogs' chips."
"Those robot dogs may not have much offensive power, but they're actually very powerful. They have superb senses of smell, hearing, and perception. The reason we're ruled by machines is because the robot dogs' superb perception covers almost the entire city."
"How do we pretend to be a Patrolman?" Su Yue asked. "It's probably hard to pretend like that."
"Don't worry about the equipment. We're well prepared," the lady boss said. "Our people will drop you off near the patrol's base. Once you change into your gear, you'll be able to blend in perfectly."
"Excuse me," Su Yue said, "Why do you have patrol equipment?"
Curiosity is one thing, and on the other hand, I want to take this opportunity to learn more about the basic settings of the game.
The proprietress didn't hide anything. She smiled mysteriously and said, "Our little Yuna is a very powerful spy."
As expected, Yuna is not the simple high school girl she looks like. If she is a spy, then it is understandable that she holds a bunny doll, and it is only natural that the person she chooses has to take on the important task.
"Well?" the landlady asked. "Are you willing to help us?"
Su Yue glanced at Zhao Shuo. The only person he was worried about was Zhao Shuo. Zhao Shuo pointed to his pocket, meaning, "Don't worry, boss, I still have plenty of buff medicine." Since that was the case, Su Yue had nothing to worry about. He said to the boss lady, "No problem."
With a "ding" sound, the task panel refreshed.
