Chapter 14 Long Aotian
“Ding Dong.”
The most barren underground floor has only a central shopping mall.
At noon, the sensor glass door of the Central Mall slid slowly.
Outside the mall, several residents with very ordinary clothes and looks walked in in twos and threes. The scene was ordinary and commonplace.
The cashier was working passively due to his meager salary. At a glance, he saw several people entering the mall, but did not take anything to pay. Instead, they stood aside, staring at other customers passing by.
...Oh. I can't afford it, so I just want to enjoy it.
The cashier looked away bored.
On the underground floor, they had seen too many people like this. If they were really poor, they could just pick up trash and eat it outside the mall to make a living.
The members of the "Misty" team who had successfully disguised themselves suddenly felt a little unhappy for some reason.
It feels like I'm being looked down upon.
angry.
At first, everyone was shocked by the magical disguise prop, but the person who took it out was their captain - you get it, it's normal for the captain to take out anything, just shout "big boss is awesome" and that's it.
The boss said he wanted to come to the mall to see other people's electronic ID information cards, so just follow him obediently.
Next to the shelf in the corner, the boy with black hair and black eyes looked particularly inconspicuous.
Shi Weizhi's dazzling white hair and purple eyes had turned dark ink-black. Wearing a cloak, he stood upright, slightly raised his dark-night eyes, and looked at the long queue at the cashier counter.
A woman checks out with her electronic ID card. The card, no bigger than the palm of your hand and pure black, swipes across the card reader, automatically displaying her personal information and completing the payment.
In his ears, he heard the cheerful mumbling of his own system's voice rising.
"Beep, analyzing the key mission clues for the dungeon [Electronic ID Information Card]..."
"Okay, the analysis was successful. The personal information has been created and added to the Tianta Center database~Replication is in progress~"
"Replica item [Electronic ID Information Card] x10, please check!"
As soon as the voice ended, his hand felt heavy.
Ten neatly arranged new cards appeared in his hand. The cards were cold and etched with the Central Information Bureau logo, exactly like the one the woman had just used.
Shi Weizhi: "Thank you Chuchu, you've been a great help."
"You're welcome, host!"
Chu Qingkong finished his task, curved his eyes, relaxed, and spread himself out like a pancake in the system space.
It is a universal system that is essential for home and travel!
Shi Weizhi gave his teammates a look to signal them to leave.
No one noticed that these "homeless" customers did not buy anything, hid in the huge crowd, and walked out of the mall door quietly.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they saw their highest bounty posted prominently on the wall opposite them.
Shi Weizhi's portrait is placed in the middle, occupying the largest area, and the bounty is staggering, which shows the NPCs' deep fear and hatred for him.
There is a line of words next to the reward order, "If you encounter danger during the arrest process, please contact XXXXXX in time." It is the contact information of the public security police officer, with phone number and address.
Shi Weizhi just raised his eyes and glanced at her, then quickly looked away without caring.
He handed the new cards to the team members and put them in everyone's hands.
Team members: “!!!”
They picked up the card in disbelief and looked at it again and again.
Their names were indeed on the card. Personal information like birthdate and location, which would be impossible to fabricate out of thin air, was now complete and authentic.
Every card was activated, just like there really was such a person in the Sky Tower.
The boy with glasses was stunned. He even held up the new card, squinted his eyes, and shone it against the sunlight. Even in the sunlight, he couldn't tell that it was different from the other cards.
It's so seamless, it's hard to imagine how it was done.
“Boss—” the Shamatte howled, “You are my God—!”
Chu Qingkong felt his face light up, and answered enthusiastically: "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it!"
Looks very happy.
Shi Weizhi: “…”
His heart skipped a beat at the system's cuteness, but his expression remained emotionless. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Shamatte: "Anything else?"
Shamatte was confused: "What's wrong, boss?"
Shi Weizhi pursed his lips with a cold expression and said simply, "Praise me more."
Listen to his system.
Shamatte: “…”
“???”
…
Chu Qingkong was satisfied, and after listening to a few more flattering words, Shi Weizhi finally shifted the topic to business.
"Next we need to find a job, what can you do?"
"Mist" is the third most powerful team in the infinite world, but it does not rely entirely on Shi Weizhi's leadership. Everyone has their own strengths.
Shamatte: "I can repair furniture."
"There's no furniture you can repair in the dungeon world."
The guy with glasses: "I can speak many foreign languages."
"There are no foreign languages you can use in the dungeon world."
Others started to speak up: "I can grow flowers."
"There's no room for you to plant flowers here."
"I don't attract mosquito bites."
Shi Weizhi's expression gradually became impatient: "Next."
"I can pause time for 0.00000001 seconds. I can use it once a month."
Shi Weizhi: "Get lost."
All nine team members finished speaking quickly.
Useless skills have been added.
As Chu Qingkong listened, he gradually became confused.
This team is full of talented people, he likes it here very much.
If you take all of that into account, he has some pretty impressive skills!
"Host, host," he said, poking Shi Weizhi with his hands in his pockets, "I can finish a large cup of full-sugar brown sugar Bobo milk tea in one breath without feeling sick!"
I just feel a little dizzy, hehe.
He thought Shi Weizhi would speak to him in the same harsh tone as he did to his team members, but he was surprised to see him startled for a moment before his eyes softened. A smile naturally formed at the corners of his lips as he spoke softly:
"Really? Chuchu is so good at drinking milk tea, that's really amazing."
"I'll buy you some next time, okay?"
…
The "Misty" team became depressed.
The city's economy is stagnant and jobs are few and far between. Even with an ID card, finding a job is a major problem.
But the infinite flow players are all very good at fighting, especially those in his host team, who are all big guys on the combat power list.
“!”
Chu Qingkong suddenly had an idea, "Host, I've got it. You have a job you can do!"
"Um?"
Chu Qingkong: "Why don't you become a police officer?"
Shi Weizhi seemed to be thinking about something.
In this world where advancement and backwardness coexist, order is both demanding and chaotic. Police officers don't need any special skills; anyone who can fight can be appointed. They've just escaped from prison, and the city is on alert, making them the most in need of manpower.
Becoming a police officer is indeed a very good choice.
The wanted poster I saw had contact information written on it.
He had a photographic memory, and with just a glance, he memorized the jumbled string of numbers and addresses. Now he could go apply for the job directly.
Although he didn't know how many systems there were in the system world, his Chuchu must be the smartest and most resourceful one.
The young man's long crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were cold as he glanced at the team members in front of him who were lowering their heads like elementary school students who had done something wrong. After a while, he spoke coldly.
"Our profession is to choose police officers."
Everyone: “…”
——Captain! Don’t you think so?!
——"Becoming a police officer, a city-wide wanted bounty seeker" sounds a bit cyberpunk! !
The cloaked boy turned around, pulled his cloak slightly, and walked towards the police station.
His upright figure is like a sharp blade breaking through the thick fog, calm and composed, unapproachable, with an innate cold sharpness.
Under the silent oppression, no one dared to speak out.
Everyone followed the captain silently.
Only Shi Weizhi knew that in his mind, he was talking to Chu Qingkong in a soft voice.
"If you catch a few more criminals, will you get extra bonus points?"
"Yes."
"Well, I'll catch a few more."
“Okay!”
…
The police station, as a government agency inside the next-generation sky tower, is still spacious and imposing even in its dilapidated underground floor, with snow-white chandeliers hanging in the tall main hall.
The police officers have been working non-stop for a whole day and night, but they still haven't caught the criminal on the bounty order.
Everyone's face was filled with deep annoyance and fatigue. They were in a bad mood, so naturally their tempers wouldn't be very good either.
The pot-bellied police chief looked at the black-haired boy who had just come for an interview and raised his eyebrows.
He was too inconspicuous, like a vague mist that would disappear if you didn't pay attention.
"You've been to this house before?" The police chief sneered, casually throwing his ID card onto the table and leaning back on the sofa. "Do you know that the job of a police officer is a life-or-death struggle? You're so skinny, how can you be a good police officer?"
"This job isn't for you. Go back early and pick up some trash to eat."
Shi Weizhi didn't say anything.
His expression was indifferent, his eyes suddenly cold and stern as he looked only at the ID card on the table—it was the one Chuchu had given him, and thankfully it hadn't been broken. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that the person before him would be able to live even a second longer with such arrogance.
The police chief glanced at him sideways, grinning disdainfully, "Why aren't you talking? We're shorthanded right now. It's not that we can't hire you, but I don't know if you'll die after you come in."
He sang it over and over again like an aria: "Have you heard about the prison? The slaves who escaped this time are not easy to deal with. People like you will easily..."
Little did he know, the escaped slave was standing right in front of him.
Shi Weizhi doesn't care what others think.
As long as he can get on the job smoothly, he will be able to continue to complete the task.
"Ahhhhhhhh I'm so pissed off!!"
But Chu Qingkong was like a cat with its fur all over its body standing on end, extremely angry: "Host! How dare this person say that to you!"
Shi Wei paused, and suddenly a warm feeling surged in his heart.
I felt like I had a treasure in my palm, and when it saw me being wronged, it jumped up and scolded the person on my behalf.
Chu Qingkong’s train of thought was completely different from what he thought: Leader, wait a minute, I’ll come to help you!
The last time I almost got reported for swearing is still fresh in my mind, so I should change my approach.
In the system space, Chu Qingkong began to quickly flip through Long Aotian's classic books and check out his classic quotes.
He closed the book with a snap, his eyes sparkling.
"Host! You should say this now!"
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the young and poor!"
"—Do you want to be my enemy? Tremble! Ignorant and lowly ant!!"
Shi Weizhi: “…”
