Chapter 2 The First Player

Bourbon was a handsome man with dark skin and blond hair. His skin and hair color were not much different from what he saw in the anime in his previous life. Unfortunately, because it was too dark, his skin blended in well with the surrounding environment, and Xi Haiqingdou had no way of seeing his expression.

Canada was a young man with brown hair and red eyes, who looked quite sunny and healthy. The two of them looked at the car approaching from all sides with caution. They first looked at the modified car in confusion, until Gin impatiently opened the window, revealing his face and began to urge them, then they put away their doubts and got in the car.

Xi Haiqing Dou couldn't help but chuckle quietly again, which earned him a warning look from Gin - after all, his beloved Porsche 356A had been transformed beyond recognition by Cointreau, even from a two-seater to a four-seater, so it was no wonder that Bourbon and Canada couldn't recognize it.

He sat in the driver's seat and listened with relish to the tense conversation between Bourbon and Gin: first, Gin mocked Bourbon and Canada for coming down slower than a turtle; then Bourbon dissed Gin for walking faster last time, but unfortunately he didn't notice that the target of the mission was actually faking his death and was not as good as him. It was simply a tit-for-tat confrontation.

After thinking for a while, when Gin spoke again, Xi Haiqing Dou silently started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the black Porsche flew forward like an arrow in an instant.

Except for him, the remaining three people were caught off guard and fell backwards heavily.

Gin's harsh words were interrupted before he could finish them. He straightened his lips, glanced at him, and said in a voice full of anger and warning: "Cointreau, how do you drive!?"

The expression on Xi Haiqingdou's face was innocent and well-behaved: "Didn't you tell me not to talk before? Gin, you are really hard to please."

He's hard to please? Gin wanted to sneer again. Why had he never been so obedient before?

Cointreau?

Canada and Bourbon looked at each other in the back seat, and both could see surprise in each other's eyes.

It was dark at night, and the two of them subconsciously thought that since Gin was there, the person in the driver's seat must be Vodka, who was always inseparable from him. However, they did not expect that it would be the recently mysterious member of the organization "Cointreau", the mysterious cadre of the organization that suddenly appeared in Japan last month.

As a new intelligence officer, Bourbon, or Rei Furuya, could only find out that he was a very powerful person with a mysterious background. It was said that Cointreau was sent to the organization's European branch on a business trip two years ago and only returned recently. As an important member of the equipment team, it was said that more than 70% of the various new types of guns and ammunition developed in the organization in recent years were made by Cointreau.

Canada touched the sniper rifle in his hand, his eyes lit up, and his voice was a little excited: "Is this the Cointreau that was used to transform this gun?"

The sniper rifle he used in this mission was modified by Cointreau.

“Yes, I am that Cointreau.”

Cointreau's clear voice can easily draw a picture of a gentle and smiling young man in people's minds, which is easy to make people like him. He smiled and said, "Can you tell me if there is any problem with it today? I can continue to improve it later."

Canada shook his head, then remembered that Cointreau, who was sitting in front of him, couldn't see, and said excitedly, "It's very easy to use. Whether it's the range, accuracy or stability, it's better than before. I feel there is no problem at all."

Furiya Rei said nothing. Indeed, he had just seen with his own eyes how good this gun was, or rather, how good it was... better than the guns they had seen 'there' before.

"Really? That's good. If you have any questions, just come to me."

Xi Haiqingdou grasped the steering wheel and swung it hard, looking at Gin, and said in a cheerful tone: "How about it, Gin, do you feel the joy of this car? Is the experience much better than before and particularly exciting? Even if something happens to you outside one day and you don't have a gun to use, you can dismantle this Porsche--"

His tone sounded a bit nonchalant, almost as if he was joking. "Well, I can guarantee that even if you remove a piece anywhere, you can give the other party an 'unexpected surprise'. Any place is fine, right? It won't cause any damage to your... beloved car. At most, you will need to go back and repair it a few more times. Well, do you want me to install a few more bombs on your car as toy decorations?"

In the back seat, Rei Furutani's hair stood on end and alarms went off in his head - another lunatic in the organization.

Canada was stunned: I didn't expect that Gin's car was also modified by Cointreau? No wonder he said that he had seen it before, and Gin drove an ordinary two-seater black Porsche 356A sports car in the original book, so why did it suddenly change?

Even Gin's favorite car can be changed at will. Strange, is there a character in the original book who has such a good relationship with him? Could it be that Cointreau was already dead when the plot began? Of course, it could also be an original NPC in the game... He thought to himself, after all, the realism of this game is really high. Even an inconspicuous original passerby NPC is flexible and almost the same as a real person in reality, and has its own unique background.

——In Canada, or in the memory of "Asahina Kazuma", he was a player who entered the closed beta test of this holographic simulation game called "Science Chaos" three years ago.

So in his eyes, except for himself, all the people in this world are advanced intelligent AI in the game, all things are made up of models, and everything in this world is a novel and interesting game to him, except that it is extremely realistic.

Therefore, as Saikai Haruto said, he has a subconscious superiority in his heart. After all, no matter how realistic a "game" is, it is not the "real world", and "NPCs" and "players" are also different.

"Pay attention to the road conditions, drive your car properly, and stop talking nonsense. Don't modify my car with your weird stuff, I don't need it."

Gin was already used to his personality, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He glanced at Xi Hai Qing Dou and changed the subject in a cold voice: "You are driving so fast, have you forgotten your own physical condition? Do you want to die?"

Xi Hai Qing Dou said with a "tsk" sound, a little dissatisfied: "Forget it if you don't need it. Don't worry, I know this car better than you do. I know my body well, and I won't die. Besides, when I stayed up all night to modify your broken Beretta, why didn't you tell me to stay up less to avoid sudden death?"

He pretended not to hear Canada muttering to Rei Furuya in the back seat, "Isn't this speed considered drag racing?" He turned his head slightly to save his dignity, "Don't listen to Gin. I just had a minor medical problem before, so he is overreacting. I'm not that bad."

As he spoke, Xi Hai Qing Dou couldn't help feeling a little guilty - although he knew his own condition, and although "Jun Du"'s body looked poor, it wasn't actually that weak inside, and certainly not to the extent of being as fragile as a piece of glass.

It was just that last week he stayed up late for several days out of revenge and had a temporary fever, and he almost fainted due to the fever. He was discovered by Gin again, which led to Gin mocking him in a subtle way as soon as they met.

Gin sneered, but didn't expose him.

"This is 'Cointreau', which is also the code name of a member of the organization."

He briefly introduced Bourbon and Canada to the West Sea Clear Struggle. He took out a cigarette but did not light it. He just held it between his fingers and said in a faint voice, "There will be an emergency mission in two days. You and Scottish Whisky will be required to cooperate with Cointreau to complete it. Be responsible for protecting his safety."

Saikai Haruto said with a smile, "I just came back from Italy last month, and I've been busy recently, so you probably haven't seen me much. But don't worry, I have a good temper, and it's easy to go on missions with me."

No wonder Cointreau is here tonight. But…

Furiya Ling raised his eyebrows. Although he didn't show any dissatisfaction, his tone was not very good: "I remember saying before that I will have a week's vacation after completing this mission, right?"

And why three of them?

——On the surface, he, Canada, and Scotland were just ordinary "colleagues" with no intersection, but in fact, the three of them were undercover agents sent by the police to the black organization. Moreover, they were classmates in the police academy and had a very good relationship.

However, he later joined the Public Security Bureau, while Canada and Scotland went to the Metropolitan Police Department. Unexpectedly, he met Canada, who was also sent to the Black Organization as an undercover agent, by accident two years ago, and met Jing Guang again last year. In order not to arouse suspicion, he and Canada acted as if they had a normal relationship with Scotland in the organization, and did not dare to let anyone discover the true relationship between them.

Why did they bring these three on this mission...Furutani Rei's heart was slightly moved. Could it be that someone in the organization discovered something?

Gin's face was cold and unmoved: "So it's an emergency mission."

Saikai Haruto was very considerate: "So I am taking up your original vacation time? I am so sorry. After the mission is completed, I will ask Gin and Rum to give you more vacation time.

As compensation, if you need any equipment, you can come to me and I can help you with some small upgrades. Including but not limited to various guns, mobile phones, computers, cars, etc. Oh, it seems that there are quite a lot. I think I am quite good at these things?"

He thought about the relevant skill descriptions again.

[God of Machinery]: From small things like tweezers and scissors to large things like airplanes and rockets, as long as there are enough parts, even a Gundam can be built for you.

With this SSR-level skill in hand, he can't be considered bragging, right?

"Really? How many days off?" Canada's eyes lit up, and he complained quickly and animatedly, "I haven't had a day off for almost two months straight!"

As a member of Gin's operations team, he has no rest unless Gin tells him to take a holiday.

Gin: "Okay, after the mission is completed, you can go and take five days off."

"Is this true?" Canada couldn't help but exclaim, "Huh?" Even Bourbon couldn't help but look at him in surprise.

When did Gin become so easy to talk to?

Xi Haiqingdou tried to hold back his laughter: "Gin, how much do you usually exploit them?" Should I say it's a good thing that he is not in the action team now?

Gin Silent: There are usually a lot of missions in the organization, but he is not the kind of person who requires his subordinates to keep on going on missions. After all, even he himself will leave himself some free time to rest after each mission.

It’s just that Canada never seemed to have mentioned that he needed to take a break, so he naturally forgot about it after a while…

And for some reason, it seems that in Canadian Whisky's eyes, he never takes a break and is always on a mission. He is not a machine, how can he do that?

Fūya Rei asked again: "Where is the location of this mission?"

"Well... this is in Yokohama."

Saikai Haruto drew out his tone and answered slowly, with a smile in his tone: "Look, it's not far from Tokyo. Isn't it very close and convenient?"
