StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Silver Wolf quickly accepted the fact that "it's normal for games to have some artistic processing on their settings", so his hand, which had paused for a moment, was placed on the keyboard again, and he began a new round of operations on "himself" in the game.

[You looked at Wu Xuan, who was smiling falsely, and then looked at "K", who seemed to be in an unrestrained state. You were a little confused as to how Wu Xuan knew "K's" preferences.]

[You finally decide to ask him in person later to see how he explains this.]

[It seemed that Wu Xuan couldn't help himself. He walked to "K" with a fake smile on his face, gently knocked on the scratched glass table, and said softly:]

"Hello?"

"K" looked up at Wu Xuan, then said unhappily, "What? What's the matter?"

Wu Xuan pointed at the "broken skull" that "K" was fiddling with and said, "I want to sell this."

"Of course I know you want to sell this thing, but as the price for disturbing my rest... you have to wait a little longer." Then "K" continued to concentrate on studying the remaining "skull" in front of him.

At this moment, Wu Xuan suddenly had an idea: He might never have thought that his body would be studied by those "mechanical doctors" until his death, just like a mouse in a laboratory.

Although Wu Xuan had thought of this metaphor himself, it still gave him a chill. He shuddered uncontrollably and continued to chat with "K".

Of course, if he didn't have the strange mechanical body of "Skull Crusher" in his hand, he would definitely not dare to do so. After all... he would still need to establish a good relationship with this black market businessman.

When Wu Xuan typed [Chatting idly], a prompt box popped up next to the input screen in front of him:

[Note that "K" will answer all questions in this exchange, but it is limited to three questions. If you ask more than three questions, it may cause "K"'s favorability towards you to drop significantly.]

Wu Xuan frowned as he looked at the string of characters, but relaxed after a moment. In his opinion... this was a way for the game to limit players' access to information. After all, if players obtained too much information in advance, this might greatly reduce the lifespan of the game, and the corresponding gaming experience would also be reduced a lot.

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan immediately accepted this setting, and then he held his chin thoughtfully and began to think about what question he should ask.

"To be honest... I have a lot of questions now, for example... are there any special procedures required to enter other "trading points"? Where is the location of "One"? Even where to get the "Ether Cassette"..."

Wu Xuan's brain was working rapidly. In just five seconds, countless combinations of questions flashed through his mind, but each one seemed somewhat inconsistent...so he finally gave up asking for the more critical information.

You can't just meet someone for the second time and he hasn't told you explicitly that he has an organization behind him, and then you ask him where the boss of the organization is. Doesn't that sound a bit like a spy...?

As the saying goes, "The great way is simple", Wu Xuan, who was a Yan citizen in his previous life, naturally believed this, so he began to type the characters after making some minor remarks.

[You looked at the green light coming out of K's eyes, and you asked softly with courage from nowhere:]

"Hello? May I ask who you are?"

"K, the person in charge of this "trading point", in addition to selling some basic supplies, I also sell mechanical prostheses, the kind that come with warranty."

"Oh~" Wu Xuan deliberately dragged out the last word, and then continued: "Then I have found the right person."

"K" paused for a moment when he heard Wu Xuan's words, and then continued, "Yes... You found someone who can buy this mechanical prosthesis at the highest price in the black market."

"I see... Then do you know whose body this is?"

"I don't know. This technology is obviously the work of the "Oasis District". There is no such condition in the "Scrap Mountain" and "Wilderness". But even so... there are still some things worth studying."

Wu Xuan nodded pretentiously, and then asked his last question: "Can you... hand in the task?"

Hearing this question, "K" completely stopped what he was doing, and looked at Wu Xuan in front of him with his green eyes, and then asked: "How did you know this?"

"How would you know that? Places like the black market... must have places that can help bounty hunters complete their missions, right?" Wu Xuan asked in a somewhat confused manner.

"K" was also successfully misled by this question. He was slightly stunned, then nodded and said, "I can indeed hand in quests here, and I can also receive quests, but... the time to hand in quests depends on where you accept the quest."

Wu Xuan looked at the suggestive sentence in front of him, his lips curled up slightly, and then he whispered: "The fish has taken the bait... Let's see if we can get more information out of him."

[You listened to "K"'s" words and looked back at Silver Wolf behind you. After all... you are now a team. To put it bluntly, you are... grasshoppers on the same rope. In this situation, you still need to seek Silver Wolf's opinion.]

[Noticing your inquiring gaze, Silver Wolf shrugged at you, indicating that he didn't care about it. Just make your own decision.]

[After getting Silver Wolf's approval, you turned around and confessed to "K":]

"The Embers Tavern, the mission is... to hunt down the criminal "Skullbreaker."

"K" was stunned for a moment when he heard the words "Ember Tavern", and then he said as if he was trying to cover up something: "No wonder... This guy is your target, right?"

Wu Xuan nodded and said nothing.

"That's reasonable... Otherwise, if this thing can be realized in the "Scrap Mountain" or the "Wilderness"... I'm afraid those gangs will really bring people to overthrow the "Oasis District." "K" said to himself while grabbing a white towel at hand to wipe his hands.

Then he looked up at Wu Xuan and continued, "I can help you complete the task... But I won't give you that much money. Although... I'm not short of money, it's not a good thing for anyone to carry too much "game currency" in the black market."

"So... the bonuses you get for completing tasks will be recorded in your account and can be used to deduct anytime you want."

At this point, "K" suddenly paused. Wu Xuan clearly felt that pair of dark green eyes once again focused on him. Then "K" continued, "You... should be able to understand, right?"

Wu Xuan shrugged and then asked, "I understand, but... can your "account" be used throughout the black market?"

"K" seemed to have anticipated that Wu Xuan would ask this question, and asked without hesitation: "Of course, I have a pretty good relationship with them, and I can talk to them."

[Side quest: Hunting down the criminal "Skullbreaker" The target of the quest has changed from Mars from "Ember Tavern" to the black market merchant "K"]

[Note: The rewards for this mission have changed. The "game currency" rewards will be converted into equivalent "accounts", and the intelligence rewards remain unchanged]

[Note: Since the player has touched the delivery plot, the subsequent plot development will proceed according to the options set in the game, and the fixed autonomous input option will temporarily disappear]

————————————————————

To prevent someone from really throwing their brains away, let me explain. This is the second simulation, and the plot is different from the first simulation. The Wu Xuan in the game definitely doesn't know that the guy in front of him is called "K", so he has to ask his name and occupation, but the player Wu Xuan outside the game knows all this. The text in [ ] is the narration, which is written for the player Wu Xuan to read, so the nickname "K" is used instead of nicknames such as this man or that man.
