StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Wu Xuan looked at the obviously sleepy Silver Wolf in front of him, and suddenly an idea popped up in his mind:

"Since you want me to have a 'night talk'... shouldn't I turn off the lights first?"

With this thought in mind, Wu Xuan stood up and said softly to Silver Wolf, "Miss Silver Wolf, you have worked hard. Why don't you take a rest first?"

Silver Wolf nodded his head silently, then said "hmm" softly and lay down on the sofa.

However, even lying like this, Wu Xuan's heart could not calm down.

Silver Wolf really suits his cuteness, and he has a good impression of Silver Wolf, but that is outside the game.

No matter in the past life or this life, Wu Xuan had seen Silver Wolf's fiery look in the game before. Who can withstand seeing that waist?

Seeing the Silver Wolf in the game and seeing the Silver Wolf in person are two different things.

It would be fine if you have never seen the Silver Wolf in the game, but once you have seen it... the impact of seeing the Silver Wolf in reality will increase exponentially.

To put it in simple terms...it's already unbearable, and you're making it even worse?

Wu Xuan, who was about to stand up to turn off the lights, suddenly didn't want to turn off the lights anymore, but the words had already been said. Silver Wolf was also a person with strong insight. If she noticed that he might have "bad intentions" towards her...

Wouldn’t that mean Kuku’s favorability would drop?

Wu Xuan was numb, but he could still tell the difference between “having a full meal” and “having a full meal every time”. As I just said, Wu Xuan would soon have the authority to switch game modes independently. If his favorability with Silver Wolf exceeded a certain limit... wouldn't that mean he could have a full meal every time?

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan seemed to feel less uncomfortable, so he changed the action of getting up to turn off the light into stretching, and then stood up and turned off the light.

To be honest, Wu Xuan’s “performance” was a bit deliberate, but the good thing was that Yinlang really didn’t know it!

She covered her eyes with her arms when she was lying on the sofa just now, so she couldn't see Wu Xuan's deliberate performance at all!

But if you think that Silver Wolf really wants to sleep... then you are really wrong.

Silver Wolf blocked his vision just to allow himself to think continuously about how to deal with the point of "heart-to-heart talk".

The girl's brain was spinning rapidly, and she suddenly thought of a key question.

——It seemed as if I had never told Wu Xuan the whole truth from the beginning to the end.

Silver Wolf had seen Wu Xuan's various abilities when they were teaming up in the Embers Tavern, but what about Wu Xuan? Wu Xuan didn't have a card display like hers, so he didn't know what abilities the girl in front of him had.

But looking at Wu Xuan, whether in his introduction or in subsequent exchanges, he has shown all his abilities.

Although this boy's personality is a little unpredictable, but overall... I have no reservations about Silver Wolf.

Even if there was... Silver Wolf didn't find it strange. After all, he had never confessed to Wu Xuan, so Wu Xuan would have kept some things from her to a certain extent.

Thinking of this, Silver Wolf sighed with some shame, and then thought secretly: "It's decided, let's talk about confession tonight. After all, this is just a game, and we don't know whether Wu Xuan exists or not."

After calming down his inner guilt a little, Silver Wolf moved his arm away and began to look for an opportunity to talk.

At this moment, the topic Wu Xuan found to start was even more... lame.

For Wu Xuan, this task was not difficult and could be accomplished by just chatting with Silver Wolf. However... he was not sure what position he held in Silver Wolf's heart.

After all, Silver Wolf's favorability towards him has now reached 60. Although he doesn't know what level 60 is, he always feels that...Silver Wolf's trust in him should be much higher than when they just met.

He thought for a long time, and the only possibility he could think of was... the problem of hacking technology and the problem of "Ether card".

These things are quite important to Silver Wolf. To him... they are quite important. After all, Silver Wolf is now without the "Ether Cartridge". Whether it is to kill the "Slag Gang" without leaving a single piece of armor, or the next two stage tasks, Silver Wolf's strength is required.

Wu Xuan asked himself...he couldn't do that. Besides, as a teammate, it didn't seem weird for him to ask Silver Wolf these two questions.

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan said softly in the darkness: "Miss Silver Wolf? Are you asleep?"

Silver Wolf, who had already thought about how to start her speech, had her rhythm disrupted in an instant, but she was not too panicked. After all... Wu Xuan spoke first, and she could ensure that she could continue to follow up when the topic was ended.

Silver Wolf nodded silently in the darkness, and then replied softly: "No."

"Well... can I ask you about the 'Ether Cassette'?"

When Silver Wolf heard these four words, she was silent for a moment and began to think about the various clues in the game. Combined with the scene when she first got the "Ether Cartridge", she roughly guessed the revised history of the "Ether Cartridge" in the game.

After a long silence, the girl slowly said, "I can't guarantee that everything I said is correct. A large part of it is just my guess."

"When I was at K's place today... I asked him about the ether cartridges and his response was... they can get them but they are very expensive."

"I don't know why the 'Ether Cartridges' that are distributed for free in the 'Oasis Zone' are so scarce in the 'Scrap Mountain'. Logically speaking... these black market merchants who can receive the killing order issued by the 'Building' should have a lot of connections, but every leaked 'Ether Cartridge' is priced sky-high."

Silver Wolf fell silent again. She was organizing her words, and then she asked: "Do you know... "Stone Sword"? "

When Wu Xuan heard the name, he hummed softly and said, "The Pride of the Waste Mountain who walked out of Punk Lord?"

"Yes, I personally guess... maybe it's because the "Building" is afraid that several "Stone Swords" will suddenly appear in the "Scrap Mountain". Their abilities may really be able to overturn the "Building"'s control over the entire "Punk Lord". "

"In order to ensure that they can rest easy... they chose to cut off the few paths to promotion, leaving only this most difficult one."

After hearing Silver Wolf's guess, Wu Xuan nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Then...what's the price?"

"A mission comparable to the annihilation of the Slag Gang." Silver Wolf said this without reservation, and then asked with some doubt: "You are not a hacker... Why are you asking these questions?"

This question stumped Wu Xuan. He sighed imperceptibly and said after a long silence, "I learned a little bit when I was in the Wilderness before, but I could only break open those...low-level safes. All the valuables I took out from them were exchanged for various books and equipment. Eventually, I learned this skill by myself."

“But... I guess this ability won’t be enough to make the “Ether Cassette” work...” Wu Xuan said somewhat dejectedly.

After hearing this, Silver Wolf was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I... can teach you, if you are willing."

Without waiting for Wu Xuan to speak, Silver Wolf continued, "Also...I'm sorry that I hid something from you."

Wu Xuan chuckled and continued, "No need to apologize, Miss Silver Wolf. Everyone is an independent individual. People like you and me...it's not easy for us to trust others. What's more...I have reservations about you, don't I?"

"But you've told me now."

"So... isn't Miss Silver Wolf about to tell the truth?"

Silver Wolf instantly felt like she was being controlled by Wu Xuan. This young man seemed to always be able to take the lead in a subtle way. Although Silver Wolf didn't like this feeling very much, she had to admit that having a partner like this... was really a good thing.

——Because he can always take the lead and treats her very well, that's enough.

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but smile. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Perhaps it was because her consciousness was affected by the 60 points of favorability that "herself" had for Wu Xuan in the game. She seemed to... like Wu Xuan a little bit?

She is not an innocent girl, but a genius who has seen through everything early on. She is a "Star Core Hunter", but at the same time, she is also a player of this game.

Just like the seed that was planted before, Silver Wolf wanted to experience a different life in this fictional timeline, so...she was really considering all of this seriously.

“Let’s wait for the favorability level to increase… Doesn’t the highest value have to reach 120 to complete the task? Let’s wait and see…” Silver Wolf thought secretly.

Thinking of what Wu Xuan had just said, Silver Wolf took a deep breath and told him what he had not told Wu Xuan.

"I... am actually a 'walker'."

"..." Wu Xuan fell silent. He knew that he should not speak now because he was facing the Silver Wolf from the second round. This time, the Silver Wolf did not use the energy of destiny to explore the movement trajectory of "Skull Crusher", so... he should not speak, but wait for her to speak.

Silver Wolf did not get a reply from Wu Xuan. He sighed softly and continued, "I... am a walker of the destiny of 'nothingness'. I can weaken the enemy's ability, and I can also use the power of destiny to do certain things."

"I'm sorry that I'm telling you such an important thing only now." Silver Wolf's voice was a little low, as if he felt a little guilty or... self-blame?

Wu Xuan comforted her softly, "Miss Silver Wolf, just as I said just now, everyone is an independent individual, and it is normal to have secrets. This time... haven't we made preparations in advance?"

"Besides...we don't have anything to lose from this problem, right?"

Silver Wolf was slightly stunned when he heard Wu Xuan's unique way of comforting him. Then he said "hmm" softly and continued to listen to the boy's voice.

"In that case...shouldn't we be thankful for our honesty with each other at this moment?"

Just when Silver Wolf was about to respond to Wu Xuan, the boy's next words made her feel a little...shy?

"Ms. Silver Wolf, I must admit that you are the most beautiful person of the opposite sex I have ever seen in the past 19 years. Whether it is your work style, appearance, or...strength, you are the best I have ever seen."

"I hope... we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."
