StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Wu Xuan was slightly stunned when he heard Silver Wolf say this, and then he laughed a little embarrassedly.

He really didn't expect that the boomerang he threw last night would hit him early the next morning.

However...this also illustrates a problem from a certain perspective: the relationship between Silver Wolf and him was suddenly brought closer.

To give a very simple example, if the two people who just met in the "Ashes Tavern" were ordinary partners, then now they can really be considered "friends".

But in fact, what stunned Wu Xuan the most was not Yinlang’s clever words, but his smile, which was as clean and beautiful as a blooming crabapple flower.

It is hard to imagine what kind of effort a girl has to make and what kind of hardship she has to go through in order to grow up normally in a place like "Punk Lord" where the law of the jungle prevails.

Silver Wolf is lucky because she has the care of a fast food restaurant owner, but she is also unfortunate because she has been exposed to the darkest side of human nature at an early age.

But Silver Wolf's smile just now was not dark, but a very pure smile. In a place like "Punk Lord", it can really be said to be "untainted by the mud".

However, while Wu Xuan was in a daze, Silver Wolf had already finished the breakfast in front of him. Looking at the dazed boy in front of him, Silver Wolf couldn't help but stretch out his hand and waved it in front of him, then asked: "Wu Xuan? What's wrong with you?"

Wu Xuan finally came to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. He looked at the puzzled girl in front of him and sighed slightly. Then he said softly, "Nothing. I just remembered something."

"?"

Although Yinlang was puzzled, she didn't say anything. She suddenly remembered the question Wu Xuan had asked her when he was cooking, "Where are we going after breakfast?" Then she asked softly, "Wait... where are we going?"

Wu Xuan was slightly stunned, and then the familiar light screen appeared in his field of vision again. This time... it was even considerate enough to display the cursor, and the cursor could follow the movement of Wu Xuan's hand, which meant that he didn't have to worry about being treated as a lunatic by the Silver Wolf.

After all, in the current situation... Wu Xuan can't just point around in the air openly, as that would only cause Silver Wolf to misunderstand. If there was no cursor... Wu Xuan would rather not have such a thing.

[Silver Wolf asks you where to go later, you decide...]

[1. Go to "K" to buy some bedding and decorations]

[2. Go find "弎" to participate in training and improve your abilities (unlocked)]

【3. Player independent input】

Wu Xuan looked at the three options displayed in front of him. Although he was a little speechless, he still habitually chose option three. After all, this allowed him to fully express his thoughts, and in this way... he could take many things into consideration.

The boy pondered for a moment, then said to the girl who was blinking in front of him: "My idea is... I'll go to "K" and buy some bedding. It's not a good idea to always sleep on the sofa... Anyway, I have the conditions now, so I might as well make my life better."

"Also...Silver Wolf, I want to ask you, what is your purpose in becoming a bounty hunter?"

As for the first half of Wu Xuan's sentence, Yinlang just listened to what Wu Xuan said and nodded in agreement. As for the second half... she was slightly stunned.

[Faced with Wu Xuan’s question, you said:]

[1. For money, it’s that simple]

[2. For the thrill, nothing more]

【3. Player independent input】

Sitting in the chair, Silver Wolf looked at the options in front of her and sighed without surprise. She now felt more and more that after having this autonomous input, the option settings of this game began to become strange.

But no matter how strange it was, there was still a passable path here, and she didn't have any particular objection to it - at least the road was not blocked for her.

Looking at the question raised by Wu Xuan, Silver Wolf suddenly felt a little dazed. She remembered the question she had just asked when she passed through the neon lights of the "building", passed through those atmosphere lights, and stepped into the sea of ​​stars:

“What is the game for?”

The previous legends of "Punk Lord" gave their own answers, and Silver Wolf himself was no exception.

The original "role-players" said that games are for growth.

The calm "tactical strategy player" says that the game is to win.

The rebellious "multiplayer cooperative player" said that games are for encounters.

The loving "text player" said that games are for remembering.

And the new "Galaxy Adventure Player" said...

"Games are just games, nothing more!"

Silver Wolf, who has been exposed to various games since childhood, has long regarded his life as a grand game.

She wants to have fun playing her "game of life", which is the original intention of all games.

If I have to give myself a goal, it would be to find my own "meaning"...

In that basement, she wanted to pursue her own "meaning", and thus embarked on a path of "nothingness".

But... "meaning" is not a concrete code, but a very abstract concept.

——How should she go about finding it?

She thought about this problem for a long time, and finally decided to move out step by step. If she couldn't find the answer in the "fast food restaurant", she would go to the "waste mountain"; if she still couldn't find the answer in the "waste mountain", she would go to the "oasis area".

If... you can't find the answer in "Punk Lord", then go to the boundless sea of ​​stars and find your own "meaning".

Thinking of this, Silver Wolf slowly exhaled a breath, and then his slender jade fingers once again floated over the virtual keyboard in front of him, expressing his true thoughts.

[You were stunned by Wu Xuan's sudden question and immediately fell into deep thought.]

[But... the revelation in the "basement" has already made you fully prepared for all of this. After just a moment of thinking, you said to the boy in front of you:]

"Life is a game... Everyone has a different definition of what it means to win, and mine is... to find my own 'meaning'."

"I know it's vague, but that's my answer."

"If I can't find the answer in the 'Junk Mountain', I'll go to the 'Oasis'. If I still can't find it, I'll go out of 'Punk Lord' and look at the distant sea of ​​stars."

"In short...I will look outward step by step until I find my "meaning"."

Wu Xuan was silent for a long time while listening to the girl's speech. Looking at her determined grey eyes without any hesitation, he smiled slightly and then said softly:

"It seems...we can work together for a long time."
