StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Wu Xuan was suddenly hugged by the silver wolf and was unable to react for a moment. His brain crashed the moment the silver wolf hugged him from behind, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.

Listening to Silver Wolf's words, Wu Xuan rarely responded to Silver Wolf directly. Instead, he slowly turned around, letting the girl's face appear in his arms. But without any unnecessary movements, his black eyes looked at her quietly, and then he said softly, "Okay."

He could see that Silver Wolf viewed him as more than just a "teammate" or a "friend". Perhaps he had already made up his mind about him?

Wu Xuan really wanted to hypnotize himself by saying “Now is not the time to talk about sentiment or feelings”, because he did have feelings for Silver Wolf, but he hadn’t figured out yet whether he liked Silver Wolf because of the way she was getting along with him now, or because... she was Silver Wolf?

He didn't know because there were more important things to think about right now.

There has been no progress on the main quest so far. Stage 1 has only just begun to show signs of progress, and we have no idea what Stage 2 is, let alone Stage 3.

When Wu Xuan thought about the mission...he finally reacted.

This is just a game. Although the "realistic somatosensory mode" makes everything almost indistinguishable from the real thing, it cannot hide the fact that this is a game.

If you can't be yourself in the game and still have to take this and that into account... then why play games? Isn't it better to just return to reality and face life?

Besides, isn't it time to increase your favorability? Increase it as much as possible!

Thinking of this, Wu Xuan suddenly understood. He looked at the girl who was still holding him, slowly stretched out his hands and held her in his arms. Then, like coaxing a child, he gently patted Silver Wolf's back and said softly, "Silver Wolf, don't be alarmed. I'm always by your side."

"And I also firmly believe that you are always by my side."

Wu Xuan said this with a smile, then he touched the girl's smooth silver hair and slowly let go of his hand. He looked into her clear and bright gray eyes and said softly, "Now... we should get down to business."

Silver Wolf looked at the smiling boy in front of him, and his originally heavy mood slowly turned to light. He smiled at the boy in front of him, then took the initiative to pull his hand and walked out of this stronghold together...

No.

It should be said that they walked out of the house together.

----

It didn't take Wu Xuan and Yin Lang long to reach the center. Looking at the container in front of them, they exchanged glances and were ready to push open the door and see a whole family waiting inside.

However, when they opened the heavy door of the container, they found that the container that was crowded with people yesterday was now only occupied by "K" and "A", and the boy hiding in the corner with a game console.

His green eyes looked up and down at the two little guys in front of him, and then he said, "You're here...? Did you bring everything?"

"Brought it."

Just after Wu Xuan said this, he suddenly had a sense of...deja vu of a gangland deal.

He quickly shook his head, getting rid of this inexplicable idea, and then placed his straight knife and the four game cartridges on the glass table.

At this time, "A" also came up and took Wu Xuan's knife and said, "I will go to "Q" to get the parts. Give me a week and I will turn this knife into a real high-tech weapon that can cut bullets."

After saying this, "A" walked away on his own, while "K" glanced at the boy who was still playing games in the corner, and then called softly: "Qi, it's your turn."

The boy in the corner...or to be more precise, a young man, stood up slowly from the corner, took out two game cartridges, "Star Cheetah" and "Bonn", from the four cartridges, and then walked to the corner again, took out a computer from somewhere and started coding.

At this time, "K" also turned his attention back to the two people in front of him, and then said: "The news that "Bai Lie" was killed has spread throughout the "Scrap Mountain". I will settle the task reward for you first, and then... I will tell you the details later."

Just a moment later, the light screen of "Mission Accomplished" appeared in front of Wu Xuan's eyes again.

[Side quest: Bounty for assassinating "Bai Lie" has been completed]

【Reward: "Game Coins"】

Wu Xuan tapped his left hand a few times to turn off the light screen in front of him, and then asked the obviously serious "K" in front of him: "What do you want to say...?"

"We are very excited about your next..."investment"

Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows with interest, and then asked: "How do you plan to "invest"? "

"K" held up three fingers and said, "First, cultivate your ability to use the "Ether Cassette". You two... one is a genius who can use advanced program coding proficiently in the "Wilderness", and the other is repeatedly looking for people to challenge on the Internet, and your winning rate is not low."

"You naturally have the talent and ability to learn how to use the "Ether Cassette". This... "Seven" and "Q" will teach you."

"Secondly, your swordsmanship and your gun skills. The 'Ether Cassette' is not a panacea. You must have at least one method to prevent accidents."

"Finally, it's your weapons. The sword has been given to "A" to be reforged. As for Miss Silver Wolf...what help do you need?"

Silver Wolf looked at the man with the steel mask, then said calmly: "I don't need it, I can do the coding myself."

"K" nodded, and then said: "As for the matter of the "Slag Gang"... I discussed with "One" and the result is: the current environment is not suitable. After the death crisis of "Hundred Rifts" is over... you two can start again."

"Give me a specific time." Wu Xuan said indifferently.

"About... a month or so."

"That's good."

While Wu Xuan was negotiating with "K", "Qi" had already completely deciphered the two game cartridges. At this moment, they were no longer game cartridges, but "Ether Cartridges" known as the "second heart of hackers."

Seeing that both of them had received the "Ether Cassette", "K" chuckled and said, "If you two have no objection... we can start training today."

Wu Xuan and Silver Wolf looked at each other at the same time, then nodded at "K" without saying anything.

At this moment, the iron mask of "K" raised an arc that looked a bit...scary, and combined with the pair of dark green eyes, it really made people feel a little scared.

"Okay then... the plan officially begins."
