Chapter 1350: Chapter 1212: The Beginning of a Long Journey Chapter 1350: Chapter 1212: The Beginning of a Long Journey The waist-high cylindrical sanitation robot had a large hole blown into it and was now stopped by the roadside, emitting black smoke.
Shuihua glanced around but couldn’t find a chair, so she walked over and plunked herself down on the damaged robot’s head.
“Sigh…”
She let out a deep sigh, “These people have no respect for the martial arts, how did a good investigation suddenly turn into an action movie?”
“I don’t like fighting!”
Mainly because her combat power was really not up to par.
Shuihua’s luck, apparently, didn’t extend to the bullets she fired.
Even though she had spent a lot of money upgrading her electronic brain with the [Aim Assist Lv.1] plugin, it wasn’t much help.
The bullets were still straying all over the place.
Initially, the viewers were anxious and their blood pressure was skyrocketing, almost wishing they could snatch the gun from her hands and open fire themselves.
...
But soon everyone cald down.
Because Shuihua had a revelation.
She stopped upgrading her equipnt and instead spent her money on hiring NPCs, while only purchasing the exorbitantly expensive [Charging Shield] and its accompanying energy blocks.
When she encountered combat thereafter, Shuihua would activate her shield and squat nearby, instantly becoming a spectator, standing in the front row to watch the excitent.
The viewers started mocking her for turning “Cyber Chang’an: 2077” into a “Cyber Pokémon.”
Shuihua didn’t mind.
——Why get involved when you can watch others fight?
Only when the money in her account slowly started running out did Shuihua have no choice but to get back in the fray herself.
She was promptly beaten and cried out in pain.
“I’m tired…” Shuihua said pitifully, and then she looked up at the sky to find the overcast sky had darkened and the colorful neon lights by the roadside had also brightened a bit more.
So she had an idea out of the blue, “Let’s not fight anymore, let’s go et that girlfriend of mine whom I’ve never t.”
Pulling out her mobile phone, she quickly drove ho, guided by the navigation software.
Fortunately, Cloud Dream didn’t have the bad taste to create a scene from hell; she didn’t co ho to find a boyfriend, a girlfriend, and a gender-neutral partner all arguing madly.
Her act of blocking the two other characters was seen by the system as a clear “rejection” and “resistance,” so the roles of those two characters were directly deleted.
Unless she suddenly changed her mind and actively sought them out, those two characters would never appear before her again.
Normally, Shuihua wouldn’t be interested in the two disappeared NPCs.
Unless the remaining “girlfriend” was too unique, arousing her curiosity about the other two NPCs—
No sooner had Shuihua pushed open the door to her ho than she heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
This was clearly a hint from the developnt team—Your girlfriend is in the shower, aren’t you going to check it out?
But Shuihua was unmoved.
She rembered the bathing woman from the opening of “Assassins’ Alliance”—even after so much ti, there were still new players teaming up to blow up the bathroom.
Just to get that achievent trophy.
——And incidentally, to see the NPC rushing out of the bathroom bathed in holy light and streaking naked down the main street.
With such a precedent, seasoned players would never fall for the developers’ tricks again!
Perhaps because Shuihua didn’t fall for it and was just looking around the interior of her ho, the sound of water in the bathroom soon stopped, and the virtual girlfriend ca out wrapped in a bath towel.
When Shuihua heard the noise, she turned around.
And on the spot, she was scared enough to take three steps back!
“You…
you…
where’s your face???”
The NPC girlfriend looked puzzled, as if wondering why she was making such a fuss.
But Shuihua pointed at her face, which was hollow below the eyes, trembling with fear.
Seeing Shuihua’s strong reaction, the “faceless woman” quickly walked over to the vanity table, picked up half a face and snapped it onto herself with a click.
Then she opened the drawer and took out two other faces to show to Shuihua, “Dear, which face do you want to use tonight?”
“?!!” Shuihua’s eyes went round with shock, her worldview taking a significant hit.
The viewers were also startled:
“Is this the beauty standard of the future?
Just replace the entire face???”
“A new face every day, you’ll never get tired of looking!”
“Is this way stronger than photoshopping?”
“After breaking up, every person I loved looks like you…
hahaha!”
…
After coming to her senses, Shuihua suddenly beca intensely curious about that boyfriend and her friends who were both male and female.
She really wanted to know what new tricks the developnt team had pulled on those two.
But that would be a story for later.
“Alright, I’ve been playing for quite a while now, let’s call it a day for today’s live streaming!”
“If you want to know what happens next, go and experience it yourself in the ga!”
Having said this, Shuihua was about to log off.
But the viewers imdiately stopped her:
“Wait!
Weren’t you supposed to continue tomorrow?”
Shuihua blinked and gave a very convincing reason, “I don’t have ti, I’m going to visit a luxury villa tomorrow.”
“Villa?
Are you buying a villa?
With the prize money from the ultimate challenge?” the viewers asked again.
Shuihua shook her head, “Of course not, why would I buy a villa?
It’s the Princess who invited to their ho as a guest.”
“Live stream it!
We want to watch the live stream!” The viewers instantly beca excited.
But Shuihua firmly rejected the idea, “Absolutely not possible!”
“Anyway, that’s all for today’s live streaming, everyone, bye~”
Shuihua neatly closed the live broadcast room, leaving the viewers full of question marks, asking questions in the now darkened room.
—They still didn’t know that the Little Princess had already moved in and was living with Lincoln.
And naturally, the place where Lincoln and the Princess lived had to be kept a strict secret!
The idea of inviting Shuihua to familiarize herself with their ho was actually Lincoln’s suggestion, since the Little Princess barely had any friends her age.
The Little Princess had been involved in the whole process of decorating this house, treating it as her future ho.
Now that she had finally moved in, it was only fitting to celebrate with her best friend and have a small “housewarming party”.
ƝονǤᴑ.с0
However, the plan had been delayed until now because Shuihua had been preparing for her college entrance examination.
After ending her stream, Lincoln didn’t watch any more live streams, but quickly glanced at the Office Group.
After making sure there was nothing that needed his attention, he stood up and stretched, “It’s ti, let’s have dinner.”
“Wait a minute, I need to reply to Shuihua,” said Camille, lying on the sofa and swinging her little feet as she spoke.
Lincoln bent down and picked her up in one smooth motion, “It’s alright, you keep chatting, I’ll carry you there.”
“Eh?
Wait!
Just wait a second!” The Little Princess beca a bit flustered.
“No waiting, I’m hungry, haha.”
…
…
That evening, even more players flooded into “Cyber Chang’an: 2077”.
But the gaming circle didn’t imdiately beco livelier; instead, it fell into a relative calm.
No matter which identity the players chose to begin with, they gradually got involved in the storyline, with no spare ti to think about anything else.
“Cyber Chang’an: 2077”, as the finale of the “Chang’an” series, had seen the developnt team pour their heart and soul into it.
Especially the planning team, who, given only a few keywords as hints, undertook imnse pressure and delivered what could be called a perfect result.
Three identities, three storylines—
A founder of Tianyuan Technology striving for digital immortality.
The fierce collision between technology and wilderness, and the spark of hope that erged from that collision.
The gods, destined to fall from the mont of creation, so what about the more powerful “God” that governed the entire city, what was it thinking?
Each storyline would intertwine with more branches as the story progressed, introducing nurous unique NPCs and triggering even more alternate paths.
Every branch, every joy or sorrow, offered players a perspective to view this vast city, making it more three-dinsional.
The NPCs’ characters would also beco more complex than before, with nurous morally gray figures like the interdiaries.
In the end, on top of this, there were multiple hidden endings.
And each ending wasn’t just sothing to view and be done with; each corresponded to a multiplayer world, allowing players to deeply feel that their choices and efforts were indeed deciding the direction of the world and the ending of this vast city.
All these elents combined to form the massive scale and depth of this ga.
For players, it would be a very long journey.
Long enough to wait for the [Cradle Plan] to be fully realized.
