Starting as a Mechan Chapter 234 13: The Mysterious Shopkeeper's Trial

Watching the face in front of him, Gao Gong squinted his eyes.

Such a familiar na, as a high-end player from the earlier stages, this person fully demonstrated what it ant to be an operational player.

And looking at this NPC, Baozi and Big Muscle Dominator were also whispering not far away.

"Wow, this NPC is quite handso, just my type."

Looking at the muscular Big Muscle Dominator, Baozi was silent for a mont, took two steps to the side, and chuckled awkwardly:

"I didn't expect you to have such a preference!"

"By the way, why didn't you let

collect the money just now, early ga Ga Coin isn't worth much," Big Muscle Dominator suddenly said, clearly showing he wasn't all brawn and no brain.

"Is money important, or is a high-end player important?" Baozi said aningfully, "I have a hunch this ga will make waves."

Not far away, Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella suddenly turned his head and gestured to the two.

"What's going on?"

"There's a mission," Rainy Night Lord said calmly.

Baozi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly put on a flattering smile: "Boss, rest assured, whatever the mission is, we'll find a way to help you solve it."

Big Muscle Dominator also hurried over with a serious face: "I've drifted half my life, only regretting not eting a wise lord earlier, if you would not abandon—"

"Ahem," Gao Gong cleared his throat twice and spoke calmly, "I'm busy, I need soone to help

fetch sothing, are you willing to help?"

Soon, the system's 'ding' sound rang out.

Seeing this note, the three of them simultaneously dropped their jaws.

Hidden NPC!?

Hidden Mission!!

Among them, Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella was the most emotional, the reason was simple, this small shop was quite inconspicuous, and he just happened to try the 'Insight' skill on the shopkeeper.

At that mont, Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella's whole body hair stood up, it was a strong sense of danger, as if the other could wipe him out in an instant if desired.

Na: Gao Gong

Race: Symbiote

Level: ???

Profession: ???

Personal Attributes: ???

It was his first ti encountering an NPC full of question marks, and what kind of bloodline is a Symbiote? Why would such a powerful NPC willingly stay in this small shop, what's his purpose?

Most importantly, when he saw this NPC, a flicker of reminiscing appeared in the NPC's eyes.

Why?

"What are we waiting for then," seeing Brother Umbrella unusually dazed, Baozi couldn't help coughing and said.

"Wait a mont."

Gao Gong took out two small pistols from the cabinet and tossed them over.

"Take these for self-defense, co with

for a mont."

Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella hesitated, then followed Gao Gong into the modification room.

Although the two small pistols were just Whiteboard, Baozi and Big Muscle Dominator still felt a warmth, such a nice NPC, even giving you guns for protection, could this person be a hidden Newbie Village chief?

"Damn, what's this!?"

Big Muscle Dominator let out a sudden shout upon seeing the prosthetic bodies in the glass cabinet.

"Why are you shouting?"

Baozi looked down and was also stunned.

Biochemical Triceps (Fine): Biochemical muscle group of a battlefield veteran, a classic soldier modification surgery, Strength

2, recoil of rifles and submachine guns -20%, increases a certain level of ricochet probability

Reinforced Skull (Fine): Uses stimulative biochemical surgery to cause significant growth of facial bones, cranial bone armor

...

"Just now Brother Umbrella leveled up twice and only added two attribute points, right?"

Big Muscle Dominator gulped and looked at the only 'Excellent' grade prosthetic body in the cabinet.

High Protein Burner (Excellent): Strength

5, Agility

5, Endurance -20%, attached skill: high-speed fat burning, armor

30%, fla damage -50%, lee attacks carry a certain burn effect, duration: 60 seconds

"One piece of equipnt is worth as much as Level 10 attribute points, is this how you play the ga?" Baozi murmured.

Big Muscle Dominator looked at the gun in his hand, then at the full glass cabinet's exhibit, and gulped.

"Does this ga support zero-dollar purchase?"

"Don't be silly, Advanced Equipnt isn't gained that easily, finish the Newbie Village missions first."

Shortly, Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella ca out, his previously broken hand now a chanical one, with Strength and Endurance each increased by one point.

"Let's go."

The three reluctantly left the place, Gao Gong smiled, soon these people would realize that in the Cyber Realm, levels aren't everything.

...

The three quickly found Welfare Gang mbers at the entrance of the arcade.

"Are you sent by Master? Leaky Bro, he's not here, he went to attack Sanye Street."

The three of them then went to Sanye Street. Fortunately, this street wasn't far; it was only about a ten-minute walk. When they arrived, they were shocked again. There were shattered corpses everywhere, on the ground, on the walls, with bullet holes all around. Several walls had even been blown down.

"In this ga, is the gang firepower this fierce?"

The Big Muscle Dominator who was just mulling over whether to play GTA imdiately chickened out. With his blood volu, probably two bullets would be enough to send him off.

Following the sound of gunfire, in a departnt store building, the three saw chanical freaks wielding chainsaws and dog leg blades repeatedly rushing into the building, so even jumping straight to the second floor.

"Level 5 ordinary gang mbers, Level 9 Welfare Gang thugs, and so Double Flower Red Staff type advanced characters."

The Welfare Gang thugs patrolling outside soon discovered the trio. After Rainy Night with a Knife and No Umbrella presented Gao Gong's token, the leading 3D Bodhisattva Man looked much better and called out. Soon soone handed over a package.

"Leaky is busy, tell Master, this is a gift from our Dragon Head."

Baozi nodded and smiled, "Thank you, big brother. May I ask how to address you, and is there any task?"

"Task?" Bodhisattva Man was stunned for a mont and looked Baozi up and down, sneering, "Just with your small build, without any modification, what help can you offer?"

Baozi wasn't angry, just muttered after the other person left.

"It seems every task has a threshold."

Big Muscle Dominator's eyes were fervently fixed on the other's 3D Bodhisattva tattoo, as the golden Thousand-Handed Guanyin kept folding its hands together with each movent.

"That tattoo is so cool, it must be a skin, a standard golden skin!"

"Can you spend money in this ga? I want to beco strong!"

"Let's go," Baozi sighed, looking at the nearing end of the battle, "As expected, there's only one newbie welfare task available."

The three soon returned to Hanging Street. When they were about to reach the adjacent street, Baozi suddenly paused and poked the Big Muscle Dominator, who was fixated on the 3D Bodhisattva.

"What's wrong?"

"Look."

Not far away was a sign emitting a pink glow, with two virtual girls dancing seductively below it.

"This kind of benefit too!" Big Muscle Dominator stared without blinking.

"Look at the sign, Little Muscle Dominator."

"Hey, I'm called Big Muscle Dominator, not Little Muscle Dominator. You can also call

by my nickna 'Dom Dom'. Besides, what's so interesting about the sign? 'Red Dream Club'," Big Muscle Dominator frowned and thought for a mont, "Why does this na sound familiar?"

"Forum, Sister Ji."

"Damn, this is that silver den!"

Under the electronic sign was an elevator. Clearly, this was an underground club.

Rainy Night Lord stopped Big Muscle Dominator, who wanted to get closer for a look, and nodded toward the card-access guests.

"You can't get in; it's a mbership club," Rainy Night paused, "and it's dangerous."

"Dangerous, where?"

"Killing you wouldn't be a problem."

After Rainy Night Lord finished speaking, he walked away, seemingly with no intention to explain further.

"Is Brother Umbrella suffering from writing too many grand narratives, making him a bit cold in real life?" Baozi muttered.

[Task completed, Experience

100, Mr.G favorability

5 (This favorability can be used for weapon discounts and modification discounts)]

'As expected, modifications are offered here!'

"Boss, is there any other task? We'll definitely help you complete it!" Baozi was full of energy.

Gao Gong smiled and shook his head, starting to turn off the lights, close the windows, and lock the doors.

"Boss, why are you turning off the lights?"

"Of course, it's because the day is over; what else?"

"Even NPCs clock out?"

Gao Gong gave Baozi a deep look, and the next mont, the player panel chid.

[Mr.G's favorability towards you -2]

Baozi felt like slapping himself.

"By the way, here's a friendly tip: find a place to stay quick for the night. Nightless City is very dangerous at night."

"Very dangerous, what do you an?" Big Muscle Dominator asked.

"Even in broad daylight, there are gang fights. What do you think will happen at night?" Rainy Night Lord suddenly sneered.

"If we log out, what happens to our bodies?"

"Do they just vanish?" Big Muscle Dominator said, "I'll try."

The next mont, his eyes rolled back, and he imdiately fainted, with the other two quickly propping him up.

After about a minute, Big Muscle Dominator opened his eyes and woke up.

"How is it? Did it disappear?"

The two shook their heads.

Big Muscle Dominator suddenly tightened, "This ga's anti-harassnt system applies to male players too, right?"

"With a setup like Physical Strength Value, unable to log off directly, and can't recharge, this ga is such a rip-off!"

"It's basically forcing us to work for NPCs to earn money!" Baozi complained.

"I'm hungry," Big Muscle Dominator rubbed his belly, and it actually growled.

"I saw a capsule hotel on the way." Rainy Night Lord suddenly said.

He needed to get so rest soon to restore his Physical Strength Value because he suddenly took on a task during the modification.
