Indescribable cyberpunk

His eyes scanned the surrounding environment, rows of exotic-looking houses, and people in simple clothes walking around.

Wearing a hooded outfit, Zhu Jue moved according to the movements of the people around him. His hidden sword was hidden under his robes, and the cold touch kept Zhu Jue's brain awake at all times.

The gray mist on the skill icon in the lower left corner is gradually disappearing.

The target is the man standing in front of the fruit stall. He always looks around when buying fruit. Occasionally, when he raises his hand, you can see the reflection of the metal in his cuffs through the sunlight.

snort.

He is really a novice assassin. It seems that it is necessary for him, the master assassin, to educate him on what a true Creed Assassin is.

The distance keeps getting closer.

The palm of his hand was slightly raised, and the hidden sword was ready to be unsheathed. The sword was smeared with the highly toxic potion he bought with krypton money last night. It would definitely seal his throat with blood!

Uh-huh~

Red spots of light overflowed from his chest. When he lowered his head, he could only see the tip of the sword being pulled away. When he turned around, he could only see a man wrapped in a gray robe that was exactly the same as the passers-by around him, retreating.

"You are really a novice assassin. You actually dare to wear a pure white suit and go out to assassinate. Are you worried that others will not find you?"

As a sneer reached his ears, the scene in front of him instantly fell into darkness.

There is only one death reminder left: You were stabbed in the back by "Ezio's Mentor", the damage is being calculated. One hit will kill you!

"Uhhh!!!"

Zhu Jue, who was wearing VR glasses, was rolling on the floor of the room frantically, and the wind chime next to him also flipped along with it.

The number one master assassin in the Heywood District is also training intently as an apprentice today.

"Assassin's Creed: Citywide Assassination"

An online VR game announced two years ago, all players can set their own identities after logging in, and then choose what kind of identity they will live in the city.

The content of the game is very simple. The player must act as a normal resident while using various channels to find other players in the city who are also pretending to be ordinary people and complete the assassination before they are aware of it.

"Mr. Ivanka, please don't forget your agreement with Mr. Gentleman."

The voice prompt of the memo made Zhu Jue take off his VR glasses a little irritably, stood up and walked to the sink.

The place agreed upon by both parties was a private club in the Westbrook District.

"Have you ever had a dream?"

The gentleman, who was dressed the same as when he first saw him, was leaning in front of the desk. Next to him was a gold candlestick. The bright yellow flame set off the white candle. It was not a holographic projection, but a real object.

Similar candlesticks were placed throughout the room, barely illuminating this quaint study.

"Do you think any normal person has never had a dream? Doesn't the place you chose have electricity?"

Zhu Jue looked at the layout of the room in front of him. It was completely unlike the high-end place he had seen outside when he came here before.

There are wooden bookshelves placed around the wall. What is strange is that there is not even a single book on them. The gentleman's desk is in the middle of these bookshelves. The floor under his feet is even paved with bricks and stones, and there are still some books in the gaps. Floating ash.

It is hard to imagine that Zhu Jue was flying through the sky above Shuguang City in an airship five minutes ago, and suddenly arrived in such an ancient room five minutes later.

The sudden change in the environment made him feel inexplicably confused.

If the phone hadn't been able to receive signals normally, Zhu Jue might have asked what year and month it was.

"I bought this place and renovated this room as a gathering and meeting place for the team. When I originally decorated this place, I really asked the designers to decorate it according to the European medieval state, so even the most basic lighting was No, the reason is to adapt to certain environments in advance. Before each trip, I will ask the group members to gather here, on the one hand to discuss travel plans, and on the other hand to change their mentality."

The gentleman's eyes lingered on the wind chime for a moment, and then he continued,

"Let's get back to the topic. Have you ever thought about your dreams coming true?"

"Hey, if you called me here because you want to talk to me about your dreams, I advise you not to waste that time. We are all adults. Can't we speak more directly?"

Hearing the meaning of the gentleman's words, Zhu Jue frowned and replied calmly.

Zhu Jueke had never had any feelings of respect or fear for the guy next to him. If he hadn't known some special information on the corridor outside 1103, he would have been cold by now.

A gentleman could make Zhu Jue vaguely aware of a threat, but not as much as the middle-aged man he met in the black market before.

"You are indeed a very interesting person. No one has spoken to me like this for a long time, so I will be more straightforward. Have you played the game I gave you two days ago?"

The candlelight beside him trembled for a moment, and the gentleman's eyes were fixed and he kept smiling.

"The game is not bad, but why did you give me that game?"

The game Zhu Jue was talking about was, of course, "Assassin's Creed: City Assassination". It was not bought online. Instead, a gentleman delivered the game and the supporting game equipment to the door by courier, and notified Zhu Jue that he would return it when he came out to sign for it. I was stunned for a while, and after checking again and again that there was no problem, I opened it and played with it for two days.

"Some of the settings of this game are very similar to what we are going to experience next, so I will give it to you as a novice tutorial. I used to prepare a copy for them when I recruited new players."

"Tomorrow night, we are going to the different space you mentioned before. We call it Dreamland here. Its world environment is somewhat similar to the environment in the game. It is quite similar to the living conditions in the European Middle Ages. You can think that you It’s about creating new characters within it.”

"We must find a way to hide our identities. We must not let anyone know except our teammates, because there are many enemies, not only people with the same identity as us, but also some natives in the dreamland. They are keen on killing Let’s get something, after all, outsiders are not always easy to accept.”

"Dream merchant, this is a main profession, and it is also the unified identity of all of us. However, as everyone's thoughts and actions are different, most people will take the initiative to 'change professions.' I formed a team of travelers for the purpose of We are looking for treasures in dreams, and those who specifically seek trouble for us are dream eaters, including dream merchants and some beings with more special identities. This situation is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to explain it in a short time. You just need to know that there is basically no possibility of negotiation or cooperation between Dream Eaters and Travelers, so don’t be deceived by some Dream Eaters. That’s all for now, I think it should be simple enough.”

These contents are obviously an abbreviated version, and the gentleman has no intention of finishing the information about the dream world in one breath, because the information he has learned so far is only two places he has been to. He really needs to analyze something. Not very realistic.

But even so, the "captain" of the team is still responsible. In order to make the newcomer Zhu Jue understand earlier, he even found a game to give an example.

Listening to his introduction, Zhu Jue on the side subconsciously recalled the scene he had seen in Fang Doushan's different space.

You must know that Zhu Jue always thought that the alien space was just a wasteland with monsters. Unexpectedly, there were people living in it. Thinking about it, the weird and disgusting screams he heard at that time were not the wasteland. Rumor?

"what's on your mind?"

Zhu Jue's meditation attracted the gentleman's attention.

"What can I get out of this so-called trip?"

In fact, Zhu Jue didn't particularly care about the name of this different space or the weird enemies in it. He came to participate in this matter just to obtain treasures that could strengthen his mental power.

What he couldn't wait to know was how to obtain them from this alien space.

"This is a good question. I think you should have experienced the effectiveness of the previous novice gift pack. It can discover the special power of human beings. Some people call it spiritual power, while others propose soul energy or telekinesis and so on. title, but there is no doubt that it is a power that truly belongs to human beings, rather than ability injections, mechanical modifications, and other enhancements achieved with the help of external technology or other technologies. Of course, I am not saying that the latter is not strong, it’s just that It’s just stating a relative concept.”

The gentleman seemed to be well prepared for Zhu Jue's question. He turned slightly sideways and brushed his finger over the candle flame at the top of the candle. The next second, a flame was guided to his finger, and then the flame seemed to be carried by some invisible force. The palm of the hand is stretched and twisted,

"This ability is extremely rare in our world, and only a small number of people have access to it, but in the dream world, it is very common. Those living in the ancient world abandoned technology and embraced mystery, and What we people have to do is to use the power of technology to better embrace the mystery."

"The dream world is very special. Some ancient books that have been passed down to this day believe that it is a world composed of human dreams, but it has its own development trajectory. In that world, there are many special items, and they can be obtained in various ways. For example, the wine I gave you before came from a rodent monster in a certain forest. Its function is to enhance the soul or spiritual power, and most people go to that world to pursue the same thing, liberating the soul!"

Perhaps in order to arouse Zhu Jue's interest, the gentleman even deliberately raised his tone when mentioning this matter.

"Liberating the soul sounds interesting."

Zhu Jue replied with a strange expression. He wanted to look happy, but he just couldn't get excited.

God knows how weird Zhu Jue felt when he discovered that the ultimate goal of these people turned out to be something he had completed a week ago.

No wonder the great race would say that this was an important skill comparable to the crystal technology of the Ancients before helping him liberate his soul.

Is this what it feels like to be a winner in life?
