Indescribable cyberpunk

At the end of the meeting, Zhu Jue was retained by the gentleman.

Only one-third of the candle on the table was burned, and the off-white wax oil fell into the concave circle of the candle holder, emitting a smell that could not be said to be fragrant or bad.

Zhu Jue rubbed the ear of the wind chime a little bored and stayed here for more than two hours. Although he was patient enough not to feel irritated, it was better to go home early and continue his "thrilling" assassin career than to waste it here. Good time.

"I've seen the monster just now, what do you think?"

Putting his backpack next to his feet, the gentleman pulled the chair back behind him and sat down. He wanted to know what Zhu Jue thought of these monsters.

"Now is not the past. The strength of this kind of pumpkin man is about the same as that of a ghoul. He can catch a lot of them in dangerous areas, so I don't have any thoughts, if I have to say. In fact, I really want to know how to eat it and cut it into pieces. Add brown sugar?”

When Zhu Jue was a child, his family would often add brown sugar to chopped pumpkin and cook it into a paste. In an era when potato chips and Coke were not yet popular, this was one of the few delicacies that Zhu Jue looked forward to.

However, what Zhu Jue had eaten before was at best the evolved meat of the monster that caused mental pollution. This was a pumpkin monster. Even if its head looked like a pumpkin, God knows if there would be anything weird inside.

"Haha, Mr. Wind Chime's idea is really different, but I only know how to eat this pumpkin raw. Maybe you can try some other cooking methods."

The gentleman’s purpose for keeping Zhu Jue was obviously not to discuss with him which way to eat the pumpkin monster would be better, so after responding, he changed his words,

"This time the profit is 50%, and you only need to give me 10%."

"40% off?"

Although the gentleman said that he would give some special preferential treatment when signing the previous contract, Zhu Jue did not think that the gentleman would give him such a big benefit for nothing. As expected, he must be asking for it, so he added,

"It seems that you need my help with something."

"Yes, I was recently entangled by a dream eater in the realm of fantasy. When he noticed my identity, I also discovered his existence. However, due to some special reasons, I can't take action directly, so I need someone to help me. Go deal with this dream eater. Originally, I planned to entrust this task to Black Swan, but she is an old member of the team, and it is very likely that the other party has discovered her identity. It is best to have you help now."

The gentleman admitted very directly that there was no friendship between the two of them. If you want to let people do things, it would be fake if you don't give them some benefits.

"I can help you, but I have to judge the price based on the opponent's strength. If it's really a big trouble, a few pumpkins won't be enough!"

"No problem, these pumpkins are just a deposit. After the work is completed, there will naturally be other rewards. As for the other party's position in the dreamland, I will tell you tomorrow."

"Okay, I still have to go shopping for clothes. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Medieval-style clothes are not that easy to buy. You have to go to a specialized store. The private customization that the gentleman said is probably not available in time. Zhu Jue plans to go online to see if there is any ready-made clothes to wear first. He has coins in his hand and will wait until they arrive. Just buy one locally.

"What an arrogant gentleman? You haven't even been to the dreamland before trying to resist my will?"

Seeing Zhu Jue's back disappear behind the door, the gentle smile in the gentleman's eyes completely disappeared. He took out his mobile phone, clicked on a certain program, and flicked his fingers from right to left on the screen. After a while, his expression showed disappointment and he said,

"This class of gentlemen travelers is truly the worst class. The income and expenditure have not yet reached a balance. I don't know what kind of changes you can bring to me. It's exciting."

The night in Westbrook District is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful scenery in Auroville City.

Gorgeous lights fill every corner here, as if to completely drive away the obscurity of the night from this city and fill it with carnival instead.

If Watson District is an entertainment and consumption place for middle- and lower-class residents, then Westbrook is a paradise for the upper class. This urban area is a tourism-oriented urban area established by Shuguangcheng. All kinds of entertainment facilities and consumption levels inside are the latest. The world's top level.

Zhu Jue left the club and looked at the ten-story Chinese-style palace building with bright lights in the distance. It was an ancient building that imitated the architectural style of Rongxia City and was specially reproduced in Shuguang City. Unsurprisingly, it was open for entertainment. city.

Withdrawing his gaze and looking towards the street in front of the club, Zhu Jue knew someone was waiting for him.

Sure enough, he just took a few steps forward when the taillights of a sports car parked on the right side of the street flashed twice in a row. He stepped over and it was the AK that had refused Zhu Jue's request in the room before.

"The gentleman is here. He is the BOSS of this team. I can feel that he doesn't like me to have more contact with you. After all, if you want to go to Dreamland, you have to rely on him to take us to the door to another space. Fortunately, you understand what I mean."

As soon as he opened the car door, AK, who was sitting in the driving position, took the initiative to explain.

"Let's talk somewhere where there are no gentlemen?"

Zhu Jue took out the ruby ​​and let it emit a hazy light under the dim lights in the car.

"Of course, I know there is a pretty good nightclub nearby. There are enough people inside, especially at this time, so we don't have to worry about anyone following us."

His eyes swept across the ruby, and amid the low roar of the engine, the sports car made a beautiful flick and drove into another nearby avenue.

The bunny girl walked by carrying champagne wrapped in a golden note. The two bunny ears on her head occasionally turned half a circle to both sides. The white pom-pom behind her butt attracted even more attention. There were more on the nearby stage. The delicate-looking beauty, wearing only a few strips of cloth on her body, danced fieryly.

The host floats above the crowd on a semicircular floating platform, and every time the song changes channels, he will say a line to accompany the scene.

"Hey, if you like it, I'll tell the boss here later and ask him to prepare two for you. It doesn't matter whether they are bunny girls or cat girls."

AK saw Zhu Jue's eyes wandering around and thought he had some "ideas", so he took the initiative to speak.

"You must not, this is the cusp of the storm! Calm down!"

Leaning back on the soft sofa, Zhu Jue threw the gem to AK, then picked up the remote control and closed the door outside the private room directly to isolate the noise outside.

He is a pure person who has abandoned low-level tastes. It is better to leave this colorful world to others.

"It's surprising that a wild boar could get such a gem. What do you want to know?"

Holding the gem tightly with obsession in his eyes, AK asked without looking back.

"Do you know the origin of these gems?"

Zhu Jue still has a dozen pills left in his hand, and sooner or later he will run out of them.

"I don't know, I just heard Rhino mentioned that this type of gemstone is very helpful for humans to perceive spiritual power."

AK had only entered the Dream World once and didn't know much about the situation there. It was really difficult for him to ask for inside information about the Dream World.

Zhu Jue took a sip of his drink, smacked his lips, and thought about asking the question from another angle.

"How did the gentleman find you?"

The situation in the dreamland is unclear, but I should know what happened to me.

"I received a special email and a bottle of wine, and then he came to the door with a rhinoceros in person. I failed to defeat him. That battle made me understand that ordinary humans can also burst out with such powerful power, so I chose Join his team and try to obtain magical power to evolve myself to a higher level."

If you can't beat them, then join. This is probably AK's idea.

Zhu Jue just nodded calmly after hearing this. This process is not very different from the process of joining this team. In other words, the trial or evaluation before joining will determine the treatment of the team members.

It's just that AK lost, and not only did he win, he also killed the person who tested him with one blow.

"How much do you know about Shuojin Bank?"

Zhu Jue was undoubtedly very interested in this organization that he had never heard of before.

"I heard from the gentleman that it is a very powerful mysterious organization with huge power. Shuojin Bank controls dozens of brigades like ours. In fact, I also asked Rhino the same question. The information he knows is similar to I’m almost.”

When talking about Shuojin Bank, AK's expression was a bit strange.

"Rhinoceros knows almost as much as you do. Haven't you all been to Dreamland? Have you never met other people from Shuojin Bank?"

AK doesn’t know that it’s excusable. Rhino seems to be a person who has been to Dreamland twice, so he doesn’t know?

"No, at least I haven't seen it. It may be because I have only participated in one trip. I didn't see anyone when I entered the space gate last time. The gentleman said that because of competition between the brigade groups, they often act They will deliberately avoid other brigades in order to avoid unintentional fighting and deliberate tracking."

"But what about your things? Didn't you say that they would be deposited in Shuojin Bank? You didn't deposit anything?"

In Zhu Jue's view, since everyone has a key in their hand, they should contact Shuojin Bank when it comes time to store things.

"No, all my weapons and equipment are stored in it. The gentleman is responsible for this matter. Before going to the dream world, we will put the things we want to bring with us in a special box and give it to the gentleman. He will It was sent to the dream world through the special method of Shuojin Bank, and the same is true when returning. I think this may be to keep it secret, after all, not everyone can know about that method."

AK picked up the bottle and drank it, and said helplessly,

"Who said we are newcomers? We don't even have the opportunity to contact the top management. Maybe we have to be as powerful as a black swan to be qualified."

"It seems to be true. It must be very difficult to become a high-level person."

Zhu Jue agreed, but his eyes were shining.

It’s a bit too difficult to be a newcomer in five years, isn’t it?
