Cyberpunk: My system is divided into good and evil

Chapter 147 Black Gold Craze

Looking at Reiko Osaka's expression, Lucifer's eyes welled up with anger.

Half of this anger came from himself, and the other half was undoubtedly because of what Reiko Osaka said just now.

The story he told Jiang Shu when they had breakfast together at the Saigao Street Police Station was half true and half false.

At least... when Melanie appeared in front of me in the moonlight that night, the thumping of my heart was real.

He can kill people, he can set fire, but that doesn't prevent him from loving that girl who looks a little silly.

His image can be shattered in front of Melanie, just like he was deliberately blocked by Melanie in the hotel room when he could be invisible.

But he would never allow Melanie to be in danger.

Taking a deep breath, Lucifer's flaming eyes finally calmed down, and he said softly, "Okay, I will enter the Badlands with Melanie..."

"However, I want someone I can't requisition." Lu Xihua looked at Osaka Reiko who was nodding in satisfaction, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Ye Nuan... the youngest A+ rank mecha pilot in the security mecha brigade member."

"Ye Nuan..." Reiko Osaka raised her slender eyebrows slightly, as if recalling the specific character represented by this familiar name.

After thinking for a while, Reiko Osaka nodded, "I will ask Minister Aden to cooperate with you."

"Similarly, I also want two A+ battle mechs." Lucifer coughed, "One 'Death Scythe' and one 'Moon Swordsman'."

"...Okay." Osaka Reiko stared slightly, then nodded in agreement.

Even if Reiko Osaka is one of the heirs of the Osaka military industry, it is unbelievable to have such financial power and influence... Lucifer narrowed his eyes slightly, but nodded with a blank expression on his face.

He lowered his head and picked up a cup of tea, looking at the little ripples on the tea, he felt a little irritable for no reason.

……

……

The white-based pickup truck stopped at the door of a food store in the small town of Maqin after refilling alcohol fuel at the door and buying another four or five barrels of alcohol fuel.

The vehicle was parked securely, Jiang Shu and the three of them pushed the door down and walked into the food store together.

Soon, the three of them got out with big bags and small bags of food, and stuffed them into the car with difficulty.

Leaning on the car door and unscrewing a bottle of mineral water produced in Emerald City, Jiang Shu sipped his mouth to relax his tired spirit from driving for a long time.

At this moment, relying on his excellent hearing, he suddenly heard a rustling discussion sound from afar.

Following the sound, Jiang Shu looked over, and saw a small restaurant not far from the food store.

At the entrance of the restaurant, on a gray-black dining table, four or five people were sitting around eating.

While eating, they were discussing in a low voice.

"Is that true or false?"

"What's real or fake?"

"About the black gold vein in Turing Town... Is there really a black gold vein in the back mountain of Turing Town?"

"I can't tell... But recently, many homeless people I know have gone there, but none of them came back. It's very strange..."

"Maybe he died on the road... Isn't it commonplace to beg for food in the bad land?"

"If there really is an unowned black gold vein there... Before those big tribes come to occupy it, there can be a quick cash payment!"

"I'm going to try it..."

"Take me one!"

"..."

"..."

Jiang Shu frowned slightly.

Black gold veins?

He remembered that it was recorded in the data that there had been no new black gold veins in Badlands for nearly 20 years...

At present, all the black gold veins are mined less and less, which makes the price of black gold remain high in Badlands and Emerald City in recent years.

Just when he was wondering, the system's ding ding came online again after a long absence.

"Ding, side mission detected: Black Gold Fever!"

"Did you know? People are always happily rushing to an unknown tragedy."

"Sub-quest: Black Gold Fever."

"Mission details: Now that you have come to the Badlands, how can you not appreciate the customs of the Badlands, the 'love' and 'beauty' here? Go and see the black gold mine in Turing Town, and tear it up. Break its disguise and add a real goodness to the Badlands."

"Task reward: physical strength +5, mental strength +1."

"Mission penalty: none."

"Does the host accept the mission?"

Jiang Shu looked at the blue subtitles that appeared in front of his eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and hesitated.

To be honest, at this moment, he doesn't want to make extra troubles in the Badlands.

After all, killing Mick Alsace and then sneaking back to Emerald City to rescue Lucifer is more important.

But the temptation of 5 points of stamina is too great for him.

He quickly took out the communication terminal in his pocket and took a look at the map on the bad land. Jiang Shu discovered that the Turing Town mentioned by the group of wanderers was not far from the town of Maqin where he was currently.

If calculated based on the speed of my pickup truck, it would probably be more than an hour's drive.

It's just a waste of half a day... And if the task is really too difficult to complete, it's always okay to sneak away, right?

After all, there is no mission penalty!

While thinking about it, Jiang Shu decided to take on this task.

With a thought, the task clicked to confirm.

"Ding, the task has been received."

With the sound of ding ding, the blue light curtain of the system also disappeared in front of Jiang Shu's eyes.

Putting the communication terminal back into his waist, Jiang Shu got into the car and began to discuss with Kokiko and Lupa about diverting to the small town of Turing.

Jiang Shu even made a decision in his heart. If Lupa and Jiagu Jizi didn't want to waste time on this, let them go first, and find another car to go to Turing Town to have a look.

Who knew that as soon as the matter about the black gold mine was said, both of them became more enthusiastic about this matter than Jiang Shu expected.

After all, a new black gold vein, no matter who it is, is indeed news worthy of attention.

Soon, the three people who reached an agreement no longer delay.

Jiang Shu clenched the steering wheel and started the engine.

The white body of the pickup, which was covered with a layer of gray dust, suddenly changed direction, and then drove towards the direction of Turing Town.

Driven by Jiang Shu, the pickup truck ran over weathered and mottled stones along the way, passed countless flaming bomb craters and piles of dead branches, and finally saw the town of Turing after more than an hour.

Unlike Bloody Night Town and Maqin Town, which are dominated by gray and black tones, Jiang Shu and the three sitting in the car saw a blue ocean through the windshield before driving into Turing Town. .

The exteriors of all the houses in Turing Town are painted blue.

For a moment, Jiang Shu had the illusion of being in a seaside resort.
