StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

The universe is vast and boundless. Since the emergence of the "Synesthesia Beacon", many problems in interstellar navigation have been solved. With the emergence of the "pioneering" Akivalli and his followers, the "Anonymous Guests", the myriad worlds are connected together with "star tracks".

At this moment, on the ancient "Star Track", a small spaceship was shuttling back and forth. On it sat a girl wearing avant-garde clothes, purple goggles on her head, and a rare single diamond ponytail.

She was chewing bubble gum out of boredom, fiddling with her cell phone with her left hand, and piloting the spaceship with her right hand.

As the top hacker in the entire universe, Silver Wolf naturally has the ability to "play" like this.

To her, the whole world is like a game. She is looking for "meaning" in this game, not only the meaning of her own existence, but also the meaning of the existence of the entire universe.

Suddenly, a phone call came in. Silver Wolf frowned and looked at the caller ID on the phone: Kafka.

After thinking it over again and again, she decided to turn on the spacecraft's autopilot mode first, and then answered a call from another "colleague"... or "best friend".

Before Silver Wolf could speak, a lazy female voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Silver Wolf? Is everything going well?"

The girl seemed a little unhappy when she heard this, and said unhappily, "How could it not go smoothly? By the way, why did you ask me to go to the "space station" in advance? Just to install surveillance?"

"That's right. Come back as soon as you finish installing the surveillance. You can't expose yourself to those people in advance. There is a saying... "Well begun is half done." "

"Not to mention such an important 'drama', the 'first act' is of course even more important, so there is no room for error."

The lazy female voice on the other end of the phone gradually became serious, as if admonishing the playful girl to be more restrained, while Silver Wolf shrugged helplessly and said indifferently: "Okay, since you said so, I will come back after hacking into the surveillance and setting up the secret door."

"Well, that's right~"

As the call was hung up, Silver Wolf looked at the autopiloting spaceship in front of him, held his chin and thought for a while, muttered in a low voice: "Is it time to clear my energy?" Then he turned on his mobile phone, and when he was about to start a two-word game, an email popped up on the phone, followed by a light screen that appeared out of thin air.

Seeing this scene, Silver Wolf raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then opened the email without any hesitation. To be honest, she didn't quite believe that anyone could hack into all the electronic devices related to her.

She is a new generation "Legend" from "Punklord", the birthplace of most of the top hackers in the universe. The probability of having her electronic equipment hacked by others... You might as well say that you were flying a spaceship and saw "Hunter" Lan chasing "Abundant" Pharmacist with your own eyes.

——It’s pure nonsense

After reading the email from an unknown sender, Silver Wolf looked at the light screen that suddenly appeared in front of him with great interest, and said to himself: "Which "genius" developed this thing? "Screw Gumm", he shouldn't do such a thing, right?"

"But... since it's called "The Sims Game", it's still a game after all~ The guys in the "Genius Club" shouldn't be so boring, or... they just don't bother to develop such a thing?"

Thinking of this, Silver Wolf looked at her mobile phone, then looked at the distance between herself and the "Black Tower Space Station". She decisively put her phone aside, reached out and tapped the light screen in front of her, and a very classic loading interface appeared in front of the girl.

[Welcome player: Silver Wolf, enter the game]

[Please select game mode]

Silver Wolf looked at the strange names on them, such as "Fictional Simulation", "Creative Simulation" and "Existence Simulation", which made it sound like the things in the Xianzhou storybook about ascending to heaven and beheading the three corpses.

"Why do you have three modes for your game, but the last two are under maintenance, leaving only "Fictional Simulation"?"

The girl complained helplessly, then clicked on "Fictional Simulation".

But this time, the imagined loading interface did not appear, and instead there was a subtitle that made Silver Wolf even more interested in this game.

[This simulation location: Punklod]

"Wow? This game can also choose the corresponding simulation location based on the player's background. Interesting..." Silver Wolf lowered her head slightly, and the goggles on her forehead slid down. Miss Silver Wolf completely entered the "serious state".

But this time...the scene of his hometown did not appear in front of Silver Wolf, but instead there was a warning similar to the one that every game has for people with "photosensitive epilepsy".

[Note: The original intention of developing this game is to let players understand the ideas to be conveyed in the game, not to destroy or tamper with it]

[Note: Every time a player finishes a game, they will be evaluated based on their performance in the simulation and receive corresponding rewards]

Silver Wolf raised her eyebrows. To be honest, she really didn't understand what these two obviously unnecessary sentences were trying to express, so she casually clicked on the light screen in front of her and officially entered the game.

[Main Quest: Entering the Legend of the Star Sea]

[In a fictional timeline, once again step into the vast sea of ​​stars]

Silver Wolf looked at the text in front of him and frowned slightly, a little bit unbelievable, but not unbelievable about the main task, but...

"No? If you can't make games, can you just not make them? It looks like a role-playing game. Which role-playing game doesn't have side quests?" Silver Wolf muttered to himself in disbelief.

Veteran players like Silver Wolf naturally have high requirements for the game, but this does not mean that the game is not fun. It just means that the side quests may not be enough.

"But then again... side quests in role-playing games may appear during the game, so it's worth paying attention to every NPC~"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene in the game had already been loaded.

[The only employee in the fast food restaurant said goodbye to the hostess and walked towards the "waste mountain". At this moment, a new "legend" rose like a morning star]

[But everyone knows that "Punklord" is not a place where one can survive alone. Whether it is a "bounty hunter" or any other profession, if you are alone... I am afraid that even basic survival cannot be guaranteed, so you decide to find a partner first.]

Silver Wolf looked at the words on the screen and said approvingly: "The data investigation is well done. The database should be quite large. It's getting interesting~"

"But~ At this time, I should be a "Prometheus" instead of looking for some... "partner"."

Silver Wolf seemed to be somewhat disdainful, but her personal experience only told her one thing: those "middlemen" were not unwilling to assign tasks to individuals, but they were afraid that the tasks could not be completed, resulting in being held accountable by the other party.

[You took out a cloak from your pocket and casually put it on. You knew very well that concealing your identity was also a very important task in "Punk Lord"]

[Thanks to your relatively petite figure, you were wrapped tightly in a cloak. With such a sense of security, you walked into a "tavern"]

[This is a place where many "bounty hunters" relax, and there are also many newcomers and lone wolves. You believe that with your vision, you can always find a suitable partner]

[You cleared your throat and walked to the bar of the "tavern". Looking at the bartender in front of you, you deliberately lowered your voice and said:]

"Are there any needs for team formation recently?"

"Yes, of course." The bartender wiped the glass and threw a list to Silver Wolf.

At this moment, what Silver Wolf saw on the display was not a list, but a character UI interface like a card drawing game.

Silver Wolf raised his eyebrows and browsed through the attributes of these "characters" with interest.

Under this intuitive reflection, "characters" like SSR or UR seem so precious.

Silver Wolf's slender jade fingers slowly slid across the light screen, trying to find a "character card" that was not so blue or white. When the progress bar was almost one-fifth left, Silver Wolf couldn't help but complain: "Why are there so many N cards or R cards... These people are either street thugs or thieves, and they are also "bounty hunters"... It's a lie to say that they are a mob."

"Instead of teaming up with someone like this, I might as well do things on my own... Wait, what is this?" Silver Wolf hadn't finished complaining when a purple light flashed as the progress bar reached the bottom. Unlike those N or R cards with the same old style, this SR card had its own illustration.

However...for Silver Wolf, the issue of portrait can be put aside for now, and attributes and talents are the top priority.

【Wu Xuan (SR?)】

[Talents: Hacker Talent, Close Combat, Sword Mastery, Game Talent]

[Description: A newcomer with great potential. Maybe... he can help you a lot in the future.]

Silver Wolf raised her eyebrows, although she didn’t quite understand why other character cards were rated like [Richard (N)] or [Cuttlefish (R)], while this Wu Xuan was... [Wu Xuan (SR?)]?

"What is this? An official announcement? Or a game plug-in?" Silver Wolf muttered to himself as he pulled the card that was glowing purple to the center of the light screen, followed by a relatively complete portrait.

A man with short black hair and black pupils leaned against the wall. His deep black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything. The index finger of his right hand was gently placed on his thin lips, as if signaling someone to be quiet.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter if there are no SSR and UR, but SR is not bad either. Maybe this is the character that will definitely appear in the first ten draws at the beginning of the game?"

While Silver Wolf was having fun, several spiral staircases suddenly appeared in a corner of the starry sea, and those stairs seemed to be surrounding something. Almost soon after those stairs appeared, a strange humanoid jellyfish suddenly appeared in the center of those stairs.

The lower middle part of the structure that looked like a human face opened and closed, as if it was saying something.

But... this person is a hard-to-see existence, more dangerous than any "God".

"Mystery" - myth.

If there was a "god" of the same rank as Him present at this moment, he would definitely be able to hear the message He concealed in that strange musical note:

"The experiment...begins."
