StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

[You look at the fair-skinned girl in front of you and fall into deep thought, wondering whether this guy in front of you can complete the task without hindering you.]

Wu Xuan was speechless as he looked at the narration in front of him. With his God's perspective, he knew that the person in front of him was a top-notch ruthless man who killed his way through the "Slag Gang" single-handedly. How could he have such unrealistic thoughts when simulating himself in the story?

[You look at the pair of gray eyes in front of you, and an inexplicable feeling creeps into your heart. You always feel that the girl in front of you has some kind of power that you don't understand. For people who live in the "wilderness", this feeling is enough to explain many problems. The girl in front of you may really be able to help you a lot.]

[With this thought in mind, you also think about the fact that no one has come to form a team this afternoon, or perhaps... you simply look down on those who need to form a team. The idea of ​​forming a team with the girl in front of you becomes stronger and stronger, and you finally reach out your hand and say:]

"Wu Xuan, please take care of me."

Just after he said this in the game, a lot of information started to pop up in the lower left corner, making Wu Xuan dizzy.

[The character Silver Wolf joins the team, the panel is as follows:]

【Silver Wolf (UR)】

[Abilities: top hacking technology, firearms proficiency, game proficiency, electronic equipment control, smart weapon manufacturing (one-time), "nothingness" destiny walker]

[Description: A gifted hacker and gaming genius, maybe in the future she can break the rules and rush into the universe, but... that is only in the future]

After Wu Xuan finished reading the description, he habitually clicked the "X" in the upper right corner of the information card. Then, a card shining with golden light appeared on the screen. The live2D image of the Silver Wolf was drawn on the card:

A girl dressed in avant-garde clothes and wearing purple goggles was sitting on a big box, swinging her legs boredly. Her gray eyes seemed to be looking for something that could arouse her interest.

There is a sentence written in the lower right corner of the entire gold card: The game is a game, nothing more.

Wu Xuan looked at the silver wolf making subtle movements in front of him, and after admiring it for a while, he decided to turn off the card and focus on the plot.

However, Silver Wolf's character information and card face were only part of this message reminder. Just as Wu Xuan closed this interface, a task he had never seen before appeared: "Stage Task"

[Stage Mission (1/3): The game called "Scrap Mountain" is over]

[Completion conditions: Annihilate the "Slag Gang"]

[Reward: Select the result calculation function to unlock]

Wu Xuan didn't feel anything at first, until he saw the reward. Now he wanted to go over and destroy the "Slag Gang" immediately.

"So far, this game has already had several choices, which proves from another perspective: many key options of this game are driven by choices. If you can know the subsequent results in advance... isn't that equivalent to having a plug-in?" Wu Xuan thought.

"But... we still have to destroy the Slag Gang first, and then we can continue to push the plot."

[In fact, the current situation is quite simple. Two people who can obviously do things independently are bound by these rules and have to find teammates to accept tasks. Now the question is: when the two people don’t know each other very well, what kind of tasks should they accept? ]

【1. Tasks with lower difficulty】

【2. Tasks of medium difficulty】

[3. Extremely difficult tasks]

[Tip: You can give priority to Silver Wolf’s opinion]

Wu Xuan looked at the options in front of him, which were all the same, and the prompt words that were obviously the key points, and fell into deep thought: Is there really anyone who would put this kind of thing out in the open when making a game?

"Silver Wolf is one of the most ruthless men in Punklord... let's leave this kind of thing to someone experienced." Wu Xuan thought as he closed the selection window, then clicked on the image of Silver Wolf on the screen. An option for dialogue and communication appeared on the screen, and the following dialogue... began to let the game play freely.

[Considering that the entire team is not just you, but also a girl, you should also ask her opinion, so you said to the girl in front of you:]

"Ms. Silver Wolf, what kind of mission do you plan to take this time?"

[The girl raised her eyes to look at you. There was not a trace of doubt in her grey eyes. She immediately gave her answer:]

"Let's take on less difficult tasks first... New teams always have to go through a run-in period, don't they?"

Silver Wolf’s words were quite pertinent, and Wu Xuan summoned the light curtain again without hesitation, choosing option one to carry out the less difficult task.

After making the selection, the game screen changed and came to the familiar bar.

[You and Silver Wolf covered your facial features and walked to the bar. The young bartender was still standing inside, wiping the wine glasses, and seemed not to care about your presence at all.]

[But you and Silver Wolf don't care about this. After all... you are just "newbie bounty hunters" who have just entered the industry. It is normal to be ignored.]

[You tapped the table with your index finger and said:]

"Hello, let's take a look at the tasks with relatively low difficulty and low mortality rate."

The bartender looked at you, then looked at the Silver Wolf who was wrapped tightly beside you, and then took out a list from the bar. On it were tasks such as "arresting criminals" and "cleaning up crazy people".

[The former is from the missions in the "Oasis Area". Those "criminals" committed crimes in the "Oasis Area" and fled to the "Scrap Mountain" or "Wilderness"]

[In order to save trouble, and to give those who are trying to survive in the "wilderness" a way out that seems to have some hope, the "building" in the "oasis area" will hand over these escaped "criminals" to these middlemen, who will then entrust them to the tavern, and finally they will be killed by the "bounty hunters"]

[After all, "criminals" are still "criminals" and not "walkers". Although some of them have some relatively strange powers, they are only a small part after all. The rest are more in line with the theme of "tempering and coordinating"]

[As for the latter... it is the name given to those guys in "Scrap Mountain" who do not follow the gang rules. They do things in a crazy way, and some even have mental problems. These people will affect the order, so they need to be gradually cleared out by "bounty hunters". ]

[But since the rewards have always been low, no one has ever taken these missions. Even if they are to hone your combat skills... you can't expect those lunatics to fight you normally, right?]

[After thinking for a moment, you chose to accept a mission to hunt down a criminal, and the bartender handed you the corresponding portrait and location without any hesitation, and then stopped talking.]

[Side quest triggered: Hunting down the "criminal" and crushing his skull]
