StarTie Simulation: Aren’t you NPCs?

Silver Wolf was in a daze as he looked at the characters displayed on the screen in front of him. After a while, he came back to his senses and said with an inexplicable sigh: "Finally... it's here?"

"But...looking at this situation, it won't be long before the game is completely over, right?"

Silver Wolf picked up the phone at hand, checked the time and silently calculated in his mind: "There are still two days left... that should be enough. After all, the only thing left is fighting. Then I can see if there will be any other events in the middle that will give me a chance to enter the universe."

"Then again... you've skipped a whole month just by cooking a meal? Are you that fast?" Silver Wolf muttered inwardly, somewhat speechlessly.

To be honest, she didn't have the patience to read through her and Wu Xuan's schedule, so skipping it would be a good thing for her. But the good thing about this was... not so good.

How many dishes did she miss to learn?

Thinking of this, she shook her head helplessly. Anyway, it was over. With the "Universal Synthesis Machine", she was not afraid of not having food. This was just an opportunity for her to practice how delicious Wu Xuan's meals were. It was not a big loss for her.

——At least that’s what it seems like now.

Silver Wolf was holding the "Universe Fried Rice" in his hand while looking at the subtitles on the screen, as if he was looking at some cyber pickled mustard.

[A month has passed quickly, and both you and Wu Xuan have gained more powerful abilities and improved in all aspects.]

[Before leaving the black market yesterday, "K" told you to come to his container this morning. It's time to clean up the trouble of the "Slag Gang"]

[You slowly get up from the bed and see Wu Xuan cooking skillfully. There are already a few plates on the folding table not far away. From a distance, it seems that there are mostly meat dishes that are good for hunger.]

[As if noticing your rustling movements, Wu Xuan turned around and smiled at you, then said gently:]

"Silver Wolf~Eat breakfast. Today we should probably go clean up the "Slag Gang". This way... we can enter the "Neon City" soon."

The silver wolf nodded, then quickly jumped up, picked up his bowl and began to eat very seriously.

[Looking at the minced meat and eggplant, beef and egg, and stir-fried chicken wings in front of you, you and Wu Xuan finished all the dishes in just 20 minutes.]

[After cleaning up the battlefield, Wu Xuan looked you up and down, then slowly stood up. His face got closer and closer to you, which made you close your eyes involuntarily.]

[However... the event you expected did not happen. When the imagined feeling did not reach your brain through your lips for a long time... you opened your eyes with some doubts, and saw Wu Xuan's serious black eyes. Then he took the few grains of protein rice stuck on your lips, and then said with seven parts of pampering and three parts of anger:]

"Look at you...how you ate the protein rice everywhere." As he said this, he picked up a tissue from the nearby table, gently wiped the corners of Silver Wolf's mouth, stood up and clapped his hands, then said: "We should set off, Miss Silver Wolf."

Miss Silver Wolf, whose cheeks were still slightly flushed because of the intimate behavior just now, nodded gently, and then followed Wu Xuan to the black market.

[Perhaps because of the suffering they had endured for a month, you and Wu Xuan quickly walked to the container that "K" was in charge of. This time... there was only "K" in front of you, and even "Si" who was usually here was nowhere to be seen.]

"K" stood up when he saw Wu Xuan and Yin Lang push the door open, and placed two stacks of documents in their hands. Then he turned around and searched for something on his counter. Finally, he threw two discs to the two and said:

"The information contains some... people you need to pay attention to, but this is also a precaution. After all, there is no "ether blocker" here. Just using an "ether editor" is enough to kill them all."

"That disc is a foldable smart glasses, which can be used in the same way as the night vision goggles before. Just press it and it will turn into glasses. It has built-in night vision and infrared sensing functions to help you with your cleaning tasks."

Wu Xuan looked at the information in his hand, then at the disc that had just been thrown to him. He looked at "K" with interest and said, "Aren't you afraid... that the two of us will fail there?"

"K" gave Wu Xuan a speechless look, then said, "You two, one can edit a high-speed flying bullet to disappear from reality, and the other can easily teleport the enemy to an unknown place. Need I say more about your self-preservation abilities?"

"Also, there is one Walker of "Cun Hu" and one Walker of "Xu Wu". There are only three Walkers left in the entire "Lu Zha Gang". They are not as good as "Bai Lie". Why should they let you die there?"

"Another thing, do you know that Wu is the top scavenger of Company B in Neon City? Looking across the entire Neon City, there are only a few people who can beat him. Your swordsmanship is recognized by him. How can you not beat them in this world?"

Listening to "K"'s teasing, Wu Xuan scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Now you should explain to us... why did you choose to go at this time?"

"K" shrugged and then said, "It's nothing, actually. Guess what? It's pretty simple."

Wu Xuan rolled his eyes at "K" and then said, "To prevent the short-term alert caused by the death of "Hundred Lie" from affecting the cleanup?"

"Don't you already know this? Why do you need me to tell you?"

"You...! Never mind. I won't argue with you. Let's go now."

"Be careful on the road, Er will be here today, remember to eat at the Black Market tonight."

"I got it~~"

Wu Xuan said "I got it" with a trailing syllable, and then walked with Silver Wolf to the other direction of the "waste mountain". As for cleaning... Since "K" has repeatedly emphasized that it is not difficult for them now, there is no need to worry about it so much.

After all, when they enter the "Neon City", endless fights will be waiting for them, so just take it as an opportunity to adapt to the environment in advance.

"K" looked at the two people who were gradually going away, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and sent a message to the group.

「K」: Everyone, have you packed your things? If you have packed them, we will follow them and make sure they don't get into trouble. Remember, it's still the same plan. Even if we take action, don't show up in public or use shady tactics.

After saying this, "K" put his mobile phone back into his pocket and played with a storage disc in his hand.

Five or six minutes later, he slowly stood up from the chair, picked up a dusty and rusty chain, walked out of the container door, took a last look at the place where he had stayed for more than ten years, and then locked it without hesitation.

The other members of "PokeFace"... were already standing near the gate of the black market, chatting in groups of three or four. When they saw "K" come out, the same desire was revealed in their eyes.

「K」 chuckled, then said: "Let's go, first we will cover for those two little guys, and finally..."

"Let us burn the injustice and evil in that city... to ashes."
