Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Wow~ wow~"

Deep in the underwater tunnel, a monster made up of several rats was tearing into the bodies of some unlucky rat removal company employees, and they made baby-like sounds from time to time.

One of the monsters seemed to have no vigilance and revealed its core, which was half a human face and half a rat's head. It seemed that its transformation was not very successful.

"Buzz~"

Something flew out from the shadow of the car wreckage nearby, making a slight vibrating sound. The sound quickly approached the core of the monster and attracted its attention.

The core of the monster turned its head and felt a slightly reflective object scratching its half human face. Then its perspective changed strangely. The eyes on its human half of the face quickly dropped and rolled around, allowing it to see the rest of its body.

Half of its face was cut off.

"Buzz~buzz~"

The monster that lost half of its core disintegrated into a swarm of rats again, slowly repairing its cut core. The thing flew back into the darkness, and at the same time, faint footsteps were heard, quickly moving away from here.

Not far away, in the pipeline maintenance room in the tunnel, the door lock was pried open by something, the door opened a crack, and someone slipped in.

Inside the maintenance room, it is very safe, there are no rats, and there are lights in the maintenance room, illuminating the room.

Lu An appeared here. She was carrying a sports shoulder bag and had something on her wrist, which was a bracelet.

"Equipment Name: The Taoist Priest's Magical Weapon"

"Equipment Type: Weapon"

"Skill Effect: Use specific hand gestures to launch a replica of the bracelet. The replica has the "cutting" trait and can be manually locked or automatically track the enemy's weaknesses. Automatic tracking will hit the target, but the damage is reduced."

"Equipment conditions: unique, family inheritance"

"Equipment description: This is a bracelet made of a mixture of jade and metal. There are some obscure ancient Chinese characters engraved on the outside, and a few words hand-carved on the inside, "May my grandson be safe and meet noble people who can help him." Although the font is small, it is vigorous and powerful. The outer ring of the bracelet can be rotated, and it will make a faint "buzzing" sound when it rotates."

"Features: The bracelet has a certain degree of protection and warning effect, but it may attract a strange existence."

This thing is what Lu An said, something very important to her. It is a relic left to her by her late grandfather. She has been wearing it on her hand since her grandfather passed away. However, she left the bracelet at home when she left home last time. This time when she goes back to do business, getting the bracelet back is also an important part of her mission.

However, something strange happened when Lu An put on the bracelet again. Lu An actually saw the data panel of the Infinite City in the real world. Although there were many restrictions, all the functions that could be opened were fully usable.

For example, Lu An now discovered that he was suddenly able to use the map, and that he suddenly had an additional task.

"Mission type: faction mission"

“Task name: First day at work”

“Mission objective: Find a way to contact the Human Resources Department”

"Task introduction: Today is the first day that Mr. H, the new head of the external affairs department, takes office. As Mr. H's only personal assistant, you also have to leave a good impression on your boss and other colleagues on your first day. You decide to inform the Human Resources Department of Mr. H's appointment on behalf of Mr. H, who doesn't pay much attention to details. Since you have a good relationship with Mr. H, he told you the phone number of the Human Resources Department, which is 9453."

“Task Reward: Improve the favorability of Mr. H, the department director, and greatly increase the reputation of the “Wangchuan” company (current reputation level: accepted)”

"Penalty for failure: brain death"

"Special rules: Mr. H cannot find you before he finds a way to contact the Human Resources Department. Each department has a different number to contact the Human Resources Department. You got the number for the External Affairs Department to contact the Human Resources Department."

After Lu An read the task prompt that suddenly appeared, he did not react much to the extremely harsh conditions of the task.

"Sure enough, sooner or later, you will get your comeuppance for your misdeeds. I have become a miserable wage earner. Let's get to work!"

However, Lu An was a little curious. Through the brief conversation with Han Zu and the prompt of the task, Lu An knew that this Mr. H was Han Zu, a real person who lived in the real world just like himself. But why could completing the task increase his favorability?

Clicking on the reputation/favorability interface, Lu An saw that favorability and reputation were almost the same, and were divided into several levels from low to high.

Wanted＜Hate＜Hostile＜Hateful＜Hated＜Disliked＜Stranger＜Normal＜Accepted＜Friendly＜Respected＜Worshipped＜Believers

"Wow~ wow~"

The sound of the monster outside the maintenance room interrupted Lu An's thoughts. This place might become unsafe soon. He looked around quickly and found a gap in the pipe, which was connected to another maintenance passage of the undersea tunnel. Lu An threw the bag over first, then bent his body and squeezed through the gap in the pipe.

This maintenance passage is relatively safe because it is not directly connected to the tunnel, so the rats have not discovered this place yet. Lu An saw that although the target of the mission was not accurately marked on his map, it was considerate enough to give an approximate range. A circular highlighted area was nearby.

However, the mission area is not small and it is not easy to find, not to mention the rats lurking in the tunnels.

After leaving the maintenance passage, Lu An returned to the inside of the tunnel. It was relatively safe here for the time being. There were not many rats. A large number of rats and monsters were rushing towards the entrance of the tunnel, as if they were besieging something.

Taking this opportunity, Lu An entered the mission area, which was a fork in the tunnel. For some reason, this fork had not been repaired and was a dead end, blocked by concrete walls and some metal barricades. However, there was a small door left for construction workers to pass through.

When I walked to the small door, I found it was locked. What was special was that this door should not appear in an unfinished construction site because it was a door similar to a bank vault, except that its shape was an ordinary rectangular door instead of a round one.

Lu An knocked on the door. Judging from the sound, the door was at least ten centimeters thick and most likely solid. In addition to a keyhole, there was also an electronic keyboard for entering a four-digit password. For some reason, it was still working properly.

"Not enough value to destroy"

Sure enough, this door cannot be opened by brute force at the moment, and the same goes for the concrete wall next to it.

After thinking about it, Lu An tried to enter the four numbers 9453 on the electronic keyboard because this was the only information she knew now.

"The password is correct, the upper door is unlocked."

“Click… Click!”

The sound of a mechanical device operating came from the door lock. Lu An put his hand on the door handle, but still couldn't open it.

"It seems I still need to find a key, but where is the key?"

After leaving the door of the tunnel fork, Lu An checked his mission. There was no change in the progress, but the information on the map had changed.

The original large area disappeared, and the exact location of the door appeared. Where the rats were lurking, there was a moving red light spot, flashing like a pulse.

"It seems to be important information."

Following the markings on the map, Lu An moved forward cautiously, quietly killing some rats and some unvigilant monsters, and came to the location of the light spot.

Hiding behind an overturned bus, Lu An stuck his head out and quietly observed the situation in front. What he saw was not the special monster he had expected, but several people wearing black woolen coats. The leader among them had a small terminal on his arm. A 3D holographic projection of a standing man was displayed on the terminal. They were having a conversation.

"Have you found a way to contact the cemetery?"

"I got the key, but I don't have the password. Only the department head knows the password."

"Didn't we catch a department head? He didn't tell me?"

"I told you, that guy is a coward. He told us everything before we even started. But his password is no longer valid."

"Ineffective? Why?"

"He said someone replaced him, a new department head took over, and the HR department changed the password."

"What about him?"

"Dealt with it, and now he's one of those rats."

"Try to find the password. As long as we can find a way to enter the Cemetery Company, we can wipe them out from this world, and no one will stop us."

"understood."

"How about the rats?"

"The entrance to the altar is guarded, so nothing will go wrong."

"Be careful, don't screw it up."

"Ah."

The man ended the communication and left with his men.

Lu An, who was secretly observing nearby, found that the weapons, clothes and decorations of these people all had the logo of the rat removal company. Lu An also found that among these people, there were some faces she had seen before. They were the people who should have died at the hands of the rat swarm when she met the employees of the rat removal company before, and now they appeared here again without even a wound on their bodies.

After leaving here, Lu An found a safe place and simply analyzed the situation.

From the conversation between these people, it can be concluded that the rat removal company is looking for a way to enter the "Wangchuan" company, which is the company that manages the cemetery, and they seem to have a deep hostility towards the cemetery and even want to kill them all, and these rats were released by them.

The most important point is that the key is still in their hands, which makes it difficult to deal with.

If they were alone, Lu An could defeat them one by one through assassination, but they have been gathered together. As a stealth and sneak attack professional, Lu An is not good at head-on confrontation. If she wants to successfully get the key, Lu An needs to find a way to make them disperse.

And destroying the altar they were using to release the rats seemed like a good idea.

Although there was no hint on the map, Lu An guessed the approximate location of the altar based on the direction of the rats' movement and their number, and quietly moved towards it.

Deep in the tunnel, next to some overturned vehicle wreckage.

Two employees of a rat extermination company were guarding an altar, which was made of the bones and flesh of the victims who had not had time to escape from the tunnel. Some obscure runes were drawn on the ground around it. A passage appeared on the ground in the middle of the altar, and countless rats crawled out of the passage and crawled into the tunnel.

The employee guarding the left side of the altar seemed to be addicted to alcohol. He walked away two steps, took out a small metal wine bottle from his arms, opened it and took a sip.

"Hey! Don't drink while working! You'll be punished if your boss finds out!"

"Keep your voice down! If you don't say anything and I don't say anything, who would know? Do you want to have a bite too?"

The employee on the right was not very competent either. He looked around and saw that there was indeed no one else there, so he took the jug and took a sip.

"Tsk! Virtue! Aren't you greedy too?"

"Don't make any noise, I have some snacks here, would you like some?"

"Huh? OK!"

The two employees walked a few steps away from the altar, drank some wine, ate some snacks, and started fishing.
