As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Who the hell would use this reason for taking leave... and isn’t your tone a bit aggressive...
"Are you... are you crazy?"
The team leader blocking Brother Ni was dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
"I’ll screw you over, believe it or not, if you don’t get out of here, I’ll twist your head off."
Brother Ni instinctively reached for the back of his waist, but didn’t find his axe, and could only glare angrily at the team leader.
The team leader could only feel a murderous intent emanating from this guy’s eyes, frightening him so much that his blood flowed backward to the top of his head, almost causing his heart to stop.
Last month, he was still a clueless idiot, a nerd who only cared about games all day, suddenly transformed, and the deathly cold gaze made his heart shiver, his legs tremble.
This guy is definitely a killer.... This content belongs to n0velfire.net
And probably not just one person killed...
Brother Ni stretched out his hand and pushed the team leader lightly on the chest, causing the team leader, whose legs had turned soft, to stumble and fall into a sitting position.
"Your dad is resigning, got it?"
Then he strode toward the elevator door.
He’s not actually crazy, giving up work for the sake of playing games, mainly there’s a benefactor offering to set up a game development studio.
Although the game is still in closed beta, unable to stream live, only able to take photos, anyone can see the game’s huge potential.
It’s just that there’s no official gold trading platform, fewer players, and the game just started, everyone is in an exploratory stage, but later when there’s spare cash, private gold trade will be inevitable, and the exchange rate won’t be low, given their current T1 level strength, it’s certainly better than working day in and day out.
It’s just that Brother Ni recalled his own actions just now, it was somewhat too skillful, like muscle memory had developed.
If there really was an axe behind him, he might have truly split the guy’s skull, will need to restrain himself in the future.
Though if the cyber attributes could carry over, that would be a goldmine.
Putting on his helmet, with the familiar red loading screen flying by, Brother Ni leapt off the bed.
He’s marveled more than once at how realistic this world is, even the lazy feeling when just waking up is vividly simulated.
Uncovering the quilt, dressing in combat gear, hanging two single-handed axes and a pistol, randomly washing his face in front of the mirror, grabbed his hair, and out the door!
The bar hall was bustling, players, mercenaries, and even some residents living nearby gradually grew fond of this lively but not chaotic, clean place, and the drinks here were smoother than elsewhere.
Of course, information exchange was inevitable.
The expert sitting in the corner waved as he saw Brother Ni enter.
"I’ve got the intel you wanted."
Brother Ni’s eyes widened, this guy was just a newbie from the last version update, yet moved like he had an all-seeing eye, blended everywhere, even gained some fame in Haywood and with the Sixth Street Gang.
Especially for intelligence, he was like a middleman, no matter where he went, he could understand the place in a day or two.
He’s just low-leveled due to fewer battles, but has strong combat capability.
Brother Ni grabbed the expert up to the second floor, spent 200 to open a private room.
"Did you find the Voodoo Gang’s hideout?"
"Haven’t verified yet." The expert took off his visor cap, fanning himself "But it should be very close, there’s a significant probability it’s the Voodoo Gang’s hideout."
Brother Ni couldn’t wait to ask "Where?"
He didn’t want this heavyweight quest to be busted by some newbie entering and causing mission failure.
The expert threw a pile of posters onto the table that had been tucked under his arm, they were so wrinkled they’d almost formed a ball.
Brother Ni picked up a sheet and inspected it.
"This is... intercontinental maglev train... but what’s it got to do with the Voodoo Gang."
"A project from the 70s, expected to finish in 15 years, Ye Corporation’s project, sought to connect transportation from Night City to Chicago."
Brother Ni had heard of this city name, it’s quite a famous city in the United States, the third biggest, a financial hub.
"But wasn’t it turned into a ghost town by Huang Ban with biological weapons during the Fourth Corporate War?"
Chicago already in 2011 lost 200,000 people due to a virus leak at underground biological labs, then due to the United States collapsing, people fled or died, it was barely revitalized thanks to Storm Technology and Wandering Tribe’s efforts, then the Fourth Corporate War Huang Ban nearly ended it.
All investments went down the drain, even after decades of the Red Era, few companies were willing to touch this land, only the Wandering Tribe tried to unearth pre-collapse era heritage there.
Players can now still spot the military tech maglev train construction site on Evil Land, though decayed for years.
But with the outbreak of the Unified War, its construction completely halted, after all, Chicago is now part of New America, finishing this train line would be a bane to Night City, so it’s been stalled for a long time.
"That’s not the point, the point is this project’s abandoned, and the maglev train start-point is underground in Taiping Continent, the departure station isn’t far from where they eavesdrop."
Even this world’s ultimate wasteland, its corporation and government execution far exceeds the real United States and EU’s manyfold.
