“Little Mo, I’ll treat you to Jade Dynasty!”
“Um...” Zou Mo looked bashful.
Having finally came back, Ruan Ning felt like she had experienced the first big event in her life. Since she wasn’t a sensitive or fragile person, she felt better on the next day. As if she had just woken from a nightmare, she felt alright except that she was a bit weaker than usual and she had minor anxiety attacks occasionally.
Everything seemed peaceful and life returned to normal now.
“Sir, get me a bowl of instant noodles with a sausage.”
Ruan Ning yawned while speaking; she felt a bit lazy and listless.
“I told you that it will be fine. You look good,” Mr. Fang said casually while getting himself a bowl of instant noodles as well.
“How can you say that?! I had nightmares all night! All damn night!” Instantly, she jumped up fiercely, looking more animated and energetic than her former lazy self.
“Ugh?” Suddenly, she pointed at the small black blackboard and asked, “New game: Grand Theft Auto 5. What’s that?”
She found that the shop had released a new game!
The price of the game was super expensive: 45 crystals for the activation of the offline mode, and 10 crystals per week for playing the online mode. It was almost as expensive as Diablo 2.
The players of this shop only heard about Diablo from the players of Dajin.
In other words, this was the second formal game in the Half City Shop beside the small games in Qzone.
“We have a new game today?!” Ruan Ning’s eyes lit up, and she looked energetic.
After playing the Legend of Mir 2 for a long time, the main group of players was now fixed, and they were members of the big guilds. Since Ruan Ning neither fought for the title of the Master of Sand City nor competed for No. 1 Place in that world, she didn’t have to spend all day on that game. All she needed to do was keep her items and strength above the average level.
This was why some players had time to play the King of Fighters and other stuff in Mr. Fang’s Qzone.
“A new game?” Liu Ningyun walked into the shop. She hadn’t been a fan of the Legend of Mir 2, but ever since her master bought the Magic Shield Spell Skill Book, she had to take her master to level up every day. Her master was like a big baby who knew nothing of the game, and she had to be gentle and respectful toward her master while showing her how to play the game. After all, she was the Xichi Spiritual Master’s disciple.
Her gaming experience was almost negative.
Therefore, getting a new game in the shop was very beneficial to her.
“Grand Theft Auto 5?” Her beautiful eyes looked at the name, and then her face fell. “Sir, do you want us to steal stuff?”
Mr. Fang said with a serious face, “If you want to steal, no one is stopping you.”
“Pooh! It’s you who want to steal stuff!”
“Yun’er!” At this moment, the Xichi Spiritual Master’s gentle voice came from behind her. “Can you take me to level up for a bit?”
Liu Ningyun shivered after hearing that, as if she had been chilled by a gust of autumn wind. “Master, should we try the new game first?”
“Okay... it’s quite boring to level up and hunt for treasures every day.” The Xichi Spiritual Master said with a nod, “We can take a break by trying the new game, but this Grand Theft Auto 5...”
She gazed at Fang Qi with her cold eyes. She understood what ‘grand theft’ meant, but with the word ‘auto’ added, it sounded quite suspicious.
“Sir, we can learn all kinds of spiritual spells in the Legend of Mir 2, but in this game, do we learn how to become a thief?!” She snorted and said, “If so, I will never try it.”
“Do you think my shop would release such a boring game?” Mr. Fang said solemnly, “It is a game for you to experience life.”
“Experience... life?”
The people around him all looked confused.
In Grand Theft Auto 5, the characters that people could play were usually not thieves.
“Then I’ll try it first.” Ruan Ning was the first one who offered to try the game. After all, all the products in Mr. Fang’s shop, from the Legend of Mir 2 to the movies and TV Series to the little games, were all trustworthy and excellent.
Since this game was very expensive, she guessed it must have things that were worthy of her time and investment.
People such as Ruan Ning and the Xichi Spiritual Master were the first group of players who paid to try the game. After all, it was worthwhile to spend crystals on the new stuff in the shop.
Soon, they activated the game. When the game began, blurry pictures appeared on the screen. Colorful dream-like neon lights blinked, and loud honking of cars, police sirens, and faint gunshots could be heard.
While the main characters in many other games were heroes, this game was the opposite and had more realistic characters.
The location was North Yankton, and the time was nine years ago.
The players were now indifferent to the strangeness of the name of this place after watching Harry Potter, which was also a story set in the modern world where people spoke the same strange language.
For them, this was like another civilization in another corner of the world, or it could be the outer world as recorded in the ancient books. Who knows?
Perhaps it was an imaginary world, and it was possible that such a world had never existed.
After all, it was a world in virtual reality.
Many people stood behind them to watch the game. Some people had bowls of instant noodles in their hands, such as Mo Tianxing, and some were leisurely sipping on bottles of Coke with straws, such as Ning Bi. Even Black Demon, who was eating breakfast, also came up to watch.
Gunfire lit up the darkness, and then a scene appeared on the screen. “Okay! Do what we say, and no one will be hurt.”
Before them was a guy who was wearing a black ski mask and holding a submachine gun. If the players of Jiuhua City were here, they would find this outfit was quite similar to that of the terrorists in Counter Strike.
However, the players of Half City were confused about the situation. Right now, they were controlling the robbers.
The bank robbery was ongoing.
Baffled, the Xichi Spiritual Master looked at the submachine gun in her hands. “What’s this thing for?”
At this moment, the game gave them a prompt, urging them to aim the gun at the hostages to force them to leave the bank.
She looked at the trigger. “It seems like I must press this?”
Dadadadada...
“Ahh... Ouch!” Screams sounded.
The hostages died.
She widened her eyes in confusion.
Obviously, robbery was a technical job.
