indescribable cyberpunk.

Chapter 301 The winner of life
His eyes swept over the surrounding environment, and there were rows of houses with exotic styles, and people in plain clothes came and went.

Wearing a hooded outfit, he moved with the actions of the people around him. The Hidden Sword was hidden under the robe, and the cold touch kept Zhu Jue's brain awake all the time.

The gray mist on the skill icon in the lower left corner is fading away.

The target is the man standing in front of the fruit stand. When he is buying fruit, he always looks around. Occasionally he raises his hand and can see the metal reflection in his cuff through the sunlight.

Humph.

What a novice assassin, it seems that it is necessary for me, a master assassin, to teach him what is a real Creed Assassin.

The distance keeps getting closer.

The palm is raised slightly forward, the Hidden Sword is about to be unsheathed, the sword is smeared with the highly poisonous potion he bought last night, blood must seal the throat!

Bass~
There was a red spot of light overflowing from the chest, but when he looked down, he could only see the appearance of a sword tip being pulled away. When he turned his head sharply, he could only see a man wrapped in a gray robe exactly like the passers-by around him was retreating.

"What a novice assassin, you dare to wear a pure white suit to assassinate, is it because you are worried that others will not find you?"

As a sneering word came to his ears, the picture in front of him instantly fell into darkness.

There is only one death reminder left: You were backstabbed by "Ezio's Mentor", and the damage is being calculated. One hit will kill you!

"Ugh!!!"

Zhu Jue, who was wearing VR glasses, rolled frantically on the floor of the room, and the wind chimes beside him flipped along with him.

The number one master assassin in Heywood District is also concentrating on training as an apprentice today.

"Assassin's Creed: Citywide Assassination"

An online VR game released the year before last, all players can set their own identities after logging in, and then choose what kind of identity they will live in the city.

The content of the game is very simple. Players must look for other players in the city who also pretend to be ordinary people through various channels while playing the role of a normal resident, and complete the assassination before they notice.

"Mr. Ivanka, please don't forget the agreement with Mr. Gentleman."

Zhu Jue took off the VR glasses a little annoyed by the voice prompt from the memo, got up and walked to the sink.

The place agreed upon by the two parties was a private club in Westbrook District.

"Have you ever dreamed?"

The gentleman in the same attire as the first time I saw it was leaning against the desk, beside the candlestick made of gold, the bright yellow flame against the white candle, not a holographic projection, but a real object.

Similar candlesticks are placed all over the room, barely illuminating this quaint study.

"Do you think there is any normal person who hasn't had a dream. Is there no electricity in this place you chose?"

Zhu Jue looked at the layout of the room in front of him, it didn't look like the high-end place he saw outside when he came here.

The wooden bookshelves placed around the wall, the strange thing is that there is not even a book on it, the position of the gentleman's desk is in the middle of these bookshelves, the floor under his feet is even paved with bricks, and there are still some books in the gaps. Floating ash.

It's hard to imagine that Zhu Jue was passing through the sky of Dawn City in an airship 5 minutes ago, and suddenly arrived in such an ancient room 5 minutes later.

The sudden change in the environment made him feel inexplicably confused.

If it weren't for the mobile phone still receiving the signal normally, Zhu Jue would probably ask what year and month it is now.

"I bought this place and remodeled this room as a gathering and meeting place for the team. When I first arranged it, I really asked the designers to decorate it according to the state of the European Middle Ages, so even the most basic lighting is not necessary. No, the reason is to adapt to certain environments in advance, I will let the group members gather here before each trip, on the one hand, to discuss travel plans, and on the other hand, to change their mentality."

The gentleman's gaze rested on Feng Ling for a while, and then he continued,

"Let's go back to the topic just now, have you ever thought about making your dreams come true?"

"Hey, if you called me here to talk about your dreams, I advise you not to waste that time. We are all adults, so we can't speak directly?"

Hearing the meaning of the gentleman's words, Zhu Jue frowned and said something indifferent.

For the guy beside him, Zhu Jue has never felt any respect or fear. If he hadn't known some special information in the corridor outside 1103, he would have been completely cold now.

The gentleman can make Zhu Jue vaguely aware of a threat, but it is not as good as the middle-aged man he met in the black market before.

"You are indeed a very interesting person. It's been a long time since anyone talked to me like that, so I'll just say it bluntly. Have you played the game I gave you two days ago?"

The candle beside him trembled for a moment, and the gentleman's eyes were fixed and he kept smiling.

"The game is not bad, but why did you give me that game?"

The game Zhu Jue was talking about was of course "Assassin's Creed: City Assassination". It was not bought online, but a gentleman sent the game and the matching game equipment to the door by courier. I was stunned for a while, and checked again and again that there was no problem before I opened it and played for two days.

"Some of the settings of this game are very similar to what we will experience next, so I will treat it as a novice teaching for you. When I recruited newcomers before, I would prepare a copy for them."

"Tomorrow night, we will go to the different space you mentioned before. We call it the dreamland here. The world environment is somewhat similar to the environment in the game. It is quite similar to the living conditions of the European Middle Ages. You can think of yourself It’s about creating new characters in it.”

"We must find a way to hide our identities, and we must not let anyone know except our teammates, because there are many enemies, not only limited to people with the same identity as us, but also some natives in the dreamland, they are keen to kill Let's get something, after all, outsiders are not always easy to accept."

"Dream merchant, this is a main job, and it is also the unified identity of us people, but with different thoughts and actions, most of them will take the initiative to 'change jobs'. I formed a traveler team with the purpose of Looking for treasures in dreams, and those who specifically trouble us are dream eaters, including dream merchants and some existences with more special identities. The situation in this aspect is a bit complicated, and it is difficult to explain it in a short time. You just need to know that there is basically no possibility of negotiation or cooperation between dream eaters and travelers, so don't be deceived by some dream eaters. That's all for now, I think it should be simple enough."

These contents are obviously abbreviated versions, and the gentleman did not intend to finish the information of the dreamland world in one breath, because the information he has so far has only been to two places, and he really needs to analyze something. Not very realistic.

But even so, the "captain" of the team can still be called responsible. In order to let Zhu Jue, a newcomer, understand earlier, he actually found a game as an example.

Listening to his introduction, Zhu Jue on the side subconsciously recalled the scene he had seen in Fangdoushan's different space.

You must know that Zhu Jue always thought that the different space was just a wasteland with monsters, but he didn’t expect that there were still people living in it. Thinking about it, the weird and disgusting hissing sound that I heard in my ear at that time was not a wasteland. wind?

"What are you thinking?"

Zhu Jue's contemplation caught the gentleman's attention.

"What can I get out of your so-called travel?"

In fact, Zhu Jue didn't really care about the name of this different space or the strange enemies in it. He came to participate in this matter from the beginning to the end just to obtain those treasures that can strengthen his spiritual power.

What he can't wait to know is how to get them from this different space.

"This is a good question. I think you should have experienced its effectiveness in the previous novice gift pack. It can unearth the special power of human beings. Some people call it spiritual power, while others suggest soul power or mind power, etc. The title, but there is no doubt that it is the power that truly belongs to the human self, not the ability injection, mechanical transformation, these enhancements achieved by external technology or other technologies. Of course, I am not saying that the latter is not strong, just that It’s just stating a relative concept.”

The gentleman seemed to have been prepared for Zhu Jue's question. He turned his body slightly and wiped the candle flame at the top of the candle with his finger. In the next second, a flame was directed to his finger, and then the flame seemed to be drawn by an invisible animal. The general twisting variation of palm stretching,
"This ability is extremely rare in our world, and only a small number of people have access to it, but in the dream world, it is a very common thing. Those who lived in the ancient world abandoned technology and embraced mystery. What we people have to do is to use the power of technology to better embrace the mystery."

"The dreamland world is very special. Some ancient books that have been handed down to this day believe that it is a world composed of human dreams, but it has its own development track. In that world, there are many special items, and their acquisition methods are various. For example, the liquor I gave you before came from a rodent monster in a certain forest, and its effect is to enhance the soul or mental power, and what most people go to that world to pursue is nothing more than the same thing, to liberate the soul!"

Perhaps in order to arouse Zhu Jue's interest, the gentleman even raised his tone on purpose when he mentioned this matter.

"Liberating the soul sounds interesting."

He replied with a strange expression, Zhu Jue wanted to look happy, but he just couldn't get excited.

God knows how weird Zhu Jue was when he found out that the ultimate goal of these people was something he had accomplished a week ago.

No wonder the great race said that this is an important skill comparable to the crystal technology of the elders before helping him liberate his soul.

Is this what it feels like to be a winner in life?
