Monster Hunter Gathering

Nie Chiwu could understand that, after all, the treatment was something that people feared being compared to...

About ten minutes later, several wine glasses were placed in front of Xin Meir. Xin Meir drank and cried bitterly, and was completely immersed in the atmosphere of the rally.

"Even though I understand that Fulilian will be slow to understand these things, I still envy others!"

“I’m so envious!!!”

"It's okay, it's okay. That's just how feelings are..."

The conversation that was originally about flattering someone had inexplicably turned into a drinking party where Nie Chiwu and He Zhen comforted a tearful Xin Meier...

Chapter 190 Let’s play 2077 together!

"It's okay, it's okay. Look, isn't Fulilian starting to understand you now? She even understands the meaning of the flower ring you gave her..."

In the cafeteria, Nie Chiwu and Xin Meir were arm in arm, comforting Xin Meir who was crying bitterly because of envy and jealousy.

However, this scene completely confused the hunters who came to the dining hall later. However, they still recognized the younger Xin Meier...

Next, the hunters all came together to comfort Xinmei, whose defense was broken by Laos's elf teammates.

In the end, Nie Chiwu came up with an idea and returned to his own world...

When Nie Chiwu came back, he had a stack of printed A4 papers in one hand and a Q-version pillow of Fulilian in the other.

"Here! The Fulilian pillow! I just drove out to buy it! Go back to your room and have a sleep!" After General Nie Chiwu stuffed all the things in his hand to Xin Meir, he also made the drunk Xin Meir stand up in a daze.

Then, Nie Chiwu placed the Fulilian fan art he had just printed on the ground one by one, and asked Xin Meier to pick them up one by one. Finally, he followed Nie Chiwu to the hunter's first-class cabin...

"Wow! Perfect! As expected of me!" Nie Chiwu wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with a proud look on his face.

"I didn't expect that old man could become so young..." Emiya Shirou looked at the cat lady's meal in front of him: "So cooking can do this... It seems I still have a lot to learn..."

"Oh oh! Even though I've finished the things in the game, after coming here to take a look, I still think this place is pretty impressive!" Yang Le looked at this stronghold full of rugged style excitedly: "Sure enough, I wasn't dreaming before!"

"Where's JOJO?" Naofumi Iwatani looked at the training ground in a somewhat strange manner: "Isn't he always training at the training ground? How come he suddenly disappeared..."

"JOJO went to help David." Nie Chiwu scratched his chin. "I just wanted to talk about the world of cyberpunk. New hunters, come and listen. You can also learn about the commission."

"Besides... the cyberpunk world is actually very troublesome." Nie Chiwu scratched his head in annoyance. "It's not the kind of trouble that affects your abilities, it's the kind that... affects your psychology!"

"That world doesn't match our style!" Nie Chiwu shouted. "It's seriously incompatible! I don't even want to let some of the people here go!"

"Why?" Tanjiro was a little confused. "Captain, who are you saying can't go?"

"You, Shirou, Yang Le...you'll learn bad things if you go there!" Nie Chiwu said, clenching his fist. "The cyberpunk world is so chaotic! And who knows how long the exploration mission will take. In the process, you'll definitely come into contact with those things...it will leave a psychological trauma!"

"If it's just Kazuma, it's fine, but how can it affect people like you who have a clear conscience?"

“Hey!! Are you some doting old man!!!” Kazuma complained loudly: “And what do you mean by ‘it doesn’t matter Kazuma’? Kazuma-san is hurt!!! I’ll cry for you to see!!!”

"Ah... this is indeed a trouble..." Naofumi Iwatani looked at Shirou and Haru.

Tanjiro is okay. After spending so much time together, Naofumi Iwatani knows that Tanjiro is a strong-willed and tenacious man. Maybe he will be troubled for a while because of the things in Night City, but Tanjiro will definitely be able to figure it out in the end.

The other hunters had more or less experienced that kind of all-out battle, but the problem was - Yang Le and Shirou.

Although it can be seen that both of them have great potential, they actually came here suddenly from their daily lives.

"So I have an idea... let's do something challenging."

Nie Chiwu grinned widely, revealing a brilliant smile to the hunters before him. "Since Night City is such a mess, let's do something completely opposite to Night City!"

"Huh?" Iwaya Naofumi looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"Let's do good things together in Night City!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs-up. "Why should we hunters do things according to Night City's style?"

"I can do whatever I want! Open world, open solution!" Nie Chiwu turned up his nose. "I'm not going to follow the rules of Night City."

"Those endings in 2077 were frustrating enough for me... Now that I've actually arrived in Night City, am I still subject to its rules?" Nie Chiwu clenched his fist. "Although hunters' duty is to maintain ecological balance, they're not heartless creatures!"

"Yoraku, Shirou."

Nie Chiwu said to the two new hunters, "The life ahead may be completely different from your past experiences, but it is ultimately the path you can choose."

"There's no immediate crisis regarding Yangle's future, but it's different for you, Shirou."

Nie Chiwu looked at Emiya Shirou and said, "If you want to protect your family... you would do it even without me telling you, right?"

"...Yeah." Emiya Shirou clenched his fists.

Although no one knows what will happen in the future, from Nie Chiwu's few words, Shirou Emiya knows what huge crisis Illya may face in the future.

As an older brother, there is no way he would witness such a thing.

"I will become stronger!" Emiya Shirou said with a firm expression.

"Very good!" Nie Chiwu smiled brightly. "I asked Xin Meier to teach us how to fight on a daily basis. Besides, there's also a [Fighting Skills Tournament] in the gathering now! It's really a great helper for training!"

"Also! After you challenge the corresponding monster commissions in the fighting competition, you will be given corresponding [Coins]!"

Nie Chiwu explained the new features of the gathering to the hunters: "These coins can be used to craft weapons and armor, and can also be used to exchange for special items with Felynx..."

"If you want actual combat training, go challenge the fighting competition!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs up: "I believe everyone can become a qualified hunter!"

"That……"

Just after Nie Chiwu finished speaking, Kazuma's eyes fixed, "Mr. Kazuma, there is something that concerns you very much."

"What's that [2077] you just mentioned that has multiple endings?"

Kazuma's words made all the hunters present look at Nie Chiwu.

"Oh?" Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows and smiled mysteriously: "It seems that you really need my advice!"

"Craftsmen!" Nie Chiwu clapped his hands, "It's time to need you!"

"It's been prepared for a long time, meow!" The moment Nie Chiwu finished speaking, a group of cats had already placed several computers in the cafeteria: "These are all made by the craftsmen team, meow!"

"Why is there a computer here?" Yang Le looked confused. "And it's in the same style as the one in the base?! Could it really be made by the Felyne people themselves? Is such a thing even possible?!"

But Kazuma patted Yangle's shoulder with an expression that showed he had seen through everything.

"Don't be surprised. After all, there's only one thing you need to believe in at a gathering. Come and learn from me."

"The Felynes can do anything!"

Chapter 191 Good Brother Jack

“So why are we sitting here playing a single-player game together?” Kazuma complained. “No wonder there are so many different endings! So it’s a single-player game? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

"Stop talking nonsense! Cyberpunk is a huge world! There's so much more to the game alone! There are also board games, novels, and other things... I wouldn't have the energy to explain them all!" Nie Chiwu said, and then copied a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 to each computer: "It's playable!"

"I always feel that sitting here and playing single-player games with so many people is really..." Naofumi Iwatani also wanted to complain.

"It's been ages since I used a mouse and keyboard to play games." Yang Le was quite interested. "So, the Night City in this game is the same Night City we're commissioned for next, right?"

"Well, the current time in Night City is 2076, and in this game it's 2077..." Nie Chiwu explained briefly, "I think a few hours will be enough for us to complete the initial missions..."

"Games are truly fun when played together!" Nie Chiwu gave a thumbs-up. "Although this game has a lot of crap optimization and bugs, and I was completely disappointed when I pre-ordered it, it's still a fun game overall."

During Nie Chiwu's brief introduction, the hunters sat together and began to sculpt their own characters' faces.

Tanjiro and Laos, who had never used a computer before, were confused and had difficulty controlling the computer.

As for Naofumi Iwaya and Kazuma, they were using their computers after not having used them for a long time with regret.

After the hunters had almost finished creating their characters and chosen their own origins, they all entered the game.

After entering the game, although the three backgrounds are different, they all intersect in one place. V and Jack became good friends, and engaged in mercenary activities together, becoming famous in Night City.

Jack, who looked quite cheerful, left a deep impression on the hunters.

The subsequent content is about the plan to steal the biochip Relic. When V and Jack entered the Blue Amur Building and got the chip, they accidentally discovered that the head of Arasaka Corporation, Saburo Arasaka, and his son Arasaka Yorinobu had a fierce quarrel. In the end, Yorinobu strangled his father to death in anger.

Afterwards, V and Jack exchanged fire while escaping the building. Jack was seriously injured and the protection device of Relic was severely damaged. V was forced to insert the chip into his own head to save himself, but after escaping from the Blue Sky Building, Jack was seriously injured and unfortunately died. V was also shot in the head by the fat black middleman. Finally, the biochip was activated, and the personality named Johnny Silverhand was awakened in his mind.

“Jack! Jack!!!” Kazuma howled, hugging the computer screen. “My dear brother! You died so tragically!!! You were obviously much more reliable than that guy Nie Chiwu…”

"Oi! What do you mean by more reliable than me?" Nie Chiwu pounced and grabbed Kazuma's neck, wrestling with him: "Cricket Kazuma! Are you planning a rebellion?!"

Although there were some minor incidents in the middle, the hunters also got a brief understanding of some of the situations in Night City in the game, and [pseudo-experienced] some of the customs and practices of Night City.

"Night City...it's such a chaotic place." Laos directly expressed his opinion: "If it weren't for the commission, I really don't want to live in a place like this..."

"After seeing the life in this world, I feel like my own world has become quite better!" Yang Le said, "Fortunately, our world didn't develop like this."

Yang Ledao also felt that he had no compatibility with the Night City in this game.

If it were just a game, it would be fine.

But once you think about the city in this game, it really exists and you can go and see it with your own eyes at any time...even the bad or unacceptable things in the game are real, which really makes people feel unhappy.

"I think I understand what Grand Commander means." Emiya Shirou controlled V on the screen, looking at the chaotic Night City on the screen. "If you stay in contact with this place for a long time, your thoughts will become gloomy."

"There are several possible endings. I won't spoil the details." Nie Chiwu scratched his head. "Anyway, our exploration mission will take some time, and it's not that easy to find all the clues."

"In this process, we can slowly understand the game."

As Nie Chiwu was saying this, he suddenly thought of something: "Hey! I suddenly thought of something!"

"It's 2076 over there, David!" Nie Chiwu hammered his palm. "Jack is still alive and kicking!"

"Then I have to go see my good brother!" Nie Chiwu jumped up from the table. "I know where to find him! He's been dating Misty since 2076! Let's go find him directly at Misty's store!"

"I want to go too!" Tanjiro also stood up: "I want to meet Mr. Jack too."

"And me, and me!" Yang Le pointed at himself and said, "I also want to try and see what it's like to go to Night City! And I want to meet Jack too!"

"Why do you guys act like you're going to a concert to meet a celebrity?" Iwatani Naofumi complained speechlessly, "I'm not going yet. I want to see what's going on later."

"I'm curious too." Emiya Shirou also said: "Johnny Silverhand seems to be difficult to get along with..."

"Hehe, hehehe..."

Just as Nie Chiwu and others were talking about this, Nie Chiwu suddenly noticed that in the corner, He Zhen was staring at the screen with a lewd smile.

"?"

Nie Chiwu quietly walked around behind Kazuma and looked at Kazuma's screen, and then he found that this guy actually...

I traded with sex dolls back and forth on Twisting Street, and used all my previous game money to trade with sex dolls...

As expected of a demon beast Kazuma...

“Ahem!” Kazuma noticed Nie Chiwu and quickly turned off his screen. “Ahem! I want to go to Night City, too. Not for anything else, but just to see what Night City looks like…”

“You guy…” Nie Chiwu looked at Kazuma with some disdain: “You’re so stuffy…”

"Nonsense! I'm obviously excited to see my good brother Jack!" Kazuma argued, "Stop talking! Let's get going!"

Chapter 192 David with a new prosthetic body

"Um----------!!!"

In a small, somewhat hidden clinic in Night City, an operation is currently underway.

At this moment, David is lying on the operating table here, and the prosthetic doctor that David is most familiar with is helping David install the Swanwestin.

Because there was no anesthesia, David could only bite the bit prepared on the operating table hard to endure the pain of replacing the prosthesis.

Because of drinking the recovery medicine before, all the prosthetic parts in David's body were squeezed out by the recovered flesh. Therefore, the operation performed by the doctor on David was not only to install the Swanwestin, but also to reinstall all the basic prosthetic parts such as David's prosthetic eyes.

Er Qiao was biting her fingers at the moment as she watched David on the operating table having his limbs cut off and new prostheses installed by the prosthetics doctor, feeling a little terrified.

Although the sheer gore wasn't the problem, the main issue was the feeling of having healthy limbs cut off and replaced with implants... something that Qiao, a person from the 20th century, simply couldn't understand.

And David didn't even need anesthesia, what a real man! Joseph Joestar looked at David on the operating table with admiration.

"Ha, you're really brave. You actually let me put something as dangerous as Sian Westin into my body."

Doc patted David on the back after the installation was completed, and said, "It's installed. Get up and move around. It should bleed a little later."

"Doc, thank you." David used his arms to prop himself up from the operating table. "Thank you."

"What are you talking about, brat? I want the medicine you squeezed out of your prosthetic body!" Doc cursed, "If you weren't such an impressive brat, no one would know who you are without your prosthetic body."

"That's not why I'm thanking you." David turned to look at Doc. "It's because... nevermind. I can't tell you."

In that terrible future, the cyborg doctor in front of him was one of the few people who remained vigilant until the end.

David originally thought that the relationship between him and the cyborg doctor was simply due to some interests, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who was willing to remember him in the end.
