I have a hero simulator

"Who would believe those books?"

Lucy said with a pout.

"But I think it's true because I've seen pictures of the actual moon landing. Oh, sorry, I might have ruined your beautiful dream. I really didn't mean to."

- Strange.

"Ha, you must think this is funny, right?"

Lucy laughed at herself. She had never been to school and had never seen the moon.

All she understood about the moon was the words on the poster "Your new life awaits you" and the Mewtwo videotape.

In Lucy's imagination, the moon can bounce around and you can drive a lunar rover to race on it.

But is this really the case?

Going to the moon is just Lucy's disguise.

It was her fear of Arasaka that gave rise to her desire for freedom to escape from the hell under Arasaka's control. She had no idea about the moon, nor had she thought about how to go to the moon, let alone how to settle on the moon and how to live there.

"Going to the moon" is Lucy's fantasy, her unattainable dream. It is precisely because this dream is out of reach that it supports her to continue living in the hell of Night City.

From the very beginning, Lucy was not an "urban queen with lofty ideals, aloofness, independence, and self-confidence", but a poor person who disguised herself with dreams and lived in fear of Arasaka and helplessness about the future.

So, even though she always uses sharp words to complain and refute Shen Yuan when talking to him, Lucy is actually "jealous" of Shen Yuan.

She was jealous of Shen Yuan's strong heart, the courage to confront Arasaka, ignoring their threats, and even openly provoking them.

But at the same time, she was also envious, and could even be said to admire Shen Yuan.

"It would be great if I were a 'cyber maniac' like you!"

Lucy sighed from the bottom of her heart and murmured to herself.

"I'm not crazy, I'm a normal person!"

"That's what most people with mental illness say..."

Lucy said, driving her motorcycle towards the downstairs of an apartment building, and then came to a messy-looking building: "Okay, we're here. Come with me inside."

"Is this where you live? It looks worse than the prison I'm in."

"Shut up, asshole."

Although she was cursing, Lucy's eyebrows curved into crescents, and her eyes flashed with inexplicable hope.

At the same time, she became nervous inside.

I just hope everything goes well from now on. As she said that, Lu Xi pulled Shen Yuan into the apartment building.

"Come in, and I'll show you how much better this is than your shabby prison!"

Suddenly, blue lights came into view.

Surrounding virtual projections, jade-white furniture, emerald green crushed ice bath, and long mechanical massage chairs.

A square black coffee table is surrounded by a set of white sofas without armchairs.

It can be seen that the decoration is very thoughtful, half of it is cyber elements and half of it is simple elements.

Although life is hard, Lucy still loves life very much. She looks very clean and has a faint fragrance that is refreshing.

"very beautiful."

Shen Yuan looked around the room and then looked at Lucy.

"Sit wherever you like."

Lucy finished speaking, went to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of orange wine, and handed them over. Then she looked at the background poster of the moon and said, "I just want to go to the moon, what's wrong with that? Don't you yearn for the stars in the universe?"

"What's so good about that lousy planet... Well, I mean, the moon reminds us that reality is often not what it seems at first glance. In a world full of superficial illusions, following the moon's intuition is often the best option."

Seeing Lucy's glaring eyes, Shen Yuan immediately changed his answer to one with high emotional intelligence.

"Puchi...it seems you know a lot~"

Lucy blinked in surprise, as if she had discovered something interesting.

"I understand perfectly! How about I tell you the story of me being the nightmare of the universe, the great devil of the universe devouring three thousand worlds... Back in 097, even the gods didn't dare to be my enemy, and the Moon God would hide when he saw me..."

Shen Yuan vividly embellished his deeds in "The Cautious Hero" and told them again.

There is also the fate of the hero and the devil, the mastermind behind the scenes, the conspiracy of the Supreme God, and so on.

Lucy felt a sense of resonance after hearing this, and also felt the helplessness of the brave man and the demon king. For the two great gods behind them, they killed each other like tools being used, and the people in that world were even more miserable.

Of course, Lucy only regarded these things as stories imagined by Shen Yuan and didn't believe they really existed at all.

In addition, Lucy's level of knowledge is much lower than Shen Yuan imagined. She is like a baby who is curious about everything. No matter what Shen Yuan says, Lucy has a strong interest, especially those related to the moon, such as the palace on the moon, Chang'e, the moon goddess, etc.

As she spoke, Lucy became more and more interested. She took out two Mewtwo VR headsets, lay on the bed with Shen Yuan, and entered virtual stealth.

"Come, I'll show you the real moon."

"Okay... I'm also curious about what Mewtwo's virtual experience is like."

"What? This isn't your first time experiencing Mewtwo! Is this true? In 2076, there are still people who haven't played Mewtwo. Haha, it seems you don't know everything!"

Lucy seemed very excited, having finally discovered something that Shen Yuan didn't know.

So the two of them sneaked into the surface of the moon in the virtual super dream image world.

Feeling the changes in the simulated gravity, Shen Yuan immediately determined that this was not the moon. The real moon's gravity was different. The Mewtwo world only changed the fixed values to simulate jumping on the moon. Of course, it would be better not to let Lucy know about this.

It would be such a bummer to say it out loud.

However, Shen Yuan had indeed been to a place similar to the moon. At that time, he was fighting against the Dragon God Qiu Lie from the world of "Spider Girl" on the moon of another world. The power of the Desert Death God was so strong that the gravity of the moon could not affect him at all.

The feeling in 'Mewtwo' is actually just a picture simulated through the stimulation of the neural network.

"How is it? It's beautiful, right?"

Lucy lifted her hair and looked at the planet with only black and white colors in the endless darkness.

"It's beautiful, but the real planet is even more beautiful."

"Yeah, but a trip to the moon costs 50 euros... I need to work harder to save up that much money."

"Will do."

Shen Yuan said this, and then in his senses, a human thermal imaging breath appeared outside Lucy's house.

"Lucy, are your friends here?"

"Huh? Friend?"

Lucy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

But at this moment, Lucy's door was opened, and the mercenary leader Mann rushed in with a group of people, pointing their guns at Shen Yuan and Lucy who were lying on the bed.

However, as they approached, one of them accidentally stepped on the invisible lotus trap, triggering it instantly. The crisp sound of it snapping caught the attention of the others.

Chapter 358: Is this cyberpunk?

"Lucy, is your friend here?"

"My friend...?"

In Mewtwo on the moon, Lucy was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted.

Just then, the sound of some trap being triggered was heard from inside the house.

"If I were you, I wouldn't lift my foot. That thing would blow you up into the sky in an instant!"

Shen Yuan took off Mewtwo's VR glasses and looked at the four uninvited guests in the room.

Tsk, a honey trap, huh?

Shen Yuan saw several black guns pointed at him. A tall, conspicuous man with brown skin stood in the room like a small mountain. However, under his feet was a lotus device that looked like a high-explosive mine, and the alarm was beeping.

"Damn, what is this? A landmine!"

Mann looked at the thing under his feet with cold sweat on his forehead, holding a slightly small shotgun in his hand, and was at a loss.

"Lucy, this guy actually planted a mine in your house!"

The man with a pointed face and spiky hair who exclaimed was wearing goggles, had a pair of slender silver hands, a body like a bamboo pole, and skin that was abnormally pale.

When he saw Mann step into the trap, he immediately took off his glasses and stared wide-eyed.

"Hey, quickly disarm the mines!"

The third one is a cold-blooded blonde woman wearing a red windbreaker and a rose-red mask.

He stared at Shen Yuan with a fierce look in his eyes, then raised his gun.

"So, who are you? Lucy's accomplices?"

As Shen Yuan spoke, he looked at Lucy, who was clasping her fingers together and looking troubled.

"Damn it, you're the assassin from Arasaka, right? And you want to get our Lucy for free! I didn't expect you to lay mines in a place like this, how cruel! Before you die, I'll turn you into a hornet's nest!"

The fourth one is a petite figure.

She has green twintails.

A girl with orange-red eye whites and beige ring-shaped pupils, and a face that suddenly puffed up.

At first glance, she seems to have a hot temper, but her image is exactly the same as [Zuan Fireworks·Zeli], and she is also a shooter, often bringing joy and happiness to those around her.

She looks like a loli on the outside, but she is like a Zaun person on the inside, and she often speaks sweetly.

The turbulent and unpredictable energy also reflects her inner emotions, and the flashing gunfire reflects her light-hearted attitude towards life.

"Wait, wait, Rebecca! Maybe there's some misunderstanding!"

But Lucy wasn't finished yet.

The tall and strong blonde woman at the side held Rebecca's head with one hand and spoke.

"Okay, Rebecca, you don't want Mann to be blown to pieces, do you? Also, let's hear what Lucy has to say first~"

The woman said this and looked at the "Fate Master" who remained elegant and silent.

They all became nervous at Jin's (Shen Yuan) next move.

He picked up the pistol in his hand, but quickly put it back, then glanced at Mann's feet. He didn't know what he did, but with a snap of his fingers, the lotus mine that was about to explode gradually stopped flashing dangerous light and fell into stillness.

"The crisis is over."

Shen Yuan resolved all the awkwardness in an instant.

The tension in the air eased a lot.

But the next moment, a tall man with conspicuous brown skin quickly approached and swung his huge fist towards Shen Yuan, as if trying to knock him unconscious.

However, he was responded with faster, more accurate and more brutal moves.

"Strong hands crack skulls! Subdue the enemy!"

With a loud bang, the tall man screamed and crashed into the furniture beside him. Then Shen Yuan knocked him out with two punches, and he fell heavily to the ground.

The air suddenly became dead silent.

Everyone was planning to pick up their guns to confront the enemy, but a tiny electromagnetic pulse erupted, paralyzing everyone present and even all electronic equipment. Those with implants instantly half-knelt on the ground, wailing.

"Ah! My head hurts so much!"

"Vision... I can't see anything! Damn it, it's an EMP attack!"

Because Shen Yuan did not have an implant, the pulse had no effect on him at all.

So after a few people lost their resistance, he took out a strong silk thread and tied them to the edge of the sofa. When he waited for everyone to return to normal, he was unable to move at all. He watched a man with his upper body shrouded in shadows and his back to the window staring at them.

"Damn! This guy is so strong!"

"Lucy, what kind of bastard did you mess with?"

"That mask...Captain! I know him, he's that cyber lunatic!!"

"enough!"

Lucy, who was sitting beside them, sighed helplessly after seeing this scene, and then looked at Shen Yuan pleadingly: "Sorry, they have no ill intentions, please don't hurt them!"

"no offence?"
