Don't use yourself as payment for the commission!

"How about I offer this amazing item plus the friendship of a gaming guru as payment? I can carry you through any game and easily rack up points!"

"No, I'm afraid if I team up with you, we'll get reported and get banned along with each other!"

While saying things that made Silver Wolf pout in dissatisfaction, Bai Xun also examined the peculiar blade in his hand.

Of course, the main thing to look at is the information on the panel.

[Oddity: Punk Lord's Greeting]

Introduction: The clashes in cyberspace are always more complex than imagined. Hackers traverse and leap through data space, exchanging blows, and any sign of weakness can lead to a hasty retreat, dragging the battle on indefinitely. In Punklord, the birthplace of EtherEdit, the legendary hacker "Stone Sword" battled his formidable rival for fourteen summers, never truly emerging victorious. Finally, he compiled an Ether key with one-way locking capabilities, transmitting himself to his rival's real-world location, ending this decade-long contest face-to-face.

Effect: The holder can lock onto target accounts that are hostile towards them online and teleport themselves to the target's real-world location via a Punk Lord greeting.

"Fuck, box!"

"Manager, take this! This thing is really interesting!"

When Bai Xun exclaimed in surprise at the amazing effects of the Punk Lord, Mebius, who was sitting on his shoulder, was also attracted by this strange object.

As a scientist, curiosity was an instinct she could not suppress, and a completely unfamiliar high-tech creation undoubtedly excited Möbius.

"how?"

Silver Wolf, hands in his pockets, continued blowing bubble gum.

"Help me steal the Punklord Spirit from the Black Tower Space Station, and it's yours."

To be honest, Bai Xun really wanted the [Punk Lord's Greeting] item. Who wouldn't like such a super-powerful weapon?

Imagine this: when you encounter an idiot online who's taunting you, you just walk through the internet cable and slap him across the face. Who among us understands the exhilarating feeling of that?

The only problem is that this task is quite difficult, but it's not entirely unsolvable.

Just as Bai Xun was lost in thought, the doorbell rang, accompanied by a familiar, energetic shout from outside the door.

"Hey, hey, hey, KFC delivery is here!"

Penguin Logistics, always on the mission!

...........................

I broke through the defense in the Delta 3x3 mission. Is this mission even meant for humans?

Delta, uninstall! Without stinky feet, there's no point in playing!

Chapter 22 Your Delivery Rider is Attacking Your Delivery

"Penguin Logistics, mission accomplished!"

Upon hearing that energetic and familiar voice outside the door, Bai Xun's expression became somewhat subtle.

Why is Ah Neng delivering food?

However, remembering that Exusiai apparently does have a food delivery collaboration skin called Hakusou, he felt relieved and stood up to open the door.

"Fried chicken is here!"

The moment the door opened, what came into Bai Xun's view was that energetic girl who stood out particularly in the twilight.

With her fiery red hair and radiant halo, Exusiai's smile widened even more when she saw the Blood Demon youth who opened the door.

"Bai Xun, it really is you~ Look at our fate."

Exusiai's gaze swept past Bai Xun and landed on the Spring Spirit and Silver Wolf in the living room. She paused for a moment, then, like a good buddy, put her arm around Bai Xun's shoulder, pulled his head close to her mouth, and teased him.

"You've done something really big at home, keeping two mistresses in one place."

"What nonsense are you talking about? They're just guests."

Haku Xun impatiently brushed Exusiai's hand away, then noticed there were no other takeout orders on Exusiai's electric scooter outside the door, and invited her again.

"No more orders? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

"Hehe, then I won't be polite!"

Ah Neng didn't refuse. He locked up the small electric scooter, then cheerfully took the takeout and followed Bai Xun into the living room.

"Hahaha, the fried chicken is here!"

Exusiai, ever the friendly one, sat down on the sofa and greeted the Spring Spirits and the others. However, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the younger Mebius, and she tilted her head in confusion, looking at Hakuhiro.

"Dulin?"

Even a dwarf wouldn't be this small, would he?

"Just think of her as my sorcery puppet; that's how magical Sarkaz sorcery is."

"oh oh!"

Exusiai immediately expressed her understanding. After her gaze lingered on the petite Mébius's chest for a moment, she couldn't help but proudly puff out her chest, which was better than none at all, and a victorious smile appeared on her lips.

This made the petite Mébius grit her teeth in hatred.

What are you suddenly so happy about? Can comparing sizes with a doll really make you this proud?

Bai Xun didn't pay attention to the little interaction between Exusiai and Mebius, and continued to discuss the details of the commission with Silver Wolf.

"According to my intelligence, the Black Tower has imported the data of the Punklord's spirit into the underlying code of the simulated universe. This artifact has now lost its physical form, and the data can only be extracted by entering the depths of the simulated universe. Neither you nor I have the ability to delve into the simulated universe in a short time..."

"Where did you get your intelligence from?"

Silver Wolf's expression showed a hint of surprise, while Bai Xun sat up straight and smiled.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence network. Are you Star Core Hunters going to steal Star Cores from the Black Tower Space Station to awaken it?"

"You knew all that? You peeked at Elio's script?"

Upon hearing Bai Xun directly state his next move, Silver Wolf's opinion of this somewhat inexplicable agency completely changed.

There seems to be something special about this place.

The next second, as if suddenly realizing something, Silver Wolf urgently asked,

"Do you know when I'll be able to get my desired character on my first gacha pull?"

"??? No, is that all you care about?"

Silver Wolf's question almost made Bai Xun lose his composure. "Aren't you a super hacker? Why don't you just hack into the server and secretly change the drop rate for yourself?"

"Tch, what's the point? You're a guy without a player's soul."

Silver Wolf curled his lip in disdain.

"I just don't want to be told that by someone like you, a master of cheating in this field."

After letting out a sigh, Bai Xun continued,

"So it's not realistic to just steal the Punk Lord spirit for you, but I have another idea!"

Bai Xun held up one finger and, under the expectant gaze of Yin Lang, revealed his plan.

"As long as you can leave a string of virtual data in the simulated universe, the Black Tower will definitely think that you have invaded the simulated universe to steal the spirit of Punk Lord."

While she investigates your virtual intrusion, you can remotely hack in and, guided by the Black Tower, successfully enter the depths of the simulated universe to obtain the data of Punk Lord's spirit.

"Hey, you're a fucking genius!"

Silver Wolf's eyes lit up, and he nodded with considerable approval.

"That's exactly what I was thinking! It seems you have the potential to become a gaming legend!"

Nonsense, this was your idea anyway, it's obvious we just happened to be on the same page.

Bai Xun, who was trying to offer something to someone else, muttered to himself.

Silver Wolf continued.

"However, I still have a mission at the Black Tower Space Station and don't have time to infiltrate the Black Tower offices... Let's change the request. Can you help me implant the virtual data into the simulated universe? That's something you can do, right?"

[Triggering the quest [Punk Lord's Spirit]]

[Competition Description: In order to steal the game cartridge she's been longing for from the Black Tower Space Station, Silver Wolf has decided to hire you to implant virtual data into it. Upon completion, you'll gain the friendship of a gaming guru and genius hacker.]

[Compensation: [Greetings from Punk Lord] (provided by the client), 1 chance to win a prize]

[Note: This commission requires cross-world execution. The agency has opened a dimensional portal for the host, and departure is possible at any time.]

Looking at the commission information on the panel, Bai Xun nodded with satisfaction.

"No problem, the Black Tower Space Station, I will definitely destroy it!"

Anyway, he had confirmed that Silver Wolf's timeline was at the very beginning of the main storyline. At that point, Black Tower hadn't even returned to the space station yet, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

While Bai Xun and Yin Lang were discussing the details of the commission, A Quan and A Neng remained silent, only stealing Bai Xun's fried chicken, hamburgers, and soda.

This made Bai Xun's gaze towards Exusiai somewhat strange.

Ah Quan stealing food is one thing, but how could you, a deliveryman, steal food too!

Your delivery driver is attacking your food delivery.jpg

"Cough cough."

Noticing Haku's gaze, Exusiai quickly downed her soda and flashed Haku a bright smile.

"Your new request seems interesting. Do you need any help? Do you need any help?"

If you need help, I will do everything in my power and will never refuse!

"Let me make it clear beforehand, I'm not giving any money."

While politely declining Exusiai's offer, Bai Xun asked the system,

"Can I bring a helper with me to complete this kind of mission that requires crossing worlds?"

[Assessing the difficulty of the commission... The maximum number of assistants allowed for this commission is 1]

Holy crap, that actually works!

When Bai Xun received a positive answer from the system, Exusiai patted Bai Xun on the shoulder with a grin and said,

"Dude, talking about money can hurt our feelings. I mainly feel that going out with you would definitely be a lot of fun."

"Then you've really come to the right person! Come on, let's launch a full-scale attack on the Black Tower Space Station, and I'll treat you to a delicious meal!"

Exusiai: "Yay!"

Black Tower Space Station, launch a full-scale attack!

Chapter 23 Black Tower Space Station, Fierce Attack!

In its near-Earth orbit around the azure planet, the Black Tower space station continues to operate as always, like a pebble pushed onto the surface of an ice lake—it will glide smoothly and silently.

If the glacial lake collapses, this pebble will also fall into the abyss.

This projectile, powerful enough to shatter the ice, has already been launched by the hand of negative entropy, stirring up destructive waves in the calm universe.

Through the transparent hull, an army of antimatter, swarming like locusts, was tearing through the space station's defenses and igniting black negative particle flames that symbolized destruction. Inside the hull, red lights flickered and alarms blared.

Several astronomical units away, a large red spacecraft equipped with a ram is speeding toward the space station.

The right side is inscribed with "Superior in its Noise," while the left side reads "Fastest in the Galaxy."

The bow of the ship even had a pixelated image of Silver Wolf pasted on it, which was really too flashy.

"Wow, this kind of transportation is so cool! I can't even imagine how convenient it would be to drive back to Lungmen to deliver packages."

Exia, with a halo above her head, jumped around inside the spaceship, full of curiosity about everything in this new world.

Meanwhile, Bai Xun was using the spaceship's public network to frantically download study materials to the holographic projector she had obtained from Silver Wolf. Her expression was terrifyingly serious; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was completely absorbed.

"I'm saying, shouldn't you tone it down a bit?"

Silver Wolf, who was piloting the spaceship, brought up the data panel and looked at the dozens of study materials that Bai Xun had downloaded at the same time. His mouth twitched slightly.

"What a joke! Do you understand the pain I felt in a world like Unholy Terra, where technology and aesthetics were so backward? Although most of the girls were high-value kemonomimi girls because of the Originium cosmetic packs, the artistic quality was just too poor!"

Bai Xun spoke without looking up, his eyes quickly scanning through web pages, adding any page with a name that even remotely seemed interesting to him.

"Down with the notebook!"
