Chapter 39: The Informant
A light rain fell in the heavy sky, and the breeze blew fine raindrops on the body, and many people ran to the nearby shopping mall and hotel to take shelter from the rain.
Unlike the player city, although the city in the sky is also under the protection of the energy shield, the city weather simulation system is always on, and there are usually spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind, frost, rain and snow, from this point of view, it is more realistic than the player city.
Despite the fact that all the inhabitants of the city are NPC,..:
The outsider stepped out of the taxi in shock, and he followed the example of the people around him with the briefcase on top of his head to avoid the rain from wetting his hair, and ran into a remote alley on the side of the street in three steps and two steps.
A wild cat, which was foraging by the garbage bin, was startled, and it arched its tail and quickly took a few steps backwards, its brown eyes wide open and wary at the thunderous sky.
Sandwiched between two tall buildings, the alley is small in width, and the fire stairs spiraling upwards on the walls on either side largely shield it from falling rainwater. Lei Jingtian put down the briefcase, and by the way, opened the food bag he was holding in his left hand and put it on the ground - it contained a burger that still had residual warmth, which he bought outside the airport, and a white-collar worker who was running around for a life often solved the problem of diet.
In this city, you don't know if the people who are rushing by are NPCs or players, danger is always there, and if you want to survive and complete missions to get great rewards, you must know how to disguise yourself better. And the exciting experience that will not appear in the player city is what many high-level players are pursuing, there are a lot of posts on the forum about exchanging experiences, some people hang up a few times to practice the level back and then continue to do it, and even some players must first find ways to find other players to kill in order to grab the task, and do not complete it without accumulating 10 items.
And these players are the most dangerous. They can lurk in the crowd at any time and spy around, and attack any player who is exposed.
The little wild cat of color was so happy that it "meowed" a few times, and it boldly stepped forward to open the paper bag, sniffed it and began to enjoy this hard-won meal. Lei Zhentian straightened up, first observed the surrounding situation, and then walked deeper into the alley.
In the innermost part of the alley, a crooked sign hangs on the left wall, and the word Fez Bar is occasionally outlined in shabby neon signs.
Beneath the signboard is a closed iron door.
Knock knock!
As soon as Lei Jingtian knocked a few times, the observation window of the fence above the iron gate was pulled in, revealing a pair of cold eyes inside, and the sound of noisy music could be faintly heard.
"What for? This is a private clubhouse. It's not that members don't accept it, do you have a membership card? The person inside said angrily.
"Absolutely." Thunderbolt struggled to squeeze out a smile and placed a 20 credit denomination note (common to NPC cities, and the exchange service is available in the Gunsmith Club) on the window. The other party nodded in satisfaction, took the banknote and quickly opened the door.
After paying for the entrance fee, I first walked through a narrow passageway, bypassing the obscuring screen wall. The kind of noise that is characteristic of the bar hits the eardrums strongly. Appearing in front of Lei Tiantian's eyes is a bar hall of several hundred square meters, located in the center of the stage, several girls wearing three-point swimsuits, the body is extremely energetic girls are holding silver steel pipes and dancing to the rhythm of the stirring music, many drunken and red-eyed perverts in the audience wave the banknotes in their hands, and when the steel pipe girls smile and lean over to the front of the stage, they are stuffed into their fruitful **, and by the way, touch a few more.
The smell of low-quality cigarettes, the volatile smell of alcohol, and the smell of some greasy cosmetics are mixed together, making people feel dizzy and dizzy. A beautiful receptionist girl in a bunny costume appeared in front of Lei Jingtian with a menu card, she smiled and bowed down and asked, "Welcome to Fez Bar, are you alone, and do you have a reservation?" ”
Thunderbolt took out a banknote and stuffed it between the other party's two snow-white hemispheres. I looked left and right and said, "I have an appointment, at station 28." ”
Seeing Lei Jingtian's generous move, the girl smiled even sweeter: "Okay, sir, please." ”
Counter 28 is located in a secluded corner of the bar. There are partitions on the left and right to block it, which is really great for talking about things. A thin middle-aged man in a gray cloak was drinking beer inside, his little eyes were still dripping around to pay attention to the movements around him, and when he saw the reception girl and Lei Jingtian coming, he immediately raised his hand and whispered: "Here, here." ”
Lei nodded and walked over and sat down across from him. The reception girl on the side leaned over and asked, "What does the gentleman want?" Today the rye beer is good. ”
"Let's just tie it up, add a few plates of snacks or whatever." Take off your coat and loosen your tie,
The box was placed against the wall, and Thunder said casually.
"Okay, 38 credits in total. Thank you for your patronage. The girl quickly recorded the menu, probably in case some drunkard defaulted on the bills, and the consumption here had to be paid for first.
Lei Jingtian put a 50-denomination bill on her tray and said lightly. You don't have to look for change. ”
"Thank you!"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she suddenly leaned over and kissed the thunderous right cheek. The middle-aged man sitting opposite saw the opportunity, and stretched out his groping hand to touch her cocked buttocks.
Syllable! His head was hit hard by the tray, and the girl rolled her eyes and left.
The middle-aged man was not angry, he put the hand that had just touched the girl's buttocks under his nose and sniffed vigorously, with a look of intoxication on his face: "It's so soft, it's so elastic, it's so fragrant, Betty deserves to be the popular princess of Fez Bar." ”
Lei Jingtian resisted the urge to pull out the revolver and blast his head with a shot, frowned and said: "Don't be obscene, give me information quickly, it's not up to you to do whatever you want when you make money and smash it." ”
—
Unexpectedly, hearing the thunderous words, the lewd uncle seemed to be greatly insulted: "Even if you are my customer, you can't insult the goddess in my mind and my taste, although she works in a bar, she never goes out with men for supper, no matter how much!" ”
OMG! Lei Jingtian finally understood that it was correct to be on the airport square~ The AI and behavioral logic of these NPCs. It is indeed very difficult to distinguish which NPCs are NPCs and which are latent quest players among these people.
High AI is high AI, according to the prompts of the mission, this middle-aged man is the only informant who can provide accurate information about the mission to him, and the gunman will arrange the meeting between the two at the beginning of the mission. Lei Jingtian took out a cigarette from his pocket and threw one to the other party, and said lightly: "Okay, don't insult your goddess, have you prepared the intelligence information?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't answer, he took the cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs, and waited until the waiter brought the beer and snacks before taking out a small chip from the watch he was wearing on his wrist.
"That's all the information you want, there's a good opportunity tomorrow afternoon, and it's hard to say if you miss it." The middle-aged man said, putting the chip on the table.
Finally get to the point! Lei Jingtian reached out to get the chip, but the middle-aged man quickly held it down.
"Where's the money!?"
Glaring at the other party, Lei Jingtian threw away a few large-denomination banknotes, and the middle-aged man grabbed the coins with a smile and hurriedly stuffed them into his pocket.
The information has been received, and this task is considered to have completed the second step, and Lei Jingtian immediately lost any ** that stayed here again, picked up his coat and suitcase and walked out.
As he passed the bar, he stopped.
Less than 2 minutes away from him, a young man with dyed blonde hair and a black T-shirt with a flirtatious face was leaning against the bar and talking passionately with a girl sitting on a round chair, the beautiful girl elegantly holding a glass of wine and listening to the young man's gushing boasting, occasionally chuckling and "Ah, is it?" and so on.
Lei turned his head and glanced at the young man.
The other party seemed to be aware of it, and immediately glared at Lei Jingtian, and opened his mouth to scold: "Look at it, you girl..."
Bang! A crisp gunshot interrupted his words.
A bloody flower bloomed on the forehead of the guy who was still talking and high-spirited just now, and his face was full of horror. The whole bar, except for the music, immediately disappeared, and everyone's eyes turned to it. The girl sitting across from the young man covered her mouth in surprise, unable to believe what was happening in front of her.
Under the attention of everyone, Lei Tiantian, who was holding the revolver, sneered, and fired two shots in succession without hesitation, and immediately dodged into the surrounding crowd without looking at the result.
Several green damage numbers appeared on the young man's head in a row, and he immediately collapsed to the ground the moment the thunderbolt left, quickly dispersing into bits of white light.
Seeing this scene, the girl who was shocked just now immediately relaxed, turned around and talked to the bartender behind the bar, and the people around her were the same, and after a second or two, they continued to do what they should do, as if there had been no shooting incident just now.
It was as if time had been rewinded to a few seconds ago, and the bar was still so lively and noisy.
