Chapter 6 The Daily Life of the Two

Previous Chapter

"Huh...... This is what real king crab tastes like...... It's so much better than synthetic meat, and it's the first time I've ever eaten real seafood......"

Although at this moment, in front of the double table in a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in Z City, Sasha, who was vigorously breaking a smooth red king crab crab claw, said such words with emotion as if a country man had entered the city.

But in fact, for all the inhabitants of the Cyberpunk series who have already experienced the equivalent of the 'Third World War' in disguise...... Livestock meat, which is very common in the modern world, and fine wine made from natural grains, have been turned into rare commodities that are no different from the out-of-print products in that wasteland.

The natural environment is rapidly harsh.

Half of the foods that were not so hard to find on the international food market a century ago are now extinct.

Just wanting to eat a bite of fresh ingredients is not so simple.

Looking at the appalling statistic in the game [only 3% of the world's people eat fresh food more than once a year], you can imagine how difficult the lives of the low-level civilians in that world are.

In a world where capitalism is so supreme that it turns a large area of agricultural land into factory land...... These delicacies that the people of the old era could eat have become pure natural green luxuries that only the richest and richest people in the new era are entitled to enjoy every day.

The meat supply of ordinary people can only rely on crickets and earthworms, which have been adjusted by genetically modified technology, as the main source of synthetic protein meat.

No matter what 'beef ramen' or 'hot dog' or 'tuna sushi' is sold in the local market, it looks just as similar to the real thing in the modern world.

In essence, they are all genetically modified crickets and earthworms that are industrially farmed on a large scale as the main source of meat raw materials......

In fact, even this kind of meat that normal modern people can't help but feel sick to their stomachs as soon as they hear the inside story, and in that extremely cyberpunk world, it is not something that everyone can eat casually.

It's something that only the citizens of the night city who can have a stable job have a chance to eat.

Civilians at the bottom in the truest sense of the word...... That is to say, the displaced people who are not counted as citizens by those large companies or black-hearted foreign governments, and they are even more daily scavengers who live a life of eating and sleeping in the wilderness wasteland with extremely harsh natural conditions......

This is also the main reason why Night City, a dystopian city, no matter how bad the living conditions of the residents are, there will always be more than 100,000 refugees who are not afraid of death every year, constantly pouring into the city to try to 'chase their dreams'.

…… Although most of the ends of these people have become fertilizer for the city.

"This real-world cuisine is just like that, no matter how strong it is, it can only play to the level of ordinary standards."

"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I can take you to another world like "The Spirit of the Halberd" or "The Captive of Food" to experience the real breakthrough ...... food."

Looking at the other party's performance of constantly stuffing his mouth with various delicacies like a chipmunkβ€”β€”β€”β€” in fact, Bai Lan, who had already eaten all the high-end restaurants in the province before the other party was asked out by him to relax in the next restaurant today, was naturally out of the mentality of being raised with a little appetite, and subconsciously released his bold words at this moment......

"Really? When, exactly? ”

Hearing this, Sasha's eyes looked at the man in front of her as if they were shining.

"Well, we'll have to wait until about half a year later......"

Faced with this question, Bai Lan, who was a little weak in her heart, now looked at him subconsciously and replied:

"My current exploration of other worlds has not been smooth, and the few worlds on the other side are either too exaggerated in combat power, and mortals like me have no place to stand at all, or they lack the way to cultivate and become stronger......"

"So until I accumulate enough money to go to your world and buy the latest [Military Individual Exoskeleton Armor], I still don't have much motivation to continue to explore the other world physically......"

It's not that Bai Lan is too timid, and he doesn't even have the courage to travel through another world.

It is true that this man has opened three doors in a row during this month, and he has found that he does not seem to have the ability to enter and explore freely......

The first door leads to the interior of Naruto's Konoha Village.

Judging from the huge three Hokage rock heads, it seems that the age is still during the reign of the three generations of Hokage before the four generations of Hokage took the throne.

This kind of fandom material in the Γ— light novel area is rotten on the street.,Although it seems to be a very good and powerful traverser cultivation holy land.。

But it doesn't have much to do with Bai Lan, an outsider who is not a ninja native of that world, and his ancestors have not had direct contact with the Divine Tree or the Otsuki clan......

After all, if he can't even refine the chakra, then what is the "Hokage"?

You can't expect him to walk through the dangerous ninja realm with his physical body, try to walk to the three immortal realms of Miaomu Mountain, Longdi Cave, or the Wet Bone Forest, and try to follow those three immortals to practice immortal arts, right?

The second door leads to the world of "Death", which is the supremacy of bloodlines, not to mention.

First, he is not a superb hybrid like the protagonist Ichito, with the ability to become stronger rapidly, and like the author's own son weasel on the set of "Naruto" next door, he will take out the crotch of his pants at any time according to the needs of the plot to kill the boss in seconds.

Whether he, an ordinary person, can cultivate spiritual pressure, no one can say.

You can't bet that after you die on the spot, you will inevitably be taken to Soul Street by the Grim Reaper safe and sound, and then try to become stronger in Soul Street, right?

The second is the initial location of the broken door, which is actually opened near the Void Night Palace in the Void Circle...... So much so that he didn't even have any hope of going to Soul Street.

He didn't want to be caught by a monster of the level of Aizen or Broken Blade at all, so after checking the door to confirm what the other party's scenery was, he was so frightened that he immediately closed the door and never opened it again......

As for the world connected by the third door, it is not the last "One Piece" among the three major migrant workers of "Sea of Dead Fire".

He really hoped it was the world of One Piece.

Even if the starting location is Mary Joy, or the harsh environment of the Deep Sea Prison, which is extremely unfriendly to ordinary people, he can accept it.

After all, although that world is dangerous, the three major cultivation paths of [Devil Fruit], [Navy Six Style], and [Two-color domineering (don't think about it if you look at European Qi in Overlord Color)] are not impossible to try.

But it's a pity that the ...... The last world to open the door is "Devilman......

It's not the old version of the animation.,It's the new version of the animation of "Devilman Crybaby" that most restores the original comics......

On the opposite side of the opening game is the famous scene of the mob carnival of 'Meishu String of Incense', which is too hazy.

He took one look and quickly closed the door.

Even the drone didn't dare to pick it up.

I was afraid that on the spot of opening the door, the mob who discovered my whereabouts through the door would rush to the real world here and eat myself alive......

Therefore, compared to those three, they are either too high-risk, or they are unable to cultivate.

The world of the "Cyberpunk Series" here looks particularly clear and pleasing to the eye.

He would rather stay at home and touch the fish for half a year, to gather all the weapons he can bring, and he doesn't want to explore those random other worlds that are still too dangerous for him.

"Is that an exaggeration? Hmmm...... Which worlds are more dangerous than the dystopia on my side? ”

After hearing Bai Lan's obvious cringe tone, Sasha, who didn't know the inside story, was now chewing on the white tender crab leg meat while looking at the man in front of him again with curiosity.

"Of course it's much more dangerous...... At the very least, the inhabitants of Night City will not be able to walk normally on the streets before being suddenly eaten by [Monsters (Void/Demons)], or [Forced to participate in a World War (Ninja War) every ten years]. ”

"That sounds outrageous......

"Let's not talk about these uninteresting things...... What has been your recent experience with life on this side of the real world? In the past world of 2022, are you still used to it? ”

After briefly dealing with the other party's specific experience in the exploration of another world, he slowly picked up the cup of cold fat house happy water on the table, took a sip of Bai Lan, and now asked the other party about his recent life experience.

"It's okay, the dragon kingdom of your world doesn't have to worry about any gang shootouts one day, or cyber psychosis, and even if you go out alone in the middle of the night, you won't encounter any dangerous good security environment, it's really pretty good......"

"If it weren't for the fact that my Chinese is not proficient, and the electronic information technology here is not very developed, I would have wanted to live in this world for a lifetime~"

And judging from Sasha's gentle and smiling facial expression, the other party's daily life in this world is indeed quite satisfying.

"How are you going to live after you've earned enough money to go back to that world?"

Bai Lan took a sip of happy water again.

"Of course, I will wash my hands and retire from the golden basin, and live a corrupt capitalist life every day~"

I saw that while the other party was playing with the decorative tomatoes on the dinner plate with a fork, the girl who gradually became a little lazy in her tone slowly said her future plans:

"I didn't join the mercenary profession because I liked it, and I went to pin my head to the waistband of my pants all day long, fighting and killing endlessly......"

"What's more, my greatest wish in that world right nowβ€”β€”β€”β€” which is to find the cause of my mother's death and try to prevent more people from experiencing the same side effects of the drug as my mother, has been successfully fulfilled."

"So I don't have much nostalgia for that city anymore."

"In the future, maybe I will continue to stay in Night City, or buy myself a mansion in a wealthy area elsewhere, and then stay at home every day to play games or take some personal work to pass the time......

"Can you do me a little favor when you get back?"

Bai Lan, who had a very sincere attitude, made another request to the girl in front of her.

"Is it related to the animated plot of "Edge Walker"?"

Sasha narrowed her bright blue and pink eyes slightly.

"Almost, I don't have any other goals, the main thing is that I want you to help me hammer Adam, the boss who I have changed into a trick shark countless times in the game, and completely hammer it in your world in advance......"

Bai Lan's tone when he mentioned this was quite light.

It seems to be from the big boss of the mercenary king in the "Cyberpunk series", as if it is a miscellaneous fish that can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

"That's not a small favor, is it?"

But Sasha, who immediately raised his eyebrows, didn't think so at all.

"Next time I'll take you to another world for free?"

"I refuse blank checks."

"How about I pay you to hire you? For example, adjust the sharing ratio to June Fourth? ”

"What does the life and death of the hero and heroine of the animation have to do with me?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Five-five? Couldn't be more. ”

Bai Lan, who maintains the state of dead fish eyes, still doesn't believe that the other party who is greedy for money will not bite the hook.

"So after seeing the ending of that junior in the animation, how can a girl who is not made of stone not have some sympathy in her heart...... So let's do it. ”

And the other party's reaction that immediately changed his tone was indeed not what the other party expected......

It's just β€”β€”β€”β€”

"For most of the time in the future, I will ask you to take care of it? Landlord, Ancestor, Student~"

"Uh...... Well! ”

Goo-Du –

β€”β€”β€”β€” from Sasha, who had a slight playful smile on his face, and the seductive words that opened his lips lightly after that made this man who had been single until now a little uncontrollable......

That's not good.

Compared to the animated heroine Lucy who hasn't seen it yet, and the beginning is a 'crazy beauty' painting style.

Sasha, who can be said to be a 'youth version of Cyber Catwoman' in front of him, seems to be more in line with his XP than the other party......
