For a Complete Stranger, This City Is Not Exactly Friendly

[Two Stars: Eliminate the Leis Angton Special Handling Unit 'Trauma Team' and take down the Administrator of Leis Angton's Detroit branch.]

[Three Stars: Hidden Objective]

[Note: Completing the minimum rating will prevent the player's death in reality.]

[Trial Abilities: 1. Ability Card Visualization:

To increase the fun of confronting Leisangton Company, you will receive Ability Cards usable in this game as a reward each time you experience an event.

(Note: Experiencing an event does not necessarily require combat.)

2. Novice Bartending Proficiency

(Stir the base liquor, then add 4 ounces of gin.

Then shake the silver bottle.

Okay, you're a mature bartender now.

Time to figure out how to mix a 'Golden Age' cocktail for the President of America that will make him want to run to the toilet after drinking it.)]

Su Wen smiled as he looked at the slightly gray humor in the game's annotations.

He didn't dislike these kinds of hints.

On the contrary, he liked this style.

After all.

For a Chief Player who can save and reload, mixing a jet-propulsion cocktail for the President of America in a timeline that hasn't collapsed yet isn't out of the question.

He clicked on the game.

Amidst the rustling background sounds.

Su Wen appeared in a rainy night that could be described as a downpour.

[You are wet]

[Current vital signs slightly decreased]

[It is recommended to find shelter from the rain immediately]

In the distance.

In the rain, a road sign with only two lights lit pointed towards Midtown, marking Detroit's former glory.

Corktown mixed with Greek style has a historical feel.

This area has historic wooden houses, trendy lofts, exposed bricks, and long galleries, as well as artisan-level shops.

Of course, there are also plenty of cafes and bars.

In this kind of downpour.

Even those passersby holding umbrellas had no intention of appreciating the scenery.

And no one paid attention to Su Wen, who appeared in black clothing under a broken street lamp.

[Bartender Number One]

[Game Progress: First Night, 8 PM]

[Tonight, you may encounter people representing different positions]

[Identification Function Open: Friendliness System]

He clicked on the Friendliness System to check:

[Friendliness System: Your choices will determine other people's favorability towards you. If a certain faction's favorability is low, you will receive a debuff.

Similarly, if other factions have high favorability, you will also receive corresponding positive buffs.]

(Relationship networks will determine your attributes, isn't that crazy?)

(As an intruder in a chaotic city, do you want to choose to become a normal person, or to become a 'madman' or 'thug' who can resonate with them?)

Looking at this prompt.

Su Wen felt that this game would be very interesting.

After all.

As a player who doesn't follow the rules.

What he likes to do most is to clear the game through unconventional means.

[Phase Task Objective: Successfully demonstrate your bartending skills in front of Fern Onions at the 'White Hound' before 11 PM]

[First, you need a chance to get access to bartending bottles]

[Note: Freezing Point Bar is not far from you]

Su Wen stood in the heavy rain, because he had been browsing the game rules, he was now soaked.

Normally speaking.

Even if someone noticed him, they would probably look at him with strange eyes.

After all, Su Wen was just standing in the downpour without an umbrella, not moving.

Assuming it wasn't a heartbreak, it was probably his Wall Street stocks crashing, and he was getting ready to become a high-flying man on the rooftop.

But this was Detroit.

Accompanied by the muffled sound of gunfire in the rainy night.

Su Wen watched a man in a windbreaker flee past him in the pouring rain.

And behind this man.

Two people, one fat and one thin, rushed out.

They chased and cursed.

Classic American curses, at that.

The next second.

Just as Su Wen sensed danger and prepared to dodge.

A bullet accurately struck him.

He became the unlucky guy who took the hit.

[You have been shot by Bacchus]
[Currently in an injured state]
[Because your appearance blocked Bacchus from chasing Gore]
['Carnival Convoy' Faction Favorability -10]
[Currently, the player has obtained a debuff: Noise from a Biker Carnival]
[Debuff - Lame Leg: Player movement speed reduced by 30%]
[You have died]
[Reload?]

???

You shot a complete stranger like me, and it also lowers your friendliness.

Such poor quality?

I'll remember you.

Su Wen died before he even did anything.

He could only choose to reload.

[Reload: Game Start]

This time, he didn't stand there blankly at the start, staring at the information.

Instead, he dodged into a street corner with extreme agility.

Not long after.

The same gunshots rang out.

After the fleeing man passed by, Su Wen watched the two pursuers come to his side through the rain.

He stuck out his foot.

Thump!

The person who shot him earlier fell straight to the ground in a standard head-first dive.

Before that person could react.

Su Wen immediately felt around in the roll and found the handgun that the thug had dropped on the ground.

Then.

He pulled the trigger decisively!

Bang!

Bang!

The two thugs fell to the ground in response.

As a Tier 1 [Sequence: Knight] Transcendent, in the case of a sneak attack, even if the number of opponents doubled, they would be finished.

Moreover, he had no sympathy for these thugs who disregarded passersby.

[Because your actions were not discovered by the 'Carnival Convoy,' current faction favorability has not decreased]
[Because you saved Gore, the 'Environmentalist' faction favorability +30]
[Currently, the player has obtained a buff: Weeds Cannot Cut the Pruner]
[Buff Effect: When facing factions with low favorability, you will gain an evasion chance]

[You have experienced the event: Escape]

[Gained one chance to draw a temporary Ability Card for this game]

What a garbage game.

As a complete passerby, not only did I get shot for no reason, but I also got a limp debuff.

Conversely, eliminating all the witnesses not only avoids bad luck, but even lets you draw a card.

Su Wen felt just how outrageous Detroit had become five years after the Origin Era, as the City of Chaos.

Because there are many hidden Relics here.

And the American government's control is relatively low.

So it has bred a lot of chaotic madness.

"For ordinary people, this place really isn't very friendly."

He felt like he wasn't experiencing a bartender simulator, but had become an assassin mixed with 'Assassin's Creed: Revolution' elements, set in Detroit.

After two gunshots, Gore suddenly couldn't hear the cursing shouts of the pursuers anymore.

He cautiously widened the distance and looked back, only to discover that Su Wen had saved him:

"You also have a grudge against the Carnival Convoy?"

"I did just now, not anymore."

Su Wen was referring to reloading.

But to Gore, that handsome, aloof gentleman probably had no interest in dead people.

That's really cool!

He said gratefully:

"Brother, thanks to you.

I really didn't expect those guys from the Carnival Convoy to be able to chase me for two kilometers in the pouring rain without riding motorcycles.

Too bad I only have three hundred dollars on me, otherwise I would definitely have to take you to the Rose Hotel for a good time."
