Two Stars: Wipe out Leisangton Company's special response unit, Trauma Team, and eliminate the manager of Leisangton Company's Detroit branch. Three Stars: Hidden objective Note: Completing the minimum rating will prevent the player from dying in reality. Trial Ability: 1. Ability Card Visualization:
To make confronting Leisangton Company more entertaining, every event you experienced could reward you with an Ability Card usable in this game.
(Note: Experiencing an event did not necessarily require combat.)
2. Basic Bartending Mastery
(Stir the base spirit, then add 4 ounces of gin.
Next, shake the silver bottle.
Okay, you were now a mature bartender.
It was time to figure out how to mix the President of America a Golden Age that would make him desperately want to use the bathroom after drinking it.)
Su Wen looked at the darkly humorous jab in the game's notes and could not help smiling.
He did not dislike such prompts.
On the contrary, he liked this style.
After all.
For a Chief Player who could reload saves, mixing the President of America a spray cocktail on some timeline that had yet to collapse was not out of the question.
He opened the game.
Amid the sound of pouring rain.
Su Wen appeared in a rainy night that could only be described as a downpour.
You have been drenched. Your current vital signs have slightly declined. It is recommended that you immediately find shelter from the rain.
In the distance.
Through the curtain of rain, a road sign with only two lit panels pointed toward Midtown, marked by Detroit's former glory.
Corktown, with its Greek influences, had a deep sense of history.
The area had historic wooden homes, stylish lofts, exposed brickwork, sprawling galleries, and artisan-level shops.
Of course, there were also plenty of cafés and bars.
In such a downpour.
Most passersby, even with umbrellas, had no interest in admiring the scenery.
And even fewer noticed Su Wen, dressed in black beneath a broken streetlamp.
Bartender Number One Game Progress: Nightfall, Day One, 8:00 PM Tonight, you might encounter people representing different factions. Appraisal function unlocked: Affinity System
He opened the Affinity System to take a look:
Affinity System: Your choices will determine how favorably others view you. If your affinity with a faction is low, you will receive debuffs. Likewise, if your affinity with other factions is high, you will receive corresponding positive buffs. (Your relationship network will determine your attributes. Isn't that crazy?) (As someone who stumbled into the City of Chaos, do you choose to remain a normal person, or become a "madman" or "thug" capable of resonating with them?)
Looking at that prompt.
Su Wen felt that this game would be quite interesting.
After all.
As a player who did not exactly follow the rules.
What he liked most was clearing games through unconventional methods.
Phase Task Objective: Successfully demonstrate your bartending skills before White Hound Vern Onions by 11:00 PM. First, you need an opportunity to get your hands on a cocktail shaker. Note: Freezing Point Bar is not far from you.
Su Wen stood in the heavy rain. After reviewing the game rules, he was already soaked through.
Normally.
Even if someone noticed him, they would probably stare at him strangely.
After all, Su Wen was standing motionless in the downpour without an umbrella.
If he had not just gone through a breakup, then his Wall Street stocks had probably crashed, and he was preparing to become a rooftop jumper.
But this was Detroit.
Accompanied by a muffled gunshot in the rainy night.
Su Wen watched a man in a trench coat flee past him through the torrential rain.
Behind that man.
A fat man and a thin man came charging out.
They chased after him while hurling insults.
The usual classic American profanity.
The next second.
Just as Su Wen sensed danger and prepared to dodge.
A bullet struck him with perfect accuracy.
He became the unlucky bystander who took the hit.
You were shot by Bacchus. You are currently injured. Because your appearance obstructed Bacchus's pursuit of Gore, Carnival Convoy's affinity toward you -10. Current player debuff acquired: Noise from the Racing Carnival. Debuff—Limping: Player movement speed reduced by 30%. You have died. Reload save?
???
You shot me, an innocent passerby, and you can lower my affinity at the same time?
What terrible manners.
I'll remember you.
Su Wen had died suddenly before doing anything at all.
He could only choose to reload.
Reload Save: Game Start
This time, he did not stand around at the beginning, spacing out while reading information.
Instead, he darted into a street corner with astonishing agility.
Before long.
The same gunshot rang out.
After the fleeing man passed by, Su Wen watched the two pursuers emerge through the rain and approach him.
He stuck out his foot.
Smack!
The man who had shot him earlier fell straight onto the ground in a textbook face-first dive.
Before the man could react.
Su Wen immediately grabbed the pistol the thug had dropped while rolling across the ground.
Then.
He pulled the trigger without hesitation!
Bang!
Bang!
Two shots.
The two thugs fell in response.
As a first-rank Sequence: Knight extraordinary, even if their number had doubled, they would still have been finished in an ambush.
Besides, he did not feel a shred of pity for thugs who had no regard for innocent bystanders.
Because your actions were not discovered by Carnival Convoy, your current faction affinity has not decreased. Because you saved Gore, Environmentalist faction affinity +30. Current player buff acquired: Weeds Cannot Cut the Mower. Buff effect: When facing low-affinity factions, you gain a chance to evade. You experienced the event: Escape. You have gained one chance to draw a temporary Ability Card for this game.
What a trash game.
As an innocent passerby, not only had he taken a bullet for no reason, he had even been saddled with a limping debuff.
Meanwhile, if he wiped out every witness, not only would he avoid bad luck, he could even draw a card.
Su Wen had come to understand just how absurd Detroit had become as the City of Chaos five years after the Origin Era.
There were numerous hidden relics here.
And the American government exercised relatively weak control.
Thus, all kinds of disorderly madness had flourished.
"For an ordinary passerby, this place really isn't friendly enough."
He felt less like he was playing a bartender simulator and more like an assassin in a Detroit-set game mixed with elements of Assassin's Creed: Unity.
After the two gunshots, Gore suddenly could no longer hear the pursuing curses.
He cautiously put some distance between them and looked back, only then discovering that Su Wen had saved him.
"Do you have a grudge against Carnival Convoy too?"
"I did just now. Not anymore."
Su Wen meant the reloaded save.
But to Gore, that handsome, cold gentleman probably had no interest in dead people.
That was seriously cool!
He said gratefully:
"Brother, thanks to you.
I really didn't expect those Carnival Convoy guys to chase me for two kilometers through a downpour without even riding motorcycles.
Too bad I've only got three hundred dollars on me, or I would definitely take you to the Rose Hotel for a good time."
