According to Sister Ji, she was so tired of working at the Red Dream Club, mixing drinks and watching people drive.

"I wish I could watch people drive every day!" (Airplane)

"Shut up! If you interrupt me again, I'll be muted!"

"Okay!"

In addition, she also has to avoid being harassed by various NPCs. The only fun she gets as a bartender is that there are always some drunk NPCs who talk to her about life and ideals, and they get very emotional.

Those who possess the Red Dream Club VIP card are at least mid-level managers in a company, which is why Sister Ji knows many secrets about the City That Never Sleeps.

"Sister Ji, why don't you write these things down as background information? Wouldn't that be more interesting than posting lewd pictures every day?" —Airplane

[You have muted player 'Airplane' for one hour]

"Your idea is good, but those who should be silenced should still be silenced."

In short, just last night, a balding middle-level manager at "Deep Image," a well-known company in the city that never sleeps and a regular at the Red Dream Club, complained to Sister Ji.

His daughter is in an online relationship!

He's going to hire someone to kill this scumbag!

Ji Jie didn't take it seriously at first, but when she logged in again the next morning, she found that there was a new task in the system panel.

Mission: Hire a hitman to commit murder

Difficulty: Normal+

Mission Briefing: Benson, a middle manager with a deep-seated image, has given you a request: to kill her boyfriend without her daughter's knowledge.

Mission objective: Kill the target's boyfriend

Task Rewards: 2000 Experience Points, Benson's Favorability +100, Blueprint *1, 'Deep Image' Product *1

Note: This task is beyond the player's level range. Task sharing is available; in this case, experience will be distributed more fairly among participating players.

"In short, this is a sudden mission: kill your ex-boyfriend. Everyone is welcome to speak up."

[You have lifted the ban on player 'Airplane']

"Sister Ji, that's his boyfriend, not his ex-boyfriend."

"The only girl in the group," pp said weakly.

"Nonsense, if we kill this guy, he'll be our ex-boyfriend!" Sister Ji declared domineeringly.

"A question!" (Airplane)

"Put"

What does Deep Image do? Are you an image consultant?

"It's supposedly a virtual dating company that handles all sorts of virtual dating services. Remember that towering, ten-story-high Adorno? That was designed by them."

"By the way, those holographic guys you run into on the street are also from their company."

"Damn it, the root of all evil!"

"It was that bastard!"

"My first death was because I inexplicably signed more than a dozen contracts, and when debt collectors came knocking on my door, I jumped off a building and committed suicide! Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Sister Ji, let's change our assassination target and take this guy down!" Black Ice Number One.

"Bullshit, I risk being groped every day to finally get this mission. Do you know how hard it is for me?" Sister Ji sent an angry emoji.

"A question!" (Airplane)

Release again

"Excuse me, Sister Ji, is his daughter a minor?"

"Uh, it should be a minor, but are you asking about the manufacturing date or the operating date?"

'???'

"Is her daughter an android?" I love eating steamed Baozi.

"I already said it's an online relationship, how come it's still about androids? Do you guys even know how to read the question?! Virtual daughter, virtual character, artificial intelligence!"

Sister Ji sent several angry emojis.

'...'

'...'

'...'

"Sister Ji, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should!" —Airplane

Keep playing!

"Just who is Benson's daughter?"

"Is he raising a Miracle Nikki?" pp_head

"Something like Adorno?"

"Pretty much. His wife is an intermediate-level AI. The couple specifically went to the mother city for data regeneration and spent several years debugging the program to raise this AI daughter."

"City people really know how to have fun!" Big Brother Hui exclaimed with a wistful emoji.

"Okay, enough with the fluff. This mission has a time limit. According to this bald man, he only discovered by chance that his daughter was going to meet this man in person, which is why he killed him in a fit of rage. If the two of them meet, there won't be another chance."

Is his daughter's boyfriend a local?

"It doesn't seem so. I heard it's an artist from the other side of the world."

"The other side of freedom, huh? There's probably something wrong with that," said the eldest brother, Hui.

"What do you mean?"

"Beyond Freedom, the largest black market for downloaded consciousness in the southern hemisphere of this planet, her boyfriends are either con artists with downloaded cyborg personalities, humanoid viruses, or potential criminals implanted with criminal chips. In short, no one from Beyond Freedom is normal."

"Or, to take it even further, this boyfriend himself is a corporate spy sent by a rival company to bring down Benson."

"Wow, that's awesome!"

"Big brother, you know so much!"

"Big Brother Hui, you're the legendary overpowered protagonist from the start, the adopted son of a legendary mafia godfather?"

Does your father need another grandson?

'...' Big Brother Hui.

"@Big Brother Hui, don't listen to them, continue," said Sister Ji.

"Okay, let's assume this boyfriend definitely has a problem. Then here's the problem: if you don't kill him immediately and shut down his consciousness, he'll inevitably choose to run away."

"If you're assassinated... of course you'll run away, what's the problem?"

"When I say 'running away,' I mean transferring my consciousness."

"If he is a second consciousness, and the physical body is merely a temporary vessel, he would choose to upload his consciousness."

"If he were a human-shaped virus, he would begin a massive outbreak."

"If he had a criminal chip implanted in him, he would inevitably take a large group of people with him before he dies, including Benson's daughter."

"In short, if you don't kill him and shut down his consciousness immediately, you'll be in trouble."

"Only the most dangerous and powerful clandestine profession— Cyber Hacker —can deal with these data layers on-site; we definitely can't."

The group chat was filled with a string of "666".

"Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. Maybe that boyfriend is just a young man who doesn't know what 'the other side of freedom' is and is just using that name to show off."

"After all, the mission difficulty is only normal, so it's unlikely that any monsters will appear. It's just that this '+' is making me uneasy."

The eldest brother, Hui, added something else.

"So, to complete the mission 100%, we can't take the gang-up route; we need to aim for a one-hit kill?" Sister Ji

That's exactly what I mean.

"Does anyone know how to get a sniper rifle? And has anyone unlocked the skill to use a sniper rifle?" Sister Ji asked.

The group was silent.

"Sis, the server's only been open for less than five days, and the game map is so huge. Most players are still exploring."

"I do have sniper rifles in my shop. If you just need to borrow them temporarily..." I love Baozi.

"You have a shop? Bro, you own a shop?!" (Airplane)

"Working people, working spirit"

Baozi sent a humble emoji.

The plan was ultimately rejected because most people lacked skills with even ordinary firearms, let alone sniper rifles.

I love Baozi, but seeing this, I dared not "borrow" any more. If I ruined them, he would have to commit suicide to atone for it.

"@Big Brother Hui, what are your thoughts, Boss Hui?" Sister Ji.

"I might have a way, but I'm not sure I can get out."

"Where are you, boss?" the plane asked.

"Training in a villa by the sea with a bunch of identical-looking guys. They want to kill me, and I want to kill them."

"I've seen this episode before—it's about infighting within a wealthy family!!" PP's boss exclaimed excitedly.

"I actually have someone in mind," Baozi hesitated for a moment before sending the message, "But I'm not sure if he'd be willing to come."

"He's not showing up for a mission? Is he an idiot?" (Airplane)

"Uh, he accepted a hidden quest."

"Go to hell, all Europeans!" - Black Ice II

"Is his level high enough? A one-hit kill requires certain attributes," said Big Brother Hui.

"I asked him yesterday, and he's already level 9. He should reach level 10 today."

'...'

This time, even the eldest brother, Hui, sent an ellipsis.
