Night Hacker Chapter 80: Sword
Kabukicho, diva’s den bar.
Colorful lights flicker in the hall with mixed izakaya decoration style, and a long bar surrounds a large stage in the middle. Yakuza patrons drank at the bar while kimono girls sang soft ballads into boom microphones on stage.
“The matter of the boxing area belongs to the boxing area, and has nothing to do with our Yakuza.”
“That’s right, no matter what she does or thinks, as long as she is a bank dog, I don’t trust her, and I still don’t buy anything from Seth.”
“If you don’t buy it, you can’t afford it anyway.”
……
San Manga District, Iron Water chestnut bar.
The cold metal constitutes the decoration of the bar counter, tables and chairs, etc. The abstract style distorts the shape of the bar counter strangely.
“Don’t tell me, Miss Elizabeth Sterling is so beautiful, she is different from our street dogs.”
“That’s right, street dogs can’t pretend that kind of high-level temperament. But she doesn’t have the low-level temperament of our street dogs either.”
“Pretty women are the most deceptive, the more beautiful the better. I have a feeling that I will be fooled by Miss Sterling.”
……
Small flea area, five hundred flea bars.
This bar in the middle has a typical flea market mix-and-match style. Except for an L-shaped bar, there are shelves everywhere, selling alcohol and various gadgets. It also rents out private rooms for a living, so from time to time there are figures of extraordinary people coming and going.
“Is Miss Sterling putting on a show? There are also rumors that she has always been different from other bank dogs, and may not even be a blood eater.”
“That’s not true, she is a boxer now, maybe a fighter or an assassin.”
“Other rich people have gone back to Weicheng Mountain, but she is still in the boxing area, in the fighting hotel on Mad War Street, she is really not afraid.”
……
Xuanyuan District, Happy Spring Water Club.
The fountain in the hollow lobby on the first floor sprays the atmosphere of carnival, and the benefactors dressed like electronic versions of the ancient Babylonians drink and chat with the cowherds and girls, and sometimes rejoice over who opened the expensive wine.
“Dagny, the Miss Sterling who helped you last time has made a big splash in the boxing area.”
“She’s so bold, she didn’t say much that day, and directly opened five million wine.”
“Miss Sterling is a good person, I feel so.”
“It’s so easy for rich people to be good people, but the strange thing is that they are the least good people.”
……
The night has come again, and the streets around Fist Square are less crowded than last night, but just as noisy.
Under the neon lights, next to the majestic boxing stone, there are always groups of boxers looking up, hitting the stone with their palms, and fighting if they disagree with each other, causing the passers-by around to scream.
When passers-by pass the Fighting Hotel, they will always look inside a few more times, and they can see the vigilant figure of Seth’s security guards.
The Fighting Hotel is not a high-end star-rated place, there is nothing like that in the boxing area, and the Shengshou Boxing Gym is basically the most luxurious and brand-new building. Even if a rich man came to watch a boxing match, no matter how late it was, he would go back to the other side of the East River Bridge.
All the bank dogs that played the boxing match last night left, and only one was left, who lived in a cheap hotel where bank dogs would not set foot.
Seth’s security staff didn’t even clear the entire hotel, not even the floor where the employer lived, but just occupied a few extra rooms to keep other hotel guests away.
Elizabeth is living in one of the rooms at this time.
The room is not too spacious, with a bed, a locker and an old TV, there is nothing else.
Elizabeth was standing by a small window, looking at the lively night scene of Fist Stone Square outside, slightly lost in thought.
Now, many people think it’s her.
In fact, Elizabeth knew that it was the master’s clever calculations, who had already pointed out a clear way for her.
Her right palm was wrapped with white gauze, and she was holding the electronic sword that was already a strange thing, her sword in the stone.
During the day, the old mother brought the family team over. The alchemist appraised the sword and determined that it was a strange object, and it was a very, very precious “growth type strange object”.
At that time, the way several alchemists and old mothers looked at her and the sword changed a bit, and the overdrive dream spirit enlightened.
Rare items are extremely rare, and growth-type rare items are even rarer among the rare.
Strange objects also have supernatural levels. Like superhumans, they use the system of J-level, Q-level, K-level, A-level, etc. The level usually means how many supernatural functions a strange thing has, just like installing a supernatural program.
For example, Yiyi——her strange object chair is a second-programmer’s strange object. The J-level function is to detect extraordinary talents, personality integrity, and other extraordinary values. The Q-level function is a first-aid program for a doctor profession. .
And now this sword is still J-level for the time being, with a function, the function is unknown.
But theoretically it has no upper limit, it can improve with her.
Some strange things will get out of control and need to be contained and managed, or transformed into an unconscious body like Yi Yi by alchemists, only retaining strange effects, like a dead thing.
But this sword, Elizabeth is determined not to do that, she controls it herself.
Moreover, growth-type strange objects need to retain the strange object consciousness formed due to unknown formations in order to grow and improve. Once it is changed to unconsciousness, it is tantamount to abolished.
This is her sword, and the family has no intention of taking it away. It is hers, and it is up to her to decide.
At this time, Elizabeth held the strange sword with both hands and activated it again.
Now as long as she holds the hilt of the sword, the decorative orb on the sword grid will emit a faint light, and then there will be an electronic sound – originally this is the horn device of the electronic sword itself, but now it has become a strange thing Sounder of consciousness.
Immediately, a sword light appeared on the edge of the sword, the sword beads flickered, and a synthesized sound like an electronic pet sounded:
“I had a good time today, until I met you, a fool, oh no, a hero. There is only one secret to being a good hero, stay stupid.”
“Good evening…” Elizabeth looked at the long sword in her hand and greeted.
Its conscious style is a little different from what she expected before…
“Beep, beep, the test is over, your biggest advantage right now is your appearance.” The sword said again.
Elizabeth chuckled with complicated emotions, “Is that so…”
“User dissatisfaction is rising. The settings cannot be changed. Heroes need someone to give advice at all times. King Arthur has Master Merlin, and you have me. I am not called Baojian, but Jianbao.”
“I’m not dissatisfied.” Elizabeth said seriously, really not.
“If you want a jester, I can satisfy you too: Yes, Your Majesty, everyone loves you very much, because your bedroom is bigger than their houses combined.”
“Jianbao, I don’t want jesters.” Elizabeth murmured, “If what you say makes sense, I will listen.”
After all, it is a sword drawn from the Fist Stone.
But as long as you think about it, you will find that it actually makes sense.
The guidance of the master is only once a week, and it is extremely important and important guidance.
As for Jianbao, it can be by her side at any time, reminding her, so she quite likes it.
As for the sword treasure, the old mother did not comment, but said: “As long as you can bear it, growth-type wonders are treasures.”
Of course it is a treasure, the treasure that Elizabeth found.
There are also Wuzhen, Yucheng, and Lingzi, the three fighters. In order to protect them, she must let them work for her first.
They are temporarily also in this hotel now. After the operation, Ayako’s legs have become mechanical prosthetics, and she is willing to work for her; Wuzhen and Yucheng are valued by the family, and the two have not yet responded.
What Elizabeth can do is to treat them politely and not force them to do things they don’t want to do.
And the 30 million bonus was divided among them, Wuzhen and Yucheng each took half; Ayako had no money, she didn’t want it.
Treasure and herself, her redemption program has risen to 52% of the intermediate level in one fell swoop, and it has been less than half a month since she became a second program, and the general overdrive is not so fast, she has shown her potential.
But she showed her commercial value even more. The family is still evaluating her, but Elizabeth knows that she has succeeded.
Otherwise, it is impossible for her to stay in the boxing area and hold the sword treasure now, and her authority has not been lowered.
Elizabeth looked out of the window again. She had found a way, but she was still a little confused about how to go on.
She looked at her watch. It was past nine o’clock in the evening, and the master’s contact would come at any time. The last two times were at this time.
But she walked up and down, thinking about it, chatting with Jian Bao, two hours passed in a flash, and the contact still hadn’t happened.
Elizabeth couldn’t help being anxious and confused, and asked Jianbao: “Is there something going on tonight, Master?”
“The Sword Dictionary is launched, ‘Master’, page 1142, the meaning of the word is explained as: A person who is actually useless except for rhetoric~IndoMTL.com~. It is because of his own incompetence that he orders the hero to act.”
“Jianbao! You are wrong.” Elizabeth was really dissatisfied with Jianbao’s offense to the master.
Master, who is that, a god-man, unfathomable.
“User dissatisfaction is rising, and the jester mode is activated: According to Dante, bankers will be sent to the third circle of the seventh floor of **** after death. Your Majesty, you will have a neat family there .”
Elizabeth was startled when she heard this, and then she came back to her senses.
“I’m not a banker, I’m not a blood-eater profession, I’m a hero.”
“The Sword Dictionary is activated, ‘The third circle of the seventh layer of hell’, page 56192, the meaning of the word is explained as: a hero who pretends to be a banker and becomes a banker after slaying a dragon.”
“Oh.” Elizabeth didn’t want to deal with the sword treasure for the time being, and looked at the wall hangings again, becoming more and more impatient.
She continued to wait, and after another half an hour, it was almost midnight, and it would not be Wednesday.
Suddenly without warning, a prompt box popped up in my mind:
[During the console call, it will be forced to connect after the countdown ends: 59 seconds]
Here we come! Elizabeth was delighted, tidying up her clothes, standing dignifiedly, holding a sword in her hand, like a student preparing to answer to her instructor, this time with more than 30 seconds left, she pressed on.
Suddenly, the surrounding light and shadow flickered and pulled, and she entered that mysterious dimension again. In a strange light and shadow, that mysterious figure was sitting on the throne, holding a scepter in his hand, and the shadow was shaking.
“Master!” Elizabeth exclaimed excitedly, “You may also know that I have found the treasure, thank you for your guidance!”
