It's nice to meet you. Where should we start? "
Edward faced the camera, tidied his hair and collar, "Do you want to talk about CTOS or Black Nest first?"
"Why don't we start with your self-introduction?" Louis, who was sitting across from him, said.
I was a core developer of Black Nest's CTOS system. Before that, I went to college for a year, but I quickly dropped out. I have a dog named Pudding. Ugh, I also developed two pieces of software with my friends, and I made a fortune after selling them. The buyer was a technology subsidiary of Black Nest, and they approached me. That was when I learned about the CTOS project, but the words they used when they first recruited me were completely different from the current situation … "Edward paused," Okay, sorry, I haven't done such an interview before, so I'm not quite sure about the process, "he continued," My name is Benjamin, Benjamin Reynolds … I'm a core developer of Black Nest's CTOS system.
…
While Edward was being interviewed …
Little Boy walked to the balcony and saw Zhang Heng, who was enjoying the night view.
"Z contacted me. He's almost done with his business in Hong Kong. When Edward finishes his interview, he can fly directly to Hong Kong and stay there until the truth is exposed. He shouldn't be in too much danger then."
"Okay." Zhang Heng nodded. "I will send him to Hong Kong."
Since this was related to the success or failure of the main mission, Zhang Heng didn't intend to be sloppy. It was necessary for him to make this trip. After all, he had already experienced so many dangers. If he failed at the last moment, he would be in big trouble.
Theoretically, Black Nest had no reason to kill Edward after Louis and the others sent the completed interview back to the newspaper via encrypted email.
However, Zhang Heng had always been cautious. Besides, the whereabouts of the woman in red were still unknown. According to Mr. Coffee, she had given up halfway.
Little Boy wanted to say something, but in the end, she just opened her mouth and said, "I wish you all the best."
"You guys too," Zhang Heng replied.
After Little Boy left, Leah came to the balcony this time.
"I've said too many words of gratitude, so I won't thank you this time," Leah said as she took out a USB drive from her pocket. Leah took out a USB flash drive from her pocket. "Here, my brother asked me to give this to you, but to be honest, I don't know what's inside."
Zhang Heng took the USB drive and raised his eyebrows.
The next moment, he heard a system prompt.
[Discovered Game Item — USB Drive (Unappraised)]
Coupled with the half katana he got from the woman in red and the bronze ring from Mr. Coffee's corpse, Zhang Heng now had two and a half game items and 300 game points from the hidden Easter egg. All in all, his gains were pretty good.
Other than that, Zhang Heng also noticed that Mr. Coffee mentioned the proxy war before he died, as well as his distinction between players.
In the Apollo quest, Zhang Heng had encountered a drug addict who could evade detection and detection without the help of any tools. Although his ability didn't have much of an effect on ordinary people, it was still a supernatural power.
In theory, it was no different from Zhang Heng's extra 24 hours. This time, Mr. Coffee's invincible state was even more obvious. He didn't need any items to support his invincible state.
This also meant that he was not the only player with the identity of an agent. When Zhang Heng first met the old man in the Tang suit, the latter warned him to be careful of other agents.
Coupled with the sporadic information that Zhang Heng had collected before, he had roughly figured out the purpose of this game, or at least the purpose of the first half.
This strange game had been going on for so long to allow existences like the old man in the Tang suit to choose their agents. Whether it was the similar existences he encountered in the game or the evaluation column behind the character panel that changed according to his performance in each round of the game, the skill level, and the game items he possessed all proved this point.
The so-called players were like goods placed on a shelf, waiting to be picked by different customers.
Zhang Heng was more concerned about what would happen next. When all the gamblers at the gambling table had picked their cards, how the game would proceed, and how the so-called proxy war would unfold.
…
Four days later, in Hong Kong, Zhang Heng received a system prompt that the main mission had been completed. It also officially confirmed that the woman in red had given up on this quest.
He spent the rest of his time strolling around Temple Street in Yau Ma Tei. He even found a demi-god outside the south wall of Tin Hau Temple to do his divination.
The demi-god was very well-dressed, with his hair tied up in a bun, long sleeves fluttering in the wind, and a pair of cloth shoes. From head to toe, he exuded an otherworldly temperament.
However, reality was cruel. It wasn't easy to make a living in any industry these days. The demi-god had been speaking Cantonese for fifty years, but in order to expand his customer base, he had to learn Mandarin as a minor.
At this moment, he was talking to Zhang Heng about his career and marriage in an authentic Hong Kong accent. However, he wasn't as calm as he appeared to be. He couldn't see any micro-expressions on Zhang Heng's face, which drove him crazy. All he could do was to deal with the situation with repetitive words. It wasn't easy for him to make it to the climax. The demi-god solemnly said that Zhang Heng might face a catastrophe in two months.
Zhang Heng smiled when he heard the demi-god's words.
Just when the demi-god thought that he could only earn a basic service fee, Zhang Heng took out his wallet from his pocket.
The demi-god suddenly sat up straight, his face full of awe. In the end, he couldn't help but add, "If you don't have enough cash, Alipay will do."
"Aren't there very few people in Hong Kong who use Alipay?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Sigh, it's the service industry. Customers come first. Mainlanders love electronic payments. Ever since Alipay was opened, the turnover of my stall has increased by half." The demi-god sighed. "I plan to open WeChat next month. By the way, do you play online games?"
"Occasionally. Why?"
"The drop rate of SSR can also be calculated … It's very cheap. Two hundred Hong Kong dollars will do."
"…"
Zhang Heng didn't open the wallet. Instead, he pushed it directly in front of the demi-god.
The demi-god hesitated. "That … I said that you will face a catastrophe in two months. You don't have to give up on yourself. Young man, listen to me. There's no obstacle in life that you can't overcome. Besides, I'm still trying to find a way to change your fate, right?"
"You misunderstood me. I just don't need this thing anymore. There's not much money left in it. On the other hand, this wallet was brought back from France. If you like it, you can keep it," Zhang Heng said.
"That's not appropriate." Although the demi-god said so, he reached out and took the wallet. At the same time, he muttered, "Is this real leather?"
However, the next moment, when he looked up again, Zhang Heng was no longer on the bench in front of him.
