Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 364 Chapter 357: Kill All Incoming Enemies!

364  Chapter 357: Kill All Incoming Enemies!

There were naturally players like Camille Victoria who decisively deleted their files and started over.

However, even when many people deleted their files and started over, their emotions were still very unstable.

Some planned to leave Little Milkshake at home the next day, and went to the gas station alone with their weapons, intending to settle the grievances directly in the bud!

But most of them ended up in a miserable fate.

- Without any skills in their panel, one person would go against several gangsters, one of whom had a hidden gun.

If you can't win, you'll just get beaten up.

If you win, you'll be the one who takes the bullet.

Moreover, getting beaten up would directly trigger the car robbery scene, and the main missions wouldn't be possible.

Either delete the file or steal a car, and go do the "Dangerous Driving" task.

But sorry, stealing a car in Night City is much harder than in Metropolis!

Using a screwdriver as a transit card? Stop dreaming, the driver will teach you a lesson with his Glock stored in the front storage box.

Not to mention that each driver in Night City could possibly be a member of the Dark Empire under the Continental Hotel System, with completely different backing and individual combat power than in the Metropolis.

In short, falling into this situation is like entering the game directly in Hard mode.

Camille Victoria, with her self-awareness, never began with taking on multiple enemies head-on in a physical fight.

Not only it's hard to win, but it's also not elegant at all.

After quickly completing the initial tasks, she sat in the living room and started thinking about how to set up traps at home.

She even used the panel to jump onto the Internet to search for related information while also seeking help from the audience in the live broadcast room.

She searched and summarized at the same time-

"We need iron wire, row plugs, copper wire, hot oil, knives, iron nails, iron caltrops, big hammers, spears, powerful slingshots, heavy stones... and last but not least, the essential artifact-a brick."

"Well, let's see if we can find them first. If not, we'll buy them. We should have time to shop without time jumping."

Camille Victoria made a list and planned her next actions.

At the same time, she couldn't help complaining, "Why am I so poor?"

"'I' am a former legendary killer, living in a detached villa with luxurious decoration. Still, why is my wallet empty? I don't even have five hundred bucks?!"

"Helen, oh Helen, how much money did it take for me to treat you?"

On the other hand, Yi had already reached the next task location, the Car Pawnshop, with his knife.

Standing outside the shop, he touched the knife in his arms and suddenly thought of a question, "By the way, there seem to be very few gun shops in Night City, right?"

"In Metropolis, there are many gun shops, you drive a few streets, and you can always find them."

"But Night City, known as the city of crime, hasn't had any gun shops since I logged in."

"During the closed beta, I could find weapons only through the system of the Continental Hotel."

Yi was puzzled, "Is it the restriction of the Continental Hotel? Or the restriction of the arms smugglers?"

After thinking for a moment, he couldn't find the answer, so he shook his head and walked into the repair shop from the main entrance.

"Whatever, no guns, no guns."

"Even if I only have a pencil in my hand, I'll still stab these bastards to death!"

Entering the workspace, the workers were busy fixing the cars, and their tools made a harsh noise, their attention hardly ever set on him.

Yi ignored them and followed the cursor's direction into the depths.

Until he saw the car shop boss, dressed in a neat suit, sitting in front of a car, drinking by himself. As Yi's gaze fell on him, the boss's head tilted, and his name appeared naturally-[Aurelio].

He wasn't just drinking; there was an extra glass on the car hood, apparently waiting for someone.

Yi wasn't intimidated and sat down on the chair prepared by the boss, asking bluntly, "Is my car here?"

With a serious look, the boss took the initiative to pour him a glass of alcohol and pushed the glass forward.

But Yi had no interest in drinking.

Seeing this, the boss looked slightly nervous, took a sip of his own drink, looked at Yi's expression, and then answered, "It was here before."

"Iosef Tarasov stole it, and he wanted to make a set of IDs here." The boss paused for a moment, "I punched him and kicked him out."

As soon as the boss's words fell, the task prompt flickered, and the text jumped in front of Yi's eyes, automatically combining into information:

"Iosef Tarasov: Son of Viggo Tarasov."

"Viggo Tarasov: Leader of the Night City organization 'Tarasov Gang'. After hiring John Wick to kill his competitors, the 'Tarasov Gang' became the largest gang organization in Night City in one fell swoop. Holding the handle of many powerful people, he used this to cover the whole Night City with power."

"Viggo?" Yi looked at the information and was speechless.

So this guy is the second-generation thug I helped raise?

"Yes, what are you going to do?" The boss didn't say much, as if in his concept, everyone was very familiar with each other, and a mention of a name was enough.

Yi realized this and noticed that the boss seemed a little scared of him.

As for what to do?

Of course, kill those people who killed my dog!

Even if his father holds power in both the black and white of Night City and has overwhelming authority, it won't save him!

But obviously, this boss Aurelio couldn't help with such a big matter, and he still had to do it himself.

However, he clearly couldn't take the bus to get his revenge…

So he looked at the cars around him and tried to say, "I need a car."

- But I have no money.

But the boss Aurelio didn't mention anything about money and directly handed him a car key.

Yi was a bit surprised-are we really that close?

But Yi had a thick face, and there was no reason not to eat the meat that was sent to his mouth!

Worried that the boss might change his mind, he stated that he would drive away without wasting a minute.

As the car drove out of the gate, the boss didn't stop him to ask for money, and Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But he wasn't sure if it was an illusion or not; in the rearview mirror, he saw the boss, who had escorted him to the door, also seem to breathe a sigh of relief?!

But it didn't matter anymore!

Yi sped towards home, after all, the car he was driving was free, and it wasn't his precious antique car, so it didn't matter if it got wrecked!

And looking at the latest task name, it seemed like he wouldn't be out of money in the future—

Task Name: "Guns and Gold"

Task Objective: Go to the basement and retrieve the weapon storage box.

Guns, gold, and weapon storage box, whichever term it was, to Yi, they all meant revenue sources.

It was merely the difference between "having money" and "robbing money by force."

Rushing home, only experiencing four minor collisions along the way, Yi was satisfied with his driving skills.

After getting home, he didn't hesitate to head straight for the basement.

At first, he was confused: He had searched the basement before leaving and didn't find any weapons, yet the task instructed him to come to the basement to collect the weapon storage box.

It wasn't until he followed the guide to the basement and saw that the weapon storage box was actually buried beneath the concrete floor that he realized how deeply hidden it was!

No doubt, time to break it!

He lifted the hammer and struck the floor with fierce blows, gradually cracking and breaking the concrete.

During this process, Yi once again realized how strong John Wick's resolve was when he retired and got married, never to touch the dark world again!

But now, it was inevitable to return to the darkness.

Back to that world intertwined with blood and fire, money, and sin!

"Duang!"

With the final strike, the last piece of concrete shattered!

Yi scraped away the obstacle of broken concrete and revealed a huge weapon storage box.

Upon opening the box, on the right side were stacks of bright assassin's gold, while on the left were cold, dark pistols, silencers, daggers, shock bombs, and spare magazines.

Yi reached for a gun, a familiar feeling surging in his heart.

"Click," "Click," he skillfully loaded the magazine and chambered a round.

With a gun in hand, even if it was just Level 1 shooting skills, Yi's confidence continued to emerge.

"Good, now it's time to—take revenge and settle grievances!"

Securing the gun at his waist, Yi checked the assassin's gold neatly stacked in the box.

After quickly estimating the amount, he was astonished to find that the number of assassin gold coins in the box was exactly the same as the number in his "Assassins' Alliance" account!

Was it a coincidence?

Or was it that… even though the games are different, under the Continental Hotel System, the number of assassins' gold coins for players is unified?

"Ding ling ling~~ Ding ling ling~~"

As Yi was lost in thought, the old-fashioned telephone landline in the basement suddenly rang.

He picked it up, puzzled, and a man's voice came from the other end, "Hello, John."

"Who's this?" Yi asked casually.

Seeming a bit surprised by his question, the other side still answered, "Viggo."

Yi blinked. He had just dug out his weapons, preparing to kill your son, and now you call? What for?

Reminiscing?

On the phone, Viggo attempted some emotional communication, "I heard about your wife's situation, I'm sorry, I hope you'll find solace."

"It could be fate, coincidence, or just damn bad luck that brings us together once more."

Yi was starting to get the gist of his intention: to persuade him to back down.

But how could he?

Your idiot son beat my dog to death for the sake of stealing my car—right in front of me!

Can I let him live?

In front of hundreds of thousands, nearly a million viewers, I swore to kill your son! I won't stop until he's dead!

However, feeling like he didn't have much of a grudge with his "former employer" Viggo, and too lazy to lash out, Yi remained silent.

Yi's silence made Viggo a little uneasy, "John?"

Another moment of silence.

Finally, Viggo revealed some anxious emotions, "We shouldn't act rashly! Let's handle this in a civilized manner…"

Hearing this, Yi couldn't help but interrupt abruptly, "Fuck you! I want to be impulsive! I want to be uncivilized! If you don't like it, come and challenge me, whoever backs down is a grandson!"

Viggo was dumbfounded for a moment and hung up the phone.

Swearing after all that, Yi felt refreshed, even wanting to call back to curse a few more times.

Although it might drop the "legendary killer" style, it was—

So satisfying!

The phone call ended, and the task progress was updated again, even more straightforward and brutal than ever—

Task Name: "Night of Slaughter"

Task Support: [Shooting Mastery: Lv.7], [Combat Sense Lv.5], [Gunfighting Technique Lv.5] temporarily unlocked!

Task Objective: Kill all enemies!

After reading the task content, with itching hands, Yi had only one thing to say—

"Come and meet your death!"
