Chapter 332: Playing Robin Hood
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
In the online mode of GTA 5, the players earned money and leveled up through all kinds of missions and jobs.
Right, the characters in GTA 5 had levels. Usually, with higher levels, the players could have more money, better privileges, and more weapons. After all, the GTA 5 remake created by the System didn’t allow players to have multiple accounts.
The jobs could be the basic jobs the game created or the jobs that the players created themselves.
Right now, Mr. Fang was doing one of the jobs – a car race.
Soon, Mr. Fang raced to the finis.h.i.+ng line before the black guy. Since he had made a bet with the black guy before the race, he earned more than 1,000 dollars and over 1,000 experience points. Obviously, Mr. Fang’s result in the race was quite good, and he quickly leveled up to level 2.
At the same time, Mr. Fang’s cultivation strength also increased with his level, even though the process was a bit slower than playing the Legend of Mir 2 when he was focusing on killing monsters and wasn’t distracted by malicious attacks of other players.
“You just leveled up like this?” Ruan Ning blinked in surprise since in the Legend of Mir 2, the players only leveled up by killing monsters.
“You can also level up by killing police officers,” Mr. Fang said. “If you’re not afraid of being killed, that is.”
Remembering the scene where many police cars surrounded her after she killed people in that car crash, Ruan Ning was a little afraid. She asked, “I don’t know how to drive; what can I do?”
Obviously, other people also had this problem.
“Go and play offline mode.” Mr. Fang rolled his eyes at her and said. “Anyway, the characters you control all know how to drive a car.”
“No!” Liu Ningyun didn’t agree. “I think I can find other ways. After all, we can’t die in this game, and we can practice our driving skills in it.”
“Sir, what’re you doing?!” Ruan Ning suddenly yelled in alarm when she saw Mr. Fang stopping his car before a store.
Then, he jumped off and walked in before pointing the gun at a shop clerk.
While s.h.i.+vering in fear, the shop clerk took out money from the cash register.
“Huh?” All the people watching from behind looked at each other in bafflement.
“I’m robbing the rich and giving it to the poor,” Mr. Fang said casually, “In this city, there are many rich but heartless people, and I must take each opportunity to rob from them and give it to the poor.”
“Is this shop rich and heartless?” The Xichi Spiritual Master looked at the screen in confusion, feeling like something was not right.
“Sir, why are you wearing a mask?”
They saw Mr. Fang putting some money in his pocket before walking out the door with the bag of money that the clerk handed to him and getting back into his car.
Then, they watched as Mr. Fang deposited the money into his own bank account.
Although they didn’t know about modern banks, there were similar businesses in their world where they could store money.
“Sir, didn’t you say that you are helping the poor?!” Liu Ningyun immediately realized that something was wrong.
Mr. Fang explained, “I only have a few thousand dollars on me, so I’m a poor guy. Do you see anyone poorer than me on the way here?”
All the people fell silent since they found his argument to be indisputable!
At this moment, they saw that Mr. Fang leveled up again.
“Sir!” Liu Ningyun had a bad feeling. “Do the players have to level up by robbing others?!”
“Of course not,” Fang Qi said. “In this world, people can live another life. You can choose to be a good person or a bad one, and you can choose to do whatever you want or discipline yourself and others. It’s your own choice.
“Even if you are a grand philanthropist in the real world, you can try to be an extremely evil person and live a life of luxury and l.u.s.t,” Fang Qi explained, “When the game ends, you will still be you in the real world, and everything in the game will just be like a dream.”
“You won’t obtain any credit if you play a good person, and you won’t be punished even if you do evil deeds,” Ning Bi stared at the screen and said. “I’m surprised that Grand Theft Auto 5 is such a game!”
“Does it mean that I can do anything I want in the game?” Black Demon looked eager to try the game.
“As long as you are not afraid of being killed,” Mr. Fang said in earnest.
He had just tried the game and found that the virtual reality version of GTA 5 was much more difficult than the original version. Although the difficulty of the game didn’t increase on purpose, everything was more realistic, and that posed more challenges.
For example, in the original game, the players could run swiftly with grenade launchers, sniper rifles, and other guns.
But in the virtual reality version, the players didn’t have spatial storage items, so bringing weapons and ammunition presented a problem.
Another change was that the players’ vitalities in the remake version of the game was more fragile than in the original version. In the virtual reality mode, the players wouldn’t remain alive after taking several shots to the chest.
Besides, the pedestrians in the remake version had the intelligence of the normal people, and the whole game was quite similar to a real modern world, which meant that players would encounter more difficulties and restrictions compared to the original version.
On the other hand, the players could experience anything that a city could offer in this remake version while the original version provided a limited range of options for players.
In this game, the players would live like real modern people!
Mr. Fang drove back to the place where the game started. “If you’re interested, you can race with other players, do other jobs. After all, the methods of making money in the beginner’s guide are easy and quick. Of course, if you can’t even do these things, I’m afraid that you can’t continue the game since the later missions are much more difficult.”
“I still don’t want to play the offline mode…” Liu Ningyun frowned.
“You think too much!” Ning Bi found a seat and sat down. “It’s good to have an opportunity to experience another person’s life!”
“You outside cultivators have too many burdens on your mind,” Black Demon said with a snicker. “I’m interested in this game.”
“Ugh…” Mr. Fang said awkwardly, “Come on, it’s just a game. There aren’t many problems.”
Indeed, just as Fang Qi said, it was just a game. Some people were hesitant at first but eventually entered the game as well.
Since they were still not familiar with the control of the game, they began with the offline mode.
However, in Jiuhua City, the people had a different response to this game.
[Sir, the guns in this shop are expensive. Where do we earn money?] Song Qingfeng sent him a message.
[There are so many new weapons in this game?] Li Haoran immediately sent a message to Mr. Fang on QQ. [Sir, tell me how to earn some quick money.]
Su Tianji: [Sir, I want to buy guns! Tell me how to make money!]
[You guys all know how to use guns, right?]
[Of course! We’ve played Counter Strike and Resident Evil for a long time.]
[Then, come, come, come! Come and do some missions with me. I, an old driver, will take you to rob from the rich and give it to the poor.]
