Chapter 337: New Job
Translator: Noodletown Translations Editor: Noodletown Translations
For the jobs at the earlier stage, Mr. Fang didn’t have to play the offline mode. However, the Fleeca Bank Job was more like a tutorial job and was quite easy. In the following jobs, the players needed to operate all kinds of tools, including piloting planes and helicopters frequently on top of cars, and he had to master all kinds of skills.
So, even Mr. Fang had to go to the offline mode to obtain the knowledge and skills.
For example, in the Prison Break and the Humane Lab Raid, the players had to fly the Hydra VTOL Jet and the Valkyrie Helicopter, which required the players to be able to drive or all kinds of machines on the road or in the air.
By now, Mr. Fang could only drive cars, and he needed practice before he could operate other machines.
Of course, there were other ways to make money in the online mode. If they were interested, they could even speculate in the stock market, purchase properties, and hold illegal racing compet.i.tions, etc.
Speculation in the stock market not only was related to the players’ economic statuses, the economic activities of the players will also affect the ups and downs of the stock prices.
In terms of purchasing properties, the players could be a landlord and earn rent, or they could buy a deserted factory or airplane hangar to be arms dealers. They could do whatever they wanted with their properties.
In fact, in the system remake version of the game, the players had more freedom than they could ever imagine. For example, they could buy a shop and do some legal business, and they could even shoot movies and become movie stars.
For example, Michael, one of the three main characters in the game, was a producer in a movie.
Of course, they had to have enough funds to do these things and must make sure that they wouldn’t lose all their money in the process.
Only the special jobs that Mr. Fang was doing were the most stable.
After all, one could start again after death in the game, but one couldn’t get back their money after they lost it.
To make sure that he could fly in the air in the online mode, Mr. Fang began his journey in the offline mode.
The three characters in the offline mode each had their own dramatic personality.
It was a story of three guys and one dog. There was the sensitive and loyal Trevor, who had escaped from the incident nine years ago, Michael, who was trapped in a midlife crisis, and Franklin, who was sent to do minor missions such as stealing cars and taking back collateral on defaulted loans but wanted to make something of himself; Franklin always took a Rottweiler with him.
When the three dramatic figures came together, it was clear that dramatic things would happen.
For example, when Franklin went to Michael’s home to confiscate the car from Michael’s son, he stumbled onto the affair between Michael’s wife and her tennis coach.
That was the dramatic meeting between the old fox Michael and the dramatic Franklin.
After knowing about the affair, the furious Michael destroyed a mansion belonging to a leader of a gang by mistake.
Then, in order to stop his daughter from doing indecent stuff, he broke onto a luxurious yacht all by himself.
Afterwards, it was the reconciliation of Trevor and Michael.
These strange things happened to these dramatic figures, and they provided the players with very special perspectives to see the world.
While Mr. Fang was doing these missions and jobs, the number of players of this game grew gradually, including the fans of Counter Strike and Resident Evil, let alone the artifact masters such as Li Haoran and Jun Yangzi who had begun researching guns.
Since the difference in level wasn’t a big factor in this game, many Legend of Mir 2 players would come and play it occasionally.
Every woman loved to be beautiful. After making some money, most of the female players spent the money on dressing themselves instead of activating more missions.
For example, Su Tianji had not only bought a submachine gun but purchased several outfits as well.
Fang Qi felt like it was inevitable for these players to buy one or two sets of designer outfits if they had enough money.
However, they preferred long-sleeved blouses and long skirts even when they chose from the modern attires.
“Master! Look at the clothes in this shop! Which one is prettier?” It was easy to spend money that they got from robbery. Right now, Su Tianji was doing shopping with her two disciples.
For people like Liu Ningyun, after earning some money with great effort, she liked driving her first car to enjoy the seaside views in a long green floral skirt, a white blouse, and a pair of big sungla.s.ses.
In the game, it was enjoyable to drive around and see the sights of this gaming world that didn’t exist in their real world in between jobs and missions. In fact, they purely enjoy the views and relax in the game.
Sometimes, she would race with Mo Xian and her other junior and senior sisters in the faction. It was also another way of playing the game.
They lived one kind of life in the real world and a totally different one in the game, which was quite fresh and fun for them.
More importantly, the characters in the game could increase their attributes such as strength, stamina, and skills in driving and flying, which would reflect on the players.
Although the increases in the strength of their mortal characters were little in the eyes of the cultivators, they were better than nothing, especially the increase in their physique strength and proficiencies of the skills, such as flying.
The Xichi Spiritual Master wanted to have a deeper understanding of everything, especially after she heard that the cultivators of Wuwei Daoist Alliance had begun to study these things and even gained some results in the combinations of metal machines and runes and arrays.
If not for the trouble in the faction, she would have pulled some grandmasters of the Nanhua Faction to play the game.
While the girls were shopping and sightseeing and the male cultivators were studying the weapons, Mr. Fang had bought a Kuruma from a car dealer.
By now, he could drive all kinds of machines. “Is there anyone who wants to do a new job?”
“New job?”
“What’s that?!”
After all, many players in the two shops were still struggling with the Fleeca Bank Job and thus were surprised to hear the shop owner yell that he was going to do a new job.
Liu Ningyun probably wanted to buy a race car, so she had to make more money when she could.
In fact, she had reached the condition of doing a new job. “I received a new job and have activated it with my master and senior and junior sisters. You can find another person to do it with you.”
Today, she was sitting near Mr. Fang, and she took his invitation lightly.
“The four of you are going to do the new job?”
“Yeah!” Liu Ningyun said casually, “We’re all old drivers now and can do the Fleeca Bank Job with ease. Is there any problem with that?”
It must be noted that the Fleeca Bank Job was Lester’s tutorial job for beginners, which was why it was so easy to do.
Mr. Fang asked tentatively, “How about starting again?”
“Why? We’re almost there.” Liu Ningyun glared at Mr. Fang. “Do you think we can’t do it?”
Mr. Fang shrugged since he saw their mission already – the Velum Heist.
There was a plane which could accommodate five people. Obviously, the plane couldn’t be carried with a car. Without a doubt, their mission was flying this plane to another place.
