Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch C.340 - 336: Are There Really Unregulated Night Clubs?

Chapter 340: Chapter 336: Are There Really Unregulated Night Clubs?

As the gunshots in the house became more sparse, the battle was drawing to a close.

Super Tomato outside blinked, opened the panel, and checked again.

There was still no change on the panel.

He looked around the surrounding environment again.

No one popped out, and nothing happened – not even a single onlooker.

Finally, he accepted it: “Well, there’s no task, no hint, and no indication of what to do next.”

Super Tomato summarized.

However, after summarizing, he wasn’t confused but decisively threw away the gun in his hand.

“I’ll give it a try and see if I can turn enemies into friends.”

He said and walked towards the house where the gunfire had subsided.

“Is this how people would think?”

“You’re really something, Super Tomato! You can always come up with something fun!”

Unfortunately, the audience’s exclamations in the comments couldn’t change the game rules designed by Lincoln.

Rather than allowing John Wick to be exposed or allowing the players to disarm easily, he’d prefer to play it tough and not change things easily.

No matter the purpose, if you dare to go in, you will die!

“Hello there!” Super Tomato raised his hands and approached the house.

But just as he finished greeting and before he could say the second sentence, “Bang!”

Super Tomato fell to the ground as expected, joining Yi and most of the closed beta players in their fate.

The reason it’s just the majority is that some players did actually leave here alive.

Like Super Tomato, those who realized that this wasn’t a guided mission, some slipped away without a fight when they noticed things were going south.

That’s what Camille Victoria did.

She didn’t know the whole story or reason but was told to follow a group of sinister-looking, black-clothed people to attack someone else’s house?

“No offense, but I’m one of the good guys, a partner of justice! I can’t do this kind of thing!”

“The reason I didn’t shoot you guys with a Black Gun is that I didn’t know what exactly happened here. Otherwise, I would’ve made you taste what it’s like to be attacked from both front and rear!”

After saying that, Camille Victoria left, stopped a taxi, and said, “Driver, to the biggest casino in Night City! Hurry up! I’m in a rush!”

Camille Victoria didn’t shoot anyone’s Black Gun, but after all, players could come up with the same ideas and actions.

Unfortunately, with a Level 1 skill on the initial panel, their combat power was really not enough to pose a threat.

Even sneak attacks from behind could at most take down two before being counterattacked and killed, leading to respawning.

Fortunately, the respawn point was set by Lincoln where two bustling main roads intersect, right in front of the Continental Hotel in Night City.

This spared the players from having to travel from the outskirts to the bustling commercial area.

If any player wanted to level up, they could go in and get a task.

Of course, the difficulty of the tasks here is not low. Relying on Level 1 firearms specialization, completing tasks is not easy.

But in the absence of tasks, while some players feel free, many players are a bit lost.

At this point, when they see familiar things, they would instinctively go in and take tasks according to the daily routine of “Assassins’ Alliance.”

The most popular tasks, of course, are those that target the gangs that bring bad luck.

— Fred added a bunch of big and small gangs for the players to have fun.

As for the difficulty of the tasks?

What does it matter if you die a few times? Die enough, and you’ll get used to it.

And if that doesn’t work, can’t they just team up with others?

At this point, most of the closed beta players finally returned to their familiar rhythm, starting to get to know this strange city bit by bit through tasks.

Of course, there are still many players who don’t go the usual route.

After being resurrected, Super Tomato just glanced at the Continental Hotel, pulled out his wallet, and turned to hail a taxi.

“Driver, to the biggest casino in Night City! Hurry up, I’m in a rush!”

Having respawned earlier than Super Tomato, Yi had already gotten into a taxi and was on his way to his destination.

But he wasn’t going to a casino. He said to the driver:

“Driver, to the most unregulated nightclub in Night City! Hurry up, I’m in a rush!”

The driver hesitated but didn’t ask any further, just pressed the accelerator, and started driving without any further questions.

The driver’s reaction confused Yi: Is there really an unregulated nightclub?

Isn’t this a 17+ game?

He instinctively put his hand on his waistband, ready to try to pull it down.

But then he suddenly realized he was still streaming live!

“Everyone, wait a sec. I need to confirm something.”

Yi said and temporarily blocked the live stream’s screen. He quickly began to undo his belt to verify whether it was possible to take off his pants in the game.

The fans in the live broadcast room who were staring at the black screen, hearing the rustling sound in the headphones, and the action Yi took before the screen went black all knew what their anchor was up to! 𝒻𝓇ℯ𝘦𝘸𝑒𝑏𝓃𝑜𝓿𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓶

“Why be shy with your bros?!”

“You keep doing this, and I’m gonna get mad! We’re all family, so why be so secretive?”

“Listen to me! Show us!”

“I bet it’s too small, and he’s embarrassed.”

Yi didn’t have time to pay attention to the comments in the live broadcast room. He slightly raised his buttocks and yanked his pants down!

Revealing his blue underwear.

“Is that really possible?” Yi looked shocked and confused.

Keep in mind that in “Assassins’ Alliance,” the only thing that can be taken off is the coat, and the rest can only be changed with one click.

Want to manually take off your pants and reveal your underwear?

No such thing!

Unbelievable! The game’s rating only increased from[16+] to [17+], but there’s such a big change!

Looking at his own underwear, Yi figured he might as well go all the way and tried to take them off too.

“Hey! Hey! Hey! What are you doing?!” The taxi driver saw Yi’s actions through the rearview mirror and stopped him in shock.

“You said you wanted to go to an unsavory nightclub, and you’re in a hurry. I can understand that. But you don’t need to strip naked in the car, do you?! Are you really that desperate?”

“Uh…” Yi abruptly froze with his hand aimed at his underwear.

His excitement had made him forget about the presence of the NPC.

Even though he knew it was fake and just data, faced with a vivid, unkempt middle-aged man, he couldn’t bring himself to take off his underwear on the spot…

Seeing that Yi didn’t respond, the taxi driver quickly added, “If you dirty the car, you’ll have to pay extra!”

“Huh???” Yi’s mouth dropped open. What did he mean by dirtying the car??

Do the taxi drivers in Night City all have such heavy tastes?

What kind of passengers do they usually pick up?

Yi hurriedly pulled up his pants, fastened his belt, and sat back down properly.

There was no need to explain. What was there to explain to an NPC? Once he got out of the car, who would remember who anyway?

Not to mention, this was a closed beta. In two days, all the data would be wiped clean, and everything would disappear.

He then restored the live streaming screen.

But before he could tell everyone the big news about the “Pants-Off Party,” he saw the live streaming comments had gone off track:

“Shocking! A famous anchor is stripping naked on a taxi, baring it all for everyone!”

“Desire erupts during live streaming, actually making indecent advances towards a middle-aged male driver, turning off the broadcast to reward himself!”

“Yi X Night Shift Taxi Driver: An untold story!”

“”Stripping Naked”, “Dirtying the Taxi””

Yi stared at the tone of the live stream with a stiff expression, and couldn’t help but slap his forehead.

He felt that his dark history had thickened by a few more pages.

Still, thinking about his discovery, he couldn’t suppress the excitement and was eager to try the final step! He had to find an opportunity to test it!

And then, considering that the taxi driver really knew the location of the “unlawful” nightclubs in Night City and said stripping clothes in the car was “in a hurry.”

Wouldn’t that imply that – once he entered an unsavory nightclub, stripping naked there wouldn’t be seen as hurried anymore?

This was a big deal!

Cloud Dream! Lincoln! Well done!!

However, even though Yi was always involved in daring escapades, there was a clear line between “having fun” and “actually doing” them.

Once he crossed that line, he might lose everything in an instant and bid farewell to his professional career.

So when he realized that Cloud Dream might have really made such a huge change, he didn’t excitedly share it with his fans in the live stream room.

But everyone was quick-witted enough; after teasing him about the black screen, they soon figured it out.

“Taking off clothes,” “Unsavory nightclub”…

After understanding the situation, their imaginations ran wild!

Meanwhile, Super Tomato also arrived at his destination – [Paradise Hotel].

Although it was called a hotel, according to the driver’s introduction, it housed the largest, most luxurious, and most populated casino in Night City.

People who became wealthy overnight or lost their entire fortune in a single night appeared every week.

According to the driver, someone once turned a single rewarded chip into a billion-dollar fortune overnight.

But there were also those who gambled for ten days straight, losing their entire wealth of over 2 billion.

In the end, they climbed the building opposite the casino and jumped off.

Super Tomato asked, “Why did they go to the building across from the casino to jump? Why not jump directly in the casino?”

“Hehe.” The driver answered with a mocking smile: “The rooftop of the casino is off-limits to the gamblers. It’s been locked for ten years and is always guarded to prevent people like them.”

“I see, they left the casino, climbed more than ten floors, and still couldn’t calm down. They must have been truly desperate, right? How pitiful.”

“No.” The driver shook his head: “Gamblers don’t deserve pity! At most, their families are a little pitiful.”

Among the barrage of “”Awakening”” comments, Super Tomato paid the fare and entered [Paradise Hotel].

More precisely, he entered [Paradise Casino]!

Gamble and win a fortune to enjoy a heavenly life.

Or lose everything and simply take a one-way ticket to heaven!

“Whether you win or lose, you can experience the beauty of heaven. What a clever name!”

Entering the casino, Super Tomato exchanged all the money in his wallet for chips – an embarrassingly small amount, less than 10 chips.

Super Tomato officially embarked on his “Gambling King” journey.

However, as soon as he walked into the lobby, he caught sight of a familiar figure!

Camille Victoria was standing confidently at a gambling table, relying on the [Advanced Extreme Handheld Sports] skill that came with her first-generation console limited commemorative badge. A few chips were flipping up and down in her hands, dazzling the surrounding gamblers.

— This was the first and only skill that could be used across multiple games. Some people had even used this skill to perform one-handed chair spins in the world of “Light Encounter.”

Camille Victoria’s composure and style were truly impressive!

“What’s going on?” Super Tomato was taken aback.

“I don’t remember forming a team, did I?”
