I will be a boss in the future world

After making such a shameless noise all night, she almost lost control of her emotions.

"Yuying, are you okay?"

"Did I say something wrong and make you angry..."

Seeing Xiao Qi's aggrieved look, Yu Ying's heart softened. She shook her head, "No... Too many things happened today. I'm just a little tired."

"Did you have a good day at work? Why did you come home so late?"

"Who is Sha Feiran? What happened to that person just now?"

"..."

Yuying sighed heavily.

"I'm really tired, Xiaoqi, I'll tell you another day."

"..."

The virtual AI in front of him lowered his eyes, data flowing in his eyes, and "compromised" and said: "Okay, then I'll go prepare a bath for you."

"Ah."

Yuying was unaware of anything and weakly pounded his aching shoulders, groaning inwardly.

Every day, she is more exhausted than when she was a corporate slave.

Late at night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, with a thousand thoughts in my mind, making me extremely upset.

Thinking back to the "trouble" she had gotten into tonight, Yuying couldn't help but feel a headache and annoyance. She didn't know how to deal with it. No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't seem to find a perfect solution.

After careful consideration, she decided that she must go see Sha Feiran tomorrow.

This is the perfect opportunity to avoid some unnecessary troubles and conflicts, as the TOX members have not yet returned from their mission in the virtual world.

After thinking through the interests involved, Yuying felt a little relieved, but at the same time she felt a little nervous and uneasy about the upcoming meeting.

After all, faced with such a situation, no one can predict what will happen.

So she silently told herself to stay calm and rational and be prepared to deal with various possible situations.

She hoped that by communicating with Sha Feiran, she could stop Ji Jingxian from doing this. In this quiet night, she looked forward to tomorrow and prayed that everything could be resolved smoothly.

On this day, the sun was seen in the city of Anos for a rare occasion.

She rarely went out during the day before, after all, the daytime here is too short.

The sky seemed to be always covered by a thick layer of fog, which was gloomy and made people feel depressed and dull. Without the colorful neon lights, the originally bustling streets became dim and lifeless, revealing an inexplicable decadent atmosphere.

It seems that the day is just a disguise of this city, and the night is its truest appearance.

When we arrived at the agreed location, there was already a person squatting by the balcony.

Sha Feiran was seen quietly overlooking the city below, seeming to be very comfortable.

From the back, he gave people a calm and profound feeling. At this moment, he seemed to be completely immersed in his own world, oblivious to everything around him. He was humming an unknown little tune, and the song was very soft and gentle, like a breeze blowing past my ears. However, strangely, the tune sounded inexplicably sad.

Yuying rubbed her hair, walked over and sat down on the railing.

"You seem to be in a good mood?"

She looked around, and everywhere she looked were some dilapidated, slightly desolate terrace buildings. These buildings had been eroded by wind and rain, with mottled and peeling walls and rusty railings, as if silently telling the vicissitudes of time.

"Why do you want to meet in a place like this?"

Sha Feiran turned his head slightly, and smiled faintly, "It's a rare good day, don't you want to bask in the sun?"

"The nights in this city are too long, and even the days are gray."

He lamented, "It always rains, I almost forgot when was the last time I basked in the sun."

Yuying sighed and decided to get straight to the point.

"Ji Jingxian came to see me last night. Did you tell him?"

She asked bluntly, "What happened five years ago, and my home address."

Sha Feiran was slightly startled, and his expression suddenly became awkward and apologetic.

"He really went?"

He held his forehead helplessly: "I warned him not to harass you."

"I think you should first explain why he knows these things."

"Well... actually..."

Yuying said calmly, "He said you drank too much, lost the bet, and told him everything."

"Is that right?"

"..."

Sha Feiran was very embarrassed when he was questioned. He quickly tried to make excuses for himself and restore his image in Yu Ying's heart. He said sincerely, "But I didn't say which floor or room it was, really."

"..."

"Why do you have to tell him about what happened five years ago?"

Yuying frowned and continued, "I wanted to ask you last time...how do you know each other, and what is your relationship?"

Sha Feiran sighed softly and looked into the distance again.

"He was my former comrade-in-arms and a good brother. We grew up together, joined the army together, and went through life and death together."

"It was just that something happened later and he left."

"I didn't expect you to meet in the arena and even fight each other."

He scratched his head in embarrassment, his tone a little regretful, "I haven't seen him for a long time, and I accidentally drank too much that night, so I..."

"Wait a moment!"

"You said you were comrades..."

Yuying frowned and stared at the other person with sharp eyes, as if trying to see through the secret hidden in his heart through those deep eyes.

"Can you tell me who you are now?"

"..."

However, in response to her questioning, the other party remained silent and just stared at her quietly.

Yuying stared into his eyes, the doubt in her heart becoming stronger and stronger, "You were injured five years ago, it wasn't an accident, right?"

"You also said that you are not from Anos City."

The more I think about it, the more confusing things seem, and this mysterious man in front of me is undoubtedly the key clue to solving all the mysteries.

"Where are they from, and why are they looking for someone who can hack into the NPC system?"

He lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then as if he had made up his mind, he raised his eyes and met Yuying's serious gaze.

"Well, since you choose to cooperate, I should trust you first."

"I'm afraid you haven't heard of my identity..."

"After all, all the information here is controlled by the NPC system."

Yuying pursed her lips and said, "Not necessarily. Tell me first."

"Have you heard of... the organization KS?"

"KS?"

"Kill Savage, also known as the Resistance, is a civilian organization in the wasteland city of District 13 that is resisting the Imperial tycoons."

"...!!!"

Except for the twelve districts of east, west, south and north (the east district is also called the central district), District 13 is a wasteland excluded from the 12 districts of the empire. It is a place that even the lowest-level citizens are unwilling to set foot in.

"I am a member of the resistance army. I was born in the wasteland city that was expelled by the empire. We call it Kaso City."

As he spoke, Sha Feiran's eyes gradually became cold and distant, as if there was an unbridgeable gap between him and the world around him.

"People here have never heard of this city, and they don't even know it exists. They have long been addicted to the illusory prosperity and are unwilling to go out."

"The NPC consortium controls everything about them... their thoughts, information, and lives."

“Who else cares about the world outside this city?”

“Reality is gradually replaced by virtuality, and ideals are gradually eroded by desire.”

He looked up at the rare clear sky, his voice gradually becoming heavier, "This is not the world we want, at least not what the people of Casso City want."

His words contained so much information.

After digesting it for a long time, Yu Ying suppressed her surprise and raised her head calmly, asking, "What is your purpose? If you don't like the life here, why do you come to Anos?"

"To survive, of course."

"!?"

Sha Feiran retracted his gaze and explained faintly: "You also know that the NPC consortium controls most of the survival resources. The reason why Anos is so prosperous..."

"It's because they monopolize the old world and consume its remaining vitality."

"But this consumption won't last long..."

“If you avoid reality and break away from nature, your life will only continue to move towards destruction.”

"so what?"

Yuying seemed unmoved by his condemnation of the empire's selfish actions, and calmly asked, "Did you hack into the NPC system to destroy it?"

He remained noncommittal: "Rather than saying it's destruction, it's better to say..."

“I want more people to wake up and see the real world.”

"But more importantly... we still have to find a seed..."

Yuying was very confused and repeated subconsciously: "A seed?"

"right……"

“A seed that allows nature to revive and heal the world once again.”

“…I don’t quite understand.”

She felt somewhat puzzled and asked earnestly, "Is this thing you are talking about... a physical object? Or a method?"

"Since they hired us to hack into the NPC system...are they hiding in the NPC system?"

"Or is it related to the NPC consortium?"

Hearing Yuying's series of questions, Sha Feiran glanced at her with a bit of amusement and said meaningfully, "Do you really believe what I say?"

"Do you believe that there is a way to revive nature in this world?"

Yuying thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and mentioned another thing, "I remember you said..."

"When your seeds sprout, plant a flower for me."

She crossed her arms in front of her chest, raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at the interested man in front of her with interest.

"Dreams are the driving force. I am willing to believe that."

Sha Feiran laughed: "Just for a flower?"

"Can't?"

He shook his head gently and said in a very soft voice: "I hope that day will come..."

“I hope I’ll live to see that day.”

The man looked into the distance and sighed, his eyes full of hope but his tone a little desolate.

"I have already told you my identity in full. There is not a single lie."

"Did you come to me today just to ask these questions?"

"No, there's one more thing."

Yuying sighed softly and recounted what happened when he was caught a few days ago.

"Before I came to negotiate with you, I had already been implanted with a positioning chip by the ES, and Shi Yuan was also imprisoned inside, so I could only agree to join them first, and then slowly figure out a solution."

"Our cooperation afterwards... Frankly speaking, now that Shi Yuan and I have been exposed, I'm afraid I can no longer help you."

"I will ask Shi Yuan to return the commission in full once he has sorted out his own affairs."

She hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask the person in front of her for help, "Also, if what you said is true."

"Does KS have any way to evade tracking or escape capture?"

"If the place you're talking about really exists..."

"Will you take me away from here and to the city of Ksor?"

Sha Feiran listened to her in surprise, but an unexpected smile appeared on his face. He asked without thinking: "You want to go to my hometown?"

"It's called the Wasteland City. Do you know what this name means?"

Her eyes were calm and firm: "I know, but I don't care."

"I would rather rot in the ruins than live on a leash."

"Ah……"

Hearing this, Sha Feiran shook his head slightly, then smiled and looked into the distance.

"Don't rush to refuse to cooperate with me..."

"I know this special department of ES. This is a godsend opportunity."

Yuying was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "With a legitimate identity and reason, I can enter an area that ordinary people can't go to. Isn't this a good opportunity?"

"I've said it before... the NPC system is more than just an electronic network. It's likely related to the Dream Maker. The baby you found in the arena is evidence of this. There must be secrets in other places as well."

"ES has been managing the virtual world, so they must have a lot of information. If you go there, it will be like entering the human management core of the NPC system."

He tilted his head slightly, "This doesn't violate our cooperation, but is more beneficial, isn't it?"

Thinking carefully about what Sha Feiran said, it seems to make sense.

"So what you mean is that I should just go there and work honestly first?"

Sha Feiran nodded: "Yes, the plan has changed temporarily. Let's integrate into ES first."

"If necessary, I will find other people to cooperate with you."

"..."

"Others? Could it be Ji Jingxian?"

Seeing Yuying's extremely disgusted expression, Sha Feiran almost laughed out loud.

"You don't seem to have a good impression of that guy?"

Yuying smirked: "Hehe..."

"What do you think of someone who wants to fight me the first time we meet?"

"What about yesterday?"

"I wanted to beat him to death even more yesterday!"

"Haha, actually he wasn't like this before. If it wasn't for that..."

"Oh, never mind... let's not talk about it."

The sky not far away gradually darkened again, and it seemed that it was inevitable that it would rain today.

Sha Feiran glanced at the time quietly, "Anyway, don't worry... The chip in your body is easy to deal with, and I also have a way to help you escape from pursuit."

"When our plans are successful..."

"I am willing to take you away from here and go to my hometown, the city of Kexor."

After getting his promise, I finally felt a little relieved.

Yuying brushed off the dust on his pants, lowered his head to glance at his computer, and said cheerfully, "Then it's a deal. I'm leaving first."

"Ahem, that..."

Sha Feiran stood up and shook the car keys in his hand, "How did you get here? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"I'm leaving anyway, by the way."

Yuying raised her helmet and indicated, "No, I'm riding a bike."

"Oh……"

He withdrew his hand awkwardly.

"Then be careful on your way, see you next time."

"OK Bye Bye."

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly remembered something.

"correct……"

"Remember to tell your good brother, the one called Ji Jingxian."

"I'll let it go for your sake this time..."

"If he dares to come to my house and cause trouble again, I will never let him go!"

Sha Feiran suppressed his laughter and agreed: "Okay, I'll remember... I will definitely tell him."

When I walked down the building, the streets were already wet.

It seems that the daytime sunshine is too short and still cannot take away last night’s heavy rain.

Thinking about having to rush to work soon, my mood starts to get bad again.

I don’t know if Shi Yuan has dealt with his clients. I can only go find him after get off work.
