Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

Huang Tang drove his tank recklessly through the streets, but there were simply too many robot police officers.

Moreover, patrol cars were blocking every intersection!

The searchlights of the helicopters overhead were constantly following them.

"The road ahead is completely blocked!"

Chae Rim looked out through the observation window and saw that "the roads on the left and right were also completely blocked off."

Huang Tang stepped on the brakes, and the tank stopped in the middle of a pile of rubble.

He opened the system panel and his gaze fell on the [Teleport Scroll].

Using a conveyor belt to run away?

He hesitated for a moment.

After all, this futuristic city is just too rich!

The blueprints for the administrative center, the core of the energy hub, the treasure chests of the bank vault...

He was unwilling to leave in such a dejected manner!

"Let's take a gamble."

Huang Tang closed the teleport scroll and clicked on "Draw Again".

"Are you crazy?" Chae Rim's eyes widened. "You're being chased by thousands of robot police officers, and you still have the mind to draw cards?"

"I draw cards precisely because I'm being chased," Huang Tang said. "If I draw a god-tier card, I won't have to run anymore."

Chae Rim took a deep breath and understood his thoughts.

It's a bit crazy, but maybe a miracle will happen!

Before drawing the cards, Huang Tangxian waved his hand and summoned hundreds of tanks from the system space.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Tanks rained down from the sky, crashing onto the surrounding streets, houses, and intersections.

Several houses were smashed and debris flew everywhere.

The streets were completely blocked, and the robot police patrol cars were blocked outside by the tank wall and could not move.

Chae Rim looked at the densely packed tanks around her, her lips twitching.

"Others don't even have a single tank, and you're using them as roadblocks?"

"That's how arrogant we are," Huang Tang said confidently. "We can copy infinitely, we'll never run out."

They blocked the pursuers and bought some time.

Huang Tang took a deep breath, first using [Unforgettable], frantically chanting in his mind: "God Card... God Card... Conceptual God Card..."

Then click "Draw Again".

The roulette wheel spins.

Golden light shone forth.

[Congratulations on obtaining: I am an NPC!]

[Effect: Randomly acquire an NPC identity. From this moment on, you are no longer a player, but an NPC on the current map!]

[Duration: Until you leave the current map.]

[Note: Your identity will be revealed if you harm any NPCs on the current map!]

Huang Tang paused for a moment, read it carefully twice, and then smiled.

"What did you draw?" Chae Rim asked, leaning closer.

Huang Tang showed her the explanation on the card.

Chae Rim frowned: "Become an NPC? What's the use?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Huang Tang did not hesitate and immediately used the "I am an NPC" option.

A system notification sounded in my mind:

[Identity generation in progress...]

[Congratulations! You have obtained the NPC identity: First-Class Police Superintendent of a Future City!]

[Permissions: Can mobilize all police forces in the city (robot police, patrol drones, armed helicopters, etc.).]

[Note: Do not attack local NPCs, or your identity will be exposed.]

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

A first-class police superintendent? Mobilize all police forces?

Isn't that...

Have bad guys become cops?!

"Let's go out openly and honestly."

Huang Tang pulled Cai Lin out of the tank.

Chae Rim hesitated, "Are you sure nothing will happen?"

So far, the card's effect hasn't gone wrong.

Huang Tang was full of confidence.

The two men crawled out of the pile of tanks and stood on the ruins.

They were surrounded by layers upon layers of robotic police, armed with stun guns, riot shields, and laser sights, all aimed at them.

Chae Rim subconsciously moved closer to Huang Tang.

A patrol drone flew over and landed in front of Huang Tang. A red scanning light swept over him.

Huang Tang's palms were sweating, and his other hand had already touched the teleportation scroll.

The drone emitted a synthesized voice: "Reporting to the Superintendent, no suspicious persons found. Please provide instructions."

Huang Tang paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Continue the search." He adopted a leader's posture. "Report any leads to me immediately."

"yes!"

The drone turned around and flew away.

The robot police officers surrounding the perimeter immediately put away their weapons and lined up to salute.

Chae Rim's mouth dropped open.

"That's... all you need?"

"Alright." Huang Tang smugly dusted himself off. "Let's go, call a helicopter."

He waved towards the sky.

An armed helicopter immediately descended and lowered a rope ladder.

Huang Tang and Cai Lin climbed into the helicopter and sat in the back. The robot pilot turned around and asked, "Superintendent, where to?"

Huang Tang thought for a moment: "Let's go to the administrative center first."

"Yes."

The helicopter took off and flew over the robot police. On the ground, the robots that had been chasing them just minutes before were now saluting them in unison.

Chae Rim leaned back in her seat, looking at the city scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh, "You've gone from a five-star wanted criminal to a police chief all this time."

"He's a first-class police superintendent," Huang Tang corrected.

"What's the difference?"

"A superintendent is a higher-ranking officer than a police chief."

Are you sure?

"...I'm not sure. But it sounds impressive."

As the helicopter flew through the air, Huang Tang opened the world chat to check on the other players.

The world channel is bustling with activity.

Has anyone tried the "Future City" instance? The NPCs are acting like madmen, the streets are full of robot police, and they've even deployed helicopters!

[I'm in this instance too! I almost peed my pants just now, it looked like they were arresting some wanted criminal.]

Guess what I saw? Hundreds of tanks rained down from the sky! Hundreds! This world is getting crazier and crazier.

[Isn't this the instance where someone stole the energy core, bombed the bank, and killed many players yesterday? Why hasn't it been restored after the reset?]

Dude, let's get out of here. This dungeon is no place for humans.

[Retreat? I want to retreat too! The Anywhere Door is locked! I have to wait for hours!]

Huang Tang looked at these messages and a smile crept onto his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Chae Rim asked.

"Those players are complaining that the NPCs are too crazy," Huang Tang said. "They don't know that the reason the NPCs are so crazy is because of me."

"How dare you say that?"

Just then, a new message popped up.

[Ryuzaki Tsukimi: What do you bunch of cowardly Chinese know? Fortune favors the bold! I've amassed a ton of materials in this dungeon! Get out of here, all the supplies are mine!]

A selfie followed.

In the photo, Ryuzaki Tsukimi is standing at the entrance of a huge shopping mall, with three equally sleazy teammates behind her, each carrying a pile of supplies.

He raised his middle finger and captioned it:

[Ryuzaki Tsukimi: You wanted to trade my head for materials? I'm right here, come at me if you dare! A bunch of cowards who only dare to shout online!]

Huang Tang raised an eyebrow.

Is this little life just like being in a different instance?

Isn't this a coincidence?

If you don't court death, you won't die. Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish!

Huang Tang turned off the world channel and said to the pilot, "Let's not go to the administrative center for now. Let's find a place to land."

The helicopter landed on the rooftop of a building.

Huang Tang transferred command authority over all the robot police and patrol drones to himself and synchronized Ryuzaki Tsukimi's selfie with them.

"This person is an accomplice of a five-star wanted criminal." He pointed to the photo. "Based on the building in the photo, immediately locate the position and make the arrest."

"receive!"

All units responded simultaneously.

The next moment, all the robot police, patrol drones, and armed helicopters in the city sprang into action, rushing towards Ryuzaki Tsukimi's location.
