I'm in the Ark, a player.

Summary:

"Defend the Mule Museum" campaign launched! I am a five-star good citizen of Longmen!

Qin Tianling accidentally downloaded a fully immersive game called "Defend Mulebo" and became the only player in Arknights.

Chen Huijie: No, that's not how it works! You should talk to me first, then give me gifts to increase my favorability. Finally, after resolving a certain special event, you can unlock my special CG! That's not how you play the game! I disagree! I disagree! I'm going to drag you, you lecher, back to the Guard Bureau!!!

Lin Yuxia: Why do you keep interrupting me and saying things like "skip, skip"? Hey! You skip my confession?! Why don't you skip your own life?!

Zofia: Qin Tianling is far beyond my imagination as a competitive knight. The straight sword in his hand that can be canceled repeatedly seems to have canceled his morality as well.

Kal'tsit: Qin Tianling, don't dress my mon3ter in a maid outfit!

[The auxiliary interaction function has been updated and launched.]

The next moment, Qin Tianling saw five options appear in front of Chen Huijie:

【dialogue】

[Gift Giving]

[O offender]

【kill】

【goodbye】

Looking at these interactive options, Qin Tianling silently saved the game.

Volume One

Chapter 1, How could anyone not want to play in the corner?

"The End of the World: Prequel - Defend Mubo... When did I buy this game? I have absolutely no recollection of it?"

Inside the rented room, the man sitting in front of the computer looked at the game in the game library with some confusion.

His name is Qin Tianling, male, 24 years old, and a college student.

Qin Tianling, a college student, had just finished his thesis in the past few days and now finally had some free time to clean up the pile of games.

Looking at all those adorable animal-eared girls on the game cover, Qin Tianling felt a little tempted.

—Because it looks a bit like a corner of wood,

If it really is this kind of game, as a master in the field of wood, I will definitely examine it carefully with a critical eye!

Although there are always people online who look down on this type of game and the players who play it,

But it's one thing to talk about it online normally.

There really are games where you can have a sweet romance with anime girls, snuggle up together, and even get a back massage at the end...

Who wouldn't want to play?

"Taste it first, and if it's not fun, I'll give you a refund."

Click to download.

The progress bar filled up at an incredible speed, and the entire game downloaded in just over ten seconds.

"Is my internet speed really that fast? Or is the game just too small?"

Qin Tianling found it a little strange, but his curiosity about the game's content quickly overshadowed this slight doubt.

He quickly lay down on the bed, connected the gaming headset to the computer, put it on, started the game, and his vision went dark.

silence,

Then the scene before him began to change. First, a slightly futuristic stream of light emerged from the darkness. Then, a pure white light burst forth from the center, instantly engulfing all the stream of light and his entire field of vision.

Then, the tide of light receded.

A sudden cacophony of sounds assaulted my ears—car horns, indistinct music from distant shops, and the chatter of a crowd.

Qin Tianling found himself standing on the side of a wide street, the afternoon sun reflecting off the glass curtain walls of tall buildings and casting dappled light on the ground.

He lowered his head, raised his hand, spread his fingers, and rotated them back and forth. The texture of his skin, the luster of his nails, and even the fine hairs on the back of his hand were clearly visible. He squatted down and touched the floor. The rough texture of the stone slab felt just like the real thing.

"Holy crap, the picture quality is so realistic! The feedback is so lifelike!"

Qin Tianling couldn't help but swear.

If it weren't for things like health and stamina bars, it would be impossible to distinguish between the game and reality.

However, after the initial shock subsided, regret followed.

Damn it! I've been tricked! It wasn't Ga La Ge Mu after all!

Where is my kemonomimi (animal-eared girl)?

Qin Tianling scanned the pedestrians on the street, observing the animal features on their bodies.

It seems like all the NPCs here have animal ears, so in a sense there are indeed animal-eared girls here... Holy crap, how come there's even a Sao Furi?

Qin Tianling inadvertently caught a glimpse of an old rat, whose appearance had completely deviated from that of a beast-eared human and was now more like an animal, strolling by. He couldn't help but find something odd about it.

After all, not everyone who likes animal-eared girls will like Furui girls.

So people who like kemonomimi (animal-eared girls) aren't necessarily Fury fans!

In short, this game is a bit different from what I imagined, but since the quality is so good, I'll still give it a try...

So, what exactly is he going to do now?

Is there no tutorial for beginners?

Where's the beginner's guide?

It seems there is no such thing, and Qin Tianling is also certain that he did not select "skip the tutorial".

Open the task list; it's empty.

Open the map; there are no flashing markers on it.

If there's nothing there, then what is he supposed to do in the game?

"A high degree of freedom and a highly immersive experience doesn't mean there aren't even the most basic instructions, right?"

Qin Tianling looked around blankly, his gaze sweeping aimlessly over the endless sea of ​​cars, hurried pedestrians, and dazzling shop signs. Then, his gaze moved beyond the traffic and landed on a motorcycle waiting at a traffic light.

It was a sleek, sportbike with a gleaming black finish, accented with a few blue stripes, and riding on it was a girl in a blue shirt and black pants... a dragon girl?

The other person was wearing a helmet, so Qin Tianling couldn't tell if it was really them.

But that's not important.

The important thing is that Qin Tianling roughly guessed how the game was played!

Urban setting, high degree of freedom, and all sorts of cool vehicles—how else can you play this?

Without much hesitation, Qin Tianling jogged towards the cool motorcycle.

He went up to the motorcycle, reached out, and pulled the dragon girl off the motorcycle to the ground.

Throughout the entire process, Long Niang offered no resistance, or perhaps she was unable to resist, and simply allowed Qin Tianling to do as he pleased.

Damn it, how else can you play this kind of game with such a high degree of freedom, besides the most classic gameplay?

If you see a cool motorcycle, grab it first!

No, what robbery!

How can you call it stealing what's your own?

That wretched dragon girl has taken over her own motorcycle!

While the fallen dragon girl was still getting up, Qin Tianling had already gotten on his motorcycle.

"boom!"

With a twist of the accelerator, the engine roared violently, and the front of the car suddenly lifted up under Qin Tianling's rough handling!

The next moment, the black and blue sportbike started moving forward!

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of two small white stars suddenly appearing in the upper right corner of his field of vision.

"Holy crap, how did I get two police stars just for stealing a car!?"

Did I steal a police car or was I seen by the police?

"Why is there a sound behind me?"

Hearing a faint sound behind him, Qin Tianling subconsciously turned his head and glanced back.

Then he saw it.

The blue-haired dragon girl he had dragged off the motorcycle was now running at an incredibly high speed, following right behind his motorcycle!

Wait, what kind of superhuman physique does this NPC have? How can they even catch up?

"Car thief!"

The blue-haired dragon girl roared at Qin Tianling,

This look, as if he were about to snatch someone's mother away, frightened Qin Tianling so much that he hurriedly waved his hands.

"I don't work as a motorcycle taxi driver. If you need a motorcycle taxi, don't come to me!"

Chapter 2, it's not some backwater, it's GTA!?

This is Longmen, a mobile city-state of the Yan Kingdom, and also an important commercial and cultural center.

Chen Huijie was in a fairly good mood today. As a member of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, she happened to be on vacation. She was riding her black and blue sportbike through the familiar streets and alleys.

The red light is on.

She braced herself on one foot, stopping her motorcycle in front of the zebra crossing, her thoughts drifting.

suddenly!

A figure suddenly rushed from the side, grabbed Chen Huijie's hand, and tried to pull her out of the car!

Robbery...no, carjacking?

How could a criminal be so blind as to set his sights on him?

The first thought that popped into Chen Huijie's mind was...

But the next second, Chen Huijie was completely stunned; she was dragged out of the car by this man!

What's going on?! ???

It's important to know that Chen Huijie is definitely a formidable fighter; normally, she would have been able to launch an effective counterattack and subdue her opponent in an instant.

For some reason, she was completely unable to resist this guy in his hands.

It's as if I've forgotten how to fight back!

By the time she got up from the ground, that guy had already gotten on his motorcycle and sped away!

In broad daylight in Longmen, while riding my bike and thinking about something, I was suddenly robbed by criminals!

Where can I go to reason with this?

As a member of the Guard Bureau, Chen Huijie must bring the criminals to justice!

"stop--!"

Almost instinctively, she took off running and chased after the motorcycle.

The red light was still on, and traffic was still flowing to the side. The sportbike suddenly lurched forward, causing a series of braking maneuvers!

— One of the cars swerved to avoid a motorcycle, crashing its front into a taxi next to it; the truck behind couldn't brake in time and hit the rear of the car; then the van behind crashed into the truck—a chain-reaction collision occurred in just a few seconds, instantly paralyzing traffic at the intersection!
