I’m Really Scared
Chapter 203: Agent 47 and Social Death

With Guan Shan's level up, the simulator was clearly undergoing some subtle changes.

Typically, the rewards it offered were just what Guan Shan needed or could use to compensate for his shortcomings.

It was like a professional game planner, arranging each phase's rewards based on the player's needs.

Guan Shan had noticed this before but didn't pay much attention since it was beneficial to him.

However, the simulator never seemed too obvious about it.

But now, the simulator's changes were glaringly apparent.

The usual "destroying the scene" step was completely gone! Guan Shan keenly sensed something was amiss.

One reason he initially believed the simulator was creating a simulated, fictional scenario was because it always destroyed the scene, and ordinary people didn't notice anything unusual!

"Could it be that the simulator deliberately hid its reality from me?"

Guan Shan pondered, "Now that I'm fully aware of the simulator's truth, it's stopped bothering to hide it."

This made him suspicious that the simulator might have another agenda...

Yet, upon reflection, it didn't seem to affect much.

Except that Guan Shan unwittingly became a feared and ruthless executioner.

"Maybe this was the simulator's plan all along?"

Guan Shan thought wryly, "By the time I realized it, it was too late to escape."

He sighed, trying to focus. The missing destruction step was concerning, but he was more interested in the ten additional backpack slots.

"Free Logistics," being an organization that collects and transports Panspirit Objects, having space-related items among its members wasn't surprising.

So, the simulator extracting backpack slots from this scenario made sense.

But the issue was that the simulator was being overly generous this time!

Ten slots!

It felt like a last meal...

There's always something fishy when things are unusual. Guan Shan knew the simulator too well; it usually skimped on rewards, never being generous.

This could only mean one thing— "Before a big battle, there's always a supply drop!" Guan Shan thought, "With the breakthrough mission ahead, this task is likely going to be a tough one... I need to be fully prepared."

After this mission, he had 134,042 game coins and ample backpack space, enough to clear out the shop, including the previously expensive and seemingly pointless [Toy Bear].

...

The logistics team's efficiency remained high, quickly cleaning the warehouse and handling the nearby residents.

Even the unwittingly involved landlord Zhang wasn't left out. Since he had witnessed everything, they couldn't erase his memory but had him sign a confidentiality agreement and arranged for undercover protection.

Zhang, relieved to find he wouldn't be silenced and would receive a hush fee, was overjoyed.

Guan Shan bid farewell to everyone and headed straight home.

"Click."

Locking the door and turning on the lights, Guan Shan grabbed a cola from the fridge, sat on the sofa, and took out the product of the Furnace Core from his backpack.

A humanoid mechanical construct.

[Crude Humanoid Mechanical Creation (Unnamed)]

[Health: 15000]

[Effect: Assists the player in autonomous combat, equipped with skills [Air Cannon], [Self-Destruct], [Camouflage], [Repair]]

[Description: Furnace technology, crafted with ingenuity, bringing you the experience of Cyberpunk 2077... in reality.]

Guan Shan wanted to mock the fact that this was made from an old-fashioned blacksmith's furnace, but if the simulator said it was so, it was.

And visually, it did look quite cyberpunk.

A nearly transparent outer contour revealed its inner mechanical structure, reminiscent of the robot from the movie "I, Robot."

Most cyberpunk was the silver mechanical heart and the plastic tubes throughout its body, where a mercury-like liquid seemed to power it.

The left arm had no hand, replaced by a cannon barrel, clearly the [Air Cannon] source.

"According to the skill description, one shot can deal over 5000 damage, but it needs a 30-second cooldown and can only fire up to five times consecutively before requiring self-repair, or it will overheat and disintegrate..."

Guan Shan stroked his chin, "But even so, the damage is impressive."

The [Repair] skill not only allowed self-repair but could fix any mechanical item within its scope.

[Self-Destruct] was self-explanatory... a one-time skill causing 50,000 damage.

The [Camouflage] skill could form an optical camouflage on its surface, making it less conspicuous.

Guan Shan thought for a moment and, with a hint of mischief, tried to make it look like Shen Dinghua.

Unfortunately, the thing lacked transformation capabilities.

The surface was just that—a surface.

Meaning, it had no hair, so it couldn't generate hair, just a skin overlay...

Likewise, facial features and the body were the same.

The result was too disturbing for Guan Shan to look at.

He covered his eyes, canceling the skill to avoid going blind, "This looks like a beginner's 3D modeling project!"

With a sigh, Guan Shan turned it into Agent 47, a bald man in a suit with a barcode tattooed on his head.

A bald head couldn't go wrong!

Next, Guan Shan tested its intelligence.

"Pick up the cola."

"Hand me the cola."

These commands were fine.

"Get a can of cola from the fridge."

The suit guy opened the fridge, stared at the canned cola, and pondered over the term "a can."

Then, it simply popped the top off the can and handed it to Guan Shan.

Guan Shan stared at the "cup" in front of him: "..."

In a way, it wasn't wrong? "Say a tongue twister?"

"Eight hundred paces..."

"Who am I?"

"Dear player, you can set how I address you."

"Uh... call me Mr. Guan."

"Okay, Mr. Guan."

"Who are you?"

"Crude Humanoid Mechanical Creation, open parenthesis, unnamed, close parenthesis."

"..."

After a few simple commands and questions, Guan Shan gave up on its intelligence.

As for the name, Guan Shan couldn't be bothered to come up with another, "You'll be called 47 from now on."

47's flat, cold face showed no emotion, producing a mechanical voice like the simulator's, "Yes, Mr. Guan."

Guan Shan nodded in satisfaction. With 47 and Shadow Clone, one in the open and one in the shadows, their coordination would be perfect.

"Now, there's only one more issue to address."

Guan Shan took out the Worker Bee Pendant, narrowing his eyes at the "Queen Bee" inside the glass container, "Queen Bee, have you considered my offer? You grant Chief Li freedom, and I grant you freedom. Fair, isn't it?"

Leaning back on the sofa, he tapped the armrest, his tone icy, "My patience has limits. Understand that, and we can cooperate smoothly."

The "Queen Bee" inside the glass jar fluttered its wings, emitting Chief Li's voice, "Xiao Guan?"

The slightly hoarse voice, familiar and gentle, held a hint of hesitation.

"..."

Guan Shan's cold smirk froze.
