There is a bus service arranged by Lin Miao for transport from Stone Ridge Mountain Town to Night City, so even new players without their own cars can still visit Night City for sightseeing.
Veteran players aren't fond of driving in and out of the city either because if they carry anything, they'll be hassled by NCPD police at the inspection checkpoint, demanding bribes.
Since they're dealing with Night City's police agency, most players prefer not to cause trouble or risk a bounty on their heads, choosing instead to take the bus or cargo truck when going in and out of the city.
When Cha Lao brought the Nishikawa mother and daughter to the construction site on a bus, all the players were left amazed.
Sword Saint shouted loudly, lunging at Cha Lao: "You bastard, the kids are already this old, when did you sneak away without telling ?"
Cha Lao slapped away Sword Saint's hands, still wearing safety gloves: "You troublemaker, what nonsense are you talking? They're here looking for soone, I'm just giving them a ride."
"Looking for soone? Her husband is working at the construction site?"
"No, they're looking for the Masked Rider in your team."
"What? Masked Rider is her husband?"
Cha Lao suddenly grabbed Sword Saint's neck and shook hard
"Can you stop thinking about husbands? If you're feeling itchy, just go to the Big Bird and spin around, it'll cure you instantly!"
"Just joking, just joking! Let go, you're going to choke to death..."
Only then did Cha Lao release his hands. He explained the whole situation, but much to his surprise, Sword Saint twisted his neck, which was almost strangled
"Haha, I know, Masked Rider is in my team after all, how could I forget the child he saved? Just trying to ss with you."
"You jerk."
"You should call handso."
Sword Saint ignored Cha Lao's face, which looked as if he'd eaten dung, and sourly watched the little girl who had already run towards Masked Rider
"I saved quite a few people that night too, how co no one ca to thank or offer themselves to ? I'm not picky."
Especially seeing the graffiti hidden behind the little girl, the resentnt seed to almost materialize.
This thing...
Not even trading it for dozens of Power Armors!
Damn it!!!!
At this mont, not just Sword Saint, all the nearby players were squirming around like maggots.
"Ugh… kill , just kill already!"
"Hajika, you scoundrel!"
"Thanks from a cute little girl, how am I having such a dream?"
All around the construction site were wails, making little Ling i feel she might have done sothing wrong, nervously looking at Masked Rider, her small hands anxiously clutching her clothes, those innocent big eyes nearly lting their hearts.
"I… did I do sothing wrong… disturbed you all…"
Through the chanical mask, she couldn't see the expression of the person opposite, feeling slightly uneasy inside.
"Nothing… nothing like that…"
Masked Rider looked at the crumpled A4 paper graffiti in his hand, feeling an inexplicable sensation as if a fire had ignited within.
Just this picture made him, even if he was carrying a 500-kilogram air bomb to blow up Huang Ban Tower, have no objections.
Why not carry a ton?
Because he couldn't lift it right now.
He took a deep breath, held the picture in his hand, and squatted down seriously
"This is the best gift I've ever received in my life, thank you."
"Really?"
Ling i's eyes widened, all unease vanished, and her face brimd with joy.
"Really."
"Uh... can you take off the mask and let see?"
"Uh… that won't do…"
Masked Rider held the mask with one hand and shook his head, refusing.
If he took off the mask now, revealing his tear-streaked face, wouldn't his majesty and mystery be gone?
He had to find any excuse to cover it
"Masked Rider can't take off the mask, that's what makes him a hero of justice, anyone with a mask can be called Masked Rider."
Kids don't think too much about these things, when Masked Rider accepted her thanks, Ling i was already very happy
"Then can I be Masked Rider too?"
Even though she couldn't quite understand what Masked Rider was, Ling i really admired it.
"Of course you can."
As Masked Rider spoke, he held Ling i up with both hands, placing her on his shoulders, casually taking a welding helt from a player by the roadside and putting it on Ling i's face, completely ignoring the dumbfounded look of the player still welding and the blinding arc light.
"Ah! My eyes!!!"
And the culprit had already run off with the child on his back
"Now you're Little Masked Rider."
"Wow! I'm Masked Rider too!"
Seeing the big and little ones being chased around the construction site by safety officers wielding Physics Holy Sword, Cha Lao kicked Sword Saint, who was still writhing on the ground, up
"Have you all discussed how to resolve the issue over in Watson District?"
"I went to check today, the situation is not optimistic, those landowners are auctioning off post-fire property, and it looks like the land price is going to rise sharply... the people there probably won't have an easy ti for a long while."
Sword Saint, climbing up from the ground, brushed off the dust from himself
"This... it's indeed difficult to solve, we initially wanted to hire more people at the site, but now with the current situation… well, you've seen it too."
The new version's construction event attracted a large number of new players, and now every block on the site has players realizing those NPCs are going to snatch their work!
The more bricks NPCs move, the fewer bricks players will move, and the total rewards for the construction event are limited!
