Luke was still wearing the clothes he wore before he transmigrated. The background of The New Age was a world where steam, magic, machinery, alchemy, and supernatural powers coexisted. His clothes were modeled after the modern European two-dimensional game style.
The person in front of him was Shelly, codenamed Black Mamba. She had a "100%" rate of solving cases in the Cape District of Wild Waves City and was very popular among the players.
It was no exaggeration to say that.
The Cape District had become the most chaotic urban area in Wild Waves City. Apart from being the settlement of the city's lower-class residents, Shelly's unique crime-solving skills also made a great contribution.
The Shelly in front of him and the Shelly in the game didn't change much.
She was wearing a black tube top and a brown leather jacket that couldn't be buttoned because a certain part of her body was too big.
A pair of leather shorts wrapped around her hips, and a black leg ring was wrapped around her fair left leg. A gun holster was tied to the side of the leg ring.
Further down, the sharp blade attached to the heel of her leather boots was reflecting a cold light and stimulating Luke's eyes.
Luke looked at Shelly and asked, "What's the date today?"
"24th April 2647."
It seemed that some strategies would be useful on the day The New Age was launched.
"I am the new inspector of your Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau."
"Are you teasing me?" Shelly stretched her leg forward a little. "Brat! Even if you want to lie, you have to come up with a convincing lie. Even Pisco wouldn't believe what you said."
However, Pisco said, "Big Sister! Our inspector died in the line of duty last month. The headquarters said they would send another inspector to us.
"He knows so much about you and me. He might really be our inspector."
"Shut up, Pisco." Shelly stopped her stupid teammate. "I know the headquarters will send us a new inspector, but it definitely won't be... such a weak man. I bet he won't be able to survive three days in the Cape District alone."
Shelly turned to Luke and asked, "I'll give you one last chance. Speak! Who exactly are you?"
"I am your new inspector."
Shelly revealed her killing intent, and the blade under her shoe came closer.
"My patience is limited... you don't have any appointment letter with you."
Luke stared at Shelly and said, "Of course, I have a letter of appointment. It's just that you don't know how to look at it. Let go of me."
Luke's response made Shelly lose confidence.
"Where is the appointment letter? I'll take it."
"Let go of me first... Are you afraid that a weak man like me will escape from here?"
Shelly thought for a moment, then retracted her leg and gestured to Pisco.
Pisco immediately untied Luke's ropes and handcuffs.
Luke moved his wrist and said, "Give me all my things."
After getting Shelly's nod, Pisco went out and brought back an evidence bag for Luke.
Luke opened the evidence bag.
The keys, cell phone, and a few cards were all inside.
Luke took out his phone.
Shelly asked warily, "What is this? It seemed to be a magic item. I tried to open it, but I needed to enter some kind of password."
"This is an experimental alchemy tool newly developed by the Imperial Alchemy Research and Engineering Bureau. No one can open it except me."
Luke unlocked his phone with his fingerprint and flipped through the video collection.
"Here, take a look for yourself."
Shelly and Pisco looked at the screen.
When she saw a woman appear on the screen, Shelly jumped up from her chair.
She stood in a standard military posture.
"Greetings, Eldest Princess!"
Agatha, the eldest princess of the Golden Shield Empire, was a legendary woman who was beautiful, brave, and intelligent. She was ruthless, decisive, tough, and had a resolute personality. She had the demeanor of a king.
Princess Agatha's outstanding abilities allowed her to take on several roles. One of which was to be in charge of the empire's Secret Intelligence Bureau, and she was also Shelly's top boss.
Therefore, when the Eldest Princess appeared on the screen, Shelly did not dare to show any neglect.
She stood respectfully and waited for the Eldest Princess to lecture her.
Although Pisco had never seen the eldest princess before, he stood up straight when he saw Shelly's reaction.
"Greetings, Eldest Princess!"
However, what shocked Shelly and Pisco was...
On the screen, Princess Agatha said affectionately, "You... are you leaving tomorrow?
"It should be very dangerous there. I-I'm worried about you, but I trust you. With your ability, there is nothing in this world that you cannot accomplish.
"I will miss you, I will miss you every day.
"Tonight... can you not go... I want to look at you... because I don't know when will it be until the next time we meet..."
Luke put his phone back into the two dumbfounded people and said, "What happens next is not something you can watch."
The New Age was a game that had the XP fans' interests firmly in its grasp. It inserted a large number of well-made animated CG animations into the game's plot, teasing the players to dig deeper into the plot.
And as his favorability increased, he could continue to find out more about the plot.
As the UP Master of The New Age, Luke had stored a large number of CG and guides on his phone for the sake of making videos.
Forget about spending the night with the eldest princess.
He had a cinematic of him spending the night with their queen.
Looking at Shelly and Pisco's expressions, Luke knew that these Crouching Dragon and Young Phoenix of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau had been intimidated by him.
Their mouth was wide open for a long time, but they could not speak. Looking at their expressions... their head must be buzzing.
At this moment, a notification suddenly appeared in Luke's mind.
[Do you want to charge your phone?]
Luke looked at the battery on his phone... 57%.
It was time to charge.
But how should he charge it?
Luke could only try to answer in his mind. "Charge it."
The phone instantly disappeared from Luke's hand, and at the same time, the phone interface appeared in his consciousness.
The icon showed [Charging]
The phone disappeared from Luke's hand, finally waking Shelly up from her buzzing head.
"That person just now... It r-really is the Eldest Princess."
Luke crossed his legs.
"Shelly, you have seen the Eldest Princess. You should know very well whether it's real or not."
Of course, Shelly knew.
The person she saw just now was indeed Princess Agatha, and the location was in her bedroom.
However, the Eldest Princess, who had always been serious and self-disciplined, why... why would she say such words and show such an expression?
Her image had collapsed!
What was important was who the Eldest Princess was saying those sweet words to.
Shelly couldn't help but size up the man in front of her.
H-he slept with the Eldest Princess!
