"Ugh!!!"
The car had just stopped at the modification shop, and Frank couldn't help but open the car door, quickly grabbing the trash can and vomiting wildly. God knows what he just went through.
Merlin, with a calm expression, took off his black plague robe and eagle beak mask, then left his workstation and went to his laptop to check the mission settlement.
"You're so crazy!" Frank complained, still shaken, after picking up a bottle of ice water and rinsing his mouth.
"You just get used to it after the first time," Merlin replied nonchalantly.
"That's not what I'm talking about. Can you tell me in advance before you do these thrilling moves in the future so that I can be prepared?"
"Don't worry, there are usually benefits for newbies, so your luck won't be too bad." Merlin waved his hand dismissively as he continued to check the computer.
Frank: "!!!"
"I'm sorry! Is this your first time doing those extreme moves? This joke isn't funny," Frank asked, stunned and disbelieving.
"I'm not kidding. I just happened to be taking advantage of the newbie benefits to test the new car today."
"Testing a new car... In other words, this is your first time driving this car?" Frank was stunned again.
"Yes, just today..." Merlin was interrupted.
"Wait, you'd better shut up," Frank said, calming down. He really didn't dare to continue asking. Sometimes it's better to know less.
It's a miracle I'm alive! Frank thought. The planning was perfect, but in the end, it was too crazy. No way I'm taking this guy's car again; jailbreak is safer than this!
Frank was tired after a night of action, so he slumped on the lounge sofa to rest. Merlin, on the other hand, was settling mission rewards.
"The reward for this mission is a total of six million U.S. dollars. According to our agreement, my share is 1.98 million U.S. dollars. The rest is yours. Check if it's arrived," Merlin said, showing his phone to Frank.
"Okay," Frank replied, taking out his phone to check the Rockstar app. Seeing the extra amount in his account, he nodded, then asked curiously, "Can I withdraw the money?"
"Of course, you can withdraw as much as you have, one to one," Merlin confirmed.
"Well... I didn't expect that after one mission, I would become a rich man," Frank said, surprised.
"The share is still just my planning fee. We also need to account for the cost of the equipment you borrowed from me this time. This is my personal investment."
"A Phantom Vedge, a pump shotgun, an armor-piercing pistol, three explosive bullets, one sticky bomb, sixteen grenades, twelve armor-piercing bullets..."
Like a money addict, Merlin began tallying the costs one by one.
"The total is over two million, let's round it to two million."
Frank: "...."
"You are really a black-hearted businessman."
The total reward for this mission was only six million. After the 33% split, there were just over four million left. After deducting another two million, Frank calculated that he was left with just over two million. If Merlin hadn't rounded down, he might not have even gotten that much. Is this what capitalism is like...
Frank transferred the money to Merlin with a depressed look on his face. Although he still had more than two million left, he wasn't so happy thinking about the original six million total. The great revenge was avenged, but somehow he felt a little down.
"Hey, is there anything else you want to buy? Do you want to reserve a skeleton horse armored vehicle? And buy some bullets, by the way," Merlin asked, smiling happily after receiving the money.
Frank: "......"
Good grief, now Merlin was eyeing the more than two million left in his pocket.
The two chatted for a while, but it was getting late. Merlin had to go home as soon as possible, or he might get in trouble if George took the initiative to come over.
The rolling shutter door slowly closed. Merlin sat on his motorcycle, looked at Frank who was about to leave, and suddenly asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Frank paused but did not answer, seemingly deep in thought.
Merlin continued, "Since the law cannot punish sin, why don't you become the Punisher yourself? This game is all about the player."
"I'll think about it," Frank replied, not answering directly. He put on his coat and quickly disappeared into the dark night, still wearing the skull T-shirt he drew himself.
The next day, a notice and a reward order quickly plunged New York City into turmoil. This time it was centered in Brooklyn, so it didn't affect Manhattan. The Hell's Kitchen motorcycle gang and the Mexican Irish gang were massacred by one man. During the pursuit, the police lost one inspector and three officers, all of whom died in helicopters. And everything revolved around two people.
A person who was obvious to everyone was retired Army soldier Frank. The three gangs were massacred by him, and the motive was clear: to avenge his wife and daughter. Through a reporter's investigation, the court's decision that day was soon exposed, doubling the pressure on the police from society.
As for the other mysterious man wearing plague clothes, no one had found him yet, but some clues were emerging by following Frank's traces.
While everyone discussed Frank and the mysterious plague doctor, a topic quietly became popular on the internet: a popular game in New York City, GTA V. The Phantom Wedge and Scramjet, classic vehicles from the game, were spotted in the real-world incident. Many people who played the game were initially skeptical, but upon comparing the exact appearances, it became clear that the vehicles were the same.
[Guys, I'm sure, last night in Brooklyn it was Bevel Magic and Super Burn!]
[Picture JPG, Picture JPG... To be honest, the scene of the duel between Super Combustion and the helicopter under the moonlight is really cool. It has been set as wallpaper.]
[Merlin's beard, when did the game launch offline mode, why don't I know at all!)
[Urgent, urgent, urgent... I also want to become an offline player, Rockstar will send out the invitation code quickly. ]
[Urgent, urgent, urgent... I want to drive the tyrant! I want to kill the evil spirits! I want to drive a tank!]
[I want to rob!]
[Add a friend upstairs!]
