After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS-Chapter 130 - 118: Bar Conflict

After Su Mo agreed, Dress introduced the details of the commission.

Listening to it, the overall process was no different from in the game; the place was still the same place, and the work was still the same work.

But the time it should have happened, and the people who should have participated, were completely different from Su Mo's memory.

This is the effect of world line changes.

Since entering the Dawn Realm, he has made quite a few changes to the original plot.

The escape of "Dr. Chen."

Nuobai's early retirement.

The death of Elder Tang.

The encounter with Audiana.

The interception mission of [Mad Sand]...

What seems like nothing earth-shattering, but that's how the butterfly effect is—a tiny disturbance can lead to drastic changes downstream.

It can be expected that as he continues to influence this world, world line changes will become more frequent and intense.

Some events might happen at times they shouldn't, involving people they shouldn't involve.

Or things that should have happened just won't occur, replaced by things that shouldn't have happened.

The ultimate result is that the Dawn Realm slowly drifts away from the original game trajectory, becoming drastically different and increasingly unfamiliar to Su Mo.

This is unavoidable because this is the ever-changing reality, not a game with fixed programming.

So, Dress's phone call was not just about a commission; it was a warning for Su Mo.

He needs to prepare in advance for the world line changes.

...

After the call, Su Mo returned to the room and said, "Dongdong, get ready to work."

For this commission, he planned to bring Dongdong along.

First, the companions were relatively unfamiliar, and having more familiar people meant more support.

Second, to let Dongdong quickly become familiar with the commission process and soon be able to handle things independently.

Dongdong had always been active, having been cooped up for days, and couldn't hold back anymore. She pointed her Dragon Steel Baseball Bat towards the door: "Charge!!!"

This time, including Su Mo, Dress recruited a total of 15 Mercenaries.

Among them, 13 belonged to a Mercenary Corps called "Thunderclap," and Su Mo and Dongdong were the two additional helpers.

Dress was quite sincere, to help Su Mo integrate quickly, he specially arranged everyone to meet at a bar to get acquainted first.

Su Mo drove Dongdong to the bar, entered the private room, and found it already full of people.

Sitting in the main seat in the center was Dress, a black man with dreadlocks, wearing hip-hop style clothes, rapping into a microphone.

Don't be fooled by this unserious appearance, Dress is not just about singing and dancing rap.

He is a well-known big intermediary on the same level as Audiana, backed by the Iron Blood Alliance, rich in social resources, and with countless connections.

Dress is naturally familiar with everyone; seeing Su Mo enter, he put down the microphone, picked up two glasses of wine, and walked over: "Hey yo, Old Su, been waiting for you a long time, have a drink."

He handed a glass to Su Mo, then looked at Dongdong: "Oh, so this is the helper you're bringing along? Not at drinking age yet, huh?"

Dongdong tiptoed and snatched the glass of wine from Dress's hand, downed the entire glass of tequila, and flipped the glass upside down on the table after finishing: "I've been drinking since I was 10, who are you looking down on?"

"Good! I like this girl's temperament!" Dress laughed heartily, extending his hand to Dongdong.

The two of them bumped thumbs, clapped hands, and tapped fists, displaying street cred with effortless skill.

Dress gestured behind him: "Old Su, that bald guy over there is Old Sun, the leader of the Thunderclap Mercenary Corps, get to know him, I've got a couple more commissions to coordinate."

"Take care." Su Mo escorted Dress to the door.

After Su Mo returned, "Old Sun" stood up to shake his hand and said: "I'm Sun Min. I heard Brother Su Mo is a Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier? Mind if I ask what level?"

Su Mo's abilities were too diverse, with three combat-type blood codes alone, not to mention implanted artificial bodies.

These peculiarities couldn't be exposed, so he usually only claimed to be a "Mad Corpse Blood Code Carrier" to outsiders.

Faced with Sun Min's inquiry, Su Mo didn't hide: "High Tier of Awakening."

The surrounding Mercenaries nodded unconsciously, and Sun Min smiled and said: "Most Blood Code Carriers stop at the Middle Tier of Awakening, Brother Su Mo honing his blood code to the High Tier is quite a talent."

Su Mo smiled: "Advancing small tiers is manageable; crossing tiers is a big hurdle. Let's talk about my talents if I ever reach the 'Ascension Level.'"

Sun Min nodded and looked at Dongdong: "What's your helper's ability?"

Dongdong chimed in: "I have artificial implants, left arm and spine, both at Ordinary Management Level 3."

The Mercenaries looked Dongdong up and down, with some condescension in their eyes.

A long-haired man quipped: "Only modified an arm and a spine, and at the lowest end, Ordinary Management Level 3, not much different from having a regular body, huh?"

"We've modified at least six or seven parts, using mostly Ordinary Management Level 2 artificial bodies, with some at Level 1. Teaming up with us, your strength doesn't quite match, does it?"

Dongdong, being hot-tempered, was not pleasant at all: "Think you're great just because you have more modifications? Blah blah blah, one would think you have a full Apocalypse-level Artificial Body, aren't you all just at Ordinary Management Level, acting so high and mighty?"

The long-haired man wasn't pleased and his face soured: "Damn, a shorty with a sharp tongue, huh?"

"Bang!"

Dongdong swung and shattered a tableful of bottles, pointed at the long-haired man, and snapped: "You *Civilized Border* say I'm short again, I dare you!"

"Shit, now she's cursing, really fucking arrogant." The long-haired man looked at Sun Min, glaring, "Brother Sun, can I hit her?"

Dongdong also looked at Su Mo: "Boss, don't stop me when I pound him later."

Su Mo and Sun Min exchanged glances, saying nothing, both seeing the humor in each other's eyes.

Since they're going to work together, they naturally have to test each other's limits.

Sun Min didn't want anyone in the team dragging them down.

Su Mo was personally recruited by Dress, and as a High Tier Blood Code Carrier, there's no need for testing.

But this pink-haired little girl touted as Su Mo's helper, yet her level of body modification is unconvincing, she'll need to show some skill to put everyone at ease.

Su Mo had the same thought.

This commission, with most of the people from the Thunderclap Mercenary Corps, he and Dongdong were outsiders wanting to fit in, they need to show something convincing.

If they don't trust Dongdong, it's easy, solve it the Mercenary way.

Su Mo stepped back to the corner, instructing Dongdong: "Just a point."

Sun Min also looked at the long-haired man: "Wang Wei, just a point."

The Thunderclap Mercenaries spread out, giving the two fighters ample space.

Dongdong kicked the table aside, raised her chin, and waved her baseball bat, telling the empty-handed Wang Wei: "Hurry and find something handy, don't come crying later saying I bullied you with a weapon."

Wang Wei sneered, waving his hands, two curved combat blades sprung from under his wrists, obviously implanted artificial bodies.

"Kid, Brother here has a bad temper, don't go crying your nose, okay?"
