The Night Sun

Chapter 58: Full Belly



Clients of No One are mainly players who want customized skeleton setups.

In addition to setting up the skeleton for the body, No One also animates these skeletons.

In the world of virtual reality, there are undoubtedly more flamboyant elements compared to real life.

Activating a skill involves countless extraordinary techniques and actions, such as high jumps, strikes, and acrobatics.

Or the dances in the games.

These too are accomplished by those who work in the field of skeleton rigs like No One.

Their job is commonly referred to as a Rigger.

Many games also allow players to attach external skeleton rigs crafted by individuals like No One to the game.

It's very appealing, so the player base is quite substantial.

The two most popular games are Flawless Fighter and Dance Till Night Fall.

One is a fighting game, where players wanting more stylistic moves seek his help.

Dance Till Night Fall refines dance moves even more.

On job-hunting platforms, No One goes by the name Mr.01

He is quite renowned within those two communities.

Whenever he engages in work, he finds it hard to stop midway.

That's why there are times when he doesn't go online in the game for several days.

Like right after the game's recent update.

The most recent job offer, he doesn't know who sent it to him.

'D...M...

Huh?

"DMG?"

No One was taken aback.

DMG sent him a job invitation?

It was still freelance work, not hiring as an employee.

The job details weren't mentioned, only that it was for the company's game product.

Nonsense, all secretive.

In the past few years, they've only focused on this First World game, haven't released anything else?

DM Games should change to DM Game.

No One chuckled but still messaged to inquire further about the work.

His account had enough money to live for a few more months, but having more money was never bad.

Constantly eating, sleeping, and playing games wasn't exactly a good habit.

Just as he finished texting, he arrived at the convenience store.

No One wore a black mask, and his hair was shorter than in the game, so basically, the staff didn't recognize him.

Otherwise, there might have been a commotion for a bit.

Everyone who achieves something in First World experiences that kind of period.

Many enjoy it, but introverts like No One find it bothersome.

Lady Lam didn't bother hiding at all; she even appeared in many news articles as the leader of Moonlight Clan and a beautiful wealthy woman.

Many guys wanted to become her boyfriend.

No One put on headphones and wandered around the store, looking for things to buy.

His playlist was almost worn out from listening.

Every few days, he would go to Sword of Love's shop to find more music.

Cling cling.

The sound of the doorbell chimed.

Another customer entered.

At this hour, it's rare for someone to come into the convenience store, but it's not unheard of.

No One didn't pay much attention.

"Mai Mai! Make me the usual noodles, please!"

"Sure thing."

The store clerk took out a pack of noodles and the ingredients, preparing to cook.

It seemed this person had visited the convenience store many times before.

The voice sounded a bit familiar.

It inevitably made him turn to look.

Her hair was tied up hastily, revealing her neck.

A few strands still hung down on both sides.

She wore tight pants with a t-shirt and an electronic jacket over it.

A common outfit for women these days.

Nails painted black, with only one pinky nail painted pink.

What caught No One's attention was her voice.

Soft, slightly husky.

It sounded like a songbird.He still couldn't put his thoughts together to realize who it was.

The person was also wearing a mask and transparent glasses.

He vaguely saw those pink eyes.

Unclear whether they were contact lenses or a result of cosmetic surgery.

It was hard to tell if he had met them in the game.

While waiting for the noodles, she looked around.

She noticed someone had been staring at her.

She ignored it and opened her phone.

At this moment, the group chat was still discussing locations.

Most were choosing her city.

She was also hesitating, unsure if she should go.

If everyone asked about her job, she feared she'd be exposed.

But going to the Offline Guild Meeting... Wasn't that a kind of experience too?

Just then, the person wearing the black mask approached her.

His stature was taller than hers, creating an unusual pressure.

It was a bit intimidating.

"D-Do you need something?"

Although this city was famously safe—one reason she stayed here—having someone stare at her like that was a bit unsettling.

The store clerk noticed something wasn't right and conveniently came over to inquire.

"Sorry, I thought you sounded like someone I knew, so I came closer to check," No One simply waved his hand.She didn't remember meeting anyone who looked like this person, but because of the mask, she couldn't be sure.

"Have you met me somewhere before?" she asked while pulling her mask down.

At this moment, No One could confirm if his guess was correct or not.

"We have met, but you looked a bit different then," he smiled.

"Really? Where?" A hint of curiosity appeared on her face.

"First World."

Oh?

This was a bit unexpected for her.

She had only played the game for a day, and someone had already recognized her?

No wonder so many players in First World could easily identify others in real life.

But it was also a bit creepy...

Was this person a stalker?

"Um... Did I add you as a friend in the game?"

"Yes."

"Oh, really?"

No One picked up his phone and typed a message in the guild chat.

Ting.

Her phone also chimed.

She opened the guild chat.

【@Snow Moon】

"No One!?" She was stunned.

"Quite a surprise, being in the same city." He smiled.

Snow Vixen was a bit startled."Are you sure about that, aren't you a stalker?" she teased.

"No way. Playing games is more fun," No One laughed.

He also ordered a portion of noodles, and eventually, both of them sat at the table, enjoying a late-night meal.

"Are you planning to join the guild's offline meeting?"

No One said this while taking a bite of his noodles.

"Not sure yet, my work is quite hectic. If I'm free on that day, I might go."

He nodded, opening his phone to check the lively guild chat.

It's already 3 AM, doesn't anyone have to work tomorrow?

"You're still not going to the Tomb of The Immortal Blade? The rewards for clearing the dungeon are quite good."

Snow Vixen shook her head.

"Not interested, I'm also busy with a lot of things and worried I won't be able to find the time to go."

And if she went, she might lose her paid gaming allowance.

No One gave up trying to entice her to the Tomb of The Immortal Blade.

"That's a shame, the guild plans to go again tomorrow."

"Aren't you waiting to level up to 79?"

"No, many guilds will also go tomorrow. Today's and tomorrow's rewards will be enough to reach level 75. I might have to buy rewards from other players to level up, but still."

Waiting until level 79 might be too late for many guilds.

At least with the First Boss, others would already claim the title of first clear.

Snow Vixen nodded, understanding how competitive the guilds could be.

If it weren't for the restrictions of being a company employee, she would want to help too.

The Divine Druid class was truly made to solve many problems.

It reduced the influence of the Plague Doctor and countered the Blade Dancer.And the Tomb of The Immortal Blade dungeon became a bit easier.

Without these additional classes, the company would never have allowed Tofu to create such a terrifically difficult dungeon.

A pile of mechanics, most leading to instant death, with many being impossible to counter.

The game had already lost quite a number of players because the dungeon was too hard.

However, the game offered many functions targeting other customer segments, like home-building for women, and non-combat professions such as blacksmiths, farmers, tailors, etc.

Along with various types of mini-games.

But the most prominent feature remained the combat and dungeon system.

If they made it too easy, no one would be interested. Too hard, and it would deter players.

In every meeting, Snow Vixen wanted to argue with Tofu about this issue.

After chatting happily for a while, they said goodbye to each other and headed home.

Both with full bellies and quenched thirsts. Now, it was time to get a good night's sleep.
