Chapter 177: City Exploration

Chapter 177: City Exploration

The man, named Er Gou (Second Dog), is a thug from the Black Street.

Despite being a thug, Er Gou has a keen eye.

The woman in front of him, with her fair skin, doesn't look like a typical third-class citizen. Aren't all other third-class female citizens broad and sturdy, looking almost like men?

People like her usually come from families that have encountered major trouble, where parents had to sacrifice their own lives for their daughters'.

Such ladies, who have never needed to work for a living, find it impossible to secure jobs in the shantytowns and often resort to underhanded methods to survive, including selling their bodies when desperate.

Kanon didn't understand what Er Gou was getting at; she simply pointed at his head.

"Why can you breathe the air here?"

"Is that any of your business? My sentence is short enough for me to breathe till I die."

"How did you manage that? Just tell me, and I can fulfill any request of yours."

"You're not worthy to know."

Er Gou shook his head.

Such a woman, as stupid as a pig, yet so arrogantly spoken. He thought he could gain some advantage from her, but she didn't know how to speak properly.

Er Gou stood up to leave, but Kanon stopped him with her hand.

"What do you want?"

"I said, I can fulfill any request of yours." Kanon raised an eyebrow, unbuttoning one of her shirt buttons.

Er Gou's face visibly elongated, and he scoffed, "Sorry, I'm gay. Try that trick on someone else."

"..."

Kanon frowned, still blocking Er Gou's path, "I don't believe you. When I passed by earlier, you were clearly staring at my legs."

"Are you sick? In this kind of environment, who's interested in that? Do you still think you're a first-class citizen? We third-class citizens are already tired of living, let alone wasting energy on women."

Er Gou pushed Kanon away and left.

Kanon bit her lip, convinced that this man was a very special character in the plot, and she could extract useful information from him.

Now, she just lacked an opportunity.

With this thought, Kanon didn't hesitate to follow him. She had to find out what this man's needs were.

...

Gu Yi finished work, leaving the mine and returning his breathing equipment.

After settling up, Gu Yi only managed to reduce his sentence by 10 years, a meager gain.

Looking around at his fellow workers, each wore a rusty helmet, allowing them to move freely on the streets.

After asking around, Gu Yi obtained a helmet at the cost of adding 8 years to his sentence.

(You: Hello.)

(The man looks up at you, touching his chin with a suspicious gesture.)

(You: Can I ask how you manage to breathe here without a helmet?)

(Man: You want to know?)

(You: Yes.)

(Man: If you spend a night with me, I'll tell you.)

(You: Spend a night?)

(The man starts to make unwelcome advances.)

(You punch the man in the nose, surprised that you've actually been molested by a man.)

(Man: Someone's using violence here!)

(The man's shout attracts a service robot.)

(The robot takes a good look at you and calls for more police robots.)

(You terminate the deduction!)

"Damn, what kind of freaks are these?"

Gu Yi touched his backside, still in shock.

That man must be an NPC with a special role, but why is the XP system so weird?

Honestly, Gu Yi would rather jump off a building than sell himself.

After some thought, Gu Yi decides to confront the man again.

(Backtracking deduction begins!)

(You stand in front of the strange man, keeping a distance of one and a half meters.)

(You: Can you tell me why you don't need to wear a helmet?)

(The man stands up and walks towards you.)

(Man: You really want to know? Just spend one night with me.)

(You laugh coldly and use psychological suggestion on the man.)

(The man freezes in place, struggling against your mental force.)

(Eventually, the man fails and stands before you, not daring to make another move.)

(You glance at the service robot in the sky, which indeed doesn't come to bother you.)

(As you suspected, the man has the ability to block the service robots.)
