In American comics, all your teammates are the main characters and bosses

Chapter 145: Joining the group is like returning home

Although he had only been in the group system for a few days, thanks to the unimaginable chaos in Night City, David quickly understood the many uses of the group system - well, how should I put it? The feeling of using it seemed to be no different from that of a prosthesis, and it was directly presented in his retina.

But it is different from Night City. According to the group system, the members of the group are from many worlds where world viruses may exist.

Because he had only been in the group for a short time, David was not sure what the so-called world virus was. However, through the screenshots uploaded by other members of the group, David was more or less aware that these people came from different worlds.

Well, it sounds very shocking, a mysterious network called the World Tree that connects many worlds. Although some of the worlds here are ancient ones that David has only seen in textbooks, or even magical worlds that he has only seen in old fantasy novels, David still accepted these worldviews smoothly.

If the reason is...

Sure enough, it was because the people in the group were comfortable to get along with, right? They wouldn't ask questions because of their backgrounds, and they would help each other and give some suggestions. Especially some big guys from other technological civilizations that were somewhat similar to my world. Although I could only make some gadgets because of the materials, it still greatly improved my life.

Thinking in his mind and ignoring his old mother's nagging, David entered the group chat and quickly became immersed in it.

The chat in the group is not text chat, but voice chat, which makes David feel comfortable. It feels like chatting with friends online... Well, in real life, he doesn't have many friends who would chat online.

After all, in Night City, the lower class people have to do their best just to survive. And those company dogs look down on people like me who are of low birth.

Tanjiro: "I received a message saying that the system has been updated and an option for field assistance has been added. Does anyone know about it?"

Kiritani Kazuto: "I haven't heard of it, and there is no update notification pop-up here. Is there a bug in the system again?"

Gu Yi (group leader): "Don't worry, the main reason for the newly added test items is that the frequency of world viruses has increased. Some small-scale viruses do not need to be specially mobilized to the overstaffed field departments, so they are outsourced."

Ancient One (group leader): "However, considering the special nature of the world virus and the special antibodies needed to fight the world virus, it is temporarily only open to world members who have dealt with matters related to the world virus."

David Martinez: "It sounds like an auxiliary police officer? He won't be blamed, right?"

Ancient One (group leader): "As long as nothing happens that affects the balance of the world, it's fine... Hmm? David? I just happened to need something from you, let's talk privately."

Before David could come to his senses after hearing the group leader's words, Gu Yi's chat box popped up.

Unlike Ron's department, the field department led by Ron also has a superior-subordinate relationship, but considering that each team leader performs tasks independently, the superior-subordinate relationship with Ron is not obvious. There is no such thing as a one-look decision on life and death, or a one-word decision on whether to stay or leave. In terms of system architecture, Ron can contact other field members, but he cannot forcibly control other people's systems. Although there are different levels of job titles within the department, they are equal to each other, and they share what they have and help each other.

Ron rarely asked for help because he was on missions only rarely, and they were all to deal with departmental issues. But Geralt had already faced two difficult enemies that he couldn't handle, and he chose to ask for help.

If I remember correctly, the most recent one was when he faced a corpse dragon infected by the world virus. Geralt, whose Rune Sword was sealed, couldn't deal with this monster that even the silver sword couldn't kill. In desperation, he also used 20% of the mission reward to get Kratos. I can only say that Kratos is really good value for money.

In order to save money for his son to get married, Kratos would go on missions whenever he had time. And when he encountered someone asking for help, he would help if he could. In addition to being able to gain unexpected wealth, there was also the opportunity to make some friends... Well, he was not good at socializing, so for Kratos, helping in fights was probably the easiest way to socialize.

Ancient One: "There are traces of the world virus in your world. If you have time, pay attention to what problems have occurred in your world."

A world virus has appeared in my world? ! Hearing this, David was stunned, but he was not nervous, because his understanding of the world virus was limited to this special term: "What should I do? What should I pay attention to? And I don't even know what the world virus is..."

Ancient One: "Don't worry, I'll send you detailed information later. You'll almost understand it after reading it from beginning to end."

Ancient One: "But there is something more important than this. The candidate members of the field department have already come to your world. The director of the field department is busy with some things in Asgard recently, and it will probably take some time for him to come. Please help guide him and introduce the situation of your world to him."

what?
Hearing this, David was stunned, but a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, especially in a place like Night City. David, who had been struggling at the bottom of society since he was a child, had developed a certain courage... not to mention pride, but he still had the courage he should have. Otherwise, he would have become a follower of the children of the rich and powerful, just like the other poor children in the school.

David Martinez: "Okay, what are the characteristics? How should I find him?"

Gu Yi: "You don't have to look for him. His coordinates are locked on you. Well, I looked at his information. His personality may be a little strange. Remember to communicate well."

Weird personality? What's so strange about that? There's no such thing as an alien in Night City.

David pouted silently and responded, "Okay, leave it to me!"

The group chat was voice chat, so Gu Yi could clearly hear the ease and confidence in David's words.

After taking a look at Steven Armstrong's information, Ancient One's expression also seemed meaningful.

Well, what can I say? Not to mention your Night City, Ancient One is even sure that this guy would try to stir up trouble even if he came to New York in his own universe.

Judging from Ron's attitude, let alone stopping it, he's probably afraid that the noise won't be big enough!

Shaking his head with some regret, Ancient One turned around and continued to study the remaining mysterious energy related to Frostmourne.

On the other hand, Gloria Martinez could no longer tolerate David's inattentiveness and stepped on the brakes angrily: "David! You still look so nonchalant! I——"

But before Gloria could finish her words, a group of gang members drove up to her at an alarming speed.
