157: Set off
"I've decided to head to Night City after breakfast. The Old Captain sent three 'tricky' commissions, and time is a bit pressing."
"Also, I need to make a trip to Carter Company to see if I can find a solution to the recognition program issue for Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou."
Vavinia nodded, indicating she understood.
"I don't have anything else to do today. Do you need me to continue helping train Hua Meiying and the others?"
"Mm... then I'll trouble you."
Vavinia smiled lightly and pouted.
Fang Yun walked over, bent down, and lowered his head.
"Kiss."
"This is payment in advance."
The two adjusted their clothes.
Fang Yun smiled, holding Vavinia's small hand, and walked out of the tent.
...
After breakfast, Fang Yun and Vavinia parted ways, each returning to their own tents.
"nichirin sword, nichirin sword. Get some materials needed to synthesize a nichirin sword, and then head to Night City."
Fang Yun muttered as he walked into the basement under the tent.
Before long, Fang Yun, carrying a cherry-blossom-colored tachi, emerged from the basement again.
"I didn't expect the synthesis of the nichirin sword to be quite simple."
"Although I don't have a breathing technique and can't use 'sword form' type sword skills, the normal attack effect can still be activated."
"The gorgeous cherry blossom effect, like a 3D projection, is perfect for burying enemies."

After sealing the entrance to the basement, Fang Yun walked out of the tent.
"Old friend, I hope this mission won't turn you into a battle-damaged version."
"This level of increased combat intensity should just be a little kiss for you, right."
Fang Yun said in a slightly teasing tone, patting the hood of "thunder."
"Let's go."
Accompanied by the familiar roar, Fang Yun drove out of Bucker Camp and headed towards Night City.
...
As always, the desolate scenery.
Thanks to the major corporations' complete disregard for environmental destruction, the areas outside Night City proper are arguably completely unsuitable for human life.
On the barren, harsh, radiation-filled wasteland, only the most tenacious Wanderers and those completely abandoned by society are still struggling to survive.
The distant skyline was stained a sickly orange-red by industrial waste gas. Although the sun had just risen not long ago, it looked as if it was already approaching dusk.
The architectural remnants outside the car window gradually increased, all looking riddled with holes from acid rain corrosion.
Once prosperous suburban towns are now just rusted metal frames and broken holographic billboards.
No matter how dazzling the light of Night City is, it cannot reach here.
This is the shadow of civilization, a forgotten corner.
In this wasteland, simply surviving is the cruelest cyberpunk fairy tale.
Fang Yun drove at high speed through the Badlands.
"Hmm? Vavinia?"
The communication icon in his vision suddenly lit up. Fang Yun opened it to see that it was a message from Vavinia:
"Be careful when doing commissions. (Worried.jpg) (Cheering.jpg)"
"There's something I need to tell you. Brother and Uncle Toke went to Night City for a commission yesterday and should be finished this morning."
"After you arrive in Night City, you can contact them. Maybe they can provide you with some help."
Fang Yun raised an eyebrow:
"No wonder I was with Vavinia all day yesterday and didn't see Valentine come looking for me. Turns out he went out for a commission."
"Is it because he didn't want to trouble me, or because if I acted, the fight would be over quickly, and he felt he wouldn't grow?"
"I'll ask later."
"Okay. I'll contact them as soon as I get into the city."
"..." (Waiting for reply)
"OK. (Cheering.jpg)"
