Chapter 615: Assassin's Creed 1

Looking at the swarming crowd in the shop, Owner Fang felt that he would probably have to expand the shop's space once again.

As for when the game would actually be released...

Owner Fang glanced at the quest list and found that the objective regarding the appearance of assassin players in the shop had actually been completed.

At the moment, many players who had come in wanting to try *Assassin's Creed* had started playing *Resident Evil 2* instead because *Assassin's Creed* had not yet been launched, causing the crowd to spill out to the exterior; not only that, but quite a few onlookers from outside had also gathered around.

Judging by this momentum, once the storefront was expanded tomorrow, the other part of the quest would be just about finished as well.

When the next day arrived, even though the storefront had been expanded to one thousand computers, the number of people was, as expected, far greater than yesterday.

Unlike the old shop, though the people here felt surprised upon seeing the expanded space within the store, it was limited to thinking that this shop owner had quite a grand background, and they were not overly astonished.

In fact, the Alchemist Guild had similar arrangements, and if necessary, the Judgment Temple could manage it as well; even the Elven Royalty possessed an independent minor plane of existence.

Therefore, when Sera entered the shop, this was not what she minded.

She skillfully ordered a bucket of instant noodles, steeped them in boiling water, added a sausage, and then her gaze fell upon this detestable owner's face: "Is Assassin's Creed coming out today or not?"

Hassim had arrived at the shop very early; as an assassin who grew up in the slums, he never lacked the excellent quality of diligence.

He had graying short hair, looked about forty or fifty years old, and dressed very simply, just like a... rustic old farmer; if he did not say so himself, in fact, no one would think he was an assassin.

But in truth, to be able to escape from that failed assassination and from the inescapable dragnet laid out by the Temple, any assassin would have to be highly exceptional.

By contrast, Irina, who sat opposite the sofa, appeared much different; she always unconsciously sat very upright and elegantly, and even without performing any formal etiquette, she would hardly appear discourteous anywhere.

Of course, no one knew either that this red-haired woman currently burying her head in eating spicy sticks was the famous "Rose of the Moon," who had once successfully assassinated a Grand Priest.

"Ah—!" Right in the middle of her eating spicy sticks, she suddenly heard Sera let out a cry of surprise.

Because she noticed that the words "Trailer 2" behind yesterday's "*Assassin's Creed* Trailer 2" had been erased.

And after *Assassin's Creed*, a numeral "1" had appeared.

"Ah—!" She cried out again, as if completely unable to believe her own eyes, "Is *Assassin's Creed* released?!"

"What?!" Irina also cried out in surprise on the spot, almost dropping the spicy sticks in her hand onto the ground; after watching the trailer yesterday, she had been so excited that she could not sleep all night, and even felt the urge that if the owner did not release *Assassin's Creed*, she might as well just lay out a bedroll here every day and wait; she had not expected it to actually be released?!

And it was out right now?!

"It's really out?!" Many people also looked over in disbelief.

Meanwhile.

Among the players in the old shop, quite a few were also eagerly looking forward to the release of this *Assassin's Creed* game at this moment; after all, it had been a very long time since a new single-player game had been launched in the shop.

Furthermore, for an adventurer like Nalan Hongwu, even the Solar Judgment had been obtained, leaving him with almost no pursuits left in life.

And the highest difficulty of *Resident Evil 2* had also hit a bottleneck; clearing normal difficulty with a knife was fine, but the highest difficulty was truly a bit too depressing to play, so he also needed to catch some fresh air; besides, he was at an age to enjoy his retirement, and the life achievement of saving the world had already been fulfilled, so why tire himself out like that every day.

Therefore, Nalan Hongwu had been somewhat idle lately.

Song Qingfeng went without saying.

There were also people like Mo Xian from the Nanhua Faction, who were all counting on experiencing a wave as soon as any new game came out.

Upon hearing that the new game was released, they instantly turned from a state of salted fish to bouncing around alive and kicking, leaping up from the sofa: "Activate it for me! Activate it for me!"

Jiang Xiaoyue clearly thought about playing the new game too: "Owner, I want to play it too!"

The quest for *Assassin's Creed* was a series quest; once unlocked, it would display the activation conditions for the other generations; *Assassin's Creed 1* was activated directly, while the activation conditions for those behind were also explicitly indicated.

And at this time, Fang Qi was inspecting the system panel.

After the quest was completed, Fang Qi found that he had not only activated the sale permission for *Assassin's Creed 1*, but had also obtained a prototype badge of an assassin image.

Prototype Badge: When a certain game or cinematic work possesses other prototype characters, all prototype badges must be gathered before it can be activated...

There were also many descriptions below.

"There's even this kind of thing?" Owner Fang looked left and right, seemingly studying the function of this item, and at this time, many people had already begun to enter the game.

What came into view was an image traveling through the composition of countless genetic particles, finally forming a circular icon.

"Ubisoft?" As an orthodox researcher, Li Haoran looked over curiously, "So many genes? Is this senior 'Ubisoft' a professional at unlocking gene locks?"

By now, these people were clearly already very familiar with such a thing as a gene lock, though not a single one had truly unlocked it.

Before their eyes lay a medieval city; what they saw was precisely the scene of Altaïr leaping down from the bell tower to assassinate, an episode they had already seen in the previous trailer.

Only it was much more detailed than the previous trailer, from the assassination, to fleeing the scene, to utilizing visual deception to cleanly break the line of sight of the guards pursuing them, assassinating a lone soldier, and finally blending into the flow of people to depart.

In the eyes of Sera, who possessed no experience as an assassin, this seemed to be nothing much, but Irina's eyes lit up as she watched; the system version was after all different from the somewhat blind soldiers in the original game, and these soldiers, who were no different from real people, were not that easy to evade.

Relying solely on a few steps, breaking everyone's perspective in a mere few seconds, and even finding the right opportunity to depart composedly—if they possessed such skills, even if the assassination failed in Grey Eagle City, the Temple would not be able to catch a single trace of them.

After finishing this segment, they truly began to enter the game.

What entered the view was not the city seen previously; the line of sight was a patch of grayish-white, as if a large pair of protective goggles had been placed over one's own eyes.

One moment entering that ancient medieval city, and the next moment suddenly becoming a patch of grayish-white again; this sense of unreality felt just like being in a dream.

What entered the view was a massive laboratory; amidst their dialogue, all the players were somewhat dazed: "This thing can trace back the memories of ancestors in the bloodline?"

"This is a projector capable of rendering genetic memories in a three-dimensional manner."

"What if I told you that the human body not only stores an individual's memories, but also includes those of their ancestors?"

"Genetic memory, you can call it that; migration, hibernation, reproduction—animals know when to set off, where to migrate, and what to do."

"Eh?" Jiang Xiaoyue suddenly became dazed, "Can you also project this princess's ancestors' memories?"

Li Haoran was also dazed: "!!?? I just intended to play casually, how is there even this kind of black technology?!"

Tracing back to ancient times in this world, who didn't have a formidable ancestor...

The players of the new shop: "..."

In an instant they felt: Though we don't understand it, it feels so damn high-end and sophisticated!

PS: So some classmates should not be in a hurry to recommend Dragon Ball to the author; this prototype order cannot be reversed, if it is reversed, the problem will be huge.
