8 8 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Night has fallen over the Nighter. The market is nowhere as crowded as it used to be, but there are still many activities going on.
9 9 301 Exotic food and dishes are being sold in the gorgeous pavilion. People are shouting, selling and bargaining.
10 10 301 Many stealthy deals are also being made under the night sky.

14 14 301 1 Customer Hey buddy, how much is this one? 1
15 15 301 Vendor 200 Grubs each. 2
16 16 301 Customer What the ****? Is this painted with gold, or made from gold? 1
17 17 301 Vendor Hehe, I can only say that I got it from special connections. Gotta make my risk pay off, mate. 2
18 18 301 Customer You stole it, didn't you? That really makes me uncomfortable. I want a discount! 1
19 19 301 Vendor Hey, don't use that word! I just took it while it was unattended. How about 3 for 550? 2
20 20 301 Customer Why would I need so many? I'll think about it if you do 500. 1
21 21 301 Vendor Deal. 2
22 22 301 The vendor picks up 3 accessories from his stall. The silver paint looks brilliant even under the dim light.
23 23 301 As if they have just been painted.
24 24 301 Vendor Are these okay? 2
25 25 301 Customer Wait a sec. Are these refurbished? 1
26 26 301 Vendor What? No way. I don't sell refurbished accessories. 2
27 27 301 Customer Then why do I see paint on the barcode? 1
28 28 301 There is tension in the air. The vendor suddenly raises his head, staring at the customer, who is giving him a playful look.
29 29 301 Vendor You aren't here to buy, are you? You are looking for trouble. 2
30 30 301 Customer What are you talking about? I would love to buy if your goods are new. 1
31 31 202 1 2 1
32 32 301 The customer walks up to the vendor as he talks.
33 33 201 1 500454 -450
34 34 201 2 500148 450
35 35 301 1 Customer But what if they aren't? 1
36 36 301 Vendor Fine. I'll eat them if they aren't new. Happy? 2
37 37 301 ??? I'll grab one too.
38 38 301 Vendor That's one good customer out there... ****! It's the Pulao Crew! 2
39 39 301 Customer Oh! My wife's due today... Gotta go! 1
40 40 301 Vendor Same! I'm closing up! 2
41 41 202 1 2 1
42 42 201 1 500445
43 43 301 1 Pulao Stop! 1
44 44 202 1 2 1
45 45 301 Hearing Pulao's voice, the vendor immediately drops the accessories and flees, as if he is running for his life.
46 46 301 RImgBg1Shake 500 But his wrist and shoulder are soon grasped from behind.
47 47 301 Someone with incredible strength slams him down to the ground.
48 48 201 1 500445 -450
49 49 201 2 500148 450
50 50 301 1 Vendor Madam Pulao, please, let me go. I didn't do anything. 2
51 51 301 Pulao But your stolen goods suggest otherwise. 1
52 52 301 Vendor Goodness no. I got them from Akdilek through legal trades. 2
53 53 301 Pulao "I just took it while it was unattended." 1
54 54 301 Vendor Did you hear everything? 2
55 55 301 Pulao We were nearby before he came to your stall. Now, tell me where you stole them. 1
56 56 301 Vendor Okay! It's the East District! They were left in the warehouse doing nothing but collecting dust, so I thought I could make some use out of them. 2
57 57 301 Pulao The East District... We haven't received any report. 1
58 58 202 1 2 1
59 59 201 1 500143
60 60 301 1 Yazi Pulao, I caught the other guy. 1
61 61 202 1 2 1
62 62 301 As Pulao interrogates the vendor, a masked Construct comes back from the direction that the other man ran away. She has him in her hand.

64 64 201 2 500143 450
65 65 301 1 Pulao Thanks, Yazi. Have you identified him? 1
66 66 301 Yazi I have. This is the fugitive that was targeting the night market vendors. 2
67 67 301 Yazi shows Pulao a dagger with dried blood stains as she speaks.
68 68 301 Yazi This is his weapon. Fits the description we previously had. 2
69 69 202 1 2 1
70 70 201 1 500148
71 71 301 1 Vendor Wait a sec... Was he actually not going to buy from me? 1
72 72 203 1 0.25 -450
73 73 201 2 500445 450
74 74 301 1 Pulao I think so. He probably wanted to stab you with this and rob your goods. 2
75 75 301 Pulao Your stolen goods, I mean... 2
76 76 301 Pulao That's why I showed up when he approached you. 2
77 77 301 Vendor ****! I knew he was suspicious. How dare he! 1
78 78 301 Vendor Good on you, Madam Pulao! 1
79 79 204 2 1
80 80 301 Pulao Yeah, I didn't expect this either. 2
81 81 301 Vendor ? 1
82 82 301 Pulao Yazi and I were only after the night market murderer. Never thought we would also catch a thief like you. 2
83 83 301 Pulao That's what we call killing two birds with one stone, I guess. 2
84 84 301 Vendor ... 1
85 85 301 Vendor ****! You bloody idiot! Ptooey! 1
86 86 202 1 2 1
87 87 301 AniZhuanchangBegin The vendor spits on the still unconscious young man's face.
92 92 301 AniZhuanchangEnd 1 Pulao Good, we finally solved another case. Couldn't do it without your help, Yazi. 1
93 93 301 Yazi That's my job. After Lady Qu was gone, the Dragon Children all decided to let me out of the shadows and join the Pulao Crew to help with the Nighter's security. 2
94 94 301 Pulao But I think you would fit the Chaofeng Crew better. 1
95 95 301 Pulao It's just a feeling. 1
96 96 301 Yazi I guess Chaofeng still doesn't want me to get my hands on too much intel. 2
97 97 301 Yazi Would you like some tea? 2
98 98 204 1 2
99 99 301 Pulao Sure! Why don't you talk to Chaofeng directly next time? 1
100 100 301 Pulao I'll help too. 1
101 101 301 Yazi No need. He must have his reasons. Besides, I'm quite happy with where I am now... 2
102 102 301 Yazi Here you go. Careful, it's hot. 2
103 103 204 1 1
104 104 301 Pulao Huff... Puff... Hmm! I can feel my vital fluid getting warm. 1
105 105 301 Yazi Have some of this too. 2
106 106 301 Pulao Dragon's beard candy! Thanks, Yazi. You make me different snacks every night. 1
107 107 301 Pulao Speaking of which, the food intake of a Construct won't really have any real impact on their frame. So... Could I get a little more next time? 1
108 108 301 Yazi Constructs still need to assert self-control. Do you want me to take this away too? 2
109 3000 204 1 5
110 109 301 Pulao No! 1
111 110 202 1 2 1
112 111 401 2 1515
113 112 301 Pulao quickly pounces at the plate with snacks on it and protects it with her slim arms. The terminal on her arm suddenly lights up.
114 113 201 1 500445 -450
115 114 201 2 500143 450
116 115 301 1 Pulao It's a message from Bixi. 1
117 116 301 Yazi Should I stay away from you? 2
118 117 301 Pulao No need. A message this late shouldn't be anything important. 1
119 118 301 Pulao "An Engineering Force from Babylonia will be coming to the Nighter at 10:00 am tomorrow in order to assist with the installation of communication antennas. The Pulao Crew will be in charge of their security..." 1
120 119 204 1 5
121 120 301 Pulao Why didn't you tell me earlier!! 1
122 999 401 2 1515
123 121 301 ——
124 122 204 1
125 123 301 Pulao "I was going to let you know by noon, but I forgot the time while drawing the blueprints. My apologies..." 1
126 124 301 Pulao ...I must not complain! Bixi has a lot to do too. 1
127 125 301 Pulao pats her own cheeks as if she is punishing her misbehavior.
128 126 301 Pulao I need to change the patrol plan tomorrow. Oh, must investigate the theft on the East District warehouse too... 1
129 127 301 Yazi I'll cover that. You can focus on the Babylonia team. 2
130 128 301 Pulao But... 1
131 129 301 Pulao is about to turn down her offer, but she suddenly remembers their conversation earlier on.
142 140 301 Pulao Oh, you probably aren't too familiar with the East District yet. There are lots of alleys over there, you will be lost if you simply follow the map. I've got some tips for you. 1
143 141 301 Yazi ... 2
144 142 301 Yazi This will probably take a while. I better make more snacks. 2
145 143 204 1 2
146 144 301 Pulao Hooray! Love you, Yazi! I want char siu, bubble tea, shrimp dumpling, and... 1
147 145 301 Yazi I'm pretty sure those snacks aren't for this point of time... 2
153 151 301 AniZhuanchangEnd Ten hours before Pulao stuffed herself with dragon's beard candy, char siu, bubble tea, shrimp dumpling, osmanthus cake, jujube paste cake, qingtuan, sweet taro with gingko...
154 152 301 1:00 p.m. Babylonia

156 154 301 DialogDisable 1 Hassen Any question on the mission details? 1
157 155 302 The mission itself is not a problem... 156
158 156 302 But given that it's an engineering mission, 157
159 157 302 I think Karenina would be a better fit. 158
160 158 301 DialogEnable Hassen Apart from establishing the connection between Babylonia and the Nighter, this mission also has its diplomatic significance. We need to make a good gesture. 1
161 159 301 Hassen To return to the earth, we must unite all forces that can be united. Based on your track record, I think you will be the most suitable candidate for this mission. 1
162 160 302 Understood. I will do my best. 161
163 161 301 Hassen No need to be so serious though. The Engineering Force will take care of the installation. Just take it as a holiday. 1
164 162 302 Holiday... I see. 163 ... 164
165 163 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Hassen Haha, I promise it will not be like Venus Splash Park again. I heard that the Nighter has many unique views and events. Enjoy yourself. 1
166 164 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin Hassen I know what you're thinking. Venus Splash Park will not happen again, I promise. 1
