33: Buckle family

There might be more than one "Valentine" in this world, and the situation of the Buckle Family in this world is also very different compared to the cyberpunk 2077 game.

When Fang Yun had dinner last night, he drank and chatted with Valentine and Toke. From their introduction and description of the family, Fang Yun found that the current situation of the Buckle Family was much better than in the cyberpunk 2077 game.

The successive leaders of the Buckle Family were different from the situation set in cyberpunk 2077.

Not only were the leaders' names different, but the things they did were also different.

Under the wise guidance and leadership of the past few generations of leaders, the Buckle Family can now be said to be thriving, showing no signs of gradual decline as in the game.

According to the current development trend, it is almost impossible for the Buckle Family to disintegrate after one year.

Therefore, when the cyberpunk 2077 game story begins in 2077, it is very likely that the male Wanderer Valentine will not appear?

In other words, the male Wanderer Valentine (i.e., Valentine Buckle) is not the "Valentine" in this world who corresponds to the protagonist of the cyberpunk 2077 game story.

Originally, Fang Yun thought so.

However, the sudden Nightwalker attack when returning to the Buckle Family Camp today gave Fang Yun a different idea.

"Although I have no evidence, based on the so-called 'plot convergence theory,' I always have a premonition."

"Behind the attack on Valentine and Toke, there must be a conspiracy involved."

"And this conspiracy will happen to cause the Buckle Family to disintegrate after one year."

"Then, Valentine, no, it should be said Valentine, will be drawn into the story of the cyberpunk 2077 game, just like the game protagonist Valentine."

"I just don't know if all possible 'Valentines' will be drawn into the story of the cyberpunk 2077 game as game protagonists."

"If more than one Valentine becomes the game protagonist, what should happen? The world generates an error and then collapses (laughs)? I hope not."

Just as Fang Yun was sitting in the car with his thoughts running wild, the vehicle's intelligent control System suddenly controlled the "thunder" to stop with a sudden brake.

Fang Yun subconsciously activated Krennikov due to the impact caused by the sudden brake.

From the perspective of slow time flow, Fang Yun raised his head and found that the thunder leading the way had stopped.

The door of the thunder was slowly opening, and the figures of Valentine and Toke were also slowly revealed.

Fang Yun's mind moved, and he actively turned off Krennikov.

In an instant, the flow of time returned to normal.

Toke and Valentine both pushed the doors open and got out of the car.

Valentine turned his head and shouted towards Fang Yun in the car:

"Fang Yun! We're here!"

Fang Yun unbuckled his seatbelt, turned off the engine, and then got out of the car.

After getting out of the car, looking in the direction of Valentine and Toke, Fang Yun realized that not far ahead was a human settlement.

Among them, there were large and small tents scattered around, but this distribution gave a strange sense of order.

Between the tents, some uncovered vehicles, instruments, tool benches, etc., could be seen.

"It seems this is the Buckle Family Camp."

While Fang Yun was standing outside the camp observing, Toke had already walked forward and started communicating with a family member patrolling around the camp.

Although the strong winds of the Badlands were still howling constantly, Fang Yun could still hear the conversation between Toke and that family member.

"Yo, Toke. Welcome back. Was the commission smooth?"

"Huh? Why are you asking about this? Did someone's commission go wrong?"

"Sigh, don't mention it. Several people who took commissions yesterday were more or less injured, and one person's commission was not completed and failed. Luckily, no one died."

"I see. It's good that no one died. It seems my guess wasn't wrong."

"Hmm? Do you have some leads on this matter, Toke?"

"Sort of. Let's not talk about this for now, it's hard to explain in a short while. The commission Valentine and I took yesterday also went wrong, but luckily someone lent a hand. Today, Valentine and I brought him back. Could you please help me inform the Clan Leader?"

That Buckle Family member looked past Toke and focused his gaze on Fang Yun.

After observing for a moment, he nodded and continued speaking to Toke:

"OK. I'll contact the Clan Leader now."

"Okay."

After a while, that Buckle Family member seemed to have finished communicating with the Clan Leader and spoke to Toke:

"The Clan Leader is currently in the camp hospital, talking to yesterday's injured. He said to have you and Valentine go directly there, and bring the helper you mentioned with you."

After speaking, he paused and quietly asked Toke:

"Toke, is the person you brought back okay? It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that it's a special time after all. And, I always feel like something bad is going to happen."

Toke patted that Buckle Family member on the shoulder and replied:

"Don't worry. I don't do things without confidence. The person I brought back will not cause harm to the family."

After speaking, Toke separated from that person and turned to walk towards Fang Yun.

Walking up to Fang Yun, Toke selectively told Fang Yun about the Clan Leader agreeing for him to bring Fang Yun into the camp and other matters.

Fang Yun nodded, indicating that he already knew.

Valentine, who had walked over and was standing next to Fang Yun, patted Fang Yun's shoulder at this moment and said:

"See, I told you it would be fine. Let's go, let's enter the camp."

After speaking, Valentine turned around and returned to the thunder with Toke.

Fang Yun also got back into the "thunder", started the engine, and followed Valentine and Toke into the camp.

Toke's tent was on the northwest side of the Buckle Family Camp, and Valentine's tent was not far from Toke's.

After thinking, Fang Yun still chose to park the "thunder" near Toke's tent.

After parking the car, Fang Yun pushed the door open from the "thunder" and got out.

As soon as he got out of the car, Toke and Valentine quickly walked up to Fang Yun and motioned for him to follow.

Seeing this, Fang Yun quickly followed behind them, walking towards the east side of the camp.

As Fang Yun walked, he asked with a bit of curiosity:

"Toke, why did you suddenly become so anxious? Is the Clan Leader anxious to see you?"

Toke had Valentine lead the way, then moved back slightly to walk alongside Fang Yun, and then responded:

"After all, Valentine and I were unharmed thanks to your help, so the Clan Leader does want to talk to me to understand the situation."

"But, more importantly, the Clan Leader wants to see you as soon as possible."

Fang Yun repeated:

"Wants to see me?"

Toke shrugged his shoulders and guessed with a slightly uncertain tone:

"Maybe after hearing me describe your strength and your help to us, he's a bit disbelieving and thinks you might be a 'plant' from the Nightwalkers?"

"After all, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would also find it hard to believe that a very powerful person would suddenly appear in the Badlands and just happen to rescue Valentine and me from danger."

Speaking of this, Toke smiled slightly.

"Anyway, let's go over there first and talk."

"The Clan Leader is a very wise person, I believe he will definitely express his gratitude to you after understanding the truth of the matter."

Fang Yun had a thoughtful expression on his face and said softly:

"A wise Clan Leader? I'm quite looking forward to meeting him/her/?"
