Chapter 204
*Thanks again for watching over me.* I called out as I slipped down into the Netrunner Combat Zone through the bar-like entrance.
*Hey no problem. You bought food. So I’m just hanging around. Besides, it’s still interesting.* Malcolm confirmed and I nodded.
I had come to earn some XP. Or try to. I had maybe burned some bridges a bit too much trying to get every ounce of XP I could get last few times.
So I was planning on taking a different tact.
I slipped into a booth and like I expected, when I put my name up for combat. No one seemed interested.
That wasn’t entirely unusual though. Not everyone wanted to fight everyone. So I had to put up something a little extra.
*Reward: 1 hour code debugging assistance.*
Then I settled in. Most of the time people put up eddies if they were really new, or information. Some put up hacks, or things. But every netrunner I had run into had some deep desperate need to debug their code.
It didn’t take long before I got a message.
