Part 56: Spoilers: I'm Bringing This Quest Back For Chrono X

Fuck, are we still doing this?



Don't worry Yeti, this won't last much longer.



I always wondered if these people just wait around for 46 years for someone to take their requests.

Nah, imagine you accept it and then continue to not give a shit about doing these requests and beat the game or something. "Ooh, my aching back... I have to stand here for hours and hours and that young whipersnapper that accept my request is off saving the world? The nerve of youngsters these days!"





Do NOT chip trade this. You won't get another one, meaning you completely screwed yourself from completing any future quests if you trade it. Remember that the Chip Trader automatically saves your game.

Is this one of the ones you can't get from Higsby/drops? I don't remember.









Really, lady? C'mon, now.



If you're playing on Blue version, you can very easily get four of these: one from SciLab Area 1's Blue Mystery Data, and 3 from ACDC CyberSquare's shop. If you're playing on White, well, you can only get 1 outside of Chip Order(3400Z at that). Thankfully, however many copies of a chip gets thrown into the Chip Trader gets sent right back to Higsby's Chip Order system.





Time to go hunting.

Ugggghhhhhh. Another reason why I hate the Job BBS: a lot of it is just net-hunting. And by this point in the game, fighting the enemies has become more a chore and less enjoyable. Don't get me wrong, being able to pull off a Double/Triple kill or Countering for BugFrags still has that delicious little thrill, but at this point regular fights are just a pain.



If you're methodical about combing these games, then you'll probably start with ACDC Square. And that's the exact location you'll find the guy's Navi. These games reward being methodical, let me tell you.





Hm, I think TimeBomb might be cooler for whatever action sequence you guys are planning on doing. Invis is cheap, overused, and boring!

Oh shut up. It's easier than having to deal with actually dodging.

Scrub talk.





Good, an Aqua+30. Go order a second copy from Higsby's Chip Order. These are handy things to have when you're trying to superboost BubbleMan's chip to deal insane damage.

So basically BubbleMan is so useless he needs extra chips to make him useful



Yeesh, so formal.







GASP! We've been recognized!

We must eliminate all witnesses! There may be no survivors that have seen our face!







There are three bombs split between the two Principal Areas. We have to examine the random objects in the computer to find them.



Come to think of it, I like how this is the only dungeon with ornaments relating to the real world.

MMBN6 was much better in that regard. The cyberworld actually looked like it was being used for things in the real world.



We have to solve a puzzle each time we find one. If we get it wrong, we'll have to fight a virus. If we don't, the bomb will diffuse.







The correct answer. However, I am Killer, and I like to fight.

The puzzles aren't hard, and when I played the game I think I just took the correct answer if only to avoid having to deal with what's about to happen.



Fun. There is a BlackBomb on your side of the field, which will deal 220 damage if you let those spikeys hit it. This is as easy as just not standing in the middle row.

I accidentally got hit by one of the Spikey2s on the second row top column. It was not fun when I suddenly realized the BlackBomb exploded. That was a sudden surprise.





Apparently, the bombmaker was Pennywise the Clown.





Durrrrrrrr



And this virus appears if you get it wrong.





My IQ?

Hey, hey, no stealing my jokes. I'm the one that's supposed to insult you, jerk.





And a weak fight to finish it all off.

This is, like, scenario 2 stuff. C'mon now, game, kick it up a notch. Maybe they accidentally reversed the order of the bombs... Was the order you did that in the opposite or something?

Nope, that was the "intended" order.





Cool. I can actually show this off!



So, AntiRecovery only activates once your opponent uses a Recov-series BattleChip. It will then cancel that chip and deal damage exactly equal to the amount they attempted to heal by.



Like so.

Would it proc on Roll, or just chips that are literally the Recov-series?

Good question, I need to check that later.



Oh wow, a request that actually ties into the narrative. I guess the Condor from BeastMan's scenario never came back.





Uhh, you're a professionally trained animal caretaker. Why can't YOU do something?

Remember, adults not named Hikari, Wily, or Cossak are useless in this universe.







So why don't you just call that guy?



Well, now don't you feel like an ass?





The dude gives us an OldDoll, which the condor likes because the doll was next to him when he was born.

Imprinting is an actual thing! Props to Capcom to getting the science right.



Lady, what was so hard about this? Did it ever occur to you to ASK the guy?





Which means we must run in and out of the map to reload the condor.



Aha. CONDOR CAPTURE!!

It's actually a Replicant. Beware of the Condor.



This brings our maximaum allotted SubChip capacity to 8.

Yippee, more useless things and then LocEnemy and SneakRun.



I'm going to be skipping a bit and doing the quest "Catching gang members" first.



: You can't walk these roads, son! Dem shits belong to the gangs of ACDC Ghettos.

I honestly have nothing to add to this.





Oh my god, a Mr. Prog writing on the Request Board. MissEchelon would be so proud.



Search & Destroy.

Mr. Prog - remorseless killing machine or smiling sociopath? YOU DECIDE



Fuck! I need to equip Press to get to half of the gang members! Unless you play this game, you will never truly understand how annoying this is.

Let's see if I can make people understand: You're running along all merrily, exploring the net and then BAM we have a Press path. Now, most of the time we're not on Press paths, so the Press NaviCust piece isn't going to be installed. So! We hit start to open up the screen, then navigate to Megaman. (That's one + three inputs, followed by another one to go into the menu). Then we enter the NaviCust (another two) and find Press (which can be any number of presses, but we'll say five just for sake of math). After removing our previously installed program to free up space (two presses) we've switched out for Press. Great. Now we have to run it and wait five seconds for the game to load it... And then we're done. Elapsed time to switch to press (for someone that's done it enough)? Probably under a minute.

In summation: FUCK PRESS









Oh look, a postgame virus. Damn Rattys.

Fucking Rattys. Even MissEchelon's amazing art can't make me like the vicious little hellbeasts.







I'm starting to notice a few trends here.







So these guys made a gang about going fast? Did they watch too much Sonic X in their youth?

Gotta go faster faster faster-faster-faster!





Annnd done.

Wait for them to line up and then shockwave?









Yes!! The second Expand Dong is ours!

YESSSSSSSSSS. And the game is now fully snapped in two in terms of NaviCust.



This is the last one, which provides a whole column of space. The possibilities, people! The possibilities.



"Be my boyfriend!" Oh this looks promising.



Yes, me.

Fellate yourself some more, why don't you.



This sounds fishy. A girl on the Internet looking for a boyfriend? Clearly it's a troll; there are no girls on the Internet.



Damn, she's cute.

On the internet, there are boys, men, and girls. Boys are men, men are men, and girls are FBI agents.



This request.

I enjoy this request so very, very much.





Now, what lady doesn't want a boyfriend named MegaMAN? Back me up on this one, ladies.





Ah shit. In front of friends. We had no prep time.

See, this is why you hire an actor, not just some random schmuck.



She's lucky I'm not MegaMan. I would start trolling immediately.







You should see the smirk on my face right now.

It probably matches mine.











...Just what did you tell these people?

So we're acting as a boyfriend of a compulsive liar, apparently.







How much research did she do on MegaMan before setting up this meeting?





Well, this is an actual show. In fact, guys, remember when MegaMan had to take a job as a stuntman for that show?


This seems like a good answer?

I mean, yeah, that works, right? It's true, too.





Bitch, are you stupid? Power Rangers is a morning show!

Well fuck you too then.



Wait, what?





Seriously?

What the fuck, lady? Are you trying to get us killed?



MissEchelon! You forshadowed this!


All the bitches love Dominerds, you see.

Bitches love Dominerds. True fact.





Really, I think we should have practiced at least somewhat. Maybe pull MegaMan aside and have him go over a few things.

Let's just roll back time a bit, then...





Going back to the selection this is the correct answer.



Love & Loss on the Net? She did NO research on MegaMan!

Oh lord she marked us as reality TV stars.







Please make it a sex question.



Dammit.







I would love to get paid to do this. Someone give me a job. I will ruin everything at a discounted price.

Giver's Discount Emporium, everything half off! Will ruin for cash!







MegaMan, you are becoming more like me every second. Soon, there will be two Givers and a pissed off Yeti.

Fuck pissed off, this is hilarious. Having to deal with two of you on a personal basis? yeah, I'd probably snap after the third or fourth time meeting you. Watching MegaMan destroy and dismantle this girl's lies? Fucking hysterical.



But it was funny.



How many of those do you have?

Too many.





It's the same virus.



Geez, she looks PISSED.

That exclamation mark probably means she's about ready to murder us.

Going back...



This is the right answer.



I apparently own the CyberMetro. Who would have thought?





You'll need to explain that we broke up, you realize this? Stupid yellow mouse Navi.

That's gonna be an interesting conversation. 'Why'd you break up with him? He was perfect kinda weird and a compulsive liar, but he was rich!' 'Actually he was just a stand-in I hired. Weird, right? '





WELP. Here is the dreaded personal question!



Foiled your plan, huh.



Any one of these answers leads to a virus bomb.

Sometimes virus fights are avoidable, sometimes they aren't. There's usually at least one virus fight per request, so I guess this is our forced one.







You know the drill.





Yeah, I think he's on to you.

At this point, it's kinda like everyone knows MegaMan isn't her boyfriend, but they're just going along with it to make it easier for Mousy.







At least she's playing smart by ending this charade now.





This has to be the BEST answer.

Hahahahah YES





















I couldn't resist.

HAHAHAHAHAH YES. Let's see if I can pick them out of the crowd... Mousy, Dude, Female dude, Mom, Mrs. Millions (from BN2), Wily, Bass, I don't know this guy, the BEST version of Dex, and the Golden Mr. Prog.



[Virus fight]



But I didn't get it hit.

The punchline will hit you a second later when she does.







Nope, I'm doing just fine.







I get the feeling she's going to start a matchmaking service in the future.

If we decide to talk to them afterwards?







Best request ever.

I genuinely enjoyed that one. It was fun.
