Chapter 401 106 Even in Science Fiction Works, Settings that Are Not Easily Adopted

Chapter 401 106. Even science fiction works dare not easily adopt settings

"Qiu Yun, send Minister Norfolk's coffee over, and you can go home today."

"Okay."

Xia Yubing immediately put on a professional smile, put the coffee on the cart, and pushed it to the elevator, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"Is this an online game? Why do I feel as tired as going to work?"

Xia Yubing muttered, this government employee's professional skirt is not very comfortable, but seeing that it can provide [avoid harassment] status, she just endured it.

After her investigation during this period of time, the cause of death of the body she recruited, 'Qiu Yun', was not simple. In addition to being exhausted due to overtime work, there were also some female colleagues with bad intentions.

Taking advantage of the time to take the elevator, Xia Yubing opened the system's built-in memo and checked the evidence she collected.

"Evidence A: [Recording] - Qiu Yun's female colleagues Vivian and Andy are jealous of Qiu Yun's rapid promotion and have been making things difficult for her at work. This includes but is not limited to: giving her a lot of odd jobs, preventing Qiu Yun from communicating with her superiors, excluding Qiu Yun from participating in group activities, and splashing paint on her uniform a few minutes before a public event... This can be called workplace bullying."

"Evidence B: [Chat Record] - On the day of President David Lin's inauguration, Lilith, a newcomer who Qiu Yun had led, planned to have Qiu Yun anger foreign guests while serving and disrupt the inauguration ceremony - this also involved Lilith being suspected of being an undercover agent planted by foreign spies."

Qiu Yun's origin and her death were already pitiful, which made Xia Yubing, a person who had never played games, feel distressed. After investigating these truths, he was even more indignant.

"Don't worry, Qiu Yun, I will definitely give you justice! I will definitely help you find your sister."

Fortunately, she is not alone. Her companions in the club are all from the Frost Plating class. After forming a guild, they launched an efficient leveling and monster-killing operation.

As for the whereabouts of her sister, it is still unknown. But Xia Yubing believes that with the increasing number of players, there will be relevant news soon.

It is worth mentioning that the four countries have already noticed the appearance of a group of "descenders", but after research, the four countries believe that this is a disease and has no major impact.

In a sense, players are much more honest than ordinary citizens.

In fact, most players descended to the outside world, and the number of real players in the four countries is only one-quarter. The characters who were recruited were basically marginalized people in society.

At first, when players learned about this setting, they were quite horrified, but as many players found that the characters they recruited were either dead or dying-after that, no one cared about it.

In a country with more than 600 million people, nearly 8 million people die every year, even if they die naturally, and there are probably about 100,000 accidental deaths. In addition to the coldness of the outside world, lack of natural light, and cancer-the appearance of players has reduced the mortality rate by several percentage points.

In the initial stage of the public beta, the number of registered players was only a few million, so the appearance of the public beta players did not attract much attention at the beginning.

Players like to charge into battle, which makes them inclined to take on dangerous jobs. Being a desperado is the most common part-time job behavior for players, which has dealt a heavy blow to many black forces.

Although the players are still in a state of urban legend, the thugs in the club can help her a lot at this moment.

The members of the club fought fiercely, using many gray means to get various information from the gangs and the street, and she also relied on her identity as a [government employee] to obtain new government rewards and information for her companions in a timely manner.

Although Xia Yubing is still working in the government department of Frost Plating, and only has a fixed amount of experience to get every day, everyone needs a government informant like her, so Xia Yubing is naturally willing to help.

Opening the friend list, the first thing that comes into view is the "specially concerned" caramel snail, which is sending a new message at this moment.

Caramel Snail: Ah, this mission is so difficult. Everyone is a master who can lock heads with a gun and move as fast as a swallow. It's so stressful to be with them——Read, just now

Xia Yubing took a look at the friend information. Caramel Snail has been upgraded to lv.19, while the only one he can show is [Laborer] at lv.6.

‘Currently, the highest level player on the forum is only lv.20. It seems that the calf is really powerful...’

Thinking like this, Xia Yubing wrote down a line of greetings.

Reply: Did you have fun on the alien planet? ——Read

Caramel Snail: Well, it's okay. But the latest exploration mission is really difficult. Our team of six encountered big trouble when searching for the goblin's nest (see screenshots read

Clicking the screenshot, Xia Yubing immediately saw a thrilling scene: they seemed to be in a dark forest, with dark clouds covering the moon and darkness everywhere. In the first-person perspective of Caramel Snail, some dark red eyes can be clearly seen in the forest, flashing like ghost lights.

... That's it? Xia Yubing thought, it's not as scary as the horror movies she watched in elementary school.

Reply: (typing...)

Caramel Snail: Wow, it's really super scary, I'm most afraid of this kind of scene! ——Read.

Seeing this, Xia Yubing hesitated for a moment and deleted the edited "Any questions?".

Reply: Yes, it's really scary. I feel like I'm going to have a nightmare when I see this kind of scene in the middle of the night!

‘Will my answer seem too contrived? Ziniu doesn’t seem to like this kind of weak tone, right? But if I act too strong, will he think I don’t care about him at all? ’

Xia Yubing thought about it and started typing slowly again: Ziniu, you are so brave. If it were me, I would never dare to go deep into this dark place alone. It’s so scary…

‘Well, it’s really disgusting to say such a soft tone, but if I say this, he only needs to answer: It’s okay, we will go together in the future - this way, we will have the opportunity to make an appointment to play together in the future! ’

Before Xia Yubing finished typing, Caramel Snail uploaded another picture.

‘Huh? What did he send again? It should be a screenshot of the game, right? ’

She downloaded it and clicked it to see:

In the first person, Caramel Snail seemed to have fallen to the ground, and there were some wounds on his body. At this moment, a female player with green hair reached out to Caramel Snail. Her bright facial features and chrome-plated circuit connection lines showed a sharp contrast. She was completely a cyberpunk beauty.

[Blood pressure is rising, pay attention to emotional stability. ]

The blood pressure monitor on the wrist immediately began to alarm.

Caramel Snail: Oh, to be honest, the Goblin Lair is too difficult to fight. Fortunately, everyone does not despise me for being clumsy and has been teaching me and guiding me, especially Cumin Powder, who has saved me several times. Putting aside her personality, she is simply an angel. We have already been wiped out twice since we explored the periphery. We will temporarily set up camp and rest today, and wait for the number of resurrections to reset tomorrow before setting off again. ——Read, just now

Caramel Snail: (typing...)

Caramel Snail: (sending picture) We have set up camp, and my battle today ends here. It’s good to be open beta. Originally, when we were on the inside, we could only go to the forum during the character’s sleep. Now I can play "Red Arrow Miner" and Auto Chess. I won’t say much. Brother Ye Zhangjian wants to pull me to play chess in a double row, so I’ll go first. ——Read

(The other party has left the chat)

"Cumin powder? Angel?"

Xia Yubing sighed, her tone cold.

She zoomed in and looked at the other party's appearance carefully, and compared them countless times in her mind.

She actually looked better, but although Qiu Yun's appearance was mediocre, she was still very beautiful as long as she dressed up.

Xia Yubing patted the flat airport.

"Ah... It's a pity, this is the result of malnutrition."

Xia Yubing shook her head.

She felt more sorry for Qiu Yun after saying this.

Besides, the appearance and figure of the virtual game are fake. Who knows if the other party is a tank, but Zi Niu has really seen himself and knows his image in reality.

After looking around, it seems that he is only a little behind in level. The woman named Cumin powder entered the internal test and was only lv.20. He has only been on the server for a few days and is already lv.6.

Xia Yubing muttered:

"It's just that she entered the game earlier than me."
