âHuh?â
Lin Yan was startled by his words.
There were many players?
Why hadnât she seen any?
This game couldnât have gone public yet!
If it had, she was certain that the whole world would have known.
âYou donât know a great deal of things. You donât have to be so curious right now. You will find out in due course,â the man replied with a rare smile.
If he hadnât phrased it in such a way, perhaps Lin Yan wouldnât have been so intrigued.
Could there be a secret behind the game?
How could he stop her from being curious? Didnât he know that other than cats, women were the most curious creatures?
The more the man refused to tell her, the more she wanted to ask.
âBoss! Boss... Master... Please tell me...â Lin Yan implored the man earnestly.
The man massaged his temples as he scanned Lin Yanâs face with a frown. âYou have a lot of curiosity.â
Lin Yan chuckled softly. âIâm merely trying to understand the companyâs operations. This will help me work harder for the company!â
âWhat do you want to know?â the man asked, looking defeated.
âPlayers! Where are the players? I didnât meet anyone at all. If I had, I wouldnât have died!â Lin Yan said hurriedly.
âHow could you escape death?â asked the man.
âI could give the players money to help me defeat the characters,â Lin Yan replied smugly.
The man mulled over her words for some time. Gravely, he raised his head and answered, âThis game isnât like the games youâve played before.â
Lin Yan certainly knew that it was different.
She had played games for years and she could master any game in days. However, she had hardly fallen in love with any of the games that she had played before. She was willing to play this simulation game for the rest of her life!
âOrdinary players will stay hidden. Perhaps one of the characters was a player. You can never tell,â the man explained.
âHidden? Why would they hide?â Lin Yan couldnât comprehend.
âBecause itâs dangerous,â answered the man in a silky voice.
Lin Yan was speechless...
After beating around the bush, she still had no idea why the game was dangerous.
âMost of the top players have their own camps. In the game, they are usually the most dangerous. Hence, itâs not a bad thing if you didnât meet any,â the man answered.
Then, he clamped his mouth shut no matter how hard Lin Yan tried to entice him to explain more.
In the end, Lin Yan could only give up.
She would still have many opportunities in the future. Even if he didnât want to tell her, she was confident that she would be able to figure it out.
...
After Lin Yan got back to Cloud Manor, she began to research more about virtual reality and simulation games. However, her search yielded no results.
Lin Yan got suspicious. This game was revolutionary. It could be a pioneer in a whole new genre of games. Even if it wasnât ready, it wasnât possible that no results were generated by her research.
What was going on?
