Chapter 332: Awaken to a new world? Part 12

SLIA and the Virtual World Part 6

/*unedited*/

Another week has passed in a blink of an eye and a new advertisement can be seen in almost all media platforms within City H and on many types of media around the country.

This news was further spread through word of mouth and in social media.

The news is actually just a simple game. However, what makes it different from other games is the way it is played.

The advertisement video, when it was played everyone was stunned. They were all flabbergasted at the scene they are seeing on their phones or on TV.

This is because, what they are seeing is not a virtual world, but instead a live-action scene.

"How is this done?"

"This is impossible…"

"I think this is not a game… I think it's a movie."

"Idiot, look at the banner, it says it's a game."

Different reactions immediately bombarded the comments sections of the video presentation.

…

NXT Element building…

Susan Tang has been swamp with work right at this moment as she didn't have time to rest. But what she noticed is that she seems to be always full of energy until the end of the day.

Unknown to her, of course, Shin Jiao installed a Qi and natural energy gathering array in her office. Although she could not cultivate it, the energy inside the room could still replenish her normal energy consumption with ease.

Suddenly the door opened and a pretty little head pops out.

"Umm… Mam, the representative from the Quantum Advance Corporation is already here." her secretary said.

"Yes, let them in." Susan Tang said while waving her hand.

Quantum Advance Corporation is a huge company that focuses mainly on gaming console and software. They have cooperated with many console companies all over the globe to produce or retail gaming products. From the list of the companies that wanted to work with NXT Element, they are the biggest surprise.

How could Susan Tang expect to gain the attention of Quantum Advance Corporation? Her company is just a small company.

Two middle-aged men and a young beautiful woman in her 20's entered the office. When the three entered a surprised expression can be seen on their faces.

"Did you feel that?" the woman whispered to the two.

The two also nodded confirming that she is not the only one who felt that sensation.

"Ah, Welcome! I'm Susan Tang the CEO of NXT Element." Susan Tang said she welcomed the group.

After they were seated, the three were offered coffee immediately and began to discuss the initial plan of the cooperation. From the looks of it, it seems that the woman is the leader of this team. Not long later they have arrived in a win-win solution.

"Well, Miss Tang it seems that your company has gained the attention of our higher-ups. And we are glad to be working with you." the woman said with a smile.

"Yes, as I looked at your detailed plan. And I agree I was impressed. I didn't expect that your prestigious company is very… accommodating."

"Haha… Actually we are very interested in the future. What you have, I would not deny it, is the future… When I've read the information and the technology I was truly amazed that something like that could be made… May I ask who the inventor is?" the woman asked.

"Oh, he is here… I don't know if he is still busy. I already sent him a message."

"Message? Why not call him?"

"Oh… He… he's a bit eccentric when he is working he didn't want to be disturbed."

"Oh, I see…"

Suddenly, the office door slowly opens and the handsome face of Shin Jiao appears entering.

"Shin, are you done?" Susan Tang asked a bit surprised.

She didn't truly expect Shin Jiao would appear right at this moment.

"Yeah, you've messaged me about some important stuff, so I quickly walked here."

"Oh, let me introduce to you… This is…" Susan Tang said but suddenly stopped upon noticing something odd.

The three people in front of her suddenly stood up and faced Shin Jiao.

Then suddenly one of the middle-aged men jumps up and directly dashed towards Shin Jiao, while the other two took out from their briefcases retractable electric batons.

"Take them alive!" shouted the young woman.

When the middle-aged man arrived in front of Shin Jiao, he showed a huge grin on his face and punches directly towards Shin Jiao's head.

While the other two after taking out their batons ran towards Susan Tang.

Bang!

Peng! Peng!

The sound of collision reverberated through the air as two figures suddenly went flying towards the man who assaulted Shin Jiao. The man was surprised and didn't have time to dodge as he was hit by the figures of both man and woman flying towards him.

Shin Jiao is now standing in front of Susan Tang protecting her.

"Who are you people, and what do you want?" Susan who was stunned suddenly regained her composure.

"Haha… You cannot escape us. Our mission is to capture the two of you and we have not failed any missions, so far." The woman said as she stood up holding her stomach.

The three have infiltrated the NXT Element building in the hope to capture the mind behind the Virtual World. That is their mission and the reason why they were sent to this place.

"We advise you two to surrender and we will not hurt you… I promise." The woman said with a smile.

However, Shin Jiao can see the hidden meaning under her smiling face.

Without a word, Shin Jiao took out a pendant on his pocket and handed it over to Susan Tang.

"No matter what happened. Don't let go of this," he said in a low tone.

He then turns his gaze towards the three people. However, his expression was relaxed as if he didn't put the three in his eyes.

With Shin Jiao's strength, he would be bullying the three people so he didn't want to bother with them any further than he should.

"I have to finish this as soon as possible. I advise the three of you to come and attack together," he said with a taunting gesture.

His nonchalance expression and action ticks off the three's anger as their expression turns cold. With a nod of her head, the young woman suddenly dashes towards Shin Jiao along with the two middle-aged men in a formation.

Shin Jiao suddenly noticed that the three seems weird as their countenance suddenly changed.

This is earth and from his experience, he knew that there are no cultivators on this planet. He can also tell that the atmosphere of the earth lacks strong Qi or natural energy which can easily advance or train a cultivator.

This is because there is something different about the earth. Shin Jiao knew it however he could not explain what it is. It seems that there is a powerful force limiting the Qi and natural energy on the planet.

But right now in front of him are three people who seem to have cultivated Qi in their bodies. But the Qi in their bodies seems to be not enough for them to be called a cultivator.

"Hmm… This is interesting…" Shin Jiao thought.

When they arrived in front of him, the three began throwing their punches and kicks. Although Shin Jiao's still has his amnesia, he didn't slack off from cultivating. Hence within his mind, he already practiced some of the basic fighting techniques he remembers.

With the movement of his hands, he blocks each and every attack sent to him. Blocking and countering each blow with ease as if he is just playing around with the three people.

"Damn it! The report was wrong! This guy is not easy to handle." One of the middle-aged men shouted while holding his arm.

He can feel a throbbing pain within his arms and hands. It was as if his bones were cracked.

The woman is also holding her hands as they have currently turned red.

"Shit! What is that guy's hand made of? It's like hitting a metal rod." She thought.

Their electric rods are even useless against him as he didn't even flinch after getting hit by 1,000 volts of electricity.

So now the three of them felt a bit helpless. Their mission was to take the two alive. But it seems that they can only turn to tactics since they are facing someone who is more powerful than them. As if with a tacit understanding, the woman raised her hand and signaled the two.

Running left and right, the three rushed towards Shin Jiao. Suddenly, the woman dashed past him and directly ran towards Susan Tang who was caught by surprise.

Their goal has changed and she would now take the young CEO of the company as a hostage. That way, she can hold the young man and subdue him without a fight. From the way she saw it, the strong young man seems to be concerned with the young company CEO's well-being.

So she will bank on her intuition and take Susan Tang as a hostage.

She immediately arrives in front of Susan Tang with an evil grin on her face.

Shin Jiao stood without moving as he is confident of the pendant he gave Susan Tang. However, what he didn't expect are her panic and reaction.

Seeing the approaching figure, Susan Tang actually panics and suddenly waved her hand to stop the young woman from approaching her.

As she waved her hand she accidentally lets go of the pendant on her hand.

Pow!
