Chapter 48 - Chip

However, Lin Shuang didn’t care about this. He was just a little vexed. He had thought that he could obtain heaven-defying equipment and soar into the sky. Now, it seemed that it was just a fool’s dream.

“Of course, as compensation, you can take this crystal core away. I hope that God’s blessing will allow you to contribute to Juxiang City.” This was useless to Leonard, but Lin Shuang was a little interested, so he took the crystal core away without hesitation.

“System Notification: You have successfully completed the mission: Hidden mission of Juxiang City’s City Lord—Mysterious Treasure Box. As you are the first player to complete this mission, the system reward: Charm +10. The system will make a full-service announcement. Do you want to hide the player’s name?”

Unexpectedly, he had to report the completion of the hidden mission. For the past few days, the server’s announcements seemed to be about his achievement. The winds howl around the highest peaks. Perhaps there would be endless battles next.

“Hide.” As soon as he finished speaking, a message sounded in the entire server.

“Ding! System Announcement: Congratulations to player XXX (Hidden) for completing the mission: Hidden mission of Juxiang City’s City Lord—Mysterious Treasure Box. You have successfully cleared it. As the first player to complete this mission, you have received the system reward: Charm +10! At the same time, you have received a special reward from Juxiang City’s City Lord, Leonard!”

Lin Shuang stirred up another commotion, but he was not knocked out by this wave. Instead, he felt his hungry stomach rumble and exited the game.

At this moment, Fatty and Lu Wan also completed some missions one after another. The two of them cooperated well and quickly reached Level 13. Lin Shuang, who was the first to leave the game, looked at Fatty, who was still engrossed in the game world. He could not help but sigh. His mind was filled with things about the God Clan, replaying the three scenes over and over again.

For some reason, he felt that the God Clan’s invasion came from the man on the throne. The apocalypse five years later was not the war between immortals and demons that he had imagined.

As the God Clan of an advanced civilization, they used the Glory game to set up a setup. They planted coordinates one by one and built a worm bridge to invade Earth with advanced algorithms.

In the eyes of Earthlings, it was like a god who had destroyed the world. In fact, that was not the case. The people who had awakened had only obtained an algorithmic breakthrough, but they had not reached the advanced level of the God Clan’s algorithm.

Just as he was engrossed in his thoughts, he suddenly realized that the crystal core he had obtained from the box was tightly clenched in his palm. He had actually brought it to reality! The crystal core that had lost its light had turned into a chip. Lin Shuang suddenly had an idea. If he could decipher this chip, would he be able to know the secrets of the God Clan?

Lin Shuang immediately jumped up from the chair, walked to Fatty’s side, and patted him. “Fatty, quickly go offline. I have something to tell you!”

After a round of torture, Fatty reluctantly went offline. He took off his helmet and frowned. “Seriously, I just killed a monster with Lu Wan and am about to level up to Level 14!” Fatty’s face was filled with resentment, and his flat face became even sadder.

Lin Shuang narrowed his eyes calmly. “I’ll bring you and Lu Wan to level up later. I’m hungry. Let’s eat first and I’ll tell you something very important.”

Fatty could feel his stomach growling in protest. “We’re eating anyway. Lu Wan has been farming monsters with me for the entire day. She probably hasn’t eaten either. Why don’t we bring her along?”

It was difficult to walk alone. With Lu Wan, a Priest healer who kept healing him, Fatty’s combat strength had increased a lot.

“Sure.” Patting Fatty on the shoulder, Lin Shuang left first and called Lu Wan.

When the two of them arrived at the nearby restaurant, Lu Wan had just reached the door. The three of them ordered a table of food. While waiting for the dishes, Lin Shuang told them his plan.

“I just completed a mission and obtained a crystal core. I originally thought that these were all virtual items in the game, but I didn’t expect to bring them out. He pursed his lips, his face serious.

Fatty looked at him in surprise. “Are you okay?” How could things in the game be brought to reality?

“At first, I was also very surprised, but I really brought it out.” As he spoke, Lin Shuang opened his clenched hand. There was a chip in his hand. “You might not believe it, but I think this chip is very likely to be the core secret of Glory. Of course, it can’t be a cheat.” He wanted to study what secrets this chip contained, but it was very difficult to decipher with his lousy skills. “I want to find a more authoritative organization or a studio that can contract this research mission to decipher the secrets inside.”

Fatty was instantly dumbfounded. It was not a small fee to decipher the chip. “Those authoritative organizations will never accept a personal job like yours. If you want to find such a high-end studio, this chip will cost at least 100,000 yuan.”

At the thought that the two of them had just established a studio and had to take out more than 100,000 to research the chip, Fatty’s heart ached. His expression became very difficult at a visible speed.

Seeing this scene, Lu Wan was at a loss. She knew that Lin Shuang was not joking, but this chip was brought out of the game. It was really unbelievable. “I know a relatively powerful studio. Speaking of which, it can be considered a previous network. Not only is it extremely skilled, but it’s also very efficient. However, the fees are still relatively high. If you want to try, I can introduce you.”

As long as he could decipher the secret in this chip, he would pay any price. In the face of the apocalypse five years later, life was the most precious. No amount of money could stop this calamity. If he spent some money now and could stop this calamity, wouldn’t he be profiting?

“That’s great!”

The table was filled with dishes. Because Lin Shuang’s matter had been settled, he ate heartily.

Fatty, on the other hand, suddenly lost his appetite. The whirlwind during meal time was like a small fan without electricity at this moment. His ears dropped and his huge head was lowered. No one knew what he was thinking.

After a storm, the three of them quickly arrived at this studio.

The studio’s decoration was very simple. After the receptionist brought them into the office, they realized that the studio’s director was also playing Glory.

His level was considered outstanding. The director had chosen a Mage class and did not spend any money. Under the circumstances of Level 9, he could still fully equip himself with Green equipment. It was all thanks to killing monsters and picking up equipment. It was enough to show his ability.

They had been waiting at the side for a long time. Even the secretary couldn’t stand it anymore. The beautiful woman had thick curly hair and was wearing a neat business suit. A trace of anger appeared on her exquisite facial features.

“It’s fine if you’ve been working hard on games every day recently, but business has come knocking on your door. Why are you still playing games?”
