Chapter 59 Deceiving Government

'The meeting with Dr. Elmer was like a big roller coaster.'

After Alex left the hospital, he decided to walk to his home to give himself proper time to think about a plan as to how he was going to tell his family about his sister's condition.

'Mother will easily believe any of my lies, so I could tell her trust mixed with enough lies, so she doesn't get too worried about Sophia, and father will not ask for details if Sophia stays healthy.'

'Mom and Sophia should take a while to return home from their shopping, so in that time, I should go and pay the money for the Life Serum treatment.' Alex thought after reaching home.

-----------------

After Alex logged back into the game world, he was welcomed by two system notifications.

[Ice Kindom Anousment]

[Seven Hours are left before Dark]

'I forget that there is a night cycle in this world.' Alex thought after seeing the system notification.

'The Night cycle is only going to last for twenty hours, and in that time, I should be done with Sophia Life Serum treatment.' Alex thought as he left his luxury bed to stretch his body before going to the Golden Eagle Guild house.

Ancient World is a giant planet, and every continent in it has a very different Night and day cycle as the human continent has daytime for thirty days and night time only for twenty hours.

Every big Continent has a different day and night cycle, but the daytime is always much longer than the night on every continent.

It was definitely weird for new players, but the NPCs didn't have any problem with the day and night cycle because it was just a normal part of their life.

'Let's search if the Golden Eagle Guild has any branch in Ice kingdom.' After a quick search on the game forum, Alex found a Golden Eagle guild branch in one of the big cities.

'Crystalmore City should have a teleportation tower.' Alex thought after seeing the name of the city with the guild branch.

'I hope the Golden Eagle guild would act according to my plan; otherwise, my little plan would get delayed.'

"It worked just as the rummer said." Alex thought with a big smile after he used the Record specimen skill on himself, recording his game avatar appearance.

'Now the government would never doubt even if they found my real game avatar.' Alex thought as he changed his Recorded specimen's name to Reaper and his hair color to white.

Alex knew that Ai Zero didn't give players' data to anyone and protect it, but he also didn't stop anyone from creating records of the player's game and real-life profiles.

Some big guilds kept records of their member's real-life profiles, but guilds that the government controlled used every chance to find the real identity of any player to whom they sold any of their services.

The government said they recorded the real-life profile to help the player, but everyone with a bit of brain knew they recorded the profiles to use against the players if needed.

Alex was going to use this chance to make the government record his fake profile in their profile database so that in the future, when he would do some world-renowned things, the government would be trying to look for the identity of a ghost.

'This should be enough to fool them.' After changing into his fake avatar, Alex left the hotel toward the teleportation tower.

After getting teleported to Crystalmore city, Alex went straight to the Golden Eagle branch guild house.

'This Guild house should be built using Gold Guild Token.' Alex thought, standing outside a giant mansion.

"Do you have any Business with Golden Eagle Guild?" A guild member doing the guard's duty asked as Alex approached the mansion door.

"I am here to buy Life Serum treatment."

"You do know that for a one-time treatment, it costs twenty thousand gold coins?" The Player asked, and after seeing Alex's head nod, he opened the mansion gate.

"Follow me." The Player led Alex inside the mansion.

--------------------

"Mr.Reaper, Before we discuss the Life Serum treatment, please place your hand on this crystal." Alex was sitting in front of a Golden Eagle guild officer responsible for dealing with customers.

'An Epic Grade Reality crystal.' Alex thought, seeing the misty white crystal.

The Reality crystals were used to check if a player was using an appearance-changing item.

Golden Eagle guild was using it for the same purpose as they wanted to record accurate player profile data.

'It would not even detect the illusion made by a low-quality unique item, let alone do anything about my appearance.' Alex thought as he placed his hand on the misty crystal.

"Now, please place your hand on this crystal as you answer some of my questions." The Guild officer asked as he placed a golden crystal on the table.

'A Unique Quality Truth Crystal.' Alex was shocked, looking at the golden memorizing crystal.

'The Guild would never use such high-quality truth crystal with limited time usage on any random customer, which should mean the guild higher-ups want some true answers from me.' Alex thought.

'I didn't think the government would show this much interested in me.'

'I just hope he doesn't ask me any problematic questions that could mess with my perfect plan.'

Alex knew he could lie very well, but lying and not getting discovered by the unique quality truth crystal was impossible.

The crystal didn't check the changes in the body, but it reacts to the person's body mana, and mana reacts differently to every emotion, so the only way to fool the truth crystal was to control the mana inside one body which was impossible before reaching the fourth Rank.

"Officer Eimir, Please ask The Questions," Alex said as he placed his hand on the golden crystal.

"Mr.Reaper, Please tell me your real-life name, as it is necessary for my guild to confirm the real identity of every player who wants to buy Life Serum treatment."

"My Real Life name is Alex Crawford, and My Social Security number is *********," Alex replied, knowing he needed to answer.

After getting no reaction from the truth crystal, Eimir asked the next question Alex knew would be coming soon.

"Mr.Reaper, you joined the game world just a few days ago, so How did you gain so much money?"

"Please answer truthfully because if you have signed a slave contract, only the government could help you," Eimir said with a smile on his face acting as friendly as he could.

'He already knows I got the money after selling the Instances dungeon.'

"I gained the money by selling an Instances Dungeon that I accidentally discovered."

Alex intentionally revealed the information about him finding an instance dungeon and selling it because it would act as the perfect cover for any amount of money he would withdraw in the future.

The government would never find out about his deal with the frozen flower guild, and after they recorded his game profile as Reaper, he could do anything as (Hidden One) in the game, and no one would ever link his real game avatar to his real life.

"All the Instances dungeon entry tokens are sold, and I can't tell you anything about the buyer because of a strict agreement."

Alex didn't lie as he did Singh an agreement with Aster not to reveal any information about their guild being the dungeon buyer.

------------

Eimir POV.

After Alex answered, Eimir kept looking at the truth crystal for any reaction, but the crystal stayed the same and didn't react.

'This Poor bastard sold all the entry tokens to a single guild and even sighed a contract.' Eimir shouted in his mind but didn't show it on his face.

Eimir was disappointed after seeing no reaction, as this was different from what he expected.

'The bonus I hoped to get from the guild just turned to dust.'

The purpose of using a truth crystal was to prove that Alex has some Instances dungeon entry tokens left that their guild could buy from him using the Life Serum treatment as the bargaining chip.

'I even bragged to that bastard about getting a big promotion in a short time, but now because of this greedy bastard, I will get humiliated.' Eimir was really angry after confirming Alex had sold all the dungeon entry tokens.

'I got the orders to acquire the Instance dungeon entry tokens, but if I could find the name of the guild that bought the entry token, I could still save some face in front of guild elders.'

'This idiot did Singh a non-disclosure agreement with that guild, and if he told me any information, his gaming career would be pretty badly destroyed, but that's not my problem.'

'He needs the Life Serum treatment, and he has no choice but to reveal that guild name to me.'

'It is because of you I will be humiliated by that bastard, but it gives me some comfort knowing your greediness will screw over your whole gaming career.'

'This would happen because you got too greedy after acquiring a lucky opportunity even though you are just a useless poor bastard.'

'I couldn't wait for you to despair and beg me for help.' Eimir thought with an evil smirk.
