The lifespan for this type of game was relatively short. Normally, non-paying players would leave around the middle part of the game. A small number of people would persist until the later stages until they were defeated by the grind. Due to the lack of content, paying players would eventually feel bored and tired, choosing to leave in the end.

This type of online game was like mushrooms after the rain in year 2055. They were more like a form of consumables with Type A promotion, Type C content, and Type Z management. However, they did receive acknowledgement from the market because the product itself was not wrong, and people needed this kind of product. Non-paying customers approached them for novelty, and paying customers could enjoy the game while it lasted. The management was only in it for the initial haul and did not plan to support the game long term, while the blue collars at the gaming studios depended on cases like level grinding or money grinding for survival. Everyone had their own needs, and around half a year later, a new consumable would arrive on the market to replace the old one.

"I guess that’s a good thing in a way. If you level up too fast, no one is going to train with me," Xiao Tan replied. "By the way, Brother Jue, the Winchester is still with me. I’ll return it to you in the next scenario."

Actually, the two pistols that Xiao Tan had grabbed from the gun store were still in his inventory, but it had been more appropriate to use the Winchester inside the basketball court.

"You can hold onto it for a while. I’m going to fix some stuff and log off," Feng Bujue said.

"Huh? But it’s only 2:30 am," Xiao Tan complained. He meant that it was still early. Even if they played until 4 am, that was one and a half hours in real life. Translated into the game, that would be fifteen hours of gaming time. It was more than enough to handle a long scenario.

"You said earlier that you’re level twelve with two thousand EXP, yes?" Feng Bujue said. "Then, you need less than 10,000 EXP to reach level thirteen. You should go and play another two scenarios, and if possible, try to get a new title."

He paused for a second before continuing. "I... have something to think about..."

That reason did not sound that convincing, but Xiao Tan accepted it. He was familiar with Feng Bujue’s personality. If he felt like telling, he would not hold back, but if he did not, he would not breathe a word even if someone tried forcing him, so he knew that pressing it would be futile. "Okay then, I’ll leave the team."

"Hmm, goodbye," Feng Bujue told him. Xiao Tan bade farewell before leaving the team.

Feng Bujue opened his friend list. Of the four names, three were offline; they were Long Aomin, Passing Rain, and Laughing Soul. Wang Tanzhi’s status also soon changed from ’free’ to ’in-game’.

He turned to look at the ’recent players’. Other than his friends, there were also Invincible Champion, Atobe-sama, and Ming Zi, whom he had met after logging into this session. Pan Feng and Hwa Xiong were there as well, but their status was offline. Feng Bujue suspected that they were merely appearing offline, but he did not send an email to confirm that suspicion. He believed that there would not be an answer even if he did, much less expecting them to accept his friend request.

Feng Bujue was distracted by the thoughts implanted in his mind by 23 and lost the mood to play. He was in a hurry to rush to get the reward. He opened the game menu and logged out.

Going offline in sleeping mode would prompt the system to ask the players who did not want to sleep anymore, "Would you like to be woken up from your sleep?"
