Chapter 166 Intermission 35
"You have quit the scenario. For twenty minutes, you are banned from queueing up in any mode. Due to your abandonment of the game, you are not going to gain any rewards."
Those two lines were written on the screen of the log-in lobby.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com
After the Anomaly disappeared, Galileo and Copernicus naturally sensed it. They led Invincible Champion and Ye Zhi happily back to the top of the mountain. They initially wanted to praise Feng Bujue for his brilliant strategy of using the main character’s plot armor against the Anomaly.
The result told them that the Anomaly was not defeated, but Feng Bujue himself had disappeared. Zen Dream, who had observed the whole process from afar, confirmed this. The two GMs were baffled. They did not know how to write the report to their superior. This had never happened before, and it could end up being a serious issue.
In any case, they did not communicate that much, and the players left the scenario consecutively. After all, the GMs had the confidentiality clause to adhere to. If there was a need, they could find Feng Bujue in private to chat, and there was no need for them to say anything before members of a big guild like Regulation.
About twenty minutes after quitting the scenario, Zen Dream’s group, who were still online, heard a strange system announcement.
"The scenario that you were previously in was closed due to an unknown error."
That was a tale for later. For now, Feng Bujue was feeling extremely annoyed as he inspected his status.

"Haha... It hasn’t been that long, only a few days," Feng Bujue replied with a smile.
"You’re right. After you play this game for too long, your concept of time gets messed up." Long Aomin laughed. "I just finished a scenario and saw that you are currently free. How about it? Would you like to group up?"
"Er... Actually, I just abandoned a game, so I can’t join a queue at the moment," Feng Bujue said.
"Huh? How? You abandoned a game?" Long Aomin was confused. "Did you run into extremely weak teammates?"
"It is a long story. It’s too tiring to go through it now," Feng Bujue replied. His answer did not really clarify anything, but it was clear enough that he was not in the mood to discuss it. Long Aomin laughed a few times and very understandably dropped the subject.
Feng Bujue used the chance to change the topic. "By the way, Brother Long, you still remember Passing Rain and Laughing Soul, right?"
"I do. They’re the female warriors from the Haunted House scenario, yes? They have friended me," Long Aomin said.
"They’ve opened a guild with me and Xiao Tan," Feng Bujue explained. "Brother Feng, if you are available..."
"Ah, I’m sorry, I already have a guild." Before Feng Bujue finished, Long Aomin knew what he was going to ask, so as he rejected it, he explained, "My guild is filled with my unit colleagues, so I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t be able to join you."
"Oh, it’s fine. We can still group up together, right?" Feng Bujue said. He did not think that it was wrong. Most people would pull along their real-life friends to play a game, and in the future, playing games together was a common bonding method between colleagues.
But... Long Aomin’s guild was rather unique. He said that his members were all his unit colleagues, and that was true, but they were not colleagues from his police station.
Long Aomin had recently been moved to the internet security unit, and his guild was obviously... a scouting unit for the law enforcement. Due to his previous injury, Long Aomin was spared from field operations, but keeping him as a pen-pusher was a waste of his talent, so... he was moved to this post, which was more suitable for him.
