Chapter 4 establishes the "Pay-to-Win" group, with no budget limit!
The entire lounge can no longer be called a lounge.
It turned into a corner of a slaughterhouse, a warehouse piled high with giant bird carcasses.
The pungent smell of blood aggressively invaded every inch of the space.
In this utterly absurd and deathly silence, Chen You's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
The moment his consciousness returned, he smelled this rich scent of blood.
He subconsciously wrinkled his nose, his vision going from blurry to clear, and then completely frozen.
He saw it.
I saw a room full of "masterpieces".
One, two, three... nine enormous corpses were scattered around the room in various contorted poses.
Broken furniture and splattered dirt became their perfect backdrop.
The scene was more shocking and realistic than any special effects in a horror movie.
"I..." Chen You opened his mouth, but felt his mouth was dry.
He knew that things from the game would appear in reality, but he never expected the scene to be so... spectacular.
This is a big problem.
His first thought was, "Won't I have to pay for the things I've damaged?"
Ignoring the mess inside, Li Guoan shifted his attention from the last chicken carcass and fixed his sharp gaze on Chen You like a nail.
"You killed nine?" Li Guoan asked, his voice eerily calm.
"There are only nine here."
Chen You snapped out of his daze, snapping out of the chaos.
He immediately understood what Li Guoan meant; this leader's observation and judgment were simply superhuman.
He quickly scanned the area, and sure enough, there were exactly nine bodies, no more and no less.
"No." Chen You shook his head.
"I... after I killed the tenth one, I deliberately didn't touch its corpse, and I didn't click the 'pickup' option in the game."
Pick it up.
What was a perfectly normal term to gamers sounded like a thunderbolt to Li Guoan and his assistant.
It reveals yet another fundamental rule of this mysterious game, "The Source Realm".
It won't appear just because you kill it.
Instead, the item is only anchored from the virtual world to the real world after it is killed and "picked up"!
"I see……"
Li Guoan muttered to himself, a knowing glint in his deep eyes.
This explains why only corpses appeared, and not chicken feathers and blood scattered on the ground.
Because in the game rules, only the "corpse" as a whole is "loot" that can be picked up.
The significance of this discovery is even greater than the appearance of the corpse out of thin air itself.
It means that it is controllable.
Chen You has the right to choose; he can choose what to bring back and what to leave in that game world.
Li Guoan's mind was racing, with countless possibilities and inferences colliding in his head.
Since biological corpses are acceptable, then...
"Your equipment." Li Guoan's question went straight to the point, without any preamble.
"Could you use the same method to claim the rewards you received for your first purchase?"
This question caught Chen You off guard.
Yes.
What about the equipment?
He was so focused on having fun that he didn't think about this issue at all.
If the equipment could also be brought out...
The thought of that iron sword that could instantly kill the giant chicken made Chen You's heart race uncontrollably.
This is much more valuable than a pile of chicken!
He immediately raised his left hand and looked at the antique silver bracelet on his wrist.
There was still only a lonely "Enter Game" icon on the screen, with no options for "Inventory" or "Warehouse".
"Is that not okay?" Li Guoan pressed, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.
"I...I'll give it a try." Chen You said, somewhat uncertainly.
He closed his eyes, forcing himself to calm down, and recalled the feeling of playing the game.
In that world, he only needed a thought to bring up various menu interfaces.
What about in the real world?
Will this bracelet, as the sole login device, also respond to one's "thoughts"?
He concentrated and issued instructions in his mind.
"Open your backpack."
No response.
Open your inventory.
The bracelet remained completely unresponsive.
Is that not allowed?
Do I have to be in the game to play?
Chen You's heart sank.
wrong.
Li Guoan's fingers can pass through the bracelet, which proves that the bracelet itself is not a completely physical entity, but more like a mental or conscious interface.
Therefore, the communication method may not be a simple "command".
Chen You changed his approach.
He stopped thinking about those gaming terms and focused all his attention on the purest and most direct thought: "I need my sword."
He imagined the shape of the iron sword, its cold touch, and its weight in his hand.
Suddenly, a strange sense of connection came through the bracelet from his left arm.
He seemed to "see" it.
Deep within his mind, a virtual grid interface made of light unfolded out of thin air.
It's his equipment and item inventory in the game!
Really!
A surge of joy welled up inside Chen You, and he almost couldn't help but open his eyes and shout it out.
He suppressed his excitement, focused his mind on the icon of the iron sword, and then issued an action command.
"take out."
The next moment, he felt a slight weight on his right palm, and a cold, hard sensation appeared out of nowhere.
Chen You suddenly opened his eyes.
In the lounge, Li Guoan and his assistant were staring intently at him.
Under their gazes, Chen You slowly raised his right hand.
He held a simple iron sword, which gleamed with a chilling light, firmly in his hand.
The iron sword looked dusty and of poor quality, but it gave people a sense of natural perfection.
The sword possesses a quality that transcends modern earthly craftsmanship.
And that's how it came about.
To create something from nothing.
"Grunt..."
A soft sound broke the deathly silence of the room.
It was that young assistant who couldn't help but swallow.
He froze, staring intently at the sword in Chen You's hand.
As an elite who had undergone the most rigorous training, he had seen far too many bizarre scenes.
But what he was seeing before him had completely shattered the worldview he had built up over the past twenty years.
This is a miracle.
Or rather, magic.
Li Guoan did not look at his subordinate who had lost his composure.
He stood ramrod straight, and his eyes, which were always as steady as a mountain, were now churning with turbulent waves.
He walked step by step to Chen You, without touching the sword, but simply extended a finger and stopped less than a centimeter away from the blade.
He could sense a faint, yet palpable, sharpness emanating from the sword's edge.
"This material..." Li Guoan's voice was a little hoarse as he tried to analyze, "is not any known alloy on Earth."
Although it was just a visual inspection, based on his many years of experience, he was certain that the reflectivity and density of this metal were definitely not ordinary.
Even a beginner's iron sword has surpassed the current understanding of human materials science.
What about even more advanced weapons?
Li Guoan slowly withdrew his hand and closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, all the shock and horror had vanished, replaced by an unprecedented determination and passion.
He finally fully understood the meaning of this "game".
It is the key to another level of civilization, another dimension!
What it can bring is the ultimate leap forward of the entire Chinese civilization, and even human civilization!
Li Guoan turned around and took the dedicated line cell phone out of his pocket again.
His movements were steady and powerful, each key press carrying an unwavering will.
The call was connected.
"It's me, Li Guoan."
"Activate the highest level of response. Immediately establish the 'Source Realm' special task force. Authorization level: Extreme One."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed stunned by the instruction, and there was a brief silence.
Without waiting for any questions, Li Guoan issued his second instruction in a resolute tone.
"From this moment forward, this task force has only one mission: to spare no effort and mobilize all resources to fully support the sole executor, Chen You, in exploring the 'Origin Realm'."
He paused, glanced at Chen You, who was gripping his sword and equally shocked, and added the most crucial sentence.
"The codename for this task force is 'Kryptonite'."
"The budget for project-specific funds...is unlimited!"
