Absolute Death Game-Chapter 327 - 95 System BUG_2

A few moments later.

Wuming’s elder sent over a laughing emoticon, "Alright, it seems you really are not one to suffer a loss. So be it, I can answer one more question for you, but first you must tell me the whole story of your encounter with Xuan Zhenzi."

Xiao Buli then recounted his killing of Xuan Zhenzi, of course, he omitted the part about joining the Mystic Hollow Palace and simply said he encountered a rare elite in a martial arts hall and killed it for loot.

Wuming’s elder: "I see, I understand. Ask your question."

Xiao Buli thought to himself, what do you understand, at least give an explanation.

"But you still haven’t explained how Xuan Zhenzi turned into an NPC. If he became an NPC, then what you said doesn’t stand at all."

Wuming’s elder: "Xuan Zhenzi is definitely not dead, and he surely has a way to resolve Soul Departure Syndrome. As for the exact method, even I do not know." Wuming’s elder’s words were vague, but he was very certain about Xuan Zhenzi not being dead nor converted; Xiao Buli, however, felt there was a need for analysis. Since Xuan Zhenzi was indeed alive, yet there was an NPC with the same name in the game, could it be he had learned some sort of spell for creating an External Incarnation? A way to create a double in the game to bear the negative effects of Soul Departure Syndrome for him?

The more Xiao Buli thought about it, the more possible it seemed. If that was the case, it would be necessary to find him and inquire in detail about Soul Departure Syndrome. Learning such a spell would be even better. Given his connection with Xuan Zhenzi, perhaps it was indeed possible to succeed. If all else failed, he could still exchange information about the Mystic Hollow Palace with Xuan Zhenzi.

Then he immediately thought of another matter. Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy

Xuanxu Zi had sent him to kill Xuan Zhenzi, but every Xuan Zhenzi he killed was deemed a fake. Could it be that only the player Xuan Zhenzi was the real one, and killing him would complete the Sect mission?

However, if what Wuming’s elder said was true, then this Xuan Zhenzi’s strength must be unfathomable. Killing him would not be easy, and besides, they were all players, and it seemed that malicious PK-ing was not his style. So, if he encountered him, he should perhaps just gather information and leave it at that.

Thinking this, Xiao Buli brought his thoughts back to the previous issue. He was always worried about Ancestral Dragon’s plan. If Ancestral Dragon really gained great power in the game, as an enemy of Ancestral Dragon, he would obviously become dangerous. Therefore, he asked his last question.

"So, my final question, what’s your opinion on Ancestral Dragon’s plan?" Wuming’s elder: "Ancestral Dragon’s plan? You mean ruling the world? Heh, I don’t have much of an opinion on that. This world has many who are full of themselves, organizations and individuals alike, always fond of impractical endeavors."

Xiao Buli savored the elder’s words carefully; it seemed as though he looked down on this Ancestral Dragon quite a bit.

"You think they can’t succeed? They have the Space-Time Gate, after all."

Wuming’s elder: "Compared to what they might gain in the game, I am more concerned about what they might lose in it; they’ll probably die a horrible death."

"How so?"

Wuming’s elder didn’t directly answer his question, but instead asked, "You should know that humans have an immune system, right? When bacteria and viruses enter the body, the immune system automatically attacks these foreign invaders."

Xiao Buli said, "Of course I know, and what you mean is—"

Wuming, the old man: "When monsters or NPCs from the game run into the real world, what’s your first reaction?"

Xiao Buli replied without hesitation, "Of course, it’s to kill them."

Wuming, the old man: "Why?"

Xiao Buli was taken aback. Why kill them? Ridiculous, they are monsters that ran out of the game, you can’t let them... He suddenly realized, right, why was his first reaction to kill them? Although they were monsters from the game, they were also intelligent beings. Why didn’t he think of communicating with them instead of killing them? Was it the fear of the unknown or the instinctive human reaction to eliminate threatening entities at their inception?

Before Xiao Buli could come up with an answer, Wuming, the old man, already responded for him: "Because humans are this world’s immune system. When something appears in our world that shouldn’t belong here, our first instinct is to utterly destroy it. This has been deeply embedded in our genes, not just for the monsters from the game, but even the skills from the game as well. If your abilities became public knowledge, guess what would happen—"

"And in the game world, the same rules apply, only in reverse. There, we become the invaders, and the players and monsters in the game are the native inhabitants, the game system’s immune system. When we enter the game, it’s as if the system has a bug, and the system will automatically correct the bug. So, when the people from Ancestral Dragon enter the game in their true forms, the only outcome is being ganged up on and beaten to death. Regardless of whether they are monsters or NPCs, they won’t hesitate to attack them at that time."

’But we are also in the game when we play,’ Xiao Buli typed out this sentence, ready to send it, but then immediately realized that when playing the game, the players control a clone in the game, which means it is created with the game world’s data or something else, and though it’s controlled by the player, it’s still part of the game. But if the players themselves went in, that’d be a different story.

So after Ancestral Dragon opened the Teleportation Portal and entered the game, they would be attacked by all players and monsters? Even if they possessed modern weapons, they would likely struggle against such assaults.

Xiao Buli then thought of another thing—Zhang Yaoyang and his lot had also entered the game initially. Did they experience the same thing? If so, it wouldn’t be difficult to understand why they were dying one by one in the game. It was just uncertain how many of them were left now.

"If what you’re saying is true, then, if a team of about twenty players went into the game to explore and lasted three months, how many do you think would survive?"

Wuming, the old man: "I’m afraid not a single one would make it."

This statement was like a death sentence for Zhang Yaoyang and his team, but Xiao Buli still held onto a slim hope. Surely, they wouldn’t all be dead, would they? The teammates from the Green Dragon Group were all so skilled and cunning—they should have a few survivors, right?

Wuming, the old man: "Alright, I know what I wanted to know, and I’ve also told you what you wanted to know. I think we’ll end it here for today. I won’t send anyone after you anymore. Obviously, Ancestral Dragon is enough of a problem for you. But let me offer you one last piece of advice. Are you sure you don’t want to join me? I can protect you from Ancestral Dragon’s pursuit, help you fight against the damage of Soul Departure Syndrome, and even grant you greater Strength in the game."

It sounded tempting, but Xiao Buli still chose to decline. He was not willing to let others control his fate anymore.

"I’m sorry, I’m afraid I cannot agree. I have my own plans. Since someone has cured Soul Departure Syndrome before, then it’s not impossible for me to succeed."

Wuming, the old man: "Young man, let me leave you with a parting thought. Sometimes there’s but a fine line between confidence and not recognizing the situation."

Xiao Buli laughed when he saw the words on the screen, retorting: "Old man, let me offer you a saying as well. Sometimes there’s but a fine line between wisdom and being too set in your ways."
