Simulation Game: Crisis Management-Chapter 258 - 136: Patching the Game (Part 2)

The true meaning behind the appearance of the "Crisis Management Game".

Gu Ji still can't figure it out.

Ever since he got the game, its content has been continually updated with levels and versions. Until now, he hasn't fully understood all of the game's content.

There's just too little intelligence information to make reasonable and effective evaluations and judgments.

Very soon.

The fifteen-second countdown passed.

[Game patch update successful!]

Gu Ji decided to test whether the game really fixed the bug, so he sent another barrage about the main storyline of the game's mission.

Just as he was about to press the send button.

A prompt suddenly popped up in front of him:

[Players, please do not disclose main storyline information of game levels to "yourself" or guide "yourself" to act, otherwise you will face severe game penalties, up to the revocation of your game qualification!]

Revoke qualification?

Isn't that just banning...

Gu Ji looked at the last few words, and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

In normal games, banning for exploiting bugs for rewards is quite normal, but the "Crisis Management Game" is really special. He now has a lot of game-related memories in his head, and even many abilities, knowledge, and attribute enhancements all come from the game.

So what's meant by "revoking qualification"? Does it mean that he can't continue playing the game or entering levels, or does it also mean taking away his memories, abilities, and enhancements?

No matter which one.

It's not something Gu Ji can handle right now.

As the saying goes: "Easy to move from frugality to luxury, difficult to move from luxury to frugality."

Once you've experienced the fast way to become stronger, if the shortcut disappears, that huge psychological gap is not something that can be adjusted in a few days or half a month.

Many gamblers end up deeply trapped because of this very reason.

Obtaining money through gambling is much easier than working.

Although Gu Ji hasn't fallen into the mindset of a gambler.

But don't forget, the crash of his father's plane was a big blow to him. The reason he was able to adjust, and firmly believe that his father was temporarily missing for some reason, not dead, was because of the confidence brought by the "Crisis Management Game"!

Seeing firsthand the game's ability to predict the future, reflect reality, and influence the past, made Gu Ji optimistically believe:

One day, he will be able to find his dad with these abilities!

Collecting his scattered thoughts,

Gu Ji continued to seriously watch the "Baron" live stream. Although he couldn't continue to reveal main storyline information to the other party, it didn't mean he couldn't send barrage to communicate with "Baron".

Besides, the game didn't explicitly say whether indirectly leaking information through others counts as a violation, or he could simply find a few helpers to go to New York to assist "himself", and the system wouldn't be able to control it.

This is where the value of that mysterious computer comes in.

If he could have a device right now that couldn't be tracked, and randomly contact Wa Xueming, letting him go to New York to help "himself", that would feel amazing.

You know.

This bomb level took so much time because Gu Ji lacked helpers, except for dismantling bombs in Times Square in the final level.

Everything else depended on himself.

More than two hours passed, and Gu Ji remained seated on the bed watching Baron's live stream, afraid to miss any scene.

After all, the opportunity to directly watch the game reflect reality isn't common, and maybe he could discover some other valuable information.

At that moment.

A notification popped up on his WeChat—it was Gao Bo contacting him.

Gao Bo: "Damn, don't you have a VPN now? Quick, download the Tik International version software, search for the Passion Fruit live stream, it's exploding, live-streaming a terrorist attack!"

Gu Ji: "I know, I'm watching it now, it's already been reported on the news on the push."

After some thought, Gu Ji decided not to hide it anymore.

The excuse he used for getting the VPN from Gao Bo was originally to check materials on the foreign internet. Now, as Baron makes more noise in New York, various US media have already reported on the "live bombing attack".

At this point, pretending not to know would be too fake.

Gao Bo: "I thought I was the first to notify you after I found out, but you already knew and didn't tell me, crying, feels like I can't love anymore..."

Gu Ji: "I just started watching too, let's eat together tomorrow."

Gao Bo: "Sure, I want hotpot! Hahaha, remember what I said before, this Passion Fruit will get its comeuppance one day, and here it comes!"

Gu Ji: "Well, Passion Fruit's actions are indeed vile, but his assistant isn't simple, extremely skilled in counter-surveillance, and can even dismantle bombs!"

Gao Bo: "I noticed that too, this person definitely isn't ordinary, might even be an undercover agent or spy. If he doesn't die after this case ends, the CIA will definitely investigate him!"

The words Gao Bo sent were exactly what worried Gu Ji the most.

Even though he didn't reveal any information about "7472" this time, the sudden skills Baron displayed leave no reasonable explanation, especially with that [Poison Needle Trap] mine.

The explosion site must have left behind plenty of poison needles and fragmented mine structures.

Forensic officers aren't fools. They would've already discovered and gathered evidence for examination.

Fortunately, Baron had evidence against Colonel Sauva in his hand at the end, and with FBI's Jillian constantly watching over him, her protection should keep CIA at bay for now.

But the best scenario would be for Baron to escape again.

And avoid both FBI and CIA.

Of course, that is unlikely, another approach would be to find a way to guide Baron towards another identity.

Gu Ji really couldn't arrange a better ending for Baron.

"In any case, this round is in fate's hands..."

Rumble!

A noise came from the phone's live stream, obviously, "Baron" got into a fight with the driver thug near midtown Manhattan.

In the taxi.

Baron got up with his hand pressed against the shattered glass, showing no signs of pain on his face, remaining extremely calm. When facing the driver's attack, he calmly shielded his vitals with his left arm and accurately struck the enemy's eye with his right hand, successfully counter-killing.

After taking down the first terrorist.

He climbed to the second-row seat, reclined the seat, took a portable jammer from the trunk, then returned to the front, retrieving the mysterious computer and phone from the glove box and the driver, taking pictures with his mobile.

With everything ready.

Baron kicked the windshield to pieces, under the shocked, panicked gaze of surrounding passersby, quickly ducking into a nearby alley.

At this moment, his phone rang.

Baron calmly talked to Jillian while briskly making his way.

Passing by a trash can, he naturally tossed in the mysterious computer.

After the figure disappeared.

A long time later, a homeless man walked to the trash can intending to scavenge, only to shiver suddenly, his back straightened, eyes turning as cold as Baron's.

He skillfully picked up the mysterious computer, tossed it into a tattered backpack on his back, then picked a few clothes and water bottles, and left the alley.

Just like that.

After passing through several blocks, the homeless man suddenly stopped in front of another trash can, where there was an old white garbage truck, took the mysterious computer from his backpack, and threw it into the garbage-filled bay.

The next moment, the garbage truck slowly started, turned towards the east.

The homeless man paused, scratched his head, and resumed scavenging the trash can beside him, searching for useful items.

The garbage truck drove through the midtown main road, heading north to the Manhattan northern suburban landfill center.

The rear of the truck stopped before a heap of foul-smelling, mountain-like garbage, tilted the bay, dumping piles of garbage onto the ground, mixing with the heap, while the mysterious computer fell on the edge.

Just then, a big yellow dog passed by, sniffed around seemingly looking for food.

The moment it caught the scent of the computer.

The once confused eyes suddenly turned icy cold, grabbed the mysterious computer and ran crazily out of the landfill site, passing through a bush alongside the road, tossing the computer in, turned head, its eyes regained cheer, wagged its tail, drawn to wild fruits under a nearby tree.

And at that moment, a black BMW parked beside the bush.

The car door opened, a man wearing a black hoodie and black baseball cap stepped out, ventured into the bush, reaching for the mysterious computer.

And in that instant, a very distinctive tattoo was on his wrist!
