Deadly Game: Almighty Boss’s Guide to Making Money

Chapter 1260. Progress
During breakfast, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing mentioned that Guo Yuelang had arrived, which piqued Lin Bei's interest.

But when he looked at his feet, he sighed again.

"Sister, if you want to see your leading lady, we can just have him come over," Huang Jingjing joked.

Lin Bei's eyes immediately lit up.

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

“He originally wanted to come see you too,” Lin Xi said. “Jingjing and I will go pick him up later, but we’ll have to trouble you, Big Sister. However, we’ll bring back some dishes on the way.”

"No trouble at all," the older sister said with a smile. "I love having a lively atmosphere at home. And this time, it's a handsome young man too?"

"Handsome!" Huang Jingjing said with certainty, then laughed. "Big sister, you like looking at handsome guys too?"

"Who doesn't like that? I not only like looking at handsome men, I also like looking at beautiful women," the older woman said.

After lunch, Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing set off.

We arrived at the hotel quickly.

Guo Yuelang had just gotten up and hadn't eaten yet.

Bai Yueming and Quan Quan also got up and came over to Guo Yuelang. They went to the hotel restaurant for dinner together.

"I'm not hungry yet, you guys go ahead and eat!" Guo Yuelang said with a smile. "I need to go out and buy some things to put in the game. Xiao Xi and Jingjing are here to pick me up."

"What's the rush to buy things? You can order them and have them delivered."

"I like to choose things myself," Guo Yuelang said with a smile.

"Okay, you go ahead, we're going to eat," Quan Quan said.

Bai Yueming looked at the group of people and suddenly asked.

"You don't have something else on your mind, do you?"

"Yes, my sister wants to meet her idol." Lin Xi said with a smile.

"My sister likes handsome guys, aren't Quan Quan and I handsome enough?" Bai Yueming said, tossing her hair with her hand.

“But you are not leading ladies in female roles.”

"Alright, you guys go ahead, we're going to eat." Bai Yueming said with a grin.

The three of them quickly left the hotel and found a place for Guo Yuelang to have breakfast.

Lin Xi and Huang Jingjing didn't bring their gaming phones when they went out; they even turned them off at home!

Guo Yuelang didn't bring it either; he left it in his room.

All three of them carried their usual cell phones.

But they were all left in the car.

Guo Yuelang had just gotten up and wasn't hungry, so he only ordered a small meal that wasn't too early or too late. The three of them ordered freshly squeezed juice and sat in the private room, chatting slowly.

It was mainly Guo Yuelang who said it.

Gong Heng has already found out about Jin Shujiu.

"Jin Shujiu was the youngest research engineer in the Academy of Sciences' virtual space team, and the deputy leader of that team. Our current virtual space upload technology was developed by their team, mainly led by Jin Shujiu. However, two years ago, he died suddenly in a car accident. By the time he was taken to the hospital, it was too late to save him. The research team froze his body, hoping to revive him someday. However, he had already uploaded his consciousness to the virtual world and could live freely in the virtual world."

"He spent two years researching this game?"

"It's not him, it's them. Jin Shujiu should be the core figure of the game team, but he's the only virtual character. The others are probably people from the real world. A large portion of the money they earn goes into the research team's account, presumably to support the maintenance and improvement of the virtual world." "Is that their intention?" Lin Xi asked.

“At least that was Jin Shujiu’s original intention,” Guo Yuelang said. “Of course, part of it was also used to support the search for the murderer who killed Jin Shujiu.”

"did you find it?"

"Found it. It was done by a research team from abroad. They originally wanted to steal Jin Shujiu's memories before he died, but they went too far and killed him on the spot. The police arrived shortly after and were unable to take Jin Shujiu away."

"Jin Shujiu is living a very comfortable life in the virtual world and doesn't need his body anymore, so why did you find Bai to bury him too?" Huang Jingjing asked.

"It was Bai Ye who went to the hospital to pick up the body, but it was with the consent of Jin Shujiu's family and the Academy of Sciences."

"Didn't the people from the Academy of Sciences say who the other members of the game team are?"

“They don’t know either. Jin Shujiu refused to tell them, saying that the game team’s conflicts were something they had to resolve themselves,” Guo Yuelang said, then seemed to remember something else. “By the way, some people from the Academy of Sciences have also entered the game. Some are from the Academy, and some are helpers they found. Because everyone has the same goal—to shut down the game or reduce the amount of killing—they gave us a list of some of their people.”

"Do we know anyone among them?" Huang Jingjing asked immediately.

"Why only a part?" Lin Xi asked immediately.

“We know some of them,” Guo Yuelang said, taking out a slip of paper and answering Lin Xi’s question. “Because some people don’t want people outside the Academy of Sciences to know. We will also give them a partial list, but only with their consent.”

“I don’t mind, I can give it to you,” Lin Xi said.

"I don't care either," Huang Jingjing said.

The two of them looked at the note Guo Yuelang handed them and smiled.

“I do know some,” Huang Jingjing said. “I know four!”

"Five, plus the Beginning of Spring," Lin Xi reminded Huang Jingjing.

Huang Jingjing thought about it carefully.

“Oh, right, I’ve met him once, but I don’t remember him very well,” Huang Jingjing laughed. “Compared to others, he’s really unassuming.”

“This breakthrough is quite significant,” Guo Yuelang said. “It must be that the conflict has escalated on Jin Shujiu’s side.”

"Is Jin Shujiu on the side that advocates against too much killing?" Lin Xi asked.

I already know, but I still want to confirm.

“Yes,” Guo Yuelang said. “We originally thought that people would become extreme after he died, but he didn’t like killing.”

"Then why do people die in most dungeons?"

Being eliminated in a game is one thing, but dying in real life is another.

"Because there were many people involved in the design over there, while Jin Shujiu only provided the core technology and designed the copy related to Bai Ye."

When he said the last sentence, Guo Yuelang was also very helpless.

"Is there anyone who doesn't participate in the design but only in the investment?" Lin Xi asked again.

“Definitely,” Guo Yuelang said, then sighed. “Unfortunately, Jin Shujiu insists that those matters be resolved internally, and the people at the Academy of Sciences don’t want to go against his wishes.”

“Then let’s investigate further,” Huang Jingjing said. “The people we’ve identified are probably all connected to that side.”

"You mean those high-risk ones, but you haven't seen them harm people?" Guo Yuelang asked.

“Yes. But I find it strange that they would classify their own people as high-risk,” Huang Jingjing said.

"Isn't it that they have different philosophies? It should be that this overall setting is controlled by one or two people, and no one else can change it," Lin Xi said.
