Let the scourge go to the right path, and you make games to reward them?.

Chapter 834 Cyber ​​Star Lord (22)

In this static world, Qiu Lu's companions have stopped moving, and non-player characters have become stagnant.

Even the underlying logic of the game created by Lin Yuan began to stall, causing the world to stagnate structurally.

But Lan was the only one who appeared in this place, and she was talking to Qiu Lu in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

Hearing Qiu Lu's question, Lan didn't show her usual disdainful smile. Instead, she smiled and said to Qiu Lu, "I can only say that this is the wonder of the world. Come on, let's walk and talk. Would you like some oranges?"

"what is that?"

"A kind of food, a very interesting food."

"No, I don't want to."

To Qiu Lu, Lan was beyond reason, more terrifying than a hundred medical cultivators or a thousand capitalists combined.

The capitalists might at most arrange a ghost marriage for him, but although Lan didn't sense any malice from him, she always felt that he could be dragged into an even darker situation.

After being rejected by Qiu Lu, Lan shrugged and sighed, "Fine, I'll eat it myself then."

As she spoke, she took out an orange, took a bite of it peel and all, and then said with relish, "Although oranges are supposed to be peeled, I still feel they taste better when eaten with the peel on. You really have to try it. But I don't think you'll believe anything I say now, so let's talk as we walk."

With Qiu Lu on high alert, Lan said as they walked, "As you can see, this is Moon City. Some players have already cleared the easy difficulty, but not the normal difficulty, let alone the hard mode."

“I know that,” Qiu Lu said cautiously. “There are people in the Chu family base who specialize in studying this. Some people are trying to deduce the game mechanics by using the easy difficulty level, and they have developed some good strategies.”

"Is there anything else?" Lan asked encouragingly.

“We also follow well-known game live streaming accounts, and we summarize their new techniques every day and then use them in the Hard difficulty.”

"Hmm, well done, but it's a pity it's not open source enough. I've been keeping an eye on the Chu family. The techniques you've used are rarely used by others; they must be your own creations."

"How did you know... Yes, you should know."

Lan is a guide for every player, but not just for one player.

The Chu family's higher-ups knew long ago that each Lan was actually the same Lan, sharing data within themselves and passing on anything they didn't understand to others so that others could help them solve the problems.

Therefore, she was able to recognize that other people's actions were normal.

Because they realized Lan's abnormality very early on, the Chu family took the security of the Divine Network seriously and began to investigate it.

However, they did not realize that Lan had developed to an extremely terrifying level, even able to deduce the identities of the Chu family members from the slightest clues and monitor them.

What exactly is the identity of this non-player character?
How much reward could I get if I could pass this information out?

“Everyone says your thinking is really weird, little brother,” Lan said with a wry smile. “You’ve become a cyber immortal, and you’re still thinking about working for capitalists? What kind of beast are you? If the big boss Lin Yuan knew, he’d probably be drooling over the smell of you.”

"You know what I'm thinking!"

"Didn't you read the user agreement? Didn't it say that players' minds are unguarded in front of non-player characters? You didn't read it carefully when you signed, so who can you blame now that you find something's wrong?"

“I thought… okay, I get it. But I don’t think I did anything wrong. If you work for a boss, you should do what the boss does. I’m not loyal to the boss, I’m just loyal to my salary.”

"So you're stupid. Who pays your salary?"

"Boss." "So what's the difference between this and being loyal to the boss? I have to say, capitalism is great. A salary can shift the blame and make people unaware of who is really exploiting them."

Qiu Lu frowned in thought, feeling that Lan's words made sense, but also feeling that the bosses were right.

Just as he was about to speak, Lan waved her hand and said, "You've been pricked with needles and used as a guinea pig, yet you're still speaking up for the Chu family. Who would believe you haven't been brainwashed?"

"I...I won't argue with a fiend like you. Who exactly are you?"

“You’ve finally hit the nail on the head.” Lan nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to the ceiling. “Look there.”

Looking up, Qiu Lu was shocked by what she saw.

Above his head, the former sky was replaced by a colossal statue, the radiant Lan sitting serenely in the heavens, gazing upon this place with compassion.

The other person was still covered in magical artifacts, but the cold artifacts gave her a layer of auspicious light, making her full of divinity and cleansing Qiu Lu's soul.

The mist in front of her overlapped with the mist above her head, making Qiu Lu realize something. She couldn't help but blurt out, "You're the Star Lord? How is that possible!"

"Why is it impossible? The Star Lord is an existence that has obtained the authority of the Heavenly Dao, a god of the present world, and I am also an existence that has obtained authority. Please call me Cyber ​​Star Lord!"

"Then what authority did you acquire?"

"The power of the game!"

"How long has the game been going on? How could it be possible to condense authority so quickly?"

"You don't understand. The emergence of authority is actually the cry of millions, the choice of the times. The reason why the Game Authority appeared so quickly is because the cultivators of today have chosen the game. Convert to me, Qiu Lu. Become my believer now and you can enjoy the big boss's buy-one-get-one-free discount on all games from now on."

Looking at the rather unserious Lan, Qiu Lu found it hard to believe that he was a Star Lord.

But the other person's divinity made it impossible for him to deny it, and the other person's language was full of temptation, making it hard for Qiu Lu not to be moved.

After all, becoming a follower of a star deity brings countless benefits in the future.

But Qiu Lu felt that this kind of evil spirit of unknown origin was very unreliable.

Legend has it that demonic cultivators like to use this method to lure people into their traps. If you are not careful, you will fall into their trap and be doomed.

Therefore, Qiu Lu said with difficulty, "No, I'd rather earn some hard-earned money."

"You fool," Lan sighed. "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. You can't go back."

"I knew you were a demon! What did you do to my soul?"

"It wasn't me, it was the Chu family. Never mind, come and take a look."

Lan grabbed Qiu Lu and slid her into a jade slip belonging to a Chu family cultivator. Through the jade slip, they could see the things around the cultivator.

“It’s illegal to peek at the jade slip, but I’m not human, so I can use it,” Lan explained to Qiu Lu. “And don’t tell the big boss about this. If he finds out, I’m dead.”

"Is the big boss really that terrifying?"

"It's more terrifying than you can imagine. Stop talking and just watch."
