Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 14 Myawaddy! Numbness is the prevailing atmosphere here!
Welcome to the game! You are Wang Zixu. We wish you a pleasant gaming experience.

Wang Zixu rushed back to his dormitory as soon as he finished his evening self-study session, put on his helmet, and logged into the game.

Instead of rushing into the game, I opened the forum.

During class just now, I glanced at the group chat messages of the [Persuade to Spend Money Club].

I just found out that the guy who was wrong about the sun and moon had already gotten the game helmet.

Not only that,

He also wrote a more detailed plot analysis than he had written himself.

According to the test conducted by the user "Sun and Moon in the Same Mistake",
Each time a player creates a new game character, the initial storyline will be randomly triggered depending on their experiences.

The game characters are all tricked and then kidnapped for various reasons.

However, the kidnapping plot could take place in different settings, such as in a car, on a boat, etc.

No matter the scenario
The process and purpose of kidnapping are the same.

A group of kidnappers forced the player across the border into Myanmar.

In addition,
The user "日月同错" (Sun and Moon in the Same Mistake) also provided further analysis on the subsequent gameplay.

He speculated that players might have their first encounter after entering Myanmar.

totally unexpected!
Such crucial intelligence was somehow leaked by Brother Riyue.

Wang Zixu clicked his tongue in annoyance.

I should have created a new character and tried again after dying in the game.

To think we missed out on such important intelligence.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret.

I silently gave Brother Riyue's post a thumbs up, then immediately closed the forum.

We need to step up our efforts.

I was, after all, the first player to get beta testing access and enter the game.

Enter the game one day earlier than the Sun and Moon in the same mistake.

If he also overtakes the plot, where will he put his face?
[Reading progress... Connecting...]

[Entering the game shortly!]

After starting the game,

Wang Zixu did not choose to create a new character.

Since Brother Riyue Tongcuo has already taken the first post, there's no point in him writing a similar analysis post.

Instead, let's continue advancing the story and focus on the story strategy.

Enter the game world.

Having learned from previous failures, Wang Zixu cooperated well throughout the journey, and no unexpected setbacks occurred.

The wooden boat docked smoothly at the shore.

Ten people dressed in camouflage stood by the river.

This is the third time Wang Zixu has been brought ashore.

On the first two occasions, he tried to escape as soon as he stepped onto the riverbank, or asked the surrounding villagers for help.

They were all easily captured and severely beaten.

The defenses on the shore were much tighter than those on the ship, making escape more than twice as difficult.

He learned from experience that if escape was impossible while still on the ship,

Once you're on land, there's no chance of escaping.

It's almost impossible, unless the game has cheats.

"Follow!"

The armed kidnapper in front gave a low shout.

Wang Zixu followed, his eyes quickly scanning the surroundings.

The environment here can no longer be described as retro.

Very primitive,

There is not a trace of modern society in sight.

Towering ancient trees block out the sun, and the air is filled with the damp scent of earth, making you feel as if you are in a primeval forest.

When passing the riverbank,
A small house came into view on the opposite bank.

It's a small wooden cabin, like a prop taken from a retro movie.

A little girl in a floral dress stood at the door of the wooden house.

The person standing next to her was either her mother or her grandmother, she couldn't tell.

In short, she was a woman who looked rather old.

The girl tilted her head and sucked on her lollipop.

His gaze was fixed on Wang Zixu, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if he were examining an insignificant object.

Wang Zixu shivered for no apparent reason.

I feel inexplicably alarmed.

I found this scene very eerie.

After landing twice before,
So focused on finding a way to escape, they didn't notice these details.

Only now did I suddenly realize it.

It's astonishing how calm and indifferent a young girl could be in the face of such blatant kidnapping.

He suddenly understood.

The little girl, and everyone in the village, had gotten used to everything that was happening here.

They watched coldly, perhaps even sneering inwardly: Ha, how many more idiots dreaming of getting rich have been kidnapped and brought here? How about it, making money overseas is easy, isn't it?!

Wang Zixu took a deep breath.

Kidnapping and murder are commonplace for the locals.

It is the air we breathe, an integral part of our daily lives.

So on the first two occasions, they remained indifferent to their own pleas for help.

They even proactively told the kidnappers their whereabouts.

Numbness is the underlying tone of this land.

We can't act impulsively anymore!

Wang Zixu is now starting to doubt whether any of the NPCs in the game are good people.

Men in camouflage uniforms, carrying guns, escorted Wang Zixu and two others out of the village.

To be precise, this place cannot be called a village.

There are only a few scattered households, and the surrounding area is a vast expanse of wasteland and rice paddies, with no roads at all.

The environment was quite desolate.

The three had barely stepped out of the area when they saw two military green pickup trucks parked not far away.

It was as if they had been waiting for them all along.

Before he could react, two people suddenly appeared behind him, covered his head with a black cloth hood, and shoved Wang Zixu into the back seat of the car without saying a word.

The journey was bumpy, and I don't know how long it took.

The tires finally came to a stop after rolling over the last stretch of gravel.

Wang Zixu was pushed off the car, and his hood was finally ripped off.

The light was blinding, and he squinted for several seconds before his vision gradually cleared.

There was a park right in front of us.

It is called an industrial park,

But he felt it was more like a prison with a strong retro feel.

The wall is over five meters high, almost as tall as a two-story building.

The high outer wall looks like it was specifically designed to prevent prisoners from escaping.

In the very center was a large, rusty sliding iron gate, from which no one could see inside.

There are sentries at the main gate, and armed security guards patrol back and forth with cigarettes in their mouths.

Wang Zixu's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed.

Thankfully, it's just a game.

He suppressed the pounding in his heart and looked at the kidnappers behind him.

This person didn't hit him along the way, and his appearance wasn't as fierce as the others.

"Where is this?"

he asked tentatively.

"My awaddy!"

Wang Zixu couldn't understand it, but he knew it must be a place name, which gave him a slight sense of certainty.

He pressed further, "When can you let me go?"

"Don't worry, you will definitely be able to leave."

The other person's tone was reassuring, yet it also carried a hint of formulaic perfunctoriness, as if they were saying the same thing to everyone.

"Am I going to die?"

"will not."

The man answered decisively, and after speaking, he turned around and walked to the park entrance, where he spoke in a low voice to the green-skinned security guards standing there.

Wang Zixu listened intently, and fragmented English words drifted into his ears:

"company...company..."

Company?

Wang Zixu recalled for a moment.

I just happen to remember the meaning of this set of words.

It's just a company or an industrial park, right?

His brows furrowed slightly.

Is this a company in this godforsaken place?
The walls were made of corrugated iron, covered with razor blades and electric fences, and guarded by armed personnel.

Whose company looks like this?

The only saving grace is that, at least for now, there seems to be no danger to his life.

Once you're sold into the company, what can you do?
It's just work, nothing more.

The boss wants free labor.

Hiring someone to kidnap

This logic makes sense.

He has never experienced 996 or 007 work schedules.

Consider it a social preview before graduation, to get used to it in advance, since you'll need it sooner or later anyway.

He's also looking forward to seeing what it would be like to work in a game.

What does this company do?

Are my colleagues easy to get along with?
