Northern Myanmar: These players are acting strangely!

Chapter 96 The reason I had to run away: I really needed good songs!

Wang Mazi's expression at this moment was like that of a sulking child.

Wang Zixu noticed that his current state was very different from before.

I thought it was a side effect of the injection in the private room.

But now it doesn't seem quite like it.

What exactly is going on with you?

Wang Mazi walked to the window and stood side by side with Wang Zixu.

After a long silence, he slowly spoke:
"My wife might not make it."

Wang Zixu turned to look at him, somewhat surprised:
"Didn't you say before that you hadn't contacted your family for a long time?"

Wang Mazi slowly exhaled a smoke ring:
"I wasn't sure if you would sell me out, so I didn't tell you the truth."

Now that I've decided to run away, there's no need to hide anything from you anymore.

“I resold it from another industrial park.”

"Before I came here, my family had already exhausted all their savings to save me."

"I'm not lying to you about my wife's illness. She's very sick and needs a lot of money."

"We didn't have the money for treatment, so we kept putting it off."

“A few days before you came to the park, I secretly sent a message home.”

His voice became choked with emotion:

"My wife... probably doesn't have many days left to live."

"If I get back quickly, I might be able to see her one last time."

"If it gets too late, or if something unexpected happens on the way, I guess I'll only be able to attend her funeral."

“But if I never get out, I won’t even have the chance to visit her grave.”

Wang Mazi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.

"I have no other choice."

"Moreover, my parents' health is deteriorating, and the two of them have to raise two children. They simply can't survive... So, I have to run away!"

Ah, so that's how it is. No wonder he was so emotionally out of control today.

[With something this serious happening at home, anyone would go crazy; I can understand.]

【What kind of understanding is that! I think it's just an excuse! His wife and children are human beings, but the woman he locked in the room and abused wasn't?】

Exactly, having your own difficulties is no excuse for hurting others; each matter should be addressed separately.

It's easy to talk when you're not in their shoes; you haven't experienced that kind of despair, so it's not fair to judge so easily!

Wang Zixu originally wanted to ask him when and how the video call was made, but seeing that Wang Mazi was emotional, he was afraid of further upsetting him, so he didn't delve into it and instead asked:
When do you plan to escape?

Wang Mazi lowered his voice and said:

"Hurry! Let's divide the tasks!"

"You know that toilet in our dorm building, right? Try to open the window over there."

"I'll try to get a map of the area outside the park, and some cash after I get out."

"As long as you have money in your hands, everything will be fine once you get out."

Wang Zixu frowned and said:

"The toilet window?"

"Wasn't that thing welded shut? How do we get it open?"

"And where are you going to get the money?"

"There shouldn't be any way to get cash in the park, right?"

Wang Mazi glanced at Wang Zixu:
"If the window is really impossible to open, we'll have to risk taking another route, but that will take us through an area with heavy surveillance, making us easy targets."

"As for the cash, how to handle that is my business. You just need to fix the window or come up with another solution."

[Holy crap! Are we starting to prepare for our escape? This day has finally come! I can't wait!]

[This seems too risky; the success rate isn't high.] [Fortune favors the bold! How will you know if you can escape if you don't take the plunge?]

[Exactly! Uncle Ma is only alive once and he's not afraid, but Brother Piao can resurrect infinitely. What's there to be cowardly about? Let's fight him!]

[Go for it! Support Brother Piao! The worst that can happen is just restarting!]

Wang Zixu made up his mind to post a request for help on the official forum after logging off, to see if any other players had encountered a similar situation.

He chatted with Wang Mazi about the details for a while, then excused himself to go to the bathroom to take a shower.

The game characters definitely need a thorough cleaning.

This game is seriously hardcore in some ways!
After closing the bathroom door, Wang Zixu immediately exited the game.

A live stream window popped up.

The broadcast lasted longer than usual today, but the number of viewers in the live stream did not decrease significantly.

Wang Zixu greeted the viewers, then excused himself to have lunch and ended the live stream.

at the same time.

In the real world, Jingzhou.

After making numerous inquiries, Chen Xi finally found out the name of the game company—Seal Studio—and obtained some information about it.

Her agent analyzed the situation and concluded that since the song made its debut in the game last night, the copyright should still be held by Seal Studios and has not been sold.

The song has only become popular on a small scale so far, so if they approach the game company now, they have a very high chance of acquiring the performance rights, provided the price is reasonable.

Chen Xi was very happy and immediately sent the screen recording to his studio's internal work group to hear everyone's opinions.

When he opened the work group, he immediately smiled.

The studio basically revolves around her, so everyone's work is mostly related to music.

I just listened to this song, and it's really good. It feels like it suits Xixi's voice so well! I wish Xixi could sing this song this time.

This song is definitely catchy, but I don't know why it didn't become popular; it's probably due to limited viewership.

[It seems to have been reported for using AI to create the image, and the platform has subsequently limited its traffic to it.]

That's really a pity.

What song are you guys discussing? You're really getting into it, I'm curious, what's the name of the song?

[“What Can I Use to Keep You?” Even if it were truly AI, its excellence is undeniable. The key is that the songwriter and composer are truly phenomenal; surely they couldn't also be AI, right? I certainly don't believe so. If AI could write something so emotionally resonant, the Chinese music scene wouldn't be in its current half-dead state.]

[I've listened to the whole song, and I'm blown away! Seal Studio is actually a game company? The lyrics and music are both from their studio, amazing!]

Chen Xi looked at the chat history of the employees in the work group and smiled.

at this time,

The agent called.

Chen Xi quickly answered the call and asked impatiently:
"How about it?"

"Have you made contact?"

The agent's voice sounded somewhat helpless:
"I have contacted Mr. Shen, the person in charge of their studio, but his attitude is rather ambiguous."

“I originally thought that small studios like theirs would be short of funds, so I quoted a price directly, thinking that I could save as much money as possible.”

"But I just heard from the side that their studio is doing very well, and it seems... they are not short of money."

"This collaboration did not go through."

"But it's okay, I'll contact them again."

Chen Xi sighed, rubbing his forehead with one hand:
"My dear sister, I've already told you, even though the other side only has one song and it might be difficult for us to collaborate again next time, let's not put on airs! I'm not some top-tier celebrity now, just give me a little more leeway!"

"This song is very important to me!"

She paused and continued:

“Here’s the address: send me the address of Seal Studio. I’ll go there and talk to Mr. Shen in person.”

"I really need good songs!"
