"How come you have so many injuries?" Pei Wu asked Wei Guangmo, frowning.
"My body's name is Yan Chang, and Yan Chang has been imprisoned in a dark and sunless basement. I have no memory of him, and I don't know why he was imprisoned in the basement, but I heard the food delivery robot mention that the woman who imprisoned him seems to be surnamed Sun and is a PhD. According to the game's timeline, I've been in the game for over a month now, and for some reason, my name has become a prohibited word in this game. If I violate it, I will be punished by the game system."
After waking up, Wei Guangmo remained silent for a while before slowly opening his mouth. Even his tone and demeanor revealed his exhaustion and fragility. He reached out and pinched his brow. The sleeve of his oversized hospital gown slid down his raised arm, revealing his thin wrist.
Perhaps the act of reaching out aggravated his wounds, for he clicked his tongue and furrowed his brow.
"It did take some effort to escape." If it weren't for the robot that delivers his meals every day, he might not have made it out alive today.
What did she do to you?
Wei Guangmo noticed the fierce glint in Pei Wu's eyes when he brought this up. "You don't need to make that face. It's just a game plot, I don't care. Besides, I don't want to bring this up again."
"Also, your game system is no longer bound to your account. You should pay more attention to that. Do you want to stay in the game world forever?"
Only after saying this did Wei Guangmo look at Pei Wu again.
“…” Pei Wu was silent for a moment after hearing Wei Guangmo’s words.
She and Wei Guangmo were friends for many years and knew each other well. Seeing that he was reluctant to answer the question, she did not press him further.
"Yes, my game system is indeed malfunctioning. I've tried to contact it multiple times but haven't been able to. I've also considered the issue of the system becoming unbound. However, my game pod should be maintained by Wang Lu. As for the issue of the game becoming unbound, she's capable of handling it, because the way time is calculated in the game and the real world is different... so..."
She had been waiting.
"Who knows what's wrong with your gaming pod? External program intervention is completely useless; I can't even force a restart or shut it down. The only feasible solution is to use a new gaming pod, so that your gaming pod shares the same gaming system as my new one. You know, the gaming system is the hub connecting gamers with the real world."
In the game pod, the game system that each player is bound to is quite important. Although it may seem like just a tool to enhance the player's gaming experience, it is actually a hub connecting the player to the real world.
Players must report any problems they encounter in the game to the game pod through the game system, and then the staff responsible for maintaining the game pod will handle them. If the game system is disconnected, it means that the player is out of contact in an unfamiliar world.
For players, the game system is still the button for them to actively end the game. If they don't like the game, they can end it themselves by communicating with the game system.
“…” Pei Wu frowned unconsciously upon hearing Wei Guangmo’s words. “Since this method is feasible, it means that someone had already intervened in my game pod before you, or even bound my game pod to his game pod, so that they shared the same system.”
The design of this game pod is somewhat similar to murder mystery games. Murder mystery games are multiplayer games where everyone chooses and finalizes the script together. Once the game starts, the player who gets the script for their role cannot easily end the game unless all the players present agree to end it. Otherwise, the game cannot be ended.
Therefore, before multiplayer games, 'BeiShang' will have players sign relevant agreements to ensure the best gaming experience for all players.
The current situation is that Pei Wu, who thought she was starting the game solo, unknowingly started the game with others, turning it into a multiplayer game with more than one player. As the game has progressed to this point, Pei Wu, as one of the players, naturally cannot unilaterally end the game process unless the game pods that are connected and running together end the game at the same time.
This explains why, in the default scenario where Wei Guangmo didn't choose his own appearance, he didn't use his own looks and name. The game had already started, all the character scripts had been selected, and the plot had already unfolded. He was a character that was added later.
“…” Wei Guangmo nodded.
His thoughts coincided with Pei Wu's.
In recent years, the development of "Beishang" has been rapid, attracting many envious people. Naturally, everyone wants a piece of the pie when they have a gold mine in their hands. If they can't get a piece, they'd be happy to ride the wave of popularity.
Wei Guangmo felt that the person who had done this must be a competitor of 'Bei Shang'. Someone who could do something so secretly under his and Pei Wu's noses must be no ordinary person. He had a name in mind that was almost on the tip of his tongue.
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Wei Guangmo swallowed the words that were about to come out and looked up at the door that had been knocked on.
