The dim light from the TV screen shone on An Qingyu's profile, staining the lenses of her eyes with a pale hue.

He sat calmly opposite Yuuri Takishiro, not frightened by the sudden change at all, but continued to stare at Yuuri Takishiro's body, with a gray light flashing imperceptibly in his eyes, analyzing the other's body at all times.

"I'm sorry, I think I was too rude." Yuuri Takishiro smiled apologetically and raised his hand gently, and the power supply of the entire [Pure Land] was restored again. "Finally, someone other than the oracle can communicate with me. I couldn't control myself..."

"It doesn't matter."

An Qingyu pushed his glasses and smiled, "I'm very curious. You are so strong, why are you being held here for experiments? With your... level, even if the seven oracles join forces to deal with you, you should be able to escape unscathed, right?"

Yuuri Takishiro shook his head.

"No?" An Qingyu was stunned.

"Even if they join forces, they can't beat me." Yuri Takishiro said seriously, "No matter their level, talent, skills, health bar, or combat power, they can't beat me together, because I have a world boss-level panel."

“…”

If An Qingyu had not played games for a while before, he might not have understood what Yuri Takibai was saying.

"Besides, I don't want to leave here."

"Why?" An Qingyu asked doubtfully, "Being locked up in this room and being experimented on like a guinea pig by them, don't you long for freedom?"

"But if I leave here, I won't be able to play the game."

"……?"

Yuri Takishiro glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and stood up from the sofa. His long white hair dragged on the ground, like silk, and he moved slowly forward with his footsteps. Finally, he was on the TV.

He reached out and opened the drawer, revealing a dense pile of game cartridges inside, piled up like a small mountain, dazzling.

"These are my treasures." Yuri Takibai turned around, looked into An Qingyu's eyes, and said seriously,

"Here, I have so many games to play, but if I go outside, where can I find so many games? These are very rare and precious things, right? As long as I cooperate with them to inject a little bit of something every day, I can play unlimited games...

Isn’t this joyful?”

An Qingyu:……? ? ?

An Qingyu stared at Yuuri Takishiro in a daze for a long time before he realized what was going on.

He had always thought that these oracles were able to control Yuuri Takishiro here using some advanced control method, but he never expected... it was just a game?

And these are all games that were out of fashion 20 or 30 years ago!

Isn't this just cheating children?

If you think about it carefully, even though Yuuri Takishiro looks so old, his mental age is actually only thirteen years old... and he has grown up here since he was a child. If the oracle lied to him in this regard, he certainly wouldn't notice.

An Qingyu gave him a complicated look, walked to the pile of "treasures", squatted down, and began to search carefully.

"Metal Slug, The King of Fighters, Contra, Super Mario, Beach Volleyball... As expected, they are all outdated games." An Qingyu sighed.

The Oracle used this stuff to make Yuuri Takishiro willingly serve as a test subject for more than ten years?

Really...

"How is it? Is my collection rich?" Yuuri Takishiro asked with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits.

An Qingyu threw the cartridges aside and shook his head. "These things are indeed 'collections' to some extent... The Oracle lied to you. Games are just things that can be found everywhere. They are not precious at all. As long as you spend some money, you can always buy ten times more games than these.

Moreover, after so many years, the gaming industry outside has developed to a level that you can't even imagine...

This old-fashioned card reader has been eliminated. Now there are PS, NS, and even VR helmets everywhere..."

Yuuri Takishiro stood there in a daze for a long time.

“What is PS? What is VR?”

"PS is..."

The ghostly Jiang Er stood outside the room, looking at the two teenagers sitting on the floor in the room, seriously discussing the development of the gaming industry, with a complicated expression, and held his forehead helplessly...

When Yuuri Takishiro cut off the power supply of [Pure Land] just now, she thought a fierce battle was about to break out. She even planned to forcibly possess the other party and give An Qingyu a chance to escape. However, she never expected that the development of the matter would actually move in such a strange direction...

After An Qingyu finished introducing the current status of the gaming industry in Japan, Yuuri Takishiro's expression became strange. He frowned and looked at An Qingyu, seeming to be a little unconvinced.

"The oracle said that the technology here is the most advanced in the country."

"He's right."

"Then why are there only these games here?" But he asked, "The technology here is advanced, shouldn't the gaming industry be more advanced?"

"...Public demand is the primary productive force in the industry." An Qingyu patiently explained, "There are only a few of you here, so of course you can't produce games. The games that the Oracles gave you should have been bought a long time ago.

Yuuri Takishiro still frowned.

"You don't believe it?"

"No."

"Then you can go down and take a look yourself, and you will know, right?" An Qingyu said with a smile, "As far as I know, there is a place called Akihabara in this country, and there is a whole street of game stores there. As long as you go there, you will definitely understand."

There was a gleam in Yuuri Takishiro's eyes, and he seemed to be interested.

"What if the Oracle comes back?"

"Anyway, they can't beat you together, why are you afraid of them?" An Qingyu said slowly, "Besides, I promise you, they can't come back here..."

"You really didn't lie to me?"

"Don't worry, I won't lie to you." An Qingyu hesitated for a moment, "Well, I'll keep these game cartridges here for you. If you stay for a long time, I'll be here.

Anyway, with your strength, it shouldn't be difficult to return to the Pure Land at any time."

Yuuri Takishiro looked at the mountain of old game cartridges, and after hesitating for a long time, he nodded heavily.

"Okay, I'll go down and take a look. If not, I will come back to find you!"

"By the way, when you go down, remember to keep an eye on your father. He has been looking for you for thirteen years." An Qingyu did not forget the agreement with Yuri Heizhe.

Yuri Takishiro was stunned, turned around and looked at him, his eyes full of confusion:

"Father...what is it?"
