So it seems there's only one contract player in this game right now.
The old woman sneered. The physical body was still in her hands, yet they dared to cause trouble in the game? They were truly tired of living!
However, despite the large number of players in the game, this is the first time such a bug has occurred, especially since the player in question is a contract player.
You should know that this old woman's contract was no ordinary contract, but a contract bound by powerful magic.
Anyone who signs a contract must strictly abide by its terms. Therefore, regardless of this player's level or methods, they will ultimately have to serve her for fifty years.
The old lady was very curious about this player. First, she wanted to see how many levels she would eventually reach; second, although players who reached the maximum level appeared to have left the game, they were actually killed by the game's ultimate boss, the level 120 "Awakening".
What is the maximum level for a player?
Level 99!
If a level 99 person faces a level 120 person, who will survive?
Thirdly, she's a contract player. Even if she gets past the awakening stage and successfully leaves the game, the contract still binds her, so she can't escape it.
In addition, she has a fatal weakness in this player's hands: the player's physical body.
Therefore, although the old lady received the report from her subordinates, she did not want to do anything to Chu Nian: this contract player not only aroused her curiosity but also a hint of expectation.
She might be the fastest player to reach level 99!
A level 99 player is a great tonic for her, far more beneficial than a level 100 or lower Soul.
When the administrator contacted his superiors, Chu Nian tried to track him down, only to find that her radio waves couldn't leave the game at all. It seems that the game's settings in this regard are very strict.
If even radio waves can't get through, how can Chu Nian get back the original body? That body is in that old woman's hands, which will keep Chu Nian from making progress.
Chu Nian had a bit of a headache.
Another thing that worries her is that even with continuous treatment, very few people in a vegetative state can survive for a long time.
Although the old woman might use the best medicine to ensure the original owner's survival so that the body could level up properly and become her delicious meal in the future, it was still possible that the body would die at any time.
It has to be said that this old woman really went to great lengths to avoid the sin of eating living souls: but all she did was sacrifice other people's lives.
Chu Nian had long guessed that the old woman was unwilling to let her die, but instead wanted to fatten her up slowly before eating her.
So even though Chu Nian knew that the administrator had reported that he possessed a bugged skill, he was still not in a hurry at all.
The saying goes, "Enjoy life while you can." In this game world, everything you encounter—the food, clothing, shelter, and transportation—is just like the real thing. Because it's your own soul that enters this world, all your senses feel incredibly real.
Although Chu Nian could tell that everything in this virtual world was somewhat different from real objects in reality, it didn't stop her from playing here.
To earn cryptocurrency, she decided to get a job. Her technical skills—investment, finance, hacking, and many other areas—were not viable in this virtual world. The more lucrative jobs here included: bodyguard, thug, assassin, mercenary, and similar positions.
The remaining jobs, unrelated to this, such as singing, dancing, serving drinks, and being a waiter, earn very little currency, practically negligible. Therefore, the characters you encounter engaging in these jobs are essentially NPCs.
You can look for jobs on the world's bulletin board; it has all sorts of information, including requests to join teams, job postings, and so on. Chu Nian looked at the bulletin board for a while and then found an announcement from the system.
The gist is: The system has discovered a major boss with a bug. Its known skill causes players to be downgraded; its unknown skills are unknown. Given that this is a problematic boss, a bounty is now being placed on its head, with a reward of one million coins and the ability to skip ten levels.
A large crowd had gathered in front of the notice board, all discussing this big boss! Some were even debating whether to accept the bounty. After all, the temptation of jumping ten levels in one leap was too great.
Chu Nian stood there listening expressionlessly.
Then everyone realized that they were all losing levels. Everyone present, including Chu Nian, was losing levels, so no one suspected her at all.
At this moment, the most frustrated people are those with higher levels. The highest-ranking guy present, level 69, had been acting all high and mighty when talking about the bounty mission issued by the system, boasting that if he encountered this bugged boss, he could definitely wipe it out in one go.
And what happened? This guy's level dropped the fastest. The green number on the top of his head changed so fast that in less than a minute, his level 69 had dropped to level 1.
Everyone was initially extremely depressed, but when they saw his face and the green patch on the top of his head, they suddenly felt relieved.
Does reaching level 20 in a game require the same amount of effort and dedication as reaching level 69? Definitely not!
Therefore, the more levels you drop, the greater your losses.
The group stood in front of the notice board, looking left and right. They never expected that all the level 1 players from the newbie village would appear here together one day.
Not a single one of them didn't lose a level. So, who exactly is that big boss?
Since no one saw anyone, everyone assumed that the big boss must be hiding in the shadows and hadn't shown himself.
At this moment, they looked at each other speechlessly, tears streaming down their faces!
Chu Nian sneered inwardly: Serves you right! You didn't expect this day to come when you were killing people to level up, did you!
These people are really stupid. They actually thought they could leave once they reached the maximum level. They didn't consider that so many people died. If they left, how would things be resolved? Only when everyone is dead can no one reveal the true situation in the game, and only then can the game continue.
It seems that only the original owner of this body was still conscious. Unfortunately, she couldn't escape this game either.
The group that had quickly dropped to level one stood silently (mourned) in front of the notice board for a while before dispersing: they probably went to find a quiet, less crowded place to start leveling up again!
Chu Nian couldn't control this matter. In any case, a level 1 player could kill far fewer people than a level 30 player could kill.
She also left the bulletin board: having absorbed a considerable amount of players' energy, she had accumulated a substantial amount. Upon reaching the deserted area, the level tag above her head displayed level 60.
She just discovered a place called "Sunny Villa" that is hiring maids, providing room and board, with a salary of three thousand coins per month.
