Chu Nian turned around and saw that it was the female player who had spoken first, so he asked her with a silly look, "What should I say?"
The woman said, "Tell me, why was Li Shuangshuang hired instead of you?"
Chu Nian said "Oh," turned to look at the female steward, grinned foolishly at her, and said, "Steward, look, everyone is complaining on my behalf because Shuangshuang and I are both at level two, but only Shuangshuang got the job while I didn't! Could you talk to the owner here and let us both get the job? That way, they won't have such a big problem with us."
The butler stared at Chu Nian for a while, and Chu Nian noticed that there were electrical waves flowing from her body to a certain room on the second floor, presumably communicating with Zhao Feiyang.
After a moment, the butler spoke up: "Alright. However, the original plan was to hire only one maid, but now that we've hired two of you, your salaries will be split 500 each, so how about that?"
Chu Nian quickly replied, "I have no objection."
The butler then looked at Li Shuangshuang, who quickly replied, "Oh, I have no objection either."
"Alright, everyone else can leave now," the butler called out to the female players who hadn't been hired.
The female gamers erupted in anger upon hearing this.
"What? Both of them, those two newbies who were only at the second level, got accepted?"
"Just two level two newbies... why not us?"
"How long can two level-two newbies work? They probably won't even last long!"
"Yeah, you think you can survive here just because you have Lord Feiyang protecting you? How could that be? Pshaw!"
"If we don't level up to the maximum level as soon as possible, there's no hope of leaving here. Don't they realize how long they can survive in a vegetative state in the real world?!"
...
Security guards came and chased them away, so even though the female players were still indignant, they could only leave with complaints.
Chu Nian discovered that because everyone in this game was killing with abandon, not only was the atmosphere extremely violent, but the resentment was also quite strong!
"You two, come with me!" the butler said, his voice and face unusually serious.
The butler led Chu Nian and Li Shuangshuang into the room where the electromagnetic waves from its body had entered earlier. This should be a study, it was very spacious, with many bookshelves against the wall, filled with books—in the game, the books and bookshelves were just for decoration.
A handsome, slender young man sat in the executive chair behind the desk, coldly observing the two women who followed the butler in.
Chu Nian noticed that this guy's gaze only lingered on Li Shuangshuang's face for a moment before settling on her own.
Chu Nian felt that he might have already confirmed that he was the BUG-like big BOSS that the system had a bounty on.
The problem is the players and NPCs; these players can't tell the difference at all. Chu Nian's heart stirred, and she smiled at Zhao Feiyang. Then, the words above her head suddenly turned red.
Zhao Feiyang was taken aback.
However, Chu Nian quickly restored the words above her head to green.
Zhao Feiyang suddenly said, "Alright, housekeeper, take Li Shuangshuang to the kitchen and tell her what she needs to do. I have something to say to Liu Nian."
Once only Chu Nian and Zhao Feiyang remained in the room, Zhao Feiyang said coldly, "Miss Liu Nian, you've been stuck at level two in the game for almost a month, and you've been subscribed to the contract for twenty days. Can you tell me how you've managed to survive until now?"
"Want to know?" Chu Nian laughed.
Zhao Feiyang suddenly found himself dropping levels rapidly, falling from level 98 to level 1 in the blink of an eye. However, he quickly leveled up back to level 98.
Zhao Feiyang suddenly realized, "So you really are that bugged big BOSS that the system has a bounty on." He paused for a moment, then asked, "Why did you steal my level, but then return it?"
Chu Nian: "I don't want to steal your level; I need a partner."
Zhao Feiyang raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Partner? You mean, you want to team up with me?"
Chu Nian: "I guess so. As you can see, I can not only steal other people's levels, but I can also make the conspicuous contract player mark above my head the same as yours ordinary players."
Zhao Feiyang: "What do you want to do by teaming up with me?"
He's decided to stop leveling up, which means he won't kill anyone anymore. Therefore, anyone teaming up with him can't kill anyone either, preventing them from leveling up. Almost everyone who knows him understands this, so nobody wants to team up with him.
What's the deal with this Liu Nian?
Chu Nian: "Destroy this game."
Zhao Feiyang remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "What makes you think I would agree to your request?"
Chu Nian laughed and said, "Just because you don't actively provoke people to kill, and only kill those who come to kill you. And because you've controlled your level since you reached level 98 and haven't leveled up."
Zhao Feiyang sighed and said, "It seems you've realized that even if we players reach the maximum level according to the game's requirements, we won't survive. But what makes you think you can destroy this game? Haven't you considered that everything we do in this game is controlled and monitored by the game's controllers?"
Chu Nian said, "I've thought about it. But I still want to destroy it, and I believe that's what you think too."
Zhao Feiyang remained silent for a long time, then said with a hint of helplessness, "You know, because I stayed in the game for too long and didn't sign a contract with the game company, my physical body has already died. If I leave this game, I might actually die."
Chu Nian: "Even without a physical body, you can still live as a ghost. And as long as you are strong enough, you can live as freely as a free person."
Zhao Feiyang: "Do you think I would believe you? In my understanding, there are no ghosts in the real world."
Chu Nian: "Yes, the ghosts have all been taken to the underworld by the Impermanence."
Zhao Feiyang: "Do you think I'll leave here, go to the underworld, and live the same life there?"
Chu Nian: "Perhaps you will be reincarnated, or perhaps you will remain in the underworld. It depends on your merits and sins during your life, and how they are judged."
Zhao Feiyang: "You've been to the underworld?"
Chu Nian: "I've been there, but I didn't stay long?"
Zhao Feiyang: "Why?"
Chu Nian shrugged helplessly and said, "I'm a bug, even in the underworld. I'm born with the five elements that counter the underworld."
Zhao Feiyang asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Chu Nian: "What I mean is that all the magic in the underworld is countered by me, so the underworld won't allow me to stay there for too long."
Zhao Feiyang: "Heh."
Chu Nian asked, "Have you heard of the final boss in this game, Xing?"
Zhao Feiyang shook his head blankly.
Chu Nian: "He is level 120. You will meet him when you reach the maximum level of 99."
