Seeing the girl panic, Si Lan comforted her: "Don't worry, wait and see."
Then, like other players, continue trying to disengage.
Unfortunately, they worked for a long time but were unable to leave smoothly.
But they stayed too long, and after a while, the real world began to notice their abnormality.
Five hours later, the customer service lines of the game company and the chip company were flooded with calls, and many people reported to the police station that their relatives and friends had entered the game and could never get out, and that the doctors in the hospital were unable to save them.
Such a large number of serious chip accidents were soon known to the game security department of Country T.
Wang Teng, the head of the security department, stared at the case report and asked solemnly, "Trapped in the game?"
This department is a gaming regulatory department specially established by the country after the popularity of games to ensure players have correct awareness and game safety.
Wei Wu, the young person in charge of chip technology, nodded. "According to public reports, a large number of players have been unable to escape after activating their chips."
"And after verification, these players are all players of the game "The First Empire". In other words, they are all trapped in this game."
Wang Teng frowned and glanced at the chip at hand: "This chip has a built-in forced disconnection program, right? This is useless?"
"It's useless. Furthermore, due to the chip's current stimulation, there have been cases of players dying after their chips were forcibly removed. Currently, hospitals do not recommend chip removal."
Wang Teng frowned solemnly: "This thing is really unreliable."
Then another group of staff were sent to activate the chip and venture into the game.
However, they discovered that the game had been closed for some unknown reason. They could only watch the players trapped in the game as bystanders, but they could not enter the game or communicate with the players in the game.
This incident was too serious, so Wang Teng naturally couldn't conceal it or take the blame alone.
He first reported the matter truthfully until the highest authorities of Country T also learned about it.
The agency immediately launched a special research plan and ordered the game security department to coordinate with relevant personnel from all walks of life to form a special team to conduct an emergency discussion on this incident.
In a short period of time, combined with data from the game monitoring station, the number of players worldwide identified as trapped in the game has exceeded 100 million at an unstoppable pace.
Country T has a large population, and the number of trapped players who have clearly obtained the information has reached tens of thousands.
The Supreme Leader issued another order: from this moment on, the task force must contact and reassure the in-game players as quickly as possible. Furthermore, they must bring the domestic players back to the real world safely, without any casualties.
Carrying such a heavy burden, the technical staff of the special team gave priority to researching ways to communicate with the players in the game, and strived to calm the chaotic players as soon as possible.
However, while they were actively handling the incident, the players trapped in the game were unaware of it.
Because the game's time flow is faster than reality, only a few hours have passed in real time, but the player has been trapped for a day and a night.
According to the introduction on the game interface, the trapped players learned that they had arrived on a desolate planet.
There are no houses or ready-made tools here, and resources are limited to a "scarce" level because of the hell mode.
People didn't even have straw mats around them, and quite a few players were even thrown into the mountainous area. In this huge desolate planet, they were helpless and had no one to turn to.
Some players who had just started playing infrastructure games and knew nothing about it shouted at the air: "Your game doesn't even have a straw mat, how can people play it?!"
"We didn't even choose Hell Mode, did we? You're forcing the game on us! Is the game manager here? Where's the person monitoring the game?! Come out! Give us an explanation! Otherwise, I'd rather die here than cooperate!"
Unfortunately, the game did not respond at all, and instead reminded everyone every five hours that they must complete the final mission of the game and establish the first empire before players can exit immersion mode and leave the game.
This is equivalent to telling everyone that no one can escape the game in this mode.
In such a situation, no matter how strong the players' mental qualities are, they can hardly resist.
The little girl who entered with Si Lan wiped her tears and asked Si Lan for the umpteenth time: "Sister, what should we do?! I want to go home, I miss my dad and mom!"
Si Lan looked at the players who were in chaos, then checked the time in the real world through her personal panel.
In the real world, several hours have passed since everyone was trapped in the game, but no one has been rescued.
According to the speed at which Country T does things and the importance the country attaches to its people, this should not have happened.
It seems that the country has also encountered considerable difficulties in the real world.
If even the country fails to provide immediate assistance, this matter will definitely not be resolved by just shouting.
She withdrew her gaze from the player and looked at her personal information.
Not to mention, her character's hunger and body temperature have been getting lower and lower as time goes by.
Due to the existence of the chip, when the value drops, the main body will also receive a corresponding "signal", causing the body to make a corresponding simulated reaction.
As her character's hunger bar and temperature bar turn yellow, she also feels "hungry" and "cold".
She didn't know why the nearby players didn't react. Perhaps it was because they were too panicked, and the adrenaline stimulated their bodies, making them unable to feel the changes in their body functions for a short time.
But this does not mean that if this continues, everyone will be safe.
She sighed silently in her heart, feeling a little helpless.
But he didn't say it out loud. He turned to the girl and said, "Let's go find something to eat first."
The little girl heard: "Looking for food?"
"It's already this late, how can I find food? How can I even be in the mood to find food?"
Even the adults around were in a mess, no one was in the mood to eat, drink, have fun or play games! Why is this big sister so calm? Is it because she has a very good attitude?
In the end, Si Lan only asked: "Are you hungry?"
Upon asking, the little girl finally noticed her rumbling stomach.
Look above your head again - a red progress bar appears with an icon representing food on it, which means this is the hunger value.
The little girl's eyes were filled with tears again: "This game requires eating. If I don't eat, I'll be hungry?!"
"It should be."
"Then I'm hungry in the game, and in the real world—"
"We are in the same situation. I can't answer your question. Why don't you consider the worst-case scenario?"
The little girl was shocked: Isn’t this sister too direct?!
Why don’t you even have the idea of coaxing or deceiving me!
But Si Lan was the only person she knew in this place, and she was a staff member of the experience area. Si Lan couldn't leave the game, so she didn't dare to do anything rash and could only follow Si Lan.
Si Lan took the child through the crowd and walked towards a forest on the side of the starting point.
Along the way, they encountered several players who had noticed the value changes and were about to start looking for food. Seeing Si Lan approaching with a child, they all looked at them.
However, Si Lan ignored all of it and just followed the map and walked forward.
Similar to most infrastructure farming games, the game starts with several basic maps such as forests, plains, mountains and water sources.
But as the difficulty changes, the distance and resources of the map also change accordingly.
Now this is Hell difficulty, and the forest with food resources is very far away from their plains.
The little girl who followed Si Lan walked to the back and was almost exhausted.
Panting, staring ahead: "So, so far, so tiring..."
They walked non-stop for almost an hour and were almost exhausted!
As a result, the older sister Si Lan had no intention of letting her rest for a while. When she walked to the end, she couldn't help it and just squatted on the grass without moving.
Unexpectedly, Si Lan didn't fall for it. She glanced at the girl's information panel and said calmly, "Your physical strength has only dropped by less than one-tenth. This must be your mental fatigue. Let's go."
girl:?
Is there such a tiredness?
She couldn't help but look at Si Lan again: Ever since entering the game world, she found that Si Lan's attitude had changed.
I can't say she's changed, but she's very different from other sisters in similar professions! She's cold and aloof, and doesn't try to accommodate customers at all.
The little girl pouted a little aggrievedly: If I had known today would be like this, I shouldn't have insisted on coming here to experience it.
She wanted to argue, but Si Lan ignored her and walked past her.
Little girl: “…”
The fear of being abandoned finally took over, and the girl had no choice but to get up and keep up.
Fortunately, Si Lan was right. She felt tired based on her daily activities, but in this game, her physical strength was not depleted as severely as she had imagined.
She followed Si Lan around the players on the road and walked into the forest without looking back.
At first, the trees in the forest were empty, no fruits were seen, and the trunks of the big trees were bare.
After walking deeper, they saw scattered wild fruits hanging on the trees.
"Wow! There are fruits! There are fruits on the tree!" The girl who had been worried all the way was finally happy.
Si Lan asked her, "Can you climb trees?"
The little girl was stunned for a moment before she shook her head blankly: "No..."
"Then learn it. Try it first. There aren't that many physical limitations in the game. Go ahead."
girl:?
"Sister, can't you help me..."
"cannot."
After Si Lan finished speaking, she quickly stepped back, took a run-up, and climbed onto the tree trunk.
There are a few round wild fruits hanging on the treetops, but they are not full and the quality is average. It is obvious that they are not precious or valuable things.
She picked a wild fruit from the tree, and immediately a message box popped up on her personal page:
-Ordinary wild fruit (lv.1)
- Spring and summer production
- Full map visible
-Speciality: None
- Fullness: 50-Very Low
