    Chapter 30 Chapter 30 In the darkness, a pair…

    In the darkness, pairs of eyes shone with a strange luster, and the reclusive high-level players in the game all opened their eyes at this moment.

    “What happened? Why is the game shaking and finally about to explode?”

    “Why did joker go crazy again?”

    “A group of players broke through the dark instance and escaped.”

    “?!”

    “Really? Are you talking in your sleep? Doesn’t it mean that players can never escape from the game?!”

    “Of course it’s true, otherwise joker would be so angry?”

    “Escape? Won’t Yugi catch you?”

    “We must arrest them, but there are too many people. It will take some time.”

    “Aren’t the dark dungeons just some trashy shrimps? Do they have this kind of ability? If they have this kind of ability, they won’t be killed by the killing line.”

    “If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself.”

    “It’s so funny, who asked Joker to clear his inventory and suddenly raise the kill line, causing so many players to fall into the dark dungeon, and all of them ran away.”

    “Sad news: the joker really became a joker.”

    “Hahahahaha you? If you say that you are risking your life, joker will really kill you?”

    “Pretend I didn’t say it, hee hee.”

    “No, even we don’t have this ability. How on earth did they do it? This is unreasonable.”

    “Since the new customer service arrived, these little pieces of garbage have become a lot more active. This time it may have something to do with customer service.”

    “What’s the background of this customer service?”

    “I don’t know, but it doesn’t matter anymore. If he tries to cause such a big problem in the game, no matter where he comes from, he will definitely be killed by the joker.”

    “Isn’t the Ghost Painter protecting him?”

    “Ghost Painter? The game has been targeting him recently. I think he can’t even protect himself.”

    ·

    As dinner approached, Zhang Yu finally received new news.

    [Player: There is a bad boy who caused me a lot of trouble.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Dear, here you are, what’s the trouble?】

    [Player: I had a tank of fish. It was fine, but he opened a hole in the tank and let the fish escape.】

    [Player: I am hungry and ready to eat fish. No one can bear this.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Um?Then catch the fish? Bring it back?】

    [Player: Of course we have to catch him.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Come on, dear.】

    [Player: Haha.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Believe in yourself!】

    [Player: …Okay.】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: By the way, I don’t understand at all.】

    [Player:?】

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Since your fish has escaped, shouldn’t you catch it quickly?How come? Is there any time? Come to customer service.】

    There was no sound in the conversation. Zhang Yu thought about it secretly. He estimated that the other party didn’t know how to catch fish, otherwise he would have been busy long ago. He still had time to chat with customer service.

    Although catching fish is not difficult, it does require some skills. Maybe this level of skills is too difficult for the other party, Zhang Yu thought thoughtfully?

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: You don’t know how to catch fish, right?】

    [Player:…]

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as you have a will, no one is born to know everything, but you can’t? Find some short videos to learn, you can always learn it![thumb]]

    [Customer service Xiao Zhang: Trust me, I have experience.】

    The message was sent, but there was no response from the other party. They probably looked for videos to learn from.

    Zhang Yu nodded with satisfaction, feeling that his ability to adapt to changing situations has been significantly improved.

    It’s so flexible.

    Can AI do this?

    Can it!

    After replying to the message, it was Zhang Yu’s lunch break time.

    Lunch boxes were already set up in the tea room, and Zhang Yumei started eating them happily.

    Halfway through the meal, a question suddenly arose in Zhang Yu’s mind – the company doesn’t have a canteen, and everyone else has also gone on a business trip. Who sent the lunch boxes that appear on time every day?

    Why have I never seen the food delivery person?

    Doubts were doubts, and Zhang Yu didn’t think too much about it. After eating and drinking, he started taking a lunch break.

    While he was drowsily sleeping, he was woken up by a rustling sound that seemed to stick to him and couldn’t stop for a while.

    Zhang Yu could only get up with difficulty.

    But when he got up, the noise stopped suddenly and the source could not be found.

    Zhang Yu guessed that it was the movement outside. This cheap office building was not soundproof, so it disturbed the cows and horses from their lunch break.

    Now that he is awake, Zhang Yu can only continue to work.

    As he continued to work, the rustling sound came back, interrupting Zhang Yu’s train of thought.

    Zhang Yu held his breath and concentrated, leaning forward to follow the sound and touch it.

    This time the sound was not interrupted, allowing Zhang Yu to successfully find the source – the company’s utility room.

    The utility room is in the corner of the floor. Zhang Yu has never been here before.

    When he arrived at the door, Zhang Yu hesitated again, wondering whether he could go in.

    But suddenly there were several slight sobbing sounds in the utility room, as if a child was crying.

    Zhang Yu was startled, and without caring about anything else, he quickly opened the door and went in.

    The moment he opened the door, the sound suddenly stopped, and the room was filled with dead silence.

    It seemed as if the movement just now was just Zhang Yu’s auditory hallucination.

    Zhang Yu: “?”

    He turned on the light casually. There were not many things piled up in the room, and there was no hiding space. The figure huddled in the corner was particularly conspicuous——

    A little girl in her teens huddled in the corner, looking at Zhang Yu tremblingly, with a flustered expression and wet tears on her face.

    This girl seemed to have just come off the party stage. She was dressed strangely, like a green plant, with many fresh branches on her body…

    The whole family was relatively silent. After a long time, the girl timidly said, “Hello?”

    “Oh, you’re good, you’re good.” Zhang Yu came to his senses, “Who are you, and why are you in the storage room of our company?”

    “I’m Luo Jin, I’m here to see the ghost painter.” The girl said crisply.

    Is he a relative of the ghost painter? Zhang Yu was shocked in his heart. For such a young child, the parents actually trusted her to go out alone to find someone.

    “He’s not here right now. How about you come out and sit for a while and I can help you? Contact him.”

    “Okay.” Luo Jin walked out obediently.

    Zhang Yu took Luo Jin to the tea room to rest. While sending a message to the ghost painter, he asked: “What are you doing with him?”

    “Draw.”

    “Oh oh.”

    “Draw a portrait.” Luo Jin said calmly, “I’m going to die soon. If I don’t draw it, it will be too late.”

    Zhang Yu was stunned and suddenly looked up at Luo Jin.

    There were still tears on Luo Jin’s face, but her eyes were as numb as a child’s: “I have been parasitized by seeds, and I will become a complete vegetative state soon.”

    rustle——

    A strange sound came from Luo Jin, but she did not speak or even move. Only the branches on her hair twitched slightly.

    There was a thunder in Zhang Yu’s mind, and he felt so blessed that all the disobediences found an outlet.

    “Are you a player?” Zhang Yu asked.

    Luo Jin nodded slightly.

    “The seeds you are talking about are props in the game, and the vegetative plant is the effect of the props, right?”

    Luo Jin continued to nod.

    Zhang Yu’s eyes darkened, and he half-thought about scolding the company with a bowl in hand – look at the good things the company did with this game, it poisoned the children’s brains!

    This has reached the point where it is impossible to distinguish between reality and fiction.

    What a sin.

    Parents? You won’t come to the company to compensate you…

    Zhang Yu looked at the branches on the girl’s body. At first glance, they looked like they were growing out of the girl’s body.

    But as an adult who has seen the world at comic exhibitions, Zhang Yu is not surprised at all. Nowadays, the craftsmanship has become more advanced, and it is not unusual to be able to make more realistic makeup.

    Should I say it or not, this girl’s hands-on ability is quite strong.

    “Um,” Zhang Yu tried hard to organize his words and said softly, “That’s it, you won’t turn into a vegetative state, let alone die.”

    “Will you die? Brother, the seed parasitism has reached the final stage and there is no way to save it.”

    Zhang Yubi explained flexibly: “This is just a game, it will not affect you. In real life, these tree branches on your body are all fake. If you don’t believe me, I will pull them out for you. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you.”

    Luo Jin shook her head: “Brother, you can’t pull it out.”

    “Don’t worry, it’s no problem.” Zhang Yu squatted down, eye level with Luo Jin, his eyes were clear, “Okay? Do you believe me?”

    Luo Jin was stunned and nodded unconsciously.

    “Don’t be afraid, it’s okay.” Zhang Yu grabbed the branches and pulled them gently, peeling them off easily.

    After taking off the last branch, Zhang Yu smiled: “See, brother didn’t lie to you?”

    Luo Jin looked at Zhang Yu and then at the branches on the ground, as if she still hadn’t realized what happened.

    “Brother, are you okay?” Luo Jin asked blankly.

    Zhang Yu casually gathered the branches and threw them into the trash can: “How could it happen? I’m a reliable adult.”

    “Indeed.” A man’s voice suddenly sounded.

    Zhang Yu turned around and saw the ghost painter who had not been seen in the morning quietly appeared and stood at the door looking at him.

    Zhang Yu subconsciously raised his eyes and smiled: “You? Are you here so quickly?”

    It didn’t take long before he finished sending the message.

    “It was already on the way.” The ghost painter explained, walked in and stood next to Zhang Yu.

    Zhang Yu pointed at Luo Jin: “This little girl is looking for you. Do you know each other?”

    The ghost painter nodded: “That’s right.”

    “She…” Zhang Yu hesitated, not being able to explain clearly that girls were addicted to games and couldn’t tell the difference between reality and reality.

    The ghost painter understood: “I understand, I will arrange it, don’t worry.”

    Zhang Yu felt relieved and returned to his workstation happily.

    After Zhang Yu left, Luo Jin couldn’t help but take a few steps back and asked timidly: “Is he the customer service?”

    “It’s him.”

    “He is more powerful than the legend.” Luo Jin was still immersed in shock, “No wonder he was able to let go of so many players. I didn’t believe it at first…”

    The ghost painter raised his lips and said, “You’re fine now. Do you still want to paint a portrait?”

    “Let’s draw.” Luo Jin suddenly woke up, “I’ll use it sooner or later.”

    ·

    “It’s so itchy.” Black Spider scratched his neck irritably. He was so strong that he scratched the skin in just a few strokes. “Are you allergic? Why is it so itchy?”

    “You? Don’t scratch like that,” Tong Wei stopped him. “The more you scratch, the more itchy you become. Bear with it.”

    “How can I bear this? I always feel like something is about to grow.”

    “Isn’t it because he wants to grow? He has lost his brain, right?” Anna Ding laughed.

    Black Spider: “…I’m serious.”

    “I’ll go find you some medicine.” Yu Ying stood up.

    “You are still sensible, kid.” Black Spider was pleased.

    Although they returned to reality, none of them were in a hurry to go home. Black Spider and Anna Ding didn’t care, while Tong Wei was worried about bringing bad luck home.

    After thinking about it, they sneaked into Yu Ying’s house. There happened to be no one here, and all the supplies were available. The cat could be used as long as it took.

    The game has never had such a large-scale player escape incident. It will definitely not give up and will catch the players back sooner or later.

    They can’t hide, but they can do something else before the consequences happen.

    For example, find as many gatekeepers as possible and find ways to destroy the “doors” to increase the cost of running the game.

    They can’t destroy the game, but they can always add some chaos to it.

    It’s just that it’s easier said than done. In the vast sea of ​​people, I don’t know where to start.

    “Tsk.” Anna Ding shook her shoulders, “I seem to have been infected by you, and my body also started to itch… It’s so itchy…”
