Chapter 2: Completely Unguarded
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s like a real-world inside the game. If you fail to complete the mission, not only will you not be able to save CEO Lu, but your consciousness will also be locked in the game. In other words, the both of you will continue sleeping.”
At this point, Lee Yuan’s expression turned serious. “Miss Tong, are you still willing to save CEO Lu?”
Human lives were at stake. He had to be cautious.
Tong Yi muttered ‘mm’ in agreement. She had no parents, was all alone, and she did not have any attachments to this world. If she failed to clear the game and ended up in a deep and endless sleep, she would have at least returned the favor by trying to save him with her life.
A look of gratitude flashed through Lee Yuan’s eyes. Then, he thought of something and said, “The unique selling point of this game is that it allows the gamer’s brainwaves to sync with his in-game character. Therefore, CEO Lu’s in-game character will act exactly like how he would in real life. Also, he will portray the most accurate version of what his subconscious is feeling or thinking. This information might be helpful for you to complete your mission.”
Tong Yi nodded and asked, “What is the game’s mission?”
“The previous game’s mission was for the protagonist to level up by killing monsters. A bug appeared in the game though so it’d be hard to say what the mission might be now.”
“Are you ready?” A worker’s voice called through the speakers.
Tong Yi said to Lee Yuan, “I will try my best to save him.”
Lee Yuan bowed slightly. “Thank you, Miss Tong.”
After Lee Yuan left, the worker’s voice rang again. “Miss Tong, please stand inside the scanning area.”
Tong Yi walked to the red scanning area in front of the gaming capsule.
A light swept across her body, and the next second, with a beep, the door to the gaming capsule opened.
The staff outside heaved a sigh of relief. The door to the gaming capsule had to be approved by Lu Zhanbei’s consciousness. They had all tried but couldn’t open it. Now, it has finally opened.
Tong Yi was also surprised that Lu Zhanbei was not guarded against her in the slightest.
She followed the staff’s instructions and sat on the seat next to Lu Zhanbei. After a series of procedures, Tong Yi closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she saw a completely unfamiliar environment.
She had entered the game world.
Tong Yi looked around. This looked like a hotel lounge.
A system interface popped up.
[Character Background: Lu Zhanbei is the eldest young master of the Lu family. You are the precious young lady of the Tong family. The Lu and Tong families are big, famous families here.
The current timeline is your engagement party to Lu Zhanbei’s brother.
Open the map and confirm Lu Zhanbei’s location.
Please send your friend, Ling Rui, to the mission location.
Accept the main mission: Abandon the party and go to the police station to save Lu Zhanbei.]
Tong Yi frowned. She was Lu Zhanbei’s sister-in-law in the game. Why was their relationship so complicated?
At that moment, the door was pushed open from the outside.
[Friend Ling Rui Appears] It was the system alert.
Tong Yi looked up. A man in his twenties wearing a floral jacket and Doc Martin boots walked in.
“Are you feeling better?” Ling Rui asked.
Tong Yi did not understand him. “Hm?”
“Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well?”
“I’m fine. Can you take me to the police station?”
“Huh?” Ling Rui’s handsome face was full of shock. “The banquet is about to start. Why would you want to go to the police station now?”
“I’ve got to save someone,” Tong Yi said as she walked toward the door.
Ling Rui followed behind with a confused expression. “Who could be more important than your engagement party?”
“Lu Zhanbei.”
Ling Rui thought he must have heard wrongly. “What did you say?”
Tong Yi looked at Ling Rui calmly. “Cancel the engagement party. I’m going to the police station to save Lu Zhanbei.”
“What?!” Ling Rui was so shocked that his eyeballs almost fell out of their socket. Had he just heard a shocking secret?!
