Chapter 1008: Chapter 1008 - 447: Green Demon Arc – Convergence

In reality.

Qi Sheng stared intently at the two screens in front of him.

One screen was a surveillance screen, showing an empty room.

The other screen kept replaying a certain surveillance clip.

In the clip, the man in the room vanished in an instant, like particles disintegrating.

"Monster..."

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, Qi Sheng would never believe that a human could do such a thing.

Is that guy considered dead now?

Or is he in that world?

To be honest, Qi Sheng couldn’t understand.

That mysterious game world is full of too many unknowns.

He had already arranged for his subordinates to enter the game, but almost none landed in the same town.

Separated all over the world, the vastness of the area made it impossible for him to gather all his people together in a short time.

After all, without power, the wilderness of that world is not a place anyone can go out to at will.

Qi Sheng faced two choices, one was to let his subordinates work separately, gather intelligence, increase their strength, and lie in wait.

The other was to have them start mass suicides, using the game mechanics to be randomly reborn at other locations, trying to gather his people in the same town, maximizing collective effectiveness.

In the end, Qi Sheng had only half of his people start the suicide-reborn cycle, but the current progress was merely that some people were reborn close to their companions in terms of geographic location.

"It’s necessary to increase the base, invest more manpower, but with this many people will be out of my control..."

Qi Sheng fell into contemplation.

Fully loyal subordinates are actually few, increasing manpower invariably results in discord, possibly turning all efforts into mere futility.

"..."

Qi Sheng thought of a plan, a rather dark plan.

He opened his phone and dialed a number.

"President Qi! It’s rare to receive your call, could there be a big business deal coming my way?"

A cheerful voice came through from the other end of the line.

"Indeed, there’s a big deal for you. I need a batch of weapons, delivered directly to me."

"President Qi... a cross-border deal is no issue, but the country you’re in has strict regulations on this..."

"Double the price."

"Deal!"

Hanging up the phone, Qi Sheng was thoughtful, then he called his secretary.

"Xiao Shui, go to the dark web, post a recruitment ad. Only for Seeking Demon’s professional players, priority for those with characters and accounts, one million a year per person, upfront payment, direct transfer, closed management, let’s start with 1000 people."

"Chairman, closed management means...?"

"In a few days, a batch of weapons will arrive, have the idle retired soldiers under me get moving, I’ll tell you the location later."

"...Yes!"

Having arranged everything, Qi Sheng took a deep breath.

With everything about to change dramatically, all extreme measures must be used.

Even if some might hate him because of it, he had to be prepared.

As long as he could save his daughter and protect his family, he was willing to dirty his hands.

Hmm?

As Qi Sheng thought about this, a person suddenly appeared on the real-time surveillance screen!

"Fang Yu!"

Swish!

Qi Sheng turned and headed straight for Fang Yu’s room!

...

Bam!

The door was slammed open, Fang Yu looked at the newcomer in surprise, then calmed down.

"Uncle."

The feeling was, very subtle.

In reality, when he entered the game, his body directly disappeared.

But in the game, when exiting, that body remained within the game.

Was it because of different rules or some other reason, Fang Yu didn’t understand.

Perhaps after the apocalypse comes, this situation might change, but for now, it was as it was.

"Have you found a way to save Jin Er?"

Fang Yu initially wanted to nod directly, but thinking that it was still uncertain, he hesitated, then said softly: "Give me a little more time, I already have a direction, if there’s progress, I’ll let you know first, Uncle."

"..."

Qi Sheng did not speak, just stared at Fang Yu, then slowly spoke while looking directly into Fang Yu’s eyes: "I don’t care what you’re hiding, I just want my daughter to live again, no matter the cost, no matter what you want!"

"Uncle..."

Fang Yu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Qi Sheng.

"You seem tired, if you want anything to eat, tell the chef at the research institute, he’ll prepare it for you."

After saying this, Qi Sheng turned and left.

Tired...

Fang Yu touched his face.

After synchronizing his character, Fang Yu’s real-world body was already no longer the weak and frail physique of a shut-in.

Thus, this bit of fatigue should have been brought back from all the experiences in the game.

Fang Yu opened his phone.

If he could obtain the [Life Seed] from Brother Qing, things would make substantial progress, then he would inform Qi Sheng of some circumstances, but for now, he had a direction, progress was practically zero, Fang Yu really didn’t want to give Qi Sheng hope that might fall through.

On his phone, Fang Yu directly opened the game forum.

To reach the Hidden Land of demons, there are two prerequisites.

The first is to reach the entrance of the Hidden Land.

The second is to obtain the Demon Leader’s authorization.

Both are indispensable.

Fang Yu doesn’t know if those few ancestors have a way to solve the second problem.

If they can’t solve the authorization issue, then it’s just stirring up the hornet’s nest, lurking at the door, killing a few demons that venture out, is meaningless.
