Sick beauty loses horse in thriller game

"I think I have roughly figured out your friend's affairs." Cheng Mujun said, "Let's talk privately next. I will tell you what you want to know and what you should know."

"Are my two friends in the crystal mine the same as these four? If they want to leave, do they also need to pay some game props?" Jiang Lai asked.

As she asked, she paid attention to the progress bar of the repair of the artifact spirit in the Treasure Mansion. Seeing that the current repair amount was less than 5%, she realized that this would be a long process.

According to her conservative estimate, they would all have to stay in this mansion for at least four more hours.

Therefore, she was not in a hurry and wanted to ask about her companions' situation first.

"You value your friends very much. This is a good quality." Cheng Mujun praised: "I just said that the two of them can also leave here. However, they need to pay an extra price."

"Although the two of them were disturbed during the game, after all, they were unable to complete their own puzzle game. This is a fact."

"Then what price will they have to pay?" Jiang Lai asked with a frown.

"Their innate skills will be taken away." Cheng Mujun said with a sigh.

His voice was full of regret.

Jiang Lai pursed his lips.

There is nothing that can be done about losing one's innate skills.

In this situation, it is good enough to be able to save your life.

"Let's go and have a talk." Jiang Lai said to Cheng Mujun.

Cheng Mujun pursed his lips and began to feel a little nervous.

He didn't know what Jiang Lai would think of him, her non-biological father, if he told her the truth.

What would she think about the affairs of her biological parents and six masters.

Would she feel resentment towards him because of his choice?

……

For a moment, Cheng Mujun's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

It was clearly he who proposed to tell Jiang Lai everything, but when the time came and he was about to tell her those past events, he actually felt somewhat reluctant and wanted to back out.

Noticing that Cheng Mujun seemed to be hesitant, Jiang Lai looked at him in surprise and called him "senior" again.

A bitter smile suddenly appeared on Cheng Mujun's face.

Whatever.

No matter what Jiang Lai would think, he needed to tell her the truth.

Not only because of the parent-child relationship between them, but also because she is about to inherit his mantle, everything in this mansion, and his identity as the administrator of this world.

Cheng Mujun brought Jiang Lai to a room on the second floor and sat down at the table.

"I think I should first tell you about your life experience, our relationship, and the origin and beginning of everything in the Treasure House..." Cheng Mujun pursed his lips and spoke incoherently.

He found that when he was really about to speak, he didn't know where to start with the plan he had previously planned and what he wanted to say to Jiang Lai.

There was only a blank in his brain.

"Ah, then please start from the beginning and tell me slowly." Jiang Lai said.

Cheng Mujun nodded.

"Do you know why the Thorn Game appears in this world?"

Before he began to tell the story, he asked Jiang Lai.

"It's because of... that bronze door." Jiang Lai thought about it and gave this answer.

"You are right and wrong." Cheng Mujun said: "To be precise, it should be after the bronze door was damaged and became incomplete that the Thorn Game appeared."

"In fact, the name of the Thorn Game is not the Thorn Game, and it is not a game for human players."

"The Thorn Game originates from a higher level parallel dimension, the world of gods. There, the name of this game is called Cultural Journey."

The cultural journey is a training journey specially set up by the authorities in the world of the Gods, for the younger generation of the gods, immortals, dragons, etc. These races only exist in the myths and legends of Blue Star but actually exist in the Gods’ World.

"You feel that the game's settings are complicated, especially the epic purgatory-level game dungeons, which are difficult to pass. For most players, it is almost a sure death. That's because this game, especially the epic purgatory-level game dungeons, is not aimed at human players, but at those races that possess immortal power, divine power, or are particularly strong."

"In fact, most of the dungeons you have come into contact with, except for the epic purgatory level, are actually simplified versions of the original game. They are already the easiest to clear."

Jiang Lai was stunned.

She never imagined that the copy that was almost impossible for human players to pass was just the basic version.

Cheng Mujun sighed and said slowly: "I can tell you responsibly that the reason why the gods and the world placed the bronze door here is not to allow the humans of this world to enter the game and become game players."

"The purpose of the bronze door is to collect, not to force the people here to get involved in a horror game that most people can't even complete."

"Collect?!" Jiang Lai frowned and asked, "What do you want to collect?"

She was afraid that the bronze door was collecting human lives or souls, which would have a negative impact on the world she lived in.

"It collects all kinds of strange anecdotes from this world, all kinds of incredible weird stories, and so on."

Cheng Mujun answered Jiang Lai's questions and said, "The powerful people in the Gods' World believe that the various information collected in the Three Thousand Worlds can increase the knowledge of the young people in the Gods' World, allowing them to have a broader vision, sharper thinking, broader knowledge, and so on."

Jiang Lai thought about it, integrated his own insights into what Cheng Mujun had just said, and roughly deduced the truth of the matter.

"In short, the mighty ones in the world of gods possess great power. In order to benefit their descendants, they created many bronze doors and placed them in various worlds to collect various information there."

"The authorities believe that allowing the youth of the Gods' World to enter the dangerous small world constructed by the various information collected by the Bronze Gate, that is, various game copies, to train will help increase the youth's knowledge and improve their ability to deal with problems."

"Yes. That's it." Cheng Mujun said.

Jiang Lai nodded and continued...
