Global recovery: A century of being stuck in the game

Tao Yao smiled brightly, but her words were merciless: "I politely declined."

Being rejected, the Ghost Emperor was inevitably a little frustrated, but he still nodded: "Okay, but don't worry, I won't reveal your identity."

Tao Yao raised an eyebrow: "Huh? I don't mean to hide my identity."

After saying that, she turned around and closed the door without hesitation.

I hope no one will bother her anymore.

The Ghost Emperor stood outside the door, completely confused.

No hidden identity?

No, no, he shook his head.

Although she did not hide her identity, he did not intend to tell anyone else.

Whoever can discover it can discover it.

In fact, it is not unreasonable for him to want to curry favor with others.

Before this, he just hoped to make friends, but after seeing several beta test players in other novice villages, he realized that he was one level short of the level of being able to become an emperor.

It can be seen that this is related to the main task of the village.

Taoyao is the number one person in their Dawang Village. If they want to cooperate together, they will definitely choose Dawang Village.

That's why he came here specially.

He didn't stay here long and left soon.

Unlike Tao Yao, he did not receive any reward from the City Lord's Mansion and did not have much money to stay in Zuixing Tower. It was good enough that he could make do in some inns.

outside world.

In just two days, Taoyao's new strategy guide was seen by all players.

Her analysis was very detailed. Many people were particularly interested in the immortal fate and cultivating immortals, and they paid more attention to the affairs of the mainland. If it were not for the fact that staying in there without coming out to eat would cause physical exhaustion, they would have wanted to stay in there forever.

But at the same time, some people's thoughts are clearer.

Since there are monsters and immortals, how can it not be dangerous?

It is not certain what kind of terrible monsters will appear by then. Ghosts are scary, but so are demons.

Besides, there are constraints of the rules of the game in Lingyou Tower, but one can still pass through it with talent and wisdom.

What about in Advent Continent?

You can only rely on your own strength!

Just like what Yaoyao said, we can have a good rest, recharge our batteries, and not have to face danger from both sides at the same time!

So some people have made up their minds and simply don't enter the game.

The Special Administrative Region is very supportive of this.

Because they don't want too many people to die in the game.

The Ghost Emperor naturally also saw this post. He sat at the table in a daze for a long time and made a decision.

To be precise, he got some information about Lingyou Tower from the boss. At the end of the last mission, in addition to the electric baton, he also got some Lingyou.

His advantage in Lingyou Tower is much greater than in Jiaoyang City, so specializing in Lingyou Tower may not be a bad thing.

It just so happened that he hadn't slept well these days, so now he could have a good rest.

During the few days Tao Yao was in the game, he spent all his time practicing except for eating and sleeping, and people still died in the city every day.

The players in the city are not stupid. They will log off when it gets dark to prevent themselves from being killed by mistake while sleeping.

That day, Tao Yao left the game and sat on the sofa to eat. Li Xia sat beside him holding his phone, looking a little absent-minded, completely different from his usual self.

Something must have happened.

Taoyao put down her chopsticks after finishing her meal, making a slight "click" sound.

Even so, it did not attract Li Xia's attention.

This is even less like him.

"What happened?" Tao Yao asked directly.

Li Xia came back to her senses after hearing the voice and shook her head: "No, nothing."

Tao Yao raised her hand: "Give me the phone."

Li Xia responded to her command almost reflexively and handed over the phone directly.

After Tao Yao took it, he came to his senses, but it was too late to take it back.

The phone screen shows a group. This is the first team of the Special Operations Bureau’s branch in Haicheng. There are only thirty people in the group?

Scroll up and look at the chat history.

It was a video of only a few seconds sent by the captain.

The following is a passage he posted.

"Five people died in the Sunshine Building in the south of the city. Someone saw a white shadow and suspected that there was a ghost. People have been sent to seal it off, but the two people who went in have disappeared without a trace."

Click on the video again.

It is a building more than ten stories high, giving people a gloomy feeling.

There were many people in police uniforms surrounding them, but they all had a dead air about them.

Further down are other people’s comments.

"Could this be the advent of the game?"

“Is there really a ghost in there? If we let the players in, that should solve the problem, right?”

"We can't take risks. Players are ordinary people. Although there are talent levels in the game, this is not a game. How can we let ordinary people take risks?"

While the others were discussing, the captain sent another message: "The higher-ups have ordered us to send a few more people in to investigate. They are to be equipped with the most advanced tracking systems and video recorders. We must find out the situation inside."

Tao Yao lowered her eyes and looked for a while.

It seems that the recovery has begun. Strange things have appeared in reality. Will it be too late for the game to come out?

Li Xia, who was standing by, carefully observed her expression and asked in a low voice, "Ms. Tao, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Tao Yao handed it back to him and said, "Let everyone withdraw and don't let anyone go in to investigate. I can tell you responsibly that there is indeed something strange inside."

Li Xia was already nervous, and he gritted his teeth when he heard this: "But if there's no one guarding, won't the weird come out and cause trouble?"

Tao Yao curled her lips slightly: "Let them continue to guard, they will all die."

Li Xia tightened her grip on the phone and typed quickly.

As his message was sent, everyone looking at their phones seemed to be frozen in place.

Almost the next second, his cell phone rang.

He didn't bother to say anything to Tao Yao and answered the call directly.

"Hey, Captain."

"How did you know about those things that were said in the group?"

"That's what Miss Tao said."

"I see. I will report this to my superior. You can ask her how to resolve this matter."

The name Yao Yao still carries a lot of weight.

Because her knowledge of the game is ahead of everyone else.

So her words are worthy of attention.

After hanging up the phone, Li Xia looked at Tao Yao again: "Miss Tao, this was my captain calling just now. Do you know how to solve this kind of thing?"

Although the Special Operations Bureau has special powers, the director has never entered the game. They don't understand the game, and they know even less about weirdness.

Tao Yao: "Let everyone leave and take me to the Sunshine Building to have a look."

Li Xia objected without thinking: "No! How can I let you take risks?"

In the eyes of all of them, Tao Yao is just an ordinary person.

But they don’t know that since he started upgrading in the game, Tao Yao can clearly feel that his physical fitness has improved every time he comes back.

Although it is not as good as in the game, it is also a real improvement.

Not to mention that she is now at the eighth level of Qi training and can also feel the faint presence of spiritual energy here.

In other words, she is now able to use the power of the Qi Refining Stage. Although it is quite different from her original strength, it is more than enough to deal with a few black shadow ghosts.

The game is still in its early stages. As the Land of Advent approaches, spiritual energy is growing in the Blue Star. The weirdness formed by this weak spiritual energy is far inferior to that of the same level in the Lingyou Tower.

But if she guessed correctly, there was not just something weird in there, but ghosts.

Although it is also a kind of weird thing, ghosts are illusory and come and go without a trace. Ordinary people can't see them at all, let alone deal with them.

Even if you encounter something strange, you can still fight with all your might.

If you encounter a ghost, you can only hope for the best.

Tao Yao: "I know my limits."

Li Xia was actually quite worried about the situation at Sunshine Building. According to Tao Yao, the situation was so serious that they probably couldn't solve it at all.

He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Then let's go outside and take a look. We can't go in."

This was the first time he made a request to Taoyao.

Tao Yao said "hmm" perfunctorily and stood up first to open the door.

Li Xia followed her.

There was a car assigned to him by the bureau downstairs. He got in the car, stepped on the accelerator and headed towards the south of the city.

The distance was not far, and the car stopped in just over half an hour.

From a distance, I saw a building with more than ten floors. The location was quite remote and there were only a few houses around it.

Despite Taoyao's reminder, those who were guarding only retreated and still did not leave.

As soon as Li Xia got off the car, a tall and strong man came over.

He was dressed in military uniform, standing straight, looking at Li Xia with an inexplicable pressure in his eyes: "Why did you bring her here?"

They want to protect these players, not let them take risks.

It would have been fine if he told Taoyao what happened here, but he actually dared to bring people here. It's really infuriating.

Li Xia opened her mouth to explain, but the other party had already given the order: "Take her back, immediately!"

Li Xia lowered her head, "Yes..."

He turned to get in the car, but Tao Yao had already opened the door on the other side. She smiled and said, "Captain Qu, you don't have to blame him. I asked him to bring me here."

Captain Qu: "Nonsense! Do you know how dangerous this place is?"

Tao Yao closed the car door and said, "Don't worry, I know my limits. The weird things here are most likely the legendary ghosts. These ghosts are unwilling to die, or die with hatred or die unjustly, which will lead to them becoming evil ghosts and harming people. I think, instead of worrying about me, you should first let someone check whether this Sunshine Building is worthy of its name."

There seemed to be a smile in her eyes, but it didn't actually reach her eyes.

According to her, someone must have died in vain here.

Captain Qu's expression suddenly became more serious: "I'll go right away. Since Miss Tao knows her limits, you can just wait and see outside."

After saying that, he turned around and made a phone call.

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief, as he thought he was going to take Taoyao away.

But even though he stayed, he also received such sad news: "Miss Tao, is what you just said true?"

Tao Yao: "I don't need to lie to you."

As she said this, she winked at Li Xia.

Li Xia came around from the other side of the car, not knowing what was going on. "What's wrong?"

After all, he and Taoyao had not spent much time together, so it was impossible for them to have enough tacit understanding with each other. He didn't know what she wanted to express, but he had enough motivation to act.

Tao Yao tilted her head slightly, and he bent over to listen.

After hearing her instructions, Li Xiaren was dumbfounded: "Miss Tao, this...is not good, right? If anything happens to you, I will be blamed!"

Tao Yao only gave him two words: "Trust me."

Li Xia looked at her and then at Captain Qu who was on the phone in the distance. After hesitating for a moment, she finally nodded: "Okay, come with me!"

Others don’t know Taoyao.

Li Xia led Tao Yao straight to the Sunshine Building, and during the trip, they only received one question: "Who is this?"

Li Xia: "People sent by higher-ups to assist us in this operation."

Then he was let go.

Who could have thought that Li Xia would lie to them?

After all, these are all our own people.

When Tao Yao crossed the encirclement, Captain Qu happened to call and arranged everything. He turned around and found that Tao Yao was missing, and was immediately shocked.

It turned out that Taoyao was not far from Sunshine Building.

He panicked and yelled, "Li Xia, I'll fuck you..."

Before he could finish his words, he had already run out, shouting as he ran: "Stop her!"

Everyone was a little confused, but still followed the order.

Only Li Xia stiffened for a moment when she heard Captain Qu swearing, and then she followed Tao Yao into the Sunshine Building without thinking.

The people behind could no longer catch up and just stopped outside.

Captain Qu was so angry that he cursed Li Xia, the son of a bitch, for not being obedient and bringing Tao Yao in!

He was thinking in his heart how he should explain this to his superiors.

That bad boy Li Xia has caused him so much trouble!

When Li Xia entered the Sunshine Building and heard the cursing outside, the corners of his mouth twitched violently. He was extremely grateful in his heart that he had followed him.

Otherwise the captain would definitely beat him to death.

Tao Yao glanced at him: "What are you doing here?"

Li Xia said stubbornly: "I am worried about you. If I bring you here, I must bring you back safely. How can I let you take risks alone?"

Tao Yao did not expose him: "The yin energy here is not strong, follow me closely and don't fall behind."

Li Xia: "Okay."

Tao Yao walked in front, her destination was the stairwell.

Li Xia followed behind, hugging her arms unconsciously, feeling a little cold.

As soon as he came in just now, he felt that this place was different from outside.

The sun is shining outside and the air is warm, but it is cold in here.

Just like Miss Tao said, there really is a ghost here.

This was the first time in his life that he had been involved in something like this. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous.

But he also knew his mission, which was not to let Taoyao get hurt, so he kept his eyes on the person in front of him from beginning to end.
