Two people chatted for a while, and Lin Chen said he was going to bed.

However, Liu Mengyao still felt extremely happy.

She couldn't sleep.

So, she pulled Bai Shuyi to chat, and even told her about Lin Chen selling his house for her dream.

For ordinary people, buying a house to play games is a bit crazy.

What's more, this is a game that is about to be taken offline and permanently shut down!

But for a young girl who doesn't lack money, Lin Chen's behavior is undoubtedly very romantic.

It reveals the taste of true love everywhere.

Even Bai Shuyi, who was usually indifferent to men, couldn't help but say, "Now that you've found such a good boyfriend, Yao Yao, you won't need me at all in the future, right?"

There was a bit of a sour taste to it.

After finishing the chat with Liu Mengyao, Bai Shuyi immediately opened a chat box.

The name above the other person's name clearly read four words: Guild Leader!

[Little Birdy: Guild Leader, I found out that Lin Zhongchenxi doesn't know any inside information. The reason he continues to invest heavily in the game is because his in-game CP, my good sister, can't bear to leave the game, so she wants to travel to every place in the game during the last moments.]

[Xuemo: Just that? I saw his investment today, not to mention anything else, that mythical Vermilion Bird alone must have cost a lot of money, right? Didn't this Lin Zhongchenxi also buy a house?]

[Little Birdy: Yes! He sold the house in order to become stronger in the game, so he could take my sister to every corner of the game, and even clear the most difficult dungeons with her.]

[Xuemo: I didn't expect that he would be such a romantic. I thought there was some inside information that led him to sell his house and invest in this soon-to-be-shut-down game!]

[Little Birdy: I haven't found anything yet... How about this? Since I'm already living in the same house as him now, I'll let you know if there's any news.]

[Xuemo: Thank you for your hard work, Shuyi. It's best to try to get more information out of him. Let me know if there's any news!]

[Little Birdy: Okay, I'm going to sleep now.]

Bai Shuyi turned off her phone.

She didn't think too much about it. Besides, she was a little tired after driving for a few hours, so she went straight to sleep.

She woke up at eight in the morning.

She could already hear noises in the living room. Sure enough, as soon as she went out, she found Lin Chen eating breakfast.

"You're awake? Want something to eat?"

Lin Chen pushed a breakfast to the seat opposite.

"I'll wash up first," Bai Shuyi said and went into the bathroom.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen was browsing the official website of *New World* on his tablet.

According to his memory, the announcement that completely declared the death of the *New World* online game should be released this morning, around this time.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Chen logged into the official website, he saw an announcement that occupied the entire page.

[We regret to inform you that the server 'Star Stone,' which carries the *New World* online game, has reached the end of its life. After the last bit of energy is exhausted, *New World* will leave us forever! As is well known, the *New World* game was not actually developed by us, but a peculiar stone discovered in space by our Blue Star's research team, which contained this unprecedented masterpiece of an online game.]

[Over the years, our company has invested nearly 100 billion yuan, and our researchers have worked hard for twenty years, putting in a lot of sweat, but ultimately failed to crack the secret of the 'Star Stone!']

[It has to be said, this is a huge regret!]

[Therefore, we have no ability to provide any form of compensation or assistance to any players!]

[The only thing we can do is to concentrate all the remaining research efforts on imitating and developing the 'Star Stone,' to research and develop a *New World* online game that completely belongs to our Blue Star in the shortest possible time, in order to give back to everyone!]

[We hope everyone can understand us, and also understand our research team. At present, our research team has basically overcome the basic technology of holographic simulation, and it is expected that a major technology will be broken through within three years, striving to bring the *New World* online game back again within five years!]

The above is the announcement issued by the official website of *New World* at eight o'clock in the morning.

Yes, no compensation whatsoever!

As for the reason, the operating company of *New World* also gave it.

For twenty years, they have been continuously studying the 'Star Stone,' this stone from outer space, which has cost them huge sums of money to research and maintain, investing trillions of yuan!

Therefore, even though *New World* is now shutting down, they cannot come up with any way to compensate the players who have spent money in the game.

This is undoubtedly an announcement that completely declares the 'death sentence' of the *New World* online game!

Previously, some players were still harboring侥幸 (xiāo xìng - a fluke mentality), and even united to put pressure on the *New World* company, demanding compensation, but this announcement was equivalent to telling everyone: your accounts, and the items and equipment in the game, are completely worthless!

The official website exploded!

The forum exploded!

The Baidu Tieba (online forum) was even more explosive!

Many people howled and denounced the *New World* online game company.

Various posts of abuse were also flying everywhere!

But all of this was useless.

And many people also said that today was the last time they logged into *New World*. The purpose of logging in was not to reminisce or continue playing, but to... destroy their accounts!

The internet was in turmoil.

But for Lin Chen, this was undoubtedly the best time to acquire game items, equipment, and gold coins and materials!

Lin Chen immediately contacted Zhang Chunlin, calling him directly: "Did you see the announcement? Many people are destroying their accounts now, but if they can sell their things for some money, I believe many people will still be willing to recover some losses. So, how is the market doing now?"

"It's crashing, it's been crashing all the time, I'm numb to it anyway! You don't know, one hundred million gold coins are only worth a thousand yuan now, it's terrifying!" Zhang Chunlin responded to Lin Chen's question.

"It's so cheap? Then help me get a hundred billion... no, get a trillion, just buy as much as you can! Also, I'll buy all the handmade materials, including all kinds of rare treasures. Keep an eye on the prices and push them all down to the lowest possible level."

At this time, Lin Chen's mouth was almost splitting open with a smile. He instructed: "After it's done, your hard work fee will not be less than ten thousand... Also, I'll buy all the materials and props you have in stock, if you want to sell them, so you don't go bankrupt."

"Really? Lin Chen... no, Brother Chen! From today on, you are my own brother! Don't worry, I'll get the people from the studio to do it now, and I'll definitely get it done properly for you! But, Brother Chen, even if the market has bottomed out now, this kind of acquisition is still very expensive. It's estimated to be at least ten million as a base."

Zhang Chunlin was also a little suspicious. He whispered on the phone, "We've been friends since we were kids, Brother Chen, do you know something inside?"

"No inside information."

Lin Chen replied: "If you believe me, then keep some things that are useful to you, and fix up your own account as well, anyway, you will definitely not lose out in the future!"

Lin Chen had seen through the future.

Even if he was reborn, he had to get others to believe him!

As for the future invasion of the game into the real world, no one would believe it even more.

Therefore, Lin Chen could only persuade Zhang Chunlin in this way.

The final result still depended on himself.

If he didn't believe it, then Lin Chen couldn't help it.

If he believed it, then Zhang Chunlin would also have the capital to fight against the apocalypse in the future!
