Chapter 5 A Certain Team Survival Mode Script

Five minutes later, inside a certain team survival mode script.

After listening to the plot summary, Feng Bujue and the four members of Saber – Long Aomin, Qi Sha, Po Jun, and Tan Lang – were transported to a certain location.

"So... what's this all about?" As soon as he was steady, Feng Bujue asked, "You had to bring us into a script to say it... Couldn't you just have told us in the conference room?"

"I'm afraid not," a familiar voice suddenly answered from the side.

The moment he heard that voice, Feng Bujue's expression changed. "No way..." He turned towards the voice and saw... Gu Chen.

The head of the "Ninth Division" looked exactly the same in the game world as he did in reality: around thirty years old, handsome features, a languid expression, even the suit and tie were the same as the ones he wore in reality.

"Ah—so dazzling!" After staring at Gu Chen for two seconds, Jue-Ge suddenly shielded his eyes with one arm and shouted theatrically, "I can't take it anymore! The intensity of your data is so bright! I can't look directly at it!"

"Then gouge out your eyes first, and we'll talk after you're done," Gu Chen was almost immune to this kind of clownish mockery, his attitude as calm as ever.

"Okay..." Feng Bujue immediately stopped his performance and said seriously, "I suddenly feel that I've adapted to this brightness."

"Is this the first time you've seen this kind of data stream?" Gu Chen didn't comment much on Feng Bujue's behavior, simply asking the question himself.

"Yeah..." Jue-Ge replied, sizing up the other man as he spoke, "Speaking of which, what exactly is this?"

"A super-GM account." Gu Chen's answer was both unexpected and reasonable. "The appearance can be completely customized, it can issue various commands to the system, and it can forcibly enter and exit scripts; the level is considered Lv999, survival, stamina, and spirit energy are all positive infinity, and the item and skill slots are also infinite."

"No wonder..." Feng Bujue stroked his chin and said, "It's supposed to be a five-person script, but a sixth person pops up..."

"Just a heads up, the GM's character data isn't stored in the same 'file' as the players. After the GM's character leaves the script, there's no 'login space' to enter. Therefore, GMs can only appear in the script world or in the game plane dedicated to Dream Inc. employees," Gu Chen added.

His statement answered Jue-Ge's initial question.

"I see," Jue-Ge nodded and then smoothly asked, "So... I wonder what brings the chief here in person?"

"It's nothing big, mainly just here to say hello to both sides," Gu Chen replied. "It's easier for me to say some things." As he spoke, he first looked at Jue-Ge and gestured towards the four members of Saber. "I know that you've already learned through investigation and reasoning that [Saber] is one of the Ninth Division's departments. You don't need to test them anymore. I'll just say it directly... These four are all investigators in my department on the Internet."

Having said that, Gu Chen looked at the four members of Saber and gestured towards Feng Bujue: "This person, on the surface, is a novelist, but in reality, he's a social instability factor of key concern to the state."

After saying this, he didn't wait for a response from either side, and once again turned his face towards Jue-Ge's side, continuing: "For security reasons, I have to conceal the real-world identities of my subordinates; I hope that you can also know when to stop and not investigate this aspect any further." He paused. "If you don't heed my advice and insist on doing things your own way, then the end result is likely to be... one day, the Ninth Division will eliminate the hidden danger and collectively silence these four." Generally speaking, the meaning would have been conveyed at this point, and there would be no need to say anything more, but Gu Chen added a sentence, "...and then, put all the blame for their deaths on you, attach a large amount of your personal information, and inform their families and comrades-in-arms."

After hearing these words, not only Feng Bujue, but even Brother Long and the others looked at Gu Chen with a "are you kidding me?" kind of expression.

"As for this Mr. Feng Bujue..." Two seconds later, Gu Chen looked at his subordinates again and continued, "Considering that his 'danger level' in reality is very... very... very high (important adjective repeated three times), so high that it far exceeds the scope of your supervision, you don't need to pay too much attention to his affairs." He paused for half a second, and deliberately glanced at Jue-Ge, revealing a sinister smile, "Anyway... there are already specialists responsible for monitoring him. If everything goes smoothly, his remaining years, as well as his descendants, will find it hard to escape the devil's clutches of the Ninth Division."

"Chief is wise."

"Chief is divine."

"Chief is all-knowing."

"Chief is farsighted."

The four members of Saber all cast admiring gazes at Gu Chen, their attitude could be described as completely submissive. Although the chief had used metaphors such as "devil's clutches" to describe the agency he was in charge of, Brother Long and the others felt that it was perfectly appropriate...

"In short," Gu Chen felt that he had said enough, and used the kind of summarizing tone that leaders often use when holding meetings, saying loudly, "In the future, you should both continue to do your own thing as usual. If you can help each other out, then do so. If not, then don't cause trouble for each other."

Having said this, he actually took out a coffee pot from his luggage that was exactly the same as the one he used in reality, unscrewed the lid, and poured himself a cup.

"Hoo..." After blowing on it and taking a sip of coffee, Gu Chen reopened his mouth and asked, "Do you... have any questions?"

"I do!" Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Feng Bujue shouted out.

"As expected," Gu Chen replied calmly and rolled his eyes.

Feng Bujue took a step forward, put his hands on his hips, and glared up at the other man, saying, "What do you mean my remaining years and my descendants will find it hard to escape your devil's clutches? Explain yourself clearly!"

"Po Jun, Tan Lang, Qi Sha, Long Aomin," Gu Chen called out to the four of them without turning his head.

"Here!" the four of them responded in unison.

"Force quit," Gu Chen's order was concise.

"Yes!" The four of them reacted in the same way, and were very decisive. Even if there were system penalties, they quit without hesitation, instantly turning into four streams of white light.

After they had all left, Gu Chen said to Feng Bujue, "Feng Bujue, that girl Ruo Yu has been living with you for quite a while now, right?"

"Yeah, so what?" Feng Bujue replied.

"I've already told my brother-in-law and his wife, who are Ruo Yu's maternal grandparents, about this situation," Gu Chen continued.

"Oh, so what if you did?" Feng Bujue replied.

"Let me give you a brief introduction... Those two are two of the top ten most powerful psychics in the world today, and both of them have the personalities of spoiled children," Gu Chen replied unhurriedly. "And I... have successfully made them have some subtle 'misunderstandings' about your relationship with Ruo Yu. In other words... you have two paths in life to choose from in the future. The first is to become my relative. At that time, we will be one family, and we can eat together during the New Year and other festivals. Call me 'Grandpa', and you will get plenty of benefits. Let's not talk about money and power, those are too vulgar. I can give you a nuclear weapon as a red envelope. In Asia, if you don't like someone, just say the word, and I guarantee that he will disappear from this planet before the Earth completes its next rotation." As he spoke, he took another sip of coffee, and then continued, "As for the second path... you can choose it if you really want to. But I don't know what will happen. In short, you'll definitely be courting death..."
