Chapter 79.1 :Human Face, Beast's Heart

Now he knew a new way to quickly obtain points. Xing Ye asked, "I have a question about my own personal safety. I know that players entering the same world might not enter at the same time in the real world, but when you become teammates, the entry time gets automatically adjusted. Then if I cleared Puppet City early, would it be possible to tell a player that enters after me about the world?"

The black and white rubix cube twirled, "Good question, but those circumstances will never appear. You can try, but the system won't make any promises for what happens next~"

"I'm not that stupid. As long as I can protect myself, it's fine." Xing Ye said,

"One more question- if I hated somebody from the game but couldn't kill them in-game, can I do so in the real world?"

The black and white rubix cube's voice turned solemn. "Player x8205, please stop your dangerous way of thinking. The game will absolutely not interfere with the real world. If you truly kill another player for reasons relating to the game, not only will you be breaking the laws of the real world, you'll also be punished by the system. Usually, in these cases, we would ban you from the game."
In the real world, being banned from a game would mean having your account deleted. What about the game world then? It would probably mean death.

"But players in the game world can kill other players." Xing Ye stared at the black and white rubix cube,

"Player s7093 Xing Shuo died from a sudden cardiac arrest in the real world. Don't tell me he's still alive."

The black and white rubix cube answered, "Player s7903 has indeed already died and his consciousness was erased in the game world.

However, this did not violate the game's rules; rather, it was the option the player chose following the game's rules. The game will never encourage humans to kill each other. Only players can kill other players."

"I understand." Xing Ye's face was calm, "Who killed Player s7903?"

The black and white rubix cube answered, "No comment. I am only responsible for explaining the game rules. The player must discover everything else himself. The player's hatred is their own responsibility, not the system's."

Xing Ye nodded, "I got it. I don't want to see you, please leave."

The black and white rubix cube answered, "Alright, but the player must not stay in the system space for too long. The lack of colors, the frozen time, and the limits of the system space can cause madness."

With that, the black and white rubix cube dissolved into countless black and white little squares before disappearing into space.

Xing Ye sat on the floor, clasping the mirror in his hands as he leaned his head on the mirror gently.

"Your forehead's so big." The little mirror grumbled softly.

Xing Ye didn't see it, but a very, very, good looking young man appeared in the tiny cosmetic mirror. He closed his eyes and, separated by the ice-cold mirror surface, placed his forehead against Xing Ye's.

"Lu Mingze," After a long time, Xing Ye finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and dispirited, "I'll visit your parents every week and take a lot of pictures for you to see."

The mirror rubbed his nose and whispered, "Yeah. Thanks."

"Let's get stronger together." Xing Ye said, "We can't change the past, but we can always control the future. I can't do anything about what happens far away, but if it happens right in front of me and I can save them, I'll do everything I can."
