To ascend, I had no choice but to create games-Chapter 865 - 476: Enemies on a Narrow Road

Watching Hakurei Silver Dream glare at him with hostility, Wu Wei was understandably baffled.

The last time everyone met, it couldn’t be said that they had a great time, but there was no need for such a hostile atmosphere either.

Besides, all fans of the anime world are one and the same, and although his knowledge was limited, he was still a veteran in the world of anime. Even if they had nothing in common to talk about, there shouldn’t be such strong hostility.

However, Wu Wei couldn’t understand the ideas of modern anime fans, concepts like "feeding the valley" or "expanding the ranks" were completely beyond him. A dispute over a couple (cp) and reverse couple (reverse cp) could lead to several days of arguments; it wasn’t impossible that he had inadvertently offended someone.

Observing silently for a while, Wu Wei was about to leave when he noticed a Wuling Hongguang sliding into a beautiful drift and stopping in front of him.

Then the car door opened, a few players hiding behind the van eyed Wu Wei with ill intent.

After confirming the ID above Wu Wei’s head, the opposing players grabbed him and dragged him into the van, then drove off into the distance as everyone watched.

Sitting in the back seat, Wu Wei still couldn’t figure out what had happened, completely confused.

I...

Was I kidnapped?

"No, we didn’t kidnap you," the player in the passenger seat seemed to hear Wu Wei’s inner voice, turned around and said, "Let me introduce myself, Xiemen Waidao."

"Oh, I’ve heard quite a lot about you," Wu Wei immediately responded, "But why are you using a female character?"

"Because it looks good, is that a problem?"

At this moment, Xiemen Waidao looked like a carefree, vigorous girl, and because of her exuberance, she appeared a bit rough.

Right now, "she" was chewing gum, a Band-Aid stuck on her nose, with her legs spread out in front of the passenger seat, looking very unsafe.

But this was an anime game, so being unsafe was just part of the deal.

From their actions, it looked like these people were using gaming capsules; otherwise, they couldn’t have pulled off such a stylish kidnapping or adopted such casual postures.

The name Xiemen Waidao was well-known, like thunder piercing the ear.

Although Wu Wei had no dealings with this person, he had seen strategies Xiemen Waidao wrote on Game Inn, and they were always an eye-opener.

Every time Wu Wei read them, he’d have a new insight and marveled at how low Xiemen Waidao’s moral threshold was.

It was also thanks to Xiemen Waidao that he could even play games now; in the past, this person was a destabilizing figure in society, who would either have disrupted the entire society or been ’dealt with’ by society. There were no other possibilities.

Seeing a gaming elite before him, Wu Wei still felt none of it was real.

It wasn’t until he noticed the Wuling Hongguang was heading towards the suburbs that he snapped out of it and asked Xiemen Waidao, "Where are you taking me?"

"To protect you."

"Is there something wrong with your pronunciation? You meant to say ’kidnap’, right?"

"I wish I could kidnap you," lamented Xiemen Waidao. "Do you think I want to do good deeds?"

"This is the first time I’ve seen anyone actually ashamed of doing a good deed."

"Well... let’s just say, I received a hidden quest from the big competition committee."

"Megalopolis" is an open world where NPCs have their own independent thoughts and can issue various quests to players.

Since the quests are random, there would naturally be differences in difficulty and rewards, and players would usually refer to the easy but highly rewarded quests as ’fantastic deals’, while difficult quests with low rewards would be considered ’rotten deals’.

Upon hearing Xiemen Waidao had received a hidden quest from the big competition committee, Wu Wei became interested and excitedly asked, "What kind of quest is it? A fantastic deal?"

"Not just a fantastic deal, it’s even more thrilling than that. A quest that can change the gameplay," Xiemen Waidao said excitedly. "I’ve tried it once, it’s truly exhilarating, and I’m definitely going to promote it later."

"But there must be a reason you can’t promote it right now, right?" Wu Wei inquired.

"That’s right, you’re quite clever," Xiemen Waidao appreciated Wu Wei’s insight, "The reward needs to pass certain tests before it can be implemented, and it’s quite tricky to do so. I was about to give up, but luckily, the competition gave me a chance."

Noticing that Wu Wei still looked confused, Xiemen Waidao explained, "The competition in ’Megalopolis’ is quite big, with a lot of prize money, which attracted many who didn’t play games before. You understand this, right?"

"I do."

"Where there’s money, there’s rivalry. To win that prize money, some will undoubtedly resort to underhanded tactics; you understand this, right?"

"I still do."

"So, that’s why you should come with us."

"That’s where I’m lost. The official announcement has many restrictions during the competition; it should be safe, right?"

Xiemen Waidao looked at Wu Wei with a hint of resignation and then sighed, wishing Mr. Liu Liuzi was there.

A teacher has patience and would certainly be able to explain the current situation very clearly without wasting breath.

But Mr. Liu Liuzi was protecting another group of people, so the battling Xiemen Waidao had to speak earnestly, "I read it too, and it’s true the rules are quite comprehensive this time, even I can’t find any loopholes. However, who said foul play can only happen during the match, right?"
