Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!-Chapter 962 - 674: Dislocated Space-Time

During that meeting, no one felt that their future days would change significantly.

The game was still the same, just that perhaps they needed to switch accounts.

Everyone ate, drank, and laughed together, imagining whether the upcoming cosmic chapter of the game would be more intense and interesting.

Later, they went to sing at KTV, joined the buzz at a bar, and then returned to their respective homes.

Within those three days, they also heard about the game launched by the newly appointed federal governor being particularly popular.

After all, it was the government encouraging everyone to play games, its influence was certainly remarkable.

The game was called "Thunderbolt," a pure aerial combat shooting game.

Players needed to control a fighter and continuously deal with an endless stream of enemies.

Occasionally, they'd encounter special enemy planes that, once defeated, provided parts to enhance their own fighter.

But essentially it was still a shooting game, testing the players' grasp of spatial opportunities.

Taking advantage of the three days, Gong Yan played for a long time, even reaching the final level... yet she couldn't get past it.

That level seemed to have a bug, the entire map was blurry, players could only see their own position and couldn't even see where the opponent's bullets came from.

In such a scenario, let alone players, even the game designers might not be able to get through.

If you can't beat it, don't play it; after fiercely cursing the game designer with other players, Gong Yan returned to the world of Star River.

The three days had passed, and the Dragon King returned!

But strangely enough...

Upon logging back in, she found the starting scenario wholly different from the first time she entered the game—

She was born directly in the cosmos this time.

And her initial identity seemed to have its own significance.

She was the granddaughter of a large cross-Star Domain company chairman, who mysteriously fell into a coma five years ago, and then woke up two years ago... which was also the time she reconnected to the game.

Gong Yan woke up inside the new body, greeted by a start completely different from the first time.

The only hassle was the option to leave the game had disappeared.

So can a place entered after going into an alternate world and never to escape still be called a game?

What is the truth of the world? Where did she come from?

Why did she not feel any strangeness upon waking up inside the new body, instead, it felt like she was meant to be this way?

What about the "real world" she was in before? What is that place?

Two years ago, upon waking, Gong Yan felt bewildered.

She began to ponder the reasons.

Why did it become like this?

Was it because the ship malfunctioned in high-dimensional space?

Or was it because she left the planet and entered the cosmos?

But it definitely wasn't because of death... although this was her first death in the game, she left spare bodies on the planet.

Most players left spare bodies when leaving the planet to prevent death.

After all, dying in this game meant starting over, leaving all they had fought for was something all players found hard to accept.

Fortunately, by the later stages, players could avoid death through spare bodies, but...

This approach failed when she "died" in the high-dimensional space!

During the three days out of the game, Gong Yan also pondered whether it was a game bug?

Or perhaps the high-dimensional space was a special game map, where dying was final, and consciousness or rather the soul wouldn't return to the player's spare body... this was her initial thought.

And regardless of the notion, who is the most important character in this entire process?

The answer is evident—

Bai E!

The Dawn leader they first connected with!

He's also the absolute leader ruling the entire planet!

It was he who led humanity's counterattack against high-dimensional space, and he who led them to build starships and fly to space.

If she wanted to find the ultimate reason for all the changes happening to her, she might need to find answers from this leader.

So Gong Yan started searching...

To facilitate her search, she strived to climb up with her new identity.

Eventually, as the chief helmsman of a cross-Star Domain super-large universe company, even after rummaging everywhere within her sphere of influence, Gong Yan had never heard a single word related to Bai E.

Whether Bai E or Dawn...

Or perhaps that planet hidden in some corner of the universe... she even once doubted whether the current place and the previous game content still shared the same game world view.

For this, she consulted numerous materials—

This universe also had beastmen, but they were mostly suppressed on certain planets.

On their planet, humans couldn't defeat them, but fortunately, those green-skinned Orcs didn't heavily think of expanding outward.

Even when Gong Yan personally witnessed those beastmen assembling into the sky and even into the universe using junk they picked up from who knows where, these beastmen never thought of leaving their planet to contend with humans in the universe.

Their daily life was basking in the sun, squabbling and clowning around, happily like a group of oafs.

There also existed High-dimensional Demon Gods... but those gods didn't seem to be very active, even though believers prayed to them, they could only receive weak power.

It's not on the same level as humans' tension towards high-dimensional space during their past time on the planet.

But no more bugs!

The most formidable and troublesome enemy humans had!

The background is ambiguous, where did something go wrong?

Gong Yan was confused, searching, and in the blink of an eye, over two years had passed.

During these two years, she never gave up, even expanded territories just for the sake of someday finding the past planet.

She planned to form a large cosmic exploration team after accumulating enough personal strength, to search for everything she wanted.

But little did she expect... the reason she had never found the leader Bai E nor Dawn, including the former planet, was because she arrived two years earlier?

Upon hearing Gong Yan's narrative, Xu Ruoguang widened his eyes, full of disbelief, "Your consciousness was here more than two years ago?!"

Gong Yan was equally stunned, "You mean it has been less than a month since our spaceship had an accident in high-dimensional space? How is this possible?!"

Gong Yan held her head, somewhat self-doubting, "But my over two years of time, it surely was real! Memory, all the details are recallable..."

"But just like you, we've been here for less than a month; we certainly are real too..." Xu Ruoguang was logical.

"Perhaps, you are all real." Bai E contemplated.

Two similarly bewildered faces instantly looked at Bai E, "Lord, this..."
