Chapter 42: Chapter 40 Game Training Camp

"Who are you?" Li Qingshan furrowed his brow and asked, secretly making a defensive gesture. On the visitor’s head, two characters floated—[Guest].

What is a guest?

He knew nothing about it.

"Are you... Li Qingshan?" Lu Tianming asked.

Having successfully reached his destination, the psychological unease dissipated, and the mental exhaustion almost reached its peak, making him feel drowsy. He wished he could lie down right there and take a nap.

But the safest-looking place might not be safe at all.

No. 12 could only forcibly bite his own tongue, using the piercing pain to snap himself awake.

The large characters [Li Qingshan]above his head could not be concealed; Li Qingshan could only remain silent.

"I am No. 12... It was incredibly tough to get to this damned place," Lu Tianming said as he pulled out a special recording device from his backpack, "Don’t be too wary, after all, I am the boss of your boss."

"It looks like the host here hasn’t rejected me, could you show me around this place?"

After pressing the button, a string of secret codes was announced by the recording device.

Only Li Qingshan and his superior knew these secret codes.

Li Qingshan slightly nodded, his heart thumping heavily.

No. 12... was a top-tier investigator dispatched by the upper council!

How did he get in?

"You came here via the Stairway to Heaven..."

"Yes, I can almost confirm now that the [Game] you encountered is of a Demon God Level," Lu Tianming waved his hand and gave a wry smile, "It might be on the same tier as [God]."

The renowned [God], Li Qingshan had certainly heard of it, and quickly thought of something, "Did you come here to prove that the [Game] can be utilized by humans?"

"Yes, we’re discussing it openly in its territory and seem to have taken no damage," Lu Tianming looked around, curious, "This suggests it’s much more lenient than [God]."

Chen Xinyi listened from the sidelines, feeling like someone who couldn’t understand the secrets being discussed.

In fact, she was just an outsider.

As a new E-tier reserve, she knew very little.

She hurriedly said, "Mr. No. 12... let me show you around! I’m also a new E-tier reserve."

Lu Tianming glanced at the beautiful young girl, lamenting his difficult journey, "The Black-clothed Guard isn’t a good place, you must have been forced to join."

Chen Xinyi quickly shook her head, "No, no, no, I volunteered! Although I know very few secrets now, I do know that the Black-clothed Guard exists to protect all of humanity, right?"

Lu Tianming exclaimed, "Your case is somewhat special, involving the [Game]. It shouldn’t be hard for you to officially join, but trying to leave will be very difficult. Humans compared to the mighty Demon God, are really no different from paramecia."

As a profession reporter, Chen Xinyi was driven by immense curiosity, her eyes sparkling, "I’m not scared. If there are transcendent things in the world and we dare not touch them, then what’s the difference from a bug? Humans surpass paramecia precisely because of their imagination and curiosity, right?"

She led Lu Tianming around the various facilities of the training camp, and given her profession as a reporter, she was at least more articulate than the sullen Li Qingshan.

As a lover of the supernatural, her greatest wish was to touch the mysterious, explore the unknown; ever since experiencing that joy, the idea had never left her.

"You’re quite optimistic now, thinking humans are strong, but in reality, curiosity often costs lives," Lu Tianming gave a wry smile, knowing as a father that such people couldn’t easily be persuaded, only facts could teach them.

In fact, the existence of such people in the world is somewhat beneficial.

He himself was the same.

When it came to confidential content, he’d change the topic; for non-confidential content, revealing it posed no harm.

...

Meanwhile, behind Lu Tianming, the 27-member council was in a state of high tension, and fervent discussions filled the meeting room.

A Demon God on the same level as [God], the emergence of [Game], would bring world-level impacts!

And [Game] did not resist human arrival.

[God]’s rules are simple yet terrifying. The Old Testament says "God should not be seen," the Bible has discussed, "God is invisible," "God dwells in unapproachable light," "to see Him one must surely die."

Thus, [God]’s rule is—seeing means death.

No one knows what it truly is.

Such terrifying rules, yet controlled and utilized by humans to eliminate bizarre oddities, somewhat becoming a protector of mankind.

However, the Black-clothed Guard couldn’t borrow [God]’s power because there’s another part to [God]’s rule, "unless God Himself appears to you, has a mission, and comes to the world, people seeing God now, just need to believe His word, through revelation."

To utilize [God], one must give faith.

Great Xia Country, does not want to give faith.

What about [Game]?

"As I expected, the newly emerged ’Demon God’ is a gaming platform," No. 24, wearing glasses, revealed a slight smile, incredibly excited, wishing he could investigate personally.

"Since [Game] allowed No. 12’s entry and even doesn’t mind humans critiquing it, it means that from a rules perspective, it won’t rashly kill humans."

"I suggest, Mr. No. 12, you can use the platform’s various functions more boldly to see if they can bring us some benefits."

No. 1 old man also slightly nodded, "Having come all the way here, we might as well give it a try."

He told the people around the round table, "By the way, regarding the search for game players, has there been any new leads?"

No. 25, who was in charge of cyber intelligence, shook his head, "Currently, the grassroots have collected over 100,000 suspicious internet leads."

"We focus on investigating clues related to ’aliens’, and further investigations are still ongoing."

"However, not finding game players is normal, perhaps the player is just a non-social regular person."

...

The training camp was large, with various equipment fully available. Lu Tianming tried the automatic rifle at the shooting range, firing a burst of bullets with a "tat tat tat," and the kick felt exactly like in reality.

Here, you could even train in horse riding, archery, crossbow shooting, flying helicopters, driving tanks, flying fighter jets!

Even foreign stealth fighters.

All for free!

"Is this horse fake?"

Li Qingshan nodded, "Mmh, it looks alive but is actually just a flesh assembly."
