At this moment, Qin Yu didn’t know that he had been targeted by more than a group of people.
He has already quit the game and returned to reality.
After all, no matter how good things were in the game, they were virtual after all. Even if you ate more food in the game, your belly in reality still needed to be filled. So after leaving New York City, Qin Yu found an empty place, went offline, and quit the game.
At this time, it was more than six o’clock in the evening. After playing for a whole day without eating, Qin Yu’s stomach was grunting with hunger.
Climbed out of the game cabin, Qin Yu had a very memorable feeling about his previous game experience.
The Infinity Gauntlet is really cool. It’s no wonder someone spent a lot of money to buy equipment to become an expert in the game. It’s really exciting to single-handedly defeat a guild.
While thinking about the game, Qin Yu opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of Coke, and drank one mouthful. The cold liquid refreshed Qin Yu’s spirit, but his stomach was twitched. He put down most of the remaining bottle of Coke and rubbed his belly, thinking: The game world is really cool. As a Hulk, it doesn’t matter how I make it. Not to mention a bottle of iced cola, even a bucket of industrial alcohol, I can drink it without a problem. Sadly, it doesn’t work in reality.
Probably because of working too much when he started his business in the previous few years, Qin Yu has been in a bad health state for a long time. He also suffered from chronic stomach problems, so he didn’t dare to eat and drink casually. This iced coke was his favorite, but he dare not drink too much at one time.
It’s even worse because I’m so obsessed with work that I don’t even have a girlfriend. Even with property worth more than ten million, Qin Yu often felt that his life was boring, so he’s even more addicted to games.
Alas, if I can have an Infinity Gauntlet in reality, then I can directly control the beauty to like me with the Mind Stone, or you can simply create a girlfriend with Reality Stone. Or I can also turn myself into a peerless handsome guy, and beautiful women will fall for me.
Qin Yu couldn’t help but daydream and skillfully made a meal ordering call.
Ordering three fresh wontons and a curry chicken rice, Qin Yu turned on the computer while waiting for lunch and browsed the news on the Internet at will. Although technologies have developed very much, the best way to obtain information was still the computer. After a few glances, a post suddenly caught Qin Yu’s eyes.
The title of this post was [Shocking news: VR game players starve to death. 】At first glance, this smelt fishy.
But he couldn’t supress the curiosity, and Qin Yu clicked it.
The post was about an incident that happened today. A player who was playing a VR game suddenly died after playing for more than ten hours, and his death was quite terrifying.
There was also a photo in the post. Because of the distorted expression and the mosaic, it is difficult to see his appearance, but when Qin Yu glanced at the face of the deceased, he felt a little familiar.
The game company quickly made an official report. The explanation given was that the person himself was relatively weak, and he played for a long time without eating, plus the sudden death caused by excessive excitement in the game has nothing to do with the game itself.
Qin Yu was a little speechless in his heart, said no, can he die by playing a game?
Isn’t it really starving to death, right?
Speaking of playing VR games, it’s really easy to ignore the feeling in reality. I hadn’t eaten for a day before, but I almost didn’t feel hungry in the game. I almost thought I’m full when I gnawed on the fried chicken wing made by Infinity Gauntlet.
It seems that I have to be a little more careful in the future, but there is no way I die in such an awkward way. But thinking about the past, there have been many cases of sudden death while playing games, so there is no need to worry too much.
The doorbell suddenly rang.
Hey, this time the food delivery came very quickly.
Qin Yu opened the door of the apartment eagerly. Standing outside the door were two men in black suits and well-dressed clothes. One had a kind face and was slightly shorter in height, and the other had a straight face and was slightly taller. Both were still wearing sunglasses in the night, looking a bit like the men in black.
These were obviously not deliverers.
“Who are the two looking for?” Qin Yu asked strangely.
The short man chuckled, “May I ask if you are Mr. Qin with the game ID [Hulk’s Second Uncle]?”
Qin Yu was shocked: Could it be someone from the game company?
“You are?”
“We are investigators of Eternal Online Game Company, can we go in?”
“Of course,” Qin Yu also knew that it was inevitable, and let the two of them into the house.
After entering the room, the three of them sat down on the sofa, but the two of them didn’t waste time and asked directly: “May I ask if Mr. Qin has recently acquired a game equipment called Infinity Gauntlet?”
Qin Yuxin thought: Fuck The Lawless! That bastard had actually reported me.
“Yes. What’s the matter?”
“That’s right. Our company has special solutions for some special equipment that affects the balance of games. According to our investigation, the equipment was obtained through game BUGs. Therefore, we must ask Mr. Qin to return this equipment to us to be recycled.”
Although he was mentally prepared, Qin Yu was still unwilling.
“Why? I gained this by myself, and I didn’t steal it, why must I return it? I didn’t use any cheat at all. If there is a BuG, that’s your fault. Are you guys claim that it’s a perfect game that has no BUG?”
Qin Yu talked big, but the short man with dark glasses didn’t answer Qin Yu’s question, just sat there and smiled, while the tall guy’s face seemed a little uneasy.
After Qin Yu finished spraying, the shorter one said apologetically: “We are really very sorry for what happened to you, Mr. Qin, but this time it is indeed a BUG incident, and the equipment should not appear in this way. And it has seriously affected the balance of the game, so please cooperate with us in recycling this game item. Of course, we will make some compensation for you.”
Qin Yu said in his heart: When is your company’s game balanced? But he also knew that it’s useless to say that. If the other party really wanted to reclaim the item, it’s hard to win a lawsuit. Since these GM came to find him in private, it meant that the company didn’t want to make things big, so let’s be more realistic.
“Well, you can recycle the equipment, but the compensation must be equal. 10 million! Give me 10 million and I will hand over the gauntlet. This thing is surely worth that price.”
The two looked at each other, but shook their heads together, “I’m sorry, I’m afraid we can’t give you so much money. Although this piece of equipment is really valuable, because it was obtained by exploiting a loophole in the game, we can only give Mr. Qin a limited amount of compensation.”
“Then how much can you give me?”
“One million is our upper limit. In addition, we can give Mr. Qin a basic Infinity Gauntlet and an Infinity Stone. You can choose any stone. This is our biggest concession. Of course, these are all non- plot item.”
Qin Yu almost scolded when he heard it: Are you joking? One million? Inflation is particularly serious these years. Although one million is not a small amount, it is definitely not enough.
Even if they added an Infinity Stone and a basic Infinity Gauntlet, at most they worth two million RMB, even worse than The Lawless’ price.
Of course, Qin Yu, who had already experienced the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, couldn’t agree to that.
