117 Telling the Future

　　“Fatty is right. As long as you’re not doing anything like rebelling, spying, or even being a traitor, we’ll help you complete it.”

　　As soon as Chu Feng finished speaking, Lu Wan said, “Besides, we know what kind of person you are. It’s impossible for you to do such a thing. We don’t care at all what kind of earth-shattering secret you’re talking about. We only care if you treat us as friends. A friend without any scruples and speaks freely.”

　　After Lu Wan finished speaking, although Mu Xueyi did not say anything, the determined look in her eyes and the smile on her face proved her determination.

　　Seeing Fatty and the other three smiling with determination in their eyes, Lin Shuang, who was originally serious, also smiled. He had sent out warnings a few times and explained so that they would be mentally prepared. After all, what he wanted to say was even more incomprehensible and unbelievable than this almost real Glory game.

　　However, it seemed that his worries were completely unnecessary. These friends of his trusted him completely. Moreover, they were friends who could help him without hesitation at his most dangerous moment.

　　“Since you’ve said so, if I continue to be pretentious, I’ll seem a little too f*cking coward. Before I tell you the secret hidden deep in my heart, let me tell you a little story.”

　　As soon as Lin Shuang finished speaking, Fatty urged him impatiently. “Hurry up and tell me! Hurry up and tell me the secret you hid in your heart. I’ve been looking forward to this secret for a long time. This is the only secret I haven’t known since you were young. Do you know how uncomfortable it is to not know?!”

　　Facing Fatty’s urging, Lin Shuang calmly picked up the cup and took a sip of water. Then, he leaned against the sofa cushion and looked at the white ceiling. His eyes gradually became blurry. Then, he began to recall and talk about the things he was most unwilling to mention after his rebirth.

　　“September 1, 2027. That day is the fifth anniversary of Glory’s opening. Fatty and I have been working hard in Glory for five years and have finally become one of the top studios. On the fifth anniversary of the establishment of the Tiger Studio, we, who had both fame and fortune, were not too high-profile. We continued to live an ordinary life.

　　“No matter how powerful we are in the Glory game, in reality, we are still ordinary mortals. We will also die. Therefore, we didn’t think that we were superior to others and lived ordinary lives every day.

　　“Originally, according to Fatty’s and my plan, the two of us would sell most of our equipment after the fifth anniversary and have already disbanded the studio. Then, with the wealth accumulated in five years, so much that we didn’t even dare to think about it in the past, we will bring our families to fulfill the seemingly unreachable wish we made in the past.

　　“I’ll bring my family across the country and see all the beautiful sceneries in the world. Then, I’ll choose a place with beautiful mountains, clear water, birds, and flowers as a place to retire.”

　　Listening to Lin Shuang’s description, Fatty had a yearning expression. This was the original intention of him and Lin Shuang to establish the Tiger Studio. In order to complete that unattainable dream in their lives, the two of them stepped into the Glory game without hesitation.

　　Lu Wan was also infected by the scene depicted by Lin Shuang. This dream could be said to be the dream of most young people, but because of real life and family involvement, this dream could only be a dream and would never become a reality. In the past, she had also wanted to bring her mother to travel the world and see the mountains and rivers, the icy plains, the hills, the grassland lakes, and the sea and plains.

　　However, because of her mother’s illness, all of this came to nothing, causing her to run around every day on the journey to earn medical fees. Despite that, she did not regret it. As long as she was with her mother, it would surpass any beautiful mountains and rivers.

　　Meanwhile, Mu Xueyi and Chu Feng had thought of different things from Fatty and Lu Wan. The two of them knew that the secret Lin Shuang was talking about must be related to the story he was telling. However, what puzzled the two of them was what Lin Shuang’s secret was related to this story.

　　“But on the day after the fifth anniversary of Glory, Fatty’s and my original plan was turned into an eternal bubble by that disaster.

　　“That day was the start of the calamity, the pioneer of the apocalypse. It was on that day that the people on the entire planet suddenly realize that the characters they built in the Glory game have all turned into reality and integrated into reality, it let everyone have the strength to not be afraid of any technological weapons, nuclear bombs, or space-based kinetic weapons in the game!

　　“The cage in the hearts of the players who obtained all their strength in their game that day was completely opened. The entire world became extremely chaotic. It instantly turned into a purgatory, becoming a dark forest world where the strong were respected.

　　“In just a few days, all the weak countries fell and became a place ruled by various player factions. As most of the players in our country had kind personalities, they did not cause much turmoil. In less than a month, they barely suppressed most of the people that are comparable to evil ghosts.

　　“But just as we thought that this disaster was coming to an end, just as it was about to end, we didn’t expect that this disaster had only just begun.

　　“Two months after all of humanity materialized the strength of the game, the peaceful life that had just returned was broken again. In countless Glory games, famous and unknown wild monsters appear in reality at the same time.

　　“That day, almost all the countries in the world were destroyed. Even a country like ours, which has a large number of powerful players, were not spared. A large area of land and cities were destroyed. Countless people from our country were cruelly killed, and their corpses did not leave any ashes.

　　“Other than the remaining capital, Demon Capital, and the nearby cities, they are all occupied by various monster bosses leading their races.

　　“Fortunately, a large number of powerful players survived the sudden disaster. Under the lead of the top players, they began to prepare to attack the wild monsters and take back the city that belongs to us.

　　“Just as all the players are united and everything is ready, the true disaster descended on the real world.”
