Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’

Chapter 80 - 80 80 It's Going to Turn Yellow

?80: Chapter 80: It’s Going to Turn Yellow 80: Chapter 80: It’s Going to Turn Yellow “It’s quite normal, but it also caused a huge impact.

Fortunately, the criticism didn’t stir up much.

Until recently, a player named Alien Angel raised a question on the forum that completely exploded.”

“What question?”

“It was some players saying that the simulation level of this game is too high, so high that it’s indistinguishable from reality.

They even think the game is another parallel world.”

Han Na drank her beer while talking to Su Mo.

Su Mo was stunned upon hearing this.

“Shocking, right?

When we first heard this claim, we thought these people were crazy.

But things got a bit out of control afterwards.

Many players jumped over the firewall to countries like the U.S.

and found that many famous international streamers swear that Star Ring is the real world.

And those streamers even entered the game to explore different areas, just to find evidence.

And believe it or not, they really found a lot of evidence, such as complete historical backgrounds, traces of real residents’ lives, and so on…”

Han Na explained seriously to Su Mo.

Su Mo then fell into thought; it seemed he wasn’t the only one who harbored doubts about that world.

But it was also normal; everyone is human, with one brain, two eyes, and one mouth—no one is worse or dumber than anyone else.

If he could sense the problem, it was natural that others could too.

The world is like this—you may be excellent, but there are many who are more so.

You can only rely on your own efforts to surpass those who are better than you.

Idle fantasies are nothing but daydreams and wishful thinking.

Strength isn’t boasted with words, but forged through your own brain and hands with hard work and creation.

However, Su Mo was still a bit puzzled and asked curiously.

“So what if they suspect?

It’s nothing serious.

But why has the situation been a bit unstable recently?”

“That’s the crucial point, and the most important one.

If those were just suspicions and minor infractions, at worst they would cause a stir and force the game company to make some reforms, and that would be it.

But what came next was serious because the Star Ring Game has caused many people to go insane or even die.

Just think about it, a game that can kill people will definitely cause massive panic and dissatisfaction overnight, which has never happened before in history.

So many are demanding the councils shut down the game and provide explanations, and now they are launching collective protests and petitions.”

Zi Die explained with her cute little head tilted.

After listening to this, Su Mo roughly understood what was happening and replied nonchalantly.

“Oh.”

“‘Oh’ what?

This game might tank, and if that happens, we’re screwed.”

Han Na said somewhat frantically.

“If that really happens, then we can only accept it.”

Zhang Wenjing spoke calmly.

“Accept my ass!

If the game really tanks, we’ll be unemployed.

We’ll end up on the streets, which would be horrible.”

Han Na looked like she felt persecuted.

“Isn’t that an exaggeration?”

Su Mo looked at Han Na’s exaggerated expression.

“What do you mean by exaggeration?

We’ve put so much effort into joining the intensive training camps for three years and passed through several selections to get into Dawn Group.

If the game tanks, wouldn’t the company have to lay people off?

Where else would we find such high-paying jobs?

Who else could support us?

Unless you’re going to support me?

Forget that; I can tell just by looking at you that you’re poorer than me.”

Han Na performed like she was possessed by a drama queen.

“Alright, that’s enough.

Just do our jobs well.

We don’t need to worry about other things, and everyone should rest early.

It’s been a busy period,”

At that moment, Zi Qing turned off her computer, stood up to return to her room, and spoke to Han Na and the others before leaving.

“Wait a second, Zi Qing.”

Su Mo suddenly reacted, remembering the important matter he called out.

Zi Qing stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Su Mo, and asked indifferently.

“What is it?”

“Tsk tsk, Su Mo, what are you up to?

Don’t tell me you’re planning to cling to rich lady Zi Qing’s coattails.

I didn’t expect you to look so innocent yet have such heavy schemes,”

Han Na teased with a playful expression.

Zhang Wenjing also turned to look at Su Mo, watching with a cold eye.

Su Mo was at a loss for words, he hastily began to explain, “Here’s the thing, we managed to get an old ship, but we don’t know how to operate it….”

Su Mo hadn’t finished speaking when Han Na exploded with excitement, her eyes gleaming with eagerness as she grasped Su Mo’s hand and asked.

“A ship?

Did you say a ship?

You all got a ship?”

“Where is the ship?

Is there a video?”

Zi Die also asked excitedly.

“This, it came so quickly we forgot to make a video.”

Su Mo was immediately embarrassed.

“No worries, we can always film it later.

Just tell us what model it is for now!”

“I don’t know.”

“How about the main gun on the ship?

What caliber is it, and how powerful?”

“76mm caliber, I don’t know the rest.”

“Is there a torpedo launcher?”

“I don’t know.”

“Then do you have shipborne missiles or anything like that?”

“I don’t know.”

….

Su Mo felt overwhelmed by the questions, unable to utter a single word, a reaction that had caught him off guard.

Actually, from this response, one could somewhat see how frustrated the Sea Battle Group was.

It’s not that their Legion never acquired ships; they had claimed a few during the conquest of Dawn City.

However, earlier groups in the Sea Battle Group had taken those, leaving their twelfth group with just a few fishing boats, the kind close to being scrapped, which constantly broke down during training.

“Tsk, after all this time, how do you not know anything?

Wait, why am I so happy?

Having a ship is useless; we’re almost unemployed.”

The initially very excited Han Na, upon remembering the game was failing, suddenly lost all mood.

“Alright, everyone quiet down and stop complaining.”

Zi Qing spoke in a deep voice.

Han Na and Zi Die quieted down and watched silently.

Zhang Wenjing also showed a hint of surprise; she hadn’t expected Su Mo to come talking about a ship.

“Su Mo, tell me in detail about that ship.”

Zi Qing didn’t beat around the bush and directly asked, her interest in the ship very evident.

“Do you have a pen and paper?”

Su Mo thought for a moment, unsure of how to summarize the details, and then asked.

“Yes!”

Zi Qing briskly pulled out pen and paper from a drawer nearby and handed them to Su Mo.

Su Mo sat down, started drawing on the paper, and sketched a rough outline of the ship, indicating the estimated dimensions.

He also tried to detail the ship’s internal structure as meticulously as possible, indicating that the ship was in a long-deserted state.

Zi Qing couldn’t help but take another look at Su Mo, impressed by his memory.

“Here.”

Su Mo handed the rough sketch to Zi Qing.
