Chapter 34：Deadly Virus (1/2)
Wei Huo was worried that he would never be able to have such a nostalgic meal again, but it was obvious that his worry was unfounded. Lu Qiqi had to eat as well. Whenever she ate, would she not cook another portion for Wei Huo too?
Of course… Not.
The next day, Lu Qiqi did not cook Wei Huo's portion. Wei Huo was annoyed. ”Why didn't you cook my portion?”
Lu Qiqi lifted her head and asked in confusion, ”Did you ask for it?”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”
Wei Huo understood it all at that moment. Lu Qiqi did not have any common sense. She was an artificial being before she met Wei Huo. It could be that they had always been cooking only for themselves.
Wei Huo asked, ”Before returning to God's Gate, did you all only cook for yourselves?”
Lu Qiqi replied, ”We were each in charge of different modules. The meals were made by a certain group of people, and construction, hunting, maintenance, manufacturing, farming, and animal training were all carried out by different groups of people. Everyone worked together to test the game.”
Wei Huo asked again, ”What if someone who was in charge of hunting died?”
Lu Qiqi replied with a serious face, ”The manpower would be reallocated, and we would try our best to get enough data from the trials.”
Wei Huo was silent for a while before asking, ”What happened to the ones who died? Were they buried or cremated?”
Lu Qiqi replied, ”The dead artificial beings would return to God's embrace and not leave a trace in this world.”
Wei Huo was shocked. He could see Lu Qiqi's age and lifespan from her Health Menu.
'Lu Qiqi. Age: 30 Years Old. Lifespan: 45 Years'
Time did not leave a trace on her body. That was probably one of her God-given abilities.
”Your lifespan is only 45 years! What…do you plan on doing next?” Wei Huo asked.
Lu Qiqi replied, ”I'll wait for the next trial 30 years later and test the game according to God's orders. I'll then return to God's Gate and relay the data.”
Wei Huo was confused. ”Is my math bad, or do you have bad communication skills? You artificial beings only have 15 years of life left. How can you wait for another 30 years?”
Lu Qiqi replied, ”After delivering the data upon our return to God's Gate, our time will be halted until the second trial begins.”
”But you were forgotten.” Wei Huo said.
Lu Qiqi paused then said, ”It's my mistake. I was executing an important quest and missed out on the time frame to go back.”
Wei Huo immediately asked, ”What quest?”
Lu Qiqi looked over at Wei Huo and said, ”Game contents are not allowed to be leaked to players.”
Wei Huo was speechless. ”...”
There must be a bug somewhere in that quest. I knew it even if you did not say it! The quest of artificial beings was to test out the game. For one, it was to see if humans could survive in such conditions, and the other reason was to find bugs. God must not wish to see players exploiting the bugs to level up.
Wei Huo felt a little guilty, but he did not tell Lu Qiqi that he had exploited bugs in order to obtain the Qi-Training Skill scroll and the highest-ranked God of Thunder Skill scroll.
Lu Qiqi said, ”I need to wait till the next trial is completed before returning to God's Gate. I have important information to relay to God.”
Wei Huo asked, ”Is this the only way to relay information to God?”
Lu Qiqi replied, ”And death. After I die, God will have access to my memories.”
”But you were forgotten by God.” Wei Huo looked over at Lu Qiqi and realized an important problem. If Lu Qiqi died, God would have access to her memories and realize that Wei Huo was left out of the time halt. 'Would God send me into a time halt or take away everything I've worked for, or… kill me immediately?'
Lu Qiqi cannot die!
