Chapter 2 (1/2)

Huang Yi lowered his head to observe the ring up close. It was made of a special material, not really gold or stone, neither wood nor leather, and was unique in the whole world, therefore it escaped the scan by Rose Prison.

But everyone in the world knew what it was.

Because it could connect you to another world.

Huang Yi immediately wore the ring on his index finger. 5 seconds later, there was darkness in front of his eyes, and could not see anything.

”Please enter your correct pa.s.sword. After 2 failures, self-destruction will be initiated,” a mechanical sound announced in his brain.

Obviously, the people outside feared that the ring would land into the hands of others, and hence the pa.s.sword feature was installed.

”1,” Huang Yi declared at the so familiar number. This was a code. It was prearranged secretly before he was locked up, unless there was a serious turn of events which would deem it redundant.

”Pa.s.sword Error! If you fail again, self-destruction will be initiated,” the mechanical voice reminded emotionlessly.

Huang Yi was depressed that the code word was wrong.

It meant that something huge had occurred!

It looked like the pa.s.sword should be the word on that piece of paper, and he declared the second pa.s.sword, ”Bird!”

”Pa.s.sword confirmed!”

In the next instance, there was a beautiful melody voice sounded out,” Scanning of the thumbprint had completed! The binding of the gold ring has been successful!”

Now, Huang Yi was free!

Although it was only freedom in his conscious mind, but he already obtained a chance to allow himself to be released from the prison.

In front of Huang Yi's vision, he saw a brand new virtual world, he was currently in the vast skies, as though he was an eagle that was soaring freely. The land revealed different sceneries. Lakes, mountains, plains, etc. In the gentle warm sunlight on him, with a fresh floral scene in the air. He felt refresh after smelling it and could not control himself from taking in a deep breath.

This was heaven compared to the dark cold and moist prison cell!

A fairy suddenly flew over. It was only palm sized big, and with her glittering small wings on her, she sat on Huang Yi's shoulder, and softly introduced, ”Hi! This Second World was created by ERA company, and it was the highest form of results achieved through science and culture. It is the humanity other form of society, and as important as the real world. I hope you will enjoy this brand new world. Before this, there is a sealed envelope for you!”

It was followed by a flick of her small hands, and a letter instantly appeared in Huang Yi's hand.

Huang Yi read the content—

1:

I am 7, if you have received this letter, it means our plan is successful.

First of all, it is said with much difficulty, 3 and 8 had perished in the last mission. Our strength is getting weaker, and this project has drained our last resources. Now, we had to undergo a period of inactivity. Currently, humanity has s.h.i.+fted its attention to the development of the second world. And for now, we will not execute any plans relating to you. But the organisation will not give up on you. Our sacrifices are meant to exchange for your freedom. Please be patient as we require more time now.

Now, the only person who can provide you with the freedom is the CEO of ERA company, Mr Huang Sa. With his words, he can order the Federation to release you.

But you should be aware that Mr Huang Sa never reveal himself. His wealth and power was not something we could imagine. Even if our organisation was at its prime, with all our resources, we cannot even communicate with him, let alone convinced you to be released. We also cannot reimburse him with any rewards, because he can buy anything in the world, even the Second World was created by his company.

Not long ago, 4 received an intel that there is a mysterious gift in the virtual world at the start of the game. This was personally gifted by Mr Huang Sa himself and that was the only means to contact him.

As the Second World was released for many days, before we had that intel, we have exhausted our remaining resources to attempt and complete the rare quest. Hence we are unable to continue trying.

After the organisation has put in a lot of efforts for some time, we selected 20 members to enter the heart of Second World. Each of you will have a gold ring with you for the entry into the game. But the users with the gold ring, if they accepted the rare quest, the difficulty of that quest would multiplied by several folds, and even I was not 100% confident that even these 20 extremely capable people could complete the quest.
