Chapter 525 - Taking Them Down in Real Life (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

After the dawn came, the chat box came up with three more options—’With your impressive luck, you managed to survive the first night. You were gripped by uncertainty and fear. You started to hesitate, not knowing whether to stay and look after your mother or return through the dungeon and leave this place.’

1. You feel at home in this place. You like the atmosphere of this small town and decide to stay to experience it for one more night.

2. You miss your mother a lot, but you feel like you’re already at your limit. You decide to leave.

3. You are conflicted and in so much pain. Everything here is different from the real world, but you decide to stay until you find your mother.

The cursor moved between the three choices. As a player who wanted to know more about the world, he was leaning toward the first choice, but if he was choosing for the sake of Xiao Bu, he had to choose the second choice. Xiao Bu would grow up safely after leaving this scary world.

After a long silence, Chen Ge moved the cursor to the third choice. “The first choice is the most stable, the second is best for Xiao Bu, and the third is probably what Xiao Bu would have chosen.”

Not leaving until Xiao Bu’s mother was found… if Xiao Bu’s mother was harmed, then Xiao Bu would never find the person she was looking for, and she would be trapped there forever. Chen Ge clicked on the mouse, choosing the third one. “If we need to seek salvation for Xiao Bu, we mustn’t lie to ourselves even in-game.”

After confirming his choice, there was a new save point in game. The original save point was Xiao Bu’s home in real life, and this new one was Xiao Bu’s home in the other world. “With this new save point, I can get Fan Chong to explore the other side quests without worry.”

Chen Ge controlled Xiao Bu to get to the rooftop. The sky was low and gray like a fog covering the whole town.

“I wonder how many stories this place is hiding. Solving it in one night is impossible.” Chen Ge was clear that the method that he had used that night would not be repeated every time. “I’m curious… if everything did happen in real life, how did Xiao Bu survive until the end?”

“Boss Chen, I don’t think you should think too much of it. Just play it your way.” Fan Chong looked at Xiao Bu, who glanced at the town holding the knife, and realized that the game had truly changed.

“The new save file has appeared. The tempo of the game will probably slow down. I don’t think I’ll be able to clear the game tonight; I’ll leave that in your capable hands.” Chen Ge narrowed his eyes like he was coming up with a plan.

“Leave it to me?” Fan Chong rubbed his hands. After seeing Chen Ge play the game, he was too embarrassed to take up his mantle.

“It’s alright, just relax. But you have to remember one thing. Record every death and case that you come across, and try to explore every inch of this map within these few days.”

“Every inch of the place?” Fan Chong’s lips moved, and he added softly, “Then that means I’ll die so many times… Isn’t that a bit too cruel?”
