Chapter 1270: 408. Dark Infiltration_3

Bitter Gourd Juice knew he couldn’t make it in the gaming circle anymore, so he wisely returned to the game login interface and chose the “Delete Account” option before the game began its maintenance.

The account deletion process took about half a minute.

From then on, there would never again be a character named “Often Drinks Bitter Gourd Juice” in the Starry Sea game.

But giving up on a game where playing could replace working—that had to be somewhat difficult to let go of, right?

The real Mason Gray, known as Often Drinks Bitter Gourd Juice in the game, fell into contemplation as he faced the game helmet whose light had gone out.

Just as he had described to Cucumber Slice and the others, he was a typical young man in debt outside of the game.

The sudden windfall of five million Credit Points, which he exchanged for real currency at a rate of ten to one, had lifted his burden of debt and quickly gave rise to the thought of enjoying life.

“After paying off the debts, I still have about 210,000 left.”

Mason contemplated whether to use this money to take a wife but soon dismissed the idea:

“I might as well not step into another quagmire. Now that I have money, a house, and a car, what kind of woman can’t I find? I should pursue something I can’t experience in reality.”

Mason looked at the game helmet, pondered for a moment, and then tossed it aside.

A game helmet is bound to one game character.

To create a new character, one must buy a new helmet; the old one would be recovered by the Company after the character’s deletion.

Mason spent tens of thousands to buy an advanced game helmet.

Soon, the nearby Company’s outlet delivered it to his doorstep.

It had only been half an hour since he had placed the order until he received the new helmet.

As soon as he got it, Mason couldn’t wait to put it on and begin his new gaming journey.

During the character creation stage, he used a paid beautification service to transform himself into a young, strong man hundreds of times more attractive than he was in reality.

To avoid encountering Cucumber Slice and the others, Mason recharged his game points and purchased the service to choose his own High-level Birthplace.

In the Starry Sea game, birthplaces are ranked.

At the game’s outset, all players could only choose planets with relatively scarce resources.

As more and more planets were discovered by players, many with high happiness indexes and advanced technologies became selectable birthplaces for new characters.

The game officials also rolled out the paid option for selecting High-level Birthplaces, claiming it helped new players have high starting points to catch up with older players sooner.
