Seizing the BOSS Template at the Start

"Tell me the simplest way and name of extraordinary technology that can be replicated in another world."

"And it responded with two sentences: Dawn of Knowledge Hall, Worker Bee and Faith Converge in Divine Magic Array."

The players all turned their eyes to the array not far away, then looked puzzledly at the Guard Brigade. That wasn’t a faith convergence array, but a summoning array text, and Demacia was very familiar with it.

The Guard Brigade ignored their confusion and continued speaking on his own: "During that time, I got to know a player god called Unos while helping Baiyi convey messages, and learned about his situation through some friends..."

Unos smiled at everyone’s gaze but didn’t interject; he and Black Sister were outsiders here, so he had no need to say much.

"I think, perhaps the top genius students of the past might be interested in researching its mysteries with me."

"So, the work of the Worker Bee is left to this god."

"We translated a lot of materials and spent a lot of time; we couldn’t replicate the Worker Bee 1:1, but as you’ve seen, the Worker Bee... moved!"

"We didn’t use physical means, even retracted the wings of the Worker Bee, but it could still fly. Without electromagnetic devices, why can’t this become Blue Star’s extraordinary item?"

"And having reached this point, I’m almost certain the rumor that both worlds are real is true."

"Then, I got access to the third and fourth use of the Divine Showcase; I know the opportunities to use such divine-level items won’t be many."

"So, I asked two crucial questions."

"Can both worlds connect? How do you enter Xia from Blue Star?"

At this point, the Guard Brigade paused before saying, "The answer was [Yes], and it gave me a task."

"I didn’t get another answer, but isn’t that a kind of answer too?"

The Guard Brigade smiled: "Thus, after 2.0 ended, we had that meeting. You all received an answer card, and although I spoke of a game, it was enough to filter subconscious answers. Now we’ve arrived here."

"This might be a mechanism..."

Demacia wanted to say something but swallowed his words, looking at the Worker Bee in the Guard Brigade’s hand.

It seemed... it wasn’t a mechanism.

Flowers of the Other Shore tapped the table: "Have you all seen the trailer?"

No one answered the question. As expert players, game mechanics had to be studied, and they would read every version’s detailed nerfs and buffs.

The trailer is always the first thing to watch.

He looked at the Guard Brigade: "Even if what you’re saying is completely true, even if you can find a way to enter Xia, even if you can inherit the upcoming Level 45, and even give you your current scholar identity and high favorability with Baiyi."

"Then, against the countless figures overlooking the world in the trailer, can you survive?"

"If what you’re saying is the real world, the first moment of divine descent, the Sun server will be destroyed, Seoli will die instantly after entering."

"In this world, we are players; in that world, we... are nothing!"

After saying that, Flowers of the Other Shore took out his phone to check the game company’s website and had no intention of engaging further, but also did not leave.

The reason remained the same; the attraction of the extraordinary world was too great for the Blue Star People.

That world... has immortality!

The Guard Brigade was about to say something when Demacia solemnly asked, "I have one more question."

"Ask."

"Did you report this matter?"

"No."

"Then don’t report it, and those who heard it, don’t spread it. Let it only be a game." Demacia’s tone was very serious, almost grave: "If you really found a way to enter Xia, have you heard a saying?"

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you."

"That world indeed has an abyss; with the current strength of Blue Star, they can’t even fight Golden Level."

"If it’s truly real, then it’s no longer just your business but the business of all Blue Star, even concerning the stuff behind Dawn Company."

"Once too many people know about these questions, it would be a disaster for Blue Star."

The Guard Brigade listened and exchanged looks with Unos.

Unos silently took out a notebook from the drawer, then split the screen and opened three videos simultaneously.

All three videos appeared to be recorded with pinhole cameras.

They recorded a security guard standing straight, and even when approached to a certain extent, the image instantly blurred.

Soon there was interference noise.

When the footage cleared again, all three videos were several tens of meters away from the security point.

Beep~

Unos’ tone was somewhat heavy: "Three Dawn servers, three Dawn companies, protected by three... of the world’s most elite special forces, equipped with the world’s top jammers..."

He didn’t wait for Demacia and others to question before continuing to operate the computer and open the next three videos.

This time a narration could be heard in the video: "Welcome everyone to the live broadcast, I am host Guard Brigade, many people are curious....."

The video gradually approached the gaming company; this time there was no network issue, and the security personnel only slightly obstructed them. After one receptionist appeared, the Guard Brigade was led into the Celestial Dynasty branch of Dawn Ascension.

Inside, many people were working, each person’s anti-radiation glasses reflecting the glow of code.

It seemed like a very professional and hardworking gaming company.

But after the Guard Brigade made a lap around.

Unos revisited the video.

He paused the live video, zoomed in on those workers’ glasses, where countless codes were very blurry, as if the glasses couldn’t fully reflect the characters.

Moreover, the Guard Brigade was not allowed to stand behind the programmers.

Unos pressed a key on the laptop, and those seemingly garbled reflected letters gradually became clear.

Unos quietly said: "Top-tier electronic information corps, they’re not updating games, but trying to decrypt something using computers."

"Then..." Demacia frowned. By this point, he could also affirm there’s something wrong with this game.

But why did the Guard Brigade, having so much advanced information, not cooperate with them and instead want to act alone?

Ring~

The elevator’s sound rang; several maids placed various drinks and food in front of them and left without looking aside.

"Fifteen thousand insider players, 18 million in 1.0, 90 million in 2.0, unlimited in 3.0, what does that make you think of?"

"Game version updates...."

"Assuming it’s a game," the Guard Brigade smiled, "Think again about the question I asked the Divine Showcase."

"If the intersection point of the two worlds is a game company, then on some higher dimensional level, our influence is increasingly impacting that world, and I think the influence is mutual. Maybe after a few more versions..."

Demacia was startled: "You mean..."

Others, including Flowers of the Other Shore, also looked at the Guard Brigade, seemingly not having thought this far.

"Yes, it’s too dangerous. Unos wants to develop inside, but I want to see if we can close this game. But first, we have to prove the authenticity of Xia." The Guard Brigade nodded affirmatively.

"Then why not cooperate with Dawn Company? They have the world’s most advanced equipment, ample resources, and the highest authority."

"Because I thought of Emperor Shi." The Guard Brigade spread his hands: "Extraordinary, immortality, aren’t those what the upper tiers desire?"

"So, together, let’s find a way in and find a way to shut it down."

"What if it doesn’t work?"

"Since discovery is destined..." The Guard Brigade took a sip of milk tea, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and smiled: "Then cooperate with Dawn Company... fully support Baiyi, actively deepen the connection between the two worlds."

"???

The Guard Brigade: "What? Surprised? Or, do you intend to pledge allegiance to the Ancient Gods?"

"Noel is an option too; Noel’s talent is no weaker than Baiyi’s," Unos silently said.

"Nonsense, Baiyi is only in his thirties, Noel is over five hundred; give Baiyi four hundred years, and he can make gods kneel and repent for their birth."

"That’s because of magic concentration issues, and Baiyi isn’t stronger than Noel."

"Just say if he’s in his thirties, is that a fact?"

"Yes, but..."

"No buts; in the trailer, Baiyi is the one in the central position. This matter is settled like that. Anyway, you’re going to enter the game, so you can’t interfere with my choice."

Unos: ...."Despicable Celestial Dynasty people."

The Guard Brigade: "Then shall we switch roles? Shall I go in?"

Unos: "No, thank you."
