Chapter 2: Logging into the Game, Hidden Quest
Johnnie was moved; Crysic was one of the most loyal people by his side.
In his past life, he was secretly betrayed by Tyrande. Crysic, on her own, infiltrated Tyrande's Canglan Guild, hoping to avenge him.
But her strength was ultimately too weak. She was humiliated by Tyrande and vanished without a trace.
Johnnie suspected that, knowing that wicked woman's methods, she was probably secretly killed.
This time around, he wanted to make it up to Crysic.
"Crysic, if you're following me now, we'll have to start over from scratch. Are you sure about this?" Johnnie was confident that he could rise to a higher status in the game, but the early stages would definitely be tough.
"I'm sure." Crysic nodded without a hint of hesitation.
"Alright, here's one million. Consider it an advance on your salary. Buy a game login crystal," he said, handing her a check for one million.
The game Horizon required a special crystal to log in, a piece of technology that was not from Earth. Special agencies had studied it and speculated that it came from alien technology.
This was one of the reasons why the game became so popular.
Alien technology—who wouldn't want to give it a try?
