I handed over the game to the gaming industry, and the government gave me a hacked version.

Chapter 244 Target Country, Start the Group!

A series of system prompts finally stopped at:

[The Anniversary Celebration Super Invincible Supreme Trial has ended. Do you wish to exit the current scene?]

Chen You did not immediately choose to exit, but instead opened the [Anniversary Deluxe Gift Pack] he had just received.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena or dazzling special effects.

As the light shimmered, an antique wooden box appeared in his hand.

Open the wooden box, and inside lies a palm-sized, irregularly shaped gray stone.

The Broken World Stone!

"Hmm? Just give it to me..."

Chen You raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

He thought he would have to slowly collect these by playing Destruction Mode, but he didn't expect to get another one like this.

However, it's still far from ten yuan, so I don't need it for now.

Chen You suppressed his thoughts for the moment and glanced at the new title he had just received.

【Trickster Crusher】

[Unique Title]

[Effect: Your actions that disrupt the plot logic will have a higher probability of triggering hidden events or unknown variables.]

[Description: The path you've walked is barren... I mean, the plot.]

"It's not very useful."

Chen You pursed his lips and casually closed the introduction.

After this experience, he now feels that having a hidden storyline might not necessarily be a good thing.

On the contrary, it may cause unexpected trouble.

With a swift movement, he flew back towards the rooftop where Moon Arrow and Oro had been.

On the empty rooftop, only a uniquely shaped sniper rifle lay silently on the ground.

The gun body has a cold, metallic feel and a slightly menacing appearance.

Clearly, the item was left behind when Moon Arrow and Oro left.

Chen You's heart stirred slightly.

If two top-tier experts, both over level 90, enter this scenario, their mission objective will most likely be to eliminate themselves.

If they had actually fired...

He bent down to pick up the sniper rifle, and the moment he held it, his brow furrowed.

"This gun...something's not right."

It felt like something was being pulled away from me.

Chen You immediately released his grip, letting the sniper rifle fall to the ground.

Is it some kind of restriction left behind by those two top figures?

Or does this gun have some special properties?

Chen You glanced around.

There's nothing left to explore in this place.

On a whim, he chose to exit the scene.

……

As the light and shadow shifted, he reappeared in the familiar hall of the Supreme Tower.

Behind the counter not far away, the administrator, Hill, maintained her elegant and proper smile, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

Chen You walked straight over, his face expressionless, but his tone was anything but pleasant.

"Hill, is this the surprise event you were talking about?"

"Let me in, then send a group of people, including two top-tier players over level 90, to kill me?"

Hill's smile remained unchanged, even becoming more profound.

"Dear VIP member, the script selection is random, but how you perform it is your own choice."

"If you follow the script, you might experience a poignant love story instead of... a massacre."

The implication is that you chose this path yourself, and you tore up the script yourself, so who can you blame for this ending?

"Oh."

Chen You sneered inwardly.

He was 100% certain that the system had accurately predicted his personality, knowing that he wouldn't follow the rules, and thus prepared everything in advance for him.

However, he was too lazy to argue with an NPC about such a thing.

I glanced at the time; it was probably already dawn in reality.

He spent some time doing what he needed to do that day first, and then dismissed the clone.

Without any delay, the main character exited the training room and logged off.

……

Qinling Command Center.

Chen You opened his eyes and moved his body slightly.

Then he followed his assistant to the conference room.

Li Guoan, Zhang Yunhai, Sun Feng, and others sat around the conference table, their expressions serious.

Upon seeing him enter, Li Guoan immediately waved for him to sit down.

"Everyone is here now."

Li Guoan looked at Chen You, "Xiao Chen, why don't you tell me first, is there anything urgent that needs to be dealt with?"

"Hmm." Chen You nodded and recounted his recent experiences.

All the experts fell into deep thought, their brows furrowed.

"unreasonable."

Sun Feng, the data analysis team leader, was the first to break the silence.

"From a data modeling perspective, using ten thousand players to control a level 50 mech..."

"Its operational delays, command conflicts, and information redundancy will reduce the mech's combat effectiveness by at least 90%."

He looked at Chen You: "Theoretically, a well-trained level 50 elite player, operating that mech alone, would pose a much greater threat to you than those ten thousand rabble."

"Source World System, why choose such an inefficient method?"

"With the intelligence of the Source Realm, couldn't we just create any AI?"

That's a very good question.

Tactical team leader Zhang Yunhai chimed in, "So, its purpose might not be to enhance the combat capabilities of that mech at all."

He looked at Chen You: "What it needs is for those 10,000 players to enter the mechs. Once inside, besides combat, they'll definitely have other uses."

All eyes were on Chen You.

Li Guoan asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Chen, describe in more detail the feeling of your body being 'pulled away' when you picked up that sniper rifle."

"It's hard to describe," Chen You frowned as he recalled. "It's not exactly detachment either..."

"It's more like something was transferred from myself to the gun."

"It's very faint, but it definitely exists. If my mental strength weren't far beyond that of ordinary people, I probably wouldn't even be able to detect it."

Biologist Zhang Ping's eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "Is it life energy? Or some kind of spiritual source?"

"...Professor Zhang, what you're saying is too far-fetched." Chen You's lips twitched.

"All I can say is that it felt awful, but it seemed like I hadn't actually lost anything."

"The mech is the container, the sniper rifle is the port..." Materials expert Qian Zhonghua muttered to himself, his face turning somewhat pale.

"Is their goal to obtain something from the players without them even realizing it?"

"hiss……"

Gasps of shock rose and fell.

Social relations expert Pan Yu's expression was extremely serious.

"If this conjecture is true, then the underlying logic of the game 'Source Realm' may be far darker than we imagine!"

"This hypothesis cannot be verified at the moment."

Li Guoan raised his hand, signaling everyone to calm down.

His usually calm and composed face now showed a hint of solemnity.

"Conclusive evidence is still lacking. Sun Feng, list this conjecture as one of the highest-level intelligence to be verified in the 'Source Realm'."

"All relevant information needs to be reviewed and risk-assessed again."

"yes!"

"Alright, let's put this matter on hold for now."

Li Guoan glanced at the clock on the wall, then turned his gaze to Chen You.

"Xiao Chen, let's get back to the next task."

He paused, a hint of inexplicable expectation in his voice.

"It's time to make a trip to Japan."
