Chapter 505 - - 460 Tit for Tat_2

“Xu Wan, I’m not in the mood for jokes,” Luo Yan frowned. “We are a formal government agency, and the reason we approached you is to cooperate with you…”

“Forgive me for being blunt, but I haven’t seen any sincerity from you.” Xu Wan’s smile faded as she spoke earnestly, “I know you have significant power, but I still don’t know what your department does or what benefits I can get from this.”

“The National Strategic Defense Bureau aims to recruit and supervise gamers like you to prevent you from endangering the world. Based on your traits, we customize growth plans for you and use your strength to defeat the Sylvan civilization,” Luo Yan said, glancing at her.

“So that’s the game you’re playing.” Xu Wan raised an eyebrow, spread her arms, and reclined lazily in her business seat. “Did the anonymous letter you received tell you how many of us gamers will ultimately win?”

“Three,” Luo Yan said.

“He told you that too? His keywords wouldn’t happen to be about manipulation or scheming, would they?” Xu Wan was somewhat surprised. Looking at Luo Yan, she said, “Since you know that only three people will win in the end, what makes you think you have the power to manage us?”

“Those gamers who don’t comply with the management will die.” Watching the two trying to probe each other and having been silent all this time, Duge suddenly spoke up. He looked at Xu Wan with a challenging gaze and said coldly, “Why don’t we spar when you’re free? I want to see what you gamers are capable of.”

At Duge’s words, even Nalan Li, who had good control over her expressions, couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth. That bastard, he’s imitating Wang Zheng and pretending to be one of our own!

“Sure!” Xu Wan glanced at Duge, then turned to Luo Yan and chided, “Director Luo, I told you that you lack sincerity. From beginning to end, I still don’t know who these two people are.”

“Nalan Li, director of the liaison office at the National Strategic Defense Bureau, responsible for assigning tasks and coordinating communications for gamers like you,” Nalan Li said indifferently.

“Lin Hong, ace mech pilot, responsible for the security of the Strategic Defense Bureau,” Duge said.

Security?

When Xu Wan heard these two words, her eyebrows twitched slightly. Shaking her head, she said, “I hope you can still maintain that confidence after our test!”

Duge snorted and closed his eyes, no longer speaking.

Xu Wan shook her head again and turned back to Luo Yan, “Director Luo, you probably don’t understand how dangerous gamers can be. I don’t believe you have the capability to suppress gamers. Cooperating with you would expose me to danger…”

This statement aligned with Lin Hong’s concerns. Indeed, every gamer was scheming against others, preserving themselves.

Luo Yan was silent for a moment before saying, “There are several departments like mine, and gamers will counterbalance each other. Then, through the restraint among you, we force you to coexist peacefully.”

“…” Xu Wan.

“The anonymous letter to us said that the gamers’ survival environment is quite harsh. Staying in the game area for an extra day means enjoying one more day of ease and comfort than returning to your world after the game ends. You did the same in the previous game area,” Luo Yan said.

“It’s not Duge,” Xu Wan paused, frowning.

“Who exactly is Duge?” Luo Yan asked.

“A ruthless madman,” Xu Wan said. “In pursuit of victory, he’ll rapidly build an early advantage and then lead the entire world into disaster, not caring at all about your lives or deaths. If you have any information on him, I suggest you eliminate him at all costs.”

Hah!

It’s not time for you to enjoy the benefits I provide.

Duge’s eyelids didn’t even twitch. A bunch of ingrates. When I get serious, I’ll starve everyone on your entire planet…

Luo Yan looked at him, a smile in his eyes. When he had knocked on Xu Wan’s door, he hadn’t said anything, yet this guy ended up exposing himself and then scrambled to surrender out of fear.

If Duge was like she described, the right thing to do would be to resist desperately!

Previously wanting to rely on Duge, now looking to use them to kill Duge…

Heh!

Not a single true word had come out of this guy’s mouth from the beginning, and like Lin Hong, his mental fortitude was frighteningly stable. His heart rate hadn’t changed throughout, subduing these gamers and using their abilities for Green Star was a long and arduous task!

“Xu Wan, now that you have a preliminary understanding of us, can you tell us what your keyword is?” Luo Yan smiled. “Only by telling us your keyword can we tailor a growth path for you, helping you establish a lead over all other gamers.”

“Imitation, my keyword is imitation,” Xu Wan said, looking at Luo Yan. “I’ve awakened a skill called ‘Confuse the real with the fake,’ which allows me to perfectly replicate any moves and skills used by others that I’ve seen. You’ve probably seen my videos. My moves, the timing, and speed of drawing my gun are not much different from Kill One Every Ten Steps.”

Imitation?

Is that even true?

Luo Yan furrowed his brows slightly.

Xu Wan’s explanation of imitation was as flawless as Lin Hong’s explanation of the trend. It sounded bulletproof!

Moreover, her recent explanation of exposure perfectly matched her actions. It’s too difficult to clarify the real keywords of these gamers through conventional means.
