The Crowd's Shock, Limited Slots

Although the middle-aged man was shocked, he quickly came to his senses.

Like everyone else, he stepped forward one by one to record his current status.

He stood where the Twelve Statues had originally been and began to record.

A data panel notification appeared before their eyes.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully obtaining a certain fortuitous encounter."

"Do you want to record your current status?"

"This record is equivalent to a data archive; you can be resurrected here after you die."

"Its priority is higher than that of the Revival Stone."

Upon hearing the Game System's notification, the middle-aged man felt a mix of emotions.

Furthermore, the Game System displays. "You can save your game 12 times here."

"However, there has to be a one-month interval between each save."

This is equivalent to having 12 save files.

There will be a one-month interval between each save.

This way, the file can be saved from being frozen.

A "dead save" means that no matter how many times you reload the save, you will inevitably die.

This usually occurs among beginners.

Beginners often save their data too frequently.

For example, you might save all your save points before fighting a boss, but you haven't fully developed your character, haven't obtained the key items, and can't defeat the boss.

In this case, the only option is to restart the game.

This setting is quite user-friendly.

Hearing this, everyone was very satisfied.

In short, everyone noted down their current save file.

They greatly admired Gao Linzhi.

Because the other party successfully helped them.

This made them feel that their trip was worthwhile.

They then began praising Gao Linzhi.

Before this, no one thought that others were much better than themselves.

Now they are truly convinced.

Then, one by one, they recorded their own situations.

However, Gao Linzhi would never bother to record it.

Because he knew there must be hidden dangers involved.

Because this is tantamount to surrendering one's life and soul completely to a strange and monstrous being.

Since ordinary people have short lifespans, they are naturally willing to take risks.

But he wouldn't do that.

He believed that this was indeed the case.

At that moment, of course, no one else noticed this.

Ultimately, whether or not to record something is a personal choice.

The system notification is something that others are unaware of.

The Game System won't tell other players about this.

But after the record was made, someone suddenly said, "We must keep this island a secret."

"Because we finally solved the problem and were able to record and archive it."

"We can't let others get it so easily."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone immediately agreed, "That's right, we should keep it a secret."

"We should make good use of this technology ourselves, and not let future generations use it for nothing."

After saying this, they all nodded.

Having finally obtained such a rare opportunity for Immortality, they certainly didn't want others to get it for nothing.

Wouldn't they suffer a huge loss?

You have to understand, they risked their lives before!

They quickly devised a plan to hide the place.

First, there were everyone present.

They looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man immediately said, "I agree, everyone, we can sign a contract together."

"Everyone must keep this a secret."

As they spoke, they immediately signed a confidentiality agreement.

The contract was very simple.

They swore an oath to God that they must keep this place a secret.

Anyone who leaks this information will be struck by lightning and cursed by everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement, saying that this was the right thing to do.

No one thinks they are being ungrateful or trying to prevent others from following the same path they've taken.

On the contrary, they all felt that doing so was the right choice.

Anyone who opposes this will face a combined attack from so many people.

Such a blow would obviously be fatal to an individual.

They absolutely refuse to give away the benefits they've worked so hard for.

It should at least be used to obtain enough benefits.

This is in everyone's best interest.

Gao Linzhi also expressed his approval.

Because this was exactly what he had expected.

He didn't want to give away this good thing to someone else for nothing.

And at this time.

The companion codenamed "Wind" worriedly raised a potential hidden danger.

"In case this anomaly harbors some unknown hidden dangers, we've sealed it off."

"Therefore, we cannot obtain a large number of test samples, and eventually, the hidden dangers will manifest themselves in our own lives. What should we do then?"

"Yes, that makes sense." "Fire" indicates agreement.

"Yes, that's true. If this hidden danger is fatal, for example, if we lose our memories or our souls, and we've sealed it off without even realizing it, then we're doomed."

Gao Linzhi also agreed.

This is why technology cannot develop in closed environments.

Without the opening up of a large market, it is difficult to have sufficient demand.

Without need, there will be no technological development.

After thinking it over, everyone quickly made a decision.

Gao Linzhi said, "Then we can appropriately open up some spots and set a sufficiently high threshold."

"Get enough compensation before letting others in."

"In this way, we can monopolize the market while ensuring a continuous supply of test samples."

"If any potential problems arise, we can detect them promptly and make adjustments accordingly."

"That's right, we should have the right to fair compensation." "Wind" nodded.

Soon, the group decided to establish an Immortality project team.

It was a private exchange meeting on Immortality.

This means that everyone has shared common interests and a common platform.

There is also room for cooperation among everyone.

With this in mind, they quickly began to put their ideas into practice.

Those present were all elites.

They immediately gathered manpower and began construction on the island.

The main purpose is to create a formation to conceal the island, making it impossible for ordinary people to find.

This island is strange; there isn't a single person on it—it's an uninhabited island.

This makes it easier for them to hide their secrets.

Moreover, this place is not far from Wolf Snake Island, which is right where Gao Linzhi's headquarters is located.

They could establish a fixed shipping route.

Then troops were dispatched to protect the area and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

At this point, it was naturally Gao Linzhi's side that provided the troops.

Of course, he also received the most benefits.

No one else objected.

In fact, if it were an ordinary person, they would turn on them, kill the others, and take over the place for themselves.

But Gao Linzhi did not do that.

He needs more Longevity Being to conduct research.

As a result, Gao Linzhi held 51% of the shares, while the others each held one or two percent.

So it wasn't a complete waste of time.

And so things continued.

After arranging things for Wuliao, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, Gao Linzhi quickly returned to Wolf Snake Island with the others to continue participating in the Longevity Society's activities.

After all, the Longevity Society is still holding its free gatherings on the island.

The party continued even after they returned.

Immediately, many people came over to ask them questions.

"Excuse me, are you going to that deserted island?"

Yes, after all, the middle-aged man had mentioned that location before, and many people had heard it, but they were too afraid of the danger to go there.

The middle-aged man was immediately embarrassed.

He's starting to regret it a little now.

If he had known the first group could solve the problem, he wouldn't have been so quick to tell so many people.

He had thought that problem would be difficult to solve and would require countless test samples.

It would take at least tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of people to crack it.

As it turned out, Wuming.

He really shot himself in the foot.

The others also looked at him with resentment.

"Fortunately, we've chosen a new strategy, which allows us to open up a bit more," the middle-aged man quickly reassured everyone in a low voice.

Then Gao Linzhi stepped forward and said, "That's right, we've cracked it, and that deserted island is now ours."

"This area is basically occupied by our Immortality Group. If anyone wants to record their status, they can go directly over there."

"However, you will need to pay a certain fee. We will tell you the specifics of the fee later."

Everyone was immediately surprised, then overjoyed.

"So, if I could record my state indefinitely, wouldn't I be able to Immortality?"

"Yes, as long as you're close to dying of old age, you can simply load the save file, review your memories, and live again."

"No, there must be some side effects. Heaven and earth wouldn't be so kind."

"It's like those long-lived creatures, such as pine trees, which are difficult to move, or long-lived old tortoises, which are also slow-moving and basically don't enjoy life much."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

This is also why Gao Linzhi and others released the quota.

They need someone to help them discover the hidden problems and the side effects.

Discover the potential risks.

Only in this way can it be used normally for a long time.

This is the only way to avoid unforeseen risks when they use it.

And so they began their swift action.

Despite hearing about potential risks, those attending the gathering still enthusiastically signed up.

They have to record their status.

At the same time.

Those who were monitoring them from behind—the high-ranking members of the Longevity Society —were dumbfounded.

"Impossible, how could they be so fast?"

"They seem to have achieved a small goal of Immortality. Are these people really that clever?"

"This doesn't make sense."

"I've heard about that deserted island too. You have to answer 12 questions. The first part is easy, but the last part is incredibly difficult!"

"You should know that the truly intelligent people and the real resources are all here with us."

"I suspect that guy got some items from the system again through his Pay-to-Win Talent."

Haha, they stumbled upon the right answer by accident; they guessed half of it correctly.

Gao Linzhi didn't actually get the item, but he got the answer directly.

It's fair to say that the Game System's understanding of this world is something that Ordinary Player cannot yet compare to.

The Game System, after all, is far more powerful.

"No, these bastards, their development speed is too fast, far beyond our imagination!"

"We must suppress them."

"Yes, we just gave them a platform, and they were able to quickly integrate information and make such a discovery. It's terrifying!"

This is indeed an industrialization reform from a feudal dynasty.

They just said they would treat each other with sincerity, but now it's just the same old story in a different guise.

They're trying to suppress the other side again.

If that's the case, then what's the point of this Longevity Society?

It's impossible to expect these Company Executive to help people achieve true Immortality.

Because they will soon reveal their true nature.

Their very nature is that they don't trust ordinary people or freelancers to the core.

They started thinking about how to suppress them.

"We must suppress them with ruthless methods."

"This tactic includes dismantling them from within, striking them from within."

"It's obvious these people are going down the same old path again."

Although they know it's wrong, that's their nature, and there's no way to change it.

Like a pack of wolves, they wear sheep's clothing and are usually very amiable.

When it comes to making the final decision, my instinct is still to eat lamb.

They are incapable of changing their habits.

This is something that most kind-hearted people simply cannot imagine.

They thought these people would actually change on their own initiative, but that wasn't the case.

Wolves will definitely eat sheep; their behavior won't change just because sheep are different.

Then they resorted to their signature tactic: using their feminine wiles.

In their eyes, Gao Linzhi was a eunuch and had no interest in beautiful women.

But the others should be easy to defeat.

So this was the fourth day of the official event.

They then sent over a stunningly beautiful woman.

She went directly to the "wind".

Feng, being a young man, couldn't resist the woman's allure.

He took the bait very easily.

He not only directly stated the location of the uninhabited island they had discovered, but also mentioned that the place could record a person's condition.

These are open secrets.

Crucially, he also revealed the solution.

The problem is solved by simply destroying all twelve statues.

At this moment, "Wind" said admiringly, "That Wuming teacher is really amazing."

"I never expected that the other party would crack it with such a simple method."

"I thought it would take a lot of effort."

"Now it seems that the gap between me and my teacher is just too big, too big."

"Sigh, as long as I follow my teacher from now on, I believe I will also be able to achieve Immortality."

That's what the wind says.

At the same time, several other people said the same thing.

They all admired Gao Linzhi immensely.

That's just how the world is. If you have skills and others can benefit from you, they will naturally admire you.

In their eyes, Gao Linzhi was that powerful.

Their strength is obvious.

The problems they couldn't solve, the other party could easily solve.

In contrast, the Company Executive only knows how to suppress others.

In truth, this beautiful woman understood this as well.

The Longevity Society's higher-ups were in the wrong in this matter.

However, she had no choice but to obey orders.

Otherwise, she would also be severely punished.

There's nothing that can be done about it.

She could only hint at it to the other person.

"Actually, there are no truly clean people in the world."

"Only newborn babies are truly clean."
