"President, what should I do?"
Gu Yuan looked at the screen before him.
After discovering that this was not the type of game where one's true body crossed over, a new communication channel had been established.
On the screen before him, he could see the figures of Chief President Old Vegetable Gang, Hong Gouyi, and Chen Ci.
Of course... they did not dare monitor Aaron and the others, nor were they capable of doing so.
The reason they had not gathered together was that they feared a player might lose control and disrupt the others' normal gameplay.
It could be said that, for this game, the association had already committed most of its resources.
"I think we should explore... If the game remains this difficult throughout, then we absolutely cannot let any opportunity to uncover its secrets slip away... This is also the opinion given by the association's advisory group."
Sitting cross-legged in the training grounds, Old Vegetable Gang spoke calmly. "For the final victory, we need to gain a certain advantage and foundation in the early stages. Of course... this is a personal choice for each player. I'm merely making a suggestion."
Gu Yuan gritted his teeth and chose one!
[You have chosen to investigate the ruins before you. You must undergo a check... Check in progress!]
A die appeared, making Gu Yuan's heart leap into his throat.
Very quickly, the die displayed its result—66!
[You turn over the ancient bricks and stones and find a broken stele beneath them, inscribed in Great Liang script... Most of the writing upon it has long since blurred beyond recognition. You can only barely make out two words—"Xu Fu"!]
"Th-That's it?"
Gu Yuan's eyes widened.
He had wagered his life on an investigation, only to obtain a name?
