"The game servers will shut down in one hour."
Those words appeared before Ke Meng's eyes.
Because of zero presence, Ke Meng was now trapped in the game. He could only wait to wake up naturally or for the Bandaged Man to take back his bandages.
Another shutdown, Ke Meng muttered inwardly.
Ke Meng knew that the Orange Star People still controlled access to the game. They could shut it down or open it up whenever they wanted.
Fortunately, a server shutdown could not stop Ke Meng from thinking, and the monsters in the game seemed unaffected as well.
No, they must have discovered something and started making moves again. Ke Meng's thoughts raced. Something felt unusual.
The game had gone a long time without a shutdown.
When the game first launched, the servers would shut down every so often.
Now that things had stabilized, there had not been a shutdown for some time. For them to suddenly shut it down today, the Orange Star People must have been making another "major move."
What sort of major move could it be?
Ke Meng truly could not figure it out.
To learn what they were planning, Ke Meng decided to use Synesthesia on his followers.
Ke Meng had plenty of followers. A million followers was no joke-it really was an enormous number.
Scattered far and wide, these followers were like stars filling the sky. To put it bluntly, they could infiltrate every walk of life as turncoats.
From his days of spying, Ke Meng knew that power on Orange Star in the real world rested in the hands of the researcher class, not capital.
It was a nation strengthened by technology, and that technology was in the researchers' hands. Almost all its resources went toward technological research and development.
