Chapter 724: After modification: Chapter 5 The Disappearance of the Gods

Director Wang said seriously: "Mr. Xiao, saying this is just shirking responsibility."

Xiao Jie laughed instantly, "Shirking responsibility? I’m just a game player, what responsibility do I have?"

This rendered Director Wang speechless, he said in a low voice: "Mr. Xiao, are you sure you don’t want to help?"

"What, Director Wang, are you trying to threaten me?" Xiao Jie’s voice also lowered, looking at Director Wang seriously.

He stood up and looked down at Director Wang. His figure was clearly not tall, but for some reason, he had a terrifying aura like a prehistoric beast.

In the past, when encountering such official figures, Xiao Jie would be careful to deal with them. But the powerful strength brought a change in his mentality. Although Xiao Jie did not dare to say he had surpassed worldly rules, he already had the confidence to overturn the table.

Moreover, he knew very well that as long as he didn’t act recklessly, the Game Administration Bureau wouldn’t dare to do anything to him.

Director Wang hurriedly waved his hand and laughed, "Haha, of course not, just discussing, just discussing."

Xiao Jie also smiled instantly, "Haha, then you’ve got my answer, take care, no need to see you out."

As he said that, he made a please gesture.

Long Xingtianxia, who was beside him, exchanged a glance with the others, but they could only shrug.

Director Wang nodded to Long Xingtianxia, "Alright, then don’t bother, I’ll walk out myself." As he walked out, he whispered to Long Xingtianxia while passing by him, "You should try persuading him again."

After saying that, he left the meeting room.

Long Xingtianxia felt helpless. Xiao Jie could act without scruples and didn’t care about the Game Administration Bureau. But the rest of them couldn’t act like this. After all, the activation codes for entering the game were issued by the higher-ups back then.

They naturally had some official background. Even though they all entered the game after retiring, theoretically they were no longer official personnel.

But deep inside, everyone understood the mission they carried.

"Brother Sui Feng, you cherish your reputation too much. It’s most suitable for you to speak up on this matter..."

Xiao Jie shrugged without explaining.

Long Xingtianxia wasn’t willing to give up, "If this proposal can pass, it would greatly benefit the entire gaming community. Reducing the in-game killing and offline chaos, isn’t that good?"

Xiao Jie shook his head, "Those crazy players are not my problem. Dealing with crazy players is the job of the Game Administration Bureau. As an ordinary citizen, it’s not my job to get involved, I’m not paid for this, why should I worry?

Besides, why should I care? Anyone who chooses to play this game must be prepared to face death. Every death in this game is justifiable—unless someone is unaware of the game’s truth.

Playing this game inherently involves both risk and reward. If there was only reward without risk, there’s no such good thing in the world."

Long Xingtianxia found himself speechless.

After a moment of thought, he said, "Even if it’s not for other players, for yourself, you should speak up. If the proposal passes, Dragon Soaring will have a semi-official status. As the vice president, you’ll hold significant power. Our Dragon Soaring’s dominance will also naturally elevate your status...."

Listening to this, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but laugh, "Stop, stop, Long, I used to think we had a tacit understanding. Now your words make me question that understanding."

This left Long Xingtianxia momentarily speechless.

This so-called tacit understanding, Long Xingtianxia naturally understood. Xiao Jie refused to become a core member from the beginning, rejecting to be bound by the guild’s rules, aiming for a carefree gaming experience.

Even though he became increasingly tied to Dragon Soaring later, this never changed. Despite being the vice president now, he was still essentially a mercenary, helping Dragon Soaring conquer in exchange for using Dragon Soaring’s power.

Long Xingtianxia initially thought the vice president position could win him over completely, but now it seemed he overthought.

Xiao Jie continued, "Also, I think you all are oversimplifying the matter. You think that having the Game Administration Bureau intervene through the gaming guild doesn’t count as direct supervision?

Remember the incident when the Game Administration Bureau tried to control the game? No matter who created this game, its power is beyond our imagination. Playing mind games with such an existence, you really are fearless because of ignorance.

If you want to court death, go ahead. I’m not interested. As a friend, listen to my advice: don’t provoke those you can’t understand."

Xiao Jie patted Long Xingtianxia’s shoulder, nodded to the others, and left the meeting room.

Xiao Jie’s words had some sincerity. While advancing his own cause, deep inside Xiao Jie was very wary of the game’s creator. Thinking deeply about this matter was scary.

Not to mention the small Game Administration Bureau, even the entire world, Xiao Jie felt that the game’s creator might be able to manipulate it with his power.

Just unable to prove it. Such an existence, given that it doesn’t want anyone to control this game, naturally shouldn’t touch this red line.
