Chapter 725: Edited: Chapter 5 Vanishing_2

The Game Administration Bureau is really pushing it this time. To be honest, it feels like they’re courting death.

But for such matters, a little advice is fine, as he had said before, great benefits always come with great risks, if you’re going to stir up trouble, you have to be mentally prepared for terrifying consequences.

Time quickly moved to the next day, at nine o’clock in the morning, the players’ conference finally officially began.

The entire venue was full, with as many as five or six hundred people present.

The conference hadn’t even started yet, and the trading and networking among players had already begun.

The abilities from the game brought into reality were truly bizarre. Inner Strength and Martial Arts, being the most ordinary and least valuable, were useful only for health and fitness, sparring, or maybe starring in a movie or acting as a bodyguard, and nothing much else.

Spells, though magical, were known by few. The truly valuable ones were various Life Skills.

When these skills were practiced to a high level, they had all kinds of magical effects.

In reality, they had unique applications.

These abilities weren’t good for large-scale promotions, but within the player community, there were no concerns, and everyone could exchange what they had.

For example, Strawberry Coke’s Disease Removal Skill, this divine healing skill was naturally very popular. Who doesn’t have relatives, and if someone got a terminal illness, having a friend who could heal them would mean making an appointment in advance.

Not just spells, those who knew Alchemy, talisman painting, or artifact making also became the hotcakes, surrounded by crowds exchanging business cards.

Xiao Jie, however, was a bit depressed. His professional skills focused on cooking, which had limited use in reality, as he didn’t plan to open a restaurant.

There were some top-grade dishes in cooking that could directly enhance states. If athletes or boxers ate them before a game, not only would they be highly effective, but also undetectable—practically black technology.

But Xiao Jie wasn’t much interested in selling these dishes. Having just earned ten million, money meant little to him now.

Finally, it was time to formally start the meeting, as Long Xingtianxia took the stage, everyone settled down.

"Welcome everyone to Beidou, to attend this players’ conference. I am the chairman of the Dragon Soaring Guild, Long Xingtianxia. I suppose everyone has heard of my name.

It is an honor to be the host of this conference, and an honor that all of you have given me this face to attend...

The purpose of this conference is, on the one hand, for mutual exchange and interaction opportunities, but the biggest goal is that I have a dream. I want to establish a gaming environment where all players can grow with peace of mind, work together in unity, and build a great cause.

Now the game is full of disputes, player killings occur frequently. Many people do not die in adventures but at the hands of other players, which is truly regrettable.

My goal is to resolve this meaningless conflict. To represent fairness and authority, I have specially invited Director Wang of the Game Administration Bureau to speak."

Upon hearing this, the players below began to murmur and buzz.

Some even booed.

Game players, being such creatures, tend to dislike rules and constraints. Organizing their own meeting was one thing, but having the Game Administration Bureau involved was another?

Director Wang, however, waved as he walked onto the stage.

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Director Wang of the Game Administration Bureau. You are all my benefactors. After all, my position was established thanks to your presence, so I have come to serve you..."

Director Wang was very skilled with language. In a few words, he closed the distance with the players, calming their murmurs.

The ensuing introduction was about the latest proposal, which simply put, was for the guild to manage players, while the Game Administration Bureau directly engaged with the guild for so-called ’communication.’

The wording was very tactful, but the meaning was clear. Essentially, it meant to intervene in the game, but not directly managing, rather the guild would do it.

A bit like tax collection.

"Our Game Administration Bureau hopes to work with Dragon Soaring this time, to open a new Chapter and achieve harmonious gaming—"

Just as Xiao Jie was listening, his vision suddenly flickered, like a frame drop in a video game.

He rubbed his eyes, staring blankly at the empty stage. Wait—what just happened? Why was he so absorbed in staring at an empty stage?

In fact, he wasn’t the only one reacting this way. Other players also looked bewildered and confused.

"Huh, this is odd?"

"What just happened? Why can’t I remember?"

"It seemed like someone was about to speak, right?"

"Was it Chairman Long who was speaking? But where did he go all of a sudden?"

"There, Chairman Long is down there!"

Long Xingtianxia, standing below, also looked around in surprise. He glanced at the stage again.

That’s not right, he was indeed speaking just now, but what came next should be—"Who was supposed to speak next? Where did they go?"

"Chairman, who are you talking about?" Longteng Sihai asked, equally bewildered.

"The one from the Game Administration Bureau...damn it, it happened again!"

Long Xingtianxia realized in horror that he couldn’t remember who the Game Administration Bureau had sent.

But they had definitely sent someone. They even discussed the proposal details yesterday.
