Chapter 1091: The Secret of Hongjun (10400 10600 Supplement)

~14 min read 2,650 words

"This game world is ultimately too weak; it cannot withstand my greatness!"

Aaron muttered a complaint, pulled up his pants... no, that's not it, he took off his virtual gaming helmet.

The so-called Broken Vacuum is, in reality, just character data overflowing and exceeding the limit, commonly known as—Breaking the Limit!

In fact, all Breakers can do this.

However, they won't do it, because once they 'Break the Limit', it means either the world or the player must die... and usually, it's the player who dies!

Therefore, most of what they research are techniques that approach the limit!

Getting close to that high-voltage line, but never crossing it by a single step!

The closer one can get to the limit, the more formidable they are.

For example, Zhuge Wudi and the Black List Grandmaster can mostly only reach the limit of two hundred years of internal energy!

But the purple-robed old eunuch has unique techniques, capable of hiding five hundred years of internal energy without triggering the limit!

Aaron can also break the limit with a single sword strike!

Of course, breaking the limit is nothing special, but after breaking the limit, the world cannot kill him and can only kill itself—that is a bit impressive...

He smiled, ignored the guys frantically calling his communication device, leisurely went to take a shower, and then ate and slept.

After his customary complaint, Aaron looked at this grain of Golden Finger, lost in thought.

He didn't know why the email had turned into a video call, but Breakers could easily do that.

And some hired White Guests often enter the game to find trapped consciousnesses and rescue them.

At night, Ning Chen grabbed his hair, his eyes bloodshot: "I want to save Shen Qingling, and I'm going to make that Breaker pay!"

But Sikong Xiaoxiao was still startled, because the other party actually knew she had joined this hacker circle!

"Just this one request, nothing else?"

Then, he glanced at his bank account balance and instantly became depressed.

The previous Weaver Girl was a workgroup, entering the game while retaining her memory just like the players, which was equivalent to gaining the right to play the game for free.

"I should have known long ago that you were an incredibly powerful Breaker; I've really fallen for it this time!"

"Ahhh! I want to make money!"

"Hmm... alright!"

"But within this Secret Source, there is actually a great terror imprisoned... it later evolved into 【Vairocana】, bringing me a lot of trouble... I resolved this greatest terror, so it can be considered that the karma is settled..."

"Yeah, I've been obsessed with aliens since I was a kid!" Aaron said with a straight face: "Especially Adamsmith's alien decoding program, I really love watching it... Hongjun is an alien, how cool!"

Aaron smiled: "You know... the Alliance doesn't forbid players from dating or doing things in the game, but it forbids game companies from providing such services... but there are still many small companies that skirt the line, engaging in R-18 content, and this Liaozhai small company is one of them; the female ghosts are specifically responsible for seducing players and selling flesh, you know..."

Heilun City.

A young woman wearing sportswear, with a white towel hanging around her neck, who had just stepped off the treadmill drenched in sweat, was thinking about last night's events with some pride.

But Aaron had no interest.

Ning Chen clenched his fists.

However, at this moment, Sikong Xiaoxiao didn't believe it at all; she felt that Aaron's criminal record was definitely ten or a hundred times her own!

The reason it couldn't be found was simply because this was a fake identity!

"Secret Source!"

As a corporate slave at the very bottom of society, he was truly the type to worry about being crushed even by a falling drop of water, and it was even more impossible for him to hold a grudge against anyone.

However, the biggest impact on him was still the company going bankrupt, leaving him unemployed once again...

"Haha..."

"You guessed right, I did it on purpose... haha, to think you dodged the sky-high claim for damages, what a lucky little guy you are..."

She guardedly covered her small chest and said, "I'm telling you: I have no money, and as for my life... I don't have that either!"

"Back then... when I transmigrated, it was only by a stroke of luck that I merged with this flying Secret Source... from then on, there was no stopping it."

"Bad luck... unemployed again..."

And then, like throwing away trash, it was tossed to him.

"Uh... giving it all at once isn't good either; giving a secondary permission should be about right... let me see."

"It's nothing, I seriously considered your previous suggestion and felt I could join the Breaker family; after all, I'm a newcomer, so I need you to guide me into the 'Lawbreaker Alliance'!" Aaron replied with a smile.

Not only was it useless, but it had become a burden.

At this moment, he opened his private mailbox, didn't even look at the game invitation sent by Dugu Jian, and turned to another email.

Fine, although he died a bit miserably every time, for the sake of his salary, he endured it!

Although he had also visited the forums and felt very sorry for that female player's encounter, there was nothing he could do.

Suddenly, a new email appeared in her virtual mailbox.

Inside, there was no video footage, only lines of text—

But he never expected...

But after the Heavenly Dao Game Company went bankrupt, he had to find a job again, and the compensation dropped significantly.

Of course he knew that Breakers were lawless and uninhibited; they could stand up against a big company for the sake of a weak woman, or kidnap a consciousness to extort money.

"I'm not doing it; how about... finding someone else to take the fall? For example... acting as the old grandfather who gives out the Golden Finger?"

"Eh? Why didn't I enter the virtual space?"

If it were on the Magic Continent, it might stage a grand drama of a brave White Guest battling a Breaker dragon and rescuing a princess...

He suddenly gasped, because he had been too excited earlier and hadn't noticed that this email had no sender!

"Hello... Ning Chen!"

And then the Heavenly Dao Game Company was taken down by him, directly going bankrupt, which resulted in a sky-high claim for damages.

"Hiss..."

Especially after seeing the sender, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, various expressions flashing across her face in quick succession.

This is reasonable!

Furthermore, it opened automatically.

Ning Chen's eyes narrowed; he immediately logged into the virtual space and opened the email.

"An email? Could it be that the resume I submitted earlier has a result?"

He had long since passed the stage of such low-level interests and had no interest in one hundred million Alliance Currency...

"Hello, should I call you Sikong Xiaoxiao, or Situ Zhaixin?"

As for her also knowing Aaron's true name and using it to threaten him in return?

The Lawbreaker Alliance is a small organization among Lawbreakers, with no fame to speak of.

"Yeah, let me see—Weaver Girl, real name Shen Qingling... she's having a miserable time now, working at a small company that specializes in Strange Tales, playing the female ghost in the 'Nie Xiaoqian Chapter'!"

Ning Chen set a small goal for himself, then put on his helmet, preparing to enter deep sleep.

Then, a speck of light was snatched out.

The next moment, his expression suddenly became very strange, as if he had discovered a huge bomb, and his right hand grabbed at his own chest.

For a Lawbreaker, forging an identity is not a difficult task.

He was the Cowherd from back then, oh, no, wait, he was Jintong.

Inside a certain detached villa.

【Sikong Xiaoxiao, person from Heilun City of the Alliance, identity account... %¥#@】

People always have to live; one must bow their head when necessary.

Ning Chen was slightly startled: "So I can still dream?"

Seeing the last line, Sikong Xiaoxiao could no longer hold back and puffed out her cheeks.

This email was very strange; it actually had no sender, clearly coming from a Lawbreaker!

Clicking it open, a figure emerged, the image of Situ Zhaixin from Sword Moving the Jianghu: "Not bad... Aaron, I only knew you were strong, but I didn't expect you to be this strong. Any interest in switching careers to become a Lawbreaker? I can take you in!"

Damn it, a player could actually comprehend a sword strike of Broken Vacuum and then directly beat the entire game world into submission!

The memories swallowed by the black hole made Ning Chen feel a fear from the bottom of his heart every time he recalled them...

"Isn't it all your fault!" Ning Chen pointed at the old yellow ox; if looks could kill... uh, he would have been killed by Aaron millions of times already.

"This Venerable One does not act like a human!"

Seeing Sikong Xiaoxiao's reckless yet cowardly kitten-like appearance, Aaron laughed happily: "Don't worry, just this one request. I am very interested in your organization's purpose... so I want to join, because I also believe that Virtual Reality Technology comes from aliens!"

Waking up the next day, he browsed the news as usual:

Sikong Xiaoxiao's face was foul: "Speak... what do you want?"

Suddenly, the virtual helmet issued a notification.

"Who exactly are you? I haven't provoked you before, have I?"

In the end, she still tremblingly called back, and even used her Lawbreaker technology to conceal this communication.

Currently, all major virtual game companies are short of people, so he successfully applied for a job at Sword Moving the Jianghu, becoming a member of the Imperial Palace Guard...

Aaron tossed a coin in his hand, muttering to himself.

【Deeds: Infiltrated "War of the Magic Dragon" to steal data for a competing company... Destroyed the "Ten Thousand Sword Furnace" in the Fairy Sword world... Hijacked the official website of "Elf Continent" to post scandal information... In the Sword Moving the Jianghu world, colluded with a group of Lawbreakers to besiege the official headquarters...】

"Sure enough, meeting Situ Zhaixin will lead to good developments..."

Aaron looked at his Golden Finger, his expression complex: "I didn't expect that the Venerable One would leave it to me..."

This Golden Finger, which he once relied on heavily, became useless after the Venerable One swallowed Vairocana and ascended to become a Creator.

Sikong Xiaoxiao was half-believing and half-doubting; the other party's technology was far superior to her own, and there seemed to be no need to beat around the bush.

This is also a dividend brought by Virtual Reality Technology; in this state, he only needs to sleep for one or two hours to equal eight hours of sleep, which can be called a divine skill for a workhorse!

【The kidnapping case targeting Sophia, heir to the "Apollo Company," continues to receive attention. Lawbreakers have imprisoned the heir's consciousness within the "Magic Continent" game, leaving her body in a vegetative state. The Apollo Company board has offered a sky-high reward of one hundred million to recover Sophia's consciousness... Doubts have erupted again in various places regarding the security of virtual reality...】

As a Lawbreaker, the most taboo thing is to have one's "true name" mastered. The other party even knew exactly what she had done; there was no need to compete anymore, she had lost completely.

【Lawbreaker "Shui Mu Yin Hou" has been caught; their true gender is male...】

Then, it was being repeatedly slaughtered... kicked out of the game, logging in again... being killed again...

Aaron made a deep, resonant sound: "I just like watching you in a state of impotent rage, yet unable to do anything about me!"

"Isn't it all your fault!"

This kind of kidnapping is the extortion method that Lawbreakers like the most.

【Beep, you have a new email!】

Hearing that his former goddess had half-fallen into the dust, Ning Chen almost went crazy and punched the old yellow ox.

"There isn't... I just think—it's interesting!"

"I have an idea..."

"Starting tomorrow, work hard, earn money, and learn network technology!"

In the email, there was only an image of an old yellow ox, and a mocking smile appeared on the ox's face: "You are living so miserably..."

"Heh!" Sikong Xiaoxiao revealed a mocking smile: "That half-baked white professor... his path was wrong from the very beginning. Let me tell you, Hongjun is not a person's name, but a race name... According to our leader's research, that alien should be called 'Hongjun People', or 'Hongjun Star People'! They are not in human form, not even the big-eyed little gray man image, nor do they have many hands or feet; they aren't even flesh-and-blood life forms at all... but—cloud-state life forms! The Hongjun Star People are just a mass of mist! That's why the ancients saw the Hongjun Star People dissipate into heaven and earth and developed the beautiful fantasy that the other party had 'merged with the Tao'..."

Aaron saw a little girl who was at most sixteen or seventeen years old opposite him and couldn't help but smile and greet her.

Fortunately, he later appealed desperately and finally passed an administrative review, discovering that it was that old yellow ox Lawbreaker who caused the game company's data overflow!

Although he was exempted from the sky-high compensation, he still lost his job and had to continue looking for work.

【The "Sword Moving the Jianghu" game company has announced bankruptcy! Its assets have been frozen and it will enter bankruptcy liquidation proceedings...】

"The main body threw it to me, clearly intending for me to step on a landmine!"

If one's consciousness is trapped in the game, they become a vegetable in reality, and it wouldn't even matter if the game servers were shut down!

"So, you are a fellow practitioner of Taoism?"

【Breaker codename—Situ Zhaixin!】

"It's just that I don't know if there are other powerful beings' schemes hidden on this..."

"Ahhh!"

In a dream.

Sikong Xiaoxiao confirmed that he was truly interested in aliens and couldn't help but feel a little smug: "There's an online gathering in a few days, I'll pull you in... Remember to mask your appearance and IP address, actually... you're definitely more of an expert at this than I am!"

She gave a mischievous smile, pointing out Aaron's identity with a hint of playfulness.

Ning Chen was so angry he wanted to curse.

Aaron saw the third news item, the corners of his mouth curling into a slight smile.

Ding!

He tossed another coin, confirming the choice of a certain lucky person, a playful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"So that's how it is..." Aaron exclaimed repeatedly: "Please, you must let me join you!"

Aaron had a clean background with no criminal record, and in "Sword Moving the Jianghu" he acted honestly according to player behavior, so she had no way to threaten him at all.

The old ox revealed a terrifying, troll-like grin: "By the way, do you want to know where the Weaver Girl you have a crush on went? You're just playing a high-level NPC anyway, at most you'd change companies, but she fell straight from an elite white-collar worker to a wage slave, and she's working as a high-level NPC now too..."

Aaron returned the smile.

Pop!

He struck at nothing; the old ox's image vanished, leaving only the sound of mocking laughter continuing.

Inside a cheap rented apartment, Ning Chen's hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and he removed the virtual helmet from his head with vacant eyes.

The next moment, he saw a golden meteor falling straight down from the sky, hitting his head with precision...

"Ah! It hurts!"
