Chapter 29: So then, why are you an S Player?

The voice of "The rain's wait is very quiet, I like rain." remained clear, like a stream flowing in early spring.

Lu Ming watched, eyes vigilant; everything began from walking into the ward.

"Who exactly?" At the same time, Lu Ming could clearly feel an invisible aura.

"?" the girl smiled and said: "Illness..."

The scene remained the same; the only thing that could be the same point was the vision panel still there, the orange health bar still flickering before the eyes.

Obviously, still in the game.

Although I understand why I was sent here, all I can do is stay calm and protect myself.

"Interview?" the girl asked curiously, her loose hospital gown and clear smile giving the impression of a harmless creature.

But Lu Ming knew, the other party definitely wasn't that simple.

"Do you know the purpose of the Earth game?" Lu Ming asked directly.

If the other party wanted to harm me, they would definitely choose here; according to the manager 'Sa Dan's' absolute dominance displayed, the other party would have no need to go through any trouble.

"Hurry... let's continue the chess?" the girl conjured a chess board out of thin air, just like before, patted the bedside and said, "Sit down."

Lu Ming understood the other's meaning, but his intention was obvious; he could not refuse, hoping to learn something about the Earth game.

The endgame, more precisely a dead position, the board continued from the previous match; the other party violated rules with the queen, my side's pieces were basically all eaten, leaving only one queen and three soldiers; of course, if the other party continued to violate rules, I would surely lose.

"This seems... to have arrived?" the girl thought, then gestured for Lu Ming to make a move.

Lu Ming lowered his gaze, hesitated a moment, then picked up the black soldier piece and moved it one step.

As expected, it was eaten by the opponent's soldier at the edge of the far formation.

Now Lu Ming only had one queen and two soldiers left; his pupils contracted, his brows gradually furrowed.

The second soldier continued forward!

Without any suspense, its fate was the same as a soldier's; the opponent's soldiers had already penetrated the formation.

Lu Ming instead hesitated again, continued to control the last soldier forward; the girl let out a clear laugh, as if playing a game with special significance.

The last soldier, fallen!

Now it was White's turn; Lu Ming's eyes narrowed, he picked up the queen that had been set aside for a long time, and jumped straight toward the opponent's soldier.

With a pat, the soldiers scattered across the board were captured; Lu Ming picked up that soldier and placed his own queen.

The girl's smile vanished, turning grim: "Sacrificing so many pieces just to exchange for one soldier?"

"Hmm." Lu Ming remained expressionless.

His answer seemed to please the girl; she raised her head, eyes full of cold, reached out, and directly took Lu Ming's queen.

"Now then?" she said coldly: "Now what do you plan to exchange with? The king?"

Lu Ming didn't speak, angering the other and fulfilling his own purpose, he placed the soldier piece, spread his hands: "If it's only the king, then indeed there's nothing to exchange with; I lose."

Seeing Lu Ming back down, the girl's expression improved: "Dare to capture pieces, first... S Player, very courageous."

"Then... can a courageous S Player dare to ask about your identity?" Lu Ming probed, without hope; if the other wanted to reveal themselves, then he really couldn't do anything.

"It should be clear." the girl said.

Lu Ming's guess was correct; indeed, also a manager...

"Such makes one feel honored and startled." Lu Ming smiled, deliberately tinged with smugness: "To receive a private audience from the manager, how glorious and fortunate."

In previous matches, Lu Ming could generally understand; as the manager's contemptuous attitude toward players, hoping to leave the game, but unable to say it directly; from the manager 'Sa Dan's' reaction, it seems they dislike such words.

Still, perseverance, but not necessarily enough to oppose an unknown being of another level; like an egg striking a stone, the outcome is obvious.

"As an S Player..." the girl paused: "Your thoughts definitely stop here, right?"

"Here..." Lu Ming glanced around with his peripheral vision, understood its meaning: "Referring to the game?"

The girl slightly raised the corners of her mouth: "So then, why are you an S Player?"

"So you understand, is there a way to leave the game?" Lu Ming showed no joy, no surprise, only observed the other's tone and expression more carefully.

The girl leaned in, scrutinizing Lu Ming, as if seeing through a skin bag straight to the soul; after a long while, she said: "If the manager hears this, later it won't be so good."

The other didn't directly deny, so it's a bluff; the manager 'Sa Dan' also said there's no way to leave the game, obviously possible, but Lu Ming would also foolishly think the other would let him leave the game easily.

"What conditions to leave the game?" Lu Ming asked: "For example, clearing all instances with an S rating?"

The conditions to achieve, Lu Ming could only think of, like a company selecting employees where the capable are prioritized; but achieving all S is easier said than done.

"In this instance, 1745 players achieved an S rating; the difficulty of this instance will increase each time, so on and so forth, if the rating can always reach S..."

"All S, does that include new instances as well?"

Lu Ming suddenly realized a serious problem; if the rating also counts for new instances, then out of 500,000, only I could leave the game?

The girl looked, eyes flat: "Survival of the fittest, elimination of the weak; since it has become that only hope, why bother with those eliminated?"

I greatly look forward to your future performance, and also look forward to one day becoming a member of.

Become a member??

Lu Ming became increasingly curious what exactly, a more advanced alien civilization than the kind?

Knowing why, I feel a bit amused; out of 500,000, only I hope to leave the game, the rest, everything done is in vain.

No matter what you do, there's no way to leave the game; like lying flat awaiting the Main God Space, you can live on; if the designated manager is pleased, they will erase all players.

If that's the case, what's the meaning of entering?

Lu Ming suddenly understood those old players willing to do instances; because they saw hope, so they linger in the Main God Space, only doing an instance when they have enough points; and those who still hold hope, when they realize everything they've done is useless, will they also fall?

Only Lu Ming knows; in such a situation, he sees a glimmer of hope.
