Chapter 763

~5 min read 860 words

And at the same time, inside the Site-19 site, Bai Xuan was drinking tea with someone who shouldn't have appeared in this game.

Gray hair and purple eyes, it was Herta.

"Truly rare."

"Emanator of the 'Erudition' Aeon, 83rd seat of the 'Genius Society', the true owner of the 'Herta' space station, a great scientist with extraordinary wisdom but no empathy, a perfect woman, the genius of the Blue Star... Ms. Herta."

"Actually not focusing on research, but entertaining in the 'Foundation Grand Game'..."

"This is truly big news."

Bai Xuan sat behind the site director's desk, making Herta completely unable to figure out what role he was playing.

But she didn't care about these either.

Compared to the role Bai Xuan played in this game, Herta was more concerned about the dishes Bai Xuan reported; she nodded at each one, and after finishing, she still felt a bit unfulfilled~.

"I love hearing this, give me another ten million credits worth-."

"This is not for sale."

"Tch~ but you got one thing wrong, I'm not here to 'Foundation Grand Game' for entertainment."

"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

"I'm just worried that the young lady who hasn't seen much of the world will be easily taken down by some sinful man."

"Sinful man? Is there such a person here?"

"Hehe."

After teasing each other for a while, the office returned to silence.

Bai Xuan sat in the office chair, one cup of tea finished, another cup added, leisurely and carefree, seemingly here to rest in the game, not to play.

Herta opened the "Foundation Grand Game" forum, intending to see how the difficulty experience of the "SCP-049" file was.

The forum was a mess, with all kinds of topics, some forming squads, some sharing game intelligence, some discussing the three major anomaly theories.

Of course, the most content was still discussing how to unlock SCP files.

Herta scanned a few pages roughly, but was a bit disappointed—even when discussing SCPs, most posts were complaining about the unreasonable difficulty of the levels:

Some complained about no beginner guidance, entering the "Foundation Grand Game" in a daze, even subsequent operations were stumbling;

Some complained about no guidance for missions, after entering the level, they didn't know what to do at all;

Some complained that the SCP coordinates were not displayed on the map, and the map had no boundaries; they drove to the next city and didn't know where the SCP was;

Others complained about the SCP's near-perverted first-encounter kill mechanism, often doing nothing, and being wiped out by the other party directly.

"Is this game actually this hard?" Herta muttered.

But thinking about it carefully, it's easy to understand; this is a game that is no different from the real world, and full-immersion games have always been known for being hardcore and niche.

What's more, the object of this full immersion was the Foundation and SCPs, these ancient existences that hadn't been back for long.

People had strong curiosity about it, but in reality, they only had a very vague impression of what the Foundation actually was.

—Don't know the specific structure, don't know the department distribution, don't know the rules and regulations.

In this situation, playing the "Foundation Grand Game", wanting not to be humiliated,

Either honestly play the SCPs that have already been exposed,

Or bet on your own luck, happening to run into an SCP with low difficulty.

So which category is Asta in?

Are the difficulties of "SCP-096" and "SCP-049" both very low?

Thinking this way, Herta suddenly saw a post related to "SCP-049".

【Subject: Is "SCP-049" buggy?】

【The OP thinks their luck is good; as soon as they started, they saw a group of zombies, and after careful observation, they found the "Plague Doctor" on the steps not far away.】

【But strangely, that group of zombies didn't show aggressive intent towards them, but instead kept trying to attack the OP and other agents.】

【Based on the rule of capturing the bandits, capturing the king first, the OP successfully sneaked to the side of the "Plague Doctor" and held a pistol to his forehead.】

【But damn...】

【"Plague Doctor" was yelling about the pestilence at the time, raised his hand to grab the OP, the OP fired several shots with no effect, and then was killed by the other party in seconds.】

【The OP is very sure, the "Plague Doctor" just touched the OP, and the OP died; is this really not a bug?】

【#1】

【The OP still hasn't seen enough; suggest experiencing "SCP-173", what is being neck-snapped if you look away】

【#2】

【The OP still hasn't read enough SCP files; the courage to face an SCP alone, in reality, that's really not knowing how to write the word "death"】

【#3】

【Not sure if it's a bug, haven't played the 049 file, but took a look, it's Euclid-class... please respect the Foundation's rating, although it's not Keter, this level isn't very safe either】

【#4】

【According to the OP's description, I have a guess; touch-to-kill is the anomalous aspect of "SCP-049", combined with the previous zombies, maybe after the OP died, they immediately respawned as a zombie】

【#5】
