VCRMM: Chapter 441

Thanks to Lin Mu’s help, Father and Mother Li successfully entered the game.

They had previously visited the experience store to keep their son company in the game, so they had a game account. They originally planned to buy two game helmets, but couldn’t get it. Then they had to give up.

The queue at the experience store was always very long, so Father and Mother Li took turns going since their son was in the hospital and couldn’t be left alone.

Now they didn’t plan to use their son’s gaming cabin either.

This was their son’s property. After unbinding the account, the data belonging to their child would be cleared. This was something the two of them couldn’t accept under any circumstances.

The two of them had originally planned to queue at the experience store, but Lin Mu was so curious that he took them back to the club.

The club had unused custom gaming cabins. Due to the club’s special nature, the cabins purchased from the gaming company were the type that could be used by multiple people without being tied to a single account, similar to those found in the experience stores.

They were several times more expensive than regular gaming cabins, but they were a better deal compared to the long-term difficulty in obtaining one.

As a big shot and behind the scenes owner of the club, Lin Mu naturally had the authority to handle these gaming cabins. Under his leadership, Father and Mother Li entered Starry Sky Age.

To be honest, Lin Mu didn’t completely believe Grumpy Little Rabbit’s words at first. However, he was forced to believe it after arriving at the Li family’s house at the address he was given and contacting the Li couple.

Moreover, since he already knew, Father Li consulted with the Starry Sky Age gaming company and told him the whole story.

Lin Mu accepted the explanation, but he was still puzzled and shocked.

Was the boy who asked him to contact the boy’s parents in real life really just an NPC? With the technology of the Starry Sky Age, could it really be done to this extent?

After Father and Mother Li arrived at the sea elf territory with mixed feelings of trepidation and confusion. They saw the boy standing alive in front of them and couldn’t help having some doubts in their hearts.

But he looked so much like their son. He seemed too lively, especially…

“Mom and Dad, I’m alive again!”

The boy stood before them, revealing an incredibly well-behaved and radiant smile. He was exactly as they remembered him.

Finally, Mother Li couldn’t hold back any longer. She hugged her son, whom she had lost and found again, and burst into tears.

Father Li’s condition was no better. He held his wife and child tightly like they were his most precious treasures, refusing to let go.

Grumpy Little Rabbit nestled in his parents’ arms, tears welling up in his eyes.

He didn’t know what was going on now.

On his deathbed, he struggled to express his desire to enter the gaming cabin to father and mother.

Then he was carried into the gaming cabin.

He entered Starry Sky Age as usual. He saw the beautiful land of the sea elf tribe and felt both happy and reluctant to leave.

Just as he was hurriedly preparing to say his last words, the gaming cabin detected an abnormality in his body. It issued an alarm and he was kicked offline.

What did this matter for someone who had been kicked offline countless times?

He persistently continued to log on, only to be kicked offline again and again. After countless back and forths, he found himself in a silvery-white space when he finally logged on again.

A system notification popped up.

After carefully reading the contents, Grumpy Little Rabbit was surprised to find he had triggered a hidden condition. This allowed him to generate an NPC in the game just like Xu Sili.

He agreed without even thinking about it.

Starry Sky Age was truly a game full of human torch!

Then he quickly finished speaking his last words and calmly faced death.

He was able to see Starry Sky Age one last time, say what he wanted to say to his parents and have ‘himself’ remain in Starry Sky Age after his death so that his parents could visit ‘him’ at any time.

He was already very content.

Then the silvery-white space dimmed.

However, after a long period of darkness, Grumpy Little Rabbit discovered that he was still conscious.

As he was filled with doubt, he heard a gentle voice calling to him. He followed the voice and opened his eyes.

He found himself in the sea elf territory, in the same place where he had been kicked offline. It was just like a normal login.

He could still think and had his past memories and emotions. Of course, he didn’t know if he had any memory loss. After all, how could he know if he didn’t remember?

But he was still shocked. Then there was ecstasy after the shock.

His game system interface had disappeared, but his backpack could still be summoned. However, once the items inside were taken out, the backpack slot became unusable.

Besides these, what he found most difficult to adjust to was probably the disappearance of the health and mana bars.

He would feel pain and bleed when he was injured. He also naturally knew water healing magic and healed himself instantly. However, after using water healing magic, he felt that something in his body had disappeared a bit.

He speculated that it must be magic power.

It seemed he had truly been reborn in the world of Starry Sky Age, or perhaps he was merely an NPC generated by Starry Sky Age based on his memory data.

Still, what did it matter?

He possessed the memories and emotions of the past. He was himself!

So Grumpy Little Rabbit tried every means to find Lin Mu, the leader who was closest to him, and asked Lin Mu to help contact his parents.

Now that he was being embraced by his parents, he felt only gratitude and contentment.

Lin Mu watched their family reunion and felt more complicated emotions than ever before.

He couldn’t treat this boy as an NPC, just like the NPCs in Starry Sky Age who seemed to be played by real people. Thus, he made a decision.

After Father and Mother Li calmed down, Lin Mu invited them to come to his home.

This was one of his properties on Bewatt Star and he had never invited anyone over.

He looked at the three people in front of him and said seriously, “You must never reveal this matter to anyone else.”

What was the difference between this situation and being reborn in the game? There might be a difference, but it would be incredibly appealing to some people who were dying or who were pursuing longevity.

This could bring huge trouble to Starry Sky Age.

After all, when an NPC was generated, the player died in the gaming cabin. This might be the player’s own choice, but would their families be as understanding as the Li couple?

Also, what if someone committed suicide in the gaming cabin just to become an NPC of Starry Sky Age?

“If Starry Sky Age is shut down due to such negative circumstances, you will never be able to meet in the game again.”

Lin Mu tried to make the situation sound as serious as possible.

Moreover, he was talking about something that was likely to happen. If Starry Sky Age was really forced to shut down, he would be the first to go crazy.

Over the years since the game’s launch, the energy, money and emotions he had invested in Starry Sky Age meant he couldn’t allow it to be shut down!

The couple nodded, their expressions serious. They indicated they would absolutely keep the secret.

“However, you don’t need to be too nervous.”

Lin Mu softened his tone. “When others ask, no matter who it is, you must all insist that the agreement was signed with the game company beforehand.”

“As long as we don’t say that he died in the game cabin, there won’t be a big problem.”

After all, there were examples like His Majesty Snow, except that His Majesty Snow didn’t have Xu Sili’s memories.

Perhaps it was because Xu Sili died unexpectedly, and the gaming cabin hadn’t developed yet when he died, so his consciousness couldn’t access it?

This wasn’t Lin Mu’s area of expertise, so he couldn’t analyze it either.

But even he couldn’t help being moved when he saw Grumpy Little Rabbit in front of him, which was no different from before!

Connecting one’s consciousness to the game after death and becoming an NPC was simply a genius invention. In a sense, it could be considered a second life for humans!

“I will contact Mr Chen later and bring up this issue with him.”

Moreover, this was entirely plausible.

It was the idea of post-mortem consciousness entering the game. As long as it was controllable rather than random, it wouldn’t cause any waves and could be offered as a customized service. This would definitely attract countless people.

Lin Mu felt that the game company behind Starry Sky Age was really unprofessional in many aspects. It was as if no one knew about such a sensitive setting before Grumpy Little Bunny triggered it.

He shook his head, suppressing this strange thought. He gave the Li family some more instructions before deciding not to disturb their family reunion any further.

Once Lin Mu contacted Mr Chen and explained his opinion, he realized that he actually made some assumptions.

It was because not everyone’s consciousness could access the game. The situation of Grumpy Little Rabbit being able to retain past memories was extremely rare.

Lin Mu was somewhat disappointed but he still believed there was no need to hide this matter. The truth would eventually come out. The more they tried to conceal it, the more trouble it would cause in the end.

“Mr Lin, I have noted down your comments. I will consult with my superiors and give you a satisfactory reply.”

In fact, this staff member surnamed Chen was from the crisis public relations department. Only a few days had passed and the company was still discussing how to handle the situation.

Just as Lin Mu guessed, no one knew that this setting existed in the game before Grumpy Little Rabbit’s situation occurred.

After a barrage of criticism from everyone, only Old Wang stepped forward and hesitantly indicated that he seemed to have been the one to add this setting.

As for why he forgot, it was probably because his memory had declined with age.

Faced with such a maddening answer, what else could they do but accept it? But it was indeed exciting news. No matter whether it was for the sake of game development or personal gain, who could resist such temptation?

Perhaps only the Xu brothers knew the truth in the entire company or even in the world.

Upon receiving the report from the staff member, they all went into the game to inquire about Xu Sili’s setting. The elemental elf later provided the answer.

“I did accept this boy’s soul. I like him very much. He is a good boy.”

Therefore, players could indeed come to the world of Starry Sky Age after death as long as the elemental elf was willing to accept them.

However, once players arrived in this world, they would become real living beings just like the native inhabitants. They would get injured, sick and die once their lifespan came to an end.

“That’s enough. Thank you, elemental elf!”

Xu Sili was overjoyed.

This also meant that when the Xu family members reached the end of their lives in reality, they could come into the world and stay by his side without having to experience another separation.

After all, the Xu family should have a high level of goodwill with the elemental elf. There was no reason not to accept them!

However, Xu Yuheng was a bit jealous.

“If I had known, I would’ve created a rare race character to play with…”

He couldn’t help feeling a bit envious thinking of his older brother’s dark dragon. Not only were the attributes stronger than his, but the lifespan was also much longer!

Fortunately, Xu Sili comforted him. “In the later stages of human development, the lifespan is actually similar to that of rare races. In addition, only those whose souls are in perfect harmony can obtain the rare race account.”

At this point, he couldn’t help saying.

“Big Brother’s luck is really good!”

Xu Fengqing, “……”

Ultimately, the game company regained control. After consulting with the Li couple, they concealed key information about Grumpy Little Rabbit’s case and reported it.

The news that a person’s consciousness could be integrated into the game after death caused a huge uproar as soon as it was reported.

Thanks to this great invention, Starry Sky Age officially transcended the realm of games and became a household name and blockbuster product. No matter how many people were envious and questioned it, no other game was able to shake its position.

Xu Yuheng’s vision of creating a second world for humanity had also become a possibility.

Many things happened afterward. For example, the overseas players went further down the path of, ‘it is so good!.’ After the other countries sought help from the government and gave up countless benefits, the Starry Sky Age gaming company relented.

However, due to the slow production speed of gaming devices, most people still couldn’t play the game.

But what the Xu family and all the players cared about most was that His Majesty Snow and Si Sheng were getting married!
