"That would be . I'm the owner... Anything else?"
"_"
--silence--
Bho Su and the rest looked at Chu Che in disbelief.
How could he be the owner?
They had imagined so old man with long white beards or soone at least over 700 years old.
So why were they seeing a youth similar in age to them?
They stared at Chu Che for a bit as if trying to confirm whether he was mocking them or not.
But his expression seed like he wasn't joking at all.
Was he really the owner?
And if so, then what exactly was his background?
Everyone's mind was in turmoil as they looked at Chu Che vigilantly.
"Mr. Chu, even though you say you're the owner, it sounds hard to believe. If I may be so bold, what exactly is your identity since you're the owner?"
Even though Bho Su asked, he didn't expect any answer from Chu Che.
He just wanted to collect as much information that he could before fleeing and sorting it out to determine which ones were true or not.
Chu Che's identity wasn't a secret, so he didn't feel the need to hide it.
"I'm the Young Town Lord here."
"You? Your na is Chu Che?"
"Correct!
This is my town."
.
Everyone stood back and took another glance at Chu Che.
It wasn't that Chu Che was famous or anything.
But in this world, before entering any new territory, it was best to do howork on those not to offend.
So they had heard about the young town lord called Chu Che.
All they knew was that his parents and grandfather had died, leaving him alone in this world.
That was the story that everyone knew of.
And at a young age, Chu Che took over as town lord, holding most of the town's powers in his hands.
That was all they knew about him.
They squinted their eyes and scrutinized him thoroughly.
He didn't seem to be lying.
Well, they could always investigate things later.
But if he genuinely were the Town Lord, then it would make sense that he knew the people who owned this place.
That's right.
Deep down, they still didn't believe that he was the owner of this place.
How could a small town lord afford masters who could create these sorts of array formations and box-like artifacts?
Sothing here wasn't adding up.
That's why they still kept their guards up.
Better to be safe than sorry.
.
"Gentlen, a simple way to know is to go under the last tab on your mbership cards."
Everyone looked at Chu Che suspiciously before doing as they were told.
What?
Bho Su's eyes almost fell out.
He was the owner?!!
There was a miniature portrait of him there and the words: 'Park Owner' by it.
No other information was shown.
Everyone felt a little ashad, as the information had been with them all along, yet they had been racking their brains while cultivating throughout the night on how to find out who the owner was.
Why did this simple move from Chu Che make them feel stupid?
Sigh...
They looked at him with complicated eyes.
How old was he to accomplish such a feat?
In their minds, Chu Che had now beco a mysterious entity.
No! He was a person that they had to investigate!
Bho Su looked at Chu Che while deep in thought.
If he was going to give out so much money hourly, it better be worth it.
"Mr. Chu, I don't have a problem playing this ga of yours, but don't you think this price of yours is a tad bit too high?"
Chu Che gazed at him calmly: "Oh? How so?"
Bho Su's mouth twitched.
Honestly, this guy had the ability to make him feel bloodthirsty.
What a skill!
He took another deep breath and smiled broadly.
"Mr. Chu, as you know, might have already guessed; we are disciples from the profound sect."
"Hmmm... I didn't know that."
"_"
Bho Su rolled his eyes heavenwards
What's with that overly surprised look?
Is he saying he was unaware that they were from the Profound Sect?
What a big pretender!
"Yes. We are indeed mbers of the Profound Sect who have traveled and seen many things in this world.
So forgive for doubting you, but what sort of entertainnt can you offer for that price per hour?
I don't see any arena here.
So what sort of ga could warrant such prices?"
Chu Che smiled mysteriously: "If this is your worry, then I can assure you, it's worth the price."
"What if it isn't?"
"Then you'll be reimbursed."
"Mr. Chu sure is confident. In that case, don't mind if we try."
"Be my guest."
"Hmph." Bho Su scoffed.
.
With that, Chu Che led them to the A.T.M machines and showed them how to deposit money into their mbership cards... Before leading them toward the gaming area.
"No! I died again!"
"Dammit! Why am I so unlucky?"
At first, Bho Su thought that these people were reminiscing about how they weren't able to kill so innocent person over the past few days or sothing due to their boredom and evilness.
But only after coming closer did they know that they were wrong.
They glanced at the computers and pointed at them with trembling fingers.
What sort of artifact was this that could trap people inside it?
Looking at it again, it didn't look like the Lower realm.
Wait! Was it another realm?
Did these people find a door to another realm?
They swiftly looked at the smiling Chu Che and felt their hairs standing up.
Who exactly was he?
Their muscles stiffened as fear took hold of them.
Were they still safe here?
They secretly reached for their escape talismans just in case.
F***!
If their master knew of this, he would probably move to this little town permanently.
Who didn't want to escape the lower realm?
This was a treasure that many sects would kill and die for, yet here it was, disguised within an unpopular town.
.
Listening to the words from those around them, did this an that if they had 3 good coins per four, they would get to spend ti in this other Realm?
Now, they felt that the price was too cheap.
What a joke!
This was a gateway to another realm!
Their jaws dropped wide open, and their bodies trembled with excitent and fear.
They were here to investigate, so it was only fitting that they go into the realm.
Yes.
Thinking like that, they wasted no more ti and hurriedly chose their own computers.
One of the guards was kind enough to explain so things to them.
For example, once they played the so-called ga, the card would be able to save their uncompleted gas and also show them their progress reports.
They had no idea what they ant, but they just nodded along.
For the computers, log-in required them to insert their mbership cards into the card slots on the machines.
And once the card was inserted, only the owner could remove the card from the computer.
With everything briefly explained, they quickly logged in with their cards.
Bho Su wore the weird head hat (virtual reality headgear) and was stunned silly.
Pap.
The entire screen ca to life, and a ssage popped up and showed him a mini him (picture of himself) and his present condition.
Even the injury on his left leg and his cultivation level was recorded just like how it was in his mbership card.
How did they know this?
Bho Su's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be that these artifacts (computers) had so ancient God's eye in them?
Luckily, it seems that only he could see his personal information and growth.
That's right.
For safety reasons, people could only watch how a player played and know about his/her ga characters, na, HP level, fighting style, and other stats.
But a custor's real-life condition or improvent was only visible to the player.
.
Yan Jin and Bihn Owo were also alard when they put on their virtual reality headsets.
The only thing they kept thinking about was how mysterious Mr. Chu was.
What exactly was his background?
Was he going to be a threat to their Sect?
They didn't think about it for too long because in the next mont, the hidden realm called [God of War: Ascension] had been activated.
The ga had begun!
