The smile on Benjamin's face broadened and beca even more cordial.
Clearly, he was very satisfied with John's response.
This young man was neither arrogant nor greedy.
In this restless age, such a steady young person was quite rare.
Benjamin pondered for a mont, then said gravely, "That's not quite true. After all, from what I understand, the situation was very critical at the ti. Jumping into the water to save soone was a risk to your own life. Yet you didn't hesitate to risk your own safety to save my daughter's life. This quality is quite comndable."
"After rescuing her, you left the scene without making a fuss, which made it quite difficult for us to find you." Mayor Daniel added with a laugh, "This is what the old saying refers to as 'doing good deeds without leaving a na.'"
Benjamin nodded profoundly, then added, "You saved my daughter's life, and you've beco our family's savior. We must repay you adequately."
John quickly waved his hand in denial, bashfully saying, "There's no need for all this. I simply did what I thought was right. You're making feel uncomfortable, as if I'm leveraging my favor for so benefits."
John's cheeky comnt made the two big shots burst into laughter.
As Benjamin prepared another round of tea, he nonchalantly ntioned, "You might not care, but we Taylors take it very seriously. My little girl is ready to give you all her pocket money as a reward for saving her."
As he spoke, Benjamin winked at John, chuckling, "That amounts to millions, young man. Aren't you tempted?"
John's face remained unchanged, still smiling as he sipped his tea.
In a casual tone, Benjamin continued, "But I reckon millions might not be that attractive to you, considering your standing and prowess in Godslayer. It must be a piece of cake for you to earn that much money in the ga."
"As for how exactly we'll thank you, I'll leave it to my wife and daughter to figure out. I wash my hands of it. Today, I invited you over to discuss sothing else."
John's smile slowly faded, his expression gradually becoming serious. He knew it was finally ti for the main topic.
Benjamin turned his gaze to Mayor Daniel Roberts, who had been silent and smiling the whole ti, inviting him to broach the subject.
After a mont of thought, Daniel suddenly asked, "John, what's your take on the ga Godslayer?"
John was shocked but kept a puzzled face, "I don't understand what you an, Mayor Daniel. Godslayer is just a fun ga to play. Is there sothing unusual?"
Daniel sported a grin, chiding, "Good one, lad. Still playing coy with us? I don't believe you haven't sensed the hidden aning behind Godslayer."
John blinked at them, feigning ignorance, "What are you two big shots trying to say? I'm completely lost here."
He was determined to keep his knowledge about Godslayer's mirroring of the real world to himself.
After all, if the governnts around the world were intentionally keeping it under wraps, they obviously didn't want the public to find out too soon.
Whoever exposed this first would beco the enemy of all.
It was best to let these two big shots spill the beans.
Daniel shook his head in amusent, exchanging a knowing glance with Benjamin.
"Still playing hard to get, huh... Fine, I'll lay it out for you. Godslayer isn't just a ga. It represents an entire world, a space more vast than our reality. Speaking bluntly, it's an alternate universe..."
Having said this, Daniel paused, then added casually, "The governnts of various countries are fully aware of this, keeping it hushed up from the general public. But in front of you, it's probably not a big secret, right?"
John fell silent, a peculiar glint flickering in his lowered eyes.
Without waiting for John's reply, Daniel continued on his own accord, "This all started three years ago..."
"Three years ago, a massive solar storm erupted suddenly, catching the entire planet off guard. All the space stations in orbit were severely damaged due to this solar storm."
"After the solar storm subsided, large rifts of varying sizes were discovered globally. However, these rifts were not on the ground, but instead thousands of ters above the surface of the Earth," Daniel Roberts continued.
"Our scientific tools couldn't explain how these rifts were ford. The material sampled from the rifts was found to be non-terrestrial, even non-universal."
"So, a hypothesis was proposed. The other side of these rifts might be a parallel universe entirely separate from our world."
"Governnts around the world held urgent etings and decided to set up a large company to explore and study these rifts through comrcial developnt."
John smirked wryly, "Let guess, this 'large company' is the developer behind the Godslayer ga, right?"
Daniel Roberts nodded, his expression turning serious.
"Correct. Although it's supposedly a comrcial endeavor, the company is composed entirely of the most elite physicists and biologists from around the world. After a year of research, they were almost certain that the rifts had opened a passageway to another dinsion."
"As the research progressed, the scientists discovered sothing quite terrifying. The space on both sides of the rifts seed to be rging."
"If the rging continued, the two spaces would soon be completely fused."
"Nobody knows what the space on the other side of the rift looks like. Our equipnt and personnel can't cross the rifts to directly enter the alternate space."
The mayor's stern voice gradually began to trail off, but his tale continued, "The fusion of two worlds is entirely unknown to humanity. The arrival of an alternate world could be benevolent or devastating. All governnts understood that we couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing."
"Further research revealed that the material seeping from the rifts could resonate with the human brain."
"In other words, this material could be used to connect with the human mind, allowing people to project their consciousness into the alternate world behind the rifts."
"And so, the ga Godslayer was born..."
John nodded. It all made sense now. This was the reason behind the creation of Godslayer.
He had wondered why Godslayer could capture nearly 90% of the global gaming market share in such a short ti, essentially creating a monopoly, with no interference from governnts.
Even common business laws like antitrust didn't seem to apply to Godslayer.
Now, it was clear that the rapid rise of Godslayer was actually driven by international governnts.
John had had so suspicions, and Daniel Roberts's revelations had confird them.
"So... why are you telling all this?" John lifted his eyes, gazing silently at the two n.
Benjamin and Daniel Roberts exchanged glances, both giving a bitter smile.
"Through the ntal link, we can only replicate a projection of ourselves in the alternate world. Everything in Godslayer is managed automatically by AI systems made from the material leaking from the rifts. Humans can't interfere."
"So our current understanding of the Godslayer Continent is almost entirely based on official players who've ventured into it," Daniel continued.
"We only know it's a world with an incredibly intricate and vast cosmology, populated by countless races, each with their own belief systems. There are various forms of extraordinary abilities, and even the existence of deities."
"We don't know how these deities would perceive us humans once the two worlds rge. If they are benevolent, then all is well. But what if they bear malice towards us?"
"Our current human weaponry can barely manage low-level occupiers, let alone harm these deities. If they were to strike us, we'd be nothing but sitting ducks."
"So now, we're in urgent need to cultivate our own occupation specialists, as only magic can defeat magic..."
"We also need a deeper understanding of the Godslayer Continent, and when it cos to knowledge about the Godslayer Continent, I doubt anyone knows it better than you..."
Daniel looked at John intently, his eyes filled with hopeful light.
John fell silent once again, without uttering a word for a long while.
