There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game Chapter 105: Chapter 101: The Affiliated High School Inciden

Xu Shuo's expression was indifferent, revealing no hint of what he was thinking, and he casually said, "It sounds like becoming a student only has advantages and no disadvantages for ?"

Recovering from her sadness, Hong Rao couldn't muster a smile, nodded her head, and said, "Actually, although Script Space really likes to squeeze every minute out of newcors, the ones who receive the tightest protection are precisely the newbies.

"Not to ntion the nanny-level newbie tutorial, in level one scripts, you'll hardly encounter any death events.

"Even if you accidentally die in the ga, you can be revived after the ga ends!"

That is to say, players who are still at level one are at the golden stage where they can let loose and wildly enjoy themselves without any reservations!

No need to sneak around, just wildly level up!

Do whatever you dare to do, and take whatever you want boldly!

So, that photographer he smothered to death isn't really dead? — Xu Shuo suddenly rembered this.

"What are the consequences of failing a task?" Xu Shuo imdiately asked.

"There are no consequences for level one players, at most you lose the reward," said Hong Rao while resting her chin on her hand, speaking languidly: "But once you're promoted to level two, a task failure will lead you into a penalty ga where dying inside ans real death. Penalty gas are sowhat different from scripted murder gas; all sorts of gas are available, and they might even play 'Red Light, Green Light' with you."

Yawning, Hong Rao simply went ahead and also told him about the chanics of the penalty ga.

Hearing this, Xu Shuo couldn't help but laugh lightly: "Just like leeks."

In the newbie phase, they protect you, cherish you, squeeze out all your value, and then discard you like a worn-out shoe, left to fend for yourself.

So, what exactly does Script Space want to extract from them?

Hearing this, Hong Rao glanced over and saw his slightly contemplative eyes looking back; she smiled faintly and said, "Don't overthink it. What use do you have for this information now, and you can't leave anyway.

"How about it, do you want to give in? After becoming my student, I can also tell you a lot more information~"

"Let think about it," Xu Shuo calmly said.

"What's there to think about?" Hong Rao sighed and said: "The ntor-student system is entirely designed to escort you newbies; it's all benefits without any harm."

"I don't like being in a team," Xu Shuo responded, his expression still unwavering.

Upon hearing this, Hong Rao opened her mouth as if she wanted to say more, but at that mont, a piercing bell rang out in the blank space.

Ding-ding-ding—

The penetrating sound arose from all directions.

This was not a sound from Script Space.

Xu Shuo's gaze shifted, and he stood up, saying, "Ti's up, I need to leave."

"Alright, think about it well."

Hong Rao's expression was slightly odd, and she didn't press any further. She picked up her two cups of tea but didn't retract the sofa she had put out; with a twirl of her figure, she disappeared in a flash of light.

Xu Shuo glanced at the sofa, hearing the continuous ringing from outside, but he first packed up the system panel and left in a single thought.

…

…

In the old rental apartnt.

Xu Shuo opened his eyes, picked up his phone from the peeling sofa, turned off the alarm clock, and then got up and headed directly to the entryway.

He still had to go to work, and to prevent himself from unknowingly indulging in so crappy forum again, Xu Shuo had set an alarm specially.

After getting up in the morning, he had already prepared his itinerary; now, as soon as the alarm rang, he directly picked up the laptop at the entryway and left, the whole routine seamless!

Xu Shuo arrived at the studio on the twenty-third floor today, feeling refreshed and ready to imrse himself fully in work—earn money, earn soul!

Although Script Space had directly impacted his life safety in so way, Xu Shuo believed that real-life matters were still more important.

Because that thing couldn't be exchanged for money.

However, before getting down to work, Xu Shuo cautiously glanced at the last page of the Player's Handbook. The ga countdown had unexpectedly switched to a forty-eight-hour system.

So far, he had cleared three scripts, and the last two weren't even at normal levels and now had collapsed.

Xu Shuo looked at his clean "Perford Scripts" list—his face betraying no thoughts—and shut it down—getting distracted at work was really inappropriate!

With so much ti to spare, it was better to push the studio's new projects forward early!

In the studio, the production of ga software was being followed up by Li Ziwen; the operational mode of the offline ga store was also being prepared by Li Ziwen; and finally, the various docunts regarding ga launches and store openings were being handled by Li Ziwen in contact with public relations.

After Xu Shuo finished modifying the new scripts "ntal Hospital" and "Thirteen Girls," he checked the recent operations of the studio and realized that Li Ziwen seed to be overly busy.

"Boss, should we hire more people?" Li Ziwen, adjusting his glasses, looked at him with a calm expression.

"Hmm..." Xu Shuo looked at his dark circles that were almost catching up to his own and said, "The ga store in Heiyu District will be completed and go online by the end of the month. Before that, you should organize an operations team first. I'll handle the app launch matters."

"You want to transfer to offline?" Li Ziwen's expression showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this.

Given his expertise and capabilities, taking charge of online operations would be the most suitable direction for him.

"No, it's just that Pei Sheng wouldn't handle it well." Xu Shuo said.

"...Understood."

Pei Sheng was only suitable for running errands and wasn't quite fit for managent. It wasn't a matter of competence, but rather his ntality and the way he handled things.

In Xu Shuo's view, he was still like a rich young master going through a rebellious phase.

"What's that? I think I heard you badmouthing !" Pei Sheng, who had just returned from being busy outside, ca in covered in dust and furiously said, "I'm out there conquering worlds for you, and you dare to undermine !"

"Is your task accomplished?" Xu Shuo, feeling drained, rubbed his forehead and didn't engage with him.

"With in charge, the deal is definitely clinched! Those several companies have already agreed to bring traffic to Ga City; it's just that the cost is a bit expensive."

After Pei Sheng boasted, slapping his chest, his eyes darted around and he looked at Xu Shuo with a burning gaze, saying, "But, boss, when I was out running errands today, I also heard sothing else related to your sister Xi!"

Xu Shuo rembered that he didn't have a sister, only an older brother.

Then the two looked at each other quietly.

Pei Sheng waited a long ti without getting a response and, feeling disappointed, took the initiative to say, "Sothing happened yesterday evening at the Affiliated High School. It's said that a senior student under too much pressure committed suicide by jumping off a building."

"I know, I saw the news this morning." Xu Shuo said expressionlessly.

"But..." Pei Sheng, however, changed his tone and leaned in close to whisper eerily, "The rumors in my circle say that it wasn't suicide, but homicide! And both the school and the police covered it up!"

The Normal University Affiliated High School is a prominent institution within the province and even the country, so such an incident attracted considerable external attention.

Pei Sheng had a wide network and obtaining different kinds of information was naturally not hard for him.

Upon hearing this, Xu Shuo cast a nonchalant glance at him, "What does that have to do with you, did you commit the murder?"

Pei Sheng was taken aback, muttering, "Forget it if you're not interested, why falsely accuse soone of wrongdoings, I was just concerned about your sister Xi studying there..."

"Does my sister need your concern? After lunch, hurry up and go supervise the work!"

"Tsk..."
