Chapter 393. Illusion Workshop
Mirage City
"Thud. Thud. Thud."
The sounds of typing became one. After a while, Apple Pie threw her keyboard down and rushed to Rylai's room without even putting on her slippers.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
"Rylai, open the door! If you don't open it, I'm going to use the [Unlock] skill!"
After the sound of an electric current, Rylai's door opened automatically.
At the same time, a fist-sized drone without a propeller flew past an xiaoguo and landed on the bookshelf next to her.
"Ah, thank you!"
Apple Pie thanked the robot assistant and climbed into Rylai's bed. Rylai was curled up in the corner, staring at the computer screen with a cup of coffee in her hands.
"Remember to close the door."
"I understand, I understand!"
Apple Pie understood that this was to prevent the servants or other people from seeing the super modern technology in the house. She closed the door with her foot.
More than a month had passed in the real world. As Rylai continued to study the part of the content provided by Char, and with the help of a few medieval handicraft experience stores under her family's name, Rylai had successfully created many things that were contrary to the current technology system-props from the magic civilization.
Although the effects of mageweaths and prefixes had been weakened by countless times and were far from being able to achieve military purposes, it was very convenient to create some small items that were easy to carry.
For example, the door lock and the lockpicking assistant he had just seen, and the portable warlock's eye that was curled up in the corner of the room and almost invisible.
Who would have thought that the latter would be made of some walnut wood skin, some laurel leaves, and a pile of sticky fish eyes?
The girl felt like a punk witch who knew a little about machinery. Fortunately, she didn't have much desire to show off and didn't cause a big mess with these things...
However, thinking about it, if she was that kind of person, Char probably wouldn't have given her these things.
"Why did you come to me? Are you suffering from withdrawal symptoms again?" Rylai asked.
"Of course not! How could she have withdrawal symptoms? I've been investigating the stinky thighs, and I suddenly found something interesting!"
"Eh? What..."
"A player found that his character was deleted! It's during the maintenance period!" Apple Pie said.
"Eh?"
Rylai was also interested.
"Hurry up and tell me."
"It's like this. The best friend of Huang Fushou's girlfriend fell into the pit two days ago..."
"Hey, hey, but the game pods didn't arrive in the same batch a long time ago..."
"Didn't the PS4 and NS I bought also eat dust for half a year? I've already bought it, why do you have to play it!"
"Oh, oh, you can continue..."
"After she created her character two days ago and pinched her face, she didn't play much. Today, she wanted to do a character imitation makeup and make a beginner's village-style dress. Then, she logged into the game and went to the character selection interface... Can you guess what happened? That interface is empty!"
"Empty?" Rylai covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yes, it's 'empty'!"
Apple Pie said with certainty.
Although players could not go online during the maintenance period, they could enter the character selection page. The character would sit in a small farmyard, drinking tea and resting at a stone table. At this time, one could experience it from a first-person perspective or from a God's perspective. If there was no character, this interface would not appear at all, and one would directly start creating...
That was why he had never heard of an 'empty character'.
"And then? Did she go to the official website to ask?" Rylai asked.
"No, she thought there was something wrong with her login method, so she logged in again, and this time it happened. She thought it was fun, so she said it as a bug, and I happened to see it... Do you think this has something to do with stinky thighs?" Apple Pie suddenly asked in a serious tone.
Rylai blinked, pursed her lips, and thought for a moment before nodding slowly.
"You said... Char warned you before..."
"Yes, he's very determined not to let me get involved in this matter..."
"So, he's worried that you'll be in danger, right?"
"Right, he should be worried about all of us."
Rylai was silent. After a while, just as Apple Pie was starting to get anxious, the girl suddenly raised her head and asked a question that was completely irrelevant.
"Moonlight... Has he been online?"
Apple Pie suddenly froze.
"That's right... It seemed like... It seems like you really haven't been online?"
How could a vengeful person like rippling moonlight not do an in-depth investigation when his reputation was completely ruined by stinky thighs? Where was he now?
He did not have to go online to avoid his enemies, but was he not active in the real world?
Did he not do sponsored partnerships?
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and a terrifying thought emerged from the bottom of her heart.
"Could it be... This was what Char was worried about? He's not worried about our game characters, but about our human bodies..."
"It's very possible."
"The contents of the game can interfere with reality, but the illusion workshop encrypted it to prevent it from being exposed... Char's existence was also bizarre, which meant that he was an even more secretive existence. He might have kept it a secret for self-protection, but if Moonlight was determined to dig deeper into this matter, it would inevitably touch on his secret... Perhaps it was because of this that he could not speak...
Rylai bit her finger and looked at her insignificant creations all over the house.
"I've decided!"
Apple Pie suddenly grabbed Rylai's hand. Rylai could not help but cry out, knocking over the half-cup of coffee.
Seeing that the coffee was about to spill on the blanket, Apple Pie quickly grabbed the cup and scooped the spilled coffee back.
Everything happened so quickly that Rylai did not even see it clearly. However, the movement was so fast that it left afterimages in her eyes.
"You..."
"You're not the only one who has become stronger! I'm a Thief!"
Apple Pie blinked at her.
With a click, the hour hand on the wall clock in the living room moved.
Everyone in the villa had already laid down, but a sneaky shadow had secretly jumped out of the window.
Feeling the night wind blowing on her face, Apple Pie raised her head and looked at the sky.
Not a single star could be seen in the sky, and even the moon was blocked by a hazy haze.
The night sky was not even very dark. Bright neon lights could be seen in the distance, illuminating the surroundings.
This made her even more certain that she was outside of the game.
"And my body has also become much heavier."
The girl pouted and tore a palm-sized piece of paper.
The moment the paper was torn apart, a faint fluorescent light lit up. Then, it split into four, four into eight, and even smaller pieces before completely dissipating.
Apple Pie felt as if she had lost more than ten pounds of weight when the almost undetectable amount of fine powder landed on her body.
"Sigh, even the worst light body technique in the game is better than this..."
Sighing like an old man, the girl jumped down lightly and landed in the grass in the yard from a blind spot, almost without making any sound.
Then, she jumped over the wall and quickly disappeared into the night.
