Chapter 764 -15 Chain Reaction
It was still the ‘apartment room’, and Jason hadn’t changed his residence.
Before Jason ‘woke up’, ‘the contact’ Pers had already stood outside the door beforehand.
Although Jason appeared ‘very harmless’, as a competent ‘contact’, Pers knew exactly what to do, after all, most who didn’t know are already dead.
"Contestant Jason, you have five days of rest.”
"The final match for Zone F will take place in five days, and since you’ve become a successful contestant in the preliminary final, not only can you enjoy ‘nutritional meals’ for free, but you can also get some furniture for free, including but not limited to beds, sofas, and so on.”
"However, it is only free for the first time, after that, you will still need to spend points.”
...
Pers explained.
Jason nodded.
Watching Jason nod, Pers also nodded along.
Even though he hadn’t heard Jason speak until now, Pers didn’t feel uncomfortable at all.
On the contrary, he quite liked this mode of interaction.
A quiet ‘Brutalizer’ was always better than a hot-tempered ‘Brutalizer’, right?
"You know, if you need anything, just use the call device.”
"I’m available 24 hours.”
Jason’s cooperation had finally made Pers, who had been agitated and restless for the past three days, breathe a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t imagine, already nearly suffocating from the pressure, if he met a hot-tempered Jason, what would that look like?
He would probably collapse, right?
But, even now, without collapsing.
It was close.
Every time he thought about his unauthorized deletion of the video recording of his active conversation with Jason, Pers felt uneasy.
It’ll be fine!
It definitely will be!
Everything will pass peacefully!
Pers closed the ‘door’ securely and turned to walk towards the corridor outside.
As a ‘contact’, Pers’s room was in the corridor outside, on the left-hand side.
A one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, not large, but fully functional.
Aside from the large monitor on the wall directly facing his room that displayed the surveillance video of Jason, the room had a faint sense of warmth, whether it was the cactus on the table or the cat’s nest beside the sofa, all attested to this.
He first glanced at the monitor.

Upon discovering that Jason had only turned on the live broadcast on TV and there was nothing unusual, Pers grabbed the watering can and spritzed the cactus.
"Little cactus, do you think I did the right thing?”
"It must be, right?”
"After all, I just want to protect myself.”
Pers spoke to the cactus while holding the watering can.
A moment later, he crouched in front of the cat’s nest.
It was a cartoon shark-shaped cat nest, in a semi-enclosed style, where the entrance was the grown shark’s mouth, with teeth made of soft cloth sewn together, and a string hanging down with a cotton ball at the end as a fluffy plaything.
‘This cat nest not only provides softness for cats but also gives them a greater sense of security, which is especially suitable for newly brought-home felines.’
That’s what the pet store salesman told him three years ago.
And it was for that very reason he bought the cat nest.
In Pers’s plan, he wanted to prepare the cat nest, litter box, scoop, cat food, and so on first, and then go choose a kitten that he fancied, connected with, and that was very clingy.
Unfortunately…
A week later, he didn’t pass the ‘game’ planner exam, but instead, he was recruited by the ‘contact’ organization with outstanding results.
After 22 weeks of training and adaptation, he became a ‘contact’.
For this, Pers wasn’t dismayed.
Planner was good, ‘contact’ was also good.
The job was stable, with six months paid vacation a year, double pay during normal working hours, internal matchmaking events as one got older, a large birth bonus from the organization for having children, and free school recommendations from primary school straight up to university.
However, one thing made Pers feel regretful.
‘Contacts’ couldn’t keep cats.
Or more accurately, ‘contacts’ couldn’t keep pets.
Pers knew very well.
This was because the organization was worried about infiltration or pets being used to create trouble.
So, in the end, Pers never got his own cat, only a cat nest.
But sometimes, just having a cat nest is enough.
Pers pretended he had a cat.
Right in the midst of the cat nest.
He imagined that just by lifting his hand he could touch the soft fur of the cat, of course, there would be some shedding, but that’s not important, the cat I keep is a special breed that doesn’t require maintenance.
Like before, Pers planned to pet his own cat.
But just as he lifted his hand and reached in, the ‘contact’s’ contented expression changed abruptly.
His face stiffened as he drew a note from the cat’s nest.
Written on the note in bold red ink was the message—
I know what you did!
…
In the eyes of ‘The Planner’, what kind of role was Pers?
Jason pondered this question as he watched the live broadcast about ‘Galen’ on TV.
Leaving the ‘game site’ and returning to his room, Jason took about more than 20 minutes.
In such a short amount of time, the latter half of the preliminary final naturally couldn’t be concluded.
In fact, to a certain extent, the preliminary final was just the real beginning.
Only now, the protagonist had shifted from Jason to Galen.
And moreover, the response was good.
Jason deduced this from the dense barrage of comments.
"What a formidable Golden Lamb!”
"Where is this a lamb? Clearly, it’s a big bad wolf!”
"And aren’t those files saying the Golden Lamb used to be a lumberjack just joking?”
