Chapter 1363: 446. Disconnected Great Method_3
“Sorry, dear yer. There has been a fluctuation in yourwork, and the game connection has been disrupted. Please try reconnectingter.”
“Damn it!”
“My mom’s…”
“I’ve already taken off my pants, and now you’re dropping my connection!”
“Hello? Is this theworkmunicationpany? You motherf***ers, fix my damn inte, pronto!”
“It’s over, it’s over, it’s over, dropping the ball on my first task, I’m definitely going to get docked reputation points.”
...
yers from all over the “real” world, though not born on the same year, month, and day, felt their blood pressure skyrocket at the same time.
Winter Melon and Kelp, the two brothers, removed their helmets and hurriedly checked thework status in the studio, only to end uppletely baffled.
“There’s nothing wrong with thework, isn’t Strawberry Juice and the others still in the game?” Winter Melon brother touched his forehead, a look of confusion stered on his face.
Next to him, Kelp hit the game helmet hard and knocked on the studio’s router with his knuckles, trying to achieve awork reconnection with the most basic of methods.
But, unfortunately,
their game helmets, as if bewitched, just wouldn’t connect to thework no matter what.
The indicatormp signifyingwork disruption was always red, as conspicuous as the warning light on a blood pressure monitor.
“This is really strange, why do only the two of us have helmet issues?”
Winter Melon and Kelp had no choice but to knock on the Captain’s door and found Cucumber Slice, who was in the middle of a training session in the game.
Cucumber Slice went offline temporarily, took off his helmet, and together with the other two, checked thework again.
Now, the confusion managed to asexually reproduce, multiplying from two to three shares.
“Uh…” Cucumber Slice furrowed his brows tightly, hugged his arms, and stared at the router’swork indicatormp, deep in thought.
Could this really be the gamepany’s prepared response?
Force the yers participating in the plundering task offline, and only allow them back online after the task was over?
Cucumber Slice sneakily nced a few times at Winter Melon and Kelp, who were getting impatient and anxious, then looked at the other team members who were still ying the game in their seats, and became even more convinced of his theory.
Yeah, right!
This had to be the gamepany’s trick.
Cucumber Slice pped his hands together, drawing the attention of Winter Melon and Kelp:
“Do you guys have any of the Plundering Team members added as friends?”
“We do.”
“Yep, we do.”
Cucumber Slice said:
“Then why don’t you ask them about their situation?”
The Starry Sea game has a mobile app.
yers can still message their in-game friends using the app even when not ying the game.
But, if their friends in the game are inbat mode, they won’t receive messages, let alone respond.
Winter Melon and Kelp picked up their phones, looked at the app interface with dismay, and shook their heads helplessly.
“No good, Captain. They’re all inbat mode.”
“Look, look.”
Kelp handed his phone screen to Cucumber Slice to check.
As expected, all of them were “inbat.”
Cucumber Slice then asked:
“Do you have their contacts in reality?”
Winter Melon and Kelp shook their heads, with the former saying:
“Of course not. Doesn’t the game prohibit exchanging real-world contact info? Even if we wanted to send it, it would juste out as a bunch of gibberish.”
Oh, right.
To prevent fraud and ount theft, the game had abolished all means of exchanging real-world contact info within the game.
Two yers who have never met face-to-face and wish to connect offline can only do so through means outside the game.
Considering the length of time Winter Melon and Kelp had spent with the members of the Plundering Team, they didn’t seem to have moved their rtionship offline yet.
Therefore, at that moment, Winter Melon and Kelp found themselves on their own informational ind.
Apart from knowing that the two of them had been forced offline, they had no clue about the condition of the rest of their team.
