Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 64 Wait a minute, can I log out?

Exit the game!
The field of vision remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.

Exit the game!
Exit the game!
Fang Ge silently repeated the name several times, but the game title screen that should have appeared did not arrive as expected.

—Bush's dove incident! Did I really quit the game and that's all?
Even though she had expected it, when it actually happened, Fang Ge's breathing became heavier, and a strong sense of suffocation arose spontaneously.

This feeling is awful...

water……

It's like drowning...

In the water, it's very peaceful, as if the water is embracing you.

But then, an instinct will surge within you.

An instinct that cannot be controlled.

It frantically awakened every nerve in Fang Ge's body, and then a question lingered in Fang Ge's mind.

Where is this place?
—God, list my personal information.

[Player: Fang Ge, attributes as follows:]

【Intelligence: 301】

【Mental Power: 303】

Muscle strength: 925

[Neural reaction speed: 933]

Cell viability: 901

Immunity: 965

Current reward points: 451 points

—Still a player? System, check the save file's current time.

[Save data in real time: 5 days, 5 hours, 29 minutes, and 27 seconds]

—Check the remaining nutrient solution volume and the remaining play time.

[Game pod nutrient solution remaining: 15.02L, enough for 15 days and 29 minutes of playtime.]

……

—Damn it, everything matches up. I call it the system and it responds. Even the electronic voice is the same… Where am I?

Fang Ge's intuition and wisdom told him that this was the real world.

But the feedback from the main god unmistakably told him that this was still the game world.

—Could it be... that the Supreme God would lie? I've never heard of such a setting.
"You son of a bitch, Pei Xi! I curse your ancestors for eight generations!"

Fang Ge took a huge risk and cursed viciously, but nothing happened, as if to indicate that this was indeed a game world.

—Let's try the light?
Fang Ge stared intently at the large ball of light, but ultimately gave up on the idea.

He wasn't afraid of dying, but he was afraid of dragging others down. As the captain, he bore the heavy responsibility of leading his team to victory in the final battle, and he also had to make everything "perfect".

Is it really possible for 【Infinite World】 to be made this realistic?

To be honest, with the dream acceleration technology advancing by leaps and bounds, Fang Ge wasn't sure what kind of results President Zhang could actually produce.

After all, the reason why virtual games cannot be indistinguishable from real ones is largely due to suppression from above, not because the technology is incapable of breaking through the limitations.

Even if the beta version of the infinite world is an "illegal product," the seamless reality that feels completely natural is still a bit too much.

Fang Ge could no longer treat Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha as ordinary NPCs. Out of a sense of morality, he deliberately used malicious behavior to destroy the image of "partners of justice" that he had previously created in Zhan Lan's mind.

To prevent the busty girl from engaging in any more "body double literature," Fang Ge didn't want to try any shortcuts to win her heart.

As a result, Zhan Lan actually broke away from her own "persona" and gained new insights into life. She still fell in love with him and took the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

Fang Ge isn't some kind of moral guardian, so if you actively pursue him, of course he'll see through your scumbag behavior and be completely innocent...

From any perspective, all of this precisely demonstrates that there truly is a vibrant soul within that beautiful body!
I can't tell the difference! I really can't tell the difference! I really don't believe deep AI can reach this level!

Fang Ge's extreme words undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention.

He was highly respected, and as soon as the team members saw that something had happened to him, they all turned their attention to him.

Not only did Zheng Zha stop his bodybuilder-like swagger, but even Zhang Jie looked at him with concern.

This man has become the absolute core and pillar of the Zhongzhou team, and there is no room for the slightest mistake.

Jin Xi didn't speak, but simply tightened her grip on Fang Ge's slender hand, indicating that she was always by his side. However, a large part of Fang Ge's immense mental pressure stemmed from her.

"Fang Ge, are you alright? Your mental state is very chaotic..."

Zhan Lan's keen intuition made her realize more clearly that her lover's condition was very strange.

The busty girl also came closer, and even reached out to touch Fang Ge's forehead.

—Girl, no matter how much mental stress I'm under, I can't possibly get a fever, right?
Feeling suffocated and almost devoured, Fang Ge helplessly pushed her hand away, gently shook his head, and uttered the most common lie men tell:
"I'm fine, I just thought of some things I'd overlooked before... Please allow me to think about them for a moment."

He closed his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously.

Waiting for that heavy, suffocating feeling to ease a little.

He then instructed, "Zheng Zha's training continues. Chu Xuan's research also continues. We need to finish everything today..."

After a pause, Fang Ge opened her eyes again, her gaze regaining the familiar look that everyone knew.

It was a kind of sharpness that charged forward relentlessly!
"Chu Xuan, we can be a little more lenient on matters of morality, but the logic must be sound... We don't kill people intentionally."

“…I understand.” Chu Xuan nodded slightly, as if he had realized something.

It seems everything is alright now...

Zhan Lan still had some worries, but Fang Ge's mental fluctuations had indeed subsided, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After all... Fang Ge didn't seem to want to talk about it.

Fang Ge leaned back on the sofa, the soft touch so real. He was surrounded by beautiful women, a faint fragrance wafting around his nose.

However, this could not alleviate the anxiety deep within him.

Fang Ge is not afraid of death, and at the same time, he is very world-weary, which perfectly meets the conditions for being invited into the Main God Space.

What made him anxious was not the high pressure or danger of the Main God Space, or the deadly enemies.

Fang Ge couldn't confirm whether this was a game, an [Infinite World Dimension], or a deflected state of the Primordial Infinite Terror.

None of this diminishes the fact that his previous performance was near perfect; he still possesses the confidence and determination to be invincible.

He is still himself, the world record holder, an invincible person who is one in a million.

What truly put pressure on Fang Ge was the heavy guilt and responsibility... because Fang Ge had genuinely hurt the person who loved him the most.

After several teleportations, Zheng Zha's cultivation was finally completed, and Chu Xuan also indicated that the research was basically finished, with only the results confirmation and transportation stage remaining.

Fang Ge then gave the order for everyone to go back to their rooms and rest.

Even Jinxi was no exception; only one person was invited to stay.

"Kid, you don't look good." Zhang Jie slapped his thigh, sat down opposite Fang Ge, and offered him a cigarette.

However, Fang Ge still rejected him.

"You kid..."

He let out a sneer, and Zhang Jie's expression became more serious.

"What do you need me to do?"

"You know, I have to be in my best and strongest condition to face every horror movie."

Fang Ge's lips curled into a wild smile.

Anxiety can impair rational judgment, and the impotent anxiety of the second-order grammar is meaningless.

Whether this is a game or reality, it doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference.

To exit the game, besides pressing the exit button, you can also die once or run out of nutrient solution.

Dying once is no big deal in the God Realm. As long as the Central Continent Team isn't wiped out, someone will always dig him out of his grave; Zheng Zha is best at that.

The answer is obvious: Fang Ge doesn't need to fear death; death will provide the answer.

"I need... a powerful suggestion! And to anchor my inner demons!"

This is the answer from speedrunners.

Get back into the zone and anchor your inner demons.

Known things are much easier to deal with than unknown things; a fourth-order Fang Ge will provide the answer with absolute brute force.

That insignificant inner demon? Once I reach level four, I'll personally... take you down!
He is destined to change everything, find everything, and break free from the cycle of reincarnation!
