Chapter 228 Guess
......
Company headquarters, boss' office.
The secretary knocked on the door and walked in cautiously.
However, when he went in and took a look, he was stunned.
At this moment, the boss was holding a game controller and tapping on the computer screen.
Boss, are you playing...a game?
Seeing this, the secretary's eyes became more suspicious.
"Huh? It's you."
Hearing the noise behind him, the boss turned around to look at his secretary, then turned back to play games.
"Boss...Excuse me, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you see? Play games."
"Play...play games?"
Hearing this, the secretary froze in place.
The boss of Morede Company...is actually playing games?
The boss didn't pay attention to what he was thinking. He just focused on tapping the handle and controlling the character in the game with all his heart.
"It's from the last two centuries, and it took me a while to find it."
After killing a BOSS on the screen, the boss said:
"Well, to be honest, even though it's been two centuries, it's still fun to play with it now."
The secretary stood aside obediently. He didn't understand why his usually ruthless boss would do such a bizarre thing.
The boss talked to himself for a while, his hands moving non-stop, and he seemed to be really immersed in the game.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" the boss asked while operating the game character.
"It's like this..." the secretary answered obediently:
"According to the intelligence we have collected, in addition to the Scarlet Alliance, most of the hunting maniacs have also come to surround all the research institutes."
"Looking at their posture, they are ready to completely annihilate all the research institutes we have deployed outside."
"Ah."
The boss just responded, staring at the game screen as if he didn't care about anything.
Seeing this, the secretary naturally didn't dare to say anything. He just stood there, also staring at the screen.
“Although the gameplay of each game is different, as long as it is a level-breaking game, there will always be a so-called BOSS in it.”
While the boss was operating, he said to himself:
"All of these games are set up as a straight line without exception. Even if there are branching paths when completing tasks, they will eventually return to this straight line."
“This straight line is called the main line.”
【You are dead】
The next second, these four big words suddenly appeared on the game screen: the boss made a mistake in operation and was killed by the monster.
"Dead though."
"But it doesn't matter. You can revive infinitely and keep conquering."
The boss continued to talk to himself. His words seemed to be an explanation, but also seemed to be speculating about something.
"In the process of failing to complete a strategy, you will accumulate valuable experience, level up, and increase attributes until you defeat the boss and then move on to the next level."
Under the black mask, the boss narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a hidden light in his eyes.
"Boss...I don't quite understand what you mean." The secretary couldn't help it, and he asked carefully.
"Nothing." At this moment, the boss suddenly stopped what he was doing, put the game controller aside, and stared at the ten big words that appeared on the game screen:
[You have successfully killed the BOSS]
He sat there in silence, seemingly lost in thought.
The secretary did not dare to disturb him and just stood aside in silence.
At this time, the boss' lips moved slightly and uttered:
"The Scarlet Alliance Army, the Hunting Madmen, and other small forces. There are a lot of the Fourth Calamity mixed in among them, right?"
"Yes...so you knew about this, boss?" The secretary was surprised when he heard this.
After hearing the response, the boss was silent for a few seconds, then he let out a low laugh, which was mixed with many indescribable emotions.
He slowly leaned back in his chair, thinking about something.
"What are they doing now?"
“No action…it seems that they are prepared to play the role of a bystander.”
"They want to take advantage of our mutual defeat and reap the benefits?"
The boss suddenly sneered, and he slowly grasped the armrest. With a series of cracking sounds, the armrest was immediately crushed by him, turning into powder and slowly scattering on the ground.
"Go out, I need to think."
"Yes......"
The secretary nodded obediently and left the office very respectfully.
The boss was the only one left in the office. He stared blankly at the screen in front of him, muttering to himself:
“What should I do…?”
"With internal and external troubles, the chances of destruction are quite high."
"Those beasts are like wolves that smelled blood... No, they are hyenas."
"When both sides are losing, inserting as a third party has natural advantages."
"I originally wanted to slowly recover it...but other national forces simply didn't give me this opportunity."
"How can I do?"
At this moment, he seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, and if he took a wrong step he would be doomed.
"Gu Yeming......?"
Suddenly, he thought of such a name.
His mouth was slightly open, still staring at the system prompt that had not disappeared from the game screen.
There were no words for a long time.
......
Four hours later, night, base.
As night fell, the base was brightly lit. Soldiers gathered at the gate, applauding and cheering enthusiastically to welcome the triumphant return of Unit 108.
Senior military officers such as Zhang Haomiao, Li Zhizhi, and Huo Feng stood at the door. They looked at the No. 108 Troop not far away with different expressions, and Huo Feng had a wider smile on his face.
"Team 108, well done! We took care of all those bastards from the research institute!"
Many soldiers now looked at these former gangsters with new eyes, and they all shouted.
"It seems that Unit 108 is no longer the trouble maker in the base. They are indeed capable." Li Zhizhi nodded, his eyes revealing his recognition of Unit 108.
"Of course, Mr. Ye has made a great contribution to this." Huo Feng on the side agreed with a smile.
The soldiers of Unit 108 walked into the gate in high spirits and with light steps. This was the first time they felt such a warm welcome, and their faces were filled with the joy of victory.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhang Haomiao nodded towards Gu Yeming who was slowly walking towards him not far away, and a smile appeared on his face.
"You performed so well on your first mission, Commander Ye. Very good."
"Mr. Ye, Uncle Zhang and I watched it from beginning to end." Huo Feng said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be able to deal with so many monsters by yourself. Uncle Zhang thinks very highly of you."
"Hahaha, little brother, do you want to go for a drink together later? We'll welcome you back." Li Zhizhi invited warmly, his tone full of sincerity.
At this moment, other combat officers and some superiors present were looking at Gu Yeming with smiles, their eyes full of appreciation.
They had already seen the entire process of Gu Yeming's battle long before, so they would naturally not be stingy with their kindness towards such a powerful colleague.
"Well, thank you." Gu Yeming responded politely.
