Chapter 469 374 Tusk Pig
An enraged Wang Zihan roared loudly, swooping to tackle Zhang Jiahao to the ground.
Three seconds later, Zhang Jiahao counterattacked and subdued Wang Zihan.
He clutched Wang Zihan's hands behind his back, pinning him down on the lawn, his tone filled with concern—
"Zi Han, calm down. Your emotions seem a bit unstable. Were you frightened by the tunnel earlier?"
"I, I did not... The one with the issue... clearly, it's you, right?"
As Wang Zihan spoke, he suddenly burst into tears.
"What's wrong, Zi Han?"
"You've... dislocated my hand."
"Ah... sorry! I'll fix it right away."
"Anyway, let's just let him calm down for now."
Xu Lingyi said and looked towards Fang You, "By the way, Fang You, can you use any of your electronic devices?"
Xu Lingyi shook his head, "I truly didn't expect this. There's such a strong super magnetic field interference here that my electronic devices felt like they burned out instantly."
"However, it seems like the wristband wasn't affected for now."
"But even if it didn't burn, it's useless if it can't be turned on, right..."
Fang You was checking his wristband when he suddenly noticed an emergency call notification on the screen..
An emergency call?
After Fang You connected the emergency call, a familiar voice came from the other end, "Hello? Can you hear me, President You? I am Song Hang!"
"I can hear you."
Fang You exclaimed in surprise, "How did you manage to get access?"
"Well... it's complicated to explain. I see from the bracelet's positioning that you are already in the coordinates. What's the situation now? Are you injured, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Uncle! You're really useful, Uncle! I didn't expect you'd still be able to contact us."@@novelbin@@
Xia Nuo's voice came through the earpiece. Hearing Xia Nuo's voice, Song Hang was immediately taken aback:
"Wait, Nuo Nuo? You... why are you there too? Wasn't President You acting alone?"
"It's a bit hard to explain... Anyway, we've entered a place similar to a man-made ecological park."
Fang You said, "It's just like the world of 'Paru Ultra' that we've been playing recently."
"Ah... I see."
Song Hang said, "This ecological park should correspond to the game world they created."
"To create such a large ecological park just for a game?"
Xia Nuo puzzled, "Isn't that a bit odd? Won't it be a loss?"
Song Hang replied, "It's easy to design models for regular games, but the design philosophy for virtual reality games is different. Pure engine modeling would distinctly lose the realism of the virtual reality world."
Song Hang explained, "If you encounter an air wall in that real sensory world, wouldn't the experience be greatly diminished?"
"I see."
Xia Nuo nodded, "I somewhat understand."
Xu Lingyi's voice then rang out:
"But if each virtual reality game needs a real ecological park, wouldn't it be difficult to scale virtual reality games?"
"In theory, yes, but as technology advances, the required scale should be able to decrease."
Song Hang said, "Think about how large electronic computers started out, and now they've become so small that they enter every household, even onto watches, right?"
"That's true..."
Xu Lingyi paused, then continued, "Speaking of which, are you the one You You mentioned, the one who was previously dismissed by Star Sea Technology?"
"To directly control wristband emergency call privileges, the rank must be very high. Your privileges at Star Sea Technology must have been at least M3, between M3 and M4, right?"
"Uncle actually had M3!"
Xia Nuo, well-versed in human resource theories, knew what Xu Lingyi meant by M3 and M4. M3 generally represents a senior manager, essentially the core person in charge of a single project, while M4 is director or core director level, controlling a whole field of company development.
"Actually not, I just had M1, just the leader of the corresponding technical group," Song Hang said.
"Impossible… with your permissions, you're definitely a senior core member, how could you just be a group leader—"
"Ahahaha, okay, let's not talk about me right now, it's all many years ago! Let's talk about you guys! You've seen the ecological park and satisfied your curiosity, so can you come out now?"
"Ah, it's still too early for that, we just got in and haven't started exploring yet."
Xia Nuo said, "Like the TV series 'Westworld' I watched before, their secret lab base, it's always hidden in the lower layer of the world, we need to make sure there's nothing evil inside before we leave, right?"
"Hey! Nuo Nuo! Don't keep being stubborn, Uncle is warning you—if you continue to venture further, you really will be discovered by the people of Star Sea Technology—"
Song Hang spoke and suddenly, a variety of harsh noises emerged from the other end of the phone, and Uncle's signal unexpectedly cut off.
Just at that moment, a wild beast's roar suddenly echoed throughout the scene.
Wang Zihan, who had been continuously calling out under Zhang Jiahao's comfort, immediately jumped up and stood in front of Xu Lingyi upon hearing the sound.
"Lingyi, don't be afraid, I can—"
Xu Lingyi pushed Wang Zihan's head aside, excitedly saying:
"Don't block me, I want to see what's going on!"
At this moment, Fang You was also in a highly alert state, as the creature that was about to appear and was gradually approaching, was definitely a very threatening presence.
But this was not a creature that could be detected by "Breath Perception."
This meant it was not human.
"Everyone, be careful, pay attention—"
At this moment, Fang You's hand was already on Xia Nuo, ready to swiftly retreat to Three Star Cave at the first sign of trouble.
Whoosh!
Right before everyone's eyes, a gigantic tusk pig emerged from the end of the hillside road, roaring as it charged toward their location!
"Run!"
After giving the command, Fang You immediately picked up Xia Nuo, who was frozen in place, and carried her on his shoulder, but at this moment, Xu Lingyi excitedly stood still. Without an option, Fang You had to pick her up too and carry her on his right shoulder.
As men, Zi Han and Zhang Jiahao could only run on foot, desperately trying to keep up with Fang You.
"Follow me!" Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
"Hey, hey! Is this real or fake!"
"We aren't dreaming, right!"
"Ahhh!"
Lacking physical talent, Zi Han soon tripped and fell.
At this critical moment, Zhang Jiahao turned swiftly and picked Zi Han up from the ground.
"Can you still walk?" Fang You also stopped and turned back to ask about Zi Han's condition.
"You, you guys don't worry about me."
"Hurry up…"
Just then, Zhang Jiahao made a move that Zi Han found unbelievable—he squatted down with his back to Zi Han.
"Get on, I'll carry you."
"Ah… this—no, no need—"
"Quick!"
Zhang Jiahao yelled at Zi Han, his command sharp like a soldier's, making Zi Han shiver and clumsily scramble onto Zhang Jiahao's back.
"Run fast!"
Fang You and Zhang Jiahao, one carrying two girls, the other carrying a man, rushed through the forest, with the gigantic mountain pig relentlessly pursuing them, leaving destruction along the path.
"Over here! There's a cave!"
Fang You motioned for Zhang Jiahao to follow him, and they both squeezed into a hidden cave. The mountain pig tried to follow but could only fit its nose and mouth into the cave entrance.
After struggling futilely for a while, the mountain pig eventually gave up and chose another path, sparing Fang You and his group.
...
Still shaken from the ordeal, everyone exchanged incredulous looks.
"I remember that creature."
"It's that one… yes, that one."
Xia Nuo said, "That's the Tusk Pig from the world of 'Paruultra'!"
"That's a creature from a game! How could it appear in the real world."
If at first the scenario of the game world could be understood through modern technology, that Tusk Pig clearly exceeded everyone's perception of Star Sea Technology's capabilities.
"Was that creature really a Paru beast just now?"
"Had no chance to look closely... but that form is unmistakable."
Fang You tried to recall the part where he observed the body shape of the Tusk Pig.
As a rational god, his first thought was that it must be a mechanically engineered creature designed like a guard.
Even if it was a mechanical creature, the level of biotech had clearly reached the pinnacle, with not a speck of steel visible anywhere.
...
It was truly baffling.
"So, next, I'm going to make a bold statement, that is—"
Xia Nuo seriously said, "This world, it really does have Paru beasts!"
"[Xia Nuo thinks you can now believe in light again, perhaps the Giants of Light also exist, Emotional Energy +100]"
"But, having said that, there was only one, right…"
"If this world really was full of Paru beasts, wouldn't we have encountered other Parus by now?"
Xu Lingyi said, "But our escape route felt pretty desolate. Did you see any other creatures?"
"Didn't see any… but I think there are many possibilities."
Xia Nuo said, "First, most of the Paru beasts might have been captured by Star Sea Technology and Paru Interactive for research; second, Paru beasts are transmitted from another world, and that transmission takes time, which is why we only saw one Paru. Of course, there's a third hypothesis."
"What's the third one?" Xu Lingyi asked.
"All the Paru beasts don't really exist in this world; rather, they're in a dimensinoal plane of the subspace in another world. This Tusk Pig underwent some unexpected changes, and its existence became a subspace projection in this world, similar to those subspace demons…"
"I, I just can't believe it! That's too far-fetched!"
Zi Han desperately slapped his own face, "I must be dreaming right now, right? Such bizarre things can't happen in real life… Is this everyday life or a sci-fi story? Snap me out of it! I must be dreaming!"
"Don't do that, Zi Han!"
Zhang Jiahao tightly grabbed Zi Han to stop him from slapping himself and immediately reminded him:
"Pull yourself together, Zi Han! Didn't you say you wanted to protect Lingyi?"
"Right, I have to protect Lingyi…"
Zi Han briefly regained his composure.
For Lingyi, I can defeat the Tusk Pig!
However, just as Zi Han managed to muster some courage, he saw Xu Lingyi and Fang You discussing strategies together, and his spirits deflated like a burst balloon.
"Forget it, Lingyi has You You to protect him, I really don't have a role to play… I better not meddle…"
Slap!
Zi Han received a sharp slap from Zhang Jiahao.
"Are you such a quitter!?"
"What happened to your relentless spirit when you were acting like a lovesick fool?"
"Was that all just an act?"
"I don't believe it."
"I know you're not that kind of person, Zi Han, you can stand up again."
"I…"
Looking at Zhang Jiahao, who was constantly trying to motivate him, Zi Han felt a mix of emotions.
What do you think?
