Chapter 35: New interesting information!
"There was a weird guy with a broken VR Helmet, acting like a zombie. He kept whispering dungeon, dungeon, dungeon, and dungeon! And when he passed me, I ignored him because he was unstable.
No way he would recognize me, right?
But then, that girl fell from the sky! She killed the man in one go, then used some skill to pick up his body and erase blood and other evidence," Alice explained with her arms crossed, feeling nonchalant about everything.
But Max and the black-haired girl were different.
On the lady\'s face, a disgust flashed. She was clearly not fond of her actions, lowering her eyes while gritting her teeth.
Max didn\'t miss that reaction. He might be too inexperienced with the dungeon and fantasy worlds. Still, he had made many friends and met various people in his young life. And even if he hadn\'t had those experiences with others, the girl\'s reaction was as clear as the sun.
All his emotions vanished, replaced by seriousness, for Max believed there was more to the game than just a fake world to find real players.
"Has some lab rat escaped you, or the game has side-effect?" Max asked the black-haired girl, looking at her with narrowed and stern eyes.
She lifted her head, staring back at him. She didn\'t seem like someone who would talk, for she clearly didn\'t know Max and Alice. It was already weird that there were players she couldn\'t recognize.
As someone who worked in this area, the girl knew the faces and mana of everyone here. That was mandatory in case some living being escaped from the dungeon under the three families\' noses.
In her eyes, Max and Alice could be exactly those existences.
But as she exchanged glances with Max, gazing into his eyes, the girl realized that he couldn\'t be someone from the dungeon. Their world had low-level dungeons, which had monsters of low intelligence.
Only the last bosses possessed enough intelligence to cause a ruckus and keep the dungeon\'s rewards for themselves.
"Who exactly are you?" the girl asked, "Someone from another world?"
Max put his hand on the girl\'s hair, clenching it tightly, "Answer my question. I don\'t like how others answer with a question instead."
The lady squinted her eyes halfway, feeling pain and Max\'s blunt actions. She grew scared, for she couldn\'t muster any mana. Max\'s attitude also helped her understand that she was captured and that questioning him was unwise.
But if she revealed all she knew, she was already dead anyway. She was in such a pointless situation that it would be better to just die.
Max saw that the girl was unwilling to say anything. He was immensely curious about the fake world and whether there were side effects. But as the girl kept her lips shut, he could only take a different approach.
\'I will hack into her system,\' Max whispered inwardly, extending his mana toward the lady\'s body.
He didn\'t want to manipulate or brutally force her to speak, as that wasn\'t his style… Inwardly, he was also shocked to hear that the real living being died close to his house.
Max didn\'t think he would have problems killing others, for the three families had already aimed for him in the past. He surely wouldn\'t be able to tread the evil path by killing innocents, though.
Thus, killing those who were eviler than enough would be his priority.
And for example, Muller Lucas was one of those descendants. He manipulated others for his own gain, stripping people of their freedom and rationality. That alone was enough to fight him to death or plot to exploit him and steal his assets.
Max would take a much different approach if this girl was just some player. Nonetheless, he didn\'t want to lower himself by manipulating or torturing others.
[Rosangela Gray]
[D-ranked players from Earth]
\'We really can go against D-ranked players like that,\' Max whispered, correcting himself immediately, \'Twins can go against them without problems. I also should be able to face them effortlessly, just with mana pool alone.\'
And now that it was confirmed, Max\'s plans became more alluring.
He smiled, revealing the girl\'s name, "Rosangela Gray, huh."
The girl\'s eyes widened in a shock, for invading someone else\'s system was a breach of privacy and simply impossible. Yet, with Mateo\'s system, Max could leverage his mana in many ways, exactly reading people\'s information.
And as Mateo did his research before, Max knew that [Gray] was quite an influential surname in the Smith Household.
He smiled, "You must be in a shitty situation if you don\'t even want to reveal your surname or some of the truth behind the zombie incident.
While there are players regularly fighting in the dungeons, you were sent to this city to overlook it.
You are insignificant, aren\'t you?" Max asked.
Rosangela\'s face scrunched with hatred, for Max didn\'t cover his words. Having to face the harsh reality of a foreign person also hurt her. But as he said just the truth alone, she couldn\'t refute his words.
She seethed inwardly while glaring at him.
But in a few more breaths, Rosangela\'s expression turned different. She saw Max\'s abundant mana oozing out of him; its density and amount were already absurd. Yet, the allure of this peculiar energy turned her hotter, and she couldn\'t believe how her body reacted just from feeling it.
She didn\'t lose her mind, but she yearned for his mana. It was as if he could fix everything and give her the better life she deserved.
Alice stared at Max, seeing through him. In the past, this mana made her moan and whimper like a slut, for she was directly influenced by him. But as she stared at it in its dormant state, Alice\'s mouth watered, for she wanted to taste the mana!
She was the same, yearning for it instinctively.
Max smiled brightly, like a god forgiving his believer, "You can change your life with me by your side.
Don\'t you want to know what it means to be a player?" Max whispered those words in a compelling tone, leveraging his mana\'s influence.
And as Rosangela stared at him, she suddenly gave up, lowering her head and whispering in a pretty cute tone, "Yes…"
