I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 921 487: Player Management Bureau

"No problem, the other party is not a player, we basically wasted our time coming here."

"That's not right, the previous player died and left something behind. If it's not him, then who is it?"

"We need to investigate further, let's head back for now."

"How about using some special means to make the other party speak?"

"Are you crazy? Is this your first time on a mission?"

The two were casually chatting, but Tu Chengyuan suddenly brought up the topic, making Liao Tai's eyes widen in disbelief.

"Is it not possible? The Bureau has provided us with equipment for targeting Transcendents, as long as we..." Tu Chengyuan hurriedly said.

"Repeat that, what exactly did the Bureau provide us with?" Liao Tai, having collected himself, asked calmly.

"Equipment for targeting Transcendents, is there a problem?" Tu Chengyuan was somewhat puzzled.

"You just said it, equipment for targeting Transcendents. A normal person, is he a Transcendent?" Liao Tai pointed out the key in his words.

"Even against Transcendents it can work; how could a normal person possibly resist it?" Tu Chengyuan was even more confused.

This made Liao Tai almost laugh in anger, as he sized up Tu Chengyuan. The other was only his temporary partner, supposedly to learn some experience from him. However, seeing this now, he seemed to be someone who got in through connections, as there was no other way someone could say something like this.

"How did your theoretical training go before taking the job?" Liao Tai asked politely.

"Perfect score." Tu Chengyuan's heart tightened. He hadn't undergone any training, but he braced himself to say it.

"Oh, is that so, okay then." Hearing this, Liao Tai lost interest. He could see Tu Chengyuan was lying because the theoretical training didn't even have scores, only grades divided into Excellent, Good, Pass, and Fail.

It was clear that Tu Chengyuan had powerful backing; otherwise, how could someone clueless be inserted here?

Therefore, Liao Tai planned not to care much more. He'd report the task when back, and this person would no longer be his responsibility. If he was assigned to another mission and told to bring Tu Chengyuan again, he could directly refuse citing poor performance.

The first time helping is due to social conventions; the second time would only mean the other party doesn't understand social conventions, and it's unnecessary to indulge them.

"Slow down, slow down. How about my proposal earlier? I really think there's something wrong with that person." Tu Chengyuan's eyes flashed.

"You think?" Liao Tai countered.

"Yes, I think."

"But the Dimensional Residual Detector says he's fine, do you want to compare whether your mouth is harder or it is?" Liao Tai mocked, thinking this guy was totally clueless. The equipment issued by the Bureau said everything was fine, yet he thought otherwise, like wishing he'd found a million dollars.

"I have a hunch that the picture is very likely a player login device." Tu Chengyuan licked his lips, a touch of greed in his voice.

At this moment, Liao Tai finally understood why this person got in through connections.

'Another fool coveting player status, truly unlucky.' Liao Tai's eyes flickered with disgust.

Anyone could see it must be someone with a mental illness who feels they're the true genius, and that players who acquire their status are just lucky.

Luck plays a huge role, yes, but becoming a player requires ability, and people with such short-sighted thoughts are hardly steady enough to become players.

Moreover, does he truly believe he can snatch player status from others?

"The Path to Civilization" has long guarded against this.

Not to mention the person we checked today isn't a player; even if they managed to get hold of something, it would be useless.

If he were a player, that would be troublesome. Players are protected by the world, such that even the entire Player Management Bureau doesn't dare to act directly or indirectly.

"Your hunch is none of my concern; first, let's go back and report then we go our separate ways." Liao Tai wasn't interested in how this kid thought. Once the task was submitted, even if the person died in the Bureau, it wouldn't be his concern. If anything happened now, he'd get implicated.

As for the person Tu Chengyuan was eyeing, he'd report them up the line as well.

No need to worry about Tu Chengyuan using equipment for targeting Transcendents, he'd been warned that the equipment issued was only effective against Transcendents, ineffective against ordinary people and potentially causing backlash. Without restrictions, why would he be so cautious?

Transcendent can only be used against Transcendents; it's ineffective against ordinary people. That's the world's rule, not something that works just because Tu Chengyuan thinks it does.

If Tu Chengyuan were unlucky and got caught, he might get beaten and sent to the security office, which would definitely be entertaining.

Tu Chengyuan heard Liao Tai's words and clearly understood what he meant, feeling disdain: 'Hmph, cowardly fool, with such conveniences you don't think to seize player status, instead thinking to be a servant to them.'

He was so confident because his grandfather used to be a player, and he had seen the glory players brought to their family, helping the Tu Family enter politics. Unfortunately, after their player grandfather died, their influence started to decline.

To regain their former glory, the best solution was to have a new player emerge once again.
