Chapter 270
Only a few moments earlier, Max had still been struggling with doubts.His concern was not really about Perfect World itself. What worried him was what could happen in the real world while they were connected. If someone discovered that they were inside the VR Pods, they would be almost completely defenseless.What if someone tried to rob them?What if something worse happened while their minds were trapped inside the virtual world?Max had even considered sending Riyah and Farrah into Perfect World while he remained outside to protect the pods.But then the young man emerged from one of the pods with a huge grin, celebrating his discovery as if he had just found a treasure. His happiness looked completely genuine, and there was no sign that anything had gone wrong.That eased some of Max’s concerns.The Aries Faction clearly had guards, staff, and medical systems in place to protect its players. If people could spend hours inside Perfect World without constantly worrying about what w

Whitmore gestured toward the nearest open pod.“Here’s how it works. Once you lie down, the pod closes and connects to your neural signals. The system calibrates your vitals, then boots you into Perfect World’s login interface. That’s where you’ll create your character. Name, appearance, and your starting attributes… all of that is chosen before you enter the world itself. No one spawns without finishing that step.”He chuckled at his own explanation before tapping the side of the pod.“After creation, you’ll spawn in Beginner Town… Lyria. Everyone starts there. It’s crowded with new players, merchants, and guides. Don’t get distracted. The town is designed to orient newcomers, but you’ll want to head straight to the Aries contact.”Riyah leaned forward.“Who do we look for?”Whitmore nodded.“There’s a liaison named Dalen stationed near the training grounds in Lyria. He handles Aries recruits. Once you speak to him, he’ll register your character under the faction and arrange transpor
Chapter 268
Max, Riyah, and Farrah were still uncertain about Perfect World. They had heard its name countless times since arriving in Blackreach City, but none of them had actually experienced it.Perhaps this was the right time to learn what it was really like.“Are we going to get paid for our work?”Since Cornelio was not back yet, there was little reason to waste the opportunity. They could enter Perfect World under the Aries Faction’s supervision, learn how the system worked, and even earn something while they were at it.“Yes! There’s a payment! You will receive it after…”Max nodded slowly. He was becoming more convinced by the offer.It was not as though they could simply walk into a VR Café in Blackreach City, rent a pod for a few hours, and explore Perfect World whenever they wanted. Entering through the Aries Faction gave them another advantage. They could see how the faction used the virtual world, learn about its resources, and perhaps discover more about the process behind the valu

The Aries Faction guard looked at the three strangers as they approached.“We’re here to enter.” Max said as he handed the token to the guard.The guard frowned and examined it carefully.Then his expression changed.He recognized the token.This was not an ordinary invitation. It had clearly been issued by someone with considerable authority, most likely one of the faction’s elders or someone even higher.“This is genuine.” He muttered.The people nearby immediately turned toward them.“An invitation token?”“Who are they?”“Wait… they’re not waiting in line?”The guard straightened and became noticeably more respectful.“You don’t need to wait in line. Follow me.”The reaction from the crowd was immediate.“Hey! We’ve been waiting for hours!”“Why do they get to skip?”“Unfair!”Others quickly lowered their voices.“That’s how these factions work… Only those with tokens can bypass the line.”“They must have connections inside.”“Maybe they’re recruits already.”Riyah glanced at Max
Chapter 266
Max knew Yueyin needed more time to recover, even after taking the serum. Her body had just gone through an operation, and the new mechanical arm still needed time to synchronize with her system.After leaving the slums, they returned to the Silver Rest Inn and rented a room for the two siblings. Before settling in, they bought them new clothes from a nearby stall. The clothes were simple, but at least they were clean and far better than the rags they had been wearing.Riyah helped Yueyin wash herself, taking care not to touch her injured shoulder, while Cang finally got the chance to take a proper bath. By the time they were done, both siblings were exhausted. They climbed onto the bed and fell asleep almost immediately.Later that night, Riyah sat across from Max.“Are you really going to take care of them?”Max shook his head.“No. I don’t have to take care of them. They should be strong enough to work for us. Shelter life isn’t about pity… it’s about survival. They’ll help clean,
Chapter 265
Chrisome’s departure only strengthened Max’s decision.He knew something like this could happen to any of his friends or Guild members. If someone became seriously injured or suffered from a condition that ordinary treatment could not handle, he needed to have a solution ready. He simply had not expected to need one so soon.’This should be fine…’The Arm Replacement Implant was his ace.Max had obtained it from Frank, a man who had once been a dependable member of the shelter. That changed after Frank acquired a skill capable of controlling the minds of other Survivors. Before the man eventually left, Max had taken the black metal box containing the implant.It was far more advanced than an ordinary prosthetic. The device was linked to the system and could synchronize with its user, adjusting itself according to the patient’s weight, age, and even combat style.Then there was the Hemostatic Vial.Max had obtained it after looting Alex, a Survivor who had badly underestimated his stre
