New World
Sorry Microboot

As Alan suspected, the Microboot immediately went to the hospital where Alan was treated in the morning. And no responsibility, who came to see Alan is Mason himself, Head of Public Relations of the Microboot company. Mason came with some Microboot tech staff.

"I'm glad you've regained consciousness." Mason opens a conversation between his men examining Alan's VR helmet.

"Yes Mr. Mason. If anyone is so pleased with the return of my consciousness, it is certainly me... Being stuck for more than a year in the game is really not a fun experience." Alan lied a little with the word, but of course... Alan showed no expression of lies at all. He showed an expression that looked so sorry.

Alan certainly wants to see how far the Microboot side will treat him. Players who in the view of the Microboot Company become victims of negligence in providing security facilities for players.

"Pardon us for the negligence we have committed? We promise that nothing like this will ever happen to you and the other players again." Mason bent his body. Showing her apology truly sincerely represented her feelings.

Honestly, Mason was very concerned about Alan. Alan had been living alone, with no parents to support Alan. But Alan was stuck in a game for more than a year. Apologizing is unlikely to be enough for Mason to take the guilt and empathy out of Alan.

"No... No. Mr. Mason... Please don't be like that..." Alan tries to move his body, preventing Mason from bending lower. But what power... Alan's body was too weak to sit on the bed.

"Well..." Alan also had to endure a little pain in his wrist due to the infusion hose attached to his hand a little interested.

"You're okay?" Hearing Alan's groan, Mason immediately stood up straight again. His self-reflections soon help Alan to justify his sleeping position.

"Sir..." One of the engineering officers Mason brought in interrupted what Mason was doing. But the supervision that the employee did, immediately stopped because of the sharp glances from Mason.

"Yes Sir..." The technical officer must be aware that he has made a mistake. He prefers to rewind himself to wait for Mason to finish his business.

"I'm sorry... But we can't stay here long either. We need to get back to the office..."

"Sure Mr. Mason... Thank you for coming to see me..."

"This is my business card... Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need help. But I beg you very much... Please don't let what befalls you don't spread it." There was no threat at all from Mason's words just now. All of Mason's pure requests that don't want the reputation of the company he's working for are ruined just because of one problem with Alan.

"certainly Mr... I don't want that to happen either... Let what happens to me only we know. But I hope... This kind of incident doesn't happen to other players." Alan received Mason's business card. Keep it under the hospital pillow. It was the only place Alan could use right now to store such a precious object. His hands were still too limp to just open the desk drawer next to the bed.

"Thank you very much Mr. Alan... You are really wise..." Mason once again bowed, thanking Alan again.

"Already Sir... I'm so sorry if you keep treating me like this." Alan was a little uncomfortable. He has never been treated so respectfully by anyone. Moreover, that person had quite a high standing.

Honestly, Alan saluted Mason, who kept humbling himself in front of Alan. Although Mason knows that Alan is not from a noble family. Mason really knows how to behave, especially if he is representing the party who seems guilty.

"Then I say hello to Mr. Alan... Hope your condition improves soon..."

"Okay, Mr. Mason... Sorry I can't deliver your departure."

"No need to think, sir... Let's..." Mason turned his back, and technical staff followed Mason behind him. With the door closed, Alan returned alone in his treatment room. A sense of relief filled his chest.

"Thank you..." Alan is grateful that Microboot does not suspect him. And most importantly, the Joker's whereabouts remain safe in the hands of Alan and Toni.

Mason's entourage didn't stop at all, they kept going until they had all gotten into the car.

"How's it?" As soon as the car door closed, Mason immediately asked the Tekhnik team search results from Alan's VR helmet.

"A little strange sir. From our search... We indicate that the boy's account never reached the Abyss World."

"You mean?"

"Yes... No trace of the Abyss World was stored on the child's VR helmet chip."

"So?" Mason is certainly not very familiar with technical problems, his specialty is to negotiate with outsiders. It is not about the data system and code within the software network.

"There are two possibilities. One... The boy had changed his VR helmet chip. And the second... The traces of the Abyss World inside the child's chip had indeed been erased."

"Yes... Maybe there's one secret he doesn't want us to know. But whatever it is doesn't matter... At least our company's good name is preserved."

Mason certainly did not bother with the issue. He only argues that Alan really wants to keep what he did in the Abyss World a secret. It was only natural that professional players in New World had one or two secrets. The secret that makes the player has power over other players.

"alright... Let'sjust see... What is this chip..." Toni is getting ready to wear her VR helmet. Helmets whose chips have been replaced with Alan's chips. Although the New World is at night, Alan's curiosity about the chip master forces Toni to try it out immediately.

[Welcome to New World. New system has been found. Please wait a moment to upgrade the system. Please do not turn off your VR Helmet.]

Toni certainly obeyed the words of the system, she did not want her brain to be injured by taking off the VR helmet by force.

After the loading bar was full, Toni's view went from dark to light. He found the room the last time he logged out.

[Hello Toni.].

A voice arrived inside Toni's mind startling Toni.

"Who?" Toni turned to the right and to the left, making sure the sound came from where. But there was no one else but her in the room where she was.

[I'm Joker... Name of the US. You can change my name if you want.]

'Oh... The joker?' Toni smiled slightly, knowing Alan gave the Joker his name. The Joker is the strongest card in the card range, as the Joker can be anything to cover the needs of card users. It is true that Alan named the support system in the chip master with the name Joker.

'Okay Joker... What the hell do you have?' Toni can't wait to learn the function of the Joker. A support system that made Alan so powerful in the New World.

Joker also explained the outline of the information he had in his database. Starting from place information, monster attributes, even player and NPC attributes the Joker can display. But of course, Joker also explained that he did not have data about the relationship between fellow players and players with NPCs, such as recorded conversation data, battle videos, and others.

"It's just worth it..." Toni was a little surprised by the explanation the Joker gave. He did not think at all if the Joker contains all the information about the New World. Although there are still weaknesses in the absence of information about the relationship between fellow players, but at least the existence of the true Joker is very helpful.

Especially the tracking system that Joker has. With the tracking system, Joker users can map the strength of the enemy when in war. In general, Toni understood very well, why Alan could become a Hero of the Revolution in the Kingdom of South Mountain.

'Okay Joker... There's one thing I want you to do.'

[Sure Toni. Just mention it and I'll try to find it.]

'Show me the most beautiful place in New World that can be reached at this time.'

[Sure Toni.].

[Analysing databases. Researching the required data. Enter category.]

The Joker instantly displays hundreds of small picture images that almost meet Toni's screen display. Toni was surprised by what the Joker was able to show. One by one Toni examines the image that Joker shows, immediately delete it when the image does not match the criteria that Toni wants.

'Can you show me the location of this place?' Toni's choice fell on one image that she thought was best suited for May's application procession. But of course he also had to consider how he could bring May to the place.

Toni certainly does not want to endanger the safety of May and herself, if the place she wants to go is far from reach.

[Site analysis. Scanning locations.

Result: Demon God Kingdom.]

"Demon God?" Toni felt a little limp hearing the name of the Demon God Kingdom being called by the Joker. Although the WMC had managed to build a single teleportation gate in the Demon God Kingdom Capital, but the condition of the Demon God Kingdom that was not conducive certainly made him think a little.
