Happy Stick Adventure: The Time to Enter Dreams Has Come – Additional Update【7/15】_3

It was the life of Melia Corando, the Descendant he had just “First Embraced” in the “game.” It was like an unrolled scroll laid out before him for his perusal, with no secrets hidden; even the face of a boy Melia had had a crush on when she was twelve was seen by the Happy Stick in crystal clear detail.

He knew he had just experienced a “supernatural event,” and after slowly calming his mind, an infuriated Happy Stick stormed into the bedroom, donned the helmet, and logged onto the forum.

Already someone whose personality lacked a sense of security, following this inexplicable situation, all he wanted was an explanation from the “Real Different World” Development Team!

What the hell did they inject into his brain?

If they didn’t give him an explanation, they shouldn’t blame him for finding a way to “assert his rights.”

However, sending a private message to Administrator Alpha through the forum yielded no reply.

Just as Happy Stick was getting impatient, Brother Fa’s assistant, “Little Cui,” took the initiative to send him a message.

Assistant Xiao Cui: [Dear little player, what exactly happened to make you so angry?

Did something upsetting occur during the game?]

Embedded Joy Stick: [You still have the face to ask!]

He angrily told everything about his recent encounter to Xiao Cui, who took a long time to reply.

Just as Stick Brother was about to lose his patience, Little Cui finally responded:

Assistant Xiao Cui: [You know that the Vampire race-special ‘Bloodline Contract Function’ is still in production, right?]

Embedded Joy Stick: [I know that!

But why…]

Assistant Xiao Cui: [Since you’re aware that it’s a function not yet completed, then why did you and Meow King go beyond the normal game area, into a ‘Testing Zone’ you shouldn’t have entered, and without permission interfere with this still-imperfect story progress, ignoring the safety risks to complete it?

Of course, I’m not pointing out your mistakes, dear little player.

I’m simply informing you that this is the primary reason for the situation you’re currently facing.

If you had carefully read the game helmet manual provided by the development team, you would know that our helmet uses the most advanced brainwave induction program to provide players a 100% authentic game experience.

This kind of program, which directly affects the brain, would absolutely not be put into the game process by the development team without ensuring 100% safety.

But the thing is, two hours ago you ‘accidentally’ participated in a function that hadn’t been thoroughly tested.

The memories of that NPC which appeared in your dream were the character story written for her by AI and shared into your memory through brainwave induction.

From a functional standpoint, this isn’t a serious issue.

As long as you do not log in again for seven days, it will gradually fade from your memory…

ah, let the professional explain it to you.

“Ding”

A notification sound rang out in Stick Brother’s game helmet, and he noticed that Administrator Alpha, who had been silent until then, had come online and sent him a private message.

As Stick Brother opened it, he felt his blood run cold.

Alpha: [Holy shit!

While I was just taking a nap, you and Wumeioge managed to make such a mess?

What the hell did you two do?

I just got chewed out by the development team, totally dumbfounded.

Apparently, you’ve disrupted a half month’s worth of testing they had prepared; the data now is ‘contaminated’ and needs to be redone.

The coders forced to work overtime are almost losing their minds.

Wumeioge’s situation is manageable; just clearing his interference data and rerunning the Subspace Chaos Spiritual Energy program should suffice.

But your case…

I’ve just checked the backend records.

Your accidental involvement might cause the two Clarendon Sisters NPCs to be permanently deleted, along with the ‘Wolf Poison’ plotline which the planning team had already designed, or else it could trigger a series of unpredictable BUGs.]

Embedded Joy Stick: [???

How is this my fault?

Brother Fa, you have no idea how miserable I am!

I just had a bizarre dream about Melia Corando’s entire life!

I thought I was possessed, it scared the hell out of me!]

Alpha: [Ah, we already said it’s an incomplete feature and can’t predict what effects it might cause.

We don’t warn against exploiting BUGs just to protect the server—it really is for your psychological health.

How about this?

I’ll lock your login privileges for a week, run some checks in the backend, and if everything is clear, I’ll unlock them for you.

You need to report to me routinely every day about your condition in the real world for this week, and if any aftereffects occur, you must inform me immediately.

The medical team is also preparing to keep a long-term observation file on you.]

Embedded Joy Stick: [A week without gaming?

That seems unnecessary, actually I’m suddenly feeling it’s not that serious, it’s just a dream, and dreams are meant to be bizarre, right?]

Alpha: [No, that won’t work.

We must ensure the mental and physical health of each tester.

I’ve consulted with the medical team, and under your circumstances, you need to be offline for at least a week for observation.]

Embedded Joy Stick: [This…

Alright then, does Wumeioge also need a week of observation?]

Alpha: [His situation isn’t as serious as yours since the program he was involved in doesn’t trigger brainwave interference, so he can…]

Embedded Joy Stick: [But he was involved in this too, I mean, maybe he should also be observed for seven days?

In case he has some aftereffects he’s not aware of.

Err, of course, I’m just suggesting.

Don’t tell him it was my idea, mainly because I can’t log on for these seven days and will be bored as hell.

Someone’s got to keep me company.

He and I are buddies; we should share the trouble, right?]

Alpha: […Your understanding of the word ‘buddies’ is really twisted, Stick Brother.

Fine, I’ll ask the medical team whether or not he needs seven days of observation.]
