"There's nothing we can do... That's just how we players are; who knows when we'll suddenly have bad luck and face a dungeon challenge that disappears."

Chu Wei somewhat agreed with Wang Zhifan's view; she also felt that Ah Liao had quite some potential, but then he suddenly died in a dungeon, something no one could have predicted.

"Indeed, the emergence of extraordinary games will inevitably lead many to adopt a 'seize the day' life philosophy, after all, facing uncertain risks every week makes long-term planning seem somewhat out of place."

Wang Zhifan nodded and replied, personally feeling a bit inclined in that direction as well. However, the special advantages he had as a player hid this tendency; not only did he avoid being like many players who only played one dungeon a week to meet the minimum requirement, but he also played dungeons daily, and if extraordinary games loosened restrictions further, he might play several dungeons every day.

"That's true; recently, I've heard that various places have seen an increase in crime cases, many of which are committed by players, causing quite a headache for the relevant departments."

Chu Wei replied immediately.

"Has public security gotten worse lately? Doesn't seem like it... I feel like things around here are still more or less the same as before; I've only encountered one unusual situation."

Wang Zhifan was slightly skeptical about Chu Wei's statement; personally, he felt that apart from a hairy creature suddenly jumping out of the sewer and attacking him a while ago, everything else seemed as calm as usual around him. Only the Gray Realm had genuinely increased, but they mainly appeared outside the city.

"I'm talking about the overall national situation... Dongjiang City is one of the top ten big cities, it wouldn't easily become chaotic."

Chu Wei said while chewing and swallowing the beef, rolling her eyes slightly in exasperation.

"Let's not talk about these things; such matters are for the big people to consider, we little people should just do our own tasks."

Shifting topics, Wang Zhifan continued to inquire about Chu Wei's work.

"You went to clear the Gray Realm this afternoon; it seems less busy now. Do you have assistance?"

He speculated that the new wave of player reinforcements Chu Wei had mentioned earlier was on the way, a necessary impact following Xia Country's recent complete public campaign about the extraordinary game.

"Yes, and no."

Chu Wei gave an ambiguous answer to Wang Zhifan's words.

"A new batch of clearing crew has indeed arrived at the second bureau, but they haven't been assigned to me yet. I initially applied to the higher-ups for a vacation, but after half a day, felt a bit bored and went to the bureau to help."

Chu Wei said with a slightly helpless tone, lamenting her restless nature.

"Haha, you even know how to take a leave now, that's progress."

Wang Zhifan knew this girl was really diligent, quite different from someone like him who loved to loaf around when there's not enough interest.

"By the way, how about the BMW I drove today? Looks cool, doesn't it? Why didn't you show any reaction when you saw it?"

Wang Zhifan brought up his doubt; he was thinking that driving a luxury BMW to pick up Chu Wei would have amounted to some impression, but it seemed like she completely ignored it, not mentioning it at all.

"That car you drove was a BMW? Uh... Fan, sorry, I'm not well-versed in cars... feels just like any other to me."

Chu Wei showed a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, not that she hadn't noticed Wang Zhifan's car, but being unfamiliar with the subject, she never touched on it.

"Hmm... I remember there are indeed many good cars in the second bureau's parking lot, even our mission-exclusive car was produced by a well-known company... But it's quite ridiculous not to recognize a BMW..."

Wang Zhifan looked with a slightly melancholic gaze at the young beauty across the table, trying to see if she was lying from her naturally graceful face, but unfortunately based on his experience and observation, Chu Wei didn't seem to be acting.

"Gosh... what would I gain from lying to you... I'm just a small-town girl working in the big city with no energy to research such million-dollar luxuries... I haven't touched a car since I got my driving license... I'm more interested in housing than cars."

Chu Wei hurriedly explained, indicating her lack of interest in things that exceeded her purchasing power due to her humble background.

"Aren't you curious why I can afford a BMW?"

The certain someone added reluctantly, feeling a bit unresolved without flaunting today.

"That I know."

Chu Wei immediately nodded.

"Fan, you definitely have a secret hidden identity; seeing that you know the tycoon Chen Ming, you must come from a wealthy family and are deliberately maintaining a low profile, experiencing life among the common folk. Don't worry, I'll keep your secret."

She looked intensely at Wang Zhifan, lowered her voice as if she'd uncovered his secret identity.

She wasn't talking nonsense; primarily, she'd known Wang Zhifan relatively early, back when he seemed a bit exceptional. Later, as things got more inexplicable and after going through the Wuji Sect dungeon together, she knew Wang Zhifan wasn't ordinary, so the explanation of him being nurtured as a powerful member of a wealthy family seemed quite reasonable.

Never underestimate the advantages of tycoons in extraordinary games. On player forums, it's been long suggested that this extraordinary game is essentially a pay-to-win game; ordinary players without extraordinary talent rely on luck to clear each dungeon, hoping for a rare equipment drop. Tycoons, however, don't need to be on edge; before tackling a dungeon, they spend money in the store or buy powerful equipment from other players, having a substantially different level of strength from ordinary players, naturally leading to different success rates in dungeons.

Generally, tycoon players are stronger than ordinary ones, excluding some experts and lucky ones; most who stand at the top of the player base are upper-class individuals possessing rare resources beyond the reach of common folk.

"Who'd have thought, despite my low profile all this time, you'd see right through me."

With Chu Wei saying this, Wang Zhifan went along with it.

"Actually, recently I not only got a BMW from the family but a grand villa too; you can come visit when you have time."

They say wealth should not be flaunted, and immense wealth should lead to humility. But with Chu Wei, Wang Zhifan felt it didn't matter, as this girl seemed quite good at keeping secrets; she actually knew him best in the bureau, yet until now, no one had come to investigate him, nor had there been any covert surveillance.
