The Geared Immortal

Chapter 337 - Merging Of Worlds 2

The Merging Realms Part 2

/*unedited*/

The whole city seems to have stopped as people turned their gazes at the large screen LED display in the middle of the bustling part of City H. Their attention was caught in a large field of green and the unique design of the buildings as the camera zooms and pan in at the introduction of the new game 'Merging Worlds'.

What everyone could not believe is the realistic scenery they are seeing. The monster and beast didn't even seem to be CGI and even the supposed NPC of the game seems real people. Their individual action, their facial expressions, and the way they talked.

Everything was real. Everything they are seeing seems to indicate that the video was taken from another world of fantasy and dreams.

Suddenly the scene change when the person wearing the visor, which is one of the reporters began to make her choices. Then everyone can see the real face of the player which is a famous reporter from City H. They were stunned as the image is like she is looking at a mirror of herself.

She is Tina Ying, well-known media personnel of City H.

"This… this is really amazing. It's like… it's like I'm a new world. How was this done?" she muttered.

Everyone heard her voice and was all stunned.

Then after making her choices while asking the person outside… yes, the visor has the ability to interact with the people outside and will not even hinder one's movement. She then found herself in a small village filled with people who are wearing the same thing that she has.

"Hey, I knew that guy! Let me interview him." the woman said as she ran towards the person.

The man she saw was a fairly well-known actor. He was lucky to be able to get a visor and immediately played the game in its launch.

"Hi, I'm reporter Ying… You're Mister Lee, right? So how is your experience so far?" Tina Ying asked.

A little bit took aback, Guding Lee a somewhat famous actor in City H showed his handsome smile. He is in his 30's and his well-built body and handsome face have made him be an A-list actor.

"Well, this is really amazing. I think the NXT Element Company has outdone itself. This is really like living in another world. Hahaha…"

While they were talking, a man walks towards them.

"Excuse me…" the man said as he turns to the side and slightly brushed the robe of Tina Ying.

She immediately showed a surprised look on her face.

"Oh my… This… the sensation is like… it's like nothing like a game at all. The air, the smell… This is unreal, right? Am I still on earth? Hello!" she said as she tried to lift her visor.

In doing so, the image turned off and she saw her crew who is looking at her with a dumbfounded look.

But all of the viewers murmur at her actions. They wanted to see more.

After going back to the game, she played for a while and discovers that besides the realistic like interaction and the feeling, everything is really a game. The fighting in real-time. She can even jump higher than she can.

And so the game was shown to the world which immediately causes a ruckus. Out of the 1,000 first players, many created their own blogs. And this further pushed the virtual world's popularity.

…

Meanwhile, inside a pit lays ten unconscious men. After they infiltrated the supposed location of the secret underground server of the company, they found themselves falling to an abyss. Unknown to them, they have entered a trapping array.

So the successful launching of 'Merging Worlds' ended with a bang.

Shin Jiao, on the other hand, looks at his creation with a big smile on his face. No matter how he sees it, he can feel that this is what he would usually feel when he creates something new. This happiness, contentment, and a little pride, this is who he really is.

"Shin, this is really great! I think… I think is the day I've been dreaming about." Susan Tang said while sitting next to Shin Jiao.

"Yeah, I can see that you are really happy." He said while patting her hand.

"I know. It's all because of you," she said while leans her head to his shoulder.

Smelling a whiff of her sweet scent, Shin Jiao could not help but take in more. He leans his head closer to her hair and takes another whiff filling his nose with that sweat scent and aroma of a woman.

Unknown to the two, a figure is standing on the side watching them with a complicated expression on her face.

Genie Yu bits her lower lip as her mind became a bit muddled. She wanted to deny it, but she can't. It all started in the day that she met Shin Jiao in the training ground of the secret military base.

She was assigned as an instructor that day and was checking the grounds. That's when she saw a very handsome young man calmly running laps through the fields. It was at that time, that she didn't know why but wanted to see him always.

And then it happened that he was under her care as one of her students.

Every day the two would talk and they became friends. She would be happy to see him whether he has that beautiful girlfriend of his or not. But she didn't want to make a move as she knew that he is very in love with that girl.

And then she discovered a great secret. But she was a coward for not telling him. She didn't want to hurt him, so she just bottled it all up. And then it happened.

Now, she found him again. But this time in the arms of the woman she considered as her best friend. Genie Yu could not help but bit her lips deeper as she tried to hold on to her tears.

She will bottle it all up and be the friend he can count on. If that is the only way to be with him, then so be it.

As they were in the condominium of Susan Tang, Shin Jiao suddenly received a signal from Central.

"Master, it seems that there are armed people entering the vicinity of the company. Around 50 men wearing black clothes are within 500 meters and closing. Shall I initiate a lockdown system? Or do you want to capture and interrogate?" Central said with her mechanical voice.

Upon hearing this, Shin Jiao showed a sneer on his face.

The two women immediately noticed this and showed him a questioning expression.

"It seems that some people do not know how to give up." Shin Jiao muttered as he looks at Susan Tang.

Genie Yu suddenly walks towards a sofa chair and turns to look at Shin Jiao with a concerned expression.

"What do you mean?"

"Around 50 men are about to enter our company." Shin Jiao calmly said.

"Wait! 50! What should we do? We don't have security guards in the company. I… I told you to assign night guards." Susan said feeling a bit worried and blames Shin Jiao for his decision.

"Do you want those poor people to die while protecting a building? No way, I don't want to be responsible for their lives. In the morning, maybe that's possible. But at night???? No. Central is enough." Shin Jiao said.

He then changes the channel on the large TV screen in front of them. From there, Central shows them what is happening.

"Let's show this to the world." Shin Jiao muttered as he called someone.

Then 30 minutes later, something happened, as a news flash was broadcasted on air.

The title almost made the people watching curse those greedy companies as they saw 50 people spreading throughout the compound and entering the building. Then they saw the armed men entering a location.

…

While this is happening, two men are watching their TV screens with their eyes almost coming out of their sockets.

These two were the brothers of Susan Tang. After experiencing the fierceness of Shin Jiao the two lay low for a while and didn't bother with her and her company. But then after seeing the advertisement of the virtual world and the new game, their common sense and mind were immediately filled with greed. They wanted the technology for themselves.

But if they face the crazy man again then they're not sure if they can still keep their lives. So they decided to hire a mercenary group. The first part of their plan was to sabotage the launching, but it seems that the first group failed.

So they went to plan B. They would first infiltrate the building and steal the tech, then blow it to smithereens. The two knew that they would not be the suspect, and after a while, they too would launch the same virtual world but with another game and a new name. They would just say that they broke the code of the Visor and discover how it works.

That was the plan, but it seems that it is not impossible now. They are watching the mercenary group that they have hired.

"Brother, what should we do? What if our father finds out? This…"

"Don't worry too much. Let's just watch. Those people are professionals, I know they will succeed." Robin Tang said as his interest grew while watching what's happening.

The police became aware of the situation, but Shin Jiao told Susan Tang to have them only on standby outside the company.

The night that should have been a festive night became a night of suspense and action as 50 men enter the building of the company who became famous throughout the whole world in just a day.

Everyone was watching what would happen next…
