Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-149

Passing the gossiping workers, Ingrid went towards Luan's office. After knocking on the door, she heard Luan tell her to enter.

"My God, she didn't even bother to answer. Maybe it's true, is she really afraid of Big Sister Rafaela?" Seeing this, people started to gossip. Before, they wouldn't have dared to say anything about Ingrid, but seeing that someone was brave enough to speak in front of Ingrid, they became more courageous.

"Of course. She is just a peasant. What could she say?" Rafaela Amaral puffed out her breasts and said with pride. She laughed in her mind, believing that sooner or later she would take this gold digger out of Luan's side.

Regardless of what others were thinking, Ingrid entered Luan's office and smiled at him and asked, "Boyfriend, have you gained weight recently?"

"No."

"How is this possible? So why is it I feel that you weigh so much more on my heart now?" Ingrid said incredulously.

"..."

Luan laughed and really enjoyed hearing that. He got up and brought Ingrid over to the sofa in the living room. Making her sit on his lap, Luan kissed her lips and asked quietly, "I heard what that woman said about you. Are you just going to let her get away like this?"

"Hehe, how is that possible?" Ingrid kissed him and laughed sarcastically, "Am I going to let her mess with me and escape the hook?"

Luan laughed and said nonchalantly, even a little arrogantly, "Do what you want to do. Don't worry about anyone. With me by your side, no one should dare to intimidate you."

Ingrid stifled a laugh. With her arms around Luan's neck, she said coquettishly, "Boyfriend, I missed you. Did you know that?"

"I also missed you so much." Luan kissed her for some more time, and reluctantly let her go.

Recently, more and more people appeared in the game with different powers, and because of that many had tried to discover their real identities, but who were these people compared to Luan? How dare they try to compete against Luan over privacy and try to hack the game's system and find out information about these people?

In the end, all of these hackers came out frustrated and their computers were damaged. This was a huge shame for them, especially for some of the more famous hackers.

When Luan joined the game, he also realized that his powers of the clouds could be used. It was definitely something similar to the towers that appeared after the Third Awakening.

'Is this because I copied the tower's systems for the game's system a little?' Luan thought. He didn't go so far, but he knew he used a lot of the code from the tower system when creating the game. However, he did not expect that this could cause interference in the game and even create characters which would gain the powers of the person who was playing.

After thinking, he made an announcement. In the game's announcement page, he wrote that with luck people get characters with different powers, that it was something very rare, but with time everyone in the game can have them. However, he stressed it was good to avoid giving out personal information, as this could cause the players some inconvenience to themselves.

People with supernatural powers upon seeing that sighed in relief. Many of them were under pressure and afraid to be discovered, but when he learned that the game administrator was helping and protecting their personal information, it was as if he had taken a mountain off their backs and they no longer had to worry so much about playing the game. However, of course, they still had to be cautious and not leak real information themselves, since it was very dangerous, especially at that time when few people were "special" when gaining powers in the game.

When Maira, Ingrid, Cristina, and Catharina joined the game too, they soon realized that even their characters had their Origin in the game. It was almost like real life, only that it didn't seem entirely real. Yet, it was unbelievable that this was happening.

Another thing that Luan did in the game was to add new functions. He made some mysterious cracks appear all over the world and when exploring them players won prizes or even equipment by killing the monsters inside the mysterious crack.

As it was, these mysterious cracks that appeared were still rare in the game, little ended up changing, but when the first group of people managed to complete one and got some pieces of equipment as thanks to this, the internet became an uproar. Many were excited about it and wanted power from a mysterious crack too, but when the group that finished shared the information and explained the difficulty, people became aware that they needed to form groups in order to be able to survive in these mysterious cracks.

[Unbelievable. This outfit is so beautiful and it looks so real!]

[I kneel before this game. But I have to say, the restriction of being able to play only 8 hours a day is something that saddens me, but it also makes me happy.]

[Yes, there are many young people who do not know how to limit themselves and play for days. There was even a recent case where a teenager went without eating and drinking water for 2 days and ended up passing out and died. This is all because he did not want to go without losing out on an event and fail to continue in the game's rank.]

[This is complicated. I understand that it's fun to see the game's character in the top rank, but we shouldn't sacrifice our sleep time or food. We even need to have social interaction. It's not good to just be playing.]

[This is true, but almost no game works like that. They only think about profit, but not about customers. Seriously, nowadays, you need to have a limit, since if you leave someone addicted to the game and have no restrictions, it will harm many young people.]

[Truth.]

[In addition, it is more fair that we can only play 8 hours a day. This gives everyone, even those who work, the chance to compete with those who cannot. It is also good that the game is not a mercenary game. It has no gimmick for buying equipment or potions, etc. You only have to pay a small fee to be able to play every month, compared to the other games that say they are "free" where you end up actually spending much more than a game paid monthly.]

[I totally agree with that. My youngest nephew these days took his mother's cell phone and ended up spending a thousand reais on the game! Think, a thousand reais! All because I wanted to buy coins in the game and my sister's credit card was linked to the cell phone. As a result, she was unable to buy the new refrigerator she wanted to buy and was unable to claim a refund for the game.]

[Tsk, this sucks. There should be more restrictions to prevent that from happening, but unfortunately, these game companies, for the most part, only think about profit.]

[Anyway, I hope to also get one of those special skills.]

[Me too!]

[Me too!]

[Me too x1000!]

Luan, who read some of the comments, was pleased many people understood why he put the time limit on how much they could play. After all, he didn't create the game just to get money; that was the least of his concerns. He wanted human beings to evolve, get stronger, and not be enslaved again.

Humans spoke of themselves as the most wicked brings in existence, but in reality, they had not seen even half of what other living beings were capable of doing without remorse. Luan knew that humans, despite having many bad people, there were still many good people, however, there were races out there that did not have any good people and only seeked destruction.
