If you make your voice more mature and pay attention to the way you speak and the tone of your voice, you can't fool others into thinking that you are the one who is different from the reality.

After all, even after using voice changing software, 'men pretend to be women' can do it, so what's so difficult about just pretending to be an adult?

However, although Shino has also been in contact with many adults in GGO, or this kind of hard-core shooter game with the gimmick of making money is originally dominated by adult male players. But maybe it's because those people are either professional gamers who make money from games, or they are otaku who enter the online world when they get home from work. Shino really didn't find much difference from himself in those players who often teamed up with him to fight monsters. It wasn't until she met Levi that she suddenly had a feeling of 'this is an adult'.

In fact, Levy's performance is not too mature and stable, but it gives Shino the feeling that he is a little stupid or too self-confident. In short, such a novice rookie who should have not had much contact with VRMMO games before, but because he does not have the style that other players have formed a style, it is very different.

Like, like a cosplay contest with an old man who didn't understand what the men and women in strange clothes and makeup on the stage were doing? Shino couldn't help but laugh, she quickly covered her mouth and waved her hand vigorously.

"Sorry sorry, just thought of something at school. ”

Lévy smiled nonchalantly, he didn't think there was anything strange or funny about what he had just said, and naturally believed Shino's words. Isn't that often the case for him, anyway? Because some things are associated with interesting things that he has encountered before, but often the associations themselves have little to do with each other, and they are completely in a situation of 'I just think about that thing for some reason', and Lévy understands this.

"Since you insist on trying, come with me. Tell you upfront, don't blame me if you lose, I don't recommend that you gamble on that kind of luck at all. ”

Once Shino's expression had returned to normal, she emphasized to Levi again, and then led him to the place she had pointed to.

Shino probably took a shortcut with Levi, and she took some strange routes along the way. All kinds of turns, all kinds of upstairs and downstairs, through the small alleys that you miss if you don't pay attention, and then stand on the common moving trails in science fiction movies. She took Levi from the sparsely populated street to a much more lively road. Directly across from the two of them was a store that looked like a high-end chain shopping mall, and Shino turned around and greeted Levi, leading him into the shop.

"That's what you're trying your luck at. ”

Walking through the various merchandise sales area that looked like a playground inside, ignoring the countless beautiful clerks in cool silver uniforms, Shino didn't take Levi to see the various firearms on display in the beautiful clerks, but walked straight to the back of the store, which I didn't expect to be so big inside. Then, she yelled at Levinu at something rather large, unsure whether to call it a machine or not.

"This is a gambling game?"

Curious, Lévy took two steps closer to himself. There was a waist-high fence enclosed by a metal floor, about three meters wide and more than twenty meters long, and at the farthest point of the two stood a man who looked very similar to the cowboy in a traditional western movie - well, in the game, that 'person' should be called an NPC. Levy still knows this common sense, but he doesn't have that habit. Of course, he knew that the beautiful clerks who passed by along the way just now were also NPCs in the game, not girls who worked in the game after class. Do you really think that he has never touched these things, and that these are all old antiques for children's gadgets?

"Is this game about letting the player dodge bullets while approaching that NPC?"

The original scene looks most like the duel scenes that are often seen in Westerns. But Levi caught a glimpse of the neon-lit sign [UNTOUCHABLE!] on the wall behind the cowboy NPC. If it's a duel game where two players shoot each other with guns, you don't think you'll have a sign like this, but a different name for the game. Although the wall behind the cowboy that looked very flattened was riddled with bullet marks, it felt like it was caused by a missed bullet from a player who had lost a duel before. But Levi reckoned it was just a decoration, though his only reason was the words on the sign.

"Huh, you guessed it? yes, go through this gate and see where you can get past that NPC's shot. The record so far is the line on the ground. ”

Shino pointed a thin finger at the thin, reddish thread that stretched about two-thirds of the way out of the metal floor.

"What is the record so far? You mean no one in the entire GGO has beaten the game until now?"

Levi immediately noticed the message in Shinon's words. He was also going to try his luck, but he didn't expect the girl to bring him to a gambling game that seemed to be so difficult that it was explosive. He didn't know how many players GGO there were, or how long it had been since the game started. But the highest record is only two-thirds of the way through, and it can't be because the game is too boring or has too few rewards for those advanced players to be interested, right?

"Hmm,"

Shino nodded.

"I played it once a long time ago, and I don't really remember if it cost 500 or how much it cost to play once. However, I have the impression that if you can advance to a distance of 10 meters, it seems that you can get 1,000 points, and if you break through 15 meters, it will be 2,000 points. If you can meet that gunner, you can get a bonus of all the money that players have spent on the game so far. ”

"Oh, that's a pretty common setting, like a lottery prize pool. ”

Levi didn't ask Shino where she had advanced in this game before, and the girls didn't take the initiative to talk about it, either they forgot about it or they didn't get good grades. Levy's emotional intelligence isn't that low.

"That's right, just like the jackpot rules of some lotteries, as long as the player puts in the money and hasn't been won, it goes to the winner who touches the gunman. Let me see how the current bonus accrues...... It's a little over 300,000. ”

The sign that said "UNTOUCHABLE!" was next to a digital display with a long list of numbers, which Levi had guessed was probably the amount of money for winning the game.
