God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 139

Chapter 139: Quitting The Game, Reuniting In The Private Lobby
After he discovered the deaths of his teammates, Kayden was at a loss for what to do next.

Although Kayden would often give suggestions to his teammates, he believed that he wasn’t someone who wasn’t good at leading a team to do something. Even before, it was either Ayame or Winston who led the team and he was only in charge of giving suggestions or a second opinion.

“As a casual gamer, I don’t know what to do now. I don’t even have the skill set to perform an autopsy or even decide what to do next. Even if I continue my game session, I’d probably not have any discovery.”

Kayden contemplated whether he should quit now or continue playing Cozy Vacation Life.

Eventually, Kayden decided, “I’ll just quit now. It’s better to have my teammates’ assistance rather than doing all of this alone.”

‘I know that I can go guns blazing with Illya as we demolish Windesburg Hotel. But I’m worried that there is an evil spirit or monster sealed under the Windesburg Hotel. If it’s the horrendous creature that could inflict mental pollution, Illya and I would suffer.’

‘I don’t want Illya to suffer due to my reckless commands so I might as well end this game session and regroup with my teammates in the next game session.’

Having that thought in mind, Kayden summoned the player menu.

After seeing the [Exit Game] button, Kayden pressed on it without any hesitation.

…

After Kayden quit the game, he was transported back to the private lobby.

When Kayden arrived at the private lobby, he saw Ayame, Winston, Bianca, Kenshi, and the Dislord admins waiting for him there.

Seeing Kayden’s arrival, Ayame asked him, “Have you discovered the cause of our death?”

“After we have experienced a game over, we were forced by the game into spectator mode but we could only observe within your range of sight in third person perspective.”

“The rest of us have already held a meeting about it but we haven’t discovered the cause of our death yet.”

Hearing Ayame’s question, Kayden shook his head, “I don’t know. But I still have a guess on why I haven’t died.”

“If I’m not mistaken, I didn’t die likely due to Illya. Maybe her presence had warded off the evil spirit or monster that kidnapped and killed you guys at night.”

Hearing Kayden’s guess, Winston asked, “So does that mean we have to sleep in the same room with Illya? But wouldn’t that be too inconvenient?”

In response, Kenshi commented, “Even if it’s inconvenient, at least it won’t cause our death. I can tolerate sleeping on the floor as long as I have a sword with me. So the rest of you can discuss the right to sleep on the hotel room’s bed.”

Bianca shook her head, “I don’t think it’s due to Illya that you haven’t died. Specifically, Illya’s presence had indeed prevented your death. But preventing your death might not be exclusively due to Illya.”

“For example, what if the kidnapping and death at night is determined by the number of occupants inside the hotel room?”

Noticing that they were listening to her, Bianca continued, “If you all noticed, everyone aside from Kayden has another occupant in his hotel room which is Illya.”

“All of us were sleeping in our hotel room and we only had one occupant in our hotel room which is us. On the other hand, Kayden has two occupants in his hotel room which is himself and Illya.”

“So I was thinking, what if we can avoid our death by increasing the number of occupants in our hotel room?”

“The number 1 is odd while the number 2 is an even number. If I am not mistaken, we can avoid our death as long as the number of occupants in our hotel room is an even number.”

“Or at least, that’s the case for our first night in Windesburg Hotel. I am not certain if the parity of the required number of occupants remains the same in the upcoming nights.”

When they heard Bianca’s conjecture, they all felt that what Bianca hypothesized had made sense.

Noticing that the rest of her teammates didn’t raise any objections to Bianca’s conjecture, Ayame decided, “Let’s go with Bianca’s conjecture. We can spend the first night in our hotel room in pairs of two since we have a total of ten in our group.”

“Any objections?”

In response to that, Kuroneko asked, “Can’t we just stay in the beach resort instead? The anomalous incident might be due to staying in the Windesburg Hotel. If we leave Windesburg Hotel and live in the beach resort instead, we might be able to avoid this.”

Before Ayame could reply to Kuroneko, ProGamerXD interjected, “That won’t work. The beach resort is still considered as an extension of Windesburg Hotel since if I’m not mistaken, Maverick Windesburg also owns the beach resort.”

“Furthermore, the Windesburg Hotel staff are also in charge of the maintenance of the beach resort. So if we don’t want to be affected by that rule-type anomaly, we can only live outdoors such as in the forest or something.”

“But sleeping outdoors at night is a dumb decision to make especially when Vacation Paradise Island is infested with monsters and evil spirits. I won’t be surprised if there are monsters that are programmed to kill us when we sleep outdoors.”

Kuroneko sighed after hearing ProGamerXD’s remarks, “Cozy Vacation Life is filled with too many unseen dangers and even living inside would still cause our death.”

Kayden commented, “Well, we can’t do anything about that. Aspro didn’t want to make his games too easy to be completed. It might take us several or even countless attempts to complete Cozy Vacation Life.”

“But in the end, we won’t give up until we complete Cozy Vacation Life. After all, we need to secure the authorities in Cozy Vacation Life, or else the other players could take its exclusive ownership.”

“So for now, let’s try our best in our second game session. Let’s proceed with Bianca’s conjecture and determine if it’s true or not.”
