God-Level Game Developer System: I Brought In-Game Items To Real World - Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Obtaining Winston’s Trust
After seeing Winston’s appearance, Ayame signaled Bianca to follow her as she walked towards Winston.

Noticing that Ayame was approaching him, Winston pointed his gun toward her and threatened, “Don’t move or else I’ll shoot you.”

In response to Winston’s threat, Ayame spoke, “Your favorite food is foie gras with peanut butter.”

Hearing Ayame revealing his secret, Winston immediately understood what was happening so he nodded his head towards Ayame and commanded, “Get in the car, we’ll leave here.”

Ayame and Bianca listened to Winston as the two of them opened the principal’s car and entered. After the two of them entered the car, Winston followed suit as he entered and sat on the passenger seat.

Ayame was sitting in the driver’s seat while Bianca was sitting in the back seat.

Although the students and teachers near the school gate had wanted to snatch the principal’s car, they knew that they were no match for Winston’s two pistols so they dared not snatch the car key from Winston.

Igniting the engine, Ayame drove the car out of the school gate while skillfully avoiding the zombies that blocked the road.

While Ayame was driving, Winston asked, “Did I meet you in other servers or timeline?”

Ayame replied, “Only me and another player. Bianca is a friend of mine but it’s her first time playing the game so she hasn’t met you before.”

Receiving Ayame’s reply, Winston asked another question, “From what my Eye of Insight can see, you two are players, right? So did you complete the game? And if so, have you awakened?”

In response to Winston’s question, Ayame nodded her head then shook her head, “Bianca and I are players. However, I haven’t completed the game yet and have only become the top 1 survivor. And yes, Bianca and I have become an Awakener.”

“I awakened space manipulation while Bianca awakened restoration.”

Hearing Ayame’s reply, Winston nodded in approval. With his Eye of Insight that could not only see through whether someone was an NPC or a player but also the lies of someone, Winston knew that Ayame wasn’t lying to him.

That’s why Winston was a special NPC. Although he wasn’t the strongest special NPC, he was very reliable and was one of the keys to completing the game.

Although Winston could already guess Ayame’s answer, he still asked, “Which route will you take? The survival route or discovery route?”

The survival route was none other than what Ayame and Kayden did in their Server 1 game session. It was none other than to become as strong as possible and become one of the top 3 survivors.

On the other hand, the discovery route was to discover the secret behind the zombie virus and uncover the mastermind’s identity as well as motives. It was also called the completion route since in essence, it was to discover the secrets of the game and complete it.

However, it was impossible to choose the discovery route without successfully accomplishing the survival route. The discovery route could only be played after a player became an Awakener in the real world and inherited their power in the game world.

Winston from Server 1 had suggested to Kayden and Ayame to accomplish the survival route first before taking the discovery route. He also mentioned his favorite food which was the keyword they would use if ever they wanted to team up with him to take on the discovery route.

Winston had never revealed that keyword to anyone from what he remembered so it could only mean that Ayame had met his other self.

Knowing what Winston’s question meant, Ayame answered, “The discovery route. I’m ready to complete the game.”

Winston wasn’t surprised by Ayame’s answer since he already expected it. After all, if a player successfully becomes top 1 in the survival route, they wouldn’t be able to receive a higher quality reward unless they choose the discovery route or become a live streamer.

In Ayame’s case, she chose both the discovery route and the reward quality increase from being a live streamer. She wanted to maximize her rewards as much as possible so that she could at least catch up with her brother.

After receiving Ayame’s answer, Winston commanded, “Drive to my house. After we take all of the weapons there, we’ll leave this part of the city and find the laboratory where the zombie virus originated from.”

“I don’t know where the laboratory is so we’ll have to find and discover its location.”

Knowing where Winston’s house was, Ayame drove the car there even if Winston didn’t tell her where his house was located. It was just a minor test Winston did to determine whether Ayame really knew him and as expected, she didn’t disappoint him.

After several minutes of driving, Ayame parked the car outside the gate of Winston’s mansion.

Unlike before, Ayame and Winston didn’t encounter any of those gangsters who were about to break into Winston’s house. After all, Ayame and Winston had arrived at the mansion a lot earlier than in the previous game session.

After parking the car, Ayame and Winston left the car while Bianca stayed inside the car, waiting for the two of them. Ayame and Winston opened the gate and entered the mansion, heading to the armory in Winston’s mansion.

Just a few minutes later, Ayame and Winston returned. All of the guns and weapons in Winston’s mansion were stored in Ayame’s space storage bracelet. Already confirming that Ayame was indeed his ally, Winston didn’t mind entrusting the guns and weapons to her.

After the two of them returned, they entered the car with the usual seating arrangement.

Sitting in the driver seat, Ayame didn’t ignite the engine yet and instead, she asked, “From what I know, F-rank zombies will evolve to E-rank a week from now. Do you have any suggestions, Winston?”

Hearing Ayame’s question, Winston contemplated before answering, “Although I don’t know which laboratory the zombie virus originated from, we can still visit every laboratory in this city-state until we find the right one.”

“I suggest we drive west.”
