Chapter 2: Crisis! Brainwash!

Firstly, he had transmigrated to Voyage. This place was full of crises and monsters. But at the same time, there were also many opportunities. As long as he survived, he would become a gaming giant.
Secondly, it had been 100 years since Voyage had been established. There were another two years left before this place would connect to the real world. By then, countless monsters would appear there.
Thirdly, which was the most significant point of all, he was currently in a dangerous situation! Elrond was feeling helpless because when other people transmigrated, they would usually have a normal start.
As for him?
He simply could not bear to look.
Elrond did not own the ability to resurrect. He only had one life, and it would be a pity if he died here.
“I should keep calm and take things as they come. For now, I can only take one step at a time,” Elrond thought to himself.
No matter what he was, if he did not want to die heroically, it was necessary to find a way to survive.
It would take another two years before the crisis happened, so he could still make preparations now.
It was the only good news that made him heartened.
Elrond asked in a hoarse voice, “Who are you?”
“Hmm? There seems to be a deviation in the memory?” The woman’s eyebrows rose.
“Sideria stimulates the brain, so memory loss is a normal reaction,” Henry York said with narrowed eyes. Elrond gradually adapted to the light.
“Helen Harry, the Director of this place.” The red-haired beauty stared at Elrond, waved her hand, and said, “Bring him for a blood test. I want to see the report immediately!”
Two elite guards moved forward expressionlessly. Clamping Elrond’s arms on both sides, they dragged him out.
Elrond was sent to the laboratory to have his blood tested.
If his memory did not fail him, Helen Harry was the Executive Officer of the New Life Organization now. She was an E-class psionic and had three black holes worth of aura.
There were a total of five setups in the Voyage system. Psychics Class, Knights Class, Mechanics Class, Mages Class, and Object Control Class. These were the main job classes in Voyage. One could take up one of these job classes by studying the occupation handbook.
Not long after, the blood test report was out.
Helen Harry took the information from Henry York and frowned slightly. “There is no abnormality in the blood test.”
Henry York responded, “Test Subject Zero is a little different from the other subjects. I suggest that we dissect him directly.”
Helen Harry waved her hand to stop him. “Test Subject Zero is the only living subject we have at the moment. It has a significant role to play, so we need to keep it under observation for now.”
Elrond rolled his eyes. Perhaps he could make good use of this identity.
Henry York disagreed with Helen Harry. It was such good material. It would be a pity if he could not study it to his heart’s content.
“The safety of Test Subject Zero must be guaranteed.” Helen Harry narrowed her cold eyes and said, “Brainwash it to ensure its loyalty to the organization.”
Brainwash?
Elrond’s heart sank. Brainwashing was a common method to control subordinates. The players who were successfully brainwashed would automatically join their camp.
If the brainwashing process succeeded, he would become a walking corpse.
He would lose his consciousness and the ability to take action on his own.
It was absolutely intolerable!
No matter what, he could not allow them to brainwash him successfully.
Elrond forced himself to calm down. He owned the system, which had a powerful ability, so there must be some way for him to get out of this.
“Take him to be brainwashed.”
Helen Harry waved her hand and left the room.
Two solemn-looking armed guards clamped him on both sides and shifted him to another room with various complicated mechanical instruments inside.
After he entered the special room, Elrond asked quietly in his mind. “System, is there any way to stop them from brainwashing me successfully?”
The system’s voice soon rang in his head. “The system can disguise the Supreme Gaming Cabin as a brainwashing machine. In this way, you can avoid being brainwashed.”
Elrond was glad to hear this news. The system was indeed his closest pal.
Elrond was finally relieved after obtaining assurance from the system.
The door opened up with a loud bang again. Helen Harry turned to Henry York and asked, “Is the brainwashing device ready?”
“The debugging process has completed,” said Henry York, pointing to the apparatus in the room.
But, the brainwashing device was the Supreme Gaming Cabin in disguise.
Not only would Elrond not be brainwashed, but he would also grow stronger after entering the device.
Helen Harry nodded and said, “Start the brainwashing procedure.”
Henry York shot a look at the two guards behind him.
The two guards comprehended his meaning and put Elrond on the device.
After Henry York finished with the adjustments, he looked at Helen Harry inquiringly.
Seeing her consent, he turned on the device to start the brainwashing process.
Thump… The machine gave off a buzzing sound as it started running.
However, it was not their brainwashing device that was operating, but Elrond’s Supreme Gaming Cabin.
Lying on the Supreme Gaming Cabin, Elrond felt a constant, warm current filling his body.
From head to toe, every cell, every pore, and every hair in his body was moving excitedly.
This strange feeling was rather magical. It was as if the body was resetting itself.
Elrond had never felt this way before.
The warm current filled his entire body, and it was extremely comfortable.
But at this time, he put on a painful expression on his face. If he were to show that he was enjoying himself, it would make his enemies suspicious.
Under the Supreme Gaming Cabin’s modification, Elrond’s body underwent drastic changes.
Henry York stopped the device at this moment. He assumed that the brainwashing process was already completed.
At this moment, the system’s voice rang, and Elrond’s personal interface reflected the updated changes.

When Elrond saw the updated information on the personal interface, he felt extremely excited.
He had laid in the Supreme Gaming Cabin for only 30 minutes and had already developed so much power.
With his current strength, he estimated that he should be able to fight against the two guards.
As for Helen Harry, Elrond did not even dare to think about it.
After all, there was still a big gap between the both of them.
Elrond looked at the aura stats and found that it was already at 99 points.
Aura was the core item in Voyage, and it was the foundation for all job classes.
Without aura, one would never become a genuine psionic.
No matter if it was in terms of fighting or manufacturing, aura was always crucial.
The amount of aura represented the strength of the user.
For players with less than 100 points of aura, it represented that they were entry-level psionics.
For those whose aura points were 100 and above, that meant that one had already stepped into the doors of becoming a psionic.
