Time ticked away second by second.
Mason Gray's excitement gradually faded.
With less than 30 minutes left until the game maintenance began, why hadn't the hidden occupation storyline started yet?
Mason Gray looked around and noticed a one-way mirror on the wall.
It seemed that someone was hiding behind the one-way mirror, staring at him.
To prevent any accidental character deaths during the game maintenance, Mason Gray opened the game interface and selected the log-out button.
But he couldn't log out!
The logout button was grayed out!
A message in the game stated that he was in the middle of a hidden occupation plot, and the logout function had been disabled.
As a sophisticated large-scale virtual reality game, "Starry Sea" also provided players with a physical offline method.
That was to physically remove the helmet in reality.
This method would trigger a forced logout penalty, freezing the character for 1 day.
