Data acquisition continued

*Do read the author note.*

"That's impossible!" Gengxin shouted before suddenly remembering another notice he had actually ignored with disbelief. "So that was true?"

"What?" 

"When you reached Tier 2, the system said it can no longer limit your senses. We thought it was an error, so we reset it and thought that was that. You also didn't do anything much as we feared the disconnect would worsen, so you never encountered it."

"Wait, what are you saying?" Eldrian asked, not at all remembering such a message. 

"I am not too sure, we will need to get Joren to help check what is going on. The system said it was collecting data, what else did it say?"

"That I can't log out... And that pain is also part of the collection." Hearing this Gengxin started cursing as he was reminded of what the others told him when they just made the simulation. Soon confirming it when Joren arrived. 

"How long will it take?" Gengxin asked after their discussion.
