62: Chapter 62 Head of Nadi; The Main God Receives Payment

Inside the single hospital room.

Hu Gualing was lying on the bed, chatting in group chats. As for the ten nursing staff, he had sent them away; those who wanted to rest could go rest, and those who were truly bursting with energy could go to other wards to take care of the elderly who had no one to look after them.

At this moment, there was a knock at the door: "Dong, dong, dong."

"Is Hu Gualing there?" a somewhat impatient male voice asked from outside the door.

Upon hearing this voice, Hu Gualing subconsciously turned off his phone screen and tucked it under his pillow.

Suddenly, he felt something was off.

"I'm not working the night shift, so what's there to be afraid of just playing on my phone?"

Thinking this, Hu Gualing openly took his phone back out, turned his head toward the door, and said, "Please, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hospital room door was pushed open.

The middle-aged male doctor at the door saw him and seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He said into the phone, "He's doing fine, nothing's wrong," then walked quickly to the bedside and handed the phone over: "It's your call."

Hu Gualing took the phone, feeling a bit confused.

How could his call have gone to this doctor he didn't even know?

He looked down and saw that the phone screen indeed showed a call in progress, and the last four digits of the caller's number were actually four 6s.

Who could this be?

"Hurry up and answer it!" the doctor couldn't help but urge him.

"Oh, oh, okay, okay," Hu Gualing foolishly raised the phone to his ear, "Hello..."

He had barely said "Hello" when he heard an angry voice on the other end of the line.

"Hu Gualing, why did you turn off your phone when you're perfectly fine? Don't you know how many people are looking for you? They've even called me, for f***'s sake!!"

Hu Gualing realized it was that guy General Manager Wu Jinkai.

No wonder; only he could get a flashy number with four 6s at the end.

But turning it off... Hu Gualing then remembered that after making headlines today, waves of calls had been coming in. There were reporters wanting interviews, security companies asking him to be an instructor, and the most ridiculous one... someone claiming to be from a Shaolin branch, asking him to endorse their martial arts school.

He didn't know where these people got his number.

One could only say that personal privacy leaks were too severe nowadays.

However, he thought that one shouldn't get carried away just because of a little fame, so at first, he was very polite, politely declining them with kind words before hanging up.

But as soon as he hung up, the next call would come in.

Later on, there were even two or three calls coming in at the same time. Never mind answering them; the constant vibration of the phone was giving him a headache, and he was afraid of breaking his Dami Phone, which he hadn't even used for two years.

So, he simply switched to airplane mode and connected to the hospital's WiFi, and sure enough, he could happily play on his phone again.

He just didn't expect these people to be able to get through to General Manager Wu Jinkai.

Was it really necessary?

Hu Gualing said into the phone, "General Manager Wu, they were all just spam calls, don't take it to heart..."

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by General Manager Wu Jinkai again.

"What spam calls? Do you know who called me? It's the representative from Nadi! Turn your phone on immediately!"

Hu Gualing was stunned for a moment, then turned off airplane mode, full of confusion. "Alright, I can receive calls now."

"Good, wait for Nadi's call!" General Manager Wu Jinkai said before hanging up.

Hu Gualing returned the phone to the doctor, but he couldn't figure it out in his heart...

Nadi? He was certainly no stranger to this name; the shoes under his bed happened to be Nadi sneakers.

But why would Nadi call him? He had only bought this one pair of Nadi shoes in several years, and he didn't have a membership card, so even if there were member promotions, it wouldn't be his turn.

Furthermore, a member promotion wouldn't make General Manager Wu Jinkai so excited.

So, in that case, did Nadi have something important to discuss with him?

Just as Hu Gualing was thinking about it, his Dami Phone started to vibrate. He looked at the caller ID, and it was indeed "Nadi China".

He answered the call and cautiously said, "Hello..."

On the other end of the line was a calm male voice.

"Hello, Mr. Hu Gualing, I am the representative of Nadi in China. We were deeply moved after learning of your heroic deeds... and we happened to see in your interview video that there is a pair of Nadi sneakers under your bed. Therefore, we presume you are not opposed to our Nadi brand. We would like to prepare one pair of every style of Nadi sneakers and gift them to you, to express the respect of everyone at Nadi... So, would it be convenient to tell us your shoe size?"

"..."

Hu Gualing was a bit bewildered.

A dignified Nadi representative, going through so much trouble just to gift a few pairs of shoes?

Was it worth General Manager Wu Jinkai being in such a rush?

However, this representative had a good attitude, and his voice sounded pleasant.

A few pairs of shoes are just a few pairs of shoes; it's fine to accept them.

Anyway, how does that saying go... It's the thought that counts.

Nadi's gesture was still quite touching to him.

Fantasy Jianghu.

Tang Yao unloaded a backpack full of pig feed and turned in the quest to the Pig Keeper.

Not only did she receive 200 copper coins, but the experience bar for her [Harvesting] skill also moved forward a little, filling in the final gap.

A flash of golden light.

System Notification: Your [Harvesting] skill has leveled up to 10.

System Notification: After long-term labor, your physical fitness has improved; Agility +2, Stamina +2.

System Notification: Through long-term Harvesting, you have comprehended [One-Handed Sword Mastery] and [Scimitar Mastery].

Tang Yao picked up the sickle and swung it, feeling as if it were an extension of her arm.

And she didn't know if it was just a psychological factor, but she felt her movements were indeed a bit faster. Perhaps this was the effect of the increased Agility?

However, none of this was the most important thing.

She used the sickle to write and draw on the ground, repeatedly calculating her current silver and fantasy points.

Enough! She had finally scraped together 100...

"Old Village Chief, I want to buy land!" Tang Yao found the village chief and exchanged all her fantasy points for silver.

"Very well, Dreamer." The Old Village Chief waved his hand to collect the silver and produced a land deed. "Welcome to officially becoming a member of Xiao Huang Village."

Tang Yao accepted the land deed, a happy smile appearing on her face.

With this, her house could finally start construction!

Meanwhile, in the Main God Space, a huge sum of money arrived.

Xiao Wan danced with joy: [It's only been a few days, Tang Yao is truly amazing! Master, you are truly amazing too!]

[With these main god points, we can recruit five players at once!]

[Surpassing Genshin is just around the corner!]

A smile also appeared on Chen Mo's face.

However, he shook his head at Xiao Wan's daydreams.

"No, we cannot recruit players yet."

"The top priority is to expand the space and perfect the game."

In a place where neither players nor villagers could see.

Outside the village, in the dark Void Realm, yellow soil began to coalesce...
