Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Gu Shengge's Dream Return to Earth, Force-Fed “Ollie Give”!
“Is this… a hospital?”
In the white ward filled with the smell of disinfectant, Gu Shengge looked at the familiar yet somewhat strange furnishings around him, as well as the electronic equipment, a faint surprise appearing in his eyes.
He then looked down at himself; he was wearing a patient gown, very thin, with an IV needle in his left hand, and a bottle of medicine hanging beside him.
“Is this the trial the Legacy Tower is giving me?”
Gu Shengge murmured, but why a hospital? Could the Legacy Tower read his memories?
But his Sea of Consciousness was protected by the Heart-Nature Divine Tree and the jade disc of creation, so how did the Legacy Tower manage it?
Gu Shengge propped up his weak body, leaned against the headboard, and tried to communicate with the jade disc of creation, but there was no response.
Even it didn't react, is this Legacy Tower that powerful?
This made Gu Shengge's Heart-Nature sink; it seemed this trial was not simple!
Immediately, he reached out and pressed the call button.
Although he still didn't know what kind of trial the Legacy Tower was giving him, he couldn't just think without acting; he would take it as it came.
A moment later, the ward door was knocked, and then an intern nurse walked in.
Seeing Gu Shengge awake, her small face broke into a smile, and she quickly said, “You’re awake, how do you feel? Is there anything uncomfortable, are you hungry?”
Gu Shengge: “I feel fine, just a bit hungry. By the way, how long was I unconscious?”
“From the end of your surgery until now, you’ve been unconscious for thirty-seven hours. It’s normal to be hungry. Please wait a moment, I’ll have someone bring you a bowl of porridge later. Although the surgery has been done for a while, you still can’t eat too much.”
As she spoke, the young nurse took out her phone and called someone to send a bowl of porridge first.
Suddenly, she thought of something else and continued, “I almost forgot to notify your parents. Please wait, I’ll have the hospital call your parents and tell them you’re awake.”
“Parents?” Gu Shengge was slightly stunned.
He was an orphan on Earth, where would he get parents? This Legacy Tower was too imprecise.
“Well, you lost too much Bloodline in the car accident, and at that time, the hospital happened to be short of your Bloodline type, so they called on hospital staff to donate Bloodline for you. A couple was undergoing a physical examination at the hospital at the time, and the wife’s Bloodline type matched yours, so we wanted to ask her to donate Bloodline. However, because subsequent matching showed she was a direct relative, we switched to Bloodline from other medical staff.”
“Afterward, we found out you were an orphan, and that couple turned out to be your biological parents. It must be said, this is a blessing in disguise for you; finding your parents, I’m truly envious!”
After listening to the young nurse’s explanation, a hint of surprise flashed in Gu Shengge’s eyes.
It really was… a melodramatic plot!
Watching the young nurse leave, Gu Shengge fell into thought.
The Legacy Tower arranged a pair of parents for him; could it be that it thought he once longed for Family affection, and this was the trial?
So how was he to pass the trial? To kill his relatives to attain the Dao? Or to comprehend Family affection?
More than half an hour later, a couple walked into the ward. Gu Shengge put the empty porridge bowl aside and looked at the parents arranged for him by the Legacy Tower.
The parents were exquisitely dressed. The middle-aged man had an extraordinary demeanor, wearing a tailor-made exquisite suit, carrying an unusual aura. There was indeed some resemblance to him in his brows, along with a hint of majesty, clearly indicating he was someone who had long held a high position.
The beautiful woman, on the other hand, wore a cheongsam, well-maintained and full of nobility. One could tell at a glance that she was the matriarch of a large Family, cultivated by a prominent Family. Although her face showed urgency, her movements remained composed.
After observing them, Gu Shengge secretly thought that the Legacy Tower had indeed arranged a prominent background for him.
Seeing Gu Shengge awake, the noblewoman’s face lit up with joy, and she said caringly, “Son, you’re finally awake. Is there anything else uncomfortable? I’ll have the doctor give you another full body examination.”
Gu Shengge: “You are?”
“I’m your mother. Mom knows you must have many questions. Listen, Mom will tell you…”
The noblewoman sat beside him, took Gu Shengge’s hand, and patiently began to tell him about his background.
The noblewoman was named Yu Meilin, and the middle-aged man was named Gu Tianhao, the chairman of Shengtian Group.
Nineteen years ago, due to a business competition, they were momentarily careless, leading to a business rival bribing their villa nanny, which resulted in Gu Shengge being abandoned by the nanny.
Afterward, Gu Tianhao defeated his rival, even forcing him to jump off a building, and sent the nanny to prison, but he lost all trace of Gu Shengge.
For all these years, they had been searching for Gu Shengge, but there had been no news.
If it weren’t for Yu Meilin coming to the hospital for her annual Bloodline donation a while ago, they would have had no chance to find their son who had been separated for so many years.
“Old Gu, I told you that the annual Bloodline donation would be useful. Look, didn’t we find our son now?”
After Yu Meilin finished recounting Gu Shengge’s background, she didn't forget to turn to Gu Tianhao and say, and Gu Tianhao nodded repeatedly.
Gu Tianhao looked at Gu Shengge lying on the hospital bed, his face delicate and his figure thin.
According to the information he had investigated, this child grew up in an orphanage. Although he was admitted to Modu University, he didn't even complete half a year before entering society. Now, he worked in a factory, earning a meager salary of a few thousand Qi.
Thinking of this, Gu Tianhao frowned slightly, his expression somber, seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Shengge.
In his opinion, as his son, even if Gu Shengge had been living outside and received the same education as ordinary people, he should have been outstanding. How could he be so mediocre, dropping out of university before even finishing?
If his business rivals found out, they would surely mock him behind his back.
A tiger father with a dog son!
Gu Shengge naturally noticed Gu Tianhao’s unusual behavior.
It seemed this cheap father had some opinions about him.
Gu Shengge: “So, you want to take me back to the Gu Family?”
Yu Meilin nodded, and Gu Tianhao did not object. After all, he was a Gu Family Bloodline. Even if he was not as outstanding as his sisters and younger brother, he could not be left to wander outside.
Gu Shengge also did not refuse. He still needed to figure out what the Legacy Tower’s trial for him was, so he could end it sooner.
Under Gu Tianhao’s arrangements, the hospital conducted another detailed physical examination of Gu Shengge. After confirming there were no major issues, he was discharged.
Inside the Rolls-Royce, Gu Tianhao observed Gu Shengge’s reaction. Seeing that he did not lose his composure despite it being his first time riding in such an Advanced luxury car, he felt a slight satisfaction.
Although his Aptitude was a bit mediocre, his Heart-Nature was excellent, so he wasn't entirely useless.
Gu Shengge looked at the constantly passing scenery outside the window—tall buildings, bustling pedestrians, and traffic lights—a hint of nostalgia on his face.
More than half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce drove into a high-end villa area and finally stopped outside a European-style villa.
As soon as she got out of the car, Yu Meilin remembered her daughter and adopted son and began to instruct:
“Gu Shengge, this is our home. Mom forgot to tell you at the hospital, but you actually have five older sisters and one younger brother. Your younger brother is adopted.”
“After you went missing that year, your father, to comfort me, adopted a boy from the orphanage. When you come home, you must be more accommodating to your younger brother. In all the years you were gone, he was the one who accompanied Mom.”
After hearing this, Gu Shengge suddenly felt that these words sounded a bit familiar!
No! This isn’t that brainless regret-themed Family affection novel plot from Fanqie!
Damn it! Legacy Tower, get out here! How dare you force-feed me “Ollie Give”!
This seat will tear down your broken tower!!

PS: Don’t worry, the trial plot won’t be too long. If you don’t like it, you can skip it and jump directly to Chapter 68.
