234: End of conversation, vegetative state.

“Do I have a reason to lie?” Chen Beixuan said nonchalantly.

The Middle-aged Man was speechless, realizing the problem with his own words.

If the other party was lying, wouldn't it be easily exposed when other players reached Level 100?

Unless the old man in front of them wanted to break ties with them, relying on his higher level to exploit an information gap and trick them.

But whether the old man's words were true or false,

They still had to increase their support to get a second person to Level 100 to verify the truth.

No!

If it was true,

Now was the best time for everyone to enter!

Perhaps at some point in the future, Dragon Country would gain an unprecedented advantage!

The Middle-aged Man's eyes flickered, his heart surging.

He raised Chen Beixuan's importance by another level in his mind; this was a national treasure!

“This information is very important to us. Thank you for telling us the truth. Please feel free to state any needs you have, and we will surely satisfy them.”

The Middle-aged Man grasped Chen Beixuan's hand on the armrest, showing intimacy.

“Please also help our people in the game as much as possible. I represent the entire Dragon Country in thanking you.”

His tone was solemn and sincere, speaking from his heart.

Chen Beixuan had been waiting for these words and replied with a chuckle.

“Of course.”

Then he changed the subject.

“By the way, I hope incidents like United States’s agents trying to assassinate me don’t happen again.”

His current strength was enough for self-preservation, but Xiao Lu was still an ordinary person.

So, risks that could be avoided should still be avoided.

“That’s simple. I’ll have Cold Peak stay here specifically to protect you. His abilities are perfectly suited for it.”

The Middle-aged Man didn’t hesitate at all, pointing to the black-clad man beside him and saying.

“Cold Peak, you will stay here from now on and ensure the safety here, understand?”

“Yes.”

Cold Peak stood at attention.

“Do you have any other requests?” the Middle-aged Man asked.

“Hmm… no.”

Chen Beixuan shook his head.

When money and power were readily available, they became somewhat uninteresting.

It was not as fulfilling as personal strength.

Moreover, at his age, the allure of longevity was far greater than money and power.

Since attributes could be cashed in, perhaps longevity could too.

In Myriad Worlds, the stronger one was, the longer one lived; this was what he should pursue.

After clarifying his goal,

Chen Beixuan felt much lighter.

Then the two sides conversed for a while longer before concluding the conversation.

Having received such important news, the Middle-aged Man would be very busy next. It was certain that the number of Myriad Worlds players would experience a new surge.

Watching the vehicle leave, Cold Peak felt a mix of emotions.

Having followed the chief for so many years, suddenly changing positions was a bit hard to adapt to.

And the target he was protecting was a very strange old man.

Looking at the old man beside him, his Detection ability swept over him repeatedly, yet still yielded nothing.

Cold Peak couldn't help but curse inwardly.

This is truly bizarre…

Is this a human or a ghost…

However, obedience to orders was ingrained in his bones, so for now, he could only get along with him.

“Mr. Chen, please take care of me from now on.”

“No need to be so formal. I trust your professional abilities.”

Although he wanted to ask about his Detection ability, it was their first meeting, so it was better not to scare the other party.

Let's get along for a few days first…

Chen Beixuan turned around and walked towards his villa…

…

Tenglin City.

In a luxurious private hospital.

In a white-filled ward, a sleeping woman lay peacefully, her expression serene.

Beside her sat two glamorously dressed women, their expressions worried and anxious, as if waiting for something.

The three women were Lan Lan, Hua Wu, and Xiao Hudie from the game.

Bang!

The ward door was suddenly pushed open, and in came a man with refined manners but a sinister look on his face.

“Uncle Dong, you’re here.”

The two women’s faces lit up when they saw the newcomer, and they immediately stood up and called out.

Lin Dong looked at Lan Lan on the hospital bed, his brows slightly furrowed.

“What happened? Weren’t you playing Myriad Worlds?”

“We were indeed playing Myriad Worlds, but when we went offline, we found that Lan Lan wouldn’t wake up, no matter how much we called her.”

“We were scared, so we quickly brought her here.”

Recalling the scene at the time, the two women’s faces were still pale, clearly quite frightened.

“Where’s the doctor? What did the doctor say?” Lin Dong asked in a deep voice.

“The doctor said… said…”

“Said what? Damn it, just say it!”

Lin Dong saw the two of them stammering and cursed in a low voice, annoyed.

The two women’s delicate bodies trembled, and they quickly lowered their heads and spoke.

“The doctor said… Lan Lan… is already a vegetative state…”

“A vegetative state?”

Lin Dong raised an eyebrow.

How did playing a game turn someone into a vegetative state?

“Can she still wake up?” he continued to ask.

“The doctor said hope is slim, basically impossible.”

Hearing this, Lin Dong’s furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

“Thank you for bringing her here. I will take care of her for the rest of her life. Let her rest.”

He waved his hand, signaling the two to leave, then called his subordinate and gave instructions.

“Pay the fees under your name. Support her for two years, and after the commotion dies down, find any excuse to deal with it. Don’t let your sister-in-law know, understand?”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother, leave it to me.”

The subordinate nodded and left.

Lin Dong looked at Lan Lan on the bed, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

A vegetative state was good.

Anyway, he was tired of her, and it saved him from paying hush money.

Ding-a-ling—

Suddenly, a call came in.

He answered it and his expression changed slightly.

It was actually someone from Myriad Worlds’ partner, Snow Wolf Guild!

He quickly adjusted his emotions, forced a smile, and answered.

“Hello? Oh, Guild Leader Night Owl, please tell me if you have any instructions.”

“What? My wife?”

“Playing Myriad Worlds? Lan Lan?”

Lin Dong looked confused. How did Lan Lan get involved with the military…

“Uh… Did you make a mistake? My wife isn’t named Lan Lan…”

Night Owl’s cold laugh came from the receiver.

“No? Our people are already downstairs at the hospital. We’ll know if you have one or not.”

Lin Dong was sweating profusely, frantically walking to the window and looking down.

Sure enough, there were several military vehicles parked below!

Beep beep beep…

Listening to the dial tone, Lin Dong was dumbfounded.

It was just a mistress!

Was it necessary!?

His company really couldn’t withstand a thorough investigation…

A femme fatale…

Lin Dong was on the verge of tears.

…

Evening.

Morning Wind City, villa area.

Security monitoring room.

“Thanks, Old Sun. I’ll treat you to a meal when I’m on vacation.”

Hanging up the phone with his comrade from Tenglin Military Region, Night Owl dialed Chen Beixuan.

“The matter you asked me to investigate has been clarified. That woman suddenly became a vegetative state today, and hope of waking up is slim. Do you need us to do anything?”

“A vegetative state…”

Chen Beixuan, who received the call, raised an eyebrow, understanding the situation.

“…You handle it.”

With that, he hung up the phone.

“Absorbing souls leads to becoming a vegetative state in reality… I hadn’t thought of that…”

“Looks like I need to be careful when I act in the future…”

He collected his thoughts.

Thinking of tonight’s National League, his heart surged with excitement.

Radiant-tier weapon, here I come!
