Lin Luoer dragged the luggage via the handle and entered into the largest hospital in the city,
The empty hall resounded only with the sound of herself. Not long after, she entered into the elevator and pressed the button indicating Level 7. The elevator doors closed and it started moving upwards.
Not long after, the elevator had reached Level 7 and Lin Luoer walked out of it, dragging the luggage in her hand.
There was no one to be seen in the long corridor. The white light illuminated the entire place.
Lin Luoer arrived at the Nurse Working Counter and realized that the two nurses had already fallen asleep on the table.
Lin Luoer did not disturb them and turned right around the corner, continuing inwards. Not long after, she arrived at the door of a sick bay and stopped.
She softly placed her luggage back near the wall by the door and did a few weird facial movements as if she wanted to conceal the tainted feelings on her face. Then, she put up a relaxed and happy demeanour and opened the door of the sickbay and entered inside quietly.
Inside the sick bay, a middle aged woman lay asleep on the sick bed. Around her, some fruits had been placed, while the other two beds were empty.
The light in the room was a dull, sleeping light. Lin Luoer came next to her mother’s bed and sat down. Looking at the weary facial complexion of her sick mother, Lin Luoer felt agony and pain in her heart.
Whenever she saw such circumstances, Lin Luoer would naturally have the urge to earn lots of money, so that she could erase all the unhappiness and arduous things in her life.
Yet, how could a female student like her earn that much money ?
There were literally no walkable paths elft. Now, it seemed that Heaven was the only option. Because it had enabled the free exchange of game credits with actual currency, igniting hope in many individuals.
Her mother, who was lying on the sickbed, seemed to sense the presence of others. Painfully, she moved a little and forced open her eyes.
“Luoer, why are you here?” Her mother appeared stunned. Her physical appearance resembled Luoer. One could tell that she was also a beauty when she was young.
“I miss you. Binhai City isn’t very far from here. It takes just 1 hour to arrive here by taking the super electromagnetic train.” Lin Luoer picked up an apple and started peeling it.
“It’s already so late, there must be something that you want to tell me right?” Lin Luoer’s mother could sense that her daughter had some troubles in her heart.
Lin Luoer paused for a while and nodded. “Mum, I have decided, I don’t want to continue my university education.”
Lin Luoer’s mother’s eyes enlarged slightly. “Why? You are studying at a prestigious institution.”
“So what if it’s a prestigious institution. There are many people who come out of university, unable to find their dream job.”
Lin Luoer’s mother shook her head, appearing to disagree with her daughter. She did not express her disapproval, but asked the core question, “If you say so, does that mean you have found a stable job?”
Lin Luoer nodded her head.
“Yes.” She passed the peeled apple to her mother.
“I’m not hungry, you can have it. What kind of job is it ?”
“It’s a game…”
“Heaven?” Unexpectedly, her mother already knew of the game.
“Yup, many of my classmates have all gone to play this game. It’s a very different game. It’s revolutionary. Our world is going to experience revolutionary changes.”
“Revolutionary changes ?”
“Yes, I don’t know how to explain the details at the moment. I came here just to inform you of my decision. We are all very clear of what the situation is at home now. I don’t have the motivation to continue studying. Mum, I don’t want to lose this opportunity.”
Lin Luoer’s mother looked at her daughter with overflowing compassion from her weak and fragile facial demeanour. She was clear that her medical expenses were the greatest burden for her daughter.
“Where are you going to work?”
“Yuanjing. There was a boss who was recruiting. I’ve secured a job. The pay will probably be at least 10,000.” Lin Luoer was unsure how much Chu You would give her but based on what Chu You had said to her, she would have a monthly salary of no less than 10,000 yuan.
“Luoer, you have never bluffed to me before. Are you really speaking the truth?” Her mother was extremely worried that her daughter would use this as a reason to do inappropriate stuff.
Lin Luoer nodded. “Of course, or else I wouldn’t have come over to talk to you about this directly.”
In the eyes of Lin Luoer’s mother, Lin Luoer was a very diligent and mature child. Lin Luoer was not someone her mother needed to be overly concerned about but because the situation at hand was not a small issue, Lin Luoer’s mother had no choice but to put in extra care and think it through properly.
“What company is that ?”
Recalling the name of the company that Chu You had told her, Lin Luoer uttered the name of the company.
“That’s truly a big company.”
“Mum, so you’ve agreed?” Lin Luoer took a small bite of the apple.
Her mother did not reply. She remained silent and sighed softly a while later.
“In that case, I am going to tell my boss then. He’s still waiting for my reply in the game. I will sleep with you tonight, and probably return back to Yuanjing tomorrow.” As she said so, Lin Luoer walked over to the door and dragged her luggage inside. She opened it and retrieved the gaming helmet from within.
“Is that the gaming helmet for Heaven?” As she looked at Lin Luoer fiddling with the fantasy design helmet in her hands, Lin Luoer’s mother exclaimed.
Plugging in the power source, Lin Luoer rested on the empty bed beside her mother.
“Yes, Mother, I’m entering the game.” After she said so, she donned the gaming helmet that had already been activated.
…
Chu You had already consumed all the honey and the experience that he had gained from it made him level up to Level 9. He was left with one more level to go, then he would probably be the first person to change his occupation in Heaven. Thinking of this, Chu You was elated. The title and pride would finally belong to him!
Looking at his red name, Chu You believed that the red name status would disappear once he reached level 10.
Although he thought so, Chu You did not move and continued to remain at the place where he had killed Flying Sparrow Zhao, because he was waiting for someone.
Not long after, a player appeared in his line of sight. Behind the player followed several monsters. That player was the person Chu You was waiting for, Kill Leader.
Immediately, Chu You went over to help, and drew all the hatred and animosity of the monsters to himself and started slaying them.
Looking at his muscular boss who was emitting red fumes, Kill Leader was naturally shocked. What a professional and supreme boss. Chu You was only left with 1 level before he would change his occupation. How did he even level up so quickly? Even though Kill leader was new to the game, he had done a lot of preparatory work beforehand, and was very clear how difficult it was to level up in Heaven, which had the prestige of being the “Second World.”
In a short while, Chu You eliminated all 3 level 7 monsters. Chu You came beside Kill Leader and said, “You are good. You didn’t disappoint. You dared to come to Level 7 even though you are still at Level 0.”
“Haha, thanks for praising me, boss. Without you, I would have died.” Even though he was filled with self-confidence and pride, Kill Leader started to flatter Chu You.
Chu You waved his hand and immediately sent a transaction request over. “I have lots of gear here. Take it, arm yourself with those that are suitable. Sell all those that you don’t need. Oh yeah, also, don’t sell the Granny Gear.”
After they had completed the transaction, Chu You’s backspace became much emptier.
“Boss, why did you give me 10,000 gold credits?” Kill Leader saw that Chu You had not only passed him gear, but even gave him 10,000 gold credits.
“I will tell you the coordinates. Once you have levelled up to Level 6, you can slay monsters at the Bee’s Nest.” Chu You told Kill Leader the honey exchange mission that he knew of. “From that old man, you can level up 2 levels if you have gold coins.”
Level up two levels? From Level 7 to Level 9? How much experience would that take? How much time would that save? Kill Leader was shocked once again.
“That’s why I recruited people to help me get information. To me, information is the top factor of production. It’s not necessary to have a lot of gold coins to exchange for the mission. Once the 19 others have reached level 7, you can give them some of the gold credits.” Only by helping others would Chu You be able to gather noble followers by building on mutual relationships.
“Thank you Boss.” Kill Leader was touched.
“Okay, go back then.”
Seeing that the other party had used the Return City skill, Chu You, holding his weapon, started to sprint even further inwards, in hopes that he would be able to accomplish the change of occupation by levelling up to level 10 as soon as possible.
Just as Chu You was running halfway, a message notification came through.
Chu You opened his messenger, and realised that Lin Luoer was online. At such a time, what was she thinking?
“Chu You, I have thought it through.” Lin Luoer sounded anxious.
“Okay, say it.” As he stared at the path in front while noticing the surroundings through the corner of his eye, Chu You replied without slowing down.
“I have decided to be with you.”
Hearing that, Chu You was pleased. A future gold level granny had accepted his olive branch offer.
“Erm, so when are you coming over?”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t have any issues here, the faster the better.”
“Okay, what’s your address?”
Chu You had arrived at the Level 8 arena and he told her his address.
Lin Luoer felt a little scared when she saw that the address she had to go to was a villa.
“A villa?”
“Is that a problem?” Chu You had a plan for where he would stay in the future. However, he had to put those plans aside for the time being and focus on building up his initial fundamentals in the game before he could take time off to arrange things up in reality. In any case, the villa he was living at was not owned by him.
“Okay then, I’m coming over tomorrow.” Lin Luoer knew that she was going to have to live and eat with him in the Gaming Facility, hence she felt a little worried.
“Okay, are you still playing the game? I can ask another person to come over, you guys can team up.” Chu You thought of Kill Leader. If both of these professionals were united together, wouldn’t they be much more efficient?
“Nope it’s alright. I was just here to convey my thoughts. I’m going offline now.”
“Alright then, have a good rest.” At that moment, Chu You had already arrived at the Level 9 monster arena.
…
“How is it going?” Her mother had not slept. Seeing that her daughter had removed the helmet, she asked this.
“It’s settled, I’m going over tomorrow.”
“Yuanjing is far from here. Take good care of yourself, and don’t go too hard on yourself.”
“Yup, I’ve grown up, mum. Don’t be worried about me.”
Without having any more concerns behind her mind, she could now completely immerse herself in the game. Uncontrollably, Lin Luoer clenched her fists beneath the blanket.
