"It’s nothing." Xiao Siyuan wiped his tears and showed a slight smile, "Sotis, confiding in soone about what’s on your mind gives you a sense of relief. I should thank you for being my listener.
But let’s be honest, you really should apologize to . I’ve got a military background, and you actually thought I’d slack off during training?
Next ti I operate on you, no anesthesia!"
"A doctor’s heart is like a parent’s; you wouldn’t do that." Li Zheng pretended to be calm, knowing Xiao Siyuan was quite capable of it, as he’d done so during previous treatnts.
More than once!
Xiao Siyuan mused, "Looks like I’ll have to make Lu Li call grandpa in the future."
"..." Li Zheng pondered for two seconds and said, "Don’t joke about ethics like that."
The two laughed heartily, lightening the somber mood quite a bit.
"Alright, it’s getting late." Xiao Siyuan glanced at the system interface, stood up, and dusted off his pants, "You’re still rushing to clone Yan Guang, aren’t you? Hurry up and go, don’t waste ti here."
"Take care, then." Li Zheng sprang up and walked back to the dwelling with Xiao Siyuan, "I’ve already prepared a dedicated residential area for our batch of players in the Outer City. You’ll appear there directly once promoted to the Outer City.
Confer with Kunlun and Nine Heavens, and work out the fastest promotion strategy. I’ll be waiting for you in the Outer City."
"There are only two things I’m most thankful for in my life." Xiao Siyuan said, "First, I’m very glad I chose to be a military doctor back then, and the second is eting you."
Xiao Siyuan had witnessed Li Zheng’s contributions to the players of Dragon Country. Without Li Zheng’s presence, who knows how chaotic the Matrix would have been.
Days after Li Zheng and his team went to the Outer City, six military groups united against the Starting Point. It was a clue; deducing from it, without soone like Li Zheng, the Matrix would be in utter chaos.
"I’m also very happy to have t such an amazing doctor like you." Li Zheng smiled, pulling Mirel along and asked Zhan Zhouzhou, "Are you staying a few more days, or are you coming with us to the Outer City?"
Zhan Zhouzhou was still annoyed that Li Zheng went to face the six military groups without her. Upon hearing him, she rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Go on by yourself; I’m not wasting my ti on you!"
"Alright, then." Li Zheng shrugged, "We’ll et in three days anyway. It’s good for you to hold the fort here for a few days."
He activated teleport privileges, then suddenly paused and flaunted his ’black hair’ to Zhan Zhouzhou, "How’s this hair? I got it in exchange for side effects. You’d regret it if you ca killing with ."
And with that, not waiting for Zhan Zhouzhou to respond, he vanished with Mirel.
As soon as he left, everyone else sighed in relief. Only then did two Kunlun warriors dare to speak, "What was that earlier? After he killed, his expression and attitude didn’t change, but standing before him made my heart race uncontrollably."
"Yes, especially when he flipped his hair; I felt like I saw countless ghosts writhing and screaming in it—scared !"
"Huh? Wait! Wasn’t the boss bald at first? How did he suddenly grow such long hair, reaching his waist?"
"His eyebrows didn’t grow though, still bare."
"Ahem!"
Xiao Siyuan deliberately cleared his throat to remind the two Kunlun warriors to mind their words. Turning around, they saw Lin Fengjiao and Zhan Zhouzhou glaring at them, prompting them to shut up imdiately.
"Uh-huh, I’m going to pee!"
"Yeah, let’s go together!"
The two fled awkwardly to the side.
Xiao Siyuan pondered for a mont and said, "When I was sitting beside Li Zheng just now, I vaguely heard whispering sounds from him. Maybe it’s that black hair of his playing tricks."
"No maybe; it’s definitely the hair." Zhan Zhouzhou said seriously, "I can sense imnse dread from those strands, unsettling and bizarre."
Lin Fengjiao speculated, "Could it be from killing too many?"
Xiao Siyuan and Zhan Zhouzhou exchanged glances and nodded simultaneously, "Probably."
The three shared a concern.
Li Zheng, escorting Mirel, didn’t return directly to the Outer City but randomly teleported to a room, attempting to contact the terminal directly.
To reach the Central Hub area, only the terminal’s personal guidance would work, or entry would be impossible.
anwhile, he cleared up his private ssages, worrying about missing any crucial information.
He saw a deduction from Ye Kai; Mirel’s charm ability was indeed similar to a but wasn’t identical. If it truly were -like, it wouldn’t fail just by covering the face.
Besides, with slightly stronger spiritual power, hearing Mirel speak wouldn’t influence one with charm.
It’s actually a passive spiritual ability; the trigger is just broader.
After casually chatting with Ye Kai, Li Zheng opened another private ssage, sent by Phoenix Mountain after he left.
"Old Li, if Yan Guang’s cloning fails, don’t tell . Bury her sowhere and don’t tell the location, just let have sothing to hold onto."
Li Zheng quietly read it; without replying, he deleted it.
Whether it’s self-deception or an act of bravery, at least Phoenix Mountain had started learning to let go.
Other ssages from people didn’t matter much. Li Zheng looked through them but didn’t see any from Liu Jiale, sighing inwardly.
So people, despite having crossed paths, will eventually part ways due to various reasons.
He didn’t reach out to Liu Jiale, deleted the remaining private ssages from unfamiliar nas, and called out the terminal’s na, "Terminal, I need to go to the Central Hub!"
No response...
"Terminal! I need to go to the Central Hub!"
Still no response...
"Main... body, take to the Central Hub!"
Still no response...
"Weird, why is it ignoring now?" Li Zheng scratched his head, assuming the terminal’s temperant should be similar to his and shouldn’t be so petty.
After a mont, a line of text suddenly appeared in front of him, sent by the terminal.
[You’re quite rude; not saying ’please’ when asking for help is one thing, but you can’t even bother to call out my na?]
"Na?" Li Zheng was stunned; the terminal really was petty!
