599: Chapter 12: Six Degrees of Separation 599: Chapter 12: Six Degrees of Separation Beep, beep, beep…
The electroencephalogram machine emitted regular sounds, but pared to these regular sounds, the images it displayed were quite chaotic.
“…The patient retains only some instinctive neural reflexes and the ability to metabolize substances and energy, but has pletely lost cognitive function, with no voluntary activity whatsoever.” The doctor looked at Lan Kai, who was silent in the room, and finally said helplessly, “General Lan, your brother is now pletely in a vegetative state.”
Lan Kai’s gaze lingered on Lan Xiu’s face.
Because of the transition to a new, advanced ward, the nurse had cleaned Lan Xiu’s body and equipment well, making him look somewhat fresher, “Can he ever e back to his senses?”
“Well…
to be honest, for this type of patient, the global medical munity probably can’t give you a definitive answer either.” The doctor looked at this young entrepreneur with some trepidation.
He was not the original doctor who took over Lan Xiu’s case.
Instead, he was specially assigned by the hospital after they learned about Lan Xiu’s identity, supposedly the best specialist in the hospital.
“But rest assured, General Lan, we will do our utmost to care for your brother.”
“Understood.”
Lan Kai nodded, walked up to Lan Xiu, squinted his eyes, and after a while, gently moved Lan Xiu’s hair, leaned over, and said calmly in his ear: “You really don’t want to wake up, do you?
But perhaps it’s better this way, maybe for you, this is better…”
In the end, Lan Kai looked at the doctor and instructed, “Remember, besides me, don’t let anyone know he’s here.”
“General Lan, how about sending him to the new sanatorium?” the doctor suggested at this moment, “The environment there is relatively quiet and the air is good, your brother would certainly receive the best care.”
Of course, it’s the best…
after all, the sanatorium is developed in cooperation with Lan Kai.
“Do as you say.”
Lan Kai nodded, took one last look at Lan Xiu, and then turned to leave.

“Xiaobao!
Let’s go eat, where to?”
In the bureau’s canteen, Xiaobao was hurrying out with his lunch, when a colleague spotted him and quickly called out.
Xiaobao shook his head and laughed, “Next time, next time, I’m a bit busy!
Sorry!”
“No worries.” The colleague from the adjacent department just smiled…
Everyone knew that Xiaobao had indeed been having a tough time recently, reportedly not leaving for four or five days.
But, was it really that busy?
The colleague glanced at Officer Ma, who was leisurely reading a newspaper in the canteen…
Typically, when Officer Ma appeared like this, it meant everything was peaceful currently, right?
Xiaobao was indeed very busy, but it wasn’t work-related.
Just having returned to his office, Xiaobao shut the door, pulled the curtains over his seat, and eagerly launched “Emerald Fantasy.”
Hmm, how should I put it?
Could it be that recently, after somehow meeting a big shot, those difficult missions or daily dungeons could basically be won effortlessly?
For someone without any expenditure in the game, it’s simply the greatest joy?
Xiaobao: “Boss, sorry, the canteen is crowded, it took ages to queue for food!
Today eating…”
Qianxiu: “What you eat has nothing to do with me!”
Xiaobao: “Then I’ll set auto-follow mode and eat first.
Oh…
‘Baham Dragon’ has updated, I’ll take a look first~”
Qianxiu: “…”
Yet this feeling…
isn’t unpleasant.
Qianxiu didn’t mind Xiaobao’s behavior.
Although he was quite chatty, he was never late in replenishing status, as if he timed it perfectly.
He didn’t boss around, nor did he grovel, though he called someone a big boss continuously, it sounded more like a tease, and he was even perfectly clear about his thoughts, like a versatile assistant.
In reality…
did such people exist too?
Qianxiu silently hacked and slew the monsters that appeared in front of him, and while slaying them, he could hear Xiaobao’s voice: “That’s enough, head to Ice River.”
No need to look at task progress himself.
Really…
not unpleasant.
…
The player “Qian Yu Xian Rou” used a server-wide horn…
Xiaobao suddenly said: “This guy, here again?
I already told her, that’s not how you find someone.”
Qianxiu paused, frowning, “You know this player?”
Xiaobao said: “Sort of?
Isn’t she a celebrity?
A few days ago, while bored, I saw her spamming the horn, so I messaged and hooked up a bit.”
Qianxiu: “You…
succeeded?”
Xiaobao replied: “Not really successful?
She seems to respond to everyone who messages her proactively.
If you think about it, she’s so eager to find this blue sky, she probably wouldn’t leave anyone who messages her out, right?”
Qianxiu: “I see…
what did you chat about?”
Xiaobao shrugged and said: “Just small chat, what else?
Boss, you want to meet her too?
Just poke her directly, she’s the type who’ll respond whenever poked.”
Qianxiu: “Where are we heading next?”
Xiaobao: “Let me see, heading to…”
After that, Qianxiu didn’t speak much again.
But Xiaobao didn’t mind…
this boss had a lot of silent moments.
Perhaps it’s because he was used to Chief Qin also being very quiet, making Xiaobao unexpectedly accustomed to such situations.
After replenishing Qianxiu’s status again, Xiaobao yawned in front of the puter…
probably because he started feeling drowsy after lunch.
“This guy is still spamming the horn…”
Xiaobao shook his head, then clicked to poke and private messaged.
ID Xiaobao: I’ve said it, you won’t find someone this way.
If they’re deliberately avoiding you, they won’t respond at all.
If they’re not in the game, aren’t you just burning money, dear?
ID Qian Yu Xian Rou: If you’re not Blue Sky, why do you care about what I do?
Xiaobao: Definitely sounds like an European’s tone, at least consider us poor folks eating dirt here, will you?
System: Qian Yu Xian Rou transferred five thousand Diamonds to Xiaobao.
Xiaobao: ………………….
What are you giving me Diamonds for?
That’s five hundred bucks, dear!
Qian Yu Xian Rou: Didn’t you ask for sympathy?
System: Xiaobao refused Qian Yu Xian Rou’s transfer, the Diamonds have been returned.
Xiaobao: Lady, there should be a limit to being capricious, making money isn’t easy, it’s just a game, there’s no need to be so serious, okay?
Even if you don’t feel pain, I’m distressed watching!
Qian Yu Xian Rou: It’s not my money, I don’t feel pain.
Take it or leave it.
Xiaobao: Why am I meeting all sorts of strange people lately?
You’re like the plete opposite of my boss!
Qian Yu Xian Rou: Boss?
Xiaobao: Ah, Qianxiu, a lone-eyed Knight, handsome, right?
Haha!
For a while, Qian Yu Xian Rou didn’t reply.
Just when Xiaobao was planning to leave the game and take a nap, Qian Yu Xian Rou suddenly flashed a reply.
Qian Yu Xian Rou: Where are you guys, I’ll e find you.
Xiaobao: I’m about to log off, I need a nap.
Qian Yu Xian Rou: Location!
Or, I’ll spam the horn to greet you every day!
Xiaobao moved his lips, glanced at Qianxiu who was hacking monsters on the screen, scratched his head randomly, and typed a few words in the chat window: Ice Valley Entrance.

…
In “Emerald Fantasy,” amidst a lone snow peak, an elderly figure with an immortal demeanor was gazing into the distance, his eyes filled with exceedingly plex emotions.
Behind the elder, a male elven archer dressed in light leather armor and possessing an elven appearance was looking at this elder in astonishment.
“You…
you are the ‘Main God?'” the male elven archer gulped, “Have I…
really e inside the game?”
The elder slowly turned to face the male player, stroking his long beard, calmly said: “My name is Taiyin, the lord of this mainland.
Now, I shall explain some rules of this world to you.”
The male elven archer hurriedly said: “I know!
I’ll permanently disappear after my second death, right?
I understood that when I made the purchase!”
The elder named Taiyin remained indifferent, “This world is fraught with dangers, you could perish at any moment.
If you don’t want to live here in obscurity, bee stronger!
This is a world where the weak are prey to the strong, only those with the spirit of adventure can forge an immortal legend.”
“So what should I do?” the male elf frowned.
The elder Taiyin gestured towards the male elf, “I have bestowed upon you a cheat, go forth, chosen one!”
Watching the male elf disappear with fanaticism into the snow peak, the elder looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling less melancholic.
What the hell!!
I’m the creator god here!
A flash of white light projected in front of the elder, revealing a panicked-looking female priest stepping out.
“My name is Taiyin, the lord of this place…”
Feels great!
