Dr. Hu checked the time.

Two hours later, the person named 'Lian Kai Fu Gui' will be offline.

Then we can re-monitor Gareth who has returned to the void space.

After the surveillance camera came back, Bai Lian glanced in the direction of the void without leaving a trace, his eyes changed slightly, and then he turned back to look at Gareth.

Gareth was looking at him intently, and suddenly Bai Lian turned around and caught Gareth's gaze.

He was obviously panicked for a moment, then turned his head away and pretended nothing had happened.

Of course, it would be nice if his ears were as honest as he was. Bai Lian chuckled, grabbed his hand and interlocked his fingers.

"I'll be offline soon."

The moment he heard this, the blush on Gareth's face faded away like a tide, and he was enveloped by a lonely mood. After a long time, he gently replied: "Hmm..."

Bai Lian held his hand tightly, giving him peace of mind.

"I'll be in in two days, and I want you to be the first one I see when I get in, okay?"

"Yeah! I'll find you."

Gareth pursed his thin lips, and the figure of Bai Lian was reflected in his black eyes. His serious expression made people not doubt the truthfulness of his words.

Bai Lian couldn't help laughing when he saw this, so he moved closer to him and put one hand behind his neck to lower his head.

Their lips touched each other easily, and when the cold and hot contacted, it aroused a shudder. Gareth opened his eyes wide, looking at the face so close with shock in his eyes.

"Close your eyes."

The other party took advantage of the gap to whisper something, and Gareth obediently closed his eyes slowly and felt the touch from Bai Lian.

It was not known who opened their lips first, but their breathing became more closely intertwined, and the hot breath sprayed out seemed to make their faces red. The corners of Gareth's eyes turned slightly red, and a hint of lust dazzled his eyes.

It was Bai Lian who started it in the early stage, and later Gareth pressed down on Bai Lian's waist to prevent him from leaving.

About ten minutes passed.

The two separated, their breathing slightly heavy, their lips stained with a delicate color, and a hint of desire creeping up their eyebrows, which made it hard not to think of what had just happened between them.

Gareth saw the redness and swelling on Bai Lian's lips, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he forced himself to look away.

Seeing his reaction, Bai Lian chuckled inwardly. He had been kissing him so passionately just now, but now he felt embarrassed.

The time they spent together passed quickly.

Bai Lian noticed the prompt on the system panel and looked at Gareth. Gareth also knew that time was almost up and tried to control his inner disappointment, "Lian... Lian, I'll wait for you."

"Ah."

Bai Lian's figure gradually disappeared, and Gareth's palm became empty. He looked quietly in the direction where Bai Lian disappeared. After a long time, he stood up, and his lonely figure slowly disappeared in the peach blossom forest.

Bai Lian woke up from the holographic cabin, feeling a little tired.

He came out of the holographic cabin and lay on the bed. He closed his eyes but his consciousness was still clear. After thinking some things clearly, he let himself fall asleep.

At this time, it was still dark outside, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon when Bai Lian woke up.

Bai Lian looked at the time and it was exactly half past three when he went out.

[Host, where are you going? ]

System 111 was a little puzzled. Didn't the host just want to lie in bed when he came out? Why is he going out now?

With the development of modern technology, you don’t have to go out to buy groceries anymore. You can just ask the robot to deliver them. Even cooking robots have emerged. Humans have completely freed their hands to do more things.

Besides, since Bai Lian is such a slacker, he probably doesn’t want to buy groceries and ask a robot to cook for him. What’s the difference between that and take-out?

It’s probably better than takeout!

Take-out food can be eaten as soon as it is delivered, but this takes time to prepare.

For someone like Bai Lian who likes to play badly, the second option is natural.

【Go to XY Company.】

XY Company is the producer of the holographic game "Xianyuan". The company came out of nowhere and quickly became known to the general public after launching this holographic game.

The company’s main slogan: Respond to the country’s call and conclude a perfect match!

So does this have anything to do with Bai Lian's trip? Is it because of the mission objective?

System 111 felt that he had discovered the truth.

Bai Lian came downstairs to XY Company, glanced at the sign at the door, and then walked in.

On the way here, Bai Lian found out that the person primarily responsible for designing this holographic game was a man named Hu Sheng, whom everyone called Dr. Hu.

When I arrived at the front desk, the receptionist smiled politely, "Sir, may I ask what can I do for you?"

"Hello, I would like to see Dr. Hu."

"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?"

"No, but can you tell him that a man named 'Lian Kai Fu Gui' came to see him? I believe he will agree to see me after hearing this."

Bai Lian said this with confidence.

If there is no other choice, he can only wait here for a while and have to go back at night.

The receptionist still shook her head dutifully. Ever since their company became popular because of the game "Xianyuan", hundreds of people wanted to see Dr. Hu every day. If everyone said this, the receptionist might have been replaced by now.

"Well, excuse me."

Bai Lian didn't mean to make things difficult for her, after all, she was just a receptionist.

A man in casual clothes and glasses passed by and happened to hear Bai Lian say the word "Lotus blooms and wealth comes". He called out to Bai Lian.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Bai Lian stopped walking when he heard this. "Hello, I'm here to see Dr. Hu."

"You just said you were 'Lotus Blooms and Wealth'?"

The man stared at the person in front of him with eyes wide open in disbelief. There were some differences between the person he saw in the game and the person in front of him. The temperament of the person in front of him was very eye-catching.

"Ah."

Bai Lian glanced at his clothes and roughly guessed that he should be one of the holographic game researchers.

Bai Lian’s guess was indeed correct; the man was the researcher in front of the surveillance screen.

The researcher looked at the person in front of him in amazement, because this was the first time he saw a player in a holographic game, but he didn't dare to look at others for too long, it was a matter of politeness.

"I know Dr. Hu. I can ask him if he wants to see you. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do."

"Well, thank you."

His personality is a bit cold, and the researcher quickly formed his first impression of Bai Lian through just a few sentences.

He asked Bai Lian to follow him in.

During this time, the researcher took Bai Lian into the elevator and went to the floor of their main technical department.

The place is full of people, but they have only touched upon the peripheral aspects of the holographic gaming system. The real core personnel are all staying in the laboratory for research.

Because experiments consume a lot of energy, I was busy dealing with emergencies all afternoon today and didn't have time to eat.

So the researcher took advantage of the break in the afternoon to go out for lunch and packed a portion for Dr. Hu. The hygiene requirements in the laboratory are strict and eating is not allowed inside, so after getting a meal, people usually go to the rest area on this floor to eat.

Treat everyone equally.

The researcher happened to have packed some food for Dr. Hu, so he said he could help him ask.

Bai Lian was asked to wait in the rest area while the researchers entered the laboratory one by one using their card.

The laboratory is an important core base. Apart from researchers, even senior executives who want to enter must obtain Dr. Hu’s approval.

After entering, the researcher changed into spare clothes in the laboratory and went to Dr. Hu's lounge.

"Knock knock knock" a crisp knock on the door sounded.

The door opened from the inside, Dr. Hu wiped his eyes, put on his glasses and said, "What's wrong?"

"Doctor, the man called 'Lotus Blooms and Fortune' in the game is here to see you. Do you want to meet him?"

The researcher explained his purpose clearly and concisely, and Dr. Hu did not look too surprised when he heard the news, as if he had guessed that he would come.

Ask: "Where is he?"

The researcher said, "Wait for you in the lounge outside. I've brought you food and left it there."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, get busy!"

Dr. Hu waved his hand, told him to leave, and then walked out.

Not long after Bai Lian sat down, Dr. Hu came out. The two of them exchanged glances in the air, but no one spoke.

It was not until Dr. Hu sat down that Bai Lian got straight to the point and said, "Dr. Hu, I'm sure you can guess why I'm here. In order not to waste your time, I'll just tell you straight away."

"Gareth is not a simple NPC, right?"

Although Bai Lian said this with doubt, he was already eighty percent sure in his heart.

Dr. Hu did not answer him directly. Instead, he walked out and closed the door of the lounge, then went to get two glasses of water and handed one to Bai Lian.

Bai Lian took it and said, "Thank you."

Dr. Hu took a sip of water and said, "Yes, you guessed right, but I'm sorry I can't tell you too much."

Bai Laina was silent for a moment and then said, "He is still alive, right?"

"Yes, you just need to know that only you can keep him truly alive."

This is all Dr. Hu has to say. How he interprets it is up to him.

"Okay, I understand, thank you."

Bai Lian's neither humble nor arrogant attitude made Dr. Hu look at him with a higher opinion of him. He asked the answer he wanted. Bai Lian said goodbye to Dr. Hu and left.

The water on the table remained untouched.

Dr. Hu was silent for a while, took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes.

I hope he can give me a surprise.

In the evening, when the time came, Bai Lian entered the holographic game.

Gareth, who had been waiting anxiously, immediately ran towards Bai Lian as soon as he sensed Bai Lian's breath.

Bai Lian waited there for a while, and then Gareth came to Bai Lian.

"Lian Lian, here I come!"

Gareth's pure eyes were shining, and the happy aura emanating from him made it hard to believe that he had a depressed and lost expression just a few minutes ago.

"Lian Lian, am I the first one you've seen?"

"Yes."

Bai Lian raised his hand and touched his head. Gareth did not dodge, but rubbed it comfortably with his eyes squinted.

Like a big clingy dog.

The two of them walked hand in hand on the road. From time to time, there were players passing by. Seeing the two of them holding hands, they couldn't help but have some longing for love in their hearts.

Because this is a game designed specifically to increase the marriage rate, the pictures in this game all reveal beautiful scenery.

In the three months since its launch, it has helped dozens of couples get married.

Holographic games are expensive, but with the government’s guarantee, the price has been brought down to a level that every family can afford.

The game's praise rate is gradually increasing, and new players are joining every day. It may not be long before it becomes a game that covers all young people.

A voice came from not far away, "Boss!"

Bai Lian and Gareth stopped and looked back.

After seeing Gareth next to him, Dongshi Junma's pace of rushing over slowed down a lot. Seeing the two holding hands, Dongshi Junma couldn't help but admire the big guy.

The only one who can have a romantic relationship with an NPC is Bai Lian.

Soon, Dongshi Junma may have to change this sentence.

"What's the matter with you?"

Seeing him running towards her excitedly, Bai Lian couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and guessed that something good must have happened to him recently.

Dongshi Junma smiled again and took out a bottle of pills from his storage bag.

"Boss, this is a blood-boosting pill made with the dragon beard grass from last time. It has the effect of quickly restoring blood. As long as you are not knocked out by one move, taking one pill will immediately restore your blood to full. This bottle is for you."

"If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have gotten the dragon beard grass, nor would I have been able to refine this kind of elixir. In the end, I'm the one who got the better deal!"

Bai Lian said, "You gave me a bottle, do you have any more?"

Bai Lian didn't have much need for this kind of thing. Now that he had found the target of the mission, he was not too interested in leveling up and fighting monsters. This bottle of elixir was dispensable to him.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, big man!"

Dongshi Junma smiled with his teeth showing. What good things had he done in his previous life to meet such a good boss!

Suddenly he felt the air around him cool down a bit, he shrank his body, looked up and found Gareth staring at him with a sad look.

Dongshi Junma cried out in his heart: Damn, he is angry!

Dongshi Junma moved several steps away from Bai Lian in one second, and at the same time, he put away any unnecessary expressions on his face and looked serious.

Bai Lian saw his sudden reaction and then looked at the person next to him. Gareth noticed Bai Lian's gaze and his originally deep emotions were hidden in a second. He looked back at Bai Lian with his black eyes full of innocence.

"what happened?"

Bai Lian: ...good acting.

Under Gareth's surreptitious gaze, Dongshi Junma hurriedly said, "Boss, I remembered that my shop door is not closed. I'll go back quickly and talk to you next time!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran as if there was some ferocious beast behind him.

Bai Lian looked at Gareth in silence. Gareth still had an expression of "I don't understand". He looked in the direction where the horse from Dongshi left and thought: He is sensible.

How could Bai Lian not understand Gareth's inner thoughts, but he was happy to spoil him.

After experiencing so many worlds, he has several common points in each world, so it is hard for Bai Lian not to recognize him. Although each world is full of uncertainty, the only certainty is that he will always be there.

This secretly jealous character is no different from the previous one.

"Lian Lian, let's go! I remember there's a nice little pond up ahead, let's go take a look!"

Gareth didn't want Bai Lian's eyes to stay on other places for a long time. If possible, he hoped that Bai Lian's eyes would always be on him, but he knew that this wouldn't work.
