"Then continue." Tianlang smiled and took the initiative to sit next to Zhao Heng.

"You are quite self-aware." Zhao Heng said calmly with his hands crossed in front of his chest.

Zi Xuan sighed at Tian Lang's attitude and continued, "Although it was hard back then, every time I saw the happy faces of patients after they recovered, I felt a sense of accomplishment. I've always believed that doctors are noble in saving lives and healing the wounded, so I've been working hard in my own way."

"Isn't that so?" Tianlang asked with his hands spread out.

At this point, Zixuan shook her head.

"Saving the dying and healing the wounded is my job, but it's not about people's hearts. After becoming a regular employee, I came to work at the largest hospital in the city with great expectations. I thought everything would go on as usual, but as time went by, everything turned ugly."

"Are you saying there is corruption within the hospital?" Zhao Heng asked.

"Yes, it's just as people think. Someone is taking advantage of his position to extort money from patients, and that person is none other than the hospital's director."

They exploit people under the guise of medical treatment. They prescribe prescriptions for tens of thousands of yuan for conditions that could be cured with minimal cost. They really do whatever it takes to push their drugs.

Zixuan once filed an anonymous complaint, but received no response. After making inquiries from various sources, she found out that the director of the hospital was actually a relative of the mayor, so she had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, Zhao Heng sighed and said angrily, "Ha...classic case of nepotism."

"What happened next?" Tianlang asked.

Zixuan replied, "I'm just an ordinary person, without any extraordinary abilities, so I could only pretend not to see it and do my job. However, my actions have caused dissatisfaction with the dean. He thinks I'm ruining his financial resources and says that if I continue to treat patients like this, the hospital won't make much money."

"That's a statement of your attitude, isn't it?" Zhao Heng said calmly, then asked, "Then how did you respond?"

Zixuan shook her head.

"I couldn't be so hypocritical as to ask my patients to pay for a thousand-dollar drug, so I was very resolute. However, I was ostracized by them. During one operation, they deliberately and secretly replaced the medication I was using, causing the patient to die on the operating table. They used this as a big deal to completely ruin my reputation in the medical industry."

"That's too much!" Tianlang said indignantly after hearing this. "If only Yingba were here, it would be great! If he knew about this, he would definitely make these bad doctors suffer!"

"Oh? So your colleague is also a person who hates evil?" Zhao Heng asked at this time.

Tianlang replied, "Not really, but he hates these hypocritical fellows the most. If you fall into his hands, you won't die, but you won't feel comfortable either."

"Let's not talk about this for now. What then?" Tianlang approached Zixuan and asked, "Are we going to let them continue to be so arrogant?"

At this time, Zixuan sighed again.

"I'm just an ordinary person. What can I do? And after what happened, no one in the medical industry is willing to trust me anymore."

After hearing Zixuan's words, both of them fell silent.

"What did you do after that?" Zhao Heng asked.

"After being fired, I left my original house and became the owner of a pet shop through the introduction of some friends when I was a student. Later, I accidentally heard the customers in the store talking about games. At that time, I was thinking whether I could use these hot topics to indirectly spread the news about the hospital, so..." Zixuan did not finish her words, and it was obvious that her goal was not achieved, otherwise she would not be so pessimistic.

"Don't be too pessimistic. Everyone's ability is limited. You don't have to blame yourself too much." Zhao Heng looked at Zixuan and persuaded her.

At this point, Zi Xuan said with an unhappy look on her face: "It was obviously you who wanted to ask, okay? I have let it go a long time ago." She looked at Zhao Heng, only to see him cough a few times and turn his head away, and then he fell silent again.

"Oh, that's right. After listening to Zixuan's story, shouldn't Mr. Zhao Heng also talk about his past?" At this time, Tianlang suddenly asked with a smile.

"My past... isn't anything special, actually." Zhao Heng was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm a professional. My daily workload is very complex, leaving early and returning late. I have countless documents to file and my boss scolds me. If I'm not careful, I'll hear the words 'pack up and leave'. To put it bluntly, I'm what people call a typical office worker."

"Um...it sounds quite hard." Tianlang said a little slowly.

Zhao Heng nodded without objection.

"Yeah, there's endless work to do every day, meetings to attend constantly, and I have to watch my boss's face. In the workplace, I meet all kinds of people every day, so I have to learn to pretend. Gradually, I even forgot what my original expression was like."

"No wonder. Apart from giving advice, I've never seen you speak." Zixuan said.

Zhao Heng sighed angrily and said, "Of course, it's not just that. For business cooperation, we have to torture ourselves. Every time we have a dinner, we drink until we vomit, just to make the customers smile. The next day, we have to start the tedious work again with a hangover."

"Alas, in the eyes of others we are successful, but in our own eyes, is such a life really meaningful?" he lamented.

"It seems your life isn't going as planned either." Zi Xuan said sadly, "Then how did you come across the game 'Teyvat Supreme'?"

"It all started that night when I came home drunk."

That day, Zhao Heng drank with clients until very late as usual. When he returned to the dormitory, he looked at the time and fell directly on the bed.

"Is it already this late? Looks like I'll have to go to work hungover again tomorrow." He sighed and turned over in bed. "Ha... When will this day-to-day life end..."

Ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling, ding-ling-ling~

At this time, his cell phone rang. Zhao Heng thought it was a call from his boss, but when he opened it, it was a game advertisement.

"Have you lost hope in life? Have you lost faith and feel lost about the future? Do you want to change your fate? Come to Supreme Teyvat and become the much-anticipated Supreme Elemental! Change your destiny today!"

"This ad... isn't it a bit exaggerated?" Zhao Heng fell silent as he looked at the content on his phone. "But, defying fate and changing destiny..."

Besides the ad, there was also a link below the phone, along with the main instructions for downloading and installing it. He looked at the delivery box beside him. Inside was a brain-computer interface that had just been received that day, a gift from an unknown colleague.

"So you're addicted to it?" Zi Xuan asked.

"Well, although I had my doubts at the time, I gave it a try out of curiosity. It felt pretty good, and I felt really relaxed in the game." Zhao Heng said with a smile. "I immersed myself in the game all night. Although I got scolded by my boss the next day for pulling an all-nighter, it gave me a whole new experience. From then on, whenever I had some free time, I'd play the game to relieve the stress of life."

As Zhao Heng finished speaking, the three of them were almost immersed in this atmosphere when suddenly...

"We're back!"

Kailin and Mo Yan walked into the room.

"Hey? Why are Zhao Heng and Tianlang here too? What are you talking about?" Kailin said with an expression as if she wanted to gossip.

Looking at Kailin, Zixuan smiled and said, "Nothing, just chatting casually. Are you two enjoying your date?"

"What...what are you talking about, Xuanxuan? Mo Yan and I are just walking around!" Kailin explained with a blush.

Looking at Kailin's expression, Zixuan continued to joke, "Yes, people usually call this kind of behavior a date."

"You... forget it, I won't pay attention to you!" Kailin said angrily with a pout.

"Puff..." Looking at Karen's appearance at this moment, Zhao Heng's mouth twitched involuntarily, and this happened to be noticed by Karen.

She leaned over to look at Zhao Heng and asked, "Hey, am I seeing right? That stupid guy actually smiled?"

"It must be your imagination." Zhao Heng crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and turned his head away. "Also, you were too close."

"Um...sorry." Kailin immediately retracted her head.

At night, everyone chatted for a long time in a peaceful atmosphere and went to bed very late.
