I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 310 Story
Claudia insisted that she would only reveal the real secret after meeting the actual manager.

Therefore, Ning Yun contacted the Chinese camp.

Since Huacheng is not currently open to the public, they simply set up the meeting place in Mocheng.

Ning Yun invited Claudia to stay at her place and they would meet again the next day.

She agreed.

But that night, no one in the know—whether in Mo City, Hongyun City, or Hua City—could sleep.

Normally, Ning Yun would return to her own small house instead of staying in the city lord's mansion.

But tonight, just in case, she'll stay in Motown.

The other players did the same, remaining in Mo City.

But Ningyun really couldn't sleep.

She remembered the time she met Him.

At that time, Ning Yun was hostile to this game system.

As a result, many details were overlooked.

For example, it seems that He is also subject to some rules and must abide by them.

For example, the world He showed Ning Yun was extremely dangerous, filled with all sorts of terrifying monsters.

But now, she has discovered that the majority of people in the world are still humans.

She never saw those terrifying monsters again.

Ning Yun had so many thoughts running through her mind that she felt like her head was about to explode.

"Whoo~"

She let out a long breath, then pushed open the door, intending to go out for some fresh air.

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw a dark figure standing in her doorway.

It startled her.

He almost pulled out his weapon.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that the figure looked very familiar.

"Xiao Qichen, what are you doing at my door?" Ning Yun was both annoyed and amused.

It was late at night, and the light in front of her bedroom door was off.

That's why I couldn't see her face clearly.

Xiao Qichen also did not expect Ning Yun to suddenly appear.

He wasn't very good at talking to begin with, and now, in this situation, he's even less able to speak.

Seeing his expression, Ning Yun probably understood.

"I understand. You're worried that too many people will move into the City Lord's Mansion and cause trouble, right? Don't worry, everything's fine here."

Ning Yun calmed down; she figured she was going out for a stroll anyway.

"I really can't sleep, let's go out for a walk."

Xiao Qichen nodded, and the two walked side by side toward the garden.

Now that it's late at night and everyone is asleep, the maids and servants in the city lord's mansion are mostly asleep.

Only guards are on duty, and they occasionally patrol the area.

Upon seeing Ning Yun, they merely greeted her from a distance.

"I don't know why, but I can't seem to calm down."

The night was exceptionally quiet; you could even hear the rain falling on the protective shield.

It's natural white noise, but to many people it sounds more like the whispers of the devil.

"I thought it was just an ordinary game. If we all worked together and persevered until the end, everything would be back to normal."

She used to think that way, as factions and main cities emerged.

Ning Yun always felt that everything was moving in a positive direction.

But neither Claudia's words nor His unusual behavior mattered.

All of this made Ning Yun increasingly uneasy.

A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes.

Because she suddenly didn't know which direction she should strive in.

Even if I hear Claudia's plan tomorrow, and it turns out to be feasible.

But is success guaranteed?

Ning Yun didn't know.

Xiao Qichen turned his head to look at her, but didn't say anything to comfort her. Instead, he said, "Let me tell you a story."

Ning Yun looked over and said, "Okay, but you have to make it interesting."

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well listen to a story.

From the very first sentence Xiao Qichen uttered, she knew what story he was talking about.

"On a blue planet, there lived a little boy. His mother died, his father didn't care about him, and he was very lonely."

"Until a little girl entered his world."

This is clearly telling his own story.

“He didn’t dislike the little girl at first, but he didn’t know how to talk to her.”

"Fortunately, the little girl never gave up and came to him every day to play. Gradually, they became best friends."

Ning Yun's thoughts seemed to drift back to her childhood.

Back then, she was actually a bit annoying; she was very stubborn.

If you like a child, you must play with them.

When he was a child, Xiao Qichen was very aloof and initially didn't want to talk to her.

It was only after she repeatedly went to Xiao Qichen's house that he finally agreed to speak.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qichen was quite shy back then.

Ning Yun couldn't help but tease, "If the little girl gives up after two days, will the little boy still be her friend?"

I remember that for a week or two, she went to see Xiao Qichen every day.

She no longer possesses that kind of perseverance.

Xiao Qichen's lips unconsciously curled up. "Yes, if the little girl doesn't come, the little boy will go to find her too."

"Later, they became best friends, playing together every day and playing pranks on the adults."

"But the good times didn't last long. The boy's family came and asked him to go home."

It took Xiao Qichen's father several years to realize that he hadn't seen his son in a long time.

Xiao Qichen didn't want to go back to his hometown, but he had no say at the time and was forcibly taken away.

Ning Yun still remembers that Xiao Qichen disappeared suddenly.

"The little girl was very angry at the time, but later she began to worry that the boy might have forgotten about her, which was why he hadn't contacted her."

Back then, everyone had social media accounts.

But Xiao Qichen never sent her a single message.

She's still very angry about this.

"So, why doesn't the little boy contact her?"

She stared at Xiao Qichen, wondering if he was willing to give a reasonable explanation.

But Xiao Qichen remained expressionless, or rather, he was simply using his expressionless face to mask his true feelings.

“Because,” he said softly, “the boy is sick.”

"Sick?" Ning Yun asked in surprise. "Was it very serious? Are you better now?"

This was the first time she had learned that Xiao Qichen was sick.

Seeing the worry in Ning Yun's eyes, Xiao Qichen tried his best to control his emotions.

He lowered his eyes. "Yes, it's all better now, but the boy has forgotten a lot of things, especially about the girl."

"Huh?" Ning Yun was a little surprised by this unexpected development.

It sounds like a scene from a TV drama.

She didn't say those words aloud.

Instead, he asked, "And then what happened?"

She was quite curious about how Xiao Qichen grew up.

"Later, with his grandfather's help, the boy grew up, seized the family's property, drove his biological father out of the group, and was scorned by others."

"Then, the apocalypse came."

No wonder I've never heard Xiao Qichen mention his father.

Xiao Qichen continued, "The apocalypse came suddenly, catching everyone off guard and forcing them to separate from their families and friends."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yun sensed something was wrong.

Even though I told everyone about the impending doom of China beforehand, the vast majority of people didn't separate from their families.

Could it be that he was really telling someone else's story?
