Civilization Paradise

Chapter 39 Doubts
Abby was about to continue trying to persuade him, but before he could even speak, Long Ming logged out of the game and disappeared.

"grass!"

Abby couldn't help but swear; another big fish had escaped.

Inside Star Wish Cafe 666 private room.

hiss~
With a deflated sound, the lid of the game pod opened automatically.

Long Ming opened his eyes and slowly sat up.

cough~
He coughed a few times, then checked his body.

The result was that although I played games for almost three days straight, I didn't feel particularly tired or hungry. You really do get what you pay for; the gaming pod's performance is far superior to a helmet.

He then got out of the game pod, put on his shoes, walked out of the room, and came to the self-service area outside.

Long Ming casually grabbed a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed it, and then took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them.

He then headed towards the stairs, intending to go back and rest.

Not long after, Long Ming arrived at the lobby on the first floor.

The hall was bustling with activity, with many people gathered around the projection table.

Manager Mira, dressed in a sexy black slip dress, stood there with a broad smile and spoke.

"Congratulations to our esteemed guest, Mr. Zhou Ning, for finding a purple-grade item in the Civilization Paradise and successfully evacuating, thus completing this Star Guest event, 'The Birth of a Strongest.' You are hereby awarded 500 Mountain Coins for internet access!"

clap~
The crowd burst into applause.

"Thank you!"

A young man in a blue T-shirt was grinning from ear to ear, and behind him, a large screen projected his heroic departure.

"Good boy, that's enough, come down now."

At this moment, Zhou Ning's roommates shouted at him.

"Go away."

Seeing his roommates making a fuss, Zhou Ning could only awkwardly run off the stage.

Long Ming looked at this scene with a hint of nostalgia on his face.

At this moment, Manager Mira smiled and spoke to the many guests watching below the stage.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Next, StarWish Cafe will release an exciting evacuation video. Please watch!"

Upon hearing Manager Mira's words, everyone turned to look at the projection screen.

The projected image showed a young man wearing a bulletproof vest, holding a submachine gun, and carrying a tactical backpack running wildly on a low rooftop before jumping onto the roof of an adjacent building.

At this moment, a evacuation mechanical platform was sitting on an open space not far away.

The young man's smile grew even brighter as he saw the evacuation platform.

boom!
Suddenly a bullet whizzed past him and hit the wall.

The young man turned his head and glanced back, only to see five players wielding automatic pistols chasing after him.

"Don't even think about running away!"

The five players kept shooting at the young man.

At this moment, the young man ignored the gunfire behind him and continued running wildly along the sloping roof as if it were flat ground.

Just as the five players were about to catch up, the young man leaped down from the building, landing stylishly on the mechanical platform, and raised his wristband to click the evacuation button.

When the white light appeared, the five pursuing players arrived, but it was too late. They could only watch angrily as the young man retreated.

At this moment, Mira addressed everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Chu Xian of the sixteenth group of the Star Wish Cafe Club's pioneering team has successfully withdrawn with a profit of 500 million One-Dimensional Coins, which is 300 million higher than the previous record of 200 million One-Dimensional Coins, setting a new record. The Star Wish Club will give him a special reward of 1 Mountain Coins. Please welcome Mr. Chu Xian to the stage!"

At this moment, an arrogant-looking man with side-swept bangs walked onto the stage.

"Awesome!"

"So handsome."

"Hey pro, can you take us on a dungeon run?"

The many onlookers shouted excitedly.

"I'll definitely take you guys with me if I have the chance!"

Chu Xian replied politely.

After glancing at it, Long Ming silently walked to the bar and spoke.

"Check out room 666."

"Sir, are you satisfied with your gaming pod?" Xiao Qi asked warmly as Long Ming came to pay the bill.

"Satisfied, let's calculate how much."

"Okay, you've played for a total of 64 hours and 13 minutes. The spare time won't be charged. The hourly rate is 6400 Mountain Coins, plus 3000 Mountain Coins for the nutritional injections, for a total of 9900 Mountain Coins."

"Thank you."

Long Ming picked up his phone, paid the bill, and then turned and left.

Seeing that Long Ming was about to leave, Xiao Qi quickly chased after him from behind the bar and called out.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Long Ming stopped and looked at Xiao Qi with a puzzled expression.

"Sir, would it be convenient for us to add each other on WeChat? That way you can contact me whenever you need to go online."

"You guys aren't short of business, are you? Especially with so many people booking the gaming pods?"

"Sir, what kind of star-rated cafe complains about having too many customers? Besides, it doesn't matter who you book with, so why not give me this revenue and let me earn a little more?"

Xiao Qi blinked and said to Long Ming in a coquettish tone.

"Ok."

After some thought, Long Ming finally agreed.

"Thank you, sir. This is my WeChat. Please feel free to contact me if you need anything. Also, if you'd like to use a gaming pod, please let me know in advance. Although I can't guarantee an appointment right away, I can arrange it for you."

Xiaoqi quickly picked up her phone and opened the "Add Friends" interface.

"Well, let's go."

Long Ming glanced at it, then turned and left.

"Walk slowly!"

Xiao Qi greeted him politely.

At this moment, a young man wearing work clothes and with a black mole on the corner of his mouth walked over and asked curiously.

"Xiaoqi, who was that person who just left? How did you add him?"

"What's it to you?"

Xiao Qi's smile vanished instantly. She glared at Cao Jie with annoyance before turning and leaving.

For a moment, Cao Jie was also completely baffled.

Did I say something wrong?

In a corner on the edge of Star City.

A burly man, 1.9 meters tall, with a body made of steel-like muscles, a chiseled face, and sharp eyes, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant scenery. Behind him stood a group of menacing subordinates.

At this moment, Old Ghost, carrying the gene box, ran over with a big smile on his face. Just as he was about to get close...

Two subordinates reached out to stop the old man.

Old Ghost's expression froze, and he could only speak humbly.

"Lord Qian Sha".

"Where's the stuff?"

Upon hearing Old Ghost's words, Qian Sha turned around to look at him and asked in a dignified manner.

"it's here."

Old Ghost presented the unopened gene box as if it were a treasure.

A subordinate took the gene box and respectfully handed it to Qian Sha.

Qian Sha took the unopened gene box, a hint of excitement in his eyes, and gently stroked the box.

"It truly is a treasure trove of genes."

"Congratulations, sir. If you can produce a perfect gene potion to present to the city lord, I believe the city lord will look at you with new eyes, and you will undoubtedly be the next city lord."

At this moment, a strong man with a buzz cut and calloused hands offered his congratulations.

“Sir, Captain Alan is right.”

The other subordinates present echoed this sentiment.
