Weird, my gaming life

A hint of approval flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes. He activated the instrument, and countless tiny mechanical arms engraved with strange runes extended from the worktable, aiming at the core of the strange energy.

"Suppress it for three minutes."

Lin Yuan nodded, stretched out his hands, and hovered them above the energy shield.

He closed his eyes, and a surge of immense spiritual power erupted forth, like a vast net enveloping the core.

Immediately afterwards, the two kinds of true energy, cold jade and red sun, circulated rapidly, transforming into countless streams of air thinner than a hair, which carefully seeped into the energy shield through the gaps.

This is a task a hundred times more difficult than fighting.

He needed to use his own true energy to trap the mysterious and eerie thing within the core, like taming a herd of mad horses, to seal it off tightly.

The Crimson Sun True Qi is responsible for quickly burning away the resistance released by the strange entity, while the Frosty Jade True Qi is responsible for calming and guiding it.

While battling the eerie curse, Lin Yuan discovered that the Cold Jade True Qi was particularly suitable for nourishing the eerie power.

So he was also interested in trying it out to see if he could use this power to dangle the eerie creature like a fish. Sure enough, the eerie creature that was originally in the core quickly quieted down after receiving Lin Yuan's power, and its giant black and white face, which looked like a baby's, began to enjoy itself.

However, due to the increasingly excessive burden, fine beads of sweat began to appear on Lin Yuan's forehead, and his face grew paler.

Time passed by, second by second.

The core, which had been flashing wildly, gradually stabilized and began to pulsate rhythmically.

The middle-aged man was stunned, and almost forgot what he was doing.

He was just trying anything as a last resort, because if he couldn't complete the deal, he would face huge legal consequences. However, Lin Yuan's appearance brought him unexpected surprises.

Is this really the kind of power this world can possess?

As a C-level Ghost Master, he knew very well how difficult it was to quiet down a ghost. It either had to be a ghost far superior to others, or someone who fully understood the rules of ghosts.

Otherwise, trying to quiet down these man-eating monsters is just wishful thinking.

"Ten seconds left!" He snapped out of his daze and roared at Lin Yuan, his hands moving so fast they left afterimages.

Once the last energy wire was connected, the eerie core emitted a low hum, stabilized completely, and emitted a faint blue light.

Lin Yuan swayed and almost fell over.

He withdrew his hands, looking as if he had been pulled out of the water.

The middle-aged man gave him a deep look, his eyes flashing for a moment, then seemed to suppress his greed without saying anything more, and turned to walk into the inner room.

A moment later, he came out with a syringe and a metal piece the size of a grain of rice.

"Lie down there." He pointed to the cold operating table.

Lin Yuan lay down without hesitation.

The "doctor" injected the green liquid from the syringe into his body, and a cool sensation instantly spread throughout his limbs and bones. The excruciating pain in his shoulder quickly subsided, and his flesh began to grow at a visible rate.

This was an advanced healing agent he had never experienced before.

"Don't move."

The "doctor" picked up the metal piece, used a special pair of pliers, aimed it at the back of Lin Yuan's neck, and pressed it down without hesitation.

A sharp, piercing pain shot through him, and Lin Yuan groaned, clenching his fists tightly.

"alright."

A middle-aged man's voice came from inside.

"From now on, your name is Lin Xiu, you are seven years old, and you come from District 17. Due to a strange incident, your parents died and your identity records were completely destroyed. You were sent to District 15 for treatment by the rescue team. Your identity is legal and your file is flawless."

He tossed him a clean set of clothes and a card.

"Here are your new clothes, and you have 10,000 credits in your card, enough for you to survive here for a while. Get out of here, and don't ever come looking for me again."

Lin Yuan sat up, moved his right shoulder which had recovered, and felt the small foreign object on the back of his neck.

He put on his new clothes and picked up the card.

"I have a question."

"explain."

"I want to survive in the south of the city, and ideally, I want to be able to go to school."

The doctor looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Go to school? What do you think Central District is? Without a guardian, you can't even get through the gates of elementary school."

He seemed to have thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"However, I do know a place. In the North Third District, there's an upscale fitness club. The owner is a fallen noblewoman named Qin Wan."

She has a bad temper, but she has a legal guardianship position and is looking for an adopted son every year to inherit and carry on her family business.

"You can try your luck. But let me warn you, a few arrogant fools went to her recently, and she broke their legs and threw them out."

Lin Yuan silently memorized the name and address.

Thank you.

He turned around, walked out of the shop without the slightest hesitation, and disappeared into the noisy crowd of the black market.

Watching his departing figure, the "doctor's" electronic eyes flickered uncertainly.

He picked up the communicator, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it down.

"Interesting little guy... I hope he doesn't die too quickly, I'm really eyeing him! But time is limited, we can't stay in Nancheng any longer, after all, the mission issued by the organization is about to erupt, this rotten world needs some action."

The middle-aged man pursed his lips as he watched Lin Yuan walk away, his eyes revealing an even more fervent light than before. However, he quickly suppressed it, picked up the core on the table, and then disappeared from the spot like a shadow.

Lin Yuan walked out of the black market and stood once again on the clean streets of the central district.

After changing his clothes, he was no longer so conspicuous.

The identity chip on the back of his neck granted him the right to walk in the sunlight, even though that right was extremely fragile.

He looked up at the area map displayed on the neon sign in the distance and found the direction of the North Third District.

A night breeze blew by, carrying a hint of coolness.

He gripped the cold card in his pocket and walked step by step toward the place called "Noble Fitness Club".
