Weird, my gaming life

Although Li Xiao's mutterings were very soft, every word clearly reached Wang Shimao's ears.

"The potential for this contaminated object is immeasurable!"

Wang Shimao was completely confused, but the only thing he knew was that this child was of great value in Dr. Li's eyes, which made his heart pound. This meant that he could try to raise the price.

"Dr. Li, Xiaoxiao is just an ordinary child..."

Wang Shimao tentatively said.

"ordinary!"

Li Xiao stood up, looked down at the director who was clearly not poor but dressed in shabby clothes, and the smile in his eyes gradually faded, revealing a hint of disdain. "What do you know! Her net worth far exceeds the total value of your dilapidated orphanage."

After saying that, he ignored the stunned Wang Shimao and took out a document and a pen from his pocket.

"I'll double her adoption fee, let's sign it! I'm in a hurry."

The dean's hands trembled as he looked at the document handed to him. The amount had been doubled! This was almost equivalent to all the charitable funds he had received in the past year.

Swallowing hard, Wang Shimao signed his name without hesitation. As for wanting to raise the price, he didn't even consider it. If these big shots were really ungrateful, he would have no choice but to accept being forcibly taken by them.

However, without his signature, it's still a bit troublesome to take the children from the downtown area to the central district through the proper channels.

After all, every child who is taken up there needs to know their specific origin; otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to take someone from the lower city to the middle city.

As Su Xiaoxiao watched the dean quickly sign his name, her heart sank to the bottom.

She wanted to wait for the little brother who had saved her to come and find her.

She wanted to know if he was still alive.

Once she was taken away from here, he would never be able to find her again; she was the only light in her gray world.

A surge of courage welled up within her, and Su Xiaoxiao raised her head, shouting with all her might, "I don't want to go with you!"

Li Xiao paused slightly as he put away the documents. He turned his head, a cold light flashing across his monocle, and an invisible force suddenly enveloped the entire room.

"Children don't have a choice!"

After saying that, he grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's wrist and pulled her towards the door.

Su Xiaoxiao staggered a little as he pulled her.

She glanced back at the place she had stayed for a short time. She saw the undisguised excitement in the eyes of the once kind-looking headmaster, and she also saw the expressions of the other children, some with sympathy, some with resentment, and some with jealousy.

Su Xiaoxiao felt a strong resentment boiling in her heart.

"Why? All I wanted was a peaceful life. All I wanted was to check if the little brother who saved me was still alive. Why can't even my simplest wish be fulfilled!"

She suddenly felt a bit of hatred for this world, and for her own weakness. One day she would become very, very strong, so that no one could force her to do anything anymore.

The orphanage gates slowly closed, leaving only an extreme sense of gloom in Su Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Li Xiao walked ahead, and he was actually quite concerned about the little girl behind him, but his keen senses told him that now was not the time to talk to her.

However, when she truly becomes a master of demons, he believes that this little girl will be incredibly grateful that he took her away today, because this will be the starting point for taking control of her destiny.

.........

As soon as Lin Yuan opened his eyes, he saw a long sword slashing towards him. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to dodge the blade. He gathered his powerful true energy in his hand and struck out with his palm. The black-clad man who attacked him was instantly sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood and dying.

Only then did Lin Yuan have time to observe his surroundings. Two weeks had passed since he left the game world, and he and Princess Changping had also left Blackrock City.

Before him stood four or five burly men clad in armor, locked in combat with a group of men in black, while Princess Changping sat calmly in a magnificent carriage.

The dejected look in his eyes and brows was no longer the same as when he saved her; he now exuded the air of a high and mighty princess.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to check his game log, but just by glancing at his surroundings, he roughly understood what had happened.

It's simply that during the two weeks he wasn't in the game, his game character reverted to his true nature and failed to dissuade Princess Changping from going to his subordinates.

So much so that even though he had concealed their identities, they were now exposed, which led to an attack by Princess Changping's enemies.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and decided to wait and see before making any plans.

Without the slightest pause, Lin Yuan's figure vanished the instant the man in black was knocked away. He lightly touched the ground with his toes, and like a ghost, he instantly disappeared into the shadow of Zhu Wanying's magnificent carriage.

Only after confirming his safety did he quietly open the game log, quickly browse through it, and Lin Yuan instantly understood what had happened.

On the first day he left the game, the return of the game character made Zhu Wanying notice something different.

Although Lin Yuan is just a child, his every word and action reveals a level of caution far beyond that of his peers.

However, the game character is quite the opposite, showing almost no intention of keeping a low profile when walking on the street.

On the contrary, he was curious about everything, just like a real country bumpkin. Even when he discovered that he had a lot of money on him, he didn't know the martial arts world's experience of not flaunting wealth and just showed it off. This made Zhu Wanying feel that Lin Yuan was unreliable.

During one robbery by thugs, they even abandoned her and ran away. If Zhu Wanying hadn't reacted quickly enough, she would have been defiled by those thugs.

After finding Lin Yuan hiding in the alley in fear, Zhu Wanying found it hard to believe that the Lin Yuan she saw now was the same Lin Yuan who had given her a great sense of security the night before.

In order to avoid further hardship and for her own safety, Zhu Wanying eventually contacted her subordinates through the post station.

However, she still had a conscience and took Lin Yuan with her before she left, which led to the incident where Lin Yuan was attacked with a knife as soon as he opened his eyes.

After sorting out his experiences, Lin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't know what game characters were like, but he was extremely annoyed by this experience because if he didn't log into the game for a long time, everything would be out of his control.

Although the game character still possesses martial arts skills after he leaves, these skills were entirely learned by Lin Yuan. Based on this experience, the game character may not have any memory of what he went through. This leads to a situation where, even if the game character is very strong, he is unaware of his own strength.

So much so that when faced with thugs he could easily take down, he simply ran away.

He had no idea that even if he stood still and let these guys hit him, they might be able to deflect the attacks due to his virginity-based martial arts technique.

After all, from the game character's perspective, as a six-year-old child facing a group of ill-intentioned adults, running away is the only normal thing to do.

Just as Lin Yuan was thinking about something, the black-clad man who was fighting with a group of guards in the distance suddenly opened a gap, raised his knife, and charged towards Zhu Wanying.

Inside the carriage, Zhu Wanying watched this scene, her pupils contracting rapidly.

How could this be? Her guards were all top-notch imperial guards, each at the first-rate level, yet these men in black were able to break through their defenses and attack her.

Clearly, these assassins are no ordinary people either.

Who exactly wanted to kill her? Zhu Wanying's mind raced.

One by one, people and forces that had grudges against her flashed through his mind.

"Could it be her...?"

Zhu Wanying thought of one person: her older sister, Zhu Xiaoyun.

If you were to ask who in this world hates her the most, it would be her second sister, who is also a princess.
