Zhang Heng quietly listened to Mei Nan's story, and he did not express any opinion. He just asked, "How much time do you have left?"
"What are you asking? My illness entered stage IV about two months ago. If I'm fast, it will only take two or three months. If I'm optimistic, I might have half a year left," Mei Nan said. "Why? Do you still want to attend my funeral?"
"I've been busy with some things recently. I don't think I can spare much time." Zhang Heng threw the empty coke can into the trash can, took out his mobile phone, and typed something on it. The first email was sent quickly, and he quickly wrote the second one.
Mei Nan was taken aback, but she quickly continued, "Forget it then. I wanted to ask you to help me deal with my belongings or something. I even prepared a few game items as a reward, but I don't think you'll be interested in them. After all, you're already ranked first in the proxy war. I'll look for someone else."
"Do you have any friends here besides me?" Zhang Heng asked.
"…"
"I can post a reward on the forum."
"When the people you find see you now, there's an 80% chance that they'll snatch your game items away." Zhang Heng did not look up. "Why don't you push back the time and wait for me to die when I'm free?"
"Do you think I don't want to live?" Mei Nan put down the plastic fork in her hand. "But I have been abandoned by Loki, and I have lost all my abilities. I can no longer mold plasticine into anything, and I can't participate in this proxy war. Because of the committee's ban, I can't even enter ordinary quests. How can you, the number one player on the leaderboard, understand me?!
"I'm no longer a person from your world. Other than the few items I have left, I'm no different from an ordinary person. Even the money for my hospital stay was scammed, and it's almost gone. Just like the Cinderella in the fairy tale, once the clock strikes twelve, my glass slipper, pumpkin carriage, and ball gown will all disappear, and I'll turn back into the ordinary girl who sleeps in the dormitory of a restaurant, living in fear, and watching death come to me."
"I don't think everything you have disappeared," Zhang Heng said. "Don't you still have me? Since there are supernatural powers in this world, there must be a way to cure your illness."
"Do you think I didn't think of that? I've contacted many Chambers of Commerce, but none of them have the items I need. It's the same for the auction. On the first day the forums were created, I put up a post in the item trading area, but no one has contacted me yet. "
"Have you ever thought that it's because you didn't offer enough chips? Besides, your ID doesn't have any credibility. If such an item really exists, it must be very precious. Most people would choose to keep it for themselves. After all, no one knows when they or their important family or friends will need it. Even if they want to sell it, they wouldn't contact a stranger on the forum." Zhang Heng checked what he had written again and clicked the send button.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, I can't afford the price of this thing now," Fan Meinan said. "My camouflage ability has failed."
"The good news is that I can afford it." After Zhang Heng said that, his phone lit up the next moment, showing that he had received an email. The sender was Ding Si, and there was only one sentence in the email.
— — Is this real?!!!!!
The five exclamation marks at the end fully showed the shock in his heart. Zhang Heng replied.
[Yes, send it like this.]
Ding Si replied almost instantly.
[No problem. According to the requirements, if someone else entrusted us with the task, we would have to inspect the goods first. However, Mr. Simon, we can fully trust you. You just need to find time to come to our headquarters within two weeks. This matter itself is also a good advertising opportunity for us.]
[Thank you.]
After Zhang Heng sent the email, he put away his phone and said to Fan Meinan, "Let's go."
"Where to?" Fan Meinan looked a little confused.
"To talk to your former employer," Zhang Heng said indifferently.
…
At the same time, the players' forum on the other side was once again in an uproar.
The battle on the leaderboard tonight was fierce, and the series of reversals was even more exciting than a TV series. First, β defeated the three major guilds to rank first on the leaderboard. However, it didn't take long for Simon to overtake him. Soon, someone dug up the fact that Simon only played two games in the first round of the proxy war. This caused the players to argue about whether or not Simon had cheated. The traffic on the forum tonight had reached a record high, and many of the players who usually lurked in the dark were exposed.
At this time, Fu Lou's official account, which was verified by the forum, posted another post. This time, Simon, who was already the subject of countless curious discussions, was once again at the forefront of the discussion.
[Looking to purchase a healing item or solution. The requirement is to cure a rare disease in the late stage without sequelae. Reward … 200,000 game points (The customer currently does not have enough game points. According to the rules, a Grade-B item will be used as a guarantee for payment. If the payment cannot be completed, the Grade-B item will be used to complete the transaction.]
A transaction reward of 200,000 game points?!! And the payment guarantee was a Grade-B item!!!
The entire forum was in an uproar!!!
One had to know that players could only earn a few dozen game points in a single dungeon run. 200,000 game points was an astronomical number for any player, let alone a Grade-B item.
So far, only two Grade-B items had appeared, and one of them had disappeared very quickly. So, Grade-B items were basically the strongest items that players could obtain. Unfortunately, the number of Grade-B items was also pitifully low. There were almost no Grade-B items in circulation on the market. For example, the Dreamland of Death that appeared at the auction was a complete accident. The three major guilds could not decide who would own it, so they had no choice but to put it up for public auction. It was almost certain that the Dreamland of Death would fall into the hands of one of the guilds. However, they did not expect Lady Sunglasses to sneak in and steal it.
Considering that Simon obviously did not have 200,000 game points on him, it meant that he was likely to pay with that Grade-B item. This was the first time a player had publicly traded a Grade-B item, and the one who did it was Simon, the current number one player on the leaderboard.
Soon, the forum's traffic record was broken again, and more and more posts were discussing this matter.
[Simon looking to purchase a healing item. Could it be that he has a terminal illness?]
[Spokesperson: Ice Shrimp]
[Not necessarily. Maybe it's a family or friend. After all, it's a bit unrealistic for someone with a terminal illness to be so aggressive.]
[Spokesperson: Ball Lightning]
[This person must be very important to him since he's willing to take out a Grade-B item.]
[Spokesperson: Little Tail]
[As expected of the number one player on the leaderboard. He's too bold. Although everyone had guessed that he should have a Grade-B item or above, this is equivalent to him directly admitting that he has a Grade-B item. He doesn't belong to any guild. Isn't he afraid of being targeted?]
[Spokesperson: Vanquish Youth]
[Is there anyone in this world who would dare to target Simon?]
[Spokesperson: Little Tail]
[Theoretically, no. After all, no one would want to live longer. However, this was a Grade-B item, and Simon was only one person. At most, he would have his teammates. There was no shortage of people in this world who would want to gamble.]
[Spokesperson: Revolver]
