My Exclusive Dream World Adventures
Chapter 256 - Chapter 256 256-star game

Chapter 256: 256-star game Chapter 256: 256-star game The car stopped, and Chen Xu looked out of the window, the hospital had arrived.

He didn’t get out of the car. The matter Yang Jinxia had just shared with him had finally made him resolute. He spoke up, “I need your help.”

Seeing that he was serious, Yang Jinxia closed the document in her hand and asked, “What is it?”

Chen Xu said, “I need some investment.”

After a moment of thought, Yang Jinxia asked, “Is one hundred million enough?”

Her casual demeanor suddenly added more pressure on Chen Xu’s heart. He had always known that she was not just anyone, but he didn’t have a direct understanding of that fact until now, truly sensing how rich she was.

He hadn’t even mentioned what he wanted to invest in, and she had offered a hundred million straightaway. This was an amount that the vast majority of people couldn’t earn in a lifetime. Even for him, reaching this level of personal wealth optimistically would take years.

He said, “I won’t need that much initially, only twenty million.”

“Alright, just tell me when you need it, and I’ll transfer it directly to you.”

Chen Xu said, “Don’t you want to ask what I plan to do with this money?”

Yang Jinxia smiled and said, “If you are asking me for it, you must be quite confident, right?”

Chen Xu was indeed very confident. Originally, he did not want his feelings to be tainted by financial aspects. The lure of money was too powerful, and he feared it would corrupt his relationship with Yang Jinxia.

But Yang Jinxia had just mentioned thirty billion, which weighed heavily on him. Such a vast fortune left no room for reconciliation between Luo Zhenghai and her.

If he wanted Luo Xiyun to be with Yang Jinxia, not to mention anything else, just passing the hurdle that was Luo Zhenghai would be impossible.

What kind of person was Luo Zhenghai? By comparison, he was nothing but a small fry at this point. If Luo Zhenghai was determined to deal with him, he wouldn’t even have the capacity to protect himself.

Although Yang Jinxia would surely protect him, entrusting one’s own safety to someone else was extremely foolish. Only by becoming strong himself could he be truly secure.

It was this pressure that finally made him cast aside his reservations and ask Yang Jinxia for help.

For him, the most difficult part was the first pot of gold. Gathering twenty million in starting funds under normal circumstances would take years. He couldn’t wait that long now.

“You know that I’ve learned quite a bit using the ‘learning machine.'” He voluntarily shared part of the truth with her, “I plan to start a business with something from it that doesn’t require too much investment.”

Yang Jinxia nodded and said, “However, you must wait until you’ve recovered from your illness before you can do this. In the meantime, what you need to do is recuperate well.”

……

Chen Xu returned to his ward, lay down on the bed, and soon fell asleep. He hadn’t slept all night, got up in the morning to look for Luo Xiyun, and had just spent a long time talking with Yang Jinxia, which was both emotionally and mentally draining, making him very tired.

He didn’t know how long he slept, but in his dreams, he seemed to hear Chen Ziqi’s voice.

By the time he woke up, the ward’s light was on, and looking out the window, he saw that it was indeed night. He checked his phone and it was already eight o’clock; he had slept for over ten hours.

“Chen Xu, you’re finally awake.”

A familiar voice sounded, and he turned his head to see, if not Chen Ziqi, who else.

“When did you get here?” He sat up feeling extremely hungry and asked, “Is there anything to eat?”

“Quick, help your brother bring the food over.” Zeng Wenli was also there; hearing his request, she picked up the meal box and walked over, calling Chen Ziqi to join her.

Chen Xu accepted the meal box and started eating with his chopsticks, his words muffled, “Didn’t you say you were going to stay at your grandma’s place longer?”

Chen Ziqi dragged over a stool and sat down in front of the bed, saying, “It’s all because of you. When Old Chen told me you were sick and in the hospital, I hurried back. You don’t seem to have anything serious though, you can eat and sleep just fine.”

“There was never anything serious to begin with. It seems to me you just wanted an excuse to come back.” Chen Xu’s mood improved a lot upon seeing her.

Chen Ziqi sighed and said, “Ah, you don’t know how enthusiastic my grandma is. She keeps holding my hand and tearing up, talking about how hard her daughter’s life was… Every time I mentioned coming back, she’d start crying. What could I do?”

Chen Xu said with surprise, “Then how did you persuade her this time?”

“I told her that you’re like my own brother, yadda yadda yadda, after much pleading, and even shed a few tears, that she finally let me go.”

As they chatted, Chen Xu ate quickly, polishing off all the food.

Zeng Wenli came over to clean up and asked, “Are you full? If not enough, I can go out and get you a fast food meal.”

“I’m full.” Chen Xu was already six to seven parts full and didn’t want to trouble her.

“By the way, here’s something for you.” Chen Ziqi brought over a bag from somewhere and handed it to him.

“Another gift?” Chen Xu took it out for a look; it was a bag of tea leaves wrapped quite simply.

Chen Ziqi said, “This is wild mountain tea from my grandma’s own plantation. Oh, and where is your sister-in-law? Why didn’t she come? I sent her a message this afternoon, and she still hasn’t replied.”

Chen Xu’s smile faded a bit as he said, “She has been busy these past few days and couldn’t make it.”

Chen Ziqi looked at him with some confusion but didn’t ask further, saying, “Well, I’ll give it to her next time.”

They chatted for a while longer, and around ten o’clock, Chen Ziqi and Zeng Wenli left, leaving Chen Xinwen to keep watch in the hospital.

With Chen Ziqi gone, the hospital room became a lot quieter.

Despite the lateness, Chen Xu wasn’t very sleepy, having just slept for over a dozen hours and feeling quite energized. Nevertheless, not wanting to disturb his dad’s rest, he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and activated the virtual dream device interface.

He opened his personal center and found the personal games section, which listed four games that he had experienced in dream form: “Survival of the Doomsday,” “Beast Invasion,” “Era of Mist,” and a Valentine’s Day special edition.

Besides these, there were two other games as compensation, marked with question marks.

These two-star games were given to him as compensation, and the difference between star games and ordinary ones wasn’t yet clear to him. The events of the previous night had been too abrupt for him to check.

“The system will randomly draw a star game for you. Please look forward to it.”

After he clicked on it, he saw this prompt. Then, the question marks started jumping quickly, too fast to discern the flashing text.

“Stop.”

“Congratulations, you have obtained the two-star game ‘Exploration Team.’ Would you like to start the game?”

Seeing the name, Chen Xu really couldn’t tell much and asked, “What’s special about this star game?”

“Star games allow you to invite other players to join, with longer time spans, providing a better gaming experience for players.”

In other words, they could be played like an online game.

Too bad, that wasn’t much use to him.

He asked again, “Can I take a partner into it?”

“When you enter the game, the system will automatically send an invitation to your partner. If they agree, they can join the dream game.”

“No problem, then.”

Chen Xu took a deep breath and chose to enter.

“Sorry, your body isn’t in a completely healthy state. According to regulations, you cannot enter the star game. Please go to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible and return to the game when you are healthy.”

“There’s such a rule?” He frowned.

Since that was the case, he had no choice but to give up the idea for now and opened the replay function. He spent ten Game Coins and selected the second dream.

His goal was the data he had once seen at the control center of the sanctuary. For Earth, to say that data was invaluable was no exaggeration.

PS: It’s the end of the month, I ask for monthly tickets.
