Chapter 437 - Hannahs Question (2/2)

”Oh no. Mei'er is fine. Little Yu here on the other hand is particularly tired from helping everyone overnight. I was bringing him to his room to rest,” Shi Nangong said.

”Ah, yes of course, Auntie. Sorry for stopping you, junior brother,” Xiao Huang said and left.

”This is your room. If you need anything, just ask any servant in the house. I will leave you alone now,” Shi Nangong said and left.

Alex entered the yellow-colored room and walked up to the bed. He felt how soft the bed was and just fell on top of it.

”Arghh, that feels… good.” He felt himself losing his mind to sleep but made no effort whatsoever to stop it.

The moment he fell asleep, his eyes opened up. He was inside of his capsule once more.

”Oh right, people automatically log out when they fall asleep in the capsule,” Alex said and pushed open the lid.

Alex got out of the capsule and went to go get fresh. After that, he went to the kitchen to get his meal.

There he saw Hannah heating her food in the microwave.

”YAWN, good afternoon, sister,” Alex said.

”You woke up late too?” Hannah asked.

”Yeah, I ended up making pills from midnight until noon. 12 hours of nonstop pill making. I'm feeling mentally fatigued out of the game too,” Alex said.

”Oh, take care of your body then,” Hannah said.

”Yeah, I need to exercise more often,” Alex said. ”What about you? Why'd you wake up so late?”

”Oh, uh… I just cultivated for a little too long I guess,” Hannah said.

”Huh? I thought you didn't need to cultivate,” Alex asked.

”Whatever, it's my matter. You don't need to know. Here, heat your food too,” Hannah said.

”Why are you getting angry all of a sudden?” Alex asked as he put his bowl in the microwave.

”Let's change the topic. Actually, I wanted to ask you about something,” Hannah said.

”I'm all ears,” Alex said.

”Sigh, do you still believe that the game is real?” Hannah asked.

”Huh? Why are you asking this?” Alex asked.

”Recently… I've started… experiencing stuff that feels way too real to be fake. When I thought about it, I remembered you saying that the game is real. Do you… still believe that?” Hannah asked.

”More than ever actually,” Alex said. ”Someone in the game looked into my memories of real life. That sort of thing shouldn't be possible normally. Not to mention, I've… recreated the formation in the chip and it… works.”

”The plate I made it on was wrong so it did nothing, but it was the right formation. From what I could tell, it's a super high-level formation, one that is not possible in the world of Eternal Cultivation,” Alex said.

”What about you tell me it's just an easter egg?” Hannah asked.

”Maybe. But given everything else that has happened. All the senses, all the information of how taking over a dead body as a clone works to how the people are all so real. Even the language is different in each place. Those sort of thing is hard to make, especially by people that don't have a strong company behind them,” Alex said.

”So believe what you want, but I will believe it's real. That was why I stopped mom and dad from playing too,” Alex said. ”I didn't want them to live in such a world of murder and violence. They would be traumatized if they ever found out it was all real.”

”I…see,” Hannah said. ”You truly thought quite far ahead. I guess you're not the little Alex I knew after all.”

”I… guess,” Alex said. He himself felt like he had been hardened as a person after living in the world of Eternal Cultivation. It was a gradual process, and there was never an immediate change, but he surely felt it now that he thought about it.

”Alright, we'll talk about this some other time. I need to go back soon,” Hannah said and quickly finished her meal.

Alex slowly ate as he had nothing to look forward to in the game for at least 6 hours.

'If I remember correctly, I can't log in while I am asleep right? Or was it only when I fainted?' Alex wondered. 'Whatever, I will just stay outside.'

Alex finished his meal and went to watch some TV. The house was silent with the only sound coming out of the TV. Alex spent the next 6 houses just relaxing, doing nothing.

Finally, once night fell, he went back to his room and got into the game.. It was finally time to go see what the hell was wrong with Luo Mei's father.
