Chapter 1009: Showing One's Hand

…

As for outside matters, the scholar in the game naturally doesn't know.

At this moment, he was earnestly doing his task.

Even with the Old Tyrant Giant Monster, he had taken care of over eighty in one go, but he was still six or seven hundred away from 1,000.

He simply did the quest while leveling up, since there was nothing else to do.

Thus, a day of game time passed just like that.

When he logged off, the quest target had reached over 580, close to 600.

At this rate, with another day tomorrow and the day after, he should be able to finish the quest.

Su Sheng had already begun to look forward to this skill.

Hopefully it's an AOE or something.

…

When at work, Xuan Yu Wu found Su Sheng.

He told Su Sheng that Cang Long had already approved this matter, but they needed to sign a confidentiality agreement.

"In the evening, they'll arrange a teammate to go back with you, bringing the confidentiality agreement."

Xuan Yu Wu said.

These things, Su Sheng naturally understood as well, and he nodded.

So that day, Su Sheng left work early.

He returned home and gathered his father, mother, and Huan Jie together, presenting the confidentiality agreement with a very solemn expression.

"What is this?"

Su Ba curiously asked.

And Lin Huan had already opened it to look.

"Confidentiality agreement?"

Lin Huan looked at that document in surprise; although it was her first time encountering it, she still knew a bit about it.

She just didn't understand why Su Sheng, as soon as he came back, produced several confidentiality agreements for them—what did it mean?

"It's of great importance; you sign first, and I'll explain later."

Su Sheng said.

Lin Huan had no hesitation; she believed Su Sheng wouldn't harm her, so she signed directly.

Seeing this, Su Ba and Su Ma said nothing and also signed.

Afterwards, Su Sheng put the documents away, then with a very solemn expression revealed some of the game-related secrets.

After hearing this, whether it was Lin Huan or Su Ba and Su Ma, they were all very surprised.

They all thought it was just a very popular game, never expecting that behind it lay such secrecy.

It was just that the division of New Energy was actually decided in the game, which no matter how you hear it feels somewhat unbelievable.

But they all knew that Su Sheng had previously been in a special unit of the military, so he wouldn't joke about this with them.

But after coming to his senses, Su Ba instead got excited: "Does that mean we're contributing to the country while playing the game?!"

Su Sheng slightly nodded: "Indeed, that can be said, especially our Yan Huang, which is now also considered a civilian force supported by the state."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huan's expression tightened.

"Well… Ah Sheng, you should just manage it yourself; I'm afraid…"

Before this, Lin Huan only thought Yan Huang was Su Sheng's own business, never expecting that behind it was actually of great importance.

In a moment, Lin Huan felt the pressure was enormous.

But Su Sheng smiled slightly, took Lin Huan's hand, and placed it in his own.

"It's fine, Huan Jie; you're doing well now, just keep it up."

Su Sheng spoke soothingly.

At this moment, Lin Huan only just calmed her mind, but her thoughts had already begun to consider whether some of the previous policies were still suitable.

However, Su Sheng then said: "Don't overthink it; just treat it as before. After all, Yan Huang ultimately is indeed our family's business."

Lin Huan slightly nodded, but then immediately noticed the gazes of Su Ba and Su Ma directed at her.

Lin Huan's face turned slightly red, and she hurriedly pulled her hand out of Su Sheng's hand.

Although Lin Huan actually also understood, her parents knew about her relationship with Su Sheng.

But as a daughter, she ultimately still had some reserve…

Su Ba and Su Ma exchanged a glance, both wearing a hint of a smile.

"Cough cough… In other words, Ah Sheng, you came back from discharge just for this?"

Su Ma asked at this time; she also knew Lin Huan was shy, so she changed the subject.

Upon hearing this, Su Sheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

Then Su Sheng slightly shook his head: "It could also be considered a fortunate coincidence; this area just happened to be handled by my former superior."

At this moment, Lin Huan thought of the 3,000 members of Yin Long.

At first glance, Lin Huan knew these people, although they were veterans, were definitely not ordinary veterans; many had disabilities, and those injuries were clearly not ordinary wounds.

But she didn't ask too much; now thinking about it, it really wasn't that simple.

Ordinary veterans are fine to talk about, but those special veterans aren't so easy to recruit.

As for the specific reasons for Su Sheng's own discharge, that also counts as a confidential document, so Su Sheng didn't say much either.

"Then, we sign this confidentiality agreement, and you still haven't told us what it's for?"

However, Su Ba still paid some attention to the international situation; mainly, after the scholar joined the army, Su Ba paid more attention to this aspect.

Because he knew his son was in the troops, and it was a special unit.

Since this game is related to New Energy, then with my son now, and also Yan and Huang, their standing in the game.

Su Ba had some suspicions in his heart, so his expression became somewhat solemn.

Speaking of this, Su Sheng's expression also turned solemn.

"Indeed, that's why I'm telling you this situation."

"Because this game involves a lot, after the global martial arts competition, there are some unsavory things outside."

Su Ba, Mother Su, and Lin Huan's expressions instantly turned unpleasant.

"Ah Sheng, well, we could just not play this game now; anyway we've earned quite a bit, enough for our family to live a lifetime."

At this moment, Mother Su, Huang Hui, opened her mouth with some worry.

Anyway, Su Ba, who is usually henpecked, sternly rebuked his wife at this moment: "What does a woman's proper conduct know?"

"Country, country; only with a country can there be a home. Some responsibilities must be borne, let alone Ah Sheng still being a soldier."

Su Ba spoke.

"But Ah Sheng has already been discharged, right?"

Mother Su still wanted to say something, but seeing Su Ba's stern expression, she lowered her head and said nothing more.

Su Sheng continued to speak at this moment: "Don't worry, Mom and Dad; now my former comrades have come to protect us."

"Including the area around our home, there is protection from our comrades, though they remain in the shadows."

"Moreover, our family's situation has not been exposed, so in the game we should try not to expose our real-life status."

"Furthermore, we should reduce unnecessary outings during this period."

"If we really encounter any danger, trust my comrades; they will protect us well."

"Then Ah Sheng, you still have to go to work every day…"

Mother Su said with some worry.

"Don't worry, first of all, not to mention my comrades are here, and moreover, the senior official above specially approved weapons for me."

"If anyone really comes looking for trouble, it's not certain who will cause trouble for whom." Su Sheng laughed confidently.
