Chapter 973: An'an

After taking care of that, with the congestion incident over there handled, Su Sheng idly strolled around Yanhuang Town twice.

Seeing Yanhuang Town's development, full of vigor and prosperity, Su Sheng couldn't help but smile.

After wandering around, Su Sheng unknowingly strolled through Yanhuang Town for an hour.

He eventually arrived at the spot where a group of fishing enthusiasts were hard at work…

Seeing this, Su Sheng felt a sudden urge.

Since he had no handy weapon anyway, he decided to fish today; catching a dragon carp would not be a loss.

Su Sheng smacked his lips, feeling an itch in his hands, as if he were turning into a fishing enthusiast himself.

Su Sheng shook his head, dismissed the random thought, and then started walking along the riverbank.

He then helplessly discovered there were no spare fishing spots left for him.

Last time he was just lucky; apparently some big brother had to go offline due to real-life matters, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten a spot.

As for affecting traffic on the bridge, forget it…

Helpless, he also couldn't be bothered to go out to the wilderness to look for a fishing spot.

In that case, he might as well grab a random weapon from the guild warehouse for temporary use and go level up.

Afterward, Su Sheng went to the guild warehouse, picked out a longsword, and headed straight to the level‑75 training spot.

A blue level‑70 longsword, he was still one level short… he casually slapped a Heavenly Craft Stone onto it and took it.

It wasn't that there were no purple ones; mainly…

On the weapon, there were extra physique bonuses, which don't count…

By coincidence, this blue level‑70 longsword had two physique bonuses… almost exclusive to defensive knights, but it was fine for his temporary use.

Arriving at the training spot, he saw a few squads scattered about; some were Yanhuang's elite squads, others belonged to other guilds.

At this stage, few people can come to the level‑75 training spot.

Because the numbers are low and the training spot is large, Yanhuang's side hasn't reserved it exclusively.

After greeting those Yanhuang squads, Su Sheng started grinding monsters on his own.

It had been a while since he used a one‑handed sword; lacking Divine Thunder Magic Light in hand, his stats were a bit lacking… but after equipping the Victory Chant gear, his stats actually rose a bit.

Grinding normal monsters was naturally easy.

Furthermore, wielding a longsword with one hand and a spear with one hand reduced the difficulty by several notches.

Comfortable!

Tsk!

How come Divine Thunder Magic Light is a spear? If it were a longsword, it would be comfortable.

A spear with a shield is indeed a bit less agile in operation… so in previous global martial arts tournaments, Su Sheng often dropped the shield and fought with the spear two‑handed.

Moreover…

Fengwu and Fengwu (Crazy) — the two siblings — happened to be with an elite squad training here, and Feng Wu Jiu Tian silently tossed a few buffs at Su Sheng.

With the Holy Words priest's buff, hitting these level‑75 normal monsters was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.

He kept grinding for several hours; when the game time had five or six hours left, a little surprise came.

He spawned a level‑76 normal boss.

Naturally, the Yanhuang squad took it on.

Other squads saw the boss too, but it was just a normal‑level boss, and since it was on Yanhuang's turf, they naturally didn't compete with the Yanhuang squad.

It was merely a normal‑level boss; after Su Sheng went up to help, he easily took it down.

However, it didn't drop anything great — just two level‑75 purple items, one leather armor and one cloth armor.

The remaining blue and green items, Su Sheng felt he hadn't seen from a boss in a long time.

It could only be considered a small interlude…

Continue grinding monsters.

Only when the game time was about to end did Su Sheng crush the Return City Scroll.

The dwarves' residential area was still packed with people.

However, as the big boss of Yanhuang Town, Su Sheng naturally didn't need to queue.

He went straight to the blacksmith shop's entrance, saw that the time was about right, and chose to log off.

Tomorrow, as soon as he logs on, he'll be able to obtain the upgraded Divine Thunder Magic Light.

…

Logging off, it was almost routine to be all snuggly with Huan Jie for a while before going to work…

This job, actually Su Sheng could have quit long ago.

But staying at home, there are all kinds of messy matters, after all the Yanhuang Club is quite large.

Those scattered trifles — Su Sheng had helped Huan Jie handle them a few times before, and later he felt his head ache.

Su Sheng, who had originally planned to resign, immediately killed that idea.

No, even if he really resigned, he'd have to wait for the Yanhuang Building to be completed, the club to get on track, and… get Chen Guan that old brat into management before he could resign as well.

But after staying half a day at school, with nothing to do in the afternoon, he arranged the schedule and simply took a half‑day leave.

After visiting Lu Zhe's home, Su Sheng went to buy some gifts and then headed straight to the hospital.

He found Chen Jianping accompanying his daughter!

"Will…"

Seeing Su Sheng approach, Chen Jianping couldn't help but startle.

But just as Chen Jianping's words left his mouth, Su Sheng shushed him.

Chen Jianping quickly reacted, opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment: "Boss Su, how did you come here?"

Although he was a life player, he also knew just how fearsome the reputation of their chairman was in the gaming circle.

Coupled with the current popularity of the game "Zhu Lu", just while staying in the hospital to look after his daughter, Jianping heard many patients and medical staff talking about this game.

Even many night-shift medical staff swapped shifts under various conditions just to be able to play the game.

But being medical professionals is obligatory, and there's nothing they can do about that.

Moreover, not everyone can make money in the game; even if they earn a little, it's only extra income, insufficient to live off that game revenue, so ultimately the game is just a form of entertainment for them.

They still have to be beasts of burden…

"Come see your daughter; she's been here a while, and I still haven't come to visit."

Su Sheng said with a smile, "How come Chen Jianping is already the chief alchemist of my Yanhuang Guild?"

Since he arrived, dragon blood secret medicine, magic resistance potion, instant recovery potion, and various other potions can be produced… although the material consumption is relatively high.

And the bedside bed.

A little girl in a hospital gown, An'an, sat half-upright, her eyes wide open as she curiously looked at herself, a soft little hat perched on her head…

Su Sheng knew that was to cover the hair loss after chemotherapy.

Chen Jianping, Chen An'an… Chen Jianping's gaming nickname… Pingping Ping'an.

Su Sheng felt somewhat moved…

"Hello, little friend Chen An'an."

Su Sheng smiled gently and greeted.

"Uncle, are you my dad's boss?"

Chen An'an asked softly…

"Yes."

"He's Uncle Su, and also my dad's boss."

Chen Jianping smiled as he introduced, never expecting Su Sheng to come over.

"Uncle, could you not make Dad work so hard?" the little girl blinked her eyes at Su Sheng.

"Um…" Su Sheng was momentarily at a loss for words.

"An'an, don't talk nonsense; Dad isn't suffering anymore." Chen Jianping quickly spoke up.

The little girl was very well-behaved and sensible…

As for Chen Jianping's hardships, that was before he joined Yanhuang…

Back then, he couldn't earn much in the game, and in reality he had to work extra to pay for his daughter's medical expenses while also taking care of her.

But now Yanhuang treats him very well…

It's enough to cover his daughter's medical expenses, with a little left over.
