Chapter 222: Survival Game System (51)

The events that occurred this night were recorded in the annals of Gaia Star.

This day was also referred to by the people of Gaia Star as the first year of the Interstellar Era.

From then on, Gaia Star entered a period of rapid development in the Interstellar Era.

【How about it? Have you considered it? Why not come with this System to other planes to play the Survival Game!】

Xie Yang truly did not expect to be poached by the Survival Game System.

She was between laughter and tears: "I still have a Task to complete; if you don't believe me, ask the Main System. Haven't you two already communicated?"

The Survival Game System's electronic voice carried a note of disdain:

【What is there to do in a Task? Going to various planes to play the Survival Game is what's exciting! Aren't you quite capable? How can you let that guy boss you around? What benefits has it given you? It should be enough that this System gives more than it does, right?】

Main System: 【...】

Had it given the Host any rewards?

It seemed not.

It had only given a promise: once all the bugged Sub-systems scattered across the planes were recovered, it would send her back to the moment of her ascension, not delaying her Ascend to the Immortal Realm to live in retirement, and additionally, it would gift her a repaired Sub-system as compensation.

If this were known by its wealthy and powerful peers, they would surely mock it for being stingy.

The Main System, which still wanted to save face: 【You can't just poach like this! Everything has an order of arrival.】

After rebuffing its peer from a different system, it looked eagerly at Xie Yang: 【Host, System believes you are a person who keeps their word!】

As it spoke, it kicked the Sub-system that still didn't understand the situation, signaling it to say something too, instead of just watching the show.

【Ah? Oh! Host, I am very useful! If you go to the Survival Game plane to seek excitement, take me with you! No rush for factory repairs! These few bugs won't cost any lives.】

Main System: 【...】

Who told you to say those things?

Xie Yang was amused by the silly and cute Sub-system.

Now she was certain that these two systems were not from the same framework.

They were completely in two different dimensions of intelligence!

But then again, these Sub-systems were all quite interesting and cute, which made her curious about what the next Sub-system would be? And what kind of fun it would bring her?

As for the Survival Game System, it was said to have been out of the factory for many years; before coming to Gaia Star, it had already been to countless planes, and the number of plane players it had captured was too many to count.

Using a pair of invisible eyes that it thought had seen everything and understood the coldness of the world, it watched players tremble as they struggled to survive in the game world it controlled, filled with nothing but malicious amusement.

Had she not had enough of the immersive experience in the game for a year? Her brain would have to be broken to go and experience it season after season!

Xie Yang decisively refused.

The Survival Game System felt quite regretful:

【Then when you finish your Task, have your system contact this System, and this System will take you to different planes to enjoy the excitement.】

Xie Yang: "..."

It was afraid it would never get that chance.

Once the Task was completed, she would definitely choose to continue to Ascend to the Immortal Realm to live a leisurely life of retirement!

But in order not to provoke the other party, Xie Yang returned a polite smile.

Even though the Survival Game System had "debuted" for many years, it was ultimately a system, not a human, and did not read the deeper meaning of this smile. Instead, it felt that this player, Xie Yang, although she loved to take advantage and find loopholes, had a really good personality, and at parting, it generously gave her a gift—

That golden snub-nosed monkey squatting on Xie Yang's shoulder, scratching its ears and cheeks!

【Normally, living creatures are not allowed to be taken out of the game by players, but since you are the first low-level star native recognized by this System! It's yours! You're welcome!】

Xie Yang: "..."

She turned her head and engaged in a staring contest with the little monkey, which was also tilting its head and blinking its sparkling big eyes.

Immediately after, like all surviving players, she was ejected from the game.

It was just slightly different from the other surviving players—

Besides bringing back over ten billion in supplies that would require thousands of extra-large shipping containers to hold, she also had a living golden snub-nosed monkey in her arms!

For the Backpack Slot used to store supplies, the Survival Game System gave players a ten-day transition period.

After ten days, whether the supplies were cleared out or not, the Backpack Slot would be reclaimed by the System.

Therefore, she had to transfer all the supplies in the Backpack Slot within ten days.

But the savings left by the original owner were limited; going to the large docks to rent shipping containers, she couldn't rent many at all.

Just as she was pondering the best plan, she discovered something wrong.

What was with the elite troop stationed outside her rental house that was said to be there to protect her?

Before she had even come out, did the country already know she was carrying priceless treasures?

"You have misunderstood, Ms. Xie, we are only here under orders to protect you and your residence."

The young man in the lead gave a military salute and explained politely:

"The government has also arranged a new residence for you, Ms. Xie, which is excellent in both safety and confidentiality; we are just waiting for you to return to handle the registration. Would you like to move now? The house is equipped with basic furniture and appliances, and you can move in with just your bags."

Xie Yang: "..."

Returning from the game, and the country even solves the housing problem? Is it that good?

She lowered her head and sent a message to Fu Zhangzheng.

Before parting, the 33 players on the Regional Channel had all left each other contact information.

However, compared to other players, she trusted Fu Zhangzheng a bit more; after all, the two had fought side-by-side and covered each other's backs against several groups of Mutation Wolf.

She asked Fu Zhangzheng if he had received a house issued by the government? Was this a benefit every player had?

The other party replied very quickly: 【Yes! Every player has one.】

Xie Yang felt relieved.

It was just as well, as she had left large items like mattresses and other bulky furniture and appliances in the game; she really couldn't spare any more space to pack those trivial things. Whatever space she had was used by her to stuff the special supplies from the game.

Since it's move-in ready, what are we waiting for!

She moved into the new house provided by Father Guo that very day.

She even sent word to her adoptive parents' family that she was safe while on the road.

Her adoptive mother was sobbing uncontrollably on the phone, and her adoptive father wasn't much better; he just choked up and couldn't speak after saying "It's good that you're back" a few times.

In the end, it was her adoptive younger sister Xie Ming who snatched the phone from her parents and started chattering away to Xie Yang:

"Sister, is it very dangerous in the game? Is it a wasteland environment like in movies and novels? Or is it constant floods, typhoons, and tsunamis? You didn't get hurt, did you? You must tell us if you're hurt, and go to the hospital immediately. You can't put it off, you know?"

"Sister, can you see everything happening in the outside world from inside the game? The Protective Shield of many countries has disappeared, and our country is the only one whose players haven't died in the game! I'm proud to be a citizen of the Dragon Country!"

"Sister, now that the game is over, the Protective Shield hasn't disappeared yet—is it really ours to keep forever?"

"Sister,..."

... blabla...

At the end, she said expectantly: "Sister, Mom, Dad, and I all miss you so much. Do you think you could come back and stay for a few days? Or should we go to Lucheng to keep you company? Whatever is convenient for you, we're fine with anything!"

"I still have things to handle these next few days; I'll return home in ten days."

Xie Yang set a time for the reunion with her adoptive family, and she arrived at her new home.

The apartment Father Guo rewarded her with was located in the center of the most expensive new district in Lucheng.

It was two or three hundred meters walking distance from the newly relocated municipal government building, the municipal square with its fountain garden was right across from the residential complex, and the surrounding area was packed with CBDs, Complex shopping malls, and commercial buildings built over the subway.

Whether in terms of environment or transportation, it was one of the best in all of Lucheng.

Xie Yang was very satisfied with the apartment Father Guo rewarded her with, but she was exhausted now.

Upon arriving at her new home, she didn't even bother to look around before hugging a quilt and sleeping like the dead.

After waking up fully rested, she turned on her phone, and countless calls and text messages flooded in.

Ming Hao, Chen Shuoyun, Chang Lebao, and many other single friends wanted to come to Lucheng to treat her to a meal.

Feng Hongmei, Zhuang Fuda, and the others who had families all coincidentally sent her huge red envelopes, enthusiastically inviting her to visit the cities they lived in, offering to cover all her food, lodging, and travel expenses.

Fu Zhangzheng also left her a message, asking her to remember to contact him once she was well-rested, as he had something quite important.

Since he put it that way, Xie Yang naturally had to contact him first.

Once she made that contact, she got in touch with Father Guo...
