Chapter 224: Survival Game System (53)

In fact, she did not need to hide, nor was she at home, because she had to go to work.

She was now a small, permanent Section Member in the municipal archives!

The archives had little work, few people, and were quiet.

Xie Yang had been there for two days and found she adapted very well.

The key was that she didn't have to get up early, because the office was right next to where she lived; she could just go downstairs and walk two hundred meters to arrive. There probably wasn't anyone else in the whole country with a shorter commute than hers, right?

Upon arriving at the office, she would clock in, brew a cup of tea, and sit at her desk reading the newspaper and sipping tea.

The archives she was responsible for belonged to historical records; usually, almost no one came to retrieve or check files. To be honest, the workload for an entire day was less effort than what she spent chopping down a single tree in the game.

This feeling was just like having worked at a busy, stressful, fast-paced 996 company the day before, and suddenly retiring.

Question: Would she be unable to adapt?

Answer: That doesn't exist!

If she hadn't been bound by the infuriating Main System, why would she have needed to transmigrate to this plane and that plane to complete Tasks everywhere? She would have already Ascended to the Immortal Realm and lived a life of retirement, okay!

Main System: 【...】

It always felt like the Host was being passive-aggressive toward it, but it just had no evidence.

"Xie... Yang Yang?"

Xu Ninghui came to the city center to run errands, and having nowhere to go at noon, she rested at the fountain park in front of the municipal government building.

Seeing Xie Yang, who was taking a walk in the park after lunch, the dark navy uniform made her already fair skin look even more radiant, and she almost couldn't believe her eyes.

Did the country really grant Xie Yang a permanent position?

She wouldn't recognize this uniform wrong!

Her boyfriend's eldest cousin worked at the Lucheng municipal government. Once, when she and her boyfriend passed by the municipal government, it happened to be mealtime, and she specifically went to find his eldest cousin to mooch a meal at the municipal Canteen. The uniform his eldest cousin was wearing at the time was exactly the same as the one on Xie Yang.

At this moment, Xu Ninghui's mood was indescribably complex.

Xie Yang really had good fortune; she was even jealous.

When she got lost as a child, not only did nothing happen to her, but she was adopted by a kind-hearted couple, and she had lived no worse than herself from childhood to adulthood.

The Survival Game System snatched Wanyi players globally, and the Dragon Country was allocated a total of only 33 spots; in all of Lucheng, only Xie Yang was snatched. She had become the focus of the whole city and the "hero" in everyone's mouth.

But she was so weak; she must have clung to the thighs of those powerful big shots to survive until the end of the game, right?

Just for this, the country also gave her a permanent position?

No! That's not all! She vaguely heard that they also gave out bonuses and a house.

The more Xu Ninghui thought about it, the more sour she felt.

Then she thought of one thing:

"I heard you entered the game; when did you come out? Why didn't you tell me when you came out? It's a waste that we're still good sisters!"

Xie Yang looked at her with a half-smile: "Is that so?"

"O-of course." Xu Ninghui gave a dry laugh, "Did you hear something? By the way, have the community staff looked for you recently?"

"No!"

Actually, they had, but Xie Yang had turned them down.

When the original body got lost, her biological parents didn't worry about searching for her; they only blamed each other, leading to a divorce. No one cared about the lost daughter anymore, and instead, they each started new families.

Now that they learned she had been snatched into the game and returned alive, receiving the country's commendation and attention, they wanted to recognize their kin again? In their dreams!

"N-no?" Xu Ninghui echoed dryly.

She thought to herself, how could there not be?

Her mother clearly said the social worker would help contact Xie Yang, and their family wouldn't have to do anything; they just had to sit and wait for people to come to their door to recognize their kin.

At that time, it would inevitably attract interviews and reports from media reporters.

Although she was very resistant to her mother recognizing Xie Yang, she always worried that Xie Yang's appearance would destroy the relationship between her own father and mother.

But the topic #GamePlayerTriumphantReturnRecognizesKin# was indeed very explosive; it might even make her family an internet-famous family, so she had tacitly agreed to this matter of recognizing kin.

But Xie Yang actually said the social worker hadn't contacted her?

What was going on?

Xu Ninghui was distracted for a long time, and when she looked up, she found that Xie Yang had already left the park and used facial recognition to enter the municipal government building. She pursed her lips and picked up her phone to call her mother:

"Mom, guess who I just met? Xie Yang! She is actually working at the municipal government now... Yes! She didn't come to the company to handle the procedures; I thought she was on leave resting at home, but I didn't expect her to jump ship directly... By the way, I see she has no idea about the matter of recognizing kin; the social worker didn't tell her?"

Chen Nianfang on the other end of the phone raised her voice: "Impossible! The community side said they would help contact her. Recognizing kin is a big deal; it's impossible to forget. I'll make a call to ask..."

She hung up her daughter's phone and then dialed the social worker who had come to their home many times over the past year to offer condolences: "Xiao Yao, it's Xie Yang's mother! Hasn't Xie Yang already come out of the game? Why haven't you contacted her to discuss the matter of recognizing kin? Once the date is set, I can make arrangements early... Ah? What did you say? The other party only recognizes her adoptive mother and not me, her biological mother? And you want you all to take back the gifts you gave me for condolences? Is she crazy!"

How could Chen Nianfang accept this result?

She could ignore whether the daughter who got lost in childhood was dead or alive, and she could not recognize the daughter who had grown up, but the daughter who came out of her belly after ten months of pregnancy dared not to recognize her?

Don't even think about it!

Even if she had to make a scene, she would make her take the initiative to recognize her!

Thus, Chen Nianfang began to throw a tantrum and make a scene.

And with Xu Ninghui's help, she recorded a video of herself and posted it online, tearfully explaining that she was the biological mother of Xie Yang, one of the 33 game players, and accusing Xie Yang of being cold-blooded and heartless for not recognizing her biological mother.

Netizens didn't know the inside story and helped to seek justice:

【How can there still be children who don't recognize their biological mother these days? It's simply unfilial!】

【I heard that after these players came out of the game, they got a lot of bonuses and were also allocated a house in the city; they've all gotten arrogant, right? They don't even recognize their biological parents.】

【I heard that these players are all going to be written into history textbooks in the future; do they deserve it with this kind of character?】

【Auntie, go call the police! Go report her! We support you!】

【Can someone in the know explain? Which one is this Xie Yang's game ID? It wouldn't be the one at the bottom, would it? Clinging to the thighs of big shots to barely pass the passing line, and then getting both bonuses and a house? She really has the nerve!】

"Clinging to powerful figures in games, abandoning her own mother in reality—does a person like this deserve to be a new-generation idol? This society is hopeless! Heh!"

#GamePlayerRefusesToAcknowledgeBiologicalMother#

The deeper meaning behind it completely sent this topic soaring.

"Huihui! Help Mom look, is this what it means to be on the trending list?"

Chen Nianfang called Xu Ninghui:

"Look at Mom's account, the followers keep rising, rising by a hundred every time I refresh, rising by a hundred every time I refresh. At this speed, will I be able to start livestream selling and making money soon?"

Xu Ninghui was still at work and had to hide in a restroom stall to log into Weibo.

It really was!

Her mother's video had not only surged onto the trending list, but it also had a deep red "Explosive" tag attached to the end.

She refreshed the popularity index and discovered it was still continuing to climb.

"!!!"

Xu Ninghui's mood was also quite excited.

But for some reason, she suddenly had a rather bad premonition.
