Chapter 226: Disaster Survival System (Volume Complete)

Over there, Xu Ninghui was left completely defenseless by Xie Yang's direct approach.

She never expected that Xie Yang was actually the admirable big shot Wanyi!

No wonder the state gave her a house and even issued her a formal position!

She had brought the state tens of billions in supplies from the game; what was one house and one job compared to that!

If it were her, she would have felt aggrieved if tens of billions in supplies only earned her a house and a job.

If she had known, she wouldn't have let her mother play the victim to garner sympathy.

Bringing up this fact would have been enough to gain countless fans.

Unfortunately, she found out too late!

The audio clip Xie Yang posted not only made her mother afraid to leave the house—getting pelted with rotten vegetable leaves and stinking eggs whenever she did—but it also caused her to lose her job.

Forced by necessity, she wrote a public apology letter online and tagged Xie Yang.

Xie Yang heard the Main System's voice:

【Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing the mission in this plane. The next mission plane is pending activation; reward points are being calculated...】

So, Xu Ninghui's apology was the catalyst for completing the other half of the progress bar, even if the apology wasn't sincere.

She should have said so earlier!

If she had just pressed Xu Ninghui's head down to force an apology, couldn't she have submitted the mission earlier?

Main System: 【Host, you must not have such thoughts; violence is not the way to solve problems.】

Sub-system: 【Host, can you not send me back to the factory for repairs? Sob! I want to stay with you for another five hundred years!】

Main System: 【...】

Have you been watching too many television dramas?

Hurry up and get back to the factory! Stop fighting it for the television all day long.

She immediately balled up the Sub-system and threw it back to the factory for repairs.

Xie Yang said "Oh" with deep meaning: "Who was it that said violence is not the way to solve problems?"

【...】

Regardless, the mission for this plane was now considered successfully completed.

After this, Xie Yang lived a carefree life as an Archive Administrator for the Lucheng municipal government.

Her adoptive parents' family also moved to Lucheng, operating a sea salt specialty store on Binhai Avenue, not far from the city government.

Her adoptive younger sister took the College Entrance Examination and got into Ocean University in Lucheng, and from then on, the family of four was reunited in Lucheng.

However, Xie Yang did not live with them; she only went to her adoptive parents' home after work on holidays or when her unit gave out benefits she couldn't consume alone, to have dinner with them before returning to her own place.

It must be said, the sea salt specialty store run by her adoptive parents was so popular that it didn't even need her to step in and advertise.

Among the customers who came to show their support, those from public institutions who knew the inside story made up the majority.

Knowing that the sea salt from her home was brought out from the game—and the ocean in the game had never been polluted by industry or nuclear waste—they not only issued purchase orders for the Canteen of public institutions but also notified family members to come and buy it.

Next were the players she had met in the game; besides everyone showing up on opening day, they also frequented the shop. In addition to daily salt usage, they suggested gift-box packaging to buy for others.

Han Xinyi, who was far away overseas, even entrusted relatives in the country to come from afar to show their support.

Word of mouth spread, and not only did citizens in the Lucheng area know there was a specialty store on Binhai Avenue selling pure ecological sea salt, but tourists visiting Lucheng also found out, each taking a bag of sea salt home with them.

Over time, this specialty sea salt, endorsed by the state, became a local product of Lucheng.

With this sea salt store, her adoptive parents' retirement was no longer a problem.

Xie Yang could also enjoy the remaining days of this plane without any distractions.

People in the game group often tagged her, inviting her to visit the cities where they lived.

"We'll cover food, lodging, and entertainment, come on, big shot."

"That's right, big shot, your job is basically a retirement post; taking a few days off won't delay anything. Come out and play during the off-season, we all miss you!"

"Or we could all go abroad for a few days; I'm so bored I'm about to grow mushrooms."

"Ah? Are you all going abroad? I'm just preparing to return to the country!"

Han Xinyi, who hadn't had any news for several days, popped up at this moment.

Seeing her online, Xie Yang knew her procedures for returning to the country were almost done, so she made a voice call to her:

"How is it? Those people didn't give you a hard time, did they?"

Before leaving the game, that male player who had repeatedly tried to bully Han Xinyi was finally killed by a Mutant Vine due to his own actions.

After exiting the game, Han Xinyi immediately contacted the local government and voluntarily handed over a portion of the supplies brought out from the game, on the condition that they send people to protect her and her family until she returned to the country to settle down, at which point she would hand over the remaining supplies.

"That family did want to give me a hard time, but the authorities aren't stupid; for the sake of the half of the supplies in my hands, they will protect our family no matter what during this period."

After a full year of training in the game, Han Xinyi had become even stronger than before.

Moreover, a mother is strong; for her son, she could risk everything.

The authorities likely saw her bottom line and weren't stupid enough to offend this Han Xinyi, who held the remaining half of the supplies, for the sake of a male player who had courted his own death in the game.

The authorities hoped to get the remaining half of the supplies as soon as possible, and Han Xinyi hoped to take her parents and son back to the country to settle down as soon as possible, so all the procedures went very smoothly.

"Big shot, when I return to the country, I'll have my son acknowledge you as his godmother; you won't have to do anything, just wait for your godson to show you filial piety."

Xie Yang was amused: "Good! Then I'll be waiting."

She thought Han Xinyi's son was at most in kindergarten, after all, she was still so young, but she didn't expect...

"Th-this is your son?"

Looking at the handsome young man who was a full head taller than her, Xie Yang was so surprised her jaw almost dislocated.

"Yes! Didn't I tell you?" Han Xinyi smiled and brushed back her sexy wavy hair, "I had him when I was sixteen after a forbidden tryst with my first love. Although his biological father was a bit of a jerk, his looks genes are good; don't you think my son is very handsome? I can find a stack of love letters in his schoolbag every day after school. Do you know what I worried about most in the game? I was afraid that if I didn't come home for a year, I'd return to find I had a big grandson."

"..."

That night, after welcoming Han Xinyi and her son, Xie Yang returned home and received a call from Fu Zhangzheng.

After a few pleasantries, the man gave a light cough and changed the subject:

"I saw the group photo you posted; is the one standing between you and Han Xinyi her son?"

"Yeah, unexpected, right? I didn't think her son would be this big already."

"In the game before, I heard her mention a few things about her child's biological father; he seemed to be a scumbag? I don't know if that trait is hereditary. Fortunately, at this age, with proper guidance and cultivation, he can still be molded with a correct outlook on life and values. As it happens, under our team's banner, there is a winter and summer youth program co-organized with the Children's Palace that is just right for a child his age. Do you need me to reserve a spot for him?"

"……"

Xie Yang held it in, but still couldn't help laughing out loud: "Fu Zhangzheng, he is only thirteen years old. Don't tell me you are jealous of a thirteen-year-old minor?"

"Cough……"

From then on, the two pierced through the hazy layer of window paper between them and became each other's partner.

……

When leaving this plane, the Dragon Country authorities had already developed a Protective Shield better suited to their own planet by relying on the stack of Star Interstellar Product blueprints and the Magic Jade Leaf Flower that Xie Yang had handed over.

From then on, Dragon Country gained the recognition of all nations and leapt to become the number one major power on this planet.

If the Protective Shield was the first step for Gaia Star to come into contact with interstellar technology and integrate with advanced civilizations, then using the various ores and energy sources brought out from the game to build a Manned Spaceship capable of breaking through the solar system and leaping across the galaxy was the second step……

There are many more steps in the future; Gaia Star will not be confined to a small corner of the universe forever.

In medicine, Dragon Country was the first to conquer the medical challenge of cancer, and the average lifespan of Gaia Star's people also broke through from seventy to one hundred years old.

Xie Yang's adoptive parents passed away in their ninety-ninth year.

Xie Yang saw them off, then traveled around the world—now updated with the Protective Shield—with Fu Zhangzheng, whose temples were graying but whose physique remained robust, before finally closing her eyes.

【Ding! A new Task world has been opened, please prepare yourself, Host!】
