"Yes," Pei Yanzhi said, dotingly stroking Shi Wu's hair.
He led her to the basement level.
The theme of this level was: Virtual Space.
Pei Yanzhi put his arm around Shi Wu's shoulder, standing on the second floor, looking at the players below.
He explained, "All players who enter here need to wear special glasses. The wealth displayed in the glasses is the player's real wealth in their actual life."
"In the virtual world, everything can be used as a chip."
"Memories, blood, life..."
"Once the game starts, the body feels as if it has transcended into another dimension."
"You have no helpers, only yourself."
"Other players are all opponents; they can take away your wealth, and they can also take away your life."
"And what you need to do is survive."
Pei Yanzhi noticed that when he finished speaking, a hint of sadness appeared in Shi Wu's eyes.
Her hand also gripped his arm very tightly, as if she was scared?
"What's wrong?" Pei Yanzhi asked with concern.
Shi Wu shook her head, forcing a slight smile on her face.
"Nothing, I just feel... it's not very fun. Yanzhi, let's go out for some fresh air. I feel a bit stuffy here."
Shi Wu said, letting go of his hand and turning to leave the room.
Pei Yanzhi quickly followed.
They went all the way to the deck, where the wind blew her hair, making it dance.
Pei Yanzhi stood behind her, his heart in a tangle.
Judging by the time, the effects of her medicine might be slowly wearing off.
That's why a sad expression appeared on her face just now, right?
At this moment, Pei Yanzhi tightly clutched the medicine in his hand.
His heart was pounding.
Not wanting to lose her, he just wanted to sink into depravity with her...
If only the medicine's effects could last forever.
The devil in his mind told him that as long as he injected the medicine into her body, they could be together forever.
But his reason told him not to do that.
"Yanzhi," Shi Wu turned around, a hint of confusion in her eyes as she looked at him.
"I'm here," Pei Yanzhi put the medicine back into his pocket and walked in front of her.
He wanted to raise his hand to hug her, but he tried hard to restrain himself.
Because he wasn't sure if Shi Wu was sober or if the medicine was still in effect.
"Is the Virtual Space something you created?" Shi Wu asked.
Pei Yanzhi, who was always emotionally sensitive, quickly noticed the change in her expression.
His hands involuntarily clenched a bit, and he asked in a low voice, "You don't like it?"
Shi Wu didn't speak, but just leaned into his embrace, pressing her cheek tightly against his chest.
She couldn't describe whether she liked it or not.
Because she felt that world was very similar to the relationship between herself and the System Administration Bureau.
She had struggled from a novice with 0 points to where she was now, finally having the opportunity to choose her own missions.
But she had also changed a lot because of it; her heart had become darker, so when she saw Pei Yanzhi's world on the verge of collapse, she unhesitatingly chose to come here.
Pei Yanzhi was like another version of herself.
She wanted to save Pei Yanzhi, and at the same time, save herself.
"It's cold, husband, let's go back and rest. I don't want to play anymore."
Shi Wu hooked her arms around his neck, acting spoiled.
"Okay."
Hearing her call him husband made his legs almost buckle.
He happily carried the woman onto the helicopter and left the cruise ship.
...At this moment, Wen Yitong was extremely depressed.
Weilike had a bit of novelty for her in the first few days and would buy her gifts.
But that only lasted about a week, and Weilike already had a new lover.
Wen Yitong felt extremely wronged.
"I have the figure, I have the looks, why can't he treat me sincerely?"
Wen Yitong muttered to herself as she walked into a second-hand luxury goods recycling store on the street.
She handed the items Weilike had given her to the clerk.
"Take a look and see how much these can be exchanged for."
"Let me tell you first, I won't sell them if the price is too low. I've done my research online, and many styles are overpriced, so don't just quote any price!"
The clerk maintained a polite smile and examined them carefully.
She glanced at the beautiful girl in front of her, wondering if she had misjudged.
Wen Yitong still retained the elegant and noble demeanor of being pampered by Pei Yanzhi in her previous life, looking like a young lady of a wealthy family.
How could such a girl receive fake goods?
After looking at them several times, the clerk tactfully advised, "Miss, why don't you try another store? I... don't accept these."
Wen Yitong was stunned.
She seemed unable to believe what she had heard.
"What do you mean? Such a big store like yours can't even take these goods? Call your boss!"
At this moment, Wen Yitong still thought the other party didn't have enough money to buy them.
"No, Miss, your items... are fake." The clerk had no choice but to be direct.
Wen Yitong's face instantly turned red. She grabbed her bag and necklace, looking at them repeatedly.
"That's impossible, look again carefully!"
"You should try other stores," the clerk advised.
Wen Yitong didn't believe it and immediately went to nearby stores, but unexpectedly, the unanimous reply was that they were fake.
At this, her heart instantly sank by half!
Weilike, that bastard, actually gave her fakes!
Wen Yitong angrily returned to Weilike's home.
She threw the bag and necklace she was holding onto Weilike.
Weilike, who was still half-asleep, angrily sprang up from the bed.
"Are you crazy!"
Wen Yitong slapped him in frustration.
"You bastard, you gave me fakes and still have the nerve to say I'm crazy?!"
Weilike, who had been exposed, showed no intention of apologizing.
He rubbed his reddened cheek and sneered, "I buy fakes to deal with women like you who are after my money."
"Can you say you're not with me for my money?"
Wen Yitong was speechless.
"Are you saying you genuinely like me?" Weilike sneered, pushing all the fake goods on the bed onto the floor.
"Alright, take your things and get out."
Saying this, Weilike turned around, poking Wen Yitong's chest with his finger, enunciating each word: "You only deserve these fakes!"
Wen Yitong stood rooted to the spot, her face pale.
She couldn't believe she had been played by Weilike.
If she left now, she would have been used for nothing, and her mother's surgery fees wouldn't be raised.
What should she do?
Wen Yitong collapsed onto the floor in tears, utterly broken.
Weilike, however, froze. He asked, somewhat at a loss, "Why are you crying?"
Wen Yitong looked at him with red eyes, pitifully saying, "I genuinely liked you, but you trampled on me like this. Weilike, I really misjudged you. Is my love so worthless in your eyes?"
Weilike's eyes instantly became a little flustered.
"You said you, like me?"
Wen Yitong nodded.
"I'm sorry, it was my mistake. I was actually trying to test you, but I didn't expect you to be different from other women." Weilike hugged Wen Yitong.
Weilike: Hehe, keep pretending, let's see how long you can keep it up.
