Online: I Can See Health Bars

Chapter 298: Brainwaves



Fang Yu had a clear self-awareness.

If it weren't for making some money from this game and having some capital, he wouldn't even dare to think about how to live in the future.

Beep beep beep!

Just at that moment, the phone vibrated.

Fang Yu was startled.

He picked up the phone and glanced at it, it was a message from his landlady, Sister Jin.

Fang Yu remembered the last conversation he had was on the day when Sister Jin had a car accident.

Ever since that day, Sister Jin had been busy with something, and he hardly saw her.

Fang Yu had sent a message asking if Sister Jin needed any help, but her reply was simply for him to stay at home and go out less.

Fang Yu wanted to help, but whether in terms of finances or connections like finding lawyers and suing people, he was of no help.

Or to put it another way, as a rich second-generation, Sister Jin had way more resources and connections than he did; she didn't need him to worry unnecessarily.

A strong woman indeed...

Fang Yu sighed.

No wonder he felt more excited about his gaming character.

In reality, all he came into contact with were strong women like Sister Jin, with an unreachably large gap, women from wealthy families.

Other female classmates, he had lost contact with them after graduation.

After all, his previous losses in game leveling and gold farming, incurring debt, wasn't any secret; word had spread among the classmates and left a bad impression, so it was reasonable they didn't keep in touch.

He lost contact with female classmates, and a beauty with wealth like Sister Jin was out of his league; Fang Yu's social circle was small, and in reality, he had no one to date.

"Focus on the career first! Earn money, buy a house, then consider matchmaking, climb to the peak of life!"

Fang Yu cheered himself up silently, then unlocked his phone to check Sister Jin's message...

"Fang Yu, are you free tomorrow morning? Accompany me to the hospital; I want to visit my elder sister."

To the hospital?

Fang Yu replied to the message.

"I'm free! Sister Jin, what time shall we meet?"

Beep beep beep.

The phone vibrated.

"Still not asleep?"

"Just finished gaming..."

Through the phone screen, Fang Yu grinned awkwardly.

If it weren't for the "Seeking Demon" game being popular now, late-night gaming like this would have been purely a symbol of a hermit.

Strangely, after he sent the message, there was no more response from Sister Jin.

Confused, Fang Yu continued to take a shower, and soon after.

Ding-dong!

At the door, the bell rang.

Who??

Ringing the doorbell in the middle of the night??

Buzz buzz buzz!

The phone vibrated.

It was a message from Sister Jin, just two words.

"Open the door."

Fang Yu:...

He quickly dried off, dressed, and without even time to dry his hair, Fang Yu went to open the door.

"Sister Jin!"

Compared to usual, Qi Xiaojin's face was more haggard and weary, with noticeable dark circles, seemingly not having slept well recently.

However, upon seeing Fang Yu, a smile involuntarilly bloomed on Qi Xiaojin's face.

"Fang Yu, were you taking a shower? Your hair isn't dry."

"Yeah..."

"Come in."

Qi Xiaojin entered the house, even more familiar with the place than Fang Yu was, quickly grabbing a hairdryer.

Looking at this cheap-looking plastic hairdryer, Qi Xiaojin's thoughts seemed to drift back to the days of the post-apocalyptic world.

She turned to look at Fang Yu, her eyes soft.

Back then, hairdryers were simply scraps of metal, and even electricity was a luxury. Her long hair was always taken care of by Fang Yu.

Later, when they left the community and wandered around, they found a shelter with electricity, powered by capturing demons, using the Qi of demons to generate electricity for consumption at the shelter.

Unfortunately, beneath the warm hospitality lay concealed malicious traps.

However, the shelter's leader failed to realize the power gap between them.

At the moment they struck, it was also the moment of their shelter's destruction.

Those days were both nostalgic and memorable for Qi Xiaojin.

Her gaze turned cold; she knew she could not hesitate any longer.

She plugged in the dryer and had Fang Yu sit down as she began drying his hair.

"Fang Yu, I plan to have my sister wear the 'Seeking Demon' game helmet."

Fang Yu:???!

"Isn't your sister... in a vegetative state?"

"Yes, and that's exactly why we need to use the game to stimulate her nerves, giving her a chance to wake up."

That sounded like nonsense.

Qi Xiaojin knew what this game was all about.

With the apocalypse looming, if her sister could achieve something in the game, with her powers returning, she could rescue herself.

Originally, Qi Xiaojin had hesitations about letting her family into the game.

Now, such worries were no longer a concern.

Unfortunately, how exactly to get her sister into the game held many uncertainties.

Thankfully, she already had made initial progress in the game, and once her sister made a name for herself, there would be a chance to find someone.

"Stimulate a vegetative person through a game..."

Fang Yu scratched his head, not understanding.

But since it was Sister Jin's decision, he would just support it.

He looked up some related reports on his phone, and it seemed there were indeed similar cases.

But just as much, there were also cases of failure getting worse, which were somewhat disconcerting.

By then, Fang Yu's hair had been dried.

Looking out the window, dawn was breaking; it was already early morning.

"Let's go. I've arranged for a driver to wait downstairs."

"Okay."

Qi Xiaojin walked ahead, with Fang Yu following.

Suddenly, Fang Yu thought of something and asked.

"Sister Jin, was the driver of the accident caught?"

Qi Xiaojin's body trembled, but she quickly returned to normal.

"He was caught, but the mastermind behind it is in hiding."

The mastermind behind it??

Fang Yu was shocked, instantly thinking of conflicts of interest between major corporate conglomerates.

Corporate warfare dramas.

Are high-end business wars often modest and unadorned?

Fang Yu clenched his teeth and said, "Breaking the law is breaking the law, they will pay the price!"
