"This... is it because Jiang Qiao told me first?"

Hailan's answer was so straightforward that it seemed like a provocation, but Hailan didn't mean to provoke her. The reason why Jiangqiao didn't like Hailan to contact outsiders was...

After she lost her memory, Hai Lan's IQ was normal, but her EQ dropped alarmingly. The strange things she did occasionally were not because she was evil, but simply because she was stupid.

Perhaps only when Jiang Qiao is too excited will he allow Hai Lan to be alone with outsiders.

This is probably the situation now.

"Brother Hailan, President Jiang Qiao told you right away when he was sick. This doesn't seem like a working partnership."

Hei Guo Zhu Rou, who loves to listen to gossip the most, pointed out the problem with Hai Lan's words at this time.

Jiang Qiao claimed that Hai Lan and he were just work partners, but would work partners tell each other that they are sick the first time they fall ill

It's not like I'm asking my boss for sick leave.

"Come to think of it, I live next door to the president. If he's sick at home alone, he'll probably need someone to take care of him. I'll go offline first to see if he's alive."

I don’t have to worry so much about adding milk without charging extra, since the last time Jiangqiao came to my door and added milk without charging extra when I went out for a dinner party.

She already knew that her neighbor was Jiang Qiao. As a neighbor and guild member, it was normal for her to go offline to care about her president's condition!

"I happen to have a day off today, so I can go... and take a look." Wanxiang also knew where Jiang Qiao lived, so she subconsciously made this request.

"Wait...wait!" Hai Lan finally realized her problem.

But once such a big mistake is made, it is impossible to make up for it.

While Leaping Nucleus and other guild members were still focusing on Roche, the members of the Nameless Guild had already started discussing whether or not to form a group to visit the president's home.

"wait…"

Before Hai Lan could say anything to stop it, the offer of adding milk without increasing the price was taken offline, and then it was Wan Xiang's turn.

At this moment, Hai Lan had no way to stay in the Lionheart Yoga Club any longer. She made a direct voice call to Jiang Qiao who was lying on the hospital bed.

"Jiang Qiao! Help me! Something big has happened!" Hai Lan lowered her voice and said to Jiang Qiao.

"You just show up and say hello, what could go wrong? Are there any groups of people coming to my house to swat me?"

When facing what Hai Lan did, Jiang Qiao always transformed himself into Zhuge Jiang Qiao... He could immediately figure out why Hai Lan came to him in such a panic.

"What should we do?" Hai Lan asked in panic.

"Don't you have a ghost state?"

If Jiang Qiao remembered correctly, when he first met Hai Lan, he thought she was a ghost. She was floating in the air in a translucent state and it was scary no matter how you looked at her.

"But...but I can't be completely invisible, and now the perception of the Holy Spirit players is not like before. If I use my magic in reality, they will notice it!" Hai Lan is very mechanical in this regard.

"I hear someone knocking on the door. There's nothing I can do. You should just hide in the closet."

Jiang Qiao could only use his final trick, which made him begin to be thankful that his home had two bedrooms and a living room, a bedroom, and a study. There was a large wooden cabinet in the study that was big enough for Hai Lan to hide in.

After communicating with Hai Lan, Jiang Qiao logged out of the game and woke up from the game cabin in the study.

Hai Lan walked into the study room somewhat shyly and glanced at Jiang Qiao.

"Go in!" Jiang Qiao said, pointing to the wooden cabinet used for storing books next to the game cabin.

"How long are you going to hide? Jiang Qiao, are you really okay?"

"Just let me in!"

Jiang Qiao didn't know where he got the strength from, but he pushed Hai Lan, who felt a little fleshy, into the bookcase. He threw a pillow in to make Hai Lan feel more comfortable, and then closed the cabinet door.

After doing all this, Jiang Qiao almost fell to the ground. The physical weakening effect brought by the void corrosion was far beyond Jiang Qiao's imagination.

But when there was a knock on the door, Jiang Qiao had to drag his weak body to open the door of his house.

"Who... are you?" When Jiang Qiao opened the door of his house, he was ready to be GANKed without paying any more money.

As a result, the girl standing in front of Jiang Qiao looked very unfamiliar.

"Hello, I am the president of the Junlin Tianxia Guild, Junzi Chang. My real name is Li Junru. Excuse me, you are the president of the Wumingzhe Guild. Aren't you going to update today?"

The gentleman looked up and down at Jiang Qiao, who was wearing cat pajamas, and asked.

"Uh... yes?" Jiang Qiao didn't understand why the gentleman from the neighboring guild would come to his door at this time.

"Happy Game of your guild... My real name is Zhao Mingwei. He asked me to come over first. I happened to be buying groceries near your community. The captain of our team will be here soon. Is it convenient for you to come over if I don't update the guild leader?"

As he spoke, Mr. Qi showed off the two large bags of daily necessities in his hands.

"I don't have anything to do, there's no need to be so formal." Jiang Qiao waved his hand and looked at Qi Junzi's attitude. It was obvious that Zhao Mingwei was planning to let Qi Junzi cook dinner here.

No matter what, Jiang Qiao is still Zhao Mingwei's chairman. He learned from the free-price-add-milk that Jiang Qiao was seriously ill and was alone at home, so he must be worried.

But the problem is that Hai Lan is still sitting in the closet, and what Jiang Qiao has to do is to get rid of these people as soon as possible.

"Is that so..." When Qi Junzi was about to tell Zhao Mingwei about this...

“President!”

The voice of adding milk without increasing the price came from behind Qi Junzi. Before Jiang Qiao could react, two hands patted his shoulders.

Jiang Qiao, who was already feeling weak, sat down on the ground.

"President?"

She added milk without paying extra and was frightened by Jiang Qiao's sudden fall to the ground. She quickly squatted down and rubbed Jiang Qiao's face with her hands.

It's a pity that in the real world, there is no way to use holy light to treat Jiang Qiao without adding milk at a higher price.

"President, what's wrong with you? Speak! President!" The somewhat cold hand was placed on Jiang Qiao's face. After feeling the temperature of Jiang Qiao's cheek, he realized something. "Is this a symptom of fever? It's too hot."

"It looks like a high fever. I won't update you, President... It's better for you to go to the hospital now."

Qi Junzi saw at a glance that Jiang Qiao's illness was not...not a problem, but was so serious that he needed an ambulance to be sent to the hospital.

"I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days." Jiang Qiao grabbed the hand that was pressed against his cheek, and at the same time looked up at Qi Junzi and said, "If Xiao Ye wants to come, let's eat here tonight."

Jiang Qiao could only choose this more compromising solution. Qi Junzi had already taken out his cell phone and was about to call 120, but Jiang Qiao's symptoms came from the corrosion of the Void Zerg.

The hospital couldn't find anything. Maybe Qi Junzi had become accustomed to this kind of... Zhao Mingwei-style insistence. After thinking about it, she put the phone back.

"Then if you don't update the president, can you lend me the kitchen?" Mr. Qi asked again.

"Please."

Jiang Qiao struggled to get up from the ground and sat on the sofa. Qi Junzi walked straight into the kitchen without any courtesy, which made Jiang Qiao feel like it was New Year's Day.

Just when Jiang Qiao sat down on the sofa, there was another figure standing at the door before he could close it.

"Xiao Wan... are you guys coming to my house to play mahjong?" Jiang Qiao looked at Wanxiang who was standing at the door. After hearing what Jiang Qiao said, she seemed a little hesitant about whether to come in, but after taking a look at Jia Milk No Charge who was also sitting on the sofa, she nodded slightly at Jiang Qiao.

"Senior Jiang Qiao, I brought some cold and fever medicine. I don't know if they will be useful." Wanxiang said.

"It's probably useless, but if you don't mind, can we have dinner together? This can barely be considered the first offline gathering of the Nameless Guild?"

Jiang Qiao didn't know how long it would take for Zhao Mingwei to come over, but there were already enough people in Jiang Qiao's living room.

Wanxiang came to Jiangqiao's living room with a bag of cold and fever-reducing medicine and sat down somewhat stiffly.

Jiang Qiao sat alone on a single sofa, while Jia Nai Wu Jia and Wan Xiang sat on the long sofa one by one.

The sound of Qi Junzi cooking could be heard in the kitchen. Although Wanxiang was very concerned about who was in the kitchen, she did not ask.

This silence lasted for about five minutes, until a strange fragrance came from the kitchen.

The fragrance caused a sound of something falling to the ground to be heard in Jiang Qiao's study.

The sound scared Wanxiang. She raised her head and looked towards the study, but unfortunately the door was closed and she couldn't hear what was inside.

"What's that sound?" Add Milk Without Paying More Curiously, he lay on the back of the sofa and looked at the study.

"Maybe something fell on the ground..."

Jiang Qiao is now really curious why Hai Lan won't turn into a cat.

"Do you want me to go and take a look?" Adding milk without paying extra seemed to have found a topic to talk about, and began to chat with Jiang Qiao in a familiar manner.

"No need... add milk. If you have nothing to do... please help me make a cup of Sanjiu Cold Remedy." Jiang Qiao knew that if he didn't add milk or give her anything to do at this time, she would definitely rush to the study.

"Make a brew? Does it need to be mixed or something?" Adding milk without adding any extra charge seems to be as if he has forgotten how to make a brew in real life.

"let me!"

Wanxiang immediately took a box of Sanjiu Cold Remedy and walked into the kitchen. When she pushed open the kitchen door and found that the person busy inside was Qi Junzi, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hello." Qi Junzi turned around and greeted Wanxiang.

"Hello… "

Wanxiang also knows Qijunzi. The two of them had a life-and-death friendship during the incident in the Sanctuary of Eternal Sustainability. Qijunzi often brings Wanxiang with him when he does missions, so their relationship is very good.

"Xiao Wan, do you like your president?" Qi Junzi was cutting vegetables when he suddenly asked Wanxiang this question, which made Wanxiang almost spill the boiling water when she picked up the kettle.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

But Wanxiang's hands were very steady. As a sniper, she might feel panicky inside, but her hands would never shake.

"I can see it in the game. I'm very curious why you like...not updating the president?" As a girl, Qi Junzi certainly likes gossip very much. Of course, she didn't ask this question for the purpose of gossiping.

"My senior year of high school... I couldn't play Holy Spirit, and my cell phone could only be used as a communication tool." Wanxiang said as she soaked the potion, "The person I talked to the most at that time was him. I could chat with Senior Jiang Qiao... or the president from school until bedtime. He would share with me a lot of new things that happened in Holy Spirit."

"Then you should act sooner rather than later."

While talking, Mr. Qi had already finished cutting a piece of carrot.

"Is it because of... the milk sister?" Wanxiang guessed the reason why Qi Junzi asked her to speed up. Now the only opponent Wanxiang could think of was the one who added milk without raising the price.

"That priest is indeed one of your strong rivals, but the truly troublesome enemy may be one you have never seen before," said Mr. Qi.

"never seen it?"

"Look over there, what do you see?" Qi Junzi pointed at the windowsill on the other side of the kitchen with a kitchen knife.

Wanxiang looked in the direction Qijunzi pointed, and through the windowsill, she could just see Jiangqiao's balcony.

There were some clothes drying on the balcony. These clothes were nothing special, but Wanxiang saw bras and skirts among them.

The light blue bra and the thin dress seemed to be mocking the fact that Wanxiang came too late!

"I don't think that President Bu Xinxin is a transvestite. Besides, I smelled a special fragrance when I came in here. Xiao Wan, there was some noise in the study just now, right?"

Qi Junzi entered a state of reasoning, and Wanxiang nodded stupidly beside him.

"I'm afraid there's already a woman living with your guild leader. I don't know if they're in a relationship. Although I'm not sure, the person they're living with should be... the player named Hai Lan from your guild."

"…Should I quit?" Wanxiang was confused at this time. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. If Jiang Qiao had really been living with that girl for so long, she would have already lost, completely, and had nothing to say.

"If your president and Hai Lan have confirmed their relationship, I suggest you withdraw. If not, it's fine if you want to continue to entangle with her."

Qi Junzi spoke very experiencedly, and used the adjective "entangled", and his tone seemed to be that he saw himself in Wanxiang.

"How should I deal with Master Junzi in that issue?" Wanxiang felt that she benefited a lot from listening to it, and even called him the master.

"I don't know either. This... depends on you."

Qi Junzi's cheeks flushed a little when she talked about this. She was not thick-skinned enough to teach such a skill.

"I myself... look at myself." Wanxiang murmured. She had just finished making the medicine in her hand when she suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the living room.

"President, what's wrong with you?"

This made Wanxiang and Qijunzi look at each other, and they both stopped what they were doing and ran out of the living room.

At this time, Jiang Qiao was lying on the sofa, breathing heavily, with a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, and his face was so pale that he looked like he was about to die on the spot.

"I'll call an ambulance!" The gentleman made a quick decision and was about to take out his phone when...

"No need for an ambulance! There are several game cabins in the study! Help me get in!" Jiang Qiao spoke up to stop Qi Junzi.

The reason why Jiang Qiao's symptoms worsened was that the corruption of the Void Zerg had undergone some changes, and what Thorne said was not entirely correct.

Now Jiang Qiao is unable to suppress this corrosion while maintaining his human body, so Jiang Qiao needs to enter the state of God Devouring God and Holy Spirit.

"How can this situation be cured by a game cabin!" Qi Junzi knew the characteristics of the game cabin. Although it could strengthen a person's spirit and body, it was difficult to cure the disease.

Lin Xi even caught a cold because of playing the game cabin.

"I believe in the president." He held Jiang Qiao's hand and said to the gentleman, "Holy Spirit, this game also cured me."

"Now is not the time to mess around, Xiaowan..." When Qi Junzi was about to ask Xiaowan to do something, Jia Nai Bu Jia Jia had already helped Jiang Qiao and Wanxiang walk towards the study.

Wanxiang hesitated for a moment before pushing open the study door, but still grasped the door handle and opened the door. As a result, there was no one in the study, only half an apple that had not been finished.

"Just use the game cabin in the middle."

There are three game cabins in Jiangqiao's study, which is a normal configuration for Holy Spirit players. Sometimes three game cabins are not enough.

Wanxiang and Jia Nai Bu Jia Qian helped Jiang Qiao together and let Jiang Qiao lie down in the middle game cabin. Jiang Qiao directly logged into the Holy Spirit.

But when Jiang Qiao opened his eyes again, he found that he was not in Freya's room, nor in any place on the Holy Spirit Map.

But...it is the Eternal Sanctuary that has been completely corroded by the Void Hive!

What’s worse is that the surrounding Void Zergs seem to have been waiting for Jiang Qiao for a long time.

Has my spiritual consciousness been hijacked

Many possibilities flashed through Jiang Qiao's mind instantly, but Jiang Qiao glanced at his data column and found that all his status as an elemental summoner was still there.

But the feeling of powerlessness and dizziness all over the body still surrounded Jiang Qiao.

But no matter what, we have to fight!
