The faint voice entered Yu Zhen's ears the moment it came out. He closed and opened his hands, and finally stood up.
Su Mo did not look up. Even though he did not understand any of this before, after understanding his own feelings, he wanted to get everything clear. Rather than continuing to live with the other person in torture, he was more afraid that the other person would always treat him as a friend.
…Didn’t you hear me? Do you need me to repeat it again
He held the candy in his hand and was about to ask for details, when suddenly he felt a gentle touch on his head and a man's very clear voice rang out -
"yes."
After a brief answer, Su Mo suddenly raised his head, and the other party had already walked behind his wheelchair and gently pushed it up.
"What is the remaining process?" Yu Zhen asked the medical assistant.
The medical assistant quickly answered according to the flow chart: "After Su Mo rests, 4-7 procedures can be completed in the afternoon."
Yu Zhen remembered the number of items on the process chart, which meant that if everything went well, they would be able to finish all the physical examination items today. If not, they might have to come back tomorrow morning.
The resting place was in the ward of the Special Diseases Department. Yu Zhen poured water for Su Mo and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Su Mo shook his head. After finishing the morning project, he had no appetite at all and even felt a little nauseous. Just as he was about to sit up in the wheelchair, a pair of hands came in front of him.
"elder brother."
Yu Zhen gently lifted him from the wheelchair and placed him on the bed, and said, "Drink some water and take a nap. I'll call you when it's time for the physical examination."
Su Mo was so exhausted that he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. Yu Zhen stayed by the bed, gently pulled away the half of his arm that was pressing on him, and then covered him with a blanket.
The sleeping boy had a well-behaved face, just like when Yu Zhen first saw him, except that he was less alert and distant in sleep, and seemed to have become much softer. But Yu Zhen liked the willful and unrestrained young summoner more, unrestrained, and free, just like Su Mo's decisive and sharp question at the door of the examination room just now.
"Sumo, you'll be fine."
Yu Zhen said softly: "It's not just games, your world is vast and boundless."
Su Mo slept deeply for more than two hours, and after getting up, he continued to work on the afternoon inspection projects. It was not known whether it was because his physical condition had improved or for other reasons, but he was very efficient in working on the projects today. He did not have any stress response, and all the projects were completed smoothly in the afternoon.
After completing the project, he went to Dr. Wu's office to listen to the doctor's advice, while Yu Zhen went to the pharmacy to get his medicine.
It would take at least a week for the medical examination report to come out, so the two did not stay in the hospital. The scheduled hovercraft arrived soon. Su Mo had recovered some strength and could walk, but he walked a little slowly. Yu Zhen did not support him, but accompanied him and walked slowly with him.
For the entire afternoon, the two of them tacitly did not bring up the topic that they had discussed at the door of the examination room in the morning.
When he got home, dinner was already prepared. Lele came out to help get the medicine and sorted the large and small bags of medicine bottles and pills into the medical cabinet at home. Yu Zhen also helped a little, until Su Mo asked him to stay for dinner, he politely declined.
"You're tired after the whole day. Go to bed early after dinner." Yu Zhen pulled the blanket from the sofa over Su Mo's legs and added, "I'll come over tomorrow."
Su Mo sat on the sofa and looked up at him, "Brother?"
"Sumo, my answer to the question this morning may have been too simple."
Yu Zhen squatted in front of him, his eyes full of seriousness, "Can I ask you a question?"
"Since you know I like you, can I pursue you?"
Su Mo opened his mouth slightly when he heard this, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he asked again: "By saying yes, do you mean you agree to pursue me?"
Yu Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise, and he laughed and said, "Su Mo, if someone pursues you, you can think about it for a while."
"Oh." Su Mo responded, and asked in confusion: "But I have already thought about it, why do I need to think about it again?"
-*
The fatigue caused by a day of physical examination usually takes two or three days to recover completely. The next day, Su Mo woke up feeling uncomfortable all over, and he couldn't muster up energy or think. He lay in bed in a daze. Yu Zhen came early in the morning and brought Su Mo a relatively light tonic soup, but Su Mo fell asleep after drinking it. He had expected it, but he didn't expect the follow-up reaction of the physical examination to be so great.
Su Mo went to sleep at 8 o'clock last night, and was still not awake at noon. He gradually developed a low-grade fever in the afternoon. When he woke up completely at night, he saw that the door of the room was left a crack, and on the bedside table was a bowl of medicinal water that was constantly warmed by an instrument.
After waking up from this sleep, he seemed to have removed all his fatigue. Except for a little soreness in his muscles, he felt completely well. He had been controlling his diet since the day before the physical examination. He was tired all day yesterday, and lay down all day today. He didn't eat much, and now his stomach is empty.
"Awake?" Yu Zhen came in from outside. "I heard some noise. Are you feeling better now?"
Su Mo climbed up from the bed. The sudden height difference caused a sharp pain in his feverish head. He frowned slightly, waiting for the pain to subside. By the time he recovered, Yu Zhen had already come to his bedside.
He reached out to support the back of Su Mo's head, tore off the fever-reducing patch on his head, lowered his head slightly and used his forehead to check his temperature.
Suddenly getting closer, Su Mo felt his hot and dry breath all over the narrow distance. He blinked. They were so close that he could see tiny marks on the other person's face.
"The fever has subsided." Yu Zhen stepped back and used the back of his hand to test the temperature again. After confirming that there was no problem, he asked, "Are you hungry?"
Su Mo: "I'm hungry."
"Drink this bowl of tonic soup first. I'll make you a midnight snack. It'll take a while." Yu Zhen picked up the warm medicine soup from the counter and tested the temperature. "It's a little hot. Drink it slowly."
"Oh." Su Mo leaned over the edge of the bowl and took a sip. After two sips, he paused and whispered, "It tastes like chicken. Delicious."
He applied for a week's leave, but his instructor didn't write down the second half of the leave, asking him to rest before going to school. By Friday, Su Mo's body had almost recovered, and he was no different from before. But he couldn't play games yet, and he was so bored that he could only sit in the living room and write formulas and calculate data.
Yu Zhen would visit every day and make nourishing soup for Su Mo in various ways.
These actions seemed to be no different from before, but Su Mo keenly noticed the subtle changes. Before, Yu Zhen would keep a suitable distance, but now, Yu Zhen would occasionally make some intimate movements.
For example, I would test his temperature or personally hand him medicine or a cup of water.
Yu Zhen seemed to have become busy recently. Su Mo looked over after calculating the data several times and found that he seemed to be using a light computer to read documents.
Su Mo had never been in a relationship before, so after Yu Zhen said she wanted to pursue him, he secretly searched the Internet for what to do in a relationship. However, the people on the Internet wrote so much fanciful stuff that he just felt it was a waste of time after reading it all.
But when he was with Yu Zhen, it seemed that he didn't have to worry about these problems. Yu Zhen never disturbed him when he was deriving formulas and calculating data. Instead, the two of them each maintained their own space. When he was busy, Yu Zhen was reading documents, and they didn't disturb each other.
"There's a new type of oddity contest in the game." Yu Zhen closed the file and saw that the person next to him was bored and playing a light computer game, so he said, "Want to listen?"
Su Mo heard Tian Huan's slight sidelong glance and asked, "What competition?"
Yu Zhen opened the game's official website and showed Su Mo the newly released game announcement, "A competition with cooperation from multiple companies."
Su Mo took Yu Zhen's computer and scanned the details of the announcement.
Tianhuan is a research project in cooperation with a research institute. Since many of the dungeon challenges in the game are professional and combined with multiple sets of testing solutions in reality to deeply explore the various talents of players, many large companies in the industry continue to pay attention to the development of this game.
Fighting against intelligence is indeed a major feature of Tianhuan, and therefore many companies will try to observe the performance of players and send cooperation or employment invitations to players with outstanding performance. Su Mo didn't know about this before, but later he opened the friend request list that had been silent for a long time and found that many people claiming to be from a certain company added him.
Of course, he didn't pass.
It is not uncommon for games to cooperate with real companies in advertising or cultural enterprises in the gaming industry, but what Yu Zhen is talking about is not a simple cooperation, but a large-scale comprehensive competition cooperation.
"I was busy with this matter some time ago. The Tianhuan official team and the main brain sent an invitation to cooperate with many companies to establish it, including the Cangqiong Group. But the format of the competition was customized by the main brain. In order to keep it confidential, our partners are not aware of it."
Yu Zhen explained: "I went out that night and didn't come back because I was going to finalize the contract. The game has just released an announcement. The registration period will last for a week, and the official preliminary round will begin next Saturday."
Su Mo's eyes were already fixed on the details of the announcement. This competition was also incorporated into Tianhuan's strange news system. The event was called "The World Forum". The challenge was unprecedentedly difficult at eight stars. It was a comprehensive challenge format that lasted for 60 days. It was Tianhuan's major event at the end of the year.
This activity is divided into camp team registration forms, with 10-person groups as the basic unit and no less than 6 types of team member occupations. After the team is successfully formed, it will enter the competition process and will participate in various forms of oddities challenges.
The mastermind will release several types of challenges in each stage. Teams that successfully complete the challenges will accumulate victories and receive challenge rewards.
Player teams that do not accumulate enough successful challenges will be eliminated until the final winner is decided.
To put it simply, you form a team to play the strange news challenge. The more you clear, the higher the level. The one who wins in the end will be the champion of the "World Forum".
After reading the rules, the fact that there were multiple challenges was enough to attract Su Mo's attention. "We need to form a team of 10? Can you join?"
"We are just cooperating. Only the mastermind knows about the challenge mode. It is not my job to observe the players and select the best candidates for recruitment." Yu Zhen smiled and said, "I am just here to play games. Why can't I participate?"
Su Mo scanned the game rewards. The final champion would receive generous game rewards, as well as other rewards such as star coins. It didn't mention a certain ranking that would guarantee an invitation from a company, but it said in the cooperation details that those with outstanding performance would have a chance to get an invitation from the cooperating company.
Companies have official channels to observe players’ overall performance, and the top 1,000 teams will have the opportunity to receive a job offer from the company.
"Do you want to participate?" Yu Zhen asked.
Su Mo swiped the screen and said, "I want to, but I don't know if I have enough time."
He smiled and said, "I'm curious about the challenge it will take."
"It will last for 60 days, and the competition time will be announced in advance." Yu Zhen said: "Knowing the time, maybe we can make adjustments in advance."
Su Mo thought about his other arrangements. The only thing left for the experiment was to run the data. He could go back next week to speed up the work. By then, he should be able to spare time to play games every day. "Then we need to recruit people... There are only five of us here, and we need to find five more teammates."
He recited quietly, and suddenly a hand stopped on his forehead.
Su Mo paused slightly and heard Yu Zhen's voice.
"I feel much better today, and I don't have a low-grade fever." Yu Zhen took his hand back and stood up. "What do you want to eat tonight?"
Su Mo was slightly startled, "Can I order now?"
"Okay." Yu Zhen rolled up his sleeves. "The nutritional standards are my concern. You just need to tell me what you want to eat."
Su Mo smiled and said, "I want to eat meat."
On Saturday, Su Mo's physical data was stable and he was ready to play in the game.
Last night, he watched Hong Guoguo and others in the group discussing the new news contest. When he entered the game, he found that there were more people discussing it. The world channel in the game was full of recruitment for the new news event, and the loudspeakers were blasting one after another, which was very lively.
After forming a team with his teammates, Su Mo asked, "Do you have time in the next two months? Do you want to go to the Dao Discussion Meeting?"
As soon as he said this, he noticed that the people around him looked at him in a strange way, "What's wrong?"
Hong Guoguo asked: "My eldest brother or my brother Xing?"
Yu Zhen mentioned: "He is."
Hong Guoguo said, "Brother, I was wondering why your tone of voice had changed. It's fine if you're not online, but why don't you reply to my messages?"
“… I’m not interested in developing a wholesale market for small fish.” Su Mo asked again, “What do you think? Is the timing right?”
Qingfeng: "Of course that's right, I'm online every day."
Zhi Ge: "It should be no problem. I heard that the game time will be fixed."
"Of course I will." Hong Guoguo said enthusiastically, "Have you seen the rewards at the end? In addition to props, there are also money. The first place winner will get 1 million star coins!!! Who wouldn't be tempted? I was tempted as soon as I saw the announcement."
Su Mo looked at the registration channel for the 'World Forum', where the rules of the game were written. The registration deadline is 23:00 next Friday night, and the preliminary round will be on Saturday and Sunday. The specific schedule will be available later. He said, "We will form a team of five, and we need to find another small team."
"Should we also post a recruitment notice?" Hong Guoguo asked, "Or should we continue to sell tickets? The ticket price will definitely increase now. Many people have asked me about this in the past few days."
"No tickets for sale." Su Mo flipped through the various recruitment information on the recruitment board, "We will fight on our own this time, and then form a team with other professions. The operational awareness cannot lag behind, and the equipment cannot be bad either."
The Discussion of Dao is no different from other strange stories. If it is an ordinary strange story, they can still grind slowly, and if they can't beat it, they can take the time to pass it. But if you are eliminated in the Discussion of Dao, you will have no chance to participate. If he wants to experience more strange story challenges, he has to keep advancing.
If this is the case, finding the right teammates is more important.
"Is that so... Then post a recruitment post or look for it in the friend circle, or ask acquaintances or something like that." Hong Guoguo asked: "What profession should we call? Should we call a warrior or a doctor? Otherwise, we don't have enough healers and no main tank... Healers are a must, so find someone with a big tank."
His memory of the last time he breastfed alone was so vivid that his hands started to ache whenever he thought about it.
Qingfeng said: "The warriors must also be able to pull steadily. There are many bad warriors in wild groups. We need to find someone like Little Bear or Bitter Melon Boss."
Zhi Ge also suggested: "You can bring an extra assassin."
Su Mo took a look at most of the recruitment requirements, two warriors and two doctors, the configuration is the common configuration in the dungeon. As long as there are 6 professions, the registration requirements are met, and the DPS must also be a profession with high output.
He looked at Yu Zhen, "Brother, did the official say that this is a strange story copy?"
Yu Zhen highlighted the main points of the announcement, "No, the format is a strange news challenge."
"Then we can't recruit according to the lineup of the dungeon, a comprehensive anecdote challenge, what if we play team pvp?" Su Mo frowned: "Team is not just a dungeon, it can be a battlefield, an arena, a dungeon, a mission... Any form that has appeared in the game may appear again."
Qingfeng paused after hearing this, "Indeed, when it comes to teams, everyone first thinks of dungeons."
"Our current lineup is one healer, two melee fighters, and two ranged fighters. I suggest you only bring one warrior and one medic. For the other three, choose flexible fighters." Su Mo opened his friend list. "We need an ultra-long-range turret, a shooter or a magic sword with the longest range, a flexible auxiliary control Taoist priest or summoner, and finally a burst-type melee physical attack, a pvp assassin, and a pve physical sword."
After listening to this, Hong Guoguo said, "Brother, this lineup sounds a little familiar."
"Didn't we have this lineup when we fought in the Soul-Separating Secret Realm? Then let's just look for the Fruit Gang. Boss Bitter Melon, Apple, Fire Tree and Silver Flower, Yellow Peach Jam and Watermelon. We are familiar with this lineup."
"It's hard to say if they have already formed a team. It's too late for us to form a team. But we can ask first." Su Mo scanned the online players and saw that the names of Apple and Watermelon were lit. He was about to send a message to Watermelon, and he had just typed half of the words -
[Your friend [What a big watermelon] has gone offline]
Su Mo: “… ?”
The author has something to say: Watermelon: Technically disconnected.
