Chapter 581 The Master is Leaving
The base was initially quite happy.
Everyone's busy playing games and watching live streams, so the crime rate has decreased significantly, and people aren't thinking about that kind of thing all the time.
However, this resulted in fewer people doing the tasks.
It's not that there are fewer people, it's just that these people are no longer as focused on doing more tasks and accumulating more points and resources as they used to be.
My current attitude towards points and resources is: just stay alive.
That won't do.
The base still needs development.
Wei Songbai held a special meeting to address this issue and finally formulated anti-addiction measures: players can only play for four hours a day, those with more than 1,000 points in savings can play for five hours, and those with more than 10,000 points in savings can play for six hours.
For those with over 100,000 points, there is no time limit.
Everyone was very dissatisfied with this rule.
However, they had no choice, since the base needed to survive and develop, and if they gave up, they would ultimately harm themselves.
So everyone had to work hard, and the base was able to return to a healthy cycle.
As for Ling Ran, she seemed to be living a life of retirement at the Beijing base. After spending the New Year at the Beijing base, before the snow had melted, one day, Ling Ran suddenly said that she wanted to leave.
I spent seven or eight months at the base in Beijing, where two large-scale mobile games were developed.
They thought Ling Ran would stay here longer, after all, the second mobile game had only been online for a little over a month.
"leave?"
Everyone was a little surprised, but it was actually quite reasonable.
After all, the adults said from the beginning that the world is so big and she wanted to see it. Now she has only traveled halfway through most of the country, and there are still many maps she hasn't explored. Even if she goes further north, it is still a very large area.
Gu Zijing closed the book in her hand and said, "It's indeed time. We've been at the Beijing base for quite a while now."
"Sister," Pei Xiu leaned closer to Ling Ran, "Where do you want to go next?"
"If we keep going north, we'll reach the three northern provinces. If we keep going, will we end up abroad? I want to see zombies abroad."
"Zombies from abroad?"
Pei Xiu thought of a game he used to play called Resident Evil, which had terrified him back then: "It should be similar, since they all look ugly."
Pei Yi sat down next to him and asked, "When are we leaving?"
"tomorrow."
No one was surprised to hear about this decision.
After all, whenever adults say they're leaving, it's either today or tomorrow.
"Okay, I'll talk to Captain Luo."
"Um."
Ling Ran took out her phone and immediately opened the game.
It'll be too late to play it soon, so let's play as much as we can while we still have time.
That morning, when Luo Han came over to offer his greetings as usual, he learned of the devastating news from Pei Yi.
"Can't she stay? This is our base in the capital. Is there anything wrong with it?"
During her time at the Beijing base, Ling Ran also helped the Beijing base complete two SS-level missions, two SSS-level missions, and even brought the provincial capital base along for one SSS-level mission.
These missions provided both bases with a significant amount of supplies.
As for the Beijing base, their current supplies are enough for them to live on for three years without working. It is conceivable how much help Ling Ran has given to the Beijing base.
Moreover, Ling Ran brought far more to the Beijing base than just this.
And now, Ling Ran is leaving.
Pei Yi explained, "It has nothing to do with the Beijing base. Captain Luo, as you know, my sister just wants to travel around the world. Actually, she has been staying at your Beijing base for a long time."
The implication was that Luo Han should know when to stop.
"All right."
Luo Han nodded.
He knew that even if he begged the master, the master would not change his mind, but he was truly reluctant to let go.
Aside from the benefits that the master brought to the capital, Luo Han also deeply admired and respected the master emotionally.
"I'll report to management and leave first."
"Um."
Luo Han immediately left the Prince's residence.
But less than half an hour later, he returned, bringing with him Wei Songbai, Luo Zhenguo, and other management personnel.
Wei Songbai looked at Ling Ran with deep affection, his voice slightly choked: "My lord, do you really have to leave?"
His eyes held a resentful look, as if a man were accusing an irresponsible, scumbag woman.
Ling Ran got goosebumps from his gaze: "If you ask again, I'm leaving today."
"No, how about we have lunch and dinner together then?"
"Whatever you say."
"I'll arrange it."
Looking at Ling Ran's "carefree" and seemingly unreluctant expression, Wei Songbai's eyes grew even more resentful.
Ah, just as I expected! The one who falls in love first is the loser.
He thought the adults would be able to stay at the base for a year, but now, calculating the time, they've only been there for seven or eight months.
On the other side.
Su Yimo was just as heartbroken as Wei Songbai.
At this time, she met with Bian Chen. The two sat on a bench by a lake in a park, where Bian Chen gave Su Yimo a bouquet of flowers that he had wrapped himself.
"Baby, what brings us together today?"
This is where they officially became a couple.
Su Yimo placed the flowers aside and then said calmly, "Bian Chen, the master will be leaving the capital base tomorrow."
Bian Chen's smile vanished instantly.
He looked at Su Yimo, his voice low and somber: "So? You're leaving, is that it?"
Su Yimo didn't speak, but her expression already indicated her agreement.
"My birthday is in a month. Didn't you say you'd celebrate it with me?"
"I'm sorry, I have to break my promise."
"Can't I stay? I thought you treated me differently."
From the moment Bian Chen started dating Su Yimo, he knew that Su Yimo was not a good woman; she loved to play around. But he felt that he was the one who could make Su Yimo turn over a new leaf and settle down.
In fact, Bian Chen did it.
If the adults stay at the capital base, then Su Yimo will stay with Bian Chen forever.
Su Yimo looked up at him: "Bian Chen, you know I can't give up following the Lord. If you were me, I think you would make the same choice as me."
Bian Chen wanted to firmly refute her, but in the moment of hesitation, he lost his confidence.
A person like him is indeed someone worth following.
"Bian Chen, if you're willing, I'll ask the adults if we can take you with us, okay?"
Bian Chen was silent for a moment before refusing, "I'm sorry, I can't leave."
His grandfather, father, mother, friends, and teammates are here. He can't abandon everything he has to take responsibility for for the sake of love.
Su Yimo also knew that Bian Chen couldn't leave.
“Actually, in the apocalypse, being able to truly love each other is already a blessing from heaven.” Su Yimo smiled and comforted him, “Isn’t there a saying, ‘If love between two people lasts forever, why should they be together day and night?’”
Both of them are mature adults; they have passed the age of being willful and each has their own burdens, things to protect, and things to pursue.
Sometimes, some things don't need to be said very clearly.
