Chapter 224 The Road to the End (The End)
“We are still young, and we don’t have any debts. We both have a small house, and it won’t be difficult to sell it and buy a bigger house later. There’s no need to sacrifice our health for our careers.”
Song Hui spoke tirelessly, saying that since her brother started working after graduating from university, he had always been a workaholic, and she had long wanted to persuade him to stop.
"Is there a scheming colleague in the company, or is your boss giving you a hard time? Tell us and we'll give you some advice."
The Song family has always had a harmonious atmosphere. Usually, the brother and sister would talk to their family about anything that was bothering them.
Song Hang thought about it carefully and realized that he was indeed unhappy with his work. "It's nothing. I plan to resign after I've rested."
In his current state, he simply cannot continue working. It wasn't a good job to begin with, so he should just quit.
“While we should value our work, we also need to consider our mental state,” Mr. Song said calmly. “After you resign, rest at home more, or your mother and I can pay for you to go out for a walk. You’ve been holed up in your room these past few days, and you don’t seem to have any energy. If you stay like this for another two months, you won’t be able to adjust properly.”
Song's mother nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Xiaohui is the same. Don't let work make you sick. It's not worth it. Your mother and father are so healthy. We don't want to see you two fall ill before us."
Mr. Song nudged Mrs. Song with his elbow, and Mrs. Song stopped talking, "Anyway, go out for a walk. Mom will pack your luggage later."
Song Hang wanted to cry at this moment. He had risked his life to complete the mission for so long, just hoping to see his family again one day, even if this wish was very unrealistic.
Therefore, when he saw his parents and sister, he couldn't be sure if it was a hallucination before his death or the real world.
After dinner, Song's father and Song Hui went to the kitchen to clean up, while Song's mother cleaned up for Song Hang.
Song Hang stood on the balcony, staring at his phone, wondering whether he should go out, but he was also afraid that if he went out, he would find that everything was fake.
"What should we choose?"
An unfamiliar voice suddenly appeared, and Song Hang quickly looked up, his eyes cold, which was then replaced by astonishment.
"It's you...
The two people in front of him were Rong Yi and Wei Yanqing, who had previously been the most talked-about among the players. After the "guests" from the outer realm dungeon, he had not seen them in Obsidian City, and Sister Wu had not been able to contact them either. Rong Yi's name had disappeared directly from the list.
Rong Yi: "Long time no see. I see you're on the plane ticket buying page. Are you planning to travel around your hometown?"
Song Hang looked around and found that the surroundings were extremely quiet, or rather, time had stood still.
Wei Yanqing noticed his confusion and said directly, "The pirated programs on your bodies have all been destroyed, but you've also noticed something different, haven't you?"
Song Hang nodded slowly, "Yes, my talent is still there."
This is why he has never been able to determine whether his environment is real or illusory. If it is real, how can he still have a talent to use? If it is illusory, then the existence of the talent seems reasonable.
"We can't change the established facts. All we can do is send you back first and then slowly resolve the issue of your talents."
Rong Yi landed on his balcony from the air. "We'll deal with the memory issues after we've settled the follow-up events. For those with strength-type talents, we'll choose to completely eliminate their abilities. For the rest, we'll see what their potential is. Those with poor potential will have their abilities cleared as well."
From the moment Song Hang heard her words, his heart began to calm down. As long as it was all real, he didn't care about talent.
Am I one of the targets to be eliminated?
Otherwise, he couldn't figure out why these two had come.
Rong Yi shook his head. "On the contrary, you are one of the people we are reserving. Are you interested in joining the new system department? This time it's through the proper channels."
Song Hang: "..."

Yin Qiaolan remembers that she died. After the newbie dungeon ended, she died in the second dungeon.
I can still remember the pain before I died.
But something happened, and she came back to life. When she was conscious, she was in a daze for a long time before she came to her senses. She had no idea what it felt like after she died.
After staying in her rented room for two days, a phone call from her superior completely jolted her awake.
It's true!
She is really back!
Is the so-called painful place of dungeon failure penalty simply returning to the original world?
Although she was fired, she was very happy.
Yin Qiaolan quickly took a shower, tidied herself up, and went outside.
As evening falls, the streets are bustling with traffic. Some pedestrians hurry home, while others stroll leisurely, and the aroma of food wafts from the street stalls.
Everything is so lovely.
She was completely unaware that two invisible people were following behind her.
"She was quite unlucky because she lost her job without realizing it." Rong Yi remembered this person; she was her teammate in the newbie dungeon.
I only found out after checking the information that the second instance didn't survive and died.
Wei Yanqing operated the system screen for a while, then picked out a tiny speck of light and sent it into Yin Qiaolan's body. "The compensation has been delivered and is currently erasing and replacing her memories."
The players have returned to their original world. They remember what happened in the instance, but they cannot recount it.
The light spot that was just sent into Yin Qiaolan's body is luck. As compensation, Yin Qiaolan will live a peaceful and smooth life for the rest of her life. Of course, this luck was scraped out of the violator. After this operation, the violator will be an extremely unlucky species for at least several hundred lifetimes.
Two seconds after her initial excitement, Yin Qiaolan looked bewildered. Then, new memories told her that her sick leave request had not been approved and she had been dismissed for absenteeism.
His blank expression was quickly replaced by anger. He soon rallied and prepared to have a big meal first, and then argue with the company about being fired.

Standing before the two tombstones, Rong Yi gazed at the photos of his mother and grandmother, lost in thought.
Wei Yanqing put his hand on her shoulder, "Fortunately, time doesn't flow too fast, so you can still go home to see them often."
After resolving the problems of some people, he followed them to Rong Yi's home planet, which was an ordinary world without energy. It was hard to imagine that someone with such an outstanding bloodline could exist there.
"Thank you for coming with me. We'll leave after we've donated all our assets."
Rong Yi's mother and maternal grandmother were quite wealthy, and she had never met any relatives since childhood, so she was the only heir.
Having seen a wider world, there's no point in keeping those possessions; it's better to donate them to those in need.
It started raining again, but unlike last time when she was heartbroken, this time someone was by her side.
Wei Yanqing opened the umbrella, "There's also reincarnation. They did many good deeds in their lives, so they'll be reborn into a better family in their next life."
Rong Yi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Thank you again. Without your life-risking help, I wouldn't have been able to see this."
However, when she recalled what she had done in her daze, wanting to get closer to the coolness, the usually fearless girl blushed slightly.
Wei Yanqing tilted the umbrella over her head. "I'll thank you later. There will be plenty of opportunities. What would you like to eat today?"
"I want to eat ribs, but I still have to fool the Flying Cloud Mouse."
"Should we send that mouse back? It's such a hassle to make its share every time."
"No, please stay with us a little longer."
"Once things are resolved, we can go to all sorts of interesting worlds."
"Then I can eat all kinds of delicious food."
The two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, and more exciting experiences awaited them.
I have serious doubts about how badly I wrote it. My mindset has been affected, so I have to stop writing this book for now. I'm thinking of publishing everything after I finish it, and then starting another book to try and improve. If it really doesn't work, I'll try a different one!
I haven't shown the new book to the editor yet. I'm thinking of writing a super-rich spending spree novel for fun. If it gets approved, I'll probably release it in mid-May without pre-orders, on my birthday. I hope it'll be a good start!
