Before Yang Jia could figure out his situation, his personal terminal started ringing desperately.
When he opened it, he was shocked to see all kinds of missed call requests.
She knew that if something happened to her, it would probably cause panic. However, it happened so suddenly that it wouldn't be discovered so quickly.
But when he casually glanced at the time, Yang Jia was startled.
In her feeling, although it seemed like she had a very long dream, dreams are like this, so Yang Jia only thought that a short time had passed. Now, when she looked back, she found that two days had passed.
If someone contacts you in the middle, you will most likely find something unusual.
But soon Yang Jia discovered that some of these call requests came from Li Bai.
So she chose to call back without hesitation, but the other party was still unable to connect. Yang Jia could only guess that Li Bai was offline again.
Missing him again, Yang Jia felt both angry and amused. Ever since Li Bai couldn't log into the game every day, meeting him seemed like an enormous problem. However, thinking about his previous state, Yang Jia couldn't help but lose himself slightly.
If her guess was correct, and she could really "go offline", that meant that she would have the chance to meet Li Bai in real life in the future.
Of course, she also quickly thought that if she was Yang Jia, then her body would probably still be suffering from the virus, so she had to fall into a deep sleep and would not be able to wake up in a short time.
I just don't know what happened to me before.
While I was stunned, new news came in.
Yang Jia opened it and read it, feeling a little embarrassed. These messages from Bai Ting, Qin Yan, and Zhang Zitao were actually just teasing her.
…
After Li Bai left, the few who remained looked at each other in bewilderment, ultimately deciding to wait. They figured no matter what the outcome, someone would always come to explain. Zhang Zitao would search again at regular intervals.
So when Yang Jia came online not long after, because it was such a coincidence, they naturally thought that Yang Jia and Li Bai had already made things clear.
Thinking about their current relationship, Bai Ting and Qin Yan's personalities naturally gave rise to a bit of resentment at being concealed. After much thought, they decided that this was not a suitable time to communicate, so they chose to send a message to tease Yang Jia.
And he made fun of it without any concealment.
Qin Yan: "I blame my blindness. I didn't see anything for such a long time."
Bai Ting: "I might be a fake person... I've been following you and Li Bai the whole time, so why didn't I notice any changes in your relationship?"
Li Bai came online, and then they all knew what had happened. Even if they hadn't seen it, they could still guess part of it. Yang Jia thought for a moment and called Zhang Zitao. Hmm, it would be better to ask someone who hadn't teased her before.
Hearing Yang Jia's question, Zhang Zitao was surprised, "Didn't Li Bai log off to look for you?"
"What?" Yang Jia was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
Zhang Zitao didn't understand why she was so shocked. "Didn't she contact you? Or did she just miss you?"
But before he could finish his words, Li Bai had already come back online, appearing beside them in a white light. Zhang Zitao quickly said, "She's online now. Contact her first." Personal terminals could share communications, but even Zhang Zitao, no matter how low his EQ, wouldn't let Li Bai and Yang Jia use his terminal to communicate. Who knew what they were saying privately that couldn't be overheard?
When Li Bai heard his words, he immediately realized, "Is it Yang Jia? Where is she?"
Zhang Zitao was stunned. "I forgot to ask."
But a little thought would reveal the answer. Yang Jia had suddenly gone offline. Something must have happened outside the city, so he should still be there. So Li Bai turned around and walked out the door, dialing Yang Jia's number at the same time.
The video message popped up on their personal devices, and they stared at each other, silent for a moment. Firstly, it had been so long since they'd seen each other that their eyes were busy tracing each other's features, naturally not paying attention. Secondly, they didn't know where to begin because of the incident that had just occurred.
After a while, Li Bai asked about Yang Jia's location, and then hurried over.
When the two finally came face to face, they couldn't help but sigh for this hard-earned moment. After looking at each other for a moment, they opened their arms at the same time, hugged each other, and then exchanged a long and lingering kiss.
They separated reluctantly until it became difficult to breathe, foreheads pressed together, feeling each other's warmth and breath, and the panic of having nowhere to go gradually subsided.
After feeling the atmosphere for a while, Yang Jia pulled Li Bai to sit down and asked her, "Why are you back?"
"This is a long story, we'll discuss it later. But as for you, what happened to you earlier?" Li Bai frowned with concern. She'd returned precisely because she'd been struggling to focus and feeling uneasy lately. Yang Jia had experienced this unexpected situation after returning, so she was naturally concerned.
Yang Jia just wanted to find someone to talk to about her current situation, and Li Bai was undoubtedly the most suitable person, so she immediately told him what had happened before.
Of course, some of the content was briefly mentioned using a Spring and Autumn style. For example, the fact that she was infected with the virus—it was at this point that Yang Jia suddenly realized that her current in-game body was also infected with the virus! So much had happened before, and with so many memories suddenly flooding into her mind, she almost forgot about it.
Almost subconsciously, Yang Jia pushed Li Bai away and stood up a little further away from her.
This virus is contagious!
Even if she was vague, Li Bai couldn't help but guess. She looked at Yang Jia with a mixture of anger and amusement. "The virus is only contagious within 24 hours of infection. Besides, it's too late for you to distance yourself now."
Yang Jia thought about it and it made sense. They had already kissed each other, so if it was going to be infected, it would have happened long ago. So he had no choice but to rub back awkwardly.
Even after Li Bai finished her joke, her worries didn't diminish in the slightest. Whether in the game or in real life, the current virus vaccine was a challenge. In reality, the situation they faced was extremely precarious. But she didn't voice her concerns, instead listening to Yang Jia continue.
The story in the dream was so long that Yang Jia hadn't organized it completely when he summarized it before, and he tried hard to simplify it now. Even so, Li Bai's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Although she suspected that this Yang Jia was most likely the same Yang Jia, it was only a guess before. With this memory, the guess became reality. Of course, more importantly, there were many things she wanted to research that she couldn't access due to lack of relevant information. But if Yang Jia had the memory, then she could simply ask her. Many questions would be answered.
But these can be put aside for now. The most important thing right now is Yang Jia's own problem. After Yang Jia finished speaking, Li Bai immediately urged, "Try now to see if you can log off."
Because the game "Real" does not have a character panel, going online and offline relies on a meditation-like method. As long as you concentrate on thinking about the idea, the system will capture the data and execute it.
But Yang Jia closed his eyes and meditated for several minutes, but nothing happened.
Although it wasn't unexpected, Li Bai was still a little disappointed. However, she didn't show it, instead comforting Yang Jia, "Your situation is very special. The way you enter the game should be different from ours, and the method of logging off should be the same. You can try it slowly later. Regardless, this is good news for us."
Although neither of them cared about the different paths of their people and data, it was undeniable that there were still many inconveniences.
But now, one day, Yang Jia will be able to live in reality.
With this thought in mind, the difficulties before us are no longer so hopeless.
Li Bai touched Yang Jia's face, and then began to talk about what he had recently found out, especially Yang Jia's identity.
"So, if you don't think about how it was done, the situation should be like this," Yang Jia summarized. "My name is Yang Jia, and I'm a biological researcher working on Hope Star. Unfortunately, I was infected with a virus. My father is an IT expert and the person in charge of the 'Reality' project. So after the game was developed, he allowed me to enter the game while I was asleep. However, something went wrong along the way, and I lost my memory. I thought I was just an NPC. But this memory I just gained, did it really exist? It should have belonged to me in the first place."
"There may be some discrepancies in between, but this should be the general idea." Li Bai nodded.
"But..." Yang Jia frowned and thought about it, feeling that something was wrong. However, she didn't know how this matter was manipulated, so she didn't bring it up.
Perhaps it will remain a mystery forever.
She thought for a moment and said, "If this guess is correct, then Professor Yang, who is supposed to be my father, is truly remarkable."
"It's more than just amazing, it's a miracle." Li Bai said, "If all this is true, this world may become a true second world in the future."
Although medicine is very advanced nowadays, there are still some diseases that cannot be cured. For patients, real life will be very inconvenient or even painful, but they can live a healthy life in the game.
More importantly, if people in cryogenic sleep can also enter the game, then once the secret is cracked, human lifespan will be extended in another way! Those elderly people will fall into sleep in this way and continue to live for decades in the game world.
The development of this game is roughly in parallel with the outside world. That is to say, in the future, when the game world develops to a certain level, a lot of research can be transferred to the game, and then fed back into reality after success.
This is a change that can change the entire world pattern!
If Earth wasn't on the verge of destruction, and if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't hold out much longer, humans wouldn't even need to explore new planets. After all, any need they have for a living environment can be met in games.
Of course, Li Bai thinks more long-term, which also means that she and Yang Jia will have more chips in their hands.
As long as this game world still has value, it will not be destroyed for random reasons. Yang Jia’s previous hope that this world can develop naturally and not be destroyed by the appearance of players can also be achieved.
But now is not the time to reveal this matter, because the DIE virus in the game has not been resolved yet. At least we have to wait until this matter is over.
So Li Bai quickly came to his senses and warned Yang Jia, "Don't let anyone know about this for the time being. This is a serious matter. Even if the virus is resolved one day and you wake up, we must find a way to keep this a secret for the time being."
Previously, they worried that Yang Jia's NPC identity would be exposed, leading to her being captured and studied. But now that Yang Jia was no longer an NPC, those concerns remained. After all, this matter was too important. Once the outside world learned of it, they would undoubtedly scramble to gain control of her. Not to mention the Chinese region, which would undoubtedly want to be the first to uncover her secrets, and the other two regions would undoubtedly try to snatch her away as well.
Therefore, they had to investigate this matter on their own. By directly presenting the results, they could guarantee Yang Jia's safety to the greatest extent possible.
Of course, the best way is to have absolute strength so that no one dares to attack Yang Jia.
