"Uh, what's going on?"
Wang Ming, still in a state of excitement, looked puzzled and assumed it was a bug in the game, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But after that, the system would issue an alarm every minute. Wang Ming knew that there was really a problem with the game, so he quit the game.
"Brother Gang, five minutes are up. Carry Ming'er out."
"Okay, sure."
Wang Gang and Lin Muyu helped Wang Ming out of the game pod, one on each side.
Upon seeing this scene, Wang Ming, who had just exited the game, realized that it wasn't a problem with the game at all. It was because his parents wanted him to wash up at 8 p.m. and had turned off the game pod's functionality!
Wang Ming felt somewhat helpless. Fortunately, he wasn't fighting monsters this time. If this had happened while he was fighting a boss, it would have been a tragedy.
But I've been playing for so long, yet I don't feel tired at all.
"Brother Gang, I still think that Ming'er has gained some weight and seems to have become more fleshy."
“Well, Mu Yu, you know what, I had the same feeling today. Ming’er’s arms seem fuller than before.”
"Could this game really work?"
"Well, it's hard to say. Dr. Qin said that the game could stimulate Ming'er's brain, but he didn't mention his body."
“Brother Gang, whether it’s his brain or his body, Ming’er is developing in a positive direction, so there is hope for a full recovery.”
"Yes, this gaming pod was a worthwhile purchase."
"Oh, right, Brother Gang, what are those shareholders doing here today?"
"Actually, it's nothing much. I contacted them."
"You're the one who made the contact?"
"Yes, the household expenses are too high, and Ming'er's nutritional fluids can't be interrupted, so I called them here to transfer some shares to them."
"Transfer shares? But, Brother Gang, if the shares are transferred, will the company still belong to our family?"
"Don't worry, Mu Yu. Even if I sell some shares, I will still have absolute control of the company. I know what I'm doing."
"Moreover, even if I lose absolute control of the company one day, or leave the company, I am willing to do anything as long as I can cure Ming'er."
"Brother Gang..."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Tomorrow I'll have Dr. Qin come again to give Ming'er a thorough check-up and see if he's really gotten better."
"Um."
...
Back in the game pod, Wang Ming couldn't shake off the feeling for a long time.
Wang Ming's company was built from scratch by his grandfather, and it represents countless hours of hard work from both his grandfather and father.
Since his grandfather passed away, Wang Gang has cherished the company.
Unexpectedly, because of me, my father might lose control of the company. He must be feeling very upset.
“Alas, if I could recover on my own, or if I could earn money, my father wouldn’t have to go through all this. But how can I earn money when I’m in a vegetative state?”
Although it was late at night, Wang Ming was so upset that he couldn't fall asleep.
So they entered the metaverse again.
"Let's play the game first. I can feel that my spirits are getting better. Maybe this game can really cure me, and then my father's problem can be solved too."
Back in the game, Wang Ming went straight to the pharmacy.
He then purchased 30 bottles of basic health recovery potions, 5 bottles of basic intelligence potions, 5 bottles of basic spirit potions, and 5 bottles of basic agility potions.
Although I am a physical melee class, I have the talent skill of fighting bare-handed, and I can also benefit from seemingly useless basic attributes such as intelligence and spirit.
"I still have more than 3 gold coins in my backpack. I have so much money but nowhere to spend it. Sigh, if only you could turn it into real currency."
Wang Ming looked at the game coins in his backpack, which hadn't decreased much, and muttered to himself.
"Turn it into real currency? Hmm?"
"Holy crap, I can't make money in real life, but I can get game currency now, and that game currency can be exchanged for real money, so isn't that a way of making money?!"
Wang Ming's gaming philosophy used to be summed up in one word: recharge! recharge! and recharge some more!
Now the tables have turned completely, from recharging to cashing out, and Wang Ming has only just realized it.
"3 gold coins, which is 30,000 real-world currency! Isn't that money?!" Wang Ming felt a chill run down his spine at the thought.
"I can earn money now, which can help ease some of the burden on my parents."
Suppressing his excitement, Wang Ming headed towards the level 5 monsters.
The starting village is built against the mountain. Apart from one side being backed by the mountain, the rest of the village is surrounded by a semi-circular wilderness. The farther away you are, the higher the level of the monsters.
Wang Ming's attributes had improved significantly, and his movement speed had also increased considerably. In less than an hour, he arrived at the area with level 5 monsters.
Looking at the group of fox spirits in front of him, Wang Ming used his Insight Technique on them.

These red foxes have fiery red fur, bushy tails, and cunning eyes that exude a cleverness as they tumble and frolic on the grass.
Watching the playful fire fox, Wang Ming revealed an evil smile, and then used a basic strength potion, a basic intelligence potion, a basic agility potion, a basic spirit potion, and a basic stamina potion in succession.
He then attacked a regular-level fire fox in front of him.

"System notification: Congratulations on killing the Fire Fox. Due to the current nighttime hours, the experience gained is halved. You have gained 50 experience points, plus an additional 10 experience points, 1 copper coin, and +1 merit."
"System notification: Your cultivation technique - Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, gaining 1 point of Spirit attribute."
"Hehe, as expected, it triggered the Soul Devouring ability."
"It seems my deduction was correct. Different monsters, as long as it's the first one I kill, will trigger Soul Devour 100% of the time. Moreover, for the same type of monster, whether it's a normal monster, an elite monster, or a boss, it will always trigger the Soul Devour when the first one is killed."
"But what's with the experience points being halved during this nighttime period?"
This was Wang Ming's first time playing the game at night. He was somewhat surprised to hear the system notification. He then looked at his character and, sure enough, there was a moon-shaped icon in the character's status bar.
Night Sleep
Description: Experience gained from killing monsters during sleep is halved.
Time period: 23:00~05:00
"Night Sleep! This should be a measure taken by the official team to ensure players' normal sleep schedule. However, in the early stages of the game, this measure did not completely stop the players' enthusiasm."
"Moreover, this sleep doesn't seem to be a bad thing for me."
