“Mom, should I agree to the hospital’s offer?” Xu Muyan looked at Shen Xue.
Hearing her daughter’s words, Shen Xue thought for a moment and said, “If you want to come, that’s fine. At least the City People’s Hospital is closer to home. If you want to go to a better hospital, that’s also fine. Mother supports you.”
Hearing her mother’s words, Xu Muyan looked at the hospital director: “Director, can I start working a few days later? Also, can the cost of my Mother’s treatment this time be waived?”
Hearing Xu Muyan’s words, the hospital director nodded without any hesitation: “Yes, you can come whenever you want to start work. Additionally, the hospital will waive all of your Mother’s treatment fees.”
“Thank you, Director,” Xu Muyan quickly thanked him.
She didn't expect that her Mother’s illness and her visit to the hospital would actually solve her employment problem.
Upon receiving Xu Muyan’s definite answer, the hospital leaders were all very pleased.
A Warlock who possesses the Healing Skill is a treasure in any hospital.
Soon after, a group of hospital leaders and doctors left, leaving only the family in the ward.
“Xu Muyan, I don’t object to you working at the hospital, but when you register for employment, you must say you are 23 years old and that the age on your ID card is fake, understood?” Shen Xue solemnly instructed her daughter, Xu Muyan.
“Why?” Xu Muyan was puzzled.
“Why? Then let me ask you, how long has it been since you were pulled into the game?” Shen Xue asked her daughter.
“This, only a few days.”
“You also know it’s only been a few days. Is it reasonable to learn the Healing Skill in just a few days?”
“What’s so unreasonable about it?” Xu Muyan was puzzled.
In her opinion, Xin Zhongze learned Fireball even before her.
“Are you truly stupid or just pretending? Do you know how abnormal it is to learn the Healing Skill in just a few days? Even if a normal person continuously enters the game world, it would take at least several months, or even a year, or several years to learn a supernatural ability. You learned a supernatural ability in a few days. Aren’t you afraid of being captured and dissected for research?” Shen Xue glared at Xu Muyan, annoyed.
Hearing Shen Xue’s words, Xu Muyan finally realized the seriousness of the situation. She shrunk her neck, then quickly nodded: “Then I’ll just say I’m 23 years old and that I entered the game last year.”
“Right, say it just like that.”
After speaking, Shen Xue looked at Xin Zhongze: “Xin Zhongze, if anyone asks about Xu Muyan’s situation, you must also say the same, understood? And you, Xu Muchan, you understand what to say, right?”
“Understood!”
Xin Zhongze and Xu Muchan nodded quickly.
Hearing Shen Xue’s words, Xin Zhongze also realized that mastering skills in just a few days seemed quite extraordinary in this world.
In fact, if Xin Zhongze hadn't discovered the barrier, then it would have been impossible for him and Xu Muyan to level up from Level 1 to Level 2 in such a short time.
If Xin Zhongze didn't have a cheat that allowed him to stack multiple weapons and equipment, he wouldn't have been able to level up so quickly to such a high level.
If Xin Zhongze’s level wasn't high enough, it wouldn't have been possible for Xu Muyan to kill monsters beyond her level, allowing both of them to reach Level 7 and learn the Healing Skill in a short time.
According to a normal person’s situation, after entering the game, they wouldn't initially know that the safe zone is only safe for a limited time, so on the first day, no one would desperately kill monsters to level up.
After the safe zone disappears, everyone would face attacks from monsters, and probably less than 30% of the people would survive.
After finally leveling up to Level 2 and leaving the game, the vast majority of people would not enter the game again.
Even if someone enters the game out of curiosity, killing monsters in the wild is not that easy.
Monsters in the wild, whether in terms of attack, defense, or speed, are all slightly higher than players of the same level.
Killing monsters, if it's a group of people besieging one monster, that's fine, but if it's a one-on-one fight with a monster, there's a very high probability of dying.
Of course, humans mainly rely on wisdom to live. If they create traps and mechanisms, they might be able to solo monsters.
However, if they kill monsters that way, the speed would be too slow.
To level up from Level 2 to Level 7, one needs to kill about two thousand monsters of the same level.
Even if one uses various traps to solo monsters, killing two thousand monsters that are stronger than oneself would take several months, which is impossible to complete. It would be normal to achieve it in a year or even several years.
However, among those who come out of the game world, even if they re-enter the game out of curiosity, being able to persist once or twice might show great patience.
But for a period of time thereafter, if they find that entering the game doesn't change anything for them in reality, and instead they might face the risk of dying at any time, then the vast majority of people will not be able to keep going.
And those who can persist in the game world for over a year and successfully acquire skills are mostly people with great perseverance and determination, who are also prepared to die at any time.
Only such people have the chance to master the Healing Skill or magic, and so on.
Therefore, it is only right for hospitals to hire such people with high salaries.
Furthermore, if Xin Zhongze were willing to reveal that he is a Mage, many wealthy individuals would definitely be willing to pay a high price to hire him as a bodyguard.
Moreover, if he wanted to join the military, the military would definitely give him a very high position.
In Xin Zhongze’s opinion, for a normal person to safely acquire skills, unless he clearly knows the information within the game and then organizes a group of people from the same Novice Village to cooperate, with everyone fighting monsters and leveling up together, only then can the risk be minimized and there would be a high probability of learning skills.
However, the current situation is that everyone loses their memories of the game after leaving it.
They won't remember what happened in the game and will only believe that the death rate in the game is too high, and they don't want to die, so the vast majority of people, once out, will not be willing to re-enter the game.
In the game, if one is fighting alone, it would be too difficult to reach Level 7.
Fortunately, Xin Zhongze had a cheat, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to level up so quickly, nor would he have been able to help his wife, Xu Muyan, level up quickly.
If Xu Muyan hadn't leveled up to Level 7 and learned the Healing Skill, Mother-in-law Shen Xue would probably have been in danger this time.
...
At ten o’clock in the evening, the hospital conducted an examination on Shen Xue and found that her condition was stable. After confirming that she would recover completely with just one more treatment from Xu Muyan, they directly processed her discharge.
At ten-thirty in the evening, the family arrived at a hotpot restaurant near the hospital.
Mother-in-law Shen Xue suddenly fell ill in the afternoon, and the family hadn't had dinner yet; by now, they were all ravenously hungry.
After finishing a hotpot meal, everyone returned home feeling satisfied.
Upon returning home, Shen Xue immediately called Xin Zhongze and Xu Muyan into her room and began a three-person interrogation.
“Tell me, after you two came out of the game last time, did you enter the game world every day?” Shen Xue asked the couple with a stern face.
Hearing this, Xin Zhongze nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Xu Muyan interrupted him.
“Mom, we secretly entered the game world at night. You don’t have to blame Xin Zhongze; I forced him to go in with me,” Xu Muyan told her Mother.
Hearing this, Xin Zhongze’s eyes showed a surprised look.
He didn’t expect Xu Muyan to say that, which puzzled him greatly.
However, before Xin Zhongze could speak, Xu Muyan pinched him, signaling him not to talk.
“What little tricks are you two up to?” Their actions naturally couldn't escape the notice of Mother-in-law Shen Xue, who couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Muyan.
“It doesn’t matter who dragged whom into the game world. The problem is that you two cannot enter the game world anymore. Xiaobao and Weiwei are still so young. If you two die in there, are you really going to leave the children for me, an old woman, to raise? Can you bear to do that?”
