“What you’d like to drink? I have Iron Goddess tea, cola, and… plain water.”
Su Yu offered drinks to his unexpected guest, Xue Wenli, while his back was turned to her.
“No need, I don’t require anything.”
Xue Wenli was seated on the sofa, her arms crossed over her slender thighs, assessing the layout of Su Yu’s room.
“Hmm, the home of an ordinary geek,” she quickly drew the conclusion.
However, three things seemed odd to her:
Firstly, there was a gaming helmet on the bed. It’s a helmet for the newly released holographic simulation game “Evolution” that costs up to 30,000 yuan! Not something the average person would willingly buy.
Secondly, the wallpaper on the wall opposite the bed showed signs of being scorched and was peeling off. It appeared to have been caused by electric welding, but there were no welding tools in the room.
Thirdly, the target was too calm!
If it were an ordinary person, they would have panicked and trembled in fear as soon as she showed her credentials upon entering the room.
If someone remains this calm, they must be pretty confident in themselves!
Xue Wenli observed Su Yu’s back with a stern and unyielding gaze.
Su Yu brought over two glasses of plain water. He placed one of them on the coffee table in front of Xue Wenli.
“So, what brings you here?” Su Yu sat across from her.
Xue Wenli subtly shifted her gaze, took a small red notebook out of her bag and placed it on the coffee table: “Mr. Su Yu, this is the title deed of this apartment. We have transferred the ownership to your name as a token of goodwill.”
“Oh, are you trying to bribe me?”
As he slowly sipped his water, Su Yu pondered over the one-bedroom apartment that was just a little over fifty square meters. Had he lost on the deal?
If I’d known that the concerned department was so generous, I should have rented a mansion instead.
But, one thing was certain; at least he wouldn’t have to worry about paying rent anymore.
“Not exactly. We just hope that Mr. Su Yu, considering the title deed, could answer a few questions for us.”
Xue Wenli took out an enlarged photograph from her bag and placed it in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at the picture.
The picture showed him jumping out of the window through the shattered glass on the 19th floor of the Mu Yun building.
“Ah, I knew it!” Su Yu sighed internally.
He had a bad feeling when he saw the girl raising her phone to take a picture while he was still mid-air.
He had no idea that only a few hours had passed and the authorities had already found him.
“The person in the photo is you, right?” Xue Wenli asked as she keenly stared at su Yu.
“It’s me.” Su Yu admitted with a shrug.
There was no point in denying it at this stage. If they compared his pictures with him in person, the similarity in physique and hairstyle would definitely be a hundred percent. It was better to confess now than later.
“Can you explain to us why you were unscathed after jumping from the 19th floor?”
“Because I am invincible.” Su Yu answered.
“Invincible?” Xue Wenli echoed.
“Yes, I’ve been alive for 23 years and haven’t died yet, so I am invincible.” Su Yu said in an earnest tone.
Xue Wenli: ‘
She felt a bit played.
Just like everyone else hadn’t died, what special about being “invincible”!
However, as someone who had weathered many storms, it only took a brief moment for Xue Wenli to suppress the anger that made her veins throbbing.
“So, can you tell us how you achieved this ‘invincibility’? Were you born with it?
Or…”
Xue Wenli glanced at the gaming device on the bed, her eyes narrowed.
According to what Zhong Feng had relayed after consulting with Zhang Jiao, once you obtain Level 50, you can manifest your in-game abilities into reality. Could Su Yu’s abilities be sourced from the game “Evolution”?
Seeing Xue Wenli’s gaze shift to the gaming helmet, Su Yu decided to reveal the truth: “Yes, my abilities come from the game ‘Evolution’. I can bring some of my in-game abilities into the real world.”
Su Yu lifted his right hand, an electric arc sparkling from his fingertips, crackling as it stood poised, at the ready to unleash [Lightning Bolt].
“This…..
Witnessing the electricity in Su Yu’s palm, Xue Wenli’s eyes narrowed sharply.
Zhang Jiao didn’t lie to them; the proof was right in front of them! The abilities from the game could actually be manifested in reality!
If Zhong Feng saw this, he would probably faint from joy!
“You’ve reached level 50 already?!”
“No, it’s just a special talent that allows me to manifest my abilities earlier.”
“I see.”
Xue Wenli stared into Su Yu’s face, her expression showing a mixture of emotions.
This was a big deal!
The fact that “Evolution” could provide players with superpowers was confirmed, which would multiply Country’s interest in the game manifold!
Moreover, based on the abilities Su Yu had already demonstrated, they could roughly estimate how strong a human could become once they reached level 50 in “Evolution”. This was crucial information!
Seeing Xue Wenli lapse into silence, Su Yu decided to seize the opportunity, “As for the events that happened this morning, I can explain.”
“I’ve never been to the top floor of the building before. Out of curiosity, I decided to take a look around since I was leaving my job.’
“I reached the entrance of the President’s office and was suddenly pulled inside by someone who tried to attack me!”
“I was terrified, so I threw a bolt of lightning at them.”
“They became furious and forcefully masked me and threw me out of the building. I survived by magnetically clinging onto the wall with my ability. That’s pretty much everything I know.”
“Hmm…” Xue Wenli nodded.
She had previously interrogated Wang Chongyang, the head of the finance department of Mu Yun Company. According to his account, Su Yu indeed expressed a desire to wander around the building.
However, there were still many suspicious points in the incident.
For instance, the janitor said that nobody saw Su Yu;
The door lock to the president’s office was damaged by lightning, suggesting Su Yu was involved;
Where did the Skuru people’s weapon, which could penetrate walls, go?
Xue Wenli knew that Su Yu was certainly hiding something from her.
But that wasn’t the point.
The essential matter was that Su Yu indeed managed to bring his powers from the game “Evolution” into reality. This information was of the utmost importance to her department, the entire Country, and even the global human race!
Xue Wenli stood up and looked Su Yu square in the eyes, “Would you be willing to join our department as a ‘Special Advisor’?”
Noticing Su Yu’s furrowed eyebrows, she hurriedly clarified, “A ‘Special Advisor’ doesn’t need to report to the department, you can continue staying at home playing your game. I will be the only one in contact with you, and you’ll be entitled to high-level government treatment.”
The establishment motto of the concerned department was “To unite all of the possible forces to jointly combat the invaders”.
In accordance with this, she offered an olive branch to Su Yu instead of having him arrested.
“We can work together.” Su Yu answered warily.
Collaborating with the department was bound to happen eventually one way or another.
In the game, he needed a large number of people to collect materials after he built the Mage Tower. Outside the game, he needed more information about the specters to accumulate more experience.
However…
“My power level is still too low at the moment. Being underpowered doesn’t make me influential. I need to level up fast!” Su Yu sighed internally..
