"Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu..."
Shen Lingxiu hadn't finished speaking when Gu Nan interrupted her with a teasing tone, "I think 'Mr. Gu' is a bit too formal. Why don't you just call me Nan Ge?"
"Nan... Nan Ge."
Being interrupted twice by Gu Nan, Shen Lingxiu's nervousness actually eased a little.
Actually, Gu Nan didn't care much about titles.
The reason he interrupted her multiple times was to make Shen Lingxiu feel his casualness, so that she could relax.
In fact, by age, Gu Nan might even be a bit younger than Shen Lingxiu.
But in reality, Gu Nan had lived almost ten years longer than her.
If she were to call him by his actual age, then it would be Gu Nan who felt awkward.
"If there's anything, just say it directly. No need to be so reserved," Gu Nan said calmly.
"Phew~" Shen Lingxiu also let out a breath.
"From now on, I'm his mistress. If I keep being so reserved in front of him, will he dislike it?"
"As a mistress, if I can't relax in front of my lover?"
"Will my lover like that?"
"Since he bought me, I am his person."
"If I keep being so reserved, will he be unhappy?"
"If he's unhappy, then what about the cost of my mother's future treatments?"
"No!"
"I am already his person now."
"Then I must provide him with emotional value."
"Whatever he wants me to be, I will be."
After understanding her position, Shen Lingxiu naturally felt more at ease, and when she spoke again, she was much more natural: "I've already paid for my mother's surgery.
The hospital will arrange examinations tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
If there are no problems, the surgery will be performed in three days."
"En, I understand." Gu Nan nodded and instructed, "You don't need to worry about your mother's illness.
She will definitely be cured."
"Thank you," Shen Lingxiu said earnestly.
"No need to thank me." Gu Nan seemed to recall something and continued, "When your mother has her surgery, send me a message in advance."
"Okay."
Shen Lingxiu didn't know why Gu Nan wanted her to send him a message, but she still nodded and agreed.
After ending the call with Shen Lingxiu, Gu Nan's phone rang again.
Gu Nan's lips curved slightly into a knowing smile, then he gently pressed the answer button and said playfully, "Sister Mi, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"
However, a furious roar came from the other end of the line: "I'm so mad! I'm so mad!"
Gu Nan couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked curiously, "Sister Mi, which thoughtless person angered you?
Tell me quickly, I want to see who dares to anger our Sister Mi!"
His tone carried a hint of teasing and mockery.
Mi Ying didn't seem to calm her anger because of Gu Nan's words; she continued to say indignantly, "It's those South Korea sticks and Sakura Country devils, and those bitches from America!"
Gu Nan was utterly confused, but he still comforted her, "Sister Mi, don't get worked up yet. Tell me the whole story."
He tried to get Mi Ying to calm down so he could understand the situation better.
Why was she suddenly angry with foreigners?
And it was South Korea, Sakura Country, and America.
Although Gu Nan didn't have a good impression of these three countries either, in the current environment, it didn't seem like it was time for close combat.
There was absolutely no need to get angry because of them.
"It's all because of the all-server 24-hour leveling chart that 'Ten Thousand Races Continent' just released!" Mi Ying began to rant with a look of grief and indignation: "..."
Gu Nan had heard the beginning and had already deduced the general reason.
Twelve hours after the opening of "Ten Thousand Races Continent", the system released an all-server 24-hour leveling chart.
Gu Nan also knew about this chart.
It was an important reference for the allocation of main cities in each server of "Ten Thousand Races Continent".
In the game "Ten Thousand Races Continent", every server, regardless of size, initially had twelve Third-Tier Main Cities, four Second-Tier Main Cities, and one First-Tier Main City.
At different times, the "Ten Thousand Races Continent" system would release different chart missions.
Completing the missions could reward main cities.
For example, during the novice period, which was the town period (level 0-20).
All chart-rushing activities released by the system rewarded Third-Tier Main Cities.
During the Third-Tier Main City period (level 20-60), all chart-rushing activities released by the system rewarded Second-Tier Main Cities.
During the Second-Tier Main City period (level 60-120), all chart-rushing activities released by the system rewarded First-Tier Main Cities.
During the First-Tier Main City period (level 120-200), servers would be reorganized.
All servers would be aggregated together, and national wars would begin.
During this period, the main rewards were nation-protecting divine artifacts.
After all nation-protecting divine artifacts were rewarded, it would be time for Ten Thousand Races Continent to merge with Water Blue Star.
Just over ten minutes ago, the "Ten Thousand Races Continent" system released the all-server 24-hour leveling chart.
Among the top one hundred, there wasn't a single Hua Country person.
This situation was the same as in his previous life.
Because for the sake of fairness, the initial towns, Third-Tier Main Cities, Second-Tier Main Cities, and First-Tier Main Cities for all servers in "Ten Thousand Races Continent" were fixed.
The more players a server had, the fiercer the resource competition.
The first batch of players to enter the Hua Country Server numbered in the hundreds of millions; even killing a rabbit in the novice village required fighting over it.
In contrast, servers like Sakura Country, South Korea, and America.
As long as you had enough ability, there were endless rabbits to kill.
Given the limited resources, even if Hua Country had skilled players with excellent operations, they couldn't overcome the lack of resources.
They could challenge higher-level monsters.
However, with the blank slate attribute panel of a new player, successfully challenging them was undoubtedly a pipe dream.
The final result was that not a single Hua Country person made it into the top one hundred of the all-server 24-hour leveling chart.
The all-server 24-hour leveling chart.
The first place rewarded 3 Third-Tier Main Cities and one silver treasure chests.
The second place rewarded two Third-Tier Main Cities and three bronze treasure chests.
The third place rewarded one Third-Tier Main City and two bronze treasure chests.
From fourth to one hundredth place, one bronze treasure chest was rewarded.
Within twelve hours, most of those on the all-server 24-hour leveling chart were level 3 players.
As for Hua Country, the highest level so far was only level two.
There was already a whole level difference with the first place.
It was basically impossible to surpass the people on the all-server 24-hour leveling chart in the next twenty-four hours.
It should be noted that the main city rewards on the all-server 24-hour leveling chart were related to the national destiny of a server.
One more city meant one more resource point.
The development of the game was inherently a snowball effect; the more resources obtained in the early stage, the smoother the development would be in the later stage.
With Third-Tier Main Cities as rewards, those on the all-server 24-hour leveling chart would absolutely not slack off.
Those not in the top three would fight to get there.
Those already in the top three would fight to maintain their position.
In the previous life, no one from Hua Country made it onto the all-server 24-hour leveling chart.
In this life, the situation was different.
Because Hua Country had me—Gu Nan!
