Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 144: Reluctance

Su Jinghe was surprised when he heard the first topic his sister mentioned.

"Apocalypse game?" He mulled over.

At this moment, Su Yining was already a little panicked. She gripped her phone tightly. "Yes, an apocalypse game."

Her eyes landed on Xiao Lei.

"Why? Do you want to invite me to play? Wait a little while..."

"No," she cut him off. "I am just asking you if you remember the game. I have shown you before. It’s farming oriented with beastmen as its characters."

"Is it a new game you just downloaded? Send me the link. Let me take a look," Su Jinghe replied, a little puzzled.

She didn’t need to hear the answer further. "Brother, I suddenly have something I have to do. See you later."

With that, she cut off the line, sighing deeply.

"Xiao Lei," she called out.

Xiao Lei looked up to her with its small eyes, meowing curiously.

"I want to ask you about something, nod if you understand my words," she said seriously.

Sensing its owner’s serious tone, Xiao Lei meowed, then it nodded, showing its understanding.

Su Yining took a deep breath. "Do you remember the game I showed you before? The base was surrounded by various fierce beasts, then the beastmen. There are also farming elements... if you remember, please nod again."

She held up two fingers, hoping Xiao Lei’s nod wasn’t merely a coincidence. "Two times."

Her heart was beating quite hard, and she held her breath, waiting for Xiao Lei to respond. It tilted its head, as if inspecting her expression. She could feel her heart sinking deeper with each passing second.

Until...

Xiao Lei nodded. Exactly two times.

"You..." she let out a deep breath, eyes wide. Her hand touched her forehead. "You also remember, right? I am not crazy... but why doesn’t my brother remember?"

In order to make sure again, she asked Xiao Lei to nod a few times again, each time with a different number.

Xiao Lei meowed loudly, a little annoyed. It jumped from her lap and ran away. Meanwhile, Su Yining was still in a daze at the realization.

She bit her nails. If the game was real, then why couldn’t she find it? Her mind returned to the oddities of the game.

Yuanyuan gave her that set of exercises, then the prescription. They were strangely working. She became more healthy, and although her strength still couldn’t rival a group of men, she was confident she could take down two or three.

Would a mere game character give her such a strange exercise and prescription? She fell into a deep thought.

Her mind drifted to Yuanyuan’s proactive chatting. Almost like he was an actual person instead of just a game character...

There was also that real face version. His otherworldly looks made him appear unreal, but these vivid features appeared too genuine to be mistaken for machine creation.

"Argh!!" She punched the pillow. Her head felt like it was about to explode.

Despite the game’s strangeness, a deep sadness enveloped her when she thought that she couldn’t play the game again. She wanted to find out about its oddity even more, but, unfortunately she can’t now.

And... all of this was because of Zhao Yuyin!

Thinking of that old witch, her eyes flashed with annoyance. She just couldn’t let these two be for now... because they kept on harassing her and disturbing her peaceful life, don’t blame her for retaliating!

That night, she dialed her father, having a long discussion.

From that day, she also kept checking her phone, for any update if the game would return or not. However, days passed into weeks, no matter how many times she checked, she still couldn’t find the traces of the game anywhere.

Su Ruolan was released from the jail, and of course, the Su family needed to pay a huge amount of compensation because the victim’s family was quite greedy; they kept pushing for more.

Unfortunately, the victim was never found again. After a few days of searching, she was determined dead.

Even if Su Ruolan was released, her days in the Su family were no longer as comfortable. Lately, Su Mingze also had been trying to call her a lot.

She almost never bothered to answer. Her mind often drifted to the game, and Su Mingze’s name just reminded her of what that old witch had done.

Su Yining’s reluctance over the game never once lessened. Although Yuanyuan in the game was always in a chibi form... his real face version kept haunting her lately.

She realized that if he were an actual person, he would be a very tall and masculine man. Calling him a nickname like Yuanyuan... even she was a little ashamed.

This kind of shame never surfaced when she was playing the game, but now, she could feel it deeply. Perhaps because his face kept showing up even in her dreams.

She shook her head, wanting to mull over another topic.

Her brother also had been making a move on the Chen family, causing them to be busy. Although Chen Kaixuan was good for nothing, if the family cut off the money he often received from them, he would also suffer.

Unexpectedly, it had another impact...

"Yining." Han Zhicong sent her a message. "I need to discuss something important with you. Can’t we meet?"

Su Yining glanced at the message. Before she could exit the chat window, another one popped in.

"It’s about Chen Kaixuan."

She frowned, not wanting to bother. However, the next day, Han Zhicong didn’t come to work. Even the few days after that, she still didn’t see him.

"Sister Qin, what’s happened to Han Zhicong?" She pulled Sister Qin over and asked.

Now, she became a little worried. Because he never replied again when she sent him a message. A sense of guilt suddenly welled up in her chest.

"You haven’t heard about it?" Sister Qin asked rhetorically. "He has resigned."

Eh? She stared blankly ahead, feeling it wasn’t simple.

The next day, she received a call when she was walking home from her office.

It was from Han Zhicong. But... will it really be him on the other side?
