After completing his mission at the Sword Committee, Gu Han hurriedly rushed to the medical center of the Sword Holder Service Center for a brain examination, hoping to obtain a certificate allowing him to re-enter the game.
Fortunately, the Sword Holder Service Center was not far from the Sword Committee. After completing the registration procedures at the front desk and heading to the examination center, Gu Han unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance: the reasonable and understanding girl who had tested his sword element value.
"How is it you again?" The girl recognized Gu Han's face first. It seemed that Gu Han's incident had left a significant impression on her.
"What a coincidence, it's me, and I'm back again!" Gu Han still had a certain fondness for this somewhat scatterbrained girl. If it weren't for her scatterbrained test, he might not have discovered that he already had 100 quarks of sword element value.
"What a coincidence, we're back again!" Qingpin, who was in Gu Han's kangaroo pouch, also stretched out a hand and mimicked Gu Han's words.
"Wow! So cute! Is this your daughter?" Girls have no resistance to cute things. This girl, seeing Qingpin dressed as a crocodile, almost wanted to rush into Gu Han's arms... not to throw herself at him, but to snatch Qingpin from his arms.
"She's not my daughter..." Gu Han's face darkened. "She's my Sword Maiden!"
"Sword Maiden?" The girl blinked. "You only reached 100 quarks of sword element two days ago, and now you have a Sword Maiden? Did you become a Sword Holder the day before yesterday? I'm so envious! Meiya already has 1900 quarks, but she hasn't found her Sword Maiden yet." Her eyes were full of envy.
"You already have 1900 quarks of sword element? Are you a Famous Sword level Sword Holder in the game with 100,000 quarks?" Gu Han was very surprised by this number. The girl was probably only 25 or 26 years old. Without the help and battles of a Sword Maiden, she had reached 1900 quarks through the conversion of sword elements in the game. It seemed that this girl had achieved remarkable success in the game, at least at the Famous Sword level.
"No!" The girl blushed. "Just a Treasure Sword!"
"Treasure Sword!" Gu Han was even more surprised. Even a Treasure Sword level Sword Holder with 9999 quarks, at a 2% conversion rate, should not have a real-life sword element value exceeding 200 quarks. In other words, this girl's innate sword element value was at least 1700 quarks, which was already the standard for the world's top geniuses.
On the forum, someone had listed the top ten people with the highest innate sword element values. The first place was naturally the 15,600 quarks of sword element of the Sword Ancestor Liunianli, which no one could match. The tenth place genius had an innate sword element value of 2054 quarks, only a few hundred more than this girl. This girl might not make the top ten list, but she would definitely be on the top hundred list. It was unexpected that a random encounter with a doctor girl would reveal such a genius.
Comparing this talent with his own 9 innate quarks of sword element, Gu Han felt like burying himself underground.
But thinking about it the other way, this doctor girl would also have the urge to bury herself underground when she saw Gu Han. He had 100 quarks of sword element and succeeded in his first synchronization, while she had been to the synchronization 38 times and was still just a regular person. The gap was enough to make someone with a poor mindset collapse. It was fortunate that this doctor girl was naturally carefree and optimistic.
"So, what are you here for today?" The girl asked dryly. She really didn't want to see this lucky guy.
"I seem to have overused my brain in the game. The system has locked my account, and I need a brain health certificate from you to unlock it!" Gu Han tapped his newly replaced personal terminal on the computer, and a complete set of medical records appeared on the screen.
"Overused your brain in the game?" The doctor girl was shocked again. The game had a built-in brain protection program. Breaking through the game's protection and directly overusing the brain was something she hadn't encountered in her three years as a doctor. After Gu Han left, the girl even checked the medical records. The last person who overused their brain in the game was 15 years ago.
"Lie down on that bed, and I'll examine you!" This time, Gu Han didn't have to sit in a chair but lay more comfortably on a hospital bed. At the other end of the bed was a very traditional CT machine, said to be a thousand-year-old technology that had never been updated.
After about three minutes of examination, the CT scan showed no abnormalities in Gu Han's brain. Using a gravity wave scanner to scan the brain's mental patterns and sword element circulation, no problems were found. The doctor girl concluded that Gu Han's brain had fully recovered and he could continue playing the game.
Then, under Gu Han's watchful eye, the doctor girl issued a brain health certificate and sent it to the game division of BAT through the hospital's dedicated network. If everything went well, the login lock would be lifted tonight.
However, even with the lock lifted, Gu Han still couldn't log into the game because he had died in the game and had to wait three days, 72 hours, before he could enter the game.
With the doctor girl giving Qingpin endless cute looks, Gu Han left the Sword Holder Service Center. It was time to head home... the sky was almost dark.
"Gu Han, are we going home?" Qingpin, who was in the kangaroo pouch, suddenly asked. Her tone was clearly unhappy.
"Yes! Where else can we go if not home?" Gu Han had a bad feeling. Qingpin wouldn't want to...
"No! No! Qingpin doesn't want to go home! Qingpin doesn't want to go home! Qingpin wants to eat meat, Qingpin wants to eat meat!" As expected, Qingpin, standing on Gu Han's chest, started jumping around. If it weren't for Gu Han's martial arts foundation and solid stance, he would have been thrown off balance and fallen to the ground.
"But, Qingpin, I have no money left!" Gu Han showed Qingpin his wallet balance, which displayed a large 12.5 yuan, indicating he was in dire poverty. Qingpin's combat power was too strong. Gu Han felt that even with a monthly income of a million, he might not be able to support this meat-loving little ancestor.
"Gu Han, please! Qingpin wants to eat meat!" Seeing that jumping and making a fuss didn't work, Qingpin quickly switched to a cute and pleading expression...
"Qingpin, I really have no money..." Gu Han was almost in tears.
ββββββ
"Unknown number: 56132597458, requesting a communication connection. Do you want to accept?" Just as Qingpin was making the most noise, a communication request came to Gu Han's personal terminal. Gu Han remembered this number; it had called him at noon, but he had hung up.
"Hello, what do you need?" Gu Han patted Qingpin's head, signaling her to quiet down, and then answered the call.
"Hello, Mr. Gu Han, this is Wen Meiyun. We had an appointment. Would it be convenient to meet now?" A gentle, charming, and magnetic female voice asked urgently on the other end of the line.
"Wen Meiyun? I don't know you!" Gu Han was taken aback. He had never heard this woman's name before. Wait, didn't he agree to meet Song Hamma's mother's friend at noon? Could it be her?
"Are you Song Hamma's mother's friend? The woman who wants to buy my citizenship slot?"
"Yes, it's me, Mr. Gu Han. I've already reserved a table at Chanel Pork Restaurant. If it's convenient for you, can we meet now? I'm really in a hurry! Please, I beg you!" Wen Meiyun almost pleaded on the other end of the line.
It's like they say, when you need something, it comes easily. Just as he was about to go to sleep, someone offered him a pillow. If you had said you had a reservation at Chanel earlier, I wouldn't have been driven crazy by Qingpin, this crazy girl! Right, I need to remind Qingpin not to order so much meat like at noon. A woman can't be taken advantage of too much...
Coincidentally, when Gu Han arrived at Chanel, the same waitress who had guided him at noon came out to greet him.
"Mr. Gu Han! You're back, welcome, welcome!" The waitress didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Although she had earned a few ten thousand RMB at noon, Gu Han had taken someone else's money. If he came again in the afternoon and ate for free, wouldn't he be taking her money?
"However, I'm sorry, Mr. Gu Han, you're a bit late this afternoon, and there are very few tables available for sharing!" There were still a few tables available for sharing, but the waitress didn't plan to guide Gu Han to them.
"No problem, no problem. I have an appointment this time. Could you tell me where Miss Wen Meiyun's reserved table is?" Gu Han smiled, unaware of the waitress's thoughts.
"Miss Wen Meiyun? Let me check." The waitress checked her personal terminal and found that Miss Wen Meiyun had indeed reserved a table. It seemed that a free meal wouldn't happen this time, so the waitress breathed a sigh of relief and led Gu Han to Wen Meiyun's table.
Gu Han glanced at the woman, and his usually calm heart was stirred. The woman was unadorned and very simple. Her oval face, without any foundation, was still very fair and tender. Her lips were as plump as cherries, and her nose was as straight as a Greek sculpture. Her black hair was styled in a simple and elegant manner, and her forehead was clear and smooth, with delicate eyebrows and gentle, watery eyes.
Such beautiful features combined to magnify her beauty even more. She looked to be in her mid-thirties, but her figure and skin were still very tender and plump, as if every inch of her skin could be pinched to release water.
From her demeanor and attire, she was indeed a graceful and well-preserved noble lady. However, her clothing was very simple, seemingly an old style from a decade ago. It was hard to imagine that such a noble lady would dress so carelessly, like the Queen of England suddenly wearing a 20-yuan set of clothes bought from Taobao.
