Chapter Three Paradise

  Dr. Zhao couldn't help but take a glance at Xiao Yu's face, on which still lingered the awkwardness and shyness of a big boy. But beneath this plain, simple yet somewhat handsome face, how many untold stories were hidden? How much bitter life experience had he gone through?

  "Is Dr. Zhao a volunteer?" Xiao Yu finally recovered from the awkward and shy mood he had been in earlier, asking.

  "Yes, I'm a volunteer from Medical University, here for an internship." Dr. Zhao said, starting to take out medicine from the cabinet.

  A brilliant student at a medical university, with a bright future ahead of him. Xiao Yu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

  When applying medicine to Xiao Yu's back, Dr. Zhao's fingers involuntarily trembled slightly. Usually calm, her heart surged like a tide as she gazed at the scars covering his back. As she applied ointment to the wounds, she felt extremely uneasy inside and was even afraid of causing Xiao Yu pain when touching the wounds.

  "It hurts and you can cry out loud." Dr. Zhao said, his hands unconsciously lightening up a bit more.

  Xiao Yu smiled faintly, not showing any expression. This bit of pain was nothing to Xiao Yu, but Doctor Zhao's icy yet slippery fingertips touching Xiao Yu's skin made his face flush slightly.

  After finishing the medicine, Zhao replaced Xiao Yu's bandage and let out a light breath. The white fingers of the scallion wiped away the sweat beads on her forehead, this was probably the most difficult medical treatment in her career.

  Xiao Yu put on his clothes and smiled politely at Dr. Zhao, saying "thank you".

  "Don't worry, just be more careful on your way home and keep the wound clean." Doctor Zhao instructed.

  "Hmm. Dr. Zhao should also be careful, those two people may come looking for you again." Xiao Yu said with some concern.

  "Don't worry, when I first joined the army, I practiced some martial arts, and normally two or three people can't handle me." Dr. Zhao said lightly.

  Xiao Yu was somewhat stunned, looking at Dr. Zhao who was gentle and quiet, not like someone who had practiced martial arts or come from the military, Xiao Yu thought of the white hands that had landed on his right wrist earlier, perhaps she really did have a few tricks up her sleeve.

  "Goodbye, Dr. Zhao." said Xiao Yu, standing up and walking out.

  "Goodbye." Dr. Zhao said, watching Xiao Yu's back disappear at the door, and sighed, since coming to the slum, she had seen too many misfortunes.

  After leaving the hospital, Xiao Yu looked up at the sky and saw that it was already afternoon. Xiaoyu should be out of school now, so Xiao Yu headed home.

  She opened the low wooden door and walked into the small crowded kitchen, starting to rinse rice for cooking, getting busy.

  The door creaked open with a squeak, and Xiaoyu's happy figure darted into the wooden house.

  "Brother, I'm back!" Xiaoyu called out sweetly and crisply, followed by an exclamation of surprise, "Wow, it smells like roasted duck! Brother, you're going to get rich today?"

  Xiao Yu's words left Xiao Yu speechless and laughing, indeed he had made a fortune.

  "Salary is paid today." said Xiao Yu, his right hand unconsciously touched his nose, "Eat quickly."

  Seeing Xiao Yu's habitual action, Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed for a moment. "Brother, you know, you're really bad at lying." Xiaoyu's expression flashed by in an instant, and she smiled sweetly: "Really? Brother is the best! Tonight we have roast duck to eat... Mmm... it smells so good. By the way, brother, guess what I brought for you today?"

  "What?" Xiao Yu asked, looking at Xiaoyu's lively appearance, Xiao Yu's mood improved a bit.

  "Heh heh... The Cosmic Invincible Super Game Helmet, enter the stage." Xiaoyu pulled out a light blue game helmet from her bulging backpack. This game helmet was similar to a safety helmet, but its structure was more intricate, covered with precise electronic instruments.

  An ordinary gaming helmet costs 10,000 yuan, where did Xiaoyu get so much money? Seeing the gaming helmet, Xiao Yu's face sank, and he asked in a low voice: "Where did this come from?"

  "Brother, you need to apologize. You actually suspected that your sister's gaming headset came from an illegitimate source. Xiao Yu is very angry and the consequences will be severe." Xiao Yu stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Xiao Yu.

  For Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu had no way out. Xiao Yu nodded reluctantly: "Alright, brother apologizes, now can you finally tell me where this game helmet came from?"

  "This is a game company that came to our school to promote, and gave one to each student. This is a novice gaming helmet, it can only be tried for a month, after a month you have to return the gaming helmet." Xiaoyu took the gaming helmet and swung it around, proudly saying with a raised face.

  This company is really omnipresent, this is also a marketing strategy, try playing for a month, and then who can still return the game headset after trying it out for a month? Won't they have to buy it obediently?

  Being a professional player, this idea has been lingering in Xiao Yu's mind, does he have that talent? But thinking of the current situation, Xiao Yu let out a sigh, is there another way for him?

  Looking at Xiao Yu's expression, Xiaoyu knew what was on his mind. Being a professional player is better than being that guy, bro, I believe you can do it.

  "In recognition of Xiao Yu's excellent performance in taking care of his family, we hereby award Comrade Xiao Yu a gaming headset to encourage him. We hope that Comrade Xiao Yu will continue to work hard and make further progress." Xiaoyu stuffed the gaming headset into Xiao Yu's arms.

  "What about you?" Xiao Yu asked.

  "Comrade Xiaoyu must study hard, strive for progress every day, and become an outstanding successor to socialism." Xiaoyu smiled and said.

  Looking at Xiao Yu's adorable appearance, Xiao Yu Er smiled and pinched Xiao Yu's nose.

  "Bad brother, you're pinching my nose again, my nose is almost pinched off!" Xiaoyu pouted and said discontentedly, but she actually liked Xiao Yu's intimate actions from the bottom of her heart. This was one of Xiao Yu's habitual actions, and even if he wanted to change it, he probably couldn't.

  Xiao Yu glanced at the light blue gaming helmet in his arms, and his emotions surged. Was this fate?

  Night falls.

  Xiao Yu lay in bed, but he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

  The little rain lying beside Xiao Yu suddenly turned over and faced Xiao Yu.

  "What's wrong, go to bed early, you still have class tomorrow." Xiao Yu said, looking down at Xiaoyu.

  Xiaoyu pouted, and to Shaoyi's surprise, there were tears in her eyes. She burrowed into his arms and said, "Brother, I saw Wu Dama today. You got into another fight, didn't you?"

  Xiao Yu opened his mouth but didn't say anything. From a young age, the number of times he had returned home injured was too many to count.

  Xiao Yu let out a soft sigh and suddenly found himself with a bulge in front of his chest.

  "You silly girl, your tears have soaked through my clothes." Xiao Yu Lian lovingly pinched Xiaoyu's ear.

  "You deserved it, who told you to fight all day." Xiaoyu pulled up Xiao Yu's clothes, wiped her tears vigorously, and then proudly raised her small face.

  "This lass..." Xiao Yu cried and laughed at the same time, "Alright, brother won't fight anymore, okay?"

  "Hmph... you've said that countless times already." Xiaoyu quieted down and lay down beside Xiao Yu, placing her small hand on his arm.

  Looking at Xiaoyu's pale face, Xiao Yu thought of the hardships he had endured over the years and said with self-blame and guilt: "Xiaoyu, brother owes you an apology, brother is useless."

  A string of crystal tears fell from Xiaoyu's face, and she turned around, muttering softly: "Xiaoyu is asleep, Xiaoyu didn't hear. Bad brother, tricked Xiaoyu into crying again."

  Two days before the game's opening, Xiao Yu put on his gaming helmet. This gaming helmet is not only for playing games but also a ready-made computer. Xiao Yu wants to make use of this time to understand as much information related to the game as possible so that he can be prepared when the game is released.

  He put on his helmet and a holographic computer screen appeared in front of him. This thing was something Xiao Yu had experienced before at a computer store.

  Xiao Yu searched for the legend of Enze's on the internet, and immediately hundreds of billions of search results appeared. Xiao Yu clicked on some more important ones to take a look, but surprisingly, there was no game content related to "Enze's Legend" at all, mostly just players' speculations about it. The Tianxia company really kept their mouths shut tight, not even a hint was leaked.

  When it comes to playing games, Xiao Yu can be said to be a complete novice. In the past, he had only seen others play and was lucky that current games are all virtual and do not have complicated operations, so they can be learned quickly.

  Since there's no legend about Enzes, let's make up for it by studying knowledge related to the game instead. Xiao Yu thought to himself as he frantically browsed through various online resources and watched classic battle videos related to online gaming.

  After putting on the helmet, the brain will be in a state of sleep, and there is no need to worry about insufficient rest. Xiao Yu was like a starving person devouring knowledge related to the internet and games.

  For two whole days, Xiao Yu did not leave the game. In his heart, he kept reminding himself that he was not here to play, but to become a professional player! To become a professional player, one had to have much higher standards than ordinary players, and put in several times more effort than ordinary players. One's performance in the game also had to be at least better than that of ordinary players.

  March 25th, he took a glance at the time, it was 7:55 PM, there were still five minutes before the game started, Xiao Yu took a deep breath.

  Time quietly slipped away, and a dazzling white light appeared in front of Xiao Yu's eyes. It had begun, and Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable excitement.

  "It is said that in the distant Chaos Era, the Founding God Volkhid created this continent and named it Enzes, which means Paradise in the language of the gods. The continent of Enzes became a paradise for all kinds of intelligent life, where countless heroic epics were staged..."

  The new book is still hot, eager eyes are waiting, asking for votes to rush up the charts...
