The Weird Life Game: Starting as a Department Head

Chapter 6 Low Investment, High Returns

Xu Hang turned on the bedroom light; he felt the mysterious message was too glaring in the darkness.

Was the other person just a classmate playing a prank, or was he the forty-ninth person to sneak into the class?

Xu Hang was unsure.

After much deliberation, he decided to try diplomacy first, followed by force.

"Hello, I'm your father."

Ding!

The other party replied to the message instantly, as if they were waiting for him inside the screen.

"Okay, Dad, would you like me to be a boy or a girl?"

Damn it, shameless bastard.

Xu Hang sat up and replied:

"If you've got guts, stop hiding your true identity. Who are you?"

"Dad, who do I look like?"

With a click, the other party sent a photo.

The photo is a selfie, but it doesn't show the face.

The person taking the photo is lying in bed in dim lighting.

She was naked, and the slender branches bore large fruits, the lower half of which were covered by a thin blanket.

Xu Hang gasped, trying to calm himself down.

He immediately began to recall the female classmates' figures to try and find her.

"Send more, send more complete messages, so I can find you out. Do you think you can hide?"

Luo Yingchen was transformed at the very beginning of the game, it's impossible for it to be that fast, you did it, didn't you?

You murderer!

I don't know if the game has changed the character models, but there were only a few pretty girls in the class before, but after five years of physical age, they are all considered beauties.

There are at least ten people with this body type, even after a simple screening.

"That's right, I'm the one who transformed Luo Yingchen, and only I can do it. Dad, do you want to avenge him?"

The curse only brought him bad luck; his intention to drag you down with him is entirely his own.

Such a person will surely betray you in the future, so I've already shielded you from potential dangers.

While Xu Hang was pondering, messages from the mysterious person kept coming in.

She honestly admitted that she was the forty-ninth person.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"I'm just an ordinary girl who likes watching TV dramas. Dad, let's play a game."

Find me before the first version of the game ends, which is before the end of this year.

Don't worry, it won't be difficult. I'll give you plenty of clues.

Seeing that the other party had issued a challenge to him, Xu Hang did not rush to accept:

"Since it's a game, what are the rewards and punishments?"

"As for the reward, I can grant you one wish. The punishment is also very simple. Don't worry, I won't harm you."

Our grandfather lives in... right?

Xu Hang stared at his parents' address, his pupils dilating in shock.

"You bastard, what are you doing?!"

"If you still haven't found me by the time this version is finished, I'll send our grandparents to heaven on New Year's Day!"

"Fuck you!"

"Seeing how well you and your mother get along, I'm relieved. See you later."

Xu Hang wanted to smash the screen with his fingers, but the screen suddenly flickered the next moment.

The message from the forty-ninth person disappeared, as if it had never existed.

But the cold sweat on his forehead told him that what he had just experienced was not a hallucination.

He almost had a sleepless night.

When Xu Hang woke up the next day, he glanced at the time.

June 15th.

He thought that there was still half a year left, and he already had some leads.

However, the situation cannot be described as optimistic.

The event could cause a time jump.

The period from when he met Luo Yingchen to the funeral was skipped over, with about three days in between.

If this kind of time leap is the norm, then it's hard to say how much usable time we have left.

Xu Hang took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Ding.

I had just gotten out of bed when my phone rang.

The hunt has begun. Target: Lu Tingxue.

Xu Hang breathed a sigh of relief.

After the version update, Lu Tingxue became almost a main storyline boss, so the Black and White Group's actions were not surprising.

Later, Xu Hang and Su Wanqing met in the living room after washing up and had some milk and whole wheat bread.

At the dinner table, Su Wanqing asked Xu Hang for his opinion on the hunting incident.

"Luo Yingchen's story is a tragedy, and I don't want it to happen again."

Xu Hang stated his position directly:

"How much help I can provide depends on how much overlap I can have with Lu Tingxue's life."

Before helping others, we must protect ourselves and our families.

"Um."

Su Wanqing seemed lost in thought or preoccupied, and after a brief reply, she remained silent.

After breakfast, the two went to their respective jobs.

This time, the game transition didn't happen, and Xu Hang suspected it was a bug that had been forgotten to be fixed.

There is a car registered under Su Wanqing's name, but neither of them drives it; one chooses to take the bus, and the other chooses to take a taxi.

I have a driver's license, and I also have muscle memory for driving.

However, the only memory the two of them had of taking the driving test was that they passed their driving test.

The five years of rapid progress have resulted in too many missing memories.

A moment later, Xu Hang walked into the credit office of Warm Winter Bank, where his colleagues waved to him.

"Good morning, Brother Xu."

Good morning, supervisor.

"Uh-huh."

Each face gave Xu Hang a feeling of both familiarity and unfamiliarity; he needed to think carefully to recall any information.

Xu Hang was a little worried that before the black and white groups even began to hunt him down, he would be fired for not being able to handle the work.

"Manager, the bank manager wants you to come to his office. He wants you to put down all your work as soon as possible."

Just then, a call from outside the door made Xu Hang breathe a sigh of relief.

He doesn't even know what kind of work he's supposed to do, let alone the work he has at hand.

"I'm coming right now."

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Hang learned about the situation in the leader's office.

"That's how it is. No matter how you look at the store's surveillance footage, you can't say that you did anything wrong."

However, death is a serious matter, and the family's constant disturbances have already caused a very negative impact. We have no choice but to back down and give an explanation.

We'll announce publicly that you've been suspended from your duties pending investigation. Do you accept this outcome?

The middle-aged man behind the desk announced the outcome of the investigation into Xu Hang.

"I'll follow the leader's arrangements, but it's not good to be idle. I can be transferred to another department to help out."

Xu Hang accepted the arrangement, but then made his own requests.

He believes in his innocence, but he worries about the potential consequences of this semi-unemployment.

After hearing Xu Hang's words, the middle-aged leader pondered for a moment and asked:

"It's good that young people are energetic. Which department would you like to join?"

"Since the company's image has been damaged because of me, I will go and make up for it."

Xu Hang expressed his thoughts:

"We are a privately owned commercial bank, and our image is very important."

Having a stable partnership with an artist makes many promotional efforts much easier.

There's an artist under Qingwu Media who's been receiving very positive internal reviews lately; she's an old classmate of mine, named Lu Tingxue.

Upon hearing Xu Hang's words, the middle-aged leader frowned:

"I know Qingwu Media, but I've never heard of the person you're talking about."

"Credit is also a form of investment, and the best investment is naturally one with low input, low risk, and high return."

Xu Hang said confidently:

"I know her; it won't be long before she proves herself."

"Since you think so highly of her, fine, go talk to her and see if we can reach some long-term cooperation."

After speaking, the middle-aged leader made a promise:

"If this is done, those anonymous letters reporting you, and those good colleagues behind those anonymous letters, will be dealt with."

I've taken care of it for you.
