Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Copy World Character: Restaurant Boss (Please Favorite, Follow, and Vote for the Monthly Ticket)

From the way Zhang Ansha behaved when he met Liu Zhengyun, it’s very likely that Liu Zhengyun is also from the Research Institute, and holds a not insignificant position within it.

Therefore, the two options he provided are quite interesting.

First, the villa; although according to Liu Nan the villa isn’t very practical, it’s clear that Liu Zhengyun is quite fond of it, otherwise he wouldn’t stay there every time he visits Xidu.

The fact that he is willing to offer something he loves as a thank-you gift to He Ao for saving Liu Nan twice proves how much he values this ’thank you gift’.

Otherwise, for something else worth over twenty million, he certainly has more than one; there’s no need to give away something he likes.

This can be seen from the second option he offered. It’s quite obvious that access to the relic is limited, and the slots are probably few, otherwise Liu Zhengyun wouldn’t have emphasized that he only has one slot left.

When truly compared, the chance to gain Transcendent strength from a relic slot, which is extremely rare, is definitely worth far more than a twenty-million-plus villa, and is priceless.

After all, with strength, wealth is just a matter of time, but wealth can’t necessarily buy the opportunity to enhance one’s strength.

However, the relic has one problem: death is a possibility.

Everyone views death differently; some people might do anything to stay alive, while others may not care at all about their own life for the sake of other things.

Rather than calling it a choice, it’s more like a test set by Liu Zhengyun; he wants to see what kind of person He Ao really is.

To choose the villa is to opt for a safe and comfortable life; to choose the relic is to be willing to take risks in exchange for greater benefits.

But actually, the decision He Ao would make had already been communicated to Liu Zhengyun the first time they met.

’Danger and opportunity always come hand in hand.’

Life is but a chip to be placed on the gambling table.

He Ao lifted his head, looked at Liu Zhengyun, and said softly, "Uncle, I can’t make a decision right now."

Liu Zhengyun watched He Ao, his answer somewhat beyond expectation. Initially, he thought He Ao would choose the relic without hesitation. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and said,

"That’s fine, you can think it over. Just reply to me by tomorrow noon."

"All right, thank you, Uncle."

He Ao said softly, expressing his gratitude.

----

"So, what choice will you make?"

On the small boat leaving the villa, Liu Nan propped her face with her hand and looked at He Ao with curiosity.

"What do you think I will choose?"

He Ao asked her with a smile.

"I thought you would choose the relic without any hesitation,"

Liu Nan rested her hands on the seat, leaning lightly against the boat’s side as the flowing evening breeze lifted the locks of hair at her temples. She turned her head to look toward the bow, gazing at the tranquil lake surface under the moonlight, "If it were me, I’d probably choose the relic."

"So, you now qualify for the relic?"

He Ao watched the girl’s side profile and asked softly.

"No," Liu Nan shook her head slightly, "Those who enter the relics are handpicked, and my dad doesn’t think I’m currently worth that kind of investment."

She turned her head, smiling at He Ao, "Although my dad indulges me a lot in our family life, when it comes to matters of principle, he won’t show favoritism. He didn’t even tell me anything about the Transcendent world until I awakened my Talent the night before last.

He has always been like this, seemingly gentle and approachable, yet decisive and stubborn in certain aspects."

"But you don’t seem worried?"

He Ao asked with a smile.

It seemed like Liu Nan still really wanted to enter the relic.

"Solving this problem is easy," Liu Nan tilted her head slightly, "just prove that he’s wrong, and that’s it. There are other ways to obtain a relic slot—not only from him."

Just like that night she argued with her father over the phone all night, and finally managed to stay in Xidu by awakening her Talent.

Being underestimated isn’t a big deal; it’s enough to prove them wrong.

He Ao looked at the girl before him; father and daughter were actually very alike, for instance, both were very stubborn.

At that moment, Liu Nan suddenly stopped speaking as if realizing something, staring blankly at He Ao, then she broke into a smile,

"I get it, you’re a bit greedy, aren’t you?"

"So, are you willing to help me?"

He Ao shrugged his shoulders.

Just then, the boat reached the shore and Liu Nan slowly stood up, "We have only a dozen hours left until noon tomorrow. Can you make it?"

"You should say, we still have a dozen hours until noon tomorrow."

He Ao said with a smile as he got up, and they both disembarked from the boat.

"Then I want a reward,"

Liu Nan stopped, lifted her head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, the pure moonlight casting a dreamy and hazy glow on the slender and tall figure of the girl.

She turned back, her soft hair dancing in the moonlight, the corners of the girl’s mouth turning up, revealing a faint smile, "After the deal is done, you’re going to take me out for a meal."

"It’s a deal."

He Ao stood behind her and said with a gentle laugh.

Just as Liu Nan said, Liu Zhengyun’s place wasn’t the only one where one could get a quota to enter the ruins.

He had prepared to probe for information from Zhang Ansha, but now it seemed unnecessary.

If there was a chance to achieve both goals, why not take the risk?

I desire the fish as much as the bear’s paw, both simmered in one pot.

——

At 11:57 PM, He Ao returned home.

He almost ran back, considering it would be awkward to vanish into the Copy World while walking on the street.

After closing the door, washing his hands, and calming his mood, He Ao sat in the study’s chair, quietly watching as the countdown in his field of vision gradually hit zero.

[Welcome to the Life Copy Game]

[Matching you with a liferole now.]

[Matching successful]

[Your role is: Roy, the restaurant owner in Eno]

[Have a pleasant game]

It sounded like a normal role.

A thought flashed through He Ao’s mind as his vision started to blur.

New lines of text appeared in his field of vision.

[0 years old: You were born, your parents named you Roy.]

[1 year old: You live in Kwei District. It’s very ordinary, bordering Crown District and Aston District, not as wealthy as Crown District, nor as chaotic as Aston District.]

[2 years old: Your father changed jobs, and your family’s income improved.]

[3 years old: Your mother is planning to move to Crown District]

[4 years old: Your father comes home less and less frequently, and your mother suspects he’s having an affair.]
