Support is King [Holographic Game]- Chapter 7

Genesis is now undoubtedly the most popular national game, and the player forums are very lively.

Jiang Shi, after opening it, flipped through and clicked on a section called “Casual Chat”—

[Do we have any regulars from District 8 here? Urgent question: How can I increase the favorability of the dancer Aimer? I just wanted to invite her for a drink, but now she calls me a rogue every time she sees me! SOS!]

[Why are the NPCs so brutal nowadays? Today, I got chased and ganged up on for three hours in the Lifuliya region!]

[Who says players and NPCs can’t be in love? This is a sweet and affectionate post between me and my sweetheart. No trolls allowed!]

[I went to the village chief’s house yesterday, and he said I look like his pet Shar Pei dog. Is that considered a personal attack?]

[The Century Cup semi-finals are already underway, and the finals are about to begin! Come on, who will win the championship this year? Place your bets!]

[Welcome to discuss: the best way to clear a spot for a friend in the friend list. [Expert] [Hot]]

Huh?

Jiang Shi inadvertently glanced at a prominently highlighted post and paused just before clicking on the search box.

In the end, he decided to follow his curiosity and clicked into it.

[Original Poster: Let’s start with the background. About an hour ago, didn’t someone post about Yu Weize suddenly having an empty friend spot? I believe many brothers have already tested this, and it’s indeed true.

We all know that these top-tier gods have their own circles, and their friend lists have been full for years. Unless there’s a special reason, they won’t just delete an unimportant character on the spot. But now, Yu Weize’s friend slot has been empty for over an hour. I think there must be some incredible inside story.

If you’re interested, please follow the original poster. We can discuss it here!]

[3L: Hahaha, the original poster is already sounding like a marketer.]

[8L: Do we even need to analyze this? Yu Weize has probably offended quite a few people in the game over the years, and his friend list is probably full of people who can’t stand him anymore.]

[15L: You can’t say that. If they wanted to delete him, they would have done it long ago. Considering the timing, it was probably during a match, right?]

[22L: Naive. Isn’t the point of keeping friends to keep an eye on when this old man is online?]

[23L: Hahaha, the guy above is an old cynic.]

[48L: D*mn, now that you mention the match, it reminds me. Could it be that friends were deleted during the match?]

[62L: After all the analysis in front, we haven’t reached any conclusion. I think it’s just that Yu Weize did something outrageous in today’s match, and other gods finally decided to remove him from their friend lists as a way of venting.]

[186L: Laughing so hard, that last-minute boss steal was really devious. So, it’s possible that the Blood Rose Guild is fed up with him, right?]

[188L: I think it’s very likely. After all, when it comes to today’s match, even thinking about the Blood Rose Guild gives you heart palpitations. In my opinion, removing him from their friend lists is actually mild; not hiring a hitman from the black market is the best-case scenario.]

[226L: Those guys in the previous pages must be joking. Hiring a hitman for Yu Weize? Even if you can afford it, you’d need someone brave enough to take the job!]

[244L: Hahaha, even if we’re off-topic, I have to agree. The hitmen in the black market nowadays are quite protective of their reputation. Taking an impossible job is like tarnishing their brand.]

[333L: Wait a minute, after all this discussion, are we sure that it was really Rechun Miao’s skill that deleted Yu Weize?]

[465L: Be bolder. I think all the top gods of the Blood Rose Guild have probably deleted him!]

[666L: You guys don’t get it; it’s not just the Blood Rose Guild. Several other guilds probably teamed up to remove him!]

[872L: Got it, so Yu Weize must have provoked a lot of anger and been collectively isolated.]

[999L: Conclusion, God Yu is in trouble.]

“Cough.” Jiang Shi looked at it with amazement and rubbed his nose thoughtfully.

Indeed, public opinion always seems to head in unexpected directions.

Considering that he seemed to be the one who started this whole thing, Jiang Shi added a comment to Wei Ze’s post with a clear conscience, and then closed the post, minding his own business.

He once again selected the search box and typed in [Yu Weize] and [San Tingpo]

As expected, a long list of posts popped up instantly, with the most recent replies being from today.

In chronological order, Jiang Shi clicked into those posts, and the content was largely similar.

Post One:

[They say God Yu goes to San Tingpo every year to commemorate lost love. July 7th is approaching again; can I catch him there?]

[Catch him? Yu Weize is a great romantic; he wouldn’t want anyone to disturb him while he commemorates his lost love. They always clear the area in advance.]

[Haha, you guys haven’t heard the rumors? With God Yu at San Tingpo, who knows how many innocent souls are resting in peace behind the scenes.]

Commemorate lost love? Are you sure it’s not just paying respects at a grave?

Post Two:

[Sigh, I really want to know what kind of celestial being can make God Yu so infatuated. I’m so envious; I want to be loved by God Yu even briefly.]

[Loved by Yu Weize? Isn’t living well enough for you?]

[Of course, everywhere you go, you can find both die-hard fans and dedicated haters of God Yu.]

[But haven’t there been photos circulating for the past two years? Those character models, each more stunning than the last!]

[Indeed, each one is more stunning than the last, but none of them look alike. They’re clearly not the same person!]

Jiang Shi couldn’t help but chuckle.

Non-existent characters with photos, that’s truly bizarre.

Post Three:

[I can’t help but spill the beans. In fact, I was also at the scene of the San Tingpo confession day, but at that time, I didn’t know what God Yu was up to. I took some photos on the sly. Although it was a bit far, you can still make out. [Pictures]…[Picture]]

[Oh my god, it left my whole family shocked! Is this how gods confess their love? This is a confession? Clearly, it’s a century wedding!]

[Highlight: that was still during the first season! Where did he get so many synchronized fireworks in the first season? Did he buy out all the firework vendors on the server?]

[I’m envious, looking at God Yu from the back, he even changed into a formal suit? It’s really grand. I really want to know who that lucky person is; it’s what love should look like, the kind I envy.]

Jiang Shi continued to read several more posts in succession. His food delivery, which he had ordered earlier, had arrived.

Jiang Shi stretched and got up to retrieve it but didn’t continue reading.

One could only say that the gossip, based on hearsay, had become increasingly absurd.

The lucky person “blessed” by Yu Weize?

As for this old dog’s attention, do you really want it?

Don’t believe rumors, don’t spread rumors –

His medical examination was scheduled for the following afternoon.

Jiang Shi arrived at the hospital in a new energy sports car belonging to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan had some matters to attend to and couldn’t accompany him. She rolled down the car window and raised her flashy sunglasses to her forehead, hanging one hand out the window as a reminder, “Please follow the doctor’s instructions during the examination. If anything happens, feel free to call me, and I’ll be there in… well, within 15 minutes at most. Of course, it’s best not to need that.”

Jiang Shi smiled understandingly, “Don’t worry, I’ll send your regards to Dr. Han.”

Jiang Yan gave him a sidelong glance, her face blushing inexplicably.

With a final “tch,” she rolled up the window and drove away.

Surprised, Jiang Shi watched the car disappear into the distance and finally rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Seeing that expression just now, Jiang Yan, who was known for her unyielding demeanor, had actually become shy?

It seemed that when you lived long enough, you could see anything.

The top-level city hospital.

The examination center was on the third floor of Building E.

There were quite a few people who came for examinations that afternoon. Jiang Shi, like the others, patiently waited in line. However, his tall figure made him somewhat conspicuous.

A young girl waiting beside him kept glancing at him, and after who knows how many times, she finally mustered up the courage and tugged at her fist as if she had gained some confidence, “Um… hello, are you here for an examination too?”

Jiang Shi politely showed a very gentlemanly smile, “Yes, I had a medical check-up abroad before, and I’ve just returned to the country. My family is worried, so they asked me to come for another check-up.”

“Medical check-up abroad?” The young girl’s face turned red as he smiled at her. She couldn’t help but show a little concern, “What kind of illness is it? Is it serious?”

“It’s not too serious, just a bit difficult to talk about. It’s a… psychiatric issue,” Jiang Shi pointed to his head, “The doctor says I have a little problem here.”

The girl’s expression froze, “…”

Having successfully wrapped up the conversation, Jiang Shi saw that it was about to be his turn, and he got up in a good mood.

As he turned the corner, the doctor in charge of the day was already waiting there.

Clearly having heard the previous conversation, the tall man in a white coat couldn’t help but conceal his smile, “Jiang Shi?”

Jiang Shi also sized him up, “Dr. Han?”

The two exchanged a smile, silently understanding, and walked towards the examination center.

At Jiang Yan’s request, Han Yiyuan was very conscientious throughout the entire examination process.

Finally, the two of them walked into his personal office holding the examination report.

After Han Yiyuan had finished reviewing it, Jiang Shi asked, “Dr. Han, how is it?”

“Your recovery is quite good. If you continue to maintain it, there shouldn’t be any major problems in the future,” Han Yiyuan replied.

“In that case, if I want to engage in some routine virtual cabin activities, should it also be feasible?” Jiang Shi asked.

Han Yiyuan couldn’t help but chuckle, “You want to know if you can play ‘Genesis,’ right? Jiang Yan seems to be quite worried that you might create a situation like the one back then.”

Jiang Shi cleared his throat, “I was just immersed in the global event at the time and didn’t pay much attention, so I spent a bit too long in the virtual cabin.”

Han Yiyuan said, “It’s not just ‘a bit too long,’ is it?”

Jiang Shi shrugged, effectively confirming it.

Due to the somewhat chaotic process, he couldn’t remember the specific details of what had happened back then.

In any case, it was probably because of an event launched by the official “Genesis” that he had practically been immersed in the virtual cabin day and night, and as a result, the excessive load on his nervous system had led to the direct outbreak of an underlying problem.

One could say that he didn’t give himself or his family time to react, as he had essentially fainted right in front of Jiang Yan when he regained consciousness.

Without any warning, it had completely scared his older sister.

It was precisely because he felt somewhat guilty that Jiang Shi had been actively cooperating during the time Jiang Yan was supervising him. This also made his treatment abroad during that period go very smoothly.

However, the premise of cooperation naturally required there to be a purpose for cooperation. In situations like the current one, it seemed like it wouldn’t be a big problem to start making some plans.

Jiang Shi withdrew his thoughts and noticed that the examination report was already ready. He reached out and turned the last page of the document in front of Han Yiyuan, pointing to the blank area below. “In any case, Dr. Han, could you kindly write the diagnosis results from just now word for word in the medical advice section? Especially about the detailed recommendations for the use of virtual cabins; it might be helpful to write them in more detail, otherwise, someone might not be completely at ease.”

Han Yiyuan, faced with Jiang’s straightforward scheming, couldn’t help but smile wryly. “I’ll write it truthfully.”

After carefully writing it down, he handed the document to Jiang. “Actually, Jiang Yan has mentioned many times in front of me that you used to play ‘Genesis‘ quite well. Now that you’re mostly recovered, do you have any interest in becoming a professional player if you have the means?”

Jiang Shi took the document. “A professional player? I haven’t really thought about that.”

Han Yiyuan nodded. “At this stage, you’re still in the later stages of recuperation overall. Although the use of virtual cabins is not a major issue now, there’s still a risk of overloading as a professional player. It’s fine if you don’t have any plans for it.”

He then added after some thought, “If you encounter any problems in ‘The Genesis,’ you can always reach out to me. Maybe I can help.”

Jiang Shi was surprised. “Dr. Han, you play games too?”

“I don’t play,” Han Yiyuan said, “But I have a cousin who’s been a professional player for the past few years. I can’t remember his exact in-game name off the top of my head, but I know he’s had good results. If you need, I can introduce you to each other.”

“I see. Thank you,” Jiang Shi replied politely. “But I don’t think I’ll be able to get into that professional gaming scene.”

Han Yiyuan didn’t insist. “In any case, feel free to contact me at any time.”

After some casual conversation, mostly about Jiang Yan and Han Yiyuan’s acquaintance, they bid farewell. When Jiang Shi left the hospital, it was evident that he was in a good mood. Not only due to the results of the examination today but also because of the favorable impression he had of Han Yiyuan, his future brother-in-law.

With light steps, he held the document bag with even greater care. What he was holding now was not just an ordinary medical report; more precisely, it should be called his “Internet Access Permit.”


Author’s Note:

Han Yiyuan: Want to get to know my cousin?

Jiang Shi: Thanks, not necessary.

Han Yuze: Come on, let your cousin introduce us.

Jiang Shi: ?
