In a conference room.
Everyone was looking at the two people in front.
The entire conference room was silent, only the slight sound of breathing could be heard.
Qin Dongsheng looked at the document Qin Mohan handed him and sat back in his seat.
He slowly flipped through it.
Indeed, creatures that seemed to have no pattern, when integrated, would reveal an outward expansion.
Qin Dongsheng put down the document and looked at Qin Mohan, saying, "What are your thoughts on this matter?"
He looked at his son, a hint of satisfaction flashing across his face.
This was how an imperial heir should be, calm and intelligent.
He could accurately see the essence of things, and the empire would surely prosper under his care.
Qin Mohan, oblivious to his father's expression, lowered his head and browsed the StarNet, meticulously observing the reports from various regions over the past few days.
After seeing something, he looked up and said to them, "This creature doesn't appear to be a local species; it's likely been deliberately introduced."
Qin Dongsheng nodded, deep in thought.
After discussing for a long time, they still hadn't come up with a solution.
Qin Dongsheng, looking tired, sat back in his chair and said, "In that case, let's adjourn. We'll think of a solution next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the conference room silently breathed a sigh of relief. The meeting was finally over.
They then slowly exited.
The last person to leave cast a silent glance inside before gently closing the door.
Only the father and son remained in the exquisitely designed and efficient conference room.
Qin Dongsheng leaned back in his chair, rubbing his eyes to relieve the discomfort of the past few days. A minute later, he looked up and saw his son still there.
A hint of surprise flickered across his face.
After all, his son had never liked spending time here before.
It was probably after that incident that he became so resistant to this place. Why was he here today?
"Why haven't you left yet?" Qin Dongsheng asked Qin Mohan.
Given his son's personality, if he disliked something or a place, he would avoid it as much as possible.
Qin Mohan, still looking at the documents, heard his father's words, looked up, and pushed his glasses up slightly. "I'm organizing the information from the past few days, hoping to eliminate that species as quickly as possible."
Qin Dongsheng, hearing this, stood up, nodded at his son, said "Good job," and left the conference room.
After Qin Dongsheng left, Qin Mohan stopped looking at the StarNet.
He forcefully closed the StarNet and turned to leave the conference room.
He walked out of the conference room quickly, but his steps were unsteady, as if he would fall if he moved any faster.
He didn't know why, but that conference room made him so agitated.
He seemed to detest the enclosed space, the decor, the furnishings, and even the people in it.
Qin Mohan struggled to maintain his balance and finally reached the underground parking lot, found his spacecraft, and stepped inside.
He randomly pressed a button, set the destination to 'Residence' on 'Auto-pilot,' and then lay back in the seat.
Ignoring the pain in his leg, he slowly opened the StarNet and glanced at the time on his watch; it was already three o'clock.
Qin Mohan thought.
He still didn't choose to play a game but entered a livestream.
'Ding'
Tian Tian Zhen Ke Ai entered the livestream.
Lin Hao, who was still fighting monsters, heard this and said gently, "Welcome, big shot, to my stream."
The big shot had finally arrived.
He was almost being bullied to death.
When Lin Hao first started streaming, his fans had been bombarding him with questions about why the big shot hadn't come.
There were even more outlandish theories, such as whether he had quarreled with the big shot and angered her.
How could he possibly quarrel with the big shot? He cherished that girl, let alone bully her.
So, Lin Hao frantically explained in the stream that he hadn't angered the big shot, and she was just busy.
But this bunch of fans was truly difficult to manage.
No matter how he explained, they wouldn't believe him. They were just being stubborn and playful.
This made Lin Hao laugh with exasperation.
Before the big shot arrived, these fans had been complaining for an hour, and they showed no signs of stopping.
This made Lin Hao wonder if they were his fans or the big shot's fans.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: Streamer, did you really do nothing to offend the big shot?
Rogue Brave: No way, right?!!!!
Bear (ー_ー)!!: Yeah, yeah, streamer, just admit it. After observing for the past few days, whenever you go online, the big shot would always invite you to play games on time. Why not today? And you still say you didn't do anything to offend the big shot? Huh?!
Logistics' Lazy Fish: Bro, I'm not trying to be mean, but why are you like this towards the big shot? If you keep this up, don't blame me for not taking your side. What you've done is really not good.
Lin Hao, still fighting the boss, suddenly saw this message and froze in place, forgetting about the enraged boss for a moment.
Bro, what did I do?
You make it sound like I actually did something.
And really, what did I do?
He truly hadn't done anything to the big shot.
Please don't slander him.
He is truly innocent!
Just as Lin Hao was about to retort, the monster kicked his character into a tree.
Seeing this, Lin Hao quickly healed himself.
At this moment, seeing the familiar ID come online, he was filled with tears of joy.
Wuwuwuwu, big shot, you're finally here.
If you hadn't come any sooner, he would have become a murderer.
The reason they would give? "The tragedy caused by not playing with the big shot today."
Tian Tian Zhen Ke Ai: I had something to do today.
Lin Hao was happier seeing this sentence than seeing money.
This was the big shot's explanation to him, didn't you see?
He hadn't angered the big shot.
The big shot was just busy and didn't have time to play games.
Give me back my innocence, please!
Helpless (╯\_╰)╭: So the big shot really had something to do, and the streamer didn't lie.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: So it's true she had something to do. I misunderstood you, streamer.
Bunny Likes Spicy: Misunderstood, streamer.
Bear (ー_ー)!!: Misunderstood, streamer.
Flowers and Grass: Misunderstood, streamer.
I Like Riding Bikes: I'm sorry, streamer. But if you dare to bully the big shot, I'll send you blades.
Lin Hao looked at the fans who were apologizing with a hint of relief. It was fine as long as the misunderstanding was cleared up.
However, seeing the last sentence, his heart skipped a beat again.
He really didn't dare to do anything to the big shot.
Please stop threatening and enticing him.
Didn't we agree to be each other's little angels? Why have you suddenly switched your protector?
Just two days ago, you were calling him your little sweetie.
Now you're threatening him with blades.
Alright, he wouldn't say anything more.
He had seen through these fans; they just liked the cute girl who was the big shot.
They didn't fancy him, a young and energetic handsome boy anymore.
He understood, he understood it all.
Go with that person.
Lin Hao instantly restored his character's health to full, but as soon as he stood up, he saw that the monster's health was also full again.
Alas, fighting this monster was in vain.
Tian Tian Zhen Ke Ai: When you play games, inject a little mental energy, and you'll get unexpected results.
Qin Mohan, sitting in his spacecraft, ignored the comments in the livestream. Hearing Lin Hao's slight sigh, he seemed to understand his mood and left a message in the livestream.
Lin Hao, who was still regretting why he had suddenly flown away, was about to decide whether to fight the monster again when he suddenly saw the big shot's message.
Inject his mental energy into the game?
Can this game withstand mental energy now?
Has it become so advanced all of a sudden?
Lin Hao was still hesitant to reveal his mental energy, as many people were aware of his mental energy fluctuations.
He didn't want any further interaction with those people anymore.
He had lived enough of his past life.
"I won't fight this monster anymore. I'll fight it later." Lin Hao eventually refused the big shot's suggestion and was teleported out of the instance.
He walked along the seaside in the game.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: Why does the streamer suddenly seem unhappy?
Salesperson: I feel the same way. The streamer's mood suddenly turned sour. Was it because what we said earlier was too much?
Bear (ー_ー)!!: I'm sorry, streamer. I won't make such jokes anymore. Please don't be angry.
Flowers and Grass: I won't make them anymore either. Streamer, please don't be angry.
Logistics' Lazy Fish: Bro, I'm sorry, really sorry.
A string of apologies quickly flooded the livestream.
Only Qin Mohan, lying on the chair, knew that this streamer was avoiding something.
He seemed to dislike revealing his mental energy easily.
He seemed to not want anyone to know about his mental energy.
What are you truly avoiding?
What is it?
Or is it someone?
Thinking of this, Qin Mohan took off his glasses and stared intently at the StarNet.
He was very curious about what his mental energy would be like.
Or what it would taste like.
His eyes were filled with great interest and an unyielding desire.
Lin Hao was still wondering which instance to tackle next when he saw the livestream flooded with "I'm sorry." He was completely bewildered.
After scrolling through the chat history, he realized that his fans were once again concocting some dramatic emotional story.
Seeing this, he felt that it was a great loss to the novel industry that his fans weren't writing novels.
He was simply thinking about where to go for the next instance, taking a walk by the sea, and it was interpreted as being rendered speechless by their harsh words.
This stark contrast made him want to laugh and cry. Lin Hao explained, "I'm not angry. I was just thinking about where to go for the next instance. How can your imaginations be so rich? Are you all novelists?"
Towards the end, Lin Hao couldn't help but tease his fans.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: You're not angry, then that's good, that's good. Huh? How did the streamer know I'm a novelist? That's amazing.
Bear (ー_ー)!!: Huh? Coincidentally, I'm also a novelist.
Flowers and Grass: I started a new book yesterday called "My Trashy Little Streamer." You can check it out. It can be considered fanfiction, hehe, you know what I mean.
Bai Bai Likes Hehe: Damn, big shot, you wrote the CP I shipped into a novel? Wow, what a divine author.
Bicycle Rider: Added to bookshelf.
Hair Down to My Waist: Added to bookshelf.
Logistics' Lazy Fish: Big shot, I salute you.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: Sister, let's follow each other.
Lin Hao hadn't expected that a casual remark of his would uncover so many authors. He wondered why they weren't updating their work at this hour.
And why were they still watching his stream?
What's more, there was fanfiction?!!
He didn't understand.
"Do you know about that unknown creature recently?" Lin Hao asked the NPC, chatting casually with his fans about this matter.
He hadn't forgotten the original purpose of his stream.
His goal now was to find the mother body of this creature and seal the species.
I Will Always Love My Crown Prince: Unknown creature? You mean that vine thing that appeared recently?
Crown Prince, I Want to Have Babies with You: I seem to have heard about this too. It's said to be fearless of everything, even fire, which plants fear. It's so scary.
Skateboard: I'm in the Federation, and it seems to have appeared here too. The whole Federation is in a panic, and nobody is working properly anymore.
Flowers and Grass: The person upstairs is just slacking off at work, hehe (º﹃º).
Bunny Likes Spicy: I'm on a remote planet, and there's no news of this species yet, but I don't know if it will be safe in the future.
Super Invincible Fierce Fire-Breathing Tyrannosaurus Warrior: Currently, the 'Red Flower' base is still safe.
Pink and Chubby: Damn, is the person upstairs a pirate?
Lin Hao scanned their messages but still couldn't find any information about the mother body.
Indeed, these commoners didn't realize the severity of the situation.
"Oh, okay. I only know what you know. I wanted to know other things." Lin Hao said to them with some regret.
However, he ultimately didn't accept the NPC's quest. It was too tiring; even talking to him was exhausting, and he had to help him protect the manor?
Forget it.
Mini-theater:
Qin Mohan: You run too fast, I'm going to fall, (oops, pretend to fall)
Lin Hao suddenly appeared and helped Qin Mohan up, saying, "If you can't run, don't. You're like a child, always falling." (Disdainfully)
Qin Mohan: Wuwuwuwu, but I want to play with you. (Hugging Lin Hao, a smile flickering at the corner of his mouth)
Softened heart.
Lin Hao: Hmph hmph (patting Qin Mohan's back, gently comforting him)
Truly delicate.
Sunflower Seeds: Hahaha, my son is so good at pretending to be weak.
Qin Mohan: Basic skill, Dad.
