Xiang Han had not intended to take his housekeeper along, but just as he was leaving, he accidentally b.u.mped into the other person. Housekeeper Zhang suddenly teared up in the blink of an eye and nagged, “Sir, if you're leaving, at least bring me with you. You're picky with your food and love cleanliness, without me by your side, what if your life becomes hard…”

Xiang Han wanted to knock him out but after hearing this, he immediately reconsidered. Without mentioning his other good points, the food he made was really not too bad.

The two people quickly settled in a small mountain village in the south. It had mountains, rivers and fields. They also had chickens, ducks, and geese.

The housekeeper was extremely dissatisfied. One moment he was complaining about the house being too old, the next he complained about the village children being too noisy and tried to persuade Xiang Han, “Sir, we don't lack any money. Why do we have to live in such a dilapidated village? if you're afraid of that b.a.s.t.a.r.dly white-eyed wolf finding us, we can also go abroad, ah.”

Xiang Han shook his head, “I think it's fine, the house is only a little dirty.” There were plenty of fruits growing on the mountains and a river flowing below. Behind the house was a bamboo grove and a spring beside it, it was peaceful and tranquil, reminding him of the farmhouse he had visited in his previous world.

The housekeeper was silent and found people to build a villa the very next day in order to provide Xiang Han with a comfortable place to stay.

When Zhou Yue Ze learnt that Xiang Han had disappeared, his expression was very calm. His gaze fell onto the doc.u.ment as if he was hearing about some unimportant matters. A moment later, he took the doc.u.ments with trembling hands and stood up under his bodyguard's gaze, walking unsteadily.

When he reached the door, his legs suddenly collapsed and he nearly fell to the ground. The bodyguards hurriedly went forward to help him up but were abruptly pushed away.

In the Jiang Family's villa, all the workers were lined up neatly in a row. Except for its master and housekeeper, everything was as normal.

Zhou Yue Ze stood in Xiang Han's room for a long time before he finally asked hoa.r.s.ely, “When did you discover it?”

“After that time you scolded us, we stayed further away. We only just found out this morning,” The bodyguard quickly looked down, afraid of angering him further.

Zhou Yue Ze's expression was gloomy then he let out a bitter laugh and waved his hands, “You can go now. Let the rest go too.”

Saying this, he staggered over to the bed and lightly touched the sheets. Thinking back to the lingering pa.s.sion of that night, he could not help laughing. But after he laughed, his heart only felt emptiness and suffocation.

He carefully laid down, wrapping the blanket around his body and inhaling deeply. It was somewhat satisfying, but the corners of his eyes gradually grew wet.

The bodyguard saw his wretched state and was a little fearful but he hardened his scalp and asked, “CEO Jiang, do we search?”

Zhou Yue Ze was silent as if he had fallen asleep. The bodyguard stood there for a while before leaving quietly.

Xiang Han had been staying in the village for a few days before he finally sobered up and called for Big A. [That's not right, ah. Isn't this a game? Why do I need to bring you all around to look at something that you've created?]

Big A: [Cough, Mr. Xiang...]

[I want to hear the truth.] Xiang Han steeled his expression, feeling that he had been fooled again.

[That… Mr. Xiang, we really didn't lie to you this time. We truly need your help to study the cultivation pattern of the paddy fields. There's a reason for this, but it's complicated…] Big A's tone suddenly became cautious.

Xiang Han felt that his tone was weird and his doubts grew. [Take your time to explain.] Since he has a lot of time anyway.

Big A was clearly hesitant but Little B encouraged him, [Let's tell him. It's already been two worlds.]

Big A thought for a bit and spoke, [I need to consult the Senior Marshal first.]

Saying this, he went offline. When Xiang Han heard those words, he grew increasingly suspicious.

Senior Marshal? In the federation, there were only three people who could be called a Senior Marshal and every one of them were incredibly high-ranking officials. He suddenly had an inkling that this gaming company was not simple. The so-called military backing was actually a lot stronger than he had thought.

Big A's departure for a few minutes meant a few days for Xiang Han. When he came back, Big A's tone carried a hint of severity, [Mr. Xiang, please come into the simulation s.p.a.ce, I'll explain everything to you.]

Xiang Han quickly entered the simulation s.p.a.ce. Apart from Big A, Little B and the mech-looking System, there was the virtual projection of another white-haired man.

Xiang Han was startled, feeling that this old man looked a little familiar. Looking carefully, he quickly recognised the other person. He was Marshal Pulan who frequently appeared on the federation's news.

The senior marshal smiled at him warmly, completely unlike the serious expression he usually had when he appeared on the news and quickly greeted him, “Child, quickly come here.”

Big A and Little B stood at the side, their expressions tense while Xiang Han cautiously walked over. Seeing such an important figure for the first time, he was nervous.

Through the Marshal's explanation, Xiang Han finally understood the entire story. During an excavation, the military accidentally dug up an ancient sc.r.a.pped artefact. After repairing it, they obtained numerous novels from ancient times.

Although the novels were not a true reflection of the Earth's history, it contained the thoughts and descriptions of the people from that time period. To a certain extent, it can provide the people living in the interstellar world with historical knowledge. In order to learn more, the military used a special device to convert all these data into numerous different worlds so that they could collect more information.

But in order to maintain the balance of those worlds, it required a person to enter those novels and experience the event that happened in the plot. At the start, only high-ranking officers took on these positions and as for why they suddenly found Xiang Han, it was because there was a high ranking officer who was attacked while carrying out the mission. The System that was supposed to connect him was destroyed and his consciousness merged with the world of the novel, unable to return.

Although it was only his consciousness, Xiang Han broke into a cold sweat and asked out of reflex, “There's still such risks?”

Big A quickly explained, “That was because at that time, the technology was not advanced enough and the System was only a normal transmigration System. When this program was first launched, that officer's enemy learnt about this matter and launched an attack on his system, wanting to eliminate them. After the events happened, we immediately ceased the program and upgraded the system into a combat system before we quietly continued to operate as a gaming company. After you joined, Roy and I have been in complete control so that you definitely wouldn't run into any danger.”
