Chapter 68 Chapter67-Accepting the Interview
The little girl sat up in bed, looking up at her father curiously. "Dad, when we find the big brother, how do you plan on thanking him?" she asked.
Benjamin Taylor, looking at his daughter with a smile, replied, "He saved my precious baby girl. Of course, I have to thank him properly... I've decided to give him one of the best villas in our city. What do you think?"
The little girl pouted, shaking her head, "Not enough, not enough. Is my life only worth a house?"
Benjamin Taylor laughed, adding, "How about I give him a car, too? You really liked that new sports car I just bought, right? It's one of only ten in the world, I'll give it to him."
The little girl pondered and still shook her head. "It's still not enough. Without big brother, I wouldn't have a life. I want to thank him, too... I still have the Christmas cash dad gave me last time, I'll give it all to him!"
Her mother was shocked. "That's tens of millions, Mia. You want to give it all to him?"
The little girl nodded, "Yes, I don't have anywhere I need to spend money anyways."
Benjamin Taylor nonchalantly agreed, "Yeah, if Mia likes it, let her do it. It's just ten million. He saved Mia's life, he deserves it."
The girl's mother gave him a glance, "You are so generous. Then don't let your daughter spend her Christmas cash."
Benjamin Taylor laughed, "I never intended for Mia to spend her money. I'll pay for it."
After comforting their daughter for a while, the man left the ward.
At the ward's door, four strong men in suits were standing.
Seeing Benjamin Taylor come out, the lead man hurried up to him, "Boss, is the young lady okay?"
Benjamin Taylor put on his executive face and replied, "She's fine, thanks to the hero... Have you found the person I asked you to search for?"
His subordinate bowed his head, saying, "Not yet, boss."
Frowning, Benjamin Taylor said, "What's going on with you guys? Didn't you brag that it's impossible not to find someone in this city? How come it's so hard to find this person now?"
His subordinate made a bitter face, "Boss, this time we're searching for a benefactor, not causing trouble. We can't use many of our underworld connections... what if we offend our young lady's savior?"
Hearing this, Benjamin Taylor nodded, agreeing, "Then deploy more people to search. There are videos of the savior online. How can it be so hard?"
His subordinate replied, "We can't help it, boss. Those videos aren't clear, and we don't have a clear front face of the savior. It's really too hard to find him with this."
"Do your best. Hire more people if necessary. Money isn't an issue for me," Benjamin Taylor ordered, "You must find this person within three days! Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to my precious daughter."
His subordinate immediately responded, "Yes, boss!"
...
The next day, early in the morning.
John woke up in his bed at home, rubbed his eyes, and found that it was already eight o'clock.
"Wow, that was a really good sleep."
He felt refreshed all over and had seemingly endless energy.
Saving a person in the river yesterday had drained John of much energy, but he didn't expect to recover after just one sleep.
He even felt more energetic than the day before.
This feeling was indeed a bit wonderful.
John didn't even know if he should look forward to the overlapping of the two worlds or not.
With the increase in the overlap, his power has been getting stronger and stronger, until he is on par with the gods.
But at that time, humans will surely face great difficulties.
John certainly wouldn't stand to see monsters wreaking havoc and creatures dying.
He was sitting on the bed in a daze.
Suddenly, he received a message on his phone.
It was from Emma.
Emma: Johnny, can you log in now? My senior sister is waiting for you in the game!
John thought for a moment, then replied: Wait for me ten minutes.
Then he got up, cleaned up casually, and logged into the holographic chamber.
After entering the game, John sent a message to Emma: I'll be waiting for her in the private room on the second floor of the Glorious Bar in Silver City.
Soon, Emma replied: Alright bro, my senior sister is on her way!
John entered the bar, which was quite empty since it was still early.
The night owls had just gone to sleep, and the day players hadn't gotten up yet.
When the NPC bar owner saw John, he greeted him.
John nodded in acknowledgment and asked for a private room on the second floor.
In the private room, John couldn't help but wonder, if the two worlds overlapped, would these so-called "virtual characters" or NPCs become real?
Then the conversation he just had wasn't with a virtual character, but a possibly real person from the future?
John shook his head and cast these weird thoughts out of his mind.
It was too early to think about this, he should focus on enhancing the power of his friends and family.
As long as the people he cares about become stronger before the "Overlap Day" and can protect themselves, he wouldn't have much to worry about.
After sitting for a while, he heard a knock on the door.
John said, "Come in."
Then the door opened.
A girl in a dark green robe with beautiful features and long hair entered.
"Hello, are you... Galewind?"
John nodded and motioned for her to sit and talk, "I am, you're Emma's senior sister?"
At this time, John could clearly see the ID of the person across from him, "Smirk", with the occupation of "Watcher".
Smirk sat down with a smile, "Yes, you can call me Smirk. I'm from the same university as Emma, just graduated this year, and I'm currently in my internship period."
With that, she pulled out a recording disc she had prepared in advance, excitedly saying, "Shall we get straight to the point?"
John replied, "Sure."
He didn't want to waste time.
After this interview, he still had to go find Blue Sea and take them to the Dark Spirit Realm.
Smirk began to ask, "How did you spot the child in the water?"
John replied, "I heard screams from the shore, so I went to check it out."
Smirk continued, "Did you hesitate when you saw the child?"
John replied, "No hesitation, I jumped right in to save him."
With a surprised expression, Smirk asked, "Really? The river was so turbulent, from the records I saw, people nearly drown in that river every year, even those who know how to swim. Facing such danger, you really didn't hesitate at all?"
John frowned, wondering what kind of question this was.
Was he supposed to say that he hesitated?
If it weren't for the fact that Smirk just started working, John really didn't want to deal with her.
"No hesitation, I just jumped in," John repeated, "A person's life couldn't wait for my hesitation."
Smirk seemed to sense the displeasure in John's words and quickly changed the subject, "So, how did you save the person in the water? Do you have any good experiences to share? That way, if someone else encounters a similar situation in the future, the chances of saving someone would be higher."
John thought for a moment, then said seriously, "There's no particular experience to share. If someone encounters a similar situation in the future, if the water is turbulent, don't try to save the person by yourself. Leave it to professionals."
Smirk was surprised by John's answer, she asked incredulously, "Don't you encourage people to save others?"
John responded, "I just don't encourage people to throw their lives away. This kind of thing is too dangerous, jumping in to save someone might very well cost your own life... I just got lucky. In front of natural forces, human effort is insignificant."
Smirk continued, "So, do you regret jumping in to save the child? If you had another chance, would you do it again?"
John replied, "I don't regret it, if given another chance, I'd do it again. But I am me, others are others, I don't encourage others to do the same, my advice remains... leave such dangerous tasks to professionals."n..OvelbIn
