Chapter 437 Summoning Human Players - Li Qi's Choice

The Golden Brick Building in another world, the first floor of this building is a luxurious banquet hall.

Today, the banquet hall is crowded and bustling. The dazzling crystal chandeliers emit soft light, and the floor is covered with gorgeous carpets, which are soft and comfortable to walk on. The walls are covered with priceless art paintings and precious decorations.

A giant Save the Mermaid game poster was hung high at the entrance of the banquet hall. The poster was well-made and colorful. A special golden signing pen was already prepared under the poster. Many well-known celebrity players signed on it and took photos as a souvenir.

This one-year anniversary dinner for the game may be the only one that the game company did not host but was hosted by the Chinese government because China wanted the world to know that this is really just a game that is operated by a game company.

Famous players from all over the world flock here, making it extremely lively.

Zhao Xinran and Li Qi are players that have attracted worldwide attention. They have both achieved fame and fortune with this game, so they love and appreciate this game from the bottom of their hearts. When Zhao Xinran received the invitation letter from the game company, she asked Li Qi and was told that he could not go. She didn't understand and tried to persuade him, but her friend insisted, so Zhao Xinran finally went alone.

Li Qi sat in the sun with her pale face. Her adoptive mother Lin Meixin brought some fruit, sat beside her and patted her shoulder gently.

"Mom, didn't you go dancing with them today?"

"You didn't go to the game party. Mom was afraid you would be sad, so she stayed at home with you."

Li Qi leaned lightly on her adoptive mother's side. When she was little, she didn't know she was an adoptive mother. She enjoyed the joy and happiness of being a daughter wantonly, until the look in her adoptive father's eyes looked more and more wrong. She began to feel awkward and uneasy, until finally her adoptive father stretched out his devilish hand, and her adoptive mother grabbed that hand and protected herself behind her. She also thought that her father was not her father, but her mother was her mother. The result is often different from expectations, and her mother is not her mother either.

"Mom, thank you for taking care of me all these years."

Lin Meixin touched her daughter's hair with some guilt. Even though she was not her biological daughter, the daughter she had raised from childhood was no different from her biological daughter. With tears in her eyes, she said:

"Don't say thank you. Mommy is sorry for you. I named you Li Qi because I hope to have a biological child."

Hot tears fell from Li Qi's eyes. She did not wipe them away, but smiled and said:

"Mom, I understand. If it were me, I wouldn't do better than you. Who doesn't want to have their own children? But you've been really good to me over the years. You're my biological mother, that's all. It's a pity that I can't be with you until old age. But I have saved a lot of money. When I'm gone, don't be reluctant to spend it. You should spend it all. That's my filial piety to you."

Lin Meixin hugged her daughter tightly, her heart aching, and she could only comfort her, "Medical care is very advanced nowadays. Let's go to a hospital in Beijing to have a look. Maybe there is hope."

Li Qi shook her head slowly, her eyes revealing deep despair and helplessness. She knew that she had reached the end of her life. Despite the continuous development and progress of modern medicine, it was too late for her. Cancer cells had already spread quietly, ruthlessly eroding multiple organs in her body.

Li Qi has heard that worries and sorrows are like fertile soil that nourishes diseases, while happiness and joy are like panaceas that cure diseases and promote the body to produce antibodies. Looking back on her life, Li Qi found that pain was always with her, occupying most of her life, while happiness was like a fleeting meteor that was fleeting. Perhaps it was because of this imbalance that she suffered such a heavy and irreversible illness.

"Mom, forget it, let it be. It's better to die easily than to live in pain."

Although Lin Meixin knew very well that one day she would have to face the cruel reality of her daughter's departure, when that moment really approached, her body trembled involuntarily, and her heart was filled with sorrow and pain like a tide. Her heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the pain almost suffocated her.

Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision, but Lin Meixin couldn't let her daughter see her so vulnerable. She was afraid that her daughter would die with worry and resentment. No matter how hard she tried to restrain herself, the deep fear and despair still hit her mental defenses like waves in a storm.

"Mom, I'd better go play the game. I'm in pain all over now."

"Hey, come on, mom will help you."

The holographic game cabin cannot relieve pain, but the mermaid rescue game extracts people's souls, so naturally there is no pain.

Lin Meixin sat next to the game cabin and waited quietly. The only sound in the empty room was the occasional sound of the machine. She imagined the loneliness she would have in the future and what would happen to her daughter. Finally, tears welled up in her eyes. She rested her head on her legs and hugged herself, letting the tears flow wildly, filling the room with sadness.

The Mermaid Game was unusually empty at this moment, as many players went online to watch the live broadcast of the one-year anniversary party and the celebrity performances.

The strong body and healthy feeling made Li Qi sigh comfortably. Unconsciously, she arrived at the underwater world of the mermaid tribe. Few players came here. She had been here a few times only because she was a mermaid. But now there are not many mermaids here. It is said that they have all moved to the tribe leader's mansion.

Li Qi sat on the shell left here by the mermaid tribe, pretending that he was a mermaid, with a healthy body, family-like tribesmen, and powerful strength.

Zhou Leng saw the atmosphere of sadness and despair spreading on the seabed, and she quickly came to Li Qi's side.

Li Qi was surprised and stood up and performed the mermaid ceremony, then said respectfully: "Chief, I didn't know you were in the tribe, sorry to bother you."

Zhou Leng just looked directly into the other person's eyes, examining the other person's pure soul.

"Li Qi!"

"Ah! Chief, you..."

Li Qi was a little confused when his real name was called.

"You have good talents and a strong character. You have gone through hardships but have never fallen. You will definitely grow into a strong person in the future. So are you willing to become a member of my tribe? Come to our world and become a mermaid. From now on, you will be separated from the world you live in. Here you will be reborn. There are two conditions. First, you must always be loyal to the mermaid tribe. Second, you must not reveal to other players that this is a real world. You will become an NPC like us in the future."

Li Qi was completely stunned and couldn't react for a long time. Her mind was in a mess. To her, all this was like the explosion of the universe, the destruction of the earth, and her resurrection from the dead.

"The real world! The real world! Then my mother, my mother..."

"I see that you have good talent and character, so I'll give you a chance. Are you willing to come to my world?"

Li Qi's eyes were filled with tears. She nodded firmly and said, "I swear to be loyal to the Mermaid Tribe until death, to be loyal to the tribe leader forever, to remember my identity, and to keep the secrets here."

Zhou Leng nodded with satisfaction. She stretched out her hand and waved it in the air. A ray of light connected to Li Qi was cut off, and her soul could never go back.

Li Qi's bone necklace floated up, and from then on no player could get it, except the NPC mermaid Li Qi.
