Chapter 70: I Am Immortal
Chapter 70: I Am Immortal
"Would you like something to drink? I have Tieguanyin tea, cola, or plain water."
Su Yu turned his back to Xue Wenli and prepared a drink for this unexpected visitor.
"No, thank you. I don't need anything."
Xue Wenli sat on the sofa, her arms crossed over her long legs, as she surveyed the layout of Su Yu's room.
"Hmm, a typical otaku's home," she concluded quickly.
However, there were three things that seemed off to her:
First, a set of the latest holographic simulation game "Evolution" headsets was placed on the bed, costing thirty thousand yuan! Most people wouldn't splurge on such an expensive item.
Second, there were burn marks on the wall opposite the bed, similar to those caused by welding, but there were no welding tools in the room.
Third, the target was far too calm!
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been panicked and trembling the moment she showed her credentials.
This calm demeanor must mean he has something to rely on!
Xue Wenli's gaze grew more serious as she stared at Su Yu's back.
Su Yu brought two glasses of plain water to Xue Wenli, placing one on the coffee table in front of her.
"Speak up. What brings you here?" Su Yu sat in the chair opposite her.
Xue Wenli's eyes darted, and she took out a small red booklet from her bag, placing it on the coffee table.
"Mr. Su Yu, this is the property deed for this apartment. We've transferred it to your name as a token of our appreciation."
"Oh, so you're trying to buy me off?"
Su Yu sipped his water, looking at the one-bedroom, one-living room apartment that was only about fifty square meters. He fell into deep thought.
Did I lose out big time?
If I had known the authorities would be so generous, I should have rented a luxury apartment.
But there is one good thing: I won't have to pay rent anymore.
"Buying you off is not our intention. We only hope that you will answer a few questions for us, in light of the property deed."
Xue Wenli took out an enlarged photo from her bag and placed it in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at the photo.
It showed the moment he had crashed through the glass and jumped out of the 19th floor of Muyun Tower.
"Sigh! As expected!" Su Yu sighed inwardly.
When he saw the girl taking a photo of him in mid-air, he knew things would get complicated.
He didn't expect that just a few hours later, the authorities would already be onto him.
"Is the person in the photo you?" Xue Wenli stared at Su Yu intently.
"It's me," Su Yu admitted, shrugging.
At this point, there was no point in denying it. A simple comparison with his photo would show that the body type and hairstyle matched perfectly. Better to be honest.
"Can you explain why you were unharmed after jumping from the 19th floor?"
"Because I am immortal," Su Yu replied.
"Immortal?" Xue Wenli repeated.
"Yes, I've lived for 23 years and have never died, so I am immortal," Su Yu said seriously.
Xue Wenli: "."
She felt like she was being toyed with.
As if anyone has ever died! What a joke, "immortal"!
But Xue Wenli had seen her fair share of chaos. The veins on her forehead twitched, but she quickly suppressed her anger.
"Can you tell us how you obtained your 'immortality'? Was it something you were born with? Or—"
Xue Wenli's gaze shifted to the game equipment on the bed, her eyes narrowing.
According to Zhong Feng's recount of Senior Zhang Jue's words, reaching level 50 in the game could manifest one's strength in reality.
Could it be that Su Yu's power comes from the game?
Seeing Xue Wenli's gaze shift to the game helmet, Su Yu decided not to hide it: "That's right, my power comes from the game Evolution. I can bring out a portion of my in-game power into the real world."
Su Yu raised his right hand, and an electric arc flickered at his fingertips, crackling with energy, but he held back from releasing the Lightning Arrow.
"This..."
Xue Wenli's pupils contracted sharply as she stared at the electric light in Su Yu's palm.
Elder Zhangjiao hadn’t lied to them. His words were being proven true by this young man! The was really that that the capabilities power game could been in-game game would be revealed could bring out superpowers from the game!
If Zhongfeng had seen this, he would probably have fainted from excitement!
"You're already level 50?!"
"No, it's a special talent that allows me to manifest my power early."
"Is that so?"
Xue Wenli's expression became uncertain as she stared at Su Yu's face.
This was a significant matter!
Once it was confirmed that Evolution could bring out superpowers, the importance of the game would skyrocket! Moreover, based on the abilities Su Yu had already obtained,,, they could infer just how powerful humans could become after level 50. This was crucial!
Seeing that Xue Wenli was hesitating, Su Yu glanced at the photo: "I can explain what happened this morning as well."
"I've never been to the top floor of the building. I was curious and went there because of my resignation."
"By the time I reached the door of the president's office, the situation had escalated. I was terrified, so I threw a lightning bolt at the person."
"The person was enraged, forced me to wear the mask, and threw me off the building. I barely survived by using my electricity to cling to the walls. That's all I know."
"Hmm," Xue Wenli nodded.
She had already interrogated the financial director of Muyun Company, Wang Chongyang, who confirmed that Su Yu had been wandering around the building.
However, there were still many doubts.
For example, the cleaning lady had never seen Su Yu;
The lock on the president's office door was damaged by lightning, which seemed to be Su Yu's doing;
Where did the Skrull weapon that could penetrate walls go?
Xue Wenli knew Su Yu was definitely hiding something from her.
But that wasn't the point.
The point was that Su Yu's power really did come from the game, and this was extremely important for her department, the entire Guo Jia, and even the whole world!
Xue Wenli stood up, looking at Su Yu's face seriously, "Would you be willing to join our department as a 'Special Advisor'?"
Seeing Su Yu frown, she quickly added, "As a 'Special advisor,' you wouldn't have to report to the department. You could stay home and play the game, and I would contact you directly. Plus, you'd enjoy the benefits of a full-time position!"
The department's founding purpose was to "unite all possible forces to fight the invaders."
Adhering to this purpose, she extended an olive branch to Su Yu, rather than forcibly seizing him.
"We can cooperate," Su Yu answered cautiously.
Cooperating with the department was inevitable.
In the game, he needed a large number of people to gather materials after building the mage tower; outside the game, he needed to gather more ghost information to harvest experience.
However.
"My current strength is still too low. With weak power, my words carry less weight. I need to level up quickly!" Su Yu thought to himself.
