"Zhen'er, let's go." Mortals can only eat the Longevity Pill once, while the extended lifespan can randomly increase up to a hundred years in lifespan. Although the male lead's luck was exhausted, he was still ‘lucky’ in these kinds of things and directly increased another hundred years of his life.
Nie Zhen'er and her will definitely spend their one hundred years well.
"Zhen'er, let's go." Luan Qing Xiao turned around to grasp Nie Zhen'er's hand and the two left the ghost mansion together.
"Mistress, what did you feed him just now?" Nie Zhen'er asked in curiosity.
"It's a Longevity Pill."
"Longevity Pill? Then he really was a human, not a ghost!" Nie Zhen'er let out a sigh of relief, "His appearance was really scary. He may not have been a ghost, but he seems more like a ghost than a ghost."
"It’s natural justice and retribution for all things he had done. If you do too many bad things, you’ll become just like him, neither alive nor dead."
"Mistress said he did bad things to become like this, but why did Mistress give him a Longevity Pill?" Isn't it better for the bad guy to die?
"Zhen'er, for him, living is more painful than death." Luan Qing Xiao walked out of the ghost mansion with Nie Zhen’er.

The Real World
Luan Qing Xiao took off her brainwave connection helmet and sat up from the nutrition cabin.
When she stared blankly at the man waiting for her outside the nutrition cabin, she suddenly felt like crying.
This time she was lucky, who knows if she would have the chance to ever see Nie Zhen'er again in the next world?
"Qing Xiao, why are your eyes red?" The man was Luan Qing Xiao's colleague at the Plot Correction Research Institute, named Qu Wei, who was mainly responsible for recruiting staff like Luan Qing Xiao.
Luan Qing Xiao blinked her aching eyes before shaking her head, "It's nothing." After speaking, she exited the nutrition cabin.
"Qing Xiao, you’re simply amazing. You’ve completed the mission for the third time. Come with me, this time the bonus is 400,000 yuan, it’ll transfer to your card tomorrow. Also..." Qu Wei said with a smile on his face. .
"Qu Wei..." Luan Qing Xiao called out to him, interrupting Qu Wei's words.
"I want to resign, please forward the process to me." Luan Qing Xiao's voice was hoarse and filled with exhaustion.
The smile on Qu Wei's face froze. He furrowed his brows and asked in concern, "Qing Xiao, adding the 400,000 yuan this time, you still have 300,000 in debt. Why do you suddenly want to resign?"
Luan Qing Xiao replied, "There’s no reason. I’ll find another job to pay back the 300,000 yuan." Without Nie Zhen’er in the future worlds, she won’t be able to complete her missions normally.
Qu Wei saw the pain in her eyes, which caused him to cautiously utter. "I won't ask, but resigning requires the Supervisor’s approval. I’ll take you to see the Supervisor and you can tell him, okay?"
Luan Qing Xiao nodded, "Thank you, Qu Wei."
Luan Qing Xiao followed Qu Wei to the office on the fifth floor. Qu Wei knocked on the door and opened the door, but didn’t walk in with Luan Qing Xiao.
When Luan Qing Xiao walked inside the Supervisor's office, the Supervisor put aside his holographic screen and greeted enthusiastically. "It's Qing Xiao ah, I heard your performance is extremely excellent. How is it, are you getting used to working here?"
Luan Qing Xiao came up to the Supervisor and said directly, "Supervisor, I am here this time to resign."
The Supervisor widened his eyes in surprise, "Resign? Go ask which company can provide as high of a salary like us. As far as I know, your debts haven’t been paid off yet. Why do you suddenly want to resign?"
"Did someone else poach you?" The Supervisor immediately appeared nervous, "Which company poached you? How much salary did they offer? We can negotiate your salary, Qing Xiao, don't be impulsive."
Luan Qing Xiao said, "There isn’t any other company poaching me, I just... … feel very tired and don't want to do this anymore."
"Tired? If you are tired, you can take more rest. How about I give you a month off? Whenever you have enough rest, you can return. Resigning isn’t something you just say casually. " The Supervisor advised.
Recently, the number of resigning staff within their research institute has increased sharply. One only left half a year ago, while another one had just left. No matter what Luan Qing Xiao said, he couldn't let her go.
"We can discuss whatever problem Qing Xiao has, or if you have any requirements, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you solve it?"
Luan Qing Xiao was silent for a while. Then she confessed, "Supervisor, I fell in love with a person in the mission world and used a skill card to date her in all three worlds."
"In love? With a person in the mission world?" The Supervisor couldn’t believe it, "May I ask who you’re in love with?" Was it with the male lead?
"The female lead."
"Female-female lead?!" The Supervisor’s mouth dropped in surprise, "You mean you and the female lead dated in all three worlds??"
"Yes."
"Wait a minute, let me calm down." The Supervisor opened his holographic screen with trembling hands and checked Luan Qing Xiao's mission record. "If I remember correctly, your female lead in your first world is Nie Zhen'er and you said you dated her in all three worlds… …You actually were."
"You dating with the female lead, isn’t- isn’t that pretty good? Haha, you even dated in all three worlds. Was it because you guys broke up in the previous world, so you want to resign?" The Supervisor stood up from his seat and walked around to the desk to sit down on the guest sofa.
"Come Qing Xiao, we need to have a good talk." Who knows why but the Supervisor’s face suddenly became red?
Luan Qing Xiao sat on the sofa opposite the Supervisor and glanced at the Supervisor weirdly, "Supervisor, we didn't break up."
"If you didn’t break up, why do you want to resign?" The Supervisor was extremely excited. His voice doubled the pitch it was at the beginning.
"In the previous two worlds, I managed to replace the female lead with a skill card to meet her again. I’m just afraid that the female lead of the next world won’t be Zhen'er." Luan Qing Xiao lowered her gaze.
"Who told you that?" The Supervisor stood up agitated, "Let me tell you, don't you just want to date Nie Zhen'er? Date her! Not only in the next world or the next next world, I’ll arrange the female lead to be Nie Zhen'er for you in every single world in the future!"
"... … The female lead can be arranged?" Luan Qing Xiao was stunned.
"Why can't it? Just based on the fact you actually dated the female lead, I have to make the arrangements for you!"
The Supervisor chuckled and sat down next to Luan Qing Xiao. He peered at the door and whispered mysteriously, "Originally, this kind of confidentiality secret can only be known by employees who have been in the company for more than one year, but because of your superb performance, Qing Xiao, I’ll tell you in advance."
"Please do." Luan Qing Xiao's mind was filled with brilliant fireworks now like she was smack by the pleasant surprise of winning the lottery.
She can still meet Nie Zhen'er!
"Cough, do you know why our Plot Correction Research Institute exists?"
"Isn’t it just to fix the plot?"
"Yes, but also no." The Supervisor continued, "What is the world you entered? Why is there something wrong with the plot? Why does the plot require human intervention? Have you ever thought about these?"
Luan Qing Xiao shook her head. At that time, she was already overwhelmed by the unexpected debt and was only focused on how to make money without paying attention to anything else. Hearing the high salary of the Plot Correction Research Institute offered, she simply just came.
"If you didn’t think it, then that’s right!" The Supervisor clapped his hands, "Because everything involved in the Plot Correction Research Institute is confidential."
"In reality, the world you enter is a virtual world written and created by the researchers of our institute. Excluding the NPCs, there are also people who play a role like you. Generally, there are three people in each world..."
"The male lead, the female lead and the vicious female supporting character are all played by people in the real world."
Luan Qing Xiao's mind was blown.
"The only difference is that the male lead and the vicious female supporting character have to complete missions, which are all related to the female lead. Whereas the female lead is our employer as well as the 'patient' who needs to be healed by you."
"Zhen'er is also from here and she's sick? What kind of illness is it?" Luan Qing Xiao asked, urgently looking at the Supervisor.
The Supervisor coughed and raised his fist to his mouth, "I don't know Nie Zhen'er’s identity, because it is the top secret of our research institute. However, I have heard of what kind of disease she has. She was diagnosed with the Misanthrope Disorder and felt there was no meaning in living. Therefore her family founded our research institute, hoping to cure her disorder."
"The original plan in the institute was to use love to revive Nie Zhen'er's hope in life, so the role of the 'male lead' was recruited. In order to make more feelings in love and mobilize the female lead's emotions, the vicious female supporting character was added, which is the role you’re playing now."
"Because I went on a business trip, I couldn’t pay attention to Nie Zhen’er’s treatment progress. I came back today only to find out that the first male lead managed to fail in two consecutive worlds. Since the salary is based on the mission completion progress, he didn’t make any money and immediately resigned after the second world.
The second world’s male lead’s resignation was personally done by me this morning. I don’t know how it happened, but there was some problem with his mental state and the company even compensated him money for treatment. "
Luan Qing Xiao: "... …" This seems to be related to her.
"Until you came to find me, did I watch the mission process and found that you did what the male lead failed to do. Qing Xiao, I will hand over Nie Zhen'er to you in the future. I believe you will definitely be able to heal her." You must know that Nie Zhen'er paid 300 million yuan for the treatment. Excluding the more than 100 million that the healer will get, there is still a considerable amount of money that can be earned!
Of course, his commission was rather high too.
"Qing Xiao, I have already briefed you on the complete situation. Then, Nie Zhen'er will be specifically in your care from now on. Work hard, you’ve got a promising future!"
"Knock knock knock." Someone knocked on the door.
The Supervisor walked back to the desk and sat down before returning to his amiable appearance again, "Come in."
Qu Wei walked in with an extremely gentlemanly temperamental man, "Supervisor, this is Wen Mu, who’s here for the interview."
Luan Qing Xiao had just heard a lot of things from the Supervisor, causing her to unable to compose herself in such a short frame of time.
Seeing the Supervisor had more business to handle, she stood up. "Supervisor, I'll be heading back first." Then paused before continuing, "I'll return in three days."
"Zhen'er, let's go." Mortals can only eat the Longevity Pill once, while the extended lifespan can randomly increase up to a hundred years in lifespan. Although the male lead's luck was exhausted, he was still ‘lucky’ in these kinds of things and directly increased another hundred years of his life.
