Life Dungeon Game

He waited for a while, but received no response, and slowly raised his head.

His gaze lingered on the smiling young man before him.

The movement froze on the spot.

He Ao gently bent down and hugged the old man whose cheeks were already covered with tears.

Just like Vian has done countless times before.

I'm having some writer's block, so I'll update later tomorrow.

Chapter 480 Allies (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

"Honey, come help me with this."

Elsa excitedly pushed open the door, carrying two huge supermarket bags.

"I'm coming."

Jack, who was fiddling with the mechanical model, put it down and ran to the door.

"Mom, what did you buy? Is there anything yummy?"

A little girl with two cute braids peeked out from behind her father, holding a golden toy doll in her arms, her face full of anticipation.

"Everything is delicious."

Jack took the two large shopping bags from his wife, closed the door for her, and smiled at his daughter.

It has been almost a year since their family left Dawn City for Kaya City.

They escaped the surveillance of the Anvis Power Group with the help of the boy who was searching for clues about his parents' death and came to this industrial city near Dawn City.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The little girl excitedly hugged her doll and followed behind her father.

Jack reached out and patted his daughter's head, then placed the shopping bags his wife had brought back on the table.

Kaya City is far less bustling than Dawn City; it lacks dazzling neon lights and a glittering nightlife.

There aren't even that many employers hiring.

When he first arrived here, he was even prepared for his life to get worse and worse.

However, things turned out to be completely contrary to his expectations.

Life in Kaya City wasn't great at first, but with the series of reforms implemented by Mr. Vian, the city underwent a dramatic transformation.

New projects were launched, new factories were built, and the roar of machines echoed throughout the night.

And along with these things comes an increasingly better life.

Although neither he nor his wife received a raise, the apartment rent decreased, as did their children's school fees and living expenses. His wife also found a regular job at a supermarket under the Nolanca Group.

A few months ago, Nolanca Group's insurance company launched an affordable health insurance product, which the group purchased for all its employees.

The reimbursement rate for this insurance is much higher than the previous medical insurance. Jack went to see a doctor once before, and the bill that would have cost more than 200 federal dollars was now less than 50 federal dollars.

The reduction in living expenses allowed Jack and Elsa to have more money to buy things they could only admire from a shop window before, and their daughter could have toys she never dared to dream of before.

"What is this? A new brand of synthetic steak?"

Jack opened the shopping bag and took out the items that were piled up the most inside.

"It seems to be a new product from the group's meat processing company," Aisha said, taking off her work shoes at the door, rubbing her ankles which were covered in flesh-colored stockings, and changing into her foam slippers.

"Today, the new products were on sale at a huge discount. The supermarket restocked two or three times, but they were all sold out very quickly. If I hadn't been working right next to the shelves, I wouldn't have been able to get any at all."

"Why is this selling so well?"

Jack curiously rummaged through the box of steaks in his hand, then picked them up, walked to the refrigerator, opened the freezer door, and was immediately greeted by a freezer full of various frozen foods.

Frozen products appeared before his eyes.

“How could they not sell well?” Aisha slowly walked over. “It’s said that Mr. Vian has invested a lot of money in these grain companies and has been losing money all along. Even without discounts, these things are snapped up. Although we don’t know what Mr. Vian is planning to do, we should still do our best to help.”

"yes,"

Jack nodded slightly. He opened a drawer, and frozen bacon, roast chicken, and pizza appeared densely packed in his field of vision. "It seems like there's no room in here. I said before that the refrigerator in this apartment is too big."

"How could I not be able to let go?"

Aisha pushed her husband aside and took the steaks from his hands.

Then Jack saw his wife take things out and put them back in, as if by magic, stuffing the whole bunch of steaks into the refrigerator.

"So you've let it go now?"

Aisha turned to look at her dumbfounded husband and winked slyly.

Then her gaze shifted slightly and landed behind Jack.

At that moment, a small figure was leaning over the edge of the table, carefully rummaging through an open shopping bag to pull out two small cakes.

Then a hand covered in slight calluses rested on her small shoulder. "You can only eat one small cake a day."

Upon hearing this, the little girl stiffened. She glanced back at Elsa behind her, and then, under her mother's stern gaze, she looked at the small cakes in her hands with reluctance before carefully putting them back.

Jack watched as his wife coaxed their daughter a few times, then took her to her room to do her homework before coming out of the room a while later.

"what happened to you?"

Aisha looked at her husband, who had been watching her intently, with a puzzled expression.

Jack smiled, took out a small white box from behind him, gently opened it to reveal a silver bracelet inside, and said, "Happy birthday."

"You...I...when..." Aisha stared blankly at her husband, "I've forgotten myself."

Then her gaze shifted to the bracelet in the box. "Is this the one I saw at the mall last time? ... It's too expensive."

She reached out and pressed down on the box, slowly closing the lid. "This is too expensive..."

“You went to so many places and waited in line so long to help me get an appointment with that doctor last time,” Jack said, placing his hand gently on his wife’s. “I just got a bonus, and we can afford something like this now.”

Elsa stared blankly at her husband, her eyes shimmering like a clear spring.

Jack slowly reached out and hugged his wife. "Things will only get better from now on."

"You said the same thing when we first got married, you big liar."

Elsa rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and her nose twitched slightly.

"If you don't believe me, you should at least believe Mr. Vian, right?"

“Mr. Vian did not ask you to waste money.”

The smooth window reflected the two figures embracing, and the bright moon slowly rose along their hair.

The moonlight shone on the bright lights of each house.

-

In the warmly lit conference room, He Ao turned his gaze from the bright moon outside the window to the incredulous woman in business attire beside him.

"You..." Lina looked at him in surprise.

Looking at He Ao's cheek, "Are you really Wei An? Alive?"

"Beep, temperature," the robot controlled by Eve retracted the thermometer in its hand and said solemnly, "Alive."

Although Eve was indeed answering Lina's question very seriously, the current scene was inevitably somewhat comical.

Lina's words, which she had been keeping to herself, were momentarily interrupted by this action, and she forgot what she was going to say.

Are you worried about anything?

He Ao looked at her with a smile.

“No…” Lina stared blankly at Heo, and finally, after hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, “I’ve heard that some evil gods descend upon the corpses of the dead, but… you have a body temperature… I’m just a little worried…”

I worry that this is just a false dream.

"everything will get better."

He looked into her eyes and said softly.

Lina looked into the man's deep eyes, which seemed to possess a strange magic that gradually calmed her tense and anxious heart.

Standing beside him, she always felt at ease and at ease. She had this wonderful feeling ever since she first met 'Wei An'.

At this moment, she finally reconnected the person in front of her with the figure in her memory. This person was Vian, the 'Vian, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Nolanca Group' that she knew.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down completely. She knew that Vian's 'resurrection' was probably really related to some evil god or great being, but none of that mattered. As long as it was the same person who returned, that was enough.

Just then, the conference room door was slowly pushed open, and the old butler, looking energetic, entered the conference room carrying a stack of documents.

"Master Wei'an, the latest progress data for all the group's major projects are here."

Lina looked up at the old man; this was the most energetic she had seen the old housekeeper in the past six months.

Could you give me a brief explanation?

He Ao casually picked up the top document and asked in a slow voice.

Although he had already seen most of the data in the data report Eve sent him, he still wanted to hear Danilo's opinion.

As the de facto controller of the Nolanca Group after Vian's 'sleep', Danilo's understanding of the group's current situation is certainly deeper than Eve's.

After all, some of the documents that had passed through Danilo's personal records might not be under Eve's surveillance, and Eve couldn't understand many of Danilo's analytical thinkings.

"Currently, all major projects within the group are progressing smoothly..."

Danilo turned on the electronic screen in the conference room, projected some documents onto the screen, and began his presentation.

The progress of the various projects that Danilo described was similar to the data that Eve sent to Heo, but Danilo was much more detailed in describing the current predicament than Eve, and included a lot of the old butler's own analysis and insights.

In summary, the main problem facing the Nolanca Group now is the same as He Ao's initial prediction: it's a matter of money.

The price reductions in education and apartments in Kaya City were achieved through subsidies, which are essentially real money being spent.

However, after estimation and coordination by the group's internal actuaries, this portion of the funds can still be used.
