The conclusion of the survival game was highly anticlimactic for Hu Lei. When she left thebyrinth, she found that the next stage was a forest-like area. She felt incredibly at home and decided to track and kill off participants in the difficult-to-guard woods.


    Unfortunately, as someone with zero knowledge on this game and gaming in general, she did not know that there was a third stage. Therefore, she kept frolicking in the woods and attracting hatred by killing off unsuspecting yers.


    When the final minute countdown began, Hu Lei was just emerging from the forest. The third section was an open field which required yers to run to the finish line without being killed off in the open section. She did not even bother trying. Still, she could not help feeling dejected as an attendant in ck robes came to escort her out.


    "Hu Lei, you are quite apetitor." Shun appeared from nowhere as soon as she left the game area.


    She looked at him with an unfriendly eye. No one liked this type offorting praise.


    "I am not kidding. If you had made it to the finish line, you would have worn. Moreover, you are responsible for taking out almost half of thepetitors." Shun looked at her with glowing eyes.


    Hu Lei felt a littleforted.


    "Who ended up winning?" She asked.


    Shun looked at her with a smile that almost split his face. He pointed at Zhong Feng who was being led by another attendant.


    Immediately, Hu Lei felt a smile creep up on her little adorable face. She had been feeling down because she felt that she had helped the person who won. After all, the yers who had left the maze were experiencedpetitors. By eliminating them, she had definitely made other peoples'' paths quite smooth.


    "Congrattions, Ah-Feng." She smiled happily showing her teeth.


    He came over and rubbed her head.


    "Now, you know how amazing I am." He said with augh.


    Shun once again felt like his world view had shifted because he had never seen a Zhong Feng like this one. He shook his head to expel the thoughts.


    "You know that you would make a powerful cultivator couple in a fantasy world. Hu Lei managed to eliminate numerous yers while Zhong Feng managed to get to the finish line without killing anyone." He eximed with some envy.


    Actually, it was not surprising that no one would attempt to eliminate Zhong Feng since he was like an emperor in Supreme City. But the fact that he had won without killing off anyone meant that he had managed to collect a lot of tokens through his own efforts.


    "Naturally, my hubby is amazing." Hu Lei caught Zhong Feng''s arm and held it close to her chest in smug satisfaction.


    Shun rolled his eyes.


    "There is one more matter that I wanted to consult you on. What do you want to do about that girl, Shishi? She clearly pushed you and had it out for you." Shun asked.


    Normally, he would not deal too harshly with rule breakers. A temporary ban would be imposed to scare them a little. However, this was his hero''s girlfriend. If he didn''t give her special treatment, how would he face his hero?


    "Ban her permanently." Zhong Feng spoke without hesitation.


    "There is no need for that. Let it be." There was no need to be excessive about such a small matter. It was a game anyway.


    Zhong Feng frowned, but ultimately, he could only ept her words. The couple exchanged a few more words with Shun before leaving. Some of the other yers remained to enjoy the other attractions, but Hu Lei already felt exhausted and drained.


    "Where do you want to go next?" Zhong Feng asked with a smile as they drove from Secret Realm.


    Hu Lei looked out of the window in contemtion. She had a certain stone-like feeling in her heart, weighing down on her. Running around like a little child ying a shooting game seemed to remind her of something, but she could not remember what it was. When she almost grasped that thought, it seemed to fleet away.


    "Can you drive to Bright Stars Middle School?" She asked.


    Zhong Feng looked at her in question. He felt a little worried when he realised how tired and strained she looked. Even if she had recovered, her body was still not in the best condition.


    "Do you want to go home first? I will drive you thereter after a shower and some food." He offered.


    "No, it''s fine. I just feel like there is something I need to remember. If I don''t go right now, I might lose it." It was not the first time she had felt that feeling of recalling something important about her life. But it almost always disappeared.


    Zhong Feng did not oppose the matter further. He knew that she had lost a lot of memories from her childhood. Even if most people did not remember details of their childhood, it was different than having aplete nk. She had no memory of a peaceful life because her first memories began when she had been first captured.


    Zhong Feng parked his vehicle outside the quaint little school. Since it was a weekend, there were no children, teachers or even guards. Hu Lei stepped out of the vehicle with a focussed look in her eyes. She felt a little dizzy and disoriented. However, she did not stop until she stood in front of the locked gate.


    She looked at the school and felt a sense of familiarity, as if nothing had changed. The images in her mind became less blurry as she stared through the gaps of the gate. They were scattered memories, but she could not help feeling excited. She remembered ying on crude monkey bars, wowing her ssmates with her upper body strength. Theughter and joy seemed so distant, but it sounded real.


    After that, she recalled how it had all ended. She had left the school and began walking home. The distant was not very short, but she did not mind. Well, she had repeated that lie because she had had no choice. The truth was that her father was not around, and her mother did not want her.


    On that day, she had noticed a familiar vehicle behind her. It was innocuous in its appearance. She had seen it before on multiple asions. But she did not care because she had checked and seen the clear ''Global Volunteer Doctors'' on the panels. She had asked her father about it, and he had said the people who drove it were good and helped others.


    She did not remember what exactly had happened. The vehicle had stopped before her, and she had looked up in question. Then, nothing…


    "Let''s go." Hu Lei turned from the locked gate.
