VCRMM: Chapter 485

Su Mo didn’t know how he spent the day.

Since he started playing Starry Sky Age, he had spent almost all his time playing Starry Sky Age, except for going offline to wash up, eat and complete the homework assigned to him by Chi Yu.

He hadn’t experienced being unable to log off for 24 hours like this in a long time, except during the closed beta testing period.

This feeling was very uncomfortable.

Su Mo knew that in the eyes of outsiders, he was probably already considered to be addicted to games. His butler had also advised him to shorten his game time, but he didn’t take it seriously.

After all, he wasn’t upset because he couldn’t play games. He was upset because he could see Chi Yu! Wasn’t it normal to be sad and in pain because he couldn’t see his boyfriend?

In order to combat this anxiety, Su Mo could only choose to go to the gym to distract himself.

He was a gamer but he still paid close attention to his physique! Just thinking about how cute Chi Yu would look with a blush when seeing his real appearance filled Su Mo with motivation.

Moreover, what he found somewhat amazing was—

He had neglected his real-world workouts due to playing Starry Sky Age. Several months had passed and his physique remained unchanged, with no significant regression in his strength training.

There was even a slight improvement in speed?

As Su Mo was running on the treadmill, he didn’t feel the fatigue that came from not exercising for a long time. On the contrary, he felt very comfortable and at ease.

He remembered the past few months when he followed Chi Yu all over the small Doha Town.

When Doha Town was first being built, the transportation network hadn’t been established. This meant he had no means of transportation to use when doing daily errands.

Seriously? Was Starry Sky Age really that amazing? The training he did in the game could actually be reflected in his real body and form a muscle memory?

This was somewhat far-fetched but Su Mo felt it seemed to be the case. He went to the forum to search and found that many people had the same feeling as him.

Meanwhile, insiders also came forward to reveal the truth.

[Don’t you know? Starry Sky Age isn’t just a game. I’ve heard it is already being used in the medical field.]

[Is this true or false?]

[Of course, it is true. Have you heard of Yin Xuemei? That incredibly skilled planting master. In reality, she is in a vegetative state. Since his subconscious is connected to a holographic game, it seems her physical condition is steadily improving and there is a possibility she will wake up.]

Su Mo never expected to make such a discovery.

He already had a lot of confidence in Starry Sky Age and now he was even more certain. He quickly sent the relevant information to his sister, hoping to expedite the cooperation between the Su family and Starry Sky Age.

At the same time, he couldn’t help letting his mind wander.

Since the consciousness of a person in a coma could exist within a game, was it possible that with the development of holographic technology, their consciousness could remain in the game after they died, allowing them to become an NPC like Chi Yu?

At the very least, it would be good to create an NPC that looked exactly like him to accompany Chi Yu…

Su Mo was still bothered by the obstacles that Chi Yu had mentioned, but what he was more bothered by was actually—

Would Chi Yu break up with him because he couldn’t do it?

Thinking about that post again filled Su Mo with fear and unease, but also with a deep sense of frustration.

He felt that he was very capable but he was limited by the game system. There was nothing he could do about it!

So if he could become an NPC, he wouldn’t be restricted by the censorship system, right?

After living with Chi Yu for several months and becoming familiar with the NPCs of Doha Town, he knew that the NPCs had different perspectives from that of players.

Players were constantly under the holy light spell while what the NPCs saw was reality. They were also not restricted by the censorship system and could openly kiss and hug their lovers, and even do unspeakable things.

In other words, he actually wasn’t the best choice for Chi Yu.

Chi Yu could have easily not chosen him. Chi Yu could’ve chosen an NPC who could bring him happiness.

Su Mo couldn’t eat or sleep thinking about this. He wished he could go online immediately and fly to Chi Yu’s side to keep a close eye on him.

Every minute he was away, Chi Yu might change his mind or accept someone else’s advances. After all, his Xiao Yu was very charming!

Finally, after a whole day of wild thoughts, Su Mo’s online restriction was lifted! He entered the game almost impatiently.

This time, he was once again left outside the house by the system.

He was kicked offline yesterday at around 8 p.m. Now it had only been a minute since then, which showed how quickly he logged back in.

However, Su Mo was startled when he saw the house in front of him with the doors and windows tightly closed and all the lights off.

Chi Yu was nowhere to be found!

This shouldn’t be the case. Due to the activity of players, going out at night had become a very risky thing for NPCs. So Chi Yu usually stayed at home after returning in the evening and didn’t go out anymore.

Moreover, Chi Yu should know that he was online at this time. So why go out instead of waiting for him at home?

Su Mo tensed up and quickly turned on his communicator. Instead of contacting Chi Yu directly, he checked Chi Yu’s location.

This was naturally done with Chi Yu’s consent. It wasn’t to satisfy his own desire to control, but rather out of concern for Chi Yu’s safety and the distrust of those silly players.

The behavior of these idiots was unpredictable. Who knew when his Xiao Yu would be affected?

Now Su Mo was very grateful for his foresight.

Once he saw that Chi Yu was at the construction site, he hailed a taxi and rushed over without stopping.

He discovered that the construction site was still operating overtime and confirmed that Chi Yu was safe. Then Su Mo secretly left and went to the NPCs to borrow a kitchen to cook a few dishes for Chi Yu as a late-night meal.

He had originally planned to stand at the entrance of the construction site and surprise Chi Yu when he came out. Unexpectedly, Chi Yu suddenly ran out of the temporary camp.

Then he saw Chi Yu say something to the person next to him before rushing over and hugging him tightly.

This was the first time Su Mo had seen Chi Yu so enthusiastic. It was also the first time he had seen such a joyful smile on Chi Yu’s face.

He was so bright and lovely that Su Mo wanted to cherish him for a lifetime.

“Xiao Yu, I’m back.”

Su Mo also reached out and hugged him tightly as if holding the most precious treasure in the world.

The two of them embraced under the streetlights. The orange glow enveloped them and made everything feel warm.

They were clearly very excited, yet their embrace was restrained. It was as if they were afraid of losing each other again by overstepping their boundaries.

After a long time, Chi Yu slowly released Su Mo and looked up at the young man standing in front of him.

“Why are you only getting back now?”

He complained softly. He was happy, but as soon as he said this, Chi Yu felt his nose sting and an endless sense of grievance welled up in his heart.

Su Mo felt wronged. The moment he logged one, he immediately found Chi Yu’s location and rushed over to find him!

However, seeing Chi Yu’s slightly reddened eyes, he was immediately heartbroken and couldn’t care less about defending himself.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. It is all my fault. Please don’t cry.”

Chi Yu sniffed, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart. Then he took a deep breath and said, “I didn’t cry.”

Su Mo glanced at his reddened nose and met the fierce gaze. Finally, he could only nod while lying through his teeth, “Yes yes, you didn’t cry. I must’ve been mistaken.”

Then he tactfully changed the subject. “Are you hungry? I brought you some late-night meals. They are freshly made.”

There was only a growling sound in response.

Chi Yu blushed. He hadn’t eaten much today and had been busy until late. Once Su Mo mentioned food, his stomach naturally couldn’t take it longer after being tamed by Su Mo.

Su Mo laughed. “Haha, let’s go and find a place to eat.”

Chi Yu said, “I haven’t finished organizing my blueprints.”

“Then I’ll go with you to pack.”

The two of them held hands and walked back to the temporary camp together.

As they walked, Su Mo asked, “The blueprints aren’t even finished yet. Why did you run outside like that?”

It had to be known that the blueprints were Chi Yu’s lifeblood, his treasure…

Chi Yu paused slightly before he continued walking forward, saying casually, “I heard you were at the entrance.”

Su Mo nodded at first. Then he slowly realized what Chi Yu meant and his eyes lit up.

“So you came out looking for me?” He asked.

Chi Yu lowered his head and gave a soft, almost inaudible hum.

The sound was very soft but Su Mo still heard it.

He immediately grinned foolishly. This meant that his status in Chi Yu’s heart had already surpassed that of the blueprints? This discovery surprised him but also made him ecstatic.

So this was how boyfriends were treated! He knew that Xiao Yu would definitely not complain about his impotence.

Since Chi Yu was really hungry, Su Mo simply let him eat the meal at the camp.

Chi Yu didn’t wolf down his food but he ate much faster than usual. Su Mo noticed something strange and asked him, “Xiao Yu, what did you eat today?”

Then he saw Chi Yu freeze. The young man looked at him very seriously and said in a low voice, “I ate on time.”

I just didn’t eat much…

Su Mo raised an eyebrow, knowing there was something more to the words. Still, he didn’t say anything else and only put more food into the bowl.

“Eat slowly, all of this is yours.”

Chi Yu obediently slowed down his movements.

As he ate the delicious food, he felt that his stomach was extremely satisfied. Every cell in his body seemed to sigh with delight at the taste of the meal.

However, as he ate, he looked at Su Mo sitting opposite him, serving him food. Then he suddenly spoke his mind.

“Su Mo, I think… I can’t live without you anymore.”
