Xiang Han got the feeling that he had been enticed and looked into Lu Ze’s dark eyes. In a daze, he nodded. Soon after, he was pulled back into an embrace and kissed thoroughly by the other person. What was even stranger, was that he didn't feel forced or any regret after this.

Ah, does that not mean that he had agreed not because of the task or the money?

Struggling to break free from Lu Ze’s arms, he sighed for two seconds and began to worry for the other person: “Are you still planning to change ‘Ten Thousand Worlds?’ I heard that the banks have rejected your loan request?”

Since there was no need to matchmake them anymore, there was no need to experience Tianchen’s crisis any longer. Should he also help to solve that problem with the bank's loans?

Lu Ze hugged him and rested his chin on his shoulders. Xiang Han heard a light laugh and then a whisper, "Are you worried for me?"

Seeing that he still had the mood to laugh, Xiang Han felt very gloomy and turned his head away, "I am serious. There is nothing unique about ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’ and the core technology is easy to copy."

Lu Ze looked at Xiang Han’s extremely serious face and how he was worried for himself. But he only felt the desire to push him down and bully him. Thus, he really did so. Rolling over, he pushed Xiang Han down, kissed and touched him all over. If they were not in the hospital and if Xiang Han was not injured, he would probably do everything once over.

"I’m being serious here. Can you focus?" Xiang Han stared at him furiously, his eyes sparkling with tears, and his ears blushing red.

Although Lu Ze wanted to continue bullying him, seeing that his lips were already slightly swollen, he had to reluctantly stop. Laying down on his side, he explained: “I have also thought about the things that you’ve mentioned, that’s why I wanted to make a big change. But the bank..."

Saying this, Lu Ze frowned slightly. He clearly had not solved this problem.

Xiang Han sighed and said: "I will accompany you to the bank next time."

Since Lu Hai had used unfair means to make Lu Ze be unable to borrow money, he could also use abnormal means to counterattack, for example, spiritual force.
Lu Ze listened with curiosity and asked unconsciously, "What, you have a way?"

Xiang Han’s nerves tensed: "I'm quite lucky..."

Fortunately, Lu Ze's cell phone rang suddenly and Xiang Han sighed with relief, pushing him away.

Lu Ze temporarily let him go, but after picking up the phone, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

He quickly left the ward and decided to close the door before he answered: “Uncle Zhang, what did you mean by that sentence? Can’t be prosecuted for kidnapping or illegal possession of firearms?”

Lawyer Zhang apologized: “Lu Ze, I’m afraid this matter will be difficult to deal with. They found someone to become his scapegoat and said that Zhao Handong was also abducted. That is to say, the crimes that he can be prosecuted for is only the illegal use of firearms. At most, he will be imprisoned for two or three years, but it is very likely that he will be released early. In addition, he may even be released on bail in the near future."

Lu Ze gripped his phone tightly, his fingers tensed and was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth: "What about the sale and possession of drugs?"

Lawyer Zhang sighed, "Lu Ze, I know what you mean. But after all, there is no evidence. Although the results for the residual solution in the syringe has yet to come out, whether or not it will be declared a drug, we both know."

Lu Ze closed his eyes and when he opened his eyes, he repressed his anger and said: "If it’s two or three years, so be it. But it cannot be reduced."

"I will try, but... you don't expect too much."

When he returned to the ward, Lu Ze's mood was somewhat glum. He had to admit that, without Lu family’s background, many things had become much more difficult to handle and he may not even be able to get revenge for his lover.

After knowing the reason, Xiang Han subconsciously tried to comfort him: "Look, am I not okay now? Moreover, he relied on his family while you rely on yourself. You are much better than him, but..."

"But what?" Seeing Xiang Han suddenly frowned, Lu Ze could not help but ask.

Xiang Han thought for a moment before saying: "Zhao Handong may really be dealing in drugs."

Lu Ze looked at him and asked, "Are you sure?"

"En," Xiang Han nodded and said: "He may not have used it himself, but he definitely bought some before." Otherwise, where did the original host get his drugs from?

Lu Ze looked serious, "How do you know?"

"Uh," Xiang Han had a guilty conscience and confessed: "Before... didn’t I hang out with him for a while? And even his friends smoked at that time."

Lu Ze heard this and felt fear. If he hadn’t realized that Xiang Han was only acting previously and forced him to stay by his side, would Xiang Han have been caught by Zhao Handong and fallen into that life?

Thinking of this possibility, his entire body felt cold. He hugged Xiang Han tightly: “You are not allowed to meet with those people in the future. Also, if there is something, you must tell me. You are not allowed to hide anything from me or overthink by yourself."

"Uh oh." Although he did not understand what was happening, he could see that the target was worried about him. Therefore, he raised his uninjured left hand to hug Lu Ze back.

With Xiang Han’s help, Lu Ze quickly obtained a loan and successfully improved ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’. When the improvement was nearing completion, he handed the game over to the Ministry of Technology to deal with, and accompanied Xiang Han all day long.

On the day of the release, Zhao Handong was also released on bail. Lu Ze and Lawyer Zhang were also present. Zhao Handong recognized their car and smiled slyly from across.

Lawyer Zhang secretly cursed him in his heart and turned to advise Lu Ze: "Don’t take it too hard. I’ve already talked to my friend and he promised to strictly enforce the regulations. During this period, Zhao Handong cannot go anywhere except for obediently staying at home."

Lu Ze shook his head and carelessly replied: "No need, let people keep a close eye on him."

On the other side, Tianchen’s employees were extremely busy, but most of their faces were full of joy. They did not notice even when Lu Ze had arrived for quite some time.

He could only head towards the technical department and let out a low cough: "How is the game launch going?"

Qian Xiaofeng, the person in charge of the technical department, was his university classmate. Hearing this, he immediately became excited: "In less than half a day, the number of players has exceeded 300,000, and the rate is still increasing. It is estimated that there will be 700,000 people registering today."

No one knows when Sun Shuya arrived, he laughed lightly: "Today is just the premiere of the movie ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’, there will definitely be more people online tomorrow.”

"Yeah." Lu Ze only answered briefly.

When Sun Shuya saw this, his face could not help but turn ugly. When he thought of his private meeting with Lu Hai, he subconsciously tightened his fists and his expression became complicated.

Lu Ze seemed calm but in fact, he was very happy on the inside. 700,000 people, although this was less than those of big companies, it was already quite good. Moreover, ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’ had many fans. As long as the quality of the game was decent, more players would continue to join. The most important thing was that after the revision of ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’, it now had its own core technology. It would be difficult to copy.

However, they still underestimated the power of fans. After 18 hours, the number of registered players had already exceeded the estimated 700,000. Nearly 24 hours later, it had exceeded one million. In the end, on the first day of the release, ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’ had registered 1.01 million players. This achievement, even if it was placed amongst the games of big companies, was excellent. Tianchen's employees were overjoyed.

The official website forum was also full of praise. Many players were fans of the book and excitedly left messages:

"The scene is too real. Longwu Forest is exactly as I imagine!"

"In reality, there are many sub-plots that I can't remember. But after playing the game, the familiar feeling instantly returned."

“Yes. I remember, when I was in junior high school, my brothers tore a copy of ‘Ten Thousand Worlds’ into few pieces and secretly shared the different parts to read in class. In an instant, seven or eight years have already passed...”

"I am going to call those brothers from that year to play together. Ah, thinking about how many years we have not been in contact..."

Lu Ze coincidentally saw this article and Qian Xiaofeng laughed ‘hehe’: "This article was written by our people."

"Too obvious," Lu Ze calmly kept his phone down, but the curve of his lips was clear.

Achieving this level of results, he was pleasantly surprised. But seeing Sun Shuya, he quickly calmed down again. He was clear about Sun Shuya’s meeting with Lu Hai, and knew exactly what was coming next.

When Lu Ze walked out of the company, Chief Wu from the Shen Du group called and congratulated him first, and then complained: “Mr. Zhou is really biased, yesterday he only promoted the game, but did not mention the movie.”

Mr. Zhou? Is he talking about ‘Husky’?

After reading the Weibo post, Lu Ze understood immediately. The reason why the final number of players managed to hit one million was not unrelated to the 30 million fans. He called to thank the 'Husky' and then went to the hospital with a good mood.

At this time, it was already late at night, but Xiang Han still did not sleep. He was holding his phone and continuously swiping it, even failing to notice when Lu Ze approached him.

Lu Ze directly took his phone, and frowned: "So late, why are you not asleep?"

"I’m consulting the god on how to write. Also, I asked him to help promote your game. How’s the result?"

Lu Ze’s mouth hooked up and calmly said: “Not bad.”
