Settling Debts of Gratitude and Grievance (Ongoing)

"You need... ooh ooh ooh..."

Seeing that Jeston had suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed a bellyful of air while moving at high speed, Feng Xue felt no pity whatsoever. Instead, she increased her speed even further. Looking at Jeston's face, which was trembling violently from the airflow, her mood improved.

Feng Xue's impression of Jeston wasn't too bad, or rather, it was more of a complex one.

He wasn't a saint, so he wouldn't say anything that showed a difference in opinion, but in the end, Jeston did provide him with considerable assistance while almost killing him.

Without the "Money Printer" Tag he provided, Libra would be out of the question. Moreover, the ambulance industry chain he created not only became his biggest source of "knowledge" for a period of time, but also directly transformed into the Trait "Ambulance Demon" later on.

More importantly, his practice of specifically hiring Asians directly catalyzed the emergence of the Weird Tale that "Yan Country People Know Martial Arts." It can be said that without Jeston, even if Feng Xue were to develop her career, it would have taken a very long time.

On the other hand, even if Jeston gave him an angel investment, it doesn't negate the fact that he almost killed himself. As for the assassin outfit that was stolen, that was nothing compared to that.

Regardless of what others think, Feng Xue at least considers himself a good person, so he naturally wants to clearly distinguish between gratitude and resentment.

For him, his merits and demerits cannot be offset against each other.

You saved my life, so I'll repay you with my life, but you still have to pay back the money you owe me, and vice versa. As an angel investor, Jeston had a significant impact on his path of Weird Tale, Feng Xue planned to repay him, but she also wanted to get revenge for almost killing her.

So Feng Xue put her mind to it—

Oh, what a coincidence!

So Feng Xue came to Colombia.

Feng Xue casually tossed Jeston to the ground, pulled up a chair, and sat down. Jeston, realizing this wasn't Fran's interrogation room, breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately said:

"Mr. Han, Mr. Han Meimei, if there's anything you need me to do, I'll definitely help! If you're looking for Fran, he's currently at the military research institute, I..."

"What the hell is Han Meimei!" Feng Xue grinned, casually tossing a bag of salt at Jeston's face, interrupting him. As for Fran, Feng Xue didn't seem to have any particular grudge against him; she simply squinted and gave him a "friendly" smile, saying:

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you a question... Do you want to become Weird Tale? Oh, in your words, a monstrous ghost."

"Uh... this..." Jeston was speechless when Feng Xue suddenly said this. He never expected that this big shot would suddenly appear just to say this.

Seeing his bewildered expression, Feng Xue laughed even harder. He stood up from the stool and started circling around Jeston, saying as he walked:

"Becoming Weird Tale quite interesting. You're immortal, can be resurrected, and can even draw power from legends. Cain know Cain, right? The one who was looked down upon by Yahweh for farming. I chatted and laughed with him!"

"Ah, this..." Jeston's face immediately lit up with ecstasy, and he nodded instantly. However, he wasn't truly stupid; after nodding, he seemed to remember something and said with some difficulty:

"Um, are there any conditions?"

"Well, after all, immortality comes with a price, right? Like, if nobody remembers you, you just disappear, like those guys who vanish from prison." Feng Xue shrugged nonchalantly, but Jeston didn't relax. He wasn't stupid, and he naturally understood that there were other traps involved. Otherwise, there was no reason for them to choose him for such a good opportunity. But considering that he had absolutely no power to resist, he could only nod and say:

"As you say, I'm definitely willing. I have no other choice. I just want you to tell me everything, so I can at least die knowing why."

"Oh, not too stupid!" Feng Xue was slightly surprised, but still nodded and said:

"Actually, it's nothing much. First, for something to be remembered, it has to be highly relevant, like a meme... you know what a meme is, right? Like how your Colombia manufactures super serum, you should know that."

"..." Jeston nodded upon hearing this. In fact, the team currently producing the super serum was trained by teachers from his school for disabled children.

If that's all there is to it, he can simply invest in and make a few movies himself. He can't make good ones, but he can always make bad ones like Shark Tornado. If he makes dozens of them over ten years, they'll become a meme eventually!

Jeston's mind was clearer than ever before; he even began to look forward to it, because if it were really that simple, he could become immortal...

"Secondly, you need to go to another world."

"Huh?" The blueprint that Jeston had just constructed collapsed instantly, followed by disbelief as if he had misheard.

Another world?

Could it be the world behind the door?

Thinking of Fran's grotesque appearance, Jeston suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his sphincter.

"Don't be afraid, it's just a parallel world. You know VR games, right? You'll enter a virtual game as a Game Player, and then try to Create Memes. If you succeed, it'll become Weird Tale; if you fail, you don't need to come back."

"A game, so that means it's okay to die?" A glimmer of hope shone in Jeston's eyes, and Feng Xue nodded in agreement.

"That's right, it's okay if you die in the game, provided you don't starve to death in real life. Let me make it clear first, I won't leave you any money. You'll have to work to earn your own money over there, and you'll also have to learn the language."

"No problem! I also studied Chinese after you disappeared, Ni Hao! Is it too late?"

Jeston immediately spoke in classic American-accented Chinese, Feng Xue rolled her eyes and interrupted him, then said directly:

"Alright, alright, now that you're ready, let's set off!"

After saying that, without waiting for Jeston's reaction, he pulled out a Wrapping Cloth and packed him up.

The Wrapping Cloth didn't say that living people couldn't be wrapped up, nor did the waist bag say that living people couldn't be carried in it, so using a waist bag for smuggling is quite reasonable.

Back in the Game World, Feng Xue quickly assigned Jeston a bachelor identity and a complete set of supporting identities (from the [Cyber Hacker] Tag). In a sense, Feng Xue didn't finish her sentence.

After all, although he won't die in the game, he'll definitely die once Jeston becomes Weird Tale.

As for whether death will become a real Weird Tale or simply mean death, that's a gamble! Just like when Feng Xue was in prison, she gambled on whether she would live or die.

Yes, revenge for wrongs, gratitude for kindness, one thing fulfills two requirements, perfect!
