Qin Siyang asked, "Wen Shu, did you call me about something?"
Wen Shu's voice was as gentle as ever. "I saw people on the Forum saying you were badly injured and your life was in danger, so I called to check on you."
News on the Forum always lagged behind.
By the time Wen Shu learned that Qin Siyang had been in danger, he had already pulled through and recovered.
Still, Qin Siyang was deeply pleased by her concern.
"It was nothing. People were just spreading rumors. I'm almost fully recovered. In a few days, I'll be able to go Outside the Safe Zone to hunt gods, full of energy, just like I did a few days ago."
"Just like a few days ago? Didn't you say you'd been staying in the Safe Zone the whole time and hadn't gone outside?"
Wen Shu's words made Qin Siyang's brain short-circuit for a moment.
Perhaps he had only just recovered from his serious injuries, and his mind wasn't back in peak condition yet.
He had actually forgotten the lie he had told Wen Shu.
"Ah... uh, that was a slip of the tongue. I meant just like last month. Yes, last month."
Naturally, such a clumsy lie couldn't fool Wen Shu.
Wen Shu's voice was calm. "Qin Siyang, have you been risking your life fighting outside the Safe Zone all this time?"
"Not really. I only go out occasionally, collect some ordinary materials around the edges outside the Safe Zone, and come back. There's nothing risky about it."
"But I saw people on the Forum saying you obtained an extremely rare Crimson Crystal and became the strongest person of the younger generation in the Safe Zone. Can you really get such a rare material just around the edges outside the Safe Zone?"
