Chapter 995: Chapter 993: The Girl Met at the Bar
Tiantian said, "She won’t skip tomorrow too, right? In that case, you guys are in trouble, playing with one person less than others. Isn’t she just causing trouble? Why join the event if she doesn’t want to come?"
Everyone actually had similar concerns, but it was hard to voice them, so they could only hope everything would be normal the next day.
Meanwhile...
Ye Ning didn’t make it to the gathering after waking up in the afternoon and went straight to the Organization in the evening to find something to do.
The Organization’s base here was quite large.
Jun Lin heard Ye Ning came and specially came over in the evening to hang out.
He sat there and looked at Ye Ning’s body, saying, "I really don’t know what the so-called venom from the Mu Family means."
"Isn’t this scientifically based?" Ye Ning asked.
Jun Lin said, "Not really. I always feel that the venom should be some sort of chemical substance, but our current technology can’t grasp it, so they pass it down by word of mouth, and we outsiders don’t know."
Ye Ning sighed, "Then there’s nothing that can be done."
Jun Lin said, "Right, the master thought of a way and cloned a body for you."
"What?"
Ye Ning exclaimed in surprise, "Is it for my gold vault?"
"Yeah, because of your DNA, we managed to create a bit of it with great difficulty, but we can’t use it just once to open the vault. Using it once would deplete it, and you’d still not get into the vault in the future. So the master said why not just clone a body."
"Alright then, is this clone alive? Does it have a soul?"
"Of course not. Don’t be silly. Okay, just don’t worry about it for now. We’re still researching."
"Oh."
This is outside Ye Ning’s area of interest, so the senior brother didn’t tell her much.
Ye Ning asked, "Are you taking classes here recently?"
"Yeah, at Stanford University."
"I think I’ll stay here for a few days, going back after the invitational ends."
"Then I’ll come find you when I have time. But have you heard anything from QM recently?"
"No, he hasn’t contacted me since he left."
"Strange, we haven’t heard from him either," Jun Lin said. "Could something have happened on his side?"
"Don’t worry, that troublemaker," Ye Ning didn’t seem concerned. "Troublemakers always live long."
Ye Ning said, getting up and heading out, "Are you coming to watch my match tomorrow?"
"I can’t go, school starts tomorrow. I need to prepare things tonight."
"Alright."
At this moment, Ye Ning’s phone suddenly rang.
Ye Ning paused for a moment, picked up the phone, saw it was Mu Yeli, and then answered with relief.
"Hello."
"Why aren’t you at the hotel?"
"Ah?"
Ye Ning was startled for a moment and said, "No way, you’re in America."
"Yes."
"..."
Ye Ning quickly told Jun Lin and ran back.
Jun Lin smiled wryly at this point, sitting there, and headed out towards the bar.
The base was hidden below the bar, so entry and exit required going through this chaotic bar.
At this point, he noticed a young girl sitting alone over there, appearing Asian, looking a bit out of place in the midst of a bunch of foreigners.
The key point was, several foreigners were eyeing her with great interest, the girl looking quite naive, younger, and seemed not accustomed to places like this.
Jun Lin thought for a second and walked over.
He sat next to the girl immediately, and the other foreigners wanted to approach but, under Jun Lin’s gaze, felt he wasn’t someone to mess with, and had to back off.
