Chu Fu was no longer in a vegetative state.
Instead, just like in the game,
she was a healthy person.
Suppressing the surge of joy, Chu Fu felt the vitality of her body and nodded in satisfaction.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, she quickly opened the game pod, but it only cracked open about ten centimeters—it was stuck.
Through the narrow gap, she saw a particularly thick iron chain binding the pod.
“Are the villains really this cautious?” Chu Fu muttered, scanning the room.
The room was extremely simple, like a small single dormitory, with no greenery at all.
But she was close to the bed.
Using her “mental power” to explore, Chu Fu soon spotted a plant.
It was the climbing ivy that covered the entire dormitory building.
[Climbing Ivy: Can mutate into Ladder Ivy.]
[Ladder Ivy: Can extend up to 50 meters. Even if it goes beyond the controller’s mental range, it will still extend to form a ladder upon command.]
“The prerequisite for a ladder is that I can get out first!”
This climbing ivy could only serve as a ladder—it couldn’t attack.
But she didn’t give up.
She immediately took control of the ivy.
“Go find me a dandelion!”
[Plant Manipulation]
Her mental energy infused into the mutated ivy, which seemed to come alive, quietly crawling and writhing along the walls.
Since their roots were naturally in the ground, dandelions were most likely to sprout in the corners.
Soon, the mutated ivy grabbed a dandelion, pulling away its leaves, roots, and fluffy seed head.
Then, the ivy climbed through the window.
It was summer, and the room had no air conditioning on—the window was naturally open, though there was an iron grille for security. But that didn’t slow down the mutated ivy.
“Wait, first take down the surveillance camera.”
Suddenly remembering something, Chu Fu controlled the ivy to crawl up the wall and dismantle the camera hanging in the corner.
In truth, Chu Fu had been overthinking.
In this kind of school, where students were often abused and punished, the surveillance cameras were usually broken and never turned on.
With the camera dealt with, Chu Fu finally let the Ladder Ivy bring the dandelion over.
The fluffy dandelion seeds were plentiful, and she carefully plucked some, clutching them in her palm.
There was no space backpack in real life.
Her secret weapon was these dandelion seeds.
She tossed one of the seeds out.
[Plant Mutation]
The dandelion seed began to grow in midair.
Its leaves sharpened, becoming long and wide, like a chainsaw.
In moments, a two-meter wide dandelion flared up arrogantly beside Chu Fu’s bed, its serrated leaves swinging wildly.
Finding the right angle, she cut!
“Vrrrrrr!”
The screech of the chainsaw instantly bit into the iron chain, sparks flying.
In just three seconds, the thick chain was cut through by the chainsaw dandelion.
“Clang!”
The severed iron chain fell to the ground.
“Open the pod!”
Chu Fu immediately opened the game pod and climbed out.
She checked her body carefully.
Her frail body had grown much healthier. Because of years spent bedridden, her skin glowed pale under the sunlight, and her long hair now reached down to her waist. Chu Feng hadn’t cut her hair short just because she was bedridden and required only simple care.
She wore a hospital gown, with underwear underneath—just no shoes.
But at this moment, she didn’t care about that.
Her feet touched the ground, toes curled as she searched around.
Previously, she couldn’t use the game pod to call Chu Feng; it must have been because of a signal jammer.
It should still be here.
Sure enough, under the bed inside the game pod, Chu Fu spotted a white box standing upright with seven or eight black antennas sticking out.
That was the signal jammer.
Chu Fu grabbed the jammer and handed it over to the Climbing Ivy on the Ladder.
“Take it away, far away!”
Chu Fu thought for a moment, then her eyes flickered with an idea: “Take it somewhere crowded.”
The Climbing Ivy on the Ladder wobbled slightly, then immediately dragged the signal jammer through the security window, disappearing from sight.
Chu Fu reactivated the game pod, then unlocked the spot where the phone was stored and took out her own phone.
This was obviously not the phone from the original memories; the phone from three years ago had been shattered.
This one must have been bought for her by Chu Feng.
Fortunately, combining her memories, Chu Fu quickly found Chu Feng’s number and immediately sent her location.
Once the location was sent,
Chu Fu naturally knew exactly where she was.
“What! They actually sent me to a rehabilitation school for internet addiction?”
Who could have guessed?
Chu Fu had thought that when Wan Huanyu and the others made their move, they’d lock her in some basement of a villa.
But reality in the business world was so plain and unremarkable.
They boiled water for the money tree, heated the koi to 90 degrees, swapped Ultraman for a statue of Guan Gong, and had the cleaning lady unplug the internet!
When it came to her, they actually sent the top player who first cleared the game to an internet addiction rehab school—to keep her from playing games.
This bizarre logic left Chu Fu stunned.
But rumors outside said this place was like a den of tigers and dragons.
Not only were the surrounding walls wired with electric fences,
They also frequently shocked others, often torturing and abusing the students sent here.
Some of the people weren’t even sent for internet addiction but because they didn’t obey their parents’ wishes—labeled as “bad kids” and forcibly brought here through deception.
Just as Chu Fu was pondering this, her phone suddenly rang.
Startled, she hurriedly answered.
Chu Feng’s anxious voice came through.
“Fufu, are you okay? Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao said you logged off just now. What’s going on over there? Are they threatening you?”
Chu Feng’s eyes were bloodshot.
In just four short hours, he’d been at the police station, checking all vehicles and screening suspicious people, but hadn’t found the car that took Chu Fu away.
When Chu Fu suddenly called him and sent her location, he was almost afraid to answer—it felt like someone was holding her hostage.
Especially since Jiao Jiao Bu Jiao had just told him Chu Fu went offline!
Could Wan Huanyu have had weapons and subdued her the moment she stepped out of the game pod?
Is this call a threat now?
What made it all the more infuriating was that he had already mentioned the grudge between Chu Fu and Wan Huanyu to the Hats, but Wan Huanyu had an alibi, and the Hats lacked concrete evidence to investigate whether Wan Huanyu had orchestrated the whole thing.
Chu Feng could feel the suffocating pressure, frustration, and despair that Shen Chi must have endured back then.
Fortunately, after hearing about the feud between Chu Fu and Wan Huanyu, the Hats suddenly took Chu Fu very seriously and were now fully focused on analyzing the situation.
Unfortunately, all the leads had gone cold.
Zhao Deyu was nowhere to be found, and the surveillance cameras in Chu Fu’s hospital room were all malfunctioning. Questioning everyone one by one would take time.
What finally eased Chu Feng’s worried heart was Chu Fu’s soft, sweet voice, barely above a whisper.
“Brother, I’m okay!” Chu Fu said quietly, careful not to let anyone overhear.
She quickly relayed her situation to him.
Chu Feng let out a long breath.
“Stay inside the game pod and don’t come out. I’ll bring people over right away.”
Chu Fu was noncommittal.
“Brother, it takes at least four or five hours by car for you to get here from your side, but my experience card only lasts three hours. Instead of waiting for you, I’d rather get out first!”
Her tone was resolute.
In Chu Feng’s eyes, she was still the fifteen-year-old little sister who had been bedridden for three years like a vegetable.
But Chu Fu knew better—she still carried memories from her past life and was far from an ordinary girl.
Being protected by Chu Feng was certainly comforting.
But in the future, once the game invaded reality, who could protect her every day?
Besides, she wasn’t weak.
“No, don’t take risks. What if you get hurt?” Chu Feng tried to stop her.
At that moment, Chu Fu suddenly heard hysterical shouts echoing down the corridor.
“I’m not crazy! What I’m saying is true—the game is going to invade reality! I have an experience card, I’m a psychokinetic, I can control it! I’m just out of energy now, or I’d kill you!”
“That guy’s seriously lost it! Get the stun baton!”
