Chapter 3 - A New Background

The first thing Tyron did was to check Pei Rong’s health, and the results were terrible.

Pei Rong’s entire nervous system was on the verge of collapse. He was only hanging on by a thread as he hung suspended in the nutrient chamber. He had remained in the virtual network for nearly a month not because he didn’t want to go offline, but because his body might suffer from the impact once he went offline.

The only way to thoroughly eradicate the disease once it had reached the later stages was to change bodies.

Technology from the Vermillion Bird Empire allowed humans to transfer their consciousness. That was to say, to use ** technology to create an entirely new body and transfer their consciousness over as the ultimate means of escaping from this disease.

But this method was very expensive. It required about 60 million dollars to have the operation done within the Chaoyang Alliance, and if one wanted more assurance and had it performed in the Vermillion Bird Empire, it would be even more expensive.

Pei Rong’s account balance: 300,000, with some loose change.

.

No matter what kind of star he was, once they reached the stage of being a household name, it was impossible to only have such a small amount of savings.

Tyron naturally went to look into it, and sure enough, he found clues in his accounts.

Pei Rong had a sister named Pei Ying. Pei Rong had been supporting her until she got married, and basically spent half of his income on his sister. Five years ago, when his sister got married, Pei Rong also took pains to set a high dowry and paid a sky-high price for the wedding celebrations and décor. He even set up a trust fund for his sister, fearing that she might accidentally lose money.

Then, two years ago, problems arose in his brother-in-law Ji Sixian’s freight company, and he was implicated in an illegal incident. In order to balance the accounts and clear up suspicion, he asked Pei Rong for help. Pei Rong had always loved Pei Ying, and after their parents died, Pei Rong considered her to be his responsibility. After his sister begged him twice with a face full of tears, he finally stepped into the muddy waters, paying money and spending effort to help resolve the matter.

Unexpectedly, another traitor soon appeared in the company. He took this matter and reported it to the rival company, and within a month, Ji Sixian was put into prison again.

In order to pay off his brother-in-law’s huge bail, Pei Rong accepted two more contracts. As a result, he had an accident while shooting one of the advertisements and fell down with internal bleeding. Internal bleeding could be fatal for others, let alone Pei Rong with his hereditary disease. With this, he ended up in the hospital, and was severely admonished not to continue filming – he wanted to continue making money, but his collaborators were unwilling to be labelled as Zhou Bapi!

He had no choice but to fade out of the entertainment industry and try his hand in the virtual network. After all, he did not have a fatal disease in the online world.

Unfortunately, Pei Rong did not have the talent required to play e-sports. His switch in careers was unsuccessful, to the point where he was placed in an even more embarrassing situation. His hereditary disease completely destroyed his body, and he really reached the end of the road.
