Building a Gaming Empire From Scratch

Chapter 695: Chapter 660: The Finale of [Rehabilitation Plan]! _3

“You’re awake!” The nurse was startled and immediately said, “Don’t move! I’ll call the doctor!”

She then sprinted out of the ward like she was flying.

Within a few minutes, three nurses, a head nurse, and three doctors arrived at Stanley’s bedside.

The chief physician, whose spirit alone made him seem highly skilled, sat down by Stanley’s bed. With a serious expression, he took Stanley’s pulse and asked how he was feeling, and if there was any discomfort.

Stanley, who was initially not panicking, began to feel anxious due to the large group now present.

He didn’t even have the chance to ask why he was in the hospital, so he just answered the doctor’s questions, not daring to hide anything.

After answering the doctor’s questions, he finally couldn’t help but ask nervously, “Doctor, am I suffering from a serious illness?”

“Huh?” The doctor was momentarily stunned, “Why would you think that?”

“Why else would so many people be here?”

“Haha!” The old doctor laughed immediately, “Young man, relax. At most, you have some sub-health issues. Just pay attention to your daily routine and do some outdoor exercise when you have time.”

“As for why you feel listless now, it’s due to mild nervous exhaustion. To put it in terms you might understand better, it’s similar to mental and physical exhaustion experienced by those who often stay up late, have high stress, and overexert their brain.”

“Pay attention to your routine, sleep on time every day, and you’ll recover in at most a week.”

“Oh!” Stanley breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he finally ask the question that had been bothering him for a while, “How did I end up in the hospital?”

“Cloud Dream’s boss, Lincoln, was worried about your condition and called both us and the fire service to check on you.”

“He was worried you might develop complications, so he insisted on bringing you to the hospital.”

“Thanks to him, you were spared from being hounded by reporters all night.”

“Reporters??” Stanley was shocked once again.

“Yes, reporters have been coming non-stop since last night. The hotel next to the hospital is almost full, all of them are here for you.”

“???” Stanley was dumbfounded.

After a lot of communication, checking the news on his mobile phone, and chatting with his group friends, Stanley finally understood the situation.

Upon learning the truth, he immediately told the healthcare staff in front of him:

“I want to be discharged.”

-Lincoln would pay all his bills, so theoretically, he could stay in the hospital as long as he wanted.

But Stanley believed that the longer he stayed, the more people would question Mirage’s safety.

He knew very well that his hospitalization was purely his own fault, and the game’s massive crash was an incredibly exaggerated event. Despite this, Mirage had protected him well.

Not to mention Lincoln’s unwavering support.

If he continued lying in the hospital bed under the scrutiny of so many reporters, that would be too heartless!

Hence, Stanley was discharged.

Declining all interview requests, he held his head high and left through the main entrance of the hospital.

Only after the reporters had taken a bunch of photos as proof that he was fine did he leave with the help of hospital security and get into a taxi.

His discharge photos quickly spread across the internet, stifling many nascent conspiracy theories.

…

…

There was a lot of news about Cloud Dream, and there were many netizens tagging Lincoln.

However, Lincoln never showed his face publicly.

That’s because he was really busy on Monday, with lots of things to do not only about Cloud Dream.

Starting today, Cloud Dream would begin working on two new games simultaneously. One was set in Chang’an, and the other was a Pokémon game featuring both virtual and real-world elements.

Apart from these, new modules for “Witch” and “Fortnite” would also be released.

Also, under Kyle’s supervision, the Rehabilitation Plan was successful!

The long-requested Silent Communication Technology had finally been successfully developed by Henry.

This meant that the mute could now speak.

Not to mention – the most critical technology required for “Pacific Rim” had been completed!
