MMORPG: Crowd Control

Lei Zhen was truly horrified by her conduct and wished that he had not invited her at all.

Now everything was great. He had personally shot himself in the foot and brought all these troubles to himself.

Alas, there was no medicine or cure for regrets as Samantha smiled quite wickedly.

"That was kind of rude of you to say. I'm always described as a beautiful and charming doctor by people. How could I be frightening or manipulative?" Samantha placed her hands on her chin and said cutely.

A cold shiver ran down Lei Zhen's spine when she acted cute which was effective as well. Hence, it was terrifying how versatile Samantha was.

"Alright, 2-week therapy policy session it is. I'm going to head home now that I enjoyed some of your finest tea." Lei Zhen said, trying to leave the condo the first chance he got.

Normally, people would die to stay with Samantha for each second they could get, but not for him right now. He was being labeled as a patient, and being a patient was anything but fun.

Alas, entering a wolf's den was easier than leaving a wolf's den.

"Where do you think you're going, Lei Zhen?" Samantha asked, halting his movement.

"Although it's a 2-week policy, I'm going to have to monitor your condition daily. And considering how elusive you are, I suggest you temporarily stay in the guest room, so I won't have to search for you like some detective." She added, pointing at the far east corner of the room.

"Are you sure about that?" Lei Zhen raised an eyebrow.

Flashing a sneaky and wicked look, Lei Zhen rubbed his hands together.

"A man and a woman alone in a condo. What can the woman do if the man has insidious thoughts?" He warned evilly.

Meanwhile, Samantha was completely unfazed and turned around.

And as she walked away, she made sure to give him clear instructions once he moved into the guest room. "Make sure to pack your things properly in the guest room and not overwork yourself."

"W-Wait a minute…" Lei Zhen tried to call her out, only for it to be left on deaf ears.

"Did she not get my subtle warning or did she really trust me that much?" He muttered softly, feeling inflated by the bossy character of Samantha that could care less about his warning.

Although he knew Samantha wouldn't change her mind, he still needed to go to her room and told her that it would be impossible for him to move into the condo.

After all, the MagnoPod was still in his apartment, and moving it would require a lot of muscles and money.

And just when he was about to knock on the door of her room, the exit doorbell rang.

"Lei Zhen, can you open the door for me? It's the delivery people." Samantha's voice echoed from the inside, prompting Lei Zhen to be confused by the situation.

"Delivery people?" Confused, Lei Zhen slowly walked toward the exit door and answered the door, only to realize two big MagnoPod were about to shove into his face.

"Whoops, sorry about that." Said one of the delivery people.

Lei Zhen, who narrowly dodged the MagnoPod, opened the door wider for the delivery people to come in.

"Um, where is Doctor Samantha? We'll need her facial recognition to confirm the delivery has been successful." The same delivery person asked Lei Zhen, clearly knowing the name was feminine.

"Give me a second," Lei Zhen said, heading back to Samantha's room to tell her about the confirmation process. Though it was pointless because she had already confirmed it online.

"Lei Zhen, the delivery person is probably trolling you. Facial recognition is a thing, but no one does that for confirmation anymore when they can just do it online." Samantha came out of the room and chuckled softly.

She then proceeded to head toward the living room and instructed them to just place the two MagnoPod in the open area.

"Thank you for your assistance," Samantha then thanked the delivery people.

Once they left the condo, Lei Zhen was the first to ask her what this was about.

"When did you order a MagnoPod, and two of them at that?" He asked confusingly, clearly not expecting her to be purchasing these. At first, he thought it was some of her lab equipment delivery, and never the MagnoPod which was required to play Magnolia.

Meanwhile, Samantha ignored his question and went to check on the MagnoPod, inspecting and analyzing it.

Though the most notable part was the Nutrient Solution that was equipped into the MagnoPod which was labeled S grade. Considering her reputation and wealth, getting her hand on S-grade Nutrient Solution wasn't difficult.

"Hmm, it seems like everything is perfect." Samantha nodded her head in approval.

"What are you standing in a daze, Lei Zhen? One of them is for you so move it to your guest room." She then instructed.

"Um, you still haven't told me when you ordered the MagnoPod? And why did you even purchase them from the start?" Lei Zhen asked, unwilling to move until he got a clear answer.

"Sigh, I ordered it while you were sleeping like a dead big at the opening theater. Would you perhaps want me to tell that to Jessica and Bella as well?"

"I'll move the MagnoPod right away."

Sometime later, Lei Zhen finished placing the MagnoPod in the guest room and her room as well. And of course, there wasn't anything interesting in her room at all. It was completely bland, void of any decorative designs on the walls.

After finishing installing the MagnoPod, Lei Zhen asked, "Why are you suddenly joining Magnolia? I thought you never liked games."

Samantha nodded her head.

"Indeed, I never liked games and hadn't planned on playing this worldwide sensational Magnolia either. However, I have to delve into your world to understand your plight, so that I can adjust parts of the therapy session." She explained, astonishing Lei Zhen thoroughly.
