Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Uncle Wang (5 updates)

The replies below were all uniform—"I, the Divine Doctor, send money!"

The formation was exactly the same.

But they were joking, they didn’t even know where Lianyun Village was, how could they save someone.

Not to mention, the profession of a doctor is not easy to assume, in the game you need to apprentice and study medicine before you can learn it.

And what caught Fang Yu’s attention in this post was... that person had been lying down for a day, and the injuries had not healed.

In Fang Yu’s memory, any time he lay down to sleep, resting for a night, his health would be almost fully restored.

Could it be... that not every player has this? Is it a recovery effect that comes with the data-physical body?

After scanning a few more posts about injuries, Fang Yu suddenly realized.

He really didn’t know how blessed he was.

Indeed, other players in the game needed to recuperate slowly when they got injured.

Only those with strong physiques and martial training could recover a bit faster from their injuries.

But anyway, that rate of recovery was nothing compared to Fang Yu’s efficiency.

Other people needed three to five days to scab over and heal from a knife wound.

Fang Yu might need less than a day.

He had been concerned about his head injury and the scabbing before.

Now he understood, this was one of the benefits of the data-physical body.

The data-physical body doesn’t care about the type of injury, it treats them all the same, with the only difference being the amount of health lost.

For recovery, it works based on constitution, replenishing health directly instead of the slow healing like others.

"Darn it!"

Suddenly, Fang Yu slapped his thigh.

He had forgotten his instant noodles were still boiling on the stove!

He quickly ran to the kitchen to find the soup base nearly burnt off.

He scooped it up, served it in a bowl, turned off the gas, all in one smooth motion.

With his instant noodles in hand, he returned to his computer to continue browsing posts.

This time, his goal was to find someone willing to buy silver at a high price.

Because there was no means of long-distance trade, he set up a keyword filter for Tianyuan Town.

Unexpectedly, a post suddenly popped up.

"The solemn battle with the final boss after surviving the dark tutorial in the dorm room! The battle was extremely fierce, only I escaped!!"

This title... why does it feel strangely familiar??

Fang Yu was about to click into it to see.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, there was a knocking at the door.

He put down his noodles, stood up, and went to open the door.

What met his eyes was Sister Jin.

Her expression was solemn, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Seeing Fang Yu open the door seemed to bring her some relief, but then she quickly furrowed her brows again and spoke.

"Uncle Wang has passed away."

...

"Spirits, worshippers of the gods."

"Humans, worshippers of the spirits."

"Humans and spirits, both are Believers."

"Believers, they feed on demons."

"The denser the Demon Energy, the more it supplements one’s cultivation."

"In a world without demons, there would be no spirits among humans, that’s how it should be."

"But... now, that’s not the case."

"Has the world line changed? Or did Fang Yu from the past life secretly do something to quell a disaster that was about to erupt?"

Qi Xiaojin didn’t know.

In her past life, she lived too obliviously.

Before discovering the truth of the world, like a naive, spoiled girl, she chased trendy handbags and idol oppas.

Thus, she ignored too many details around her until Fang Yu rescued her, until the apocalypse came, and she finally woke up to reality.

"Without a doubt, this is the mark of the spirits!"

"Should we open it here..."

A thought flashed through Qi Xiaojin’s mind but was quickly suppressed.

The world was still stable now.

If I rashly unlock the Lock of Human Sins and disturb the boundaries, I would only hasten the arrival of the apocalypse.

And if I use up my Life Soul here, I might miss out on the opportunity in that place.

"Sister Jin! Sister Jin, wait for me!"

Qi Xiaojin immediately stopped.

She turned to look back at Fang Yu, whose brows had been tight but now relaxed, with a more gentle expression.

"Time waits for no one, it was a big fuss when I got the message."

This is the Gemini Hospital.

Uncle Wang was admitted here last night due to the grief from Uncle Zhou’s death.

Uncle Wang was originally free of illness or disaster, and after regaining his strength, he was set to leave the hospital.

But then, his family persuaded him to stay and get a full check-up at the hospital to calm his nerves, planning to return home after a few days.

Thus, Uncle Wang settled into the hospital.

And then, Uncle Wang died.

He died on the hospital bed.

A patient who, just a day prior, was lively and healthy, and even had the excess energy to flirt with the young nurses.

Died in the hospital the next day.

Such an occurrence is something that families can never accept, no matter where it happens.

Disputes, roars, rage, misunderstandings between each other, all eventually erupted into a medical dispute.

"How could Uncle Wang, who was just fine yesterday, pass away so suddenly?"

Fang Yu was filled with incomprehension.

First, it was Uncle Zhou, and now Uncle Wang.

The number of deaths in the neighborhood in the past couple of days was almost catching up to that of an entire year.

"I don’t know, that’s why we need to check it out."

"Check out what?"

Qi Xiaojin did not speak.

She also hesitated whether she should tell Fang Yu something.

But she thought of her past life, where even amidst such turbulent changing times, she still enjoyed her daily life like an ordinary person.

She secretly made up her mind.

"I can’t tell Fang Yu the truth, I want him to happily live through these last ordinary days of the apocalypse!"

"Until the day I can’t bear it anymore!"

"Until the day the apocalypse arrives, and it becomes known to the whole world!"

"In our past life, you were covered in wounds for my sake."

"In this life, it’s my turn to keep you safe!"

Life Soul, it does not matter if I have it or not!

If I encounter a spirit, unlock it, fight it!

Qi Xiaojin’s eyes flashed with resolve.

Humans are sinful.

Born with sin.

The gods fit locks onto people, and people become dogs, ordinary dogs.

Believe in the spirit, break the lock, then you can be human, if only for a brief moment.

But the cost is the Life Soul.

Life Soul, the soul of life, also known as Yangshou (life-span).

The yangshou of a person has its set amount, once exhausted, life perishes.

Qi Xiaojin does not want to die.

Having lived again, she wants to live even longer.

But for the sake of Fang Yu’s safety, she is willing to pay the price.

Bang!

The two pushed open the door of the hospital room.

Uncle Wang’s family and the doctors were arguing incessantly.

The cursing was deafening and echoed in the room for a long time.

Everyone was quarreling, everyone was acting out of self-interest.

But not a single person cared about the stiff body lying motionlessly on the hospital bed.

"Uncle Wang..."

Fang Yu looked at the corpse and sighed deeply.

One following the other, you both have left... Well, at least you have each other’s company.

Don’t worry, I’ll treat you both equally and make sure to give you a generous sum.

Nobody stopped their arguing because of Qi Xiaojin and Fang Yu’s entrance as if the two were invisible.

Only when someone from the relatives glanced over did they feel a slight presence.

The relatives demanded a substantial compensation, with the rationale that a living person checked into the hospital but left as a corpse, and the hospital was wholly responsible.

The doctor refused to admit to any hospital incidents, citing that all diagnostic indicators were normal; the patient’s sudden death was akin to a natural disaster, something beyond the hospital’s control.

At present, the relatives seemed to have the upper hand, but the situation was still very tense.

Just as Fang Yu was inwardly struggling with which side to support, Qi Xiaojin suddenly spoke up.

"Let’s go."

"What?"

"We’re leaving, let’s go back."

She saw it.

She knew what kind of spirit it was.

Unbeatable.

Qi Xiaojin didn’t mind fighting when it was necessary.

But if fighting was futile, then there was no need.

Moreover, this type of spirit wouldn’t threaten them anytime soon.
