Sacred Souls: Genesis
Chapter 296 - Chapter 296 Chapter 286 Eternal Friends (Third Update)

Chapter 296: Chapter 286 Eternal Friends (Third Update) Chapter 296: Chapter 286 Eternal Friends (Third Update) At 7 AM, the Spirit’s Fuss Group was still very lively, its membership having reached a whopping 2000 people.

It included guild leaders from major guilds, elites of these guilds, and a number of accomplished players from among the Spirit.

Seven hours ago, the players were discussing how to take down the Apocalypse Dragon, but now the discussion had shifted to…

‘Yin Hui: Plan to rescue the most evil merchant in Spirit, who’s in Jiangcheng?’

‘Bubble: What kind of merchant? Aren’t you the biggest merchant in Spirit, Caramel Little Prince?’

‘Yin Hui: I’ve never sold anything in Spirit! Can’t you stick to the matter at hand? You all know about “Milk Added No Extra Charge,” right?’

‘Blade Swordsman: What’s up with Milk Added No Extra Charge? I bought a bunch of furniture from her not long ago.’

‘Caramel: That priest girl? I remember now! When the Apocalypse Dragon was first released, she suddenly fainted in the game. Guild Leader, a few of our members are quite worried about her. Yin Boss, do you know the inside story? @Yin Hui.’

Suddenly the messages in the Spirit’s Fuss Group slowed down, and Yin Boss sent a screenshot to the group, titled “Comatose Vegetable for Two Years Awakens.”

Initially, not many people noticed this report, but as soon as Yin Boss posted a screenshot of the patient’s photo, a bunch of players popped into the Spirit’s Fuss Group.

‘Silver Bullet Loaded: Damn! It really is the merchant!’

‘Starlight Scribe Team: How did it suddenly go to merchant? Didn’t Milk Added No Extra Charge help you beat the low-level instances when you were a low level?’

‘Hu Hai: She did! But it was freakin’ expensive. Although I coasted through, now Milk Added No Extra Charge doesn’t take people to instances anymore, just focuses on her trades.’

A lot of people in the Spirit’s Fuss Group knew Milk Added No Extra Charge. Even if they weren’t friends with her, they definitely recognized this milk maid.

Because Milk Added No Extra Charge’s presence in Spirit was just too strong. She was the only chargeable nurse in Spirit, and during the first and second trials of Spirit, there were rumors that any insurmountable instance could be overcome if this nurse was part of the team.

Blade Swordsman had a lot of respect for Milk Added No Extra Charge’s skills. Although she no longer took people on runs, the various items she sold were of enormous help to players, although… a bit pricey.

‘Bubble: Damn! Isn’t this the nurse who sold to the Dragon Speaker sisters? What… What exactly happened to her?’

‘Black-Haired Chang Qing: Milk Added No Extra Charge participated in a clinical trial called Life Medical. The project initially aimed to test a next-gen VR device called a ‘landing pod,’ which could also serve as a treatment pod and nutrient provider. I checked out the cost of participating in the project and it’s very expensive…’

Xia Shan and Milk Added No Extra Charge were both members of the Nameless Guild. Although they rarely had the chance to chat, they could roughly be considered friends. Back in the day, Milk Added No Extra Charge heavily promoted to Xia Shan to sell her mining machines.

And Xia Shan’s small alchemy machines were also sold through Milk Added No Extra Charge; the money they made together was enough for Xia Shan to consider quitting her job!

Of course, she hadn’t done so because working at the Sky Palace game platform provided her with a lot of information.

‘Daydreamer: Chang Qing sis seems to know a lot, huh? But the priest girl looks just as pretty in game as she does in real life.’

‘Black-Haired Chang Qing: Job perks.’

‘Bubble: I know who that nurse is in reality, but hasn’t she already been cured and woke up? Caramel Little Prince, you’re not suggesting the players in the group crowd-fund her treatment, are you? @Yin Hui.’

Yin Boss didn’t respond but sent another message to Bubble, a simple screenshot showing the titles of various media reports about Milk Added No Extra Charge.

The news of a vegetable waking up was big, especially since she had awakened through an all-new medical device!

Journalists from major news agencies swarmed like hyenas drawn by the smell of fresh meat.

‘Front-line Reporter: I already knew about this, initially wanted to interview as it involved Spirit players, but gave up because she had just awakened and was still too frail, but… other journalists don’t seem to think so?’

‘Starlight Scribe Team: What about Milk Added No Extra Charge’s family?’

Yin Boss uploaded another screenshot, an article from a year ago.

“Tycoon from Jiangcheng Entangled in Financial Scam? Owes Two Billion and Jailed.”

‘Yin Hui: I knew some insider details about this at the time, and couldn’t discuss them, but I can confirm that this person, whom you’re calling a merchant… both her parents are in prison now, and even if she has family, it’s likely they won’t dare to claim her, so now… who’s in Jiangcheng? @All Members.’

‘Black-Haired Chang Qing: I am. I was just planning to visit Milk Added No Extra Charge at the hospital.’

‘Happy Gaming: Go together?’

‘Daydreamer: Damn damn damn damn! Smile bro, you finally came back to life! You’ve been playing dead for so long! Ahem, now’s not the time to say this. Going there won’t attract more reporters?’

‘Happy Gaming: Can’t we just drive them out?’

‘Daydreamer: This is real life, not a game!!!’

‘Can Xin: We from Abyss Temple just happen to be in your Supreme Overlord’s venue for a match. How about we go together to lend a hand? After all, this nurse has sold us quite a few good things.’

‘Today No Updates: Instance — “First Hospital Milk Added No Extra Charge Defense Battle” opened, Difficulty: Unknown, Participants: Unlimited, Currently Participating Players: Black-Haired Chang Qing, Happy Gaming, Daydreamer, Can Xin, Today No Updates… anyone else want to go? Front row, looking to group!’

‘Mocha Coffee: Pig-headed nurse? I’m also in Jiangcheng… where is it exactly?’

‘Whispers: Boo hoo hoo so many big names, too bad I’m in Nancheng, so far! Can I still get a plane ticket now?’

‘Buy plane ticket +1’

‘Buy plane ticket +233’

A torrent of repetitive messages suddenly flooded the Spirit’s Fuss Group, but everyone was highly concerned about Milk Added No Extra Charge’s health condition.

Finally, under the coordination of Yin Boss, a group of Spirit players in Jiangcheng got into Vo IP together, completing an impromptu team formation that didn’t actually exist, and headed for the First Hospital!

……

Milk Added No Extra Charge sat on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the wall in the distance.

Everything around her felt so unfamiliar and unreal.

She subconsciously waved her fingertips, trying to bring up the Holy Spirit system interface, but it wasn’t there…

There was no health bar or MP, and the comforting backpack with its contents and Gold Coin values were all missing.

The only things that continued to assail her were the flashing camera lights and those reporters trying to squeeze into her hospital room for an interview.

Caramel really wanted to release an awakening, using Holy Light to obliterate all those reporters.

But she simply couldn’t… In this world, she was just a weak patient, who couldn’t even get out of bed.

Caramel didn’t like this world; she despised the feeling of powerlessness that pervaded her body, hated not feeling the weight of a backpack on her back.

She hated not seeing IDs over people’s heads, not seeing their health bars… and the feeling that a dialogue box didn’t pop up when talking to them.

All of it made her feel anxious and very alien.

Caramel bit her lip tightly; she had wanted multiple times to ask the doctor to send her back to the world where she truly belonged.

But she couldn’t… In the realm of the Holy Spirit, she was the eloquent swindler and the healer.

But in this world… she found that her ability to speak had faded, she dared not communicate with anyone, and there were no familiar faces. The only visitors were one unfamiliar reporter after another.

Just when Caramel was being shrouded in despair, a noisy commotion suddenly erupted outside the hospital room, then the door was abruptly pushed open.

Her mouth opened slightly, wanting to shout, “All of you damn reporters, if you don’t get lost, I’ll smash you with my Epic Cross.”

But where was her Epic Cross?

Caramel hung her head low, staring at her empty hands, and did not pay attention to the figure entering through the door.

“Are you Xu Nai?” asked the female voice.

Caramel was slightly puzzled; she hadn’t heard this name in a long time, but the girl reached out her hand toward Caramel.

“Hello, I’m Xia Shan!”

Xia Shan–now who was that?

Caramel didn’t want to think about it, but the next second…

“But the name you’re familiar with must be Chang Qing, right?”

This sentence made Caramel suddenly lift her head, looking at the girl in front of her with her hair tied in buns. If she were wearing a pair of steampunk-style goggles, a familiar figure that Caramel knew began to overlap slowly.

“It’s finally a face-to-face meeting in real life, is this an unexpected offline meetup? Big Sis Caramel?” Xia Shan said with a smile.

Caramel didn’t say anything but excitedly reached out to hug Xia Shan. Her strength was very weak, but Xia Shan did not pull away and gently patted Caramel’s back.

In the midst of emotion, Caramel whispered into Xia Shan’s ear…

“Chang Qing, little sister…”

“I’m listening.”

“When are you going to sell that mining rig?”

Xia Shan was taken aback, and finally, Caramel let go of her embrace, putting her hands on Xia Shan’s shoulders and said,

“Trust me, just selling one will make you a fortune!”

“Now is not the time to talk about that,” Xia Shan said somewhat awkwardly. “I don’t have a game backpack or a mining rig now.”

“No backpack?”

Caramel was puzzled when the reporters outside saw Xia Shan breaking in, they too wanted to barge in… but one of the most aggressive reporters was tripped and controlled on the floor by a figure wearing a mask and sunglasses.

Down the corridor, there was a bunch of similarly dressed figures, and the nurses and doctors, as if informed of something, were telling the reporters continuously that these people were the patient’s family and friends.

“I suggest you rest well during these three days of your suspension,” a figure with sunglasses and a mask walked in and said.

“President?” Caramel recognized Jiang Qiao just by his voice, “That one outside couldn’t be… haha… Laughing Lord?”

“Shush! Don’t say it out loud. He’s even more popular than you!” Jiang Qiao said as Lin Xi followed behind; if news of Zhao Mingwei’s appearance here leaked, the number of reporters surrounding Caramel’s hospital room would probably increase tenfold.

“Who are you?” Caramel couldn’t guess Lin Xi’s identity.

“Member No. 5 of the Nameless Guild, at least remember me, huh!”

“Ah? And that one behind is… Can Xin, the president? And Caramel Coffee?”

Caramel didn’t have a deep impression of Lin Xi but recognized the other figures entering the hospital room, gradually filling the originally empty hospital room with a bunch of… strangers to Caramel in real life.

“Pigheaded Healer! When are you going to sell me the wind-dried meat you promised?” Caramel Coffee, also wearing a mask, though her popularity among these legends was the lowest.

“I’ve been damn suspended by the dog planner! A full three days!” Caramel said, suddenly energized, but her heart rate soared rapidly.

“Alright, alright, it’s just three days,” Jiang Qiao consoled.

“But it seems like they are going to update to a new version soon,” Caramel Coffee casually mentioned.

This statement caused Caramel’s heart rate to skyrocket! A new version meant endless treasures of Gold Coins! The prerequisite was… she had to be completely prepared very early.

“Quick, call the healer! I mean, call the doctor! Is the doctor here?” Jiang Qiao, seeing Caramel’s rapidly ascending heartbeat and blood pressure, immediately yelled out the door.
