Chapter 64: Virtual World

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

When Li Xianyu woke up, he found himself lying in the ward again. This was a two-people ward. There was a bed next to him. White Lotus Sister laid on the bed, and her eyes, which were always lacking in expression, looked at him quietly.

Li Xianyu unexpectedly saw a trace of concern in her gaze. He shrank into the quilt, and felt exhausted. He was eager to sleep again, trying to remember why he was here. This feeling of “Who am I, where am I, what did I do” felt the same as coming back from death last time.

Li Xianyu’s heart jolted. Am I dead again? His brain became clear and his memory came back. He remembered that after dinner, he was attacked by the American dude in the toilet. The two parties had a big fight, and the most primitive collision between flesh began. He fought against a stronger opponent, like David versus Goliath and turned the tide of the battle.

“What’s the time now? How long have I slept for?” Li Xianyu asked.

On the opposite hospital bed, San Wu who was dressed in patient garb replied calmly, “You were sent here at noon, and it’s evening now.”

Hearing the words, Li Xianyu heaved a sigh of relief.

San Wu pressed the call button at the head of the bead, lifted the quilt and got off the bed. She approached Li Xianyu and looked down at him silently.

Her pupils were deep and bright, as if she were looking at you. It was as if she was looking at you in a daze. Li Xianyu shrank back.

“I’m sorry,” she said.

“There’s no need to apologize.” Li Xianyu was silent for a few seconds and said exasperatedly, “Your ability is like this. It’s not that you can control it. I blame myself for being too weak.”

But I am not who I used to be, I will make myself stronger. He added in his heart.

San Wu ignored his words and continued, “Buxom Great-Grandma asked why I wasn’t sad when you died. I don’t understand why one will be sad. Everyone will die, so why grieve? Lightning King told me that sadness is the most basic emotion as a human being.”

“You treat me as a friend, but I wasn’t sad when you died.” San Wu bowed seriously. “I’m sorry.”

“That sounds strange. I’ve come back to life.” Li Xianyu looked at her serious expression, the resentment in his heart slowly disappeared. He could tell that San Wu was trying very hard to learn to be a normal person. But because she had just shed the identity of being a killer only a few years ago, she not only did not understand the world, and even her mood did not have much fluctuations.

Killers were the calmest people to exist.

“Lightning King said, when my injuries recover, I will investigate the Ancient Gods Clan.” San Wu added, “I can no longer protect you.”

When it came to the Ancient Gods Clan, a burning light seemed to flash in San Wu’s eyes.

A thought flashed in Li Xianyu’s heart. If he remembered correctly, San Wu was a Class A killer of the Ancient Gods Clan. A few years ago, the evil clan was destroyed by the Big Boss of Baoze Group, and a group of remnant parties escaped. They laid low and hid.

The Ancient Gods Clan was a bona fide cult. They worshipped the ancient demons, and revered that group of ancient creatures as Gods. The cult members acted madly and were unscrupulous. Thus, they have a very poor reputation amongst the demon descendants community.

Now that the Great Deities Palace was on the verge of emerging, they were secretly investigating clues that might have been left behind by the ancient demons. They probably intend to make a comeback.

Is it really okay to send San Wu to investigate the Ancient Gods Clan? He didn’t say anything, although he had his doubts.

At this time, Lightning King and Bian Que came in. The latter examined his body expressionlessly. He diagnosed that there was no problem and nodded to Lightning King. He then turned and left.

“Elder Bian Que…” Li Xianyu shouted, “I’m very sorry about what happened last time!”

“Say no more. I, an old man, have lived for seventy years and was fooled by you.” Bian Que snorted coldly, “Anyway, we are no longer friends, do not talk to me again. If you are still thinking about your waist, I will introduce Hua Tuo to you.”

He turned and left.

The second day after Great-Grandma left, Bian Que found him and painfully compensated him with 50 points. He spoke bluntly about the Li family’s ancestral kidney deficiency, and there was nothing he could do about it.

Li Xianyu muttered in his heart, Are you intending to implicate Elder Hua Tuo in this too?

In fact, after awakening, his ancestral kidney deficiency had already gotten better, just like now, his waist was twice as good. Even if Great-grandma needed to absorb his essence, it is only a temporary kidney deficiency. He could sleep and recover.

However, the superpower of life recovery consumes a lot of cell energy. It required a lot of food to replenish as his qi cultivation was not accomplished.

Lightning King asked, “Your body has recovered after sleeping, right?”

Li Xianyu nodded, “I’m just feeling incredibly famished.”

This time when he woke up, he was not as energetic as he used to be. The familiar sensation of his body being emptied was back, and he felt weak. Li Xianyu knew that this meant that his superpowers were already overdrawn, and that his daily training was the limit of his abilities.

His fight with Ryder further exhausted his body. Even his self-healing ability was not enough to make up for the loss.

“Ah! My medicine!” Li Xianyu leaned against the side of the bed and looked around. “Where are my clothes, Lightning King? My medicine is in the clothes.”

“Your clothes are in the cupboard. I’ll get them for you.” Lightning King went to the lockers in the corner and found a box of medicine in the bloodstained pocket of his clothes.

Looking intently, he was very embarrassed, as he only knew the word “capsule”.

“Is this it?” Lightning King raised his hand quietly.

“Yes, that’s it.” Li Xianyu took the medicine, and took two pills. He gulped it down with cold water as they entered the abdomen. His heart immediately felt less panicked.

Whenever his body was hollowed out, as long as he takes two “this name is so ridiculous no one knows how to read it” capsules, his body and mind will be greatly satisfied.

He has developed drug dependence.

“By the way, did y’all manage to get the mouse out of Tongtong’s clothes?”

“You actually remembered this. Don’t worry, Battle Lady helped her out. Tongtong is young and did not think this through, but you should ask a female colleague for help. See, it caused a misunderstanding.”

Li Xianyu looked at him with a strange gaze, “I don’t understand why I need to avoid suspicion with an eight-year-old girl? Would I have unsavory thoughts towards her? I didn’t expect you to be such a person, Lightning King.”

This speech was so honest, that Lightning King was speechless.

“Li Xianyu is not such a person,” San Wu said seriously. “He only likes to look at Great-Grandma’s breasts and buttocks.”

Lightning King was shocked.

Li Xianyu was speechless.

A******, don’t say it. I, Li Xianyu still wants to save some face. No wonder you are unpopular. San·Moving Mockery Machine·I’m the Best at Getting People to Dislike Me·Wu.

“Is that Ryder alright?” Li Xianyu forcibly changed the subject.

Lightning King had been very understanding and answered, “His injuries are not mild. When we examined him, we found that his nose bridge was broken, his sternum was shattered and he had a slight concussion. His palm was also pierced by sword qi. When Sun Simiao helped him heal the wound, he found phlegm in the wound on his palm.”

“That’s not phlegm, that’s sword qi,” Li Xianyu said awkwardly. “The Americans must be furious, who asked them to be so arrogant.”

“Fortunately, they were the ones at fault first. Furthermore, a reputable young expert unexpectedly lost to you, a newcomer. He would certainly be so embarrassed that he wouldn’t continue to pursue this matter. If not for the meeting that has not been completed, and that Ryder’s injuries were rather serious, this group of Americans would have bought air tickets and returned to their old nest.”

Lightning King laughed and said, “To tell you the truth, your combat talent surprised me. In just three days, there was such a change.”

“I’m mainly taking advantage of my superpowers. You don’t know, I was beaten up the whole time. My skin was thick enough that I could wear him out.” Li Xianyu said modestly, but his face fluttered with pride.

Lightning King gazed at him, and perhaps the boy himself did not notice, but his spirit and energy had changed significantly after the battle.

“You’re famous. The whole company knows who you are now.” Lightning King patted him on the shoulder and turned his head and said, “San Wu, your mission will be delayed for a few days. Before tracing down the tracks of the remaining Ancient Gods Clan members, help to save Lady Killer first.”

I became famous long ago. Li Xianyu muttered in his heart.

“By the way, Lightning King, who is Long Aotian and what is the virtual world?’ Li Xianyu asked.

When it came to this topic, Lightning King looked helpless. “Since the year before the last, we, Baoze, have been working on a virtual reality game, which is different from the VR game that used to wear helmets. If this research succeeds, it will be a groundbreaking masterpiece, enough to leave our name in the history of virtual reality.”

“We abandoned the helmet and used a game cabin as the medium of virtual reality. Compared with the helmet with only visual effects, the game cabin has the functions of vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch and so on.”

Li Xianyu replied, “It sounds like the online game novel routine ten years ago. Umm, Lightning King, is there a discount price for the internal staff? I would like to make a reservation.”

Baoze Group’s virtual reality game was the top in the world, and far surpassed Europe and the United States. It’s subsidiary company, East Wind Technology Co. Ltd is regarded as a national pride.

If the world really developed an online game world, the creator would be Baoze Group.

“But with current human technology, it is difficult to achieve that technology. Later, Big Boss found that if there are mental power awakeners involved in the development, it can make up for technological defects. Mental power awakeners are very complex to sum up, and their primordial spirit is inextricably powerful. Old Master Qin’s ability to control things is a kind of mental power awakening.”

“Long Aotian is the most powerful mental power awakener of Baoze Group,” Lightning King stated.

Lightning King nodded and continued, “Long Aotian and more than a dozen other mental power awakeners participated in the development of the virtual world, but something went wrong along the way.”
