Chapter 10: Personally Administered Treatment

“Save her! Of course, save her!”

“Just tell me how much I need to top up! I’ll take out a loan to get it for you!”

Seeing his e-girlfriend lying on the ground on the verge of death, Chen Anping had clearly lost his head. He stared intently at the pop-up on the game, waiting for the top-up prompt.

[Top up ¥6 to unlock the first form of Golden Needle Meridian Unblocking. If successful, there is a 50% chance of healing her. Top up ¥88 for an on-the-spot revival, but it will break the seal within her body, causing irreversible damage.]

Chen Anping was thoroughly depressed.

All that money he’d spent before, and it turned out he’d only seen the tip of the iceberg!

However, he was glad the system was being relatively conscientious this time. He could get treatment for just six yuan, but…

“What about the other fifty percent where she isn’t healed?”

Chen Anping’s question received no response, which in his eyes was clearly a huge trap.

But what would be the consequences of breaking the seal the system mentioned?

There was no time to think!

Chen Anping knew that for any injury, the sooner the treatment, the better. If it was delayed, even the highest level of treatment would be useless.

This game was so realistic, it must have this rule as well.

“Top up six yuan!”

[Top-up successful. Unlocked Golden Needle Meridian Unblocking First Form (Spiritual Rhyme Divine Art)]

Spiritual Rhyme Divine Art.

On the Firo Continent, everyone cultivated for no other reason than to have a few more specks of spiritual rhyme in their bodies.

This was the foundation of cultivation. As long as the spiritual rhyme in the body did not dissipate, one could be healed through external means.

If the spiritual rhyme dissipated, not even the gods could save you!

The Spiritual Rhyme Divine Art was a method to control the spiritual rhyme within a cultivator’s body.

Chen Anping stared blankly at the introduction to the first section of the Spiritual Rhyme Divine Art, his eyes filled with emotion.

(Spiritual Rhyme Divine Art is not only effective for those who are already cultivators, but also for ordinary people.)

Hiss…

Chen Anping couldn’t help but praise the designer of this game as a true marketing genius.

It made every player with an e-girlfriend feel as if they were truly there.

Not only were the in-game models almost indistinguishable from real people, but even parts of the plot were completely similar to the real world.

Only now did Chen Anping realize there were a full one hundred and eight silver needles, each of varying length and thickness.

[Please take out the longest silver needle and insert it into Xu Lingqing’s Shenque acupoint. At the same time, take out seven slightly shorter silver needles and fix them around it, to control the eight specks of spiritual rhyme in her body.]

The Shenque acupoint is the root of human life, the location of the dantian.

Operating eight silver needles at once!

Although Chen Anping had experience controlling the silver needles, he was now so anxious that his head was covered in sweat. He held the needles, not daring to press down.

On the game screen, eight chaotic light spots were ramming around inside Xu Lingqing’s body. These were the eight specks of spiritual rhyme that had mutated, triggering the seal. The backlash crawled through her body like a venomous snake, each bite causing her unbearable pain.

“It hurts… it hurts so much…”

As the screen gradually zoomed in, Chen Anping could clearly see her flawless navel. Two inches above it was the Shenque acupoint.

He swallowed hard, then held his breath, carefully yet forcefully plunging the needle in.

Instantly, seven more silver needles followed, and the eight needles became one. The eight specks of spiritual rhyme that had been rampaging inside her were immediately brought under control.

“Phew…”

“So being a doctor is this tiring!”

Chen Anping let out a breath of turbid air, unable to help but think of his childhood dream.

Ever since he was young, he had dreamed of becoming a doctor. After healing everyone in the world, his parents would naturally come back to find him.

Now, with so little time left, could that dream still continue?

Chen Anping gave a bitter smile, his gaze turning to the west. “Mom, Dad, can I see you one more time before I die?”

With the rampaging spiritual rhyme in her body under control, Xu Lingqing fell unconscious, sleeping by the pond.

Chen Anping stared intently at the phone screen. If anyone dared to harm his e-girlfriend now, an Immortal Fire Talisman would be sent their way!

That night.

Chen Anping didn’t sleep a wink, watching over Xu Lingqing all night.

For the first time, Xu Lingqing slept so peacefully at night, because she knew a ‘senior’ was silently watching over her.

Six o’clock the next morning.

The first ray of sunlight shone on the park bench.

Chen Anping’s lips curled upwards, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction for a moment. On the game screen, Xu Lingqing had already woken up.

She casually took off her outer clothes and jumped into the pond to wash her slightly dirty skin.

Just as Chen Anping was about to zoom in on the screen to follow, one pop-up after another blocked his view.

[New today: Raging Fire Talisman Gift Pack, Battle Pass Gift Pack, Empress Heart Sutra Lottery.]

“What about the sign-in? Why is there no sign-in gift pack?” Chen Anping asked doubtfully.

He already understood the game’s usual tricks. He could only let out a helpless sigh and tap on the Battle Pass Gift Pack.

Top up ¥38 to continuously receive rewards, based on Xu Lingqing’s cultivation level.

(Can top up ¥138 to receive the Body Tempering realm rewards in advance.)

Empress Heart Sutra Lottery: Top up ¥10 for one draw from the prize pool. Guaranteed to get a random item, with a five percent chance of getting the Empress Heart Sutra manual.

(Guaranteed to get the Empress Heart Sutra after a cumulative one thousand draws.)

Raging Fire Talisman Gift Pack: Top up ¥6 to get six Raging Fire Talismans (instant cast).

Chen Anping secretly despised the game designer. “As expected, nothing good comes for free!”

“Hmph! Give me back the Raging Fire Talisman I wasted just now! That was a big steamed bun!”

…

The Violet Gold Cymbals floated back to Jialan Academy. It was already evening.

After coaxing Senior Brother Wan Shaohui away, Tang Anni turned and went to Zou Yongzhi’s secret chamber.

Zou Yongzhi was the Great Elder’s third disciple and had always been suppressed by the head disciple, who took all the limelight.

But those who knew them well knew that Zou Yongzhi’s strength was at the sixth heaven of the Origin Opening Realm, while Wan Shaohui was only at the fourth.

If Zou Yongzhi had arrived half a year earlier, the position of head disciple would have surely been his.

Zou Yongzhi sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber, his mind unable to focus on cultivation. His thoughts were filled with the promise Tang Anni had left him.

“Third Senior Brother, as long as you help me retrieve the complete Extreme Ice Body, I will be your woman.”

At this thought, an irrepressible fire of desire grew in Zou Yongzhi’s heart.

Knock, knock, knock…

A knock on the door. Zou Yongzhi had already smelled the scent of his beloved in the air.

He eagerly opened the door to the secret chamber and immediately embraced her.

“Anni… why didn’t you come find me during the day?”

Tang Anni pretended to be weak, wriggling her waist and pressing her delicate body against his arm.

“Mmm… Grandpa said I’m not allowed to go out during the day. He also said there are mighty figures outside Jialan Academy, so I could only sneak out to find you at night.”

Zou Yongzhi’s heart instantly exploded. He never thought she loved him so much, willing to risk her life to sneak out for a rendezvous with him.

A blush appeared on his face. He released her and took out a special pill from his hand.

“My treasure, this is a gift I prepared for you!”

Tang Anni accepted the pill, bit her lip, her eyes媚眼如絲, “Third Senior Brother, you promised me… why are you calling me treasure.”

Zou Yongzhi’s breathing quickened, his eyes filled with desire. “Anni, just you wait, Muyang will be back soon.”

Tang Anni poked his chest with her finger, her red lips slightly parted. “Then I’ll just wait here for a while!”

Rumble…
