Chapter 927: 927

Chapter 927: “Hey, Man”

“Happy, this is my boyfriend, Qiu Ming . ”

Within the physiotherapy room to aid treatment, Happy performed physiotherapy and completed various actions to regulate his body’s motor functions under the doctor’s guidance . During that time, he listened to Young Yi explain matters . “He read on the forums online saying that you woke up, so he hurried over to catch a glimpse at you . ”

“That’s right! Senior, you’re so amazing, you managed to kill a Moksha Realm elite with just two moves on the first day you woke up! That’s too amazing! I really want to call you my master now . ”

Qiu Ming stood behind Young Yi . He seemed to be quite the introvert, and he only dared look Happy in the eye for a few seconds, making him seem like a very shy person .

Happy was quite speechless when he heard this . “That sort of person is an elite?”

“He managed to steal a manual right under Master Xuan Kong’s eyes, and he almost succeeded . He is already considered to be quite good . ” The person who spoke was not Qiu Ming or Young Yi, but the female doctor who was seriously helping Happy through his physiotherapy session .

“Wha—ahem . ” Happy was very shocked . “Doctor Li, you play World of Martial Arts as well?”

“Yeah, I’m an herbalist in there, and my class is pretty high . ” Doctor was in her twenties . She seemed very young, and she was very professional in her work . However, when she said those words just now, Happy began wondering whether he should switch to another physiotherapist .

He said nothing at first . “Can you make Illusion Life and Death Pills?”

Doctor Li extended her hand and stared into Happy’s eyes . “Sure, if you have the money . ”

Young Yi and Qiu Ming were instantly rendered speechless .

“The doctors nowadays really know how to do business too well . They treat patients in the real world, and even in the game, they sell pills . ”

“Are Illusion Life and Death Pills really cheap now?”

“It’s much cheaper than before, because there are certain items that have effects which are similar to Illusion Life and Death Pills, such as Origin Returning Pill . If you use one, the one month recovery time will shrink down to half a month . There are also some hospitals that have amazing skills . If you use them once, you can cut down one week of being in the injured status . At the same time, you can also reduce some of the negative effects of the injured status on your body . The treatment fee is two million taels of silver . Even though they can’t completely cure you of the injured status like Illusion Life and Death Pill, all these alternate methods managed to bring down the pill’s price . Right now, the price for one pill is only ten million taels of silver, and only when there is an urgent need for it in the market but a lack of stock for it will the price go up . ”

“It is indeed very cheap . ” Happy frowned .

Last time, Illusion Life and Death Pills were controlled by various major forces of power, and it was very difficult for it to appear in the market .

In the other world, even a sect with such great resources as Class One Hall cannot provide a lot of it for its members, and they can only provide those pills to their core members . Usually, one pill will cost more than fifty million taels of silver . In fact, it might be even more expensive .

Ten million taels of silver was only 100,000 RMB .

“Give me one,” Happy said without hesitation .

Doctor Li was instantly stunned . “Didn’t you just return to the game? Why would you want that? Are you treating them like candy or something?”

“I accidentally died once today . Do you have one or not?” Right when Happy said those words, not only did Doctor Li look at Happy like she was looking at a monster, Qiu Ming and Young Yi also approached him nervously .

“You ran into an enemy so soon?”

“That’s not right, it has only been a while since you left the temple . How could you have possibly died?”

“Stop probing into my business . Do you have it or not?” Happy asked .

Doctor Li seemed to be a woman who had a very strong spirit for gossip . She had a thought bloom in her mind and said, “Tell me how you died, and I’ll give you a twenty percent discount . But the prerequisite for that is that you won’t lie to me . ”

“It’s before I went to the temple . ” Happy did not refuse to tell her this time . It was pretty good that he can save up twenty thousand, after all . “If you don’t believe me, you can check my current condition . ”

Right when he finished speaking, the entire physiotherapy room fell silent .

The trio stared at Happy as if he was a monster .

“You lost ten percent of your abilities, and yet you still managed to kill a Moksha Realm player in such a straightforward manner?”

“I told you, people at that level aren’t considered elites . ”

“Then just who is an elite?”

“One Emperor . ”

The trio immediately stopped talking .

“Master, please take me in as your disciple . ” Qiu Ming stared at Happy with a gaze full of admiration .

“That’s right, please take me as your disciple as well . ” Young Yi’s eyes were bright . She decided to join the fun with excitement brimming in her . “I’m very obedient . Once I master my skills, I’ll kill for you!”

Cold sweat broke out on Happy’s face and rolled down his forehead . Happy was suddenly very glad that Doctor Li was just an herbalist, or else he can forget about completing his physiotherapy session today, which will only last for an hour .

His time was very precious . “One Illusion Life and Death Pill with a twenty percent discount . ”

“Got it . ”

“I know that becoming someone’s disciple isn’t easy . Anyway, I won’t give up on becoming an elite like you, master,” Qiu Ming said, in a manner of a true idiot .

Happy just rolled his eyes and ignored him . He redirected his gaze and saw Xu Yao standing at the door with a bag of items . She was still holding a phone, and it was still connected to someone else in a call .

“It’s Blood Robes’ call . He knows that you woke up now . ”

When she noticed Happy’s gaze, Xu Yao sucked in a deep breath and answered .

The conversation in the physiotherapy room instantly vanished . Doctor Li and the other two watched Happy with worry in their eyes .

Blood Robes! The alliance master for Blood Alliance, an Inaction Realm elite, and one of the leaders for the few greatest factions of power in the Chinese server .

The only person who did not show any shock was Happy .

“Oh,” he replied indifferently, and his gaze landed on Xu Yao’s phone . “Pretty good phone you have there . ”

Xu Yao kept quiet in her shock . She did not expect that Happy’s reaction will be so calm .

“You didn’t hang up the phone, right? Don’t need to . Switch on the video call function . Let me greet him . ”

Silence .

Qiu Ming, Young Yi, and Doctor Li looked fearful .

Blood Robes clearly called to verify his enemy’s status . In fact, there was a possibility that he called to provoke Happy .

Xu Yao did not move .

Happy spoke again, “You understand how Blood Robes is . He’s a paranoid person, and if he doesn’t personally see my current condition, he might actually be unable to help himself but come and check on his own . Turn on the video call function . I’ll greet him . ”

Happy’s tone was so cordial that he did not seem to have any anger in him .

When they heard this, Doctor Li and the others finally knew why Xu Yao appeared in front of Happy with her phone .

If Blood Robes truly appeared in front of Happy, the situation might be really terrible .

Xu Yao sucked in a deep breath before she slowly turned on the video call function with a complicated look on her face . She stretched out her arm and pointed the camera at Happy .

“Hey, man . ”

Happy’s action caused everyone to gasp in amazement .

Those who did not know the situation will definitely think that Happy was greeting a good friend through a phone call, judging by how relaxed he sounded like when he said those words in a joking tone .

His expression, tone, and even smile was clearly very relaxed and natural . Not a single hint of anger or abnormality can be detected on him, and it was as if he was just talking to a friend he was incredibly close with .

“Blood Robes, you’re the first person to call and ask after my condition . Thanks for the concern, once I recover, I’ll go over and search for you . Bye . ”

A clear snap of the fingers rose to indicate the end of the call .

Xu Yao hesitantly looked away and said to the person at the other end of the call, “Are you satisfied now?”

No reply came from the other side even after a long time passed .

A few seconds later, the beeping sounds indicating a busy connection rose .

Blood Robes hung up .

*****

“How is it?”

When Blood Robes put down his phone, a pair of soft arms gently wrapped themselves around the man’s neck, and a coquettish voice rose, “Is that comatose person really awake?”

Blood Robes nodded quietly .

“Don’t look so stern, he’s just a vegetable . It has been one and a half years, even if he still retains his previous skill, it’s impossible for him to be of a threat to us . ”

The woman was completely unbothered, and she continued to tease Blood Robe’s chest . She drew light circles on his chest, but the man’s attention was not on her, and he did not react to her at all .

After doing this for half a minute, the woman finally gave up . “Just what exactly did he say that made you so uneasy?”

“It’s precisely because he said nothing that I find the situation strange . ” Blood Robes was already scowling so hard that the crease between his eyebrows was incredibly prominent .

He believed that he understood Happy quite well .

But this time, he absolutely could not decipher the meaning behind Happy’s seemingly calm smile and the tone he said .

Anger? He sensed none of it .

It was not the sort of calmness a person will have after a depressed episode .

The profound gaze and smile seemed to be supported by an invisible power, and it did not seem as if it was fake .

“He said nothing? Isn’t that even better? He knows that he is no longer our opponent, and he knows that no matter how much he tries, he cannot catch up to us . ”

“No . He said that he will come to me when he recovers . ” Blood Robes rubbed his forehead .

This was not the way he did things .

Originally, he was not bothered when he obtained this news . In fact, he already thought of how Happy will react, but the only reaction he did not expect was this, and it caused him to be unable to calm down .

“Why are you so bothered by it? Since he wants to come for revenge, what we need to do next is just to… you know . He’s just a player in Life and Death Realm, and even if he’s slightly better than the average person, did you forget that we have elites in Blood Alliance as well?” the woman said .

“Are you implying…?”

“Since you care about him so much, that means that he has the potential to become a threat . We just need to kill him again . Why do you need to trouble yourself over it?” The woman’s tone was so calm that it made it seem as if she was just talking about the weather .

“No, if we attack him now, everyone will know that it’s my doing . ”

“Does the alliance master of Blood Alliance still care about his reputation?”

“I don’t care about my reputation, but right now, he attracted too many people’s attention, and his group of people from his university have already killed me twice in succession in the past . They forced Class One Hall to be in complete chaos at that time, and if we attack now, we might end up causing Blood Alliance to go through the same thing . ”

“Then… should we wait?”

“Yes!” Blood Robes’ gaze became determined . “We’ll wait . Once the halo of him being a former elite fades away, everyone will lose interest in him, and once he becomes a normal first class elite, we’ll look for someone to attack him . Have someone from the council of elders take action . Third, Seventh, and Thirteenth will attack at the same time . ”

“The council of elders? Those people are really merciless when they take action, and you’re even sending those three over? You sure regard him highly!” the woman exclaimed in surprise .

The three codenames Blood Robes mentioned were all top-class elites who were incredibly famous in the game . All of them were in Inaction Realm, and they were incredibly ruthless when they fought .

“Since we’re attacking, we’ll naturally have to do so with the speed of lightning, and nip all threats at the bud . ” Blood Robes smiled, but his heart was cold . He will not be like everyone else and underestimate a former opponent who managed to bypass Star Sucking Great Skill will just skill alone .

Chapter 928: Plans for the Other World

It was around eleven at night, and many of the nurses and doctors in the hospital had already gone to rest. Only a few nurses and doctors on duty stayed to look after the patients and handle certain urgent situations.

Xu Yao worked hard for an entire day, and before eleven, she already changed and went to bed.

Happy could not sleep. After he got out of the game, he looked at the time, and it was 11:58 pm.

He locked the door and windows. Then, at the moment he laid on the bed, it was exactly midnight. A powerful suction force came over, and before Happy’s consciousness faded into darkness, he found himself speechless.

‘He sure is punctual.’

Midnight was the time Happy promised to meet up with the Chen Kaixin from the other world.

If Chen Kaixin ran into problems he cannot stop, he can call him over at this time.

Of course, Happy will fall into a comatose state again in this world, but to the people in the other world, he will look no different from someone who was deep asleep.

*****

When his consciousness entered another body, Happy was already back in the other world, and he obtained the authority to use the body.

“I have something to ask of you.”

“Speak up.” When he heard his own voice, Happy found that he just cannot feel happy about it. He got up from his bed and asked Chen Kaixin what was going on.

Very soon, Chen Kaixin started talking. He knew that Happy was in a hurry, and he did not waste time. He told him all the problems he faced the first time he took his body back.

He ran into some problems in reality.

Today, when he ate, since he did not dare look into Xu Xin’s eyes, there were a few times where his actions were so stiff that he knocked his chopsticks against the table, causing Xu Xin and Xu Yao to look at him suspiciously, and they kept asking him whether he did not something wrong to Xu Xin behind her back.

“…You brought me here for something so trivial? Do you intend to make me your babysitter in the future? I know that I wasn’t as useless as you were when I was still studying—”

Before he could even finish speaking, Chen Kaixin already mocked him back without backing down at all. “When you were rejected, you also got yourself dead drunk. And don’t even think about talking about the time when you got hooked up with Xu Yao. If you didn’t butt in, things would be progressing fine between us.”

“Xu Yao and you?”

When he heard Chen Kaixin’s voice, Happy was stunned, and his mind almost went blank. “What do you mean?”

“What you mean, ‘what do you mean?’” Chen Kaixin rolled his eyes.

Happy did not answer immediately.

Chen Kaixin spoke, “I know what you’re worried about. I do have good feelings for Xu Xin, and I think she’s a cute and good girl, but for some reason, after I received those fragmented memories from you, my head is filled with Xu Yao only, and every single day, I will be wondering why she betrayed me.”

Chen Kaixin’s words caused Happy to fall silent.

“You know as well that if you didn’t butt into this mess, we should have gotten along very soon and became a couple, and we will even have a good time together. That’s why my feelings for Xu Xin aren’t that strong.”

“…Continue.” Happy did not stop him from speaking.

He was originally worried that Chen Kaixin will continue to like Xu Xin and use the feelings Xu Xin had developed for him during the time Happy spent time with her to be with her.

After all, he had only fallen in love with his first crush, Xu Xin, because he gave up on Xu Yao, and the feelings he had for her were real. This was something he treasured, and he did not want anyone to interfere with it.

By the looks of it, this person did not develop any abnormal feelings during his silence. He still managed to keep his true self and a clear head.

Chen Kaixin said, “Ever since I received information from your world and learned everything about Xu Yao, I wanted to treasure her even more. I don’t want the tragedy over there to appear here, and this is something I have to thank you. Thank you for not letting it happen.”

He stopped talking before his tone suddenly changed. “But right now, I’m seriously pissed. Xu Xin is the one who is supposed to be my girlfriend now because of you, and because of you, I have to take care of Xu Xin’s feelings and not do anything to Xu Yao. Tell me, what should I do?”

Happy rubbed his forehead.

This was indeed a problem.

Xu Xin was innocent.

Even though Happy had already decided to mend his relationship with Xu Yao over there, Xu Xin had taken care of him for more than a year over here, it would be a lie to say that he can cast her away.

Happy fell silent. Chen Kaixin knew about the feelings Happy had put into the relationship, and he had nothing to say about the situation as well.

The bedroom was silent.

Neither of them knew how much time had passed when Happy spoke up again, “I’ll have to think about this clearly. Do you have other problems?”

Chen Kaixin said, “Alright, during this time, I’ll suppress my emotions toward Xu Yao and try to reduce contact with them. As for the game, based on your suggestion, I went to a branch to train, and right now, I can somewhat fight against a Moksha Realm elite.”

“Not bad.”

“But a person called Wei Zhentian sent a messenger pigeon to me, and he hopes that I can help him.”

“Hmm? Did he mention Wild Wolves?”

“Yeah.” Chen Kaixin’s answer caused Happy to instantly understand the situation.

Wei Zhentian had already begun to become involved in the fight for benefits between sects in America, and he should have already received a threat from Wild Wolves and Evil Emperor.

When he was reminded of this fact by Chen Kaixin, Happy’s expression became stern.

“Wild Wolves is very strong. Not only will they affect and have a hand in eighty percent of the profit in the game within the next few years, their leader, Evil Emperor, will become the strongest in the world. He will become the successor of Great Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. You have to be careful. Sooner or later, Wild Wolves will enter the Chinese server. In my world, even One Emperor can’t stand up to Evil Emperor.”

“Then, what should we do?”

“I’ll use your body to do certain things.” Happy picked up the VR Helmet by the bed.

“Do as you will. I’ll watch by the side.”

*****

Once he entered the game, Happy got out of a branch prison in a city near Beijing. He checked his body, and Chen Kaixin’s voice appeared again.

“You inherited Tendon Changing Classic in that world? Not bad.”

“I was lucky.” While Happy answered in his heart, he summoned Hoof Shadow, and under many of the branch members’ respectful gazes, he got up his horse and rode out of the city.

“Where are we going?”

“Shaolin Temple!”

“And why are we going there?”

“It’ll be much harder for you to get used to all I have. It’ll be better if I have you practice new martial arts.”

Chen Kaixin registered what was going on, and he exclaimed in excitement. “You want me to practice Tendon Changing Classic? That’s great! I’ve been suffering from low self-esteem the whole day.”

Happy ignored him, and once he got out of the city, he began writing letters before sending out messenger pigeons.

Chen Kaixin watched all this quietly.

Very soon, people replied to him.

The first was Wandering Know-it-all.

[I know two of the people you mentioned, and they’re part of Wild Wolves. They have close contact with the Prophet.]

When he saw the reply from Wandering Know-it-all, Happy instantly released a sigh of relief.

It seemed like Wandering Know-it-all had been working hard to take care of his powerful enemy, Prophet.

[They might all be members in Wild Wolves. If you’re free, help me monitor their location and where they’re headed, especially a person called Evil Emperor. If he enters the Chinese server, immediately notify me!]

[Wild Wolves have been very active lately. Don’t worry, I’ll keep a close eye on them.]

Wandering Know-it-all had already begun to harbor hostility to the Prophet, and this was clear from how he decided to take the initiative to monitor the people from Wild Wolves.

[Also, I need to know where the remaining slips from Sky Demon Slip are.]

[I can make a reading for those things, but are you certain that you want to get involved in them? Luring Shi Zhixuan over is no joke.]

[I know.]

He ended his conversation with Wandering Know-it-all, and Happy took the letter from Silver Wolf, which was on the messenger pigeon on his shoulder.

The reply on it was very clear and concise.

[No problem.]

The task Happy gave him was for him to train up a group of top-class elites as soon as possible. Mu Clan will provide the equipment and martial art manuals, while Silver Wolf was in charge of choosing a group of youngsters who were worth being trained.

This was not a hard task for Mu Clan, which currently had more than five hundred thousand members in it.

He also received replies from Wind Void, Phantasmal Shadow, and Night Rain Follows Wind.

They did not ask any questions but just agreed to the request of an alliance.

What Happy asked of them was an official request for an alliance.

From this moment on, the people Mu Clan wanted to fight against will be the common enemy of the alliance, and the four forces of power must carry out the decision to mobilize troops without hesitation at that time.

The three forces of power thought that Happy’s decision was made for Class One Hall.

What they did not know was that this was something Happy set up in the dark in anticipation of fighting against Wild Wolves. At the same time, he was helping Chen Kaixin set up certain safety measures.

*****

Little North’s reply was always rather lengthy. He wrote a lot, and he gave off the feeling that he was a lackey.

[Boss! Why didn’t you reply to me today? You finally remembered me now!]

Happy found himself speechless at the very first few sentences.

[Class One Hall has been chased away, and right after we rested a few days, you begin to train as if your line is on the line. I feel ashamed for even thinking about continuing to flirt with girls. So, I’m currently training.]

[There’s a saying called being vigilant even in times of peace. Continue training, and it will do you no harm. Right now, Class One Hall is being suppressed, and they will definitely do all they can to get to Moksha Realm. If you relax now, some time into the near future, Class One Hall might rise from the ashes. The only way for you to escape from being defeated by them is to be steps ahead of them. You have to suppress them fully, and only so will you be able to protect all that you treasure.]

[Alright! Even though I don’t know why you suddenly became so sentimental today, I’ll definitely train hard! Haha!]

“They’re my brothers.”

While they were on an open field with scarcely anyone there, Happy suddenly something seemingly out of the blue.

After some time, Chen Kaixin said, “I’m sorry. You told me to pretend as if I can’t receive any news. I’ll pay attention to this next time.”

“I’m not blaming you. I only hope that you can treasure all that you have right now. Sometimes, people will only start to treasure things after they lose it. I’ve already lost everything once, and I don’t want to lose them a second time.”

*****

Happy stood in the face of the wind on the cliff across Punishment Mount.

Whoosh!

His body became light, and he pushed aside all the wind blowing at him from everywhere without his feet ever touching the ground. Qi flowed around him, and he jumped more than sixty-five feet forward while he warded off the wind. Right when his foot touched the chains, he jumped. He did so twice, and he landed easily on the other side of the bridge.

At the moment he walked near the thick fog, Mad Monk’s familiar voice entered his ears.

“Ah… it’s the young patron from the Murong Clan.

“Young Swordsman Happy, your name has spread to every corner of the world because of your deeds during the war at the plains. But I do wonder, for what purpose have you come here?”

Happy’s fame and charm was actually already enough to cause Mad Monk say these words to him in this world, and even he felt incredibly elated because of it.

“Master, I heard that you have great skills, and I have admired you for a long time. I came over to try and withstand ten moves from you. I hereby humbly ask that you will not mind giving me some instructions.”
