Zhao Mingwei sat on the hospital bed and quietly looked at the scenery outside through the window.
More than half a year had passed, some interesting things had appeared on the streets of Upper City, and that was projection … The traffic lights had been gradually replaced by projectors, and some businesses had even installed holographic projectors beside their shops to attract attention.
From these holographic projectors, one or two Inner World players from Holy Ghost could occasionally be seen riding their mounts.
Someone knocked on the door of Zhao Mingwei's ward, and his attending doctor walked in.
"Mr. Zhao, the healing speed of your left hand is indeed … amazing, but it is still a comminuted fracture. For safety reasons, it will take another week or two to remove the cast."
Zhao Mingwei's attending doctor sat beside Zhao Mingwei's bed and tried to dissuade him.
"I understand."
Zhao Mingwei didn't refute the doctor's opinion, and after lightly nodding to express his willingness to cooperate with the treatment, the attending doctor left Zhao Mingwei's ward.
Zhao Mingwei was now in a separate ward, and his friends from Pulsating Nucleus would often come to visit him. The hospital fees were paid by Jiang Qiao, not by Mr. Yin, but by Jiang Qiao.
Zhao Mingwei wanted to refuse at first, but Jiang Qiao thought that a president should do something that a president should do, and paid for Zhao Mingwei's treatment fees.
The result was that Hai Lan had to eat bread for about a week, and it was extremely miserable.
Zhao Mingwei's injury this time had multiple lacerations in his muscles, and his left arm had a light comminuted fracture. If it was an ordinary person, this kind of injury would require at least two to three months in bed to recover.
But Zhao Mingwei's recovery speed was so fast that it even alarmed the hospital. In the nine days of hospitalization, Zhao Mingwei's attending doctor changed one after another. If it wasn't for Jiang Qiao's warning, he would probably be surrounded by reporters and be on all kinds of trending topics.
In the nine days, Zhao Mingwei didn't undergo any surgery, and his injuries had mostly recovered. The fracture in his left arm had also healed to the point where he could barely move.
Zhao Mingwei hadn't logged into the Holy Spirit for a while. All he could do was keep scrolling through his phone, checking the Holy Spirit's forum, and watching something called "Holy Spirit's Deceptive Moments" on YouTube to relieve the sadness of dying without the Holy Spirit.
Today, as usual, Zhao Mingwei aimlessly scrolled through YouTube. In the end, a video posted by the Vivacious Nuclear Guild caught Zhao Mingwei's attention.
The title of the video was "Dunsie's Declaration of War". This video was not very popular, far less popular than videos like "The Holy Spirit's Idiotic Blunder".
However, it was announced by the official account of Viva Nuclei, so its popularity barely maintained at the twelfth place on YouTube. It did not even enter the top ten.
The content of the video … was also very boring. For the cloud players on YouTube and some players like Zhao Mingwei who relied on lame videos to make a living … it was indeed very boring.
The content was nothing more than the confrontation between Deng Isis and Mr. Yin at the Pantheon Parliament.
"The Jumping Nucleus has discovered another hidden plot?"
"It should be the prelude to a new dungeon. Are the stupid developers finally going to open the dungeon for the final battle on the Black Tide Island?"
The comments on the bullet screen looked very … normal in Zhao Mingwei's eyes. They were all commenting on Deng Isis's provocation from the perspective of players and cloud players. It was nothing more than a cinematic that a boss would have before the final battle.
"Ye Linna?
I remember this NPC is indeed in the Vivacious Nuclear Stronghold. What's the reward for handing her over to this boss? "
"This NPC seems to be the only one, but logically speaking, she should be able to spawn in other places."
It was not until Deng Isis raised the condition of handing over Ye Linna that Zhao Mingwei could no longer maintain his composure and continued to stay on the sickbed.
In the eyes of most players, NPCs were items that could be used to exchange for quests. There wasn't much of a difference between them and NPCs. Perhaps only Freia would cause their hearts to waver, causing them to keep calling her 'wife, wife, wife'.
Ye Linna, a very, very ordinary village girl who lived in the Vivacious Nuclear Stronghold, did not have as many feelings as the players, except for Zhao Mingwei.
Zhao Mingwei opened the Holy Ghost Catfight Group. He edited a paragraph to send to the group, but at this time, the group happened to be discussing the declaration of war that Boss Yin had sent to Youtu.
In particular, Remnant Heart specifically asked, "Boss Yin … What's the reward for handing over Ye Linna in your stronghold?
Do you know? "
Zhao Mingwei was silent for a moment. After deleting the text he had originally edited, he stood up from the sickbed. Although his left hand was still bandaged, it did not hinder his movement.
He did not care that he was still wearing the hospital gown. He changed into a light jacket, put on a cap and a hoodie, and walked straight out of the ward.
Along the way, Zhao Mingwei bypassed the patrolling doctors and nurses and arrived at the internet cafe next to the hospital.
"Computer." Zhao Mingwei threw his ID card in front of the girl and said.
"Ten bucks an hour for the VR … You … You …"
"Computer." Zhao Mingwei slapped twenty bucks on the table and looked at the girl. "Keep it a secret for me."
She was so excited that she could not speak. After nodding repeatedly, she watched Zhao Mingwei disappear around the corner of the internet cafe with his ID card.
Ever since the holographic projection exhibition, Zhao Mingwei's reputation did not diminish after his retirement. Instead, he became the number one esports player in China. Now that Zhao Mingwei was recognized on the street, he could enjoy the treatment of a celebrity.
But fortunately … Zhao Mingwei's Stealth skill was not bad. He found a machine, and although his left hand could not move, he could do the most basic operations after going online.
…
After the Vivacious Nuclear Stronghold, Wen Enna finally followed the Mistress to the world of the Holy Ghost … Brandt Island.
But after coming to this island … What happened?
"Mistress, I feel a strange sense of joy in my heart."
Wen Enna had been holding back her laughter ever since she entered the island. If she was on Kuroshio Island, then on Brandt Island, it was as low as watching a Holy Ghost wearing a rainbow unicorn mask walk in front of her.
She almost had a stomach ache from holding back her laughter.
"Because the chaotic consciousness of Brandt Island is mostly happy, happy, and joyful."
The Mistress had a happy smile on her face. "Unlike the hatred and greed of Kuroshio Island, although you are not a child of Brandt Island, you will still be affected by the hive consciousness of the island."
"Will the gods be affected as well?" Wen Enna felt that the atmosphere of the Vivacious Nuclear Stronghold was joyous, like the New Year.
Originally, the gods that were recruited by the Vivacious Nuclear Stronghold had the mentality of taking a gamble. It was a bit like being recruited by a black-hearted coal boss into a black-hearted coal mine. They were willing to risk everything for their family and livelihood.
But when they came to take a look, they realized that it was not a black-hearted coal mine, but a newly opened amusement park with great benefits.
"Yes, the Holy Spirits have probably grasped some power of the abyss. If the gods are interested in that Holy Spirit, it is not as simple as liking her. What a cunning bastard."
The Mistress seemed to have sensed something as she slowly walked towards the girl who was watering the herb garden.
"You two are new here too?"
Ye Linna felt the gaze of the Mistress and that … Miss Wen Enna. She suddenly looked up at the two strangers standing at the entrance of the herb garden.
"An unawakened master of the island. I'm afraid this is what Dunheath wants. But to me, it is also a tonic."
The Mistress opened her eyes slightly again, and her pupils reflected Ye Linna's vigilant expression. "Not only can it restore my power, but it can also indirectly control the entire Brandt Island."
"What?
You want to fight? "
Ye Linna felt that the Mistress was up to no good. She put down the watering pot and made a 'Muay Thai warning' gesture.
Qi slowly flowed out from Ye Linna's body … Miss Spell Stealer, of course, knew what this Qi was. She immediately shielded the Mistress behind her.
"Although the Mistress is not a Holy Spirit, she is still very dangerous."
Ye Linna, who was originally poised, felt a great pressure from the Spell Stealer in front of her. Although Ye Linna's Qi had improved a little, she was only level 45.
As for Wen Enna, she had already reached level 60!
A whole 15 levels difference!
The worst thing was that Ye Linna's current battle mode was at most an Elite monster.
But just as the atmosphere gradually became tense … the roar of a dragon and tiger behind Wen Enna completely tore the tense atmosphere apart!
