Hai Lan had also informed Jiang Qiao that the Dragon Sabertooth Tiger was about to evolve.
"If anything goes wrong … just … kick it offline."
Jiang Qiao was currently being hugged by Not Increasing Milk, so his voice sounded a little breathless.
"I'm watching. Jiang Qiao, what's wrong with your voice?"
"It's fine. Watch carefully, don't let anything go wrong!" Jiang Qiao finally broke free from Not Increasing Milk's embrace.
Hai Lan didn't care about Jiang Qiao's situation. She focused all her attention on Granny Li and Qiu Qiu.
The Dragon Sabertooth Tiger was currently level 65. The light that gathered around its body caused its level to rise rapidly.
Qiu Qiu was a native creature of Chaos Island, so its level wasn't limited by Hai Lan's Divine Shard. Thus, when it couldn't suppress the energy in its body, it quickly rose from level 65 to level 70.
Its body also grew a lot fatter, growing from two meters in diameter to three and a half meters in an instant. Its originally pale gold fur was also gradually turning dark gold.
Qiu Qiu's evolution also put a lot of pressure on Granny Li's mind. Granny Li already felt a little dizzy, and breathing became a little difficult.
"That …" Hai Lan was already hesitating whether she should forcefully kick Granny Li offline.
However, Qiu Qiu's evolution was much faster than Hai Lan had imagined. Level 70 wasn't its limit. In an instant, it leveled up again, to level 71, then level 72, and this continued until it reached level 75.
In Saint Ghost, levels were only relative. The difference between players might be five levels, but for creatures other than Hai Lan's creations, levels weren't an insurmountable gap for players.
The simplest example was that even if a player faced a Lord-tier monster that was twenty levels higher than them, they could form a party of forty-five people and still have a chance of killing it.
Qiu Qiu wasn't a Lord-tier monster, but an Elite monster … Even if it had reached Level 75, it would still be toyed with by some of the higher ranked Players on the Celestial Stairway.
"Teacher!" Wan Xiang saw her teacher's abnormality, but Qiu Qiu's evolution came to an end.
The light on its body completely blossomed, shining in the alley. When the light dissipated, Qiuqiu's appearance was completely new. Originally, it could still be seen that it was a tiger, but now, Qiuqiu's characteristics were closer to that of a dragon.
However, it was still a round ball so fat that its limbs couldn't be seen.
Not long after the light faded, Wan Xiang found her teacher unconscious on the ground.
"Wuwuwu …"
"That … What happened to Teacher?"
Wan Xiang, who had always been reserved, was really anxious at this time. She asked Hai Lan anxiously. Hai Lan didn't know what to do.
"She's holding on, but I don't think the contract between her and the Dragon Vein Saber-toothed Tiger is broken. From the data of Detection, her mental power has increased …" Hai Lan had no idea why Granny Flower Li had fainted.
The reason why Hai Lan didn't forcefully kick Granny Li offline was because at the last moment of Qiu Qiu's evolution, Granny Li managed to hold on. Not only did she manage to hold on, her spirit also increased slightly. This could be considered as an upgrade for both her master and pet.
However, Granny Li Hua had lost consciousness. Logically speaking, her mind should not have suffered any damage.
Night Fragrance wanted to ask something, but Granny Li's character disappeared from the ground. Night Fragrance quickly reacted and logged off as well.
After logging off, she opened her eyes and walked out of the gaming pod. On the other side, a group of people was already in a mess.
Evening Fragrance was still in the martial arts university campus. It was impossible for a martial arts university's student dormitory to have such high-end equipment like a gaming cabin, not even VR equipment.
Recently, holographic projection technology and VR equipment were popular all over the world. Martial arts universities naturally had their own departments and clubs. As a student of Academician Li Hua, Night Fragrance could naturally come over to borrow equipment when she had no classes.
But now something had happened to Academician Li Hua!
She had fainted while playing in the gaming pod.
When Night Fragrance walked out of the gaming pod, she could already hear the ambulance outside.
"Junior Lin!
Weren't you playing Holy Spirit with Academician Li Hua?
What happened? "
The person in charge of the department saw Night Fragrance and immediately went forward to question her.
Although Night Fragrance was a top student of Martial Arts University, most people thought that she was able to join Academician Li Hua's research team as a first-year student because she was qualified to play the Holy Spirit game.
Therefore, in the eyes of most seniors and teachers, Night Fragrance was more like Academician Li Hua's little follower.
"I …" Night Fragrance looked at the eyes of the people around her and took a step back, a little afraid.
Night Fragrance was not a child who was good at socializing. She hated communicating with strangers, especially in situations like this where she was questioned by strangers.
"Tell me!
Now is not the time to hem and haw. "
In this urgent situation, the others couldn't care less about what Night Fragrance was thinking.
In this state of panic, Night Fragrance's choice was to turn around and escape the department's laboratory.
"Junior Lin!"
Night Fragrance couldn't care less about the somewhat puzzled shouts behind her. Not long after Night Fragrance ran out, she bumped into someone. When Night Fragrance raised her head to apologize, she realized that the person in front of her was Jiang Qiao.
At this moment, Night Fragrance couldn't hold back the grievances in her heart anymore. She grabbed the clothes in front of Jiang Qiao with both hands and pressed her forehead against Jiang Qiao's chest, sobbing softly.
"Ugh … I'm here … it'll be fine."
Jiang Qiao looked down at Night Fragrance and the pleasant smell on her body. He didn't know where to put his hands. He wanted to gently pat Night Fragrance's head, but in the end, he put his hands on Night Fragrance's shoulders.
"I've heard about Granny Li. Do you want to go to the hospital with me?" Jiang Qiao's words weren't meant to comfort Night Fragrance.
Although Hai Lan liked to eat a little, she could still be relied on when it came to player matters. In theory … the reason Granny Li fainted wasn't because she couldn't withstand Qiu Qiao's power. She withstood it, and from Qiu Qiao's evolved power, she also absorbed a portion of it to improve herself.
Simply put, Granny Li also received a certain degree of improvement, but Jiang Qiao couldn't say what the feedback would be in the real world. Jiang Qiao's most direct guess was that this old granny would definitely live for more than a hundred years, or even a hundred and ten years.
With Jiang Qiao's comfort, Night Fragrance found someone to rely on, and gradually stopped sobbing. Behind Night Fragrance, a group of third and fourth year seniors, as well as department heads, came running out. At the same time, an ambulance stopped in front of the building.
A group of doctors and nurses rushed in with stretchers in their hands.
"Get out of the way, don't block the way."
Jiang Qiao said to his classmates, and then stood with Night Fragrance in the corridor. Finally, they watched as the unconscious Granny Li was carried out of the building on a stretcher.
