Chapter 78: Merely Third Place
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
[Name: Xu Wei] [Gender: Female]
[Status: Soulless]
[Note: When the soul leaves the body, it will feel painless. In medicine, this state is called a vegetative state.]
After Xu Bai opened the mall, he looked at the screen that was showing the initial spin and thought of his sister, Xu Wei.
At that time, in Xu Wei’s status bar, it was marked “Soulless”!
The people in the hospital also told him that although they had tried their best to save his sister, they did not know when his sister would wake up. At that time, the chief surgeon told Xu Bai to be mentally prepared.
His sister, Xu Wei, might never wake up.
It was also because of this that the relatives at that time basically advised Xu Bai, who was still 17 years old five years ago, to consider himself and make a more realistic decision.
He gave up on saving his sister.
Rather than investing all the compensation money at that time into a bottomless pit where there was no hope or even an end, it was better to live well with the compensation money.
But…
How was this possible?
This was his younger sister. She was the younger sister he had watched grow up and called him Brother in a sweet voice.
No matter what, he would not give up. Even if the police department’s salary was insufficient after the compensation was used up, he would still work part-time to ensure that his sister’s medical resources would not be interrupted.
Xu Bai would not blame the hospital, nor would he think that the hospital was the last place to cheat him of his money. The hospital had already told him that he might run out of money and could not be saved.
He accepted this as well.
The hospital could not save his sister.
It’s fine.
She’s my sister. I’ll save her myself.
At that time, Xu Bai had placed his hopes on the system that was stuck at Level 9 because he had not received the Main Mission and could not continue to level up.
He firmly believed that if there was one possibility in this world that could allow him to save his sister, then this possibility would definitely be on the system.
At the moment.
Xu Bail s eyes lit up, and his breathing became a little rapid. He looked at the game mall that had stopped spamming after three and a half rounds.
All these years, he had never stopped farming Experience Points. Why did he accumulate enough Experience, Skill Experience, and two million Game Currency?
It was all for today. When he found a way to save his sister, he would not miss it because his level was not high enough, his skills were not enough, or his
Game Currency was not enough.
Sister, just wait. I’ll find a way to save you soon.
Xu Bail s breathing quickened as his gaze landed on the refreshed game mall.
The first thing he saw was…
From left to right, weapons, armor, magical equipment, cultivation
techniques, skills, medicinal pills, miscellaneous items, and treasures were lined up. With just a glance, one could tell that the items sold in this game mall were rich.
Xu Bai didn’t even look at the others, directly focusing his gaze on the pellets.
Swoosh!
The types of pills instantly appeared in front of Xu Bai.
It was a dazzling array. [Pill Name: Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!]
[Quality: Supreme]
[Price: One billion Game Currency]
[Description: This elixir was refined by a supreme almighty. On the day the elixir is completed, multicolored light will illuminate all dimensions. The elixir will form nine revolution cycles and become a god. After consuming it, ordinary people will consume one pill and soar into the sky!] [Name of the pill formula: Nine Revolutions Golden Pill!]
[Quality: Supreme]
[Level Requirement: Pill Refinement Technique Breaks Through the Supreme Realm!]
[Price: 500 million Game Currency.]
[Description: If you’re confident, you can try to buy this pill formula and refine it yourself. This price only provides the pill formula. It doesn’t provide the required medicinal ingredients, and there’s no guarantee of success. Once it’s sold, it won’t be refunded.]
[Pill Name: Bewitching Immortal Pill.] [Quality: Gold]
[Price: 100 million Game Currency]
[Description: This is a medicinal pill, but a poisonous pill is also a cultivation technique. If you consume this pill, you can use it with the Immortal Sealing Technique to cast the God of Lost Immortals, eliminate the Immortal soul, trap the Immortal form, damage the Immortal aura, and slay the original Immortal form to donate the Immortal body.]
[Pill Formula Name: Bewitching Immortal Pill.]
Xu Bai looked at the dazzling array of medicinal pills in front of him. However, when he looked at the prices, he felt that they were impressive even though he did not understand them. He opened his mouth and looked at the search bar above.
Soulless.
After entering his sister’s current status name, he clicked on the search button.
Soon.
In his line of sight, many medicinal pills and accompanying pill formulas disappeared. Then, in the huge interface, only one medicinal pill and two pill formulas were left.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows and looked over. [The name of the pill: Soulless Pill!]
[Quality: Red]
[Price: 200,000 Game Currency]
[Description: This is a poisonous pill. One pill can immediately make the user’s soul and soul leave their body. The effect is domineering and immediate.]
“Poisonous pill?”
Xu Bai frowned and subconsciously looked at the remaining two pill formulas. “I’m not looking for poisonous pills.”
One of these two pill formulas was undoubtedly the pill formula for this Soulless Pill. One could buy this pill formula at a price of 100,000 Game Currency, which was twice the price.
But…
This was not something he needed.
As for the last one, Xu Bail s heart was pounding. He looked at the pill formula that flowed out after the last search.
Ding!
[Name of the pill formula: Soul Restoration Pill!]
[Quality: Red!]
[Level Requirement: Pill Refinement Skill level required is Attainment.]
[Price: 100,000 Game Currency!]
[Description: If there is a loss of soul, there should be a revival. Therefore, the medicinal pill is special. The mall will not provide completed pills for sale, only the pill formula. The required consumables have to be bought by yourself, and the success rate is not guaranteed. Players can choose according to their needs.]
“I found it!”
Xu Bai was invigorated. As soon as he glanced at the pill formula, he knew that it was exactly what he needed. He subconsciously clicked on it. “I’ll buy it!”
The next second.
A notification interface instantly popped up.
Ding dong!
[Detected that the player has not met the requirements. This item cannot be purchased for the time being.]
Xu Bai was stunned. “What?”
As he spoke.
He looked at the recipe of the Soul Restoration Pill again and noticed that in the next line of quality, there was a purchase level restriction.
Pill Refinement Skill… Attainment?
Then what level am I at now?
Xu Bai frowned.
Ding!
“After successfully unlocking the Pill Refinement Skill, the player’s level will default to the beginner level. To advance to the next stage (Attainment), one has to successfully refine a pill.”
Xu Bai exited the mall and looked at his life skill panel. After checking his Pill Refinement Level, he looked at the notification panel that popped up again and took a deep breath.
F*ck!
Xu Bai cursed.
The next day.
Xu Bai opened his eyes almost as soon as the sky turned bright. He got out of bed, washed up briefly, and drove straight to a Chinese medicine pharmacy called Renhe Hall on 33rd Street.
Right.
That day, Xu Bai asked countless families. Not only did he know what the Dragon Heart Herb was, but he also said that an old friend of his seemed to know an old Chinese medicine pharmacy that had the Dragon Heart Herb in stock.
But…
As Xu Bai drove the car toward 33rd Street, he glanced at the rearview mirror on both sides of the road. He stared at a black SUV about two hundred meters behind him and raised his eyebrows.
He was being followed.
Xu Bai had seen this black SUV when he drove out of the old factory street. At that time, this car was parked at the spot where Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu used to park.
If it was a coincidence that they left one after another, then they had already passed through five blocks and eight intersections. This black SUV was still following behind him and even maintained a distance of 200 meters. It was a little unreasonable to say that this was a coincidence.
Who’s following me?
Xu Bail s mind raced.
He glanced at Renhe Hall that had just opened its door not far away. Without batting an eyelid, he drove past the entrance of the pharmacy at an average speed. At the next intersection, he turned right and drove into 3rd Street, heading in the direction of the 38th Precinct.
Following closely behind Xu Bai was the black SUV 200 meters away.
It was the same configuration of a man and a woman.
The man’s name was Zhang Hua, a Level 6 Martial Apprentice.
The woman’s name was Chu Ting, a Level 5 Martial Apprentice.
Like Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu, they were also members of the Special Disaster Response Team of Homeland Security.
Zhang Hua, who was driving, followed Xu Bai from a distance of 200 meters. From the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Ting holding a notebook in the front passenger seat.
He took out a betel nut from his pocket and threw it into his mouth. Zhang Hua, who was chewing, looked at Xu Bail s car in front of him and frowned.
“Where is this guy going?”
“Looking at the route, there’s an 80% chance that we’re going back to the 38th
Precinct.” “Back to the precinct?”
“Right.”
Zhang Hua, who was chewing betel nut, frowned and said, “When we came out of Old Factory Street, we turned left and got onto Highway 5. Then we could go straight back to his office.”
Chu Ting raised her head and glanced at the car that was still moving at an average speed. She frowned and said, “Do you think it’s possible that we’ve been discovered?”
When Zhang Hua heard this, he immediately shook his head. “That’s impossible. Please, how could a mere agent discover us?”
Chu Ting glanced at Zhang Hua. “Haven’t you seen his profile?”
“What?”
“This Xu Bai graduated with first place in shooting, second place in criminal psychology analysis, and third place in stalking and anti-stalking in the police academy.”
“Tsk, merely third place.”
Zhang Hua raised his eyebrows when he heard that. “I got second place.”
Chu Ting smiled and looked at Zhang Hua. “Xu Bai is third in the history of the police academy. As of this year, more than 500,000 people have graduated
from the police academy.”
Zhang Hua was speechless..
