Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Chen saw Yousi carrying a child that was emitting a faint blue light from his body.
He felt that this scene was too strange and his instincts told him that he could not act rashly now.
Hence, he hid at the side and carefully observed everything that happened. He then asked in a low voice, “Xiao Yuan, do you know what the current situation is?”
“Hello, Master. Xiao Yuan will answer your question now. The players are destroying the blue crystals of the NPCs. The blue crystals of the NPCs are developed from radioactive substances. If the players insist on touching them, it’ll consume their own vitality.”
After listening to the AI figurine’s explanation, the blue light suddenly became stronger and stronger. Meanwhile, Yousi’s expression also began to grow more and more pained.
Su Chen felt that he could not hide any longer, so he rushed out. Yousi caught sight of Su Chen and shouted in surprise, “Why are you here?”
Su Chen did not answer Yousi’s question. Instead, he asked, “What are you doing? Do you know that doing this will hurt yourself?!”
He saw that Yousi’s expression did not have the slightest ripple, so he understood that Yousi knew this would hurt him. Yet, he still had to do this.
He could not leave Yousi to die, so he motioned for the white wolf to rush over and bite his hand when Yousi was unprepared. Then, in the chaos, Su Chen snatched the little boy away.
“Su Chen! This is how you repay your savior?! Return the little boy to me!” Yousi roared angrily.
“I won’t let you hurt yourself like this because you saved us.”
Just as Su Chen turned around and was about to leave with the little boy, Yousi suddenly rushed over and pushed him down like a madman.
The little boy rolled away. The white wolf then caught hold of the little boy and ran out of the forest.
Seeing this, Yousi wanted to chase after the white wolf, but Su Chen took the opportunity to hold him down again. Yousi’s expression was very sad and anxious as he said, “I beg you… I beg you…”
Su Chen did not understand so he continued to hold Yousi down. Then, Yousi said, “If you don’t let go of me, Youli won’t wake up tomorrow!”
When Su Chen heard this, he was suddenly stunned. He let go of Yousi, who then got up to chase after the white wolf.
Just like that, Su Chen returned home in a daze. He pushed the door open and entered, only to find that Yousi was already home. Seeing that Su Chen had returned, he grabbed his collar and said, “Where did the white wolf go with the child?!”
Seeing that Su Chen did not answer no matter how many times he asked, Yousi released him and sat down on the chair. He said to himself, “What should I do…”
“What happened to Youli?”
Yousi did not answer Su Chen’s question. He was silent for a long time before he said, “If Youli doesn’t get that NPC’s blue crystal, she’ll fall asleep and by the end of this month, she’ll completely disappear…”
“Why would Youli… Could it be?!”
After hearing what Yousi said, he thought of a terrible idea, and Yousi did not deny it. He nodded and said, “Yes, Youli’s an NPC.”
Su Chen still could not believe it.
“But… I clearly saw the photo of the two of you in her room…”
Yousi smiled bitterly.
“The photo’s real because Youli’s really my sister. However, in real life, she died twelve years ago. The current Youli’s the one I created in this game world. It’s the only way to keep her by my side. We were born into a very happy family, but when I was ten years old, our parents died in a traffic accident. There was only one insurance fund and two of us left in the family.
“As her brother, I always took care of her. Youli was also very sensible. She did a lot of things and even took care of me sometimes. She was only eight years old at that time. On the year of her ninth birthday, I was supposed to celebrate it with her, but someone at school said that I was a child without parents. So, I got into a fight and had to write a self-reflection. After that, I was in a bad mood, so I stayed out and never went home. That day, Youli sat at the door and waited for me until it was dark. She wanted to go out to look for me, but then, she disappeared.
“Later, the police found her body. After she was taken away by a human trafficking gang, she was accidentally killed because she escaped. I’ve been missing her ever since. Up until two years ago, I was studying the difference in animal life. I was on the computer until late one night, and through my sleepiness, I woke up to my computer with this game on display. I couldn’t turn it off, so I entered the game. After that, I continued to upgrade and familiarize myself with it. I met a mysterious race in a fallen forest in the west. They worshipped the cat as their God, so when I healed their God, they gave their secret treasure to me. It was Youli—a data entity formed from my memory.
“After that, I brought Youli along with me to live in Haiping Village. We were very happy… Until one day, when I noticed that Youli started to feel sleepy very easily. She even started sleeping longer and longer. I felt that something was wrong, so I flipped through a lot of books and looked for a lot of information. Only then did I realize that when you forcefully add a non-existent NPC into the game, her energy value would be consumed by the system gradually. In other words, she would slowly disappear and be erased by the system.
“After looking for countless solutions, there’s only one, and that’s to find the important NPCs with blue crystals. Because they’re tied to the game’s quests, the system won’t change or erase them. I’ve finally found that little boy, so I must get his blue crystal. I can’t let Youli leave me again…”
Yousi covered his face. Su Chen did not know what to say to comfort him, so he quietly returned to his room.
He called out to the AI figurine.
“Xiao Yuan, you should know about this. I want to know if there’s a solution.”
Even if the NPC’s crystal could save Youli, Yousi’s life would be harmed because of it. This method was definitely not the best method.
“Hello, Master. Here’s the information you seek. The winner of the Marhaz duel will be awarded a non-radioactive crystal!”
What?!
After hearing this, Su Chen immediately rushed out of the room and placed the information in front of Yousi. After Yousi raised his head and read it, his eyes began to brighten.
“This crystal…is…”
The color and style of the crystal were exactly the same as what he needed!
“Come with me to Marhaz!”
