"The countdown to the end of the internal test has already begun. The servers will officially close tomorrow, and the public beta will have to wait for another three months."
"Once the public beta starts, we can directly enter the Super Force known as Complete Heaven Sect, instantly leaving other players in the dust."
"Not to mention, we actually have an advantage that probably no other player has."
Seeing Bai Xiaomo suddenly become smart, Ju Xiaobei felt a bit uncomfortable. Did this damn thing secretly take some brain supplements without him knowing?
"We’re on good terms with Boss Liang! Didn’t you notice from that scene just now? Liang Yi, Boss Liang, is definitely one of the protagonists of this game," Ju Xiaobei clapped his good brother on the shoulder as a reminder.
"I predict that as more players join the game after the public beta, and the numbers explode geometrically, it will become increasingly difficult to gain favorability rewards. We’ve already established a good relationship with Boss Liang ahead of time, and that puts us ahead at the starting line."
"This very fact, I believe, is our biggest gain from the internal test." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
Mo Xiaobai said earnestly, filled with conviction.
"Holy shit, your analysis is so freakin’ logical."
Ju Xiaobei was not completely clueless, being one of the game’s top players. Reminded by his buddy, he suddenly felt it could indeed be the case.
"So you see, following a big shot like him guarantees rewards, no doubt about it." Mo Xiaobai spoke earnestly, but his tone shifted, and he looked troubled: "It’s just that there’s one thing that’s really bothersome."
"Oh? What is it, did the doctor give you a critical condition notice? You won’t live to see the day of the public beta?"
"Get lost, after playing this, every other game feels like crap. I just can’t play them anymore."
"Ah...right, three months!"
Ju Xiaobei also became troubled. How was he going to survive three months without this game?
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Palace, Chen Hua was looking at the unconscious disciples, both big and small, lying on a bed.
"My lord, Physician Gu has arrived," an Imperial Guard said, dragging in an elder clad in gray.
"Stop hiding, Second Gu, come over and check on my precious disciples."
Chen Hua’s impatience led him to gesture with his hand, lifting Gu Qingniu through the air and placing him next to the bed.
"Chen Chen Chen...Hua, can you not be so hands-on, you still owe Medicine Valley a favor," Gu Qingniu said.
It wasn’t that Gu Qingniu was a coward, but anyone from Medicine Valley would get leg cramps from fear at seeing Chen Hua, especially their Valley Master. Chen Hua’s ruckus that year really frightened everyone in Medicine Valley, leaving them all with psychological trauma.
"Alright, alright, no need for Medicine Valley to keep reminding me. First, take a look at my two treasured disciples," Chen Hua said with a hint of a headache, beginning to wonder if he had been too harsh back in the day. Wasn’t it just a single sword strike that split Medicine Valley in two? He hadn’t hurt a single ant, let alone any people, and yet that had been enough to scare the members of Medicine Valley to their core.
Gu Qingniu forced himself to calm down. With patients in front of him, curing the sick and saving lives was paramount.
After taking a quick pulse of Su Youyi, who appeared to have the lightest injuries, he then used a secret technique from Medicine Valley to make his diagnosis.
"Fairy Su’s injuries are ordinary internal wounds. As for the reason she is unconscious, one is that someone knocked her out forcefully, and the other is severe emotional distress, which caused a light injury to the Divine Soul due to feelings of extreme sadness and anger. Even now in her unconscious state, Fairy Su’s heart is still in turmoil."
Gu Qingniu was secretly astonished; in his many years of practicing medicine and seeing numerous peculiar cases, this was the first time he had encountered something so strange.
After hearing this, Chen Hua fell silent, gazing quietly at his little disciple’s sorrow-covered face even in her sleep. He whispered to himself with a sigh, "Oh you silly child."
Clearly, the little disciple was upset by her senior brother knocking her out against her will, and then subconsciously, she felt that her senior brother might sacrifice himself, which was why she was heartbroken to the point of despair.
At this point, Su Youyi’s unwillingness to wake up was likely more of a subjective factor, not wanting to awake to face the harsh reality.
