She spoke with calmness, her tone neither high nor low, as if discussing something as mundane as what to eat today.
Jiang Luying, however, couldnât help but exclaim in shock, âGhost Vallye?!â
Ghost Valley.
Ghost Valley was a notorious location in the game âEternity.â
Known for its extreme peril, few players dared to venture into it.
More daunting was the temperamental NPC, the Master of Guigou, who would mercilessly annihilate anyone disturbing his rest, leaving them with no place to bury.
Moreover, every corner of Guigou was laced with an inescapable poison. To enter was to embrace death, hence the ominous name âGhost Valley.â
Though death in the game didnât affect reality.
Frequent deaths could render an account useless.
Since the holographic game was linked to oneâs psyche and brainwaves, each person had but a single account.
Losing it meant forfeiting the right to play.
No one was willing to gamble with such stakes.
âJiang Luying, donât say I didnât warn you,â the manâs tone turned ominously cold. âYou might get away with hiring external help from the Miracle Doctor Alliance, but if you leak anything about âEternal,â be prepared to face the eldersâ wrath!â
But Jiang Luying seemed deaf to these words, his eyes wide as he stared at Si
Fuqing. âMiss Si, youâ¦â
âDonât worry, Uncle Jiang, Iâll help you,â Si Fuqing replied indifferently, her gaze shifting calmly to the man. âShould I show you the door now?â
âYouâll pay for this!â the man snarled, teeth clenched. âJust wait until the assessment is over, then weâll see if youâre still laughing!â
He and his cronies hastily retreated.
Si Fuqing had effortlessly taken down a dozen men the day before.
They were no competition.
And as for the Ghost Valley?
Ifit was penetrable, it wouldnât be one of the seven forbidden zones in âEternal.â
Even the elite players couldnât breach its depths. What could a young girl like herpossibly achieve?
Changfeng, who stood dumbfounded. âGet in your gaming pod, or do you want me to carry you inside?â
Pressing his forehead, Jiang Changfeng replied, âIâm on it, inside.â
Jiang Changning hesitated, then asked, âQingqing, you⦠you know âEternalâ?â âIâve played it,â Si Fuqing acknowledged nonchalantly, âbut itâs been a while.â
âMy brother said the game can be dangerous if personal information isnât guarded. You donât have any enemies, do you?â Jiang Changning expressed her concern.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âProbably⦠too many to count?â Si Fuqing looked up, her gaze wandering to the sky.
Both players and native NPCs in âEternalâ seemingly wanted her dead.
Jiang Changning was speechless.
Too many to count?
How had she made so many enemies?
âDonât worry, Iâm good at protecting myself,â Si Fuqing reassured, patting her shoulder. âThey wonât find me. Iâll go in first and have your brother bring out the herbs.â
Jiang Changning remained worried.
With so many enemies, what would the future hold?
Si Fuqing entered the room housing the gaming pod.
Jiang Changfeng was already lying inside, using a standard model.
The gameâs time ratio to reality was 4:1.
âFollow the coordinates I gave you exactly,â Si Fuqing instructed. âNot even a millimeter off, or youâre done for.â
Jiang Changfeng memorized the numbers scribbled on the paper, showing no hesitation. âGot it.â
If the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand wanted him dead, she wouldnât need such an elaborate scheme.
Si Fuqing leaned back, playing with her phone.
Minutes later, the gaming pod beeped, signaling Jiang Changfengâs logout.
He quickly exited the pod and checked the last compartment, which was no longer empty but now contained several herbs.
Just by their scent, he could tell they were of exceptional age and quality.
Even the composed Jiang Changfeng inhaled sharply in astonishment.
He had actually retrieved herbs from Ghost Valley without encountering any hostility from the Master of Ghost Valley!
Looking at the resting girl with complex emotions, he asked, âHow are you so familiar with Ghost Valley, remembering even the coordinates?â
Ghost Valleywas infamous in âEternal,â a place where even six-star players would perish.
Yet, he had followed Si Fuqingâs directions without a scratch, untouched even by the valleyâs poison.
Had it not been for the herbs in his hand, he wouldâve doubted he went to the right place.
Propping her head, Si Fuqingâs fox-like eyes curved.. âWhatâs the matter? You recognized me as the Heavenly Doctor Ghosthand, and you donât know the Master of Ghost Valley is my teacher?â
