Chapter 70: Chapter 70 – The Start Of The Game

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

What happened?

Ren Suo looked at his arm. A green jade-looking tattoo appeared on it. The tattoo glowed as soon as a gust of smoke entered it!

At this moment, Ren Suo felt lighter and ‘cleaner’ too.

To put it simply, it felt as though he let out a big smelly fart.

He touched the tattoo and received a message instantly:

[Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo]

[Grade: 2-star Prop. Prerequisite: A fully-developed breathing system.]

[Effect: When equipped, the player would be able to breathe normally in any water environment. The player’s vision and hearing abilities would also be slightly increased. The player’s swimming ability would increase significantly, and the effect of water pressure would be drastically reduced.]

[Conditional Effect:Upon satisfying the condition of ‘Defeating the arbitrary demon’, the jade will purify the contaminated reiki. During the purification process, it will also purify the player’s reiki, causing a slight increase in the player’s experience level.]

[Note:There is a tinge of warmth on the crystal clear jade piece, which looks like the blood of the legendary Monk Slayer Demon.]

Soon enough, the green tattoo slowly disappeared, and Ren Suo finally understood what just happened.

Once Ren Suo obtained the ‘Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo’, it was only natural for him to equip it as he had an empty equipment bar.

However,there was a hidden effect behind the ‘Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo’, which would only surface upon the defeat of the demons. Although he wasn’t sure whether the purification of his Reiki would benefit him significantly, the slight increase in his experience level had already caught him by surprise.

However, the hidden effect of the ‘Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo’ might be the reason why Ren Suo instinctively fought the enemy previously.

Although it may have been a successful fight this time, no one knows for sure what will happen if Ren Suo were to act rashly against another BOSS…

He didn’t have the genes of the champion warrior. Hence, Ren Suo wasn’t invincible.

Using the same logic, he also doesn’t possess the power to lock up the demons. The hidden psychological effect of the ‘Jade Pendant of the Goddess of Luo’ shouldn’t be that significant. As long as Ren Suo placed extra concern over his emotions,he would be able to control it better.

As a preventive measure, Ren Suo decided to look for an empty space for the Jade piece. He will only equip it when he actually faced the demons, to see whether he is able to control his emotions.

“Brother Liang! Brother Liang! Call 120 quick! It seems like Brother Liang cannot make it through!”

Ren Suo looked over and saw the cops that resisted the teenager, who was now being carried to the podium. The former was receiving emergency treatment. Ren Suo asked the 2 cops beside him to continue suppressing the teenager and went over to find out more about the situation.

The one performing emergency treatment on the injured policeman was the one Ren Suo had pushed away earlier, and she frantically said, “I think Brother Liang had broken a few of his ribs, which also pierced through his internal organs…”

The injured policeman was subconsciously vomiting blood profusely and was hyperventilating. Fearing that the policeman may not make it through, Ren Suo squatted down and said, “Let me treat him.”

He placed one hand on the injured policeman’s chest and secretly equipped the [Heart-strengthening] ability.

With one main ability slot and two spare ability slots, Ren Suo placed his most commonly used [Clothes] and [Lock]. As for the [Heart-strengthening] ability, it was only there for precautionary measures. However, Ren Suo actually managed to put it to good use.

[Heart-strengthening] ability had no special effects, as Ren Suo only felt that he transferred some of his Reiki into the injured policeman’s heart. However, the injured policeman immediately had his breathing regulated and stopped vomiting blood. The colleagues at the side were very thankful for what Ren Suo had done, while he just waved his hand and went back to look at the teenager.

The bureau and the police came over in a matter of seconds, and although an Awakener was involved in this incident, it was still necessary for the police to take down statements for the investigation. After a grueling one hour, Ren Suo still had to head back to the bureau to explain what had happened all over again.

At the bureau,Ren Suo was personally interrogated by Yu Kuangtu. No one knew why he was still at work when it was already so late.

“Hmm…so it really exists? Is it possible to find its descendant…”

Yu Kuangtu saw Ren Suo walking in, and he slowly placed his phone down.

“Please take a seat. Ah, so many issues popped up as soon as I came back.”

He still had his nonchalant image, as well as his charisma. Ren Suo was very careful with his answers to the questions that were posed to him.

After asking some basic questions and details regarding the incident, Yu Kuangtu paused for a moment and asked, “Are you ‘Awakened’ yet?”

Ren Suo was stunned, but he didn’t look at Yu Kuangtu, so the latter could not see his expression.

“Finally, there were updates from the hospital. The doctors and nurses felt that it was weird for a body to have its organs functioning at its optimal state even though the policeman had suffered multiple internal bleeding and injuries. They suspected that we had given him some sort of special potion, but I dissuaded them.”

Ren Suo took a moment to ponder and felt that he could afford to let them know that he was the one who gave the injured policeman the “special potion”.

Yu Kuangtu explained that the skill of Awakeners is no longer as closely researched upon by countries as compared to the past and that he would just have to register the license for his skill. Also, employees that are Awakeners will also receive an additional bonus of 3000 yuan every month.

“I am an Awakener,” Ren Suo said with gusto. “I have the ability to keep a severely injured person alive for a few more hours.”

Being afraid that they may expect too much from him, Ren Suo chose not to let them know that the ‘few hours’ was actually 12 hours.

“Hmm…not bad. Yours is a form of rare healing technique,” Yu Kuangtu said.

Alright, you shall stay in the team for the next few days. You will soon have more important missions as long as everything goes smoothly.

The phone rang, and Yu Kuangtu picked it up. He then hinted at Ren Suo to leave.

“What? The new episode is out?”

Ren Suo let out a sigh of relief and left the office.

Time to head home and play games…

It was such a hectic day, and it felt more like a weekday rather than a weekend.

Only games can get me excited!

Back at home, Ren Suo cooked up a meal and enjoyed his instant noodles. He proceeded to play his game while lying on the sofa.

[Over My Dead Body] was currently loading, but Ren Suo remembered that [A Strong Warrior Ascends 10,000 Meters] loaded in a matter of seconds.

However, none of these were as important as the [Holy Priest: Survival Battle]!

Ren Suo had only one purpose for buying the [Holy Priest: Survival Battle]. It was to obtain the exclusive reward, [Healing touch]!

This is the first time Ren Suo saw an exclusive reward that is magic-related!

Also, based on the name of the reward, it is also a healing skill!

If Ren Suo was unsure previously, regarding the effect of the skills he obtained from the games, the application of the [Heart-strengthening] ability had basically proved that he is able to use such skills in reality. So, if he were to get a healing skill…

Needless to say,Ren Suo can say goodbye to cough and flu. Of course, another possibility would be that the healing skill can only improve his immune system, that’s all.

However, that was all Ren Suo needed.

Ren Suo’s grandmother passed away 3 years ago due to an old age-related disease.

As he was very close to his grandparents, Ren Suo almost transferred to the medicine course due to the passing of his grandmother.

However, he did not do so as he wasn’t smart enough. On the same note, he did not have enough time to numb his pain.

This was the limitation of modern life science, which was also the limitation of the era.

Life and death were both phases of life. All of us should accept this fact. Even for Ren Suo, he would also have to witness the passing of his parents if he doesn’t encounter any mishaps.

Death can never be prevented, unless technological advancements such as recharging of the brain, retrieving of signals from souls, and hibernation of the body were invented.

However, when Ren Suo saw the existence of the [Healing Touch], he began feeling agitated.

Science can’t save the dead, but how about…non-scientific methods?

Even if the skill can only treat diseases, it would be enough for Ren Suo as he wouldn’t have to see his loved ones getting tortured by illnesses ever again.

What’s even better is that Ren Suo would be able to binge on spicy and oily food choices without being overly concerned about falling sick or having a pimple outbreak.

For himself, for his family, for the 49 points that he had used up.

The game begins.
