Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Abnormal Eyes Conclusion

Reality World 13:02

Mu Lingxue sat on the sofa and asked Zhang Xinying, who was eating an ice cream:

“Xinying, are you going to change your race to the Elf Race tomorrow?”

“I think it’s fine as it is now, so I won’t change.”

Zhang Xinying, watching TV while eating ice cream, didn’t forget to answer while she was at it.

Mu Lingxue looked surprised,

“Why? Elves are so beautiful. More than half of our guild wants to become elves. If that’s the case, the professions will completely lose balance, and it’s giving me a headache!”

Zhang Xinying glanced at her best friend beside her, quickly finished the remaining ice cream in her hand, and said with a pout:

“I quite like my current profession; I don’t want to change it.”

Actually, what Zhang Xinying was thinking was, if she changed her race, she would also lose her current hidden profession.

Losing the hidden profession wasn’t a big deal, but what bothered Zhang Xinying was that she didn’t want to lose the Werewolf Prophet who could chat with her in the game and teach her how to play well.

In fact, after spending so many days together, Zhang Xinying had come to genuinely regard him as a respected elder rather than just an NPC as people usually say.

Moreover, this was a gift specially given to her by someone.

Of course, Mu Lingxue didn’t know about this, because besides Lin Yi, Zhang Xinying hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, not even her sister-like best friend.

It wasn’t that she deliberately wanted to hide it from her, but Zhang Xinying had a vague special feeling in her heart that this game…..

Suddenly!

With a “bang!” sound,

Mu Lingxue on the sofa suddenly turned around and glared angrily at Lin Yi,

“Can’t you open the door more gently? This door was specially custom-made for me!”

Lin Yi, who was standing by the door, looked a bit awkward and said:

“Accident, totally an accident.”

It really wasn’t that Lin Yi intended to make such a loud noise.

After waking up from a nap, Lin Yi found his power had increased significantly, so much so that he couldn’t control his strength when opening the door, leading to the current situation.

Mu Lingxue wrinkled her nose.

Seeing that the door was okay, she stopped making a fuss and said:

“Just as well, I have something to discuss with you and want to hear your thoughts.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yi replied, walked into the living room, and greeted Zhang Xinying:

“Morning!”

Mu Lingxue looked up at the clock on the wall, 13:11

Morning?

“Pfft~”

She couldn’t help but roll her eyes,

“Indeed, it’s quite early.”

Zhang Xinying casually responded with a sentence, then seemingly casually added:

“There’s some chicken soup I couldn’t finish in the kitchen, help yourself, remember to wash your own bowl after drinking.”

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled:

“Thanks!”

Upon hearing this, Mu Lingxue rolled her eyes back again.

Couldn’t finish? You left it on purpose, right? I didn’t even get enough.

Even if she was a bit dense, Mu Lingxue could sense that the relationship between these two was not as simple as it seemed.

However, she didn’t like to pry into things her best friend didn’t want to share.

Pretending to nonchalantly pick up a piece of watermelon from the fruit platter, Mu Lingxue took a bite and said to Lin Yi, who was sitting not far away:

“After this demon hunting event, several investment companies approached our Ice and Snow Illusion City and reached investment agreements.”

“As things stand, guild funds shouldn’t be an issue. I wanted to ask whether you want your fifty million refunded with interest or would you like to treat it as an investment in the guild for some shares?”

Perhaps worried that Lin Yi might overthink, Mu Lingxue explained:

“It’s not about burning bridges after crossing, really!”

“Because with the changes in guild equity, the financial part would be adjusted as well. If you need the money, I’ll cash it out and return it, along with the appropriate dividends, ensuring you aren’t at a loss.”

“If you prefer to continue investing in our guild, I’ll fulfill the contract as before, giving you the corresponding guild shares.”

“The decision is yours.”

Lin Yi thought for a moment,

“In that case, you better cash it out.”

After this Elf Race thing, he vaguely felt that he might be quite short of money in the days to come.

It’s better to have the money on him, so he can use it whenever needed.

Regarding Lin Yi’s decision, Mu Lingxue didn’t question much,

“Alright, Weiwei will re-draft a cancellation contract later, and the funds will be returned to you by then.”

After quickly finishing the watermelon in her hand, Mu Lingxue got up and stretched lazily:

“You guys continue, I’m going back for a beauty nap.”

“Oh right, the official said the game cabins are out, do you need me to order for you?”

The game cabins are out? So soon.

Lin Yi was somewhat surprised but responded:

“I’ll order it myself.”

Zhang Xinying:

“Then Xiaoxue, you can order one for me. Let me know how much it costs, and I’ll pay you later.”

Mu Lingxue acknowledged with a hum and went upstairs.

After Mu Lingxue left, Lin Yi looked at Zhang Xinying,

“You”

Only to see Zhang Xinying put on slippers and said:

“Look for yourself, I’m going back to catch up on some sleep.”

As Zhang Xinying walked towards the room, she said:

“The Zhao Family has moved their entire household away from Binhai City, and no one knows where they went.”

“I’m fine, don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief.

As long as these people don’t hold a grudge against Zhang Xinying’s family for this.

At this moment, Lin Yi recalled He Hai’s earlier words and felt this matter might not be that simple.

After Zhang Xinying returned to her room, Lin Yi sent a message to He Hai.

To He Hai:

“Keep an eye on the Zhao Family’s situation for me, and notify me immediately if there’s any news.”

He Hai:

“Alright.”

Seeing there was nothing else, Lin Yi headed to the kitchen to finish the chicken soup left in the thermal pot.

After washing the dishes, he returned to the room and ordered three gaming capsules from the official game website.

However, just as Lin Yi was about to make the purchase, he hesitated for a moment and temporarily changed the quantity to four.

The game helmet cost 5,000 each, but the gaming capsule’s price was twenty times that.

Seeing this, Lin Yi wasn’t sure whether to thank the person who allowed him to be reborn.

After all, this figure was beyond what Lin Yi could imagine before his rebirth.

By now, Lin Yi suddenly felt open-minded about everything now.

No matter what the ultimate goal of the unseen hand was, at least for now, the benefits Lin Yi gained from being reborn were things he couldn’t even dream of before.

Lin Yi placed his right hand in front of him and opened his palm.

At this moment, something magical happened.

A sprout, as if infused with life, grew gradually from Lin Yi’s palm.

From the initial two leaves to four, to six… In the blink of an eye, it formed a green vine that coiled around Lin Yi’s arm.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi subconsciously frowned:

Am I not an Arcane user? How did I gain this Wood Element ability? Because of the Elf King?

Obviously, there was no one to answer Lin Yi’s question.

But just then, Lin Yi suddenly remembered Red Eyes taking her sister to the hospital for a check-up today.

When Lin Yi rushed to the villa, he learned that the two had already returned from the hospital.

A frustrated Lin Yi repeatedly apologized:

“I’m sorry, I forgot all about it.”

Wang Sijie glanced at his sister’s room and led Lin Yi to a stone bench outside the villa.

Lin Yi quickly asked:

“How did the check-up go?”

Wang Sijie sighed and said:

“The doctor said there’s a strong possibility that my sister’s frail health is caused by her Abnormal Eyes.”

“He said it might have started when my mother was pregnant with my sister, as her Abnormal Eyes began to absorb the life force meant for her body.”

“It’s precisely because of the large depletion of life force that my sister has been so frail since childhood.”

Saying this, Wang Sijie sighed helplessly:

“But these are all just the old man’s speculations, without any concrete evidence.”

“Speculations?”

Finding it difficult to accept this result, Lin Yi said:

“Is there any way to fix or improve this situation?”

Wang Sijie shook his head with a bitter smile,

“The doctor proposed a hypothesis: unless her life force can be increased significantly to create some kind of balance between her body and her Abnormal Eyes, or even surpass the need of her Abnormal Eyes, only then could her current condition improve.”

Upon hearing this conclusion, Wang Sijie felt as if the sky had collapsed, and his eyes went blank as he said:

“For now, we can only try to provide her with as much energy as possible to see if it can improve the current situation.”

Looking at the half-grown child in front of him, Lin Yi couldn’t help but sigh,

“Did he mention what might happen if a solution isn’t found?”

Hearing this question, Wang Sijie remained silent for a while before speaking again:

“Based on the timeline, if no solution is found, her body might be dragged down by the Abnormal Eyes within a few years.”

Dragged down?

Lin Yi was also at a loss upon hearing this.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Yi’s mind.

What is life force?

Is there anything in this world that represents life force more than greenery?

Lin Yi instinctively looked at his palm.

An inexplicable sense of vitality was gathering in his palm.

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine as he thought: Could this just be a coincidence?
