- Chapter 7 - Childhood Sweetheart and Basic Healing Buff
The sky outside had already turned dark.
Chen Fei realized that the time must be up.
Sure enough, a notification popped up in the game:
[You have been online for eight hours today. You will be logged out!]
Immediately after, a haze of chaos enveloped his vision, and his consciousness faded from the game world.
If anyone were still in the game, they would notice the NPCs wearing expressions of fear. To them, the sudden disappearance of players was unsettling, even terrifying.
When Chen Fei opened his eyes, his body regained its awareness.
He stepped out of the game pod and walked to the window.
The night had already fallen outside.
Glancing at the clock on the table, he saw that it was already 7 PM.
The game’s time synced perfectly with reality. Players could only stay in the game for eight hours.
But once the game and reality fully merged, humanity would be able to enter the game world without time restrictions.
Gurgle, gurgle~
Chen Fei’s stomach growled loudly.
After playing all day, he was starving.
Shaking his head, he stepped outside, closed the door behind him, and headed downstairs to grab some food.
…
An hour later, Chen Fei returned to his room, feeling full and satisfied.
He checked the time.
It was Sunday today. Tomorrow would be Monday-a school day.
Chen Fei chuckled to himself, almost startled by his own thoughts.
Seriously? The world is on the brink of destruction, and I’m still thinking about school?
Forget it-he’d skip class tomorrow!
Chen Fei was only eighteen, currently in his senior year of high school.
While he did want to reconnect with his friends from his past life, the weight of his current situation made him hesitant.
After all, he was the only one who knew that the game world would eventually merge with reality.
The myriad races from the game would invade the real world at a specific point in time.
But who would believe him if he said that out loud?
Carrying the burden of an entire world’s safety was no small thing. The pressure was immense.
“Good thing I have infinite amplification…”
Chen Fei lay on his bed, slowly closing his eyes.
His mind began to plan for tomorrow’s tasks.
…
He had recently accepted a quest from a woman-to kill the village head.
The village head’s level was estimated to be around ten, possibly up to Level 15.
With his current Level 8 strength and the yellow equipment ghostbone spear, he might stand a chance in battle.
Still, the odds weren’t entirely in his favor, and Chen Fei didn’t want to risk any mistakes.
Dying in the game meant losing equipment, dropping levels, and dealing with a lot of hassle.
Aside from the quest to kill the village head, there were several smaller side quests he could take on.
For instance, the widow in the west of the village, the equipment alchemist-both had quests he could accept.
Tomorrow, Chen Fei planned to tackle these smaller quests first, collect the rewards, and then figure out a strategy to kill the village head.
Completing the woman’s quest would earn him a class change book, which he could amplify using his unique ability.
But the most critical event was happening the day after tomorrow-a female knight from the Laien Empire would arrive.
In his previous life, Chen Fei had encountered this female knight.
Thanks to his charm value max at the time, she had taken him to Donglin City.
This time around, he no longer had his charm value maxed out, but his memories of the female knight were still vivid.
He was confident he could persuade her to take him out of the novice village.
With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Chen Fei gradually drifted off to sleep.
…
The next morning, the sun rose high in the sky.
Outside the window, the chirping of birds filled the air, accompanied by the sporadic crowing of roosters.
Chen Fei got up immediately. After a quick wash and finishing the breakfast he grabbed from the fridge, he was ready to dive back into the game.
Knock, knock, knock~
His phone buzzed with an incoming call.
Walking over to the desk, he picked it up and glanced at the screen.
It was Lin Mumu, his childhood sweetheart.
“Good morning, Fei.”
“Morning. What’s up?”
“Um… want to head to school together? I’m waiting at the usual spot.”
“…I, uh, I have something to do today, so I won’t be going to school. You go ahead. Anything else?”
“Alright then, nothing more…”
After hanging up, Chen Fei tossed the phone aside.
What a joke. I have a world to save-who has time for school?
He immediately climbed into the game pod and entered the game.
…
Meanwhile, at a park bench not far away.
A black-haired girl sat there, looking a bit dejected.
She was beautiful, but her expression carried a faint shadow of gloom. Her face seemed veiled with a light sadness, and her eyes were slightly closed.
Slowly, she put her phone down, staring at her QQ chat history with Chen Fei.
He hadn’t replied.
Almost a whole day had passed. In the past, he would always respond right away.
And just now, when she called, it was like he had become a completely different person.
What’s going on with him…
Lin Mumu stood up, her face tinged with a hint of melancholy. Carrying her heavy schoolbag, she slowly made her way toward school.
She picked up her phone again, hesitated for a moment, and finally sent Chen Fei a voice message.
“Fei, I’ll come over to your place tonight to help you review for your classes…”
…
Unfortunately, Chen Fei didn’t see it.
He was currently in the game, chatting with Widow Liu in the west of the village.
“Oh ho ho, you’re such a funny one,” the voluptuous woman chuckled, leaning in close to Chen Fei’s ear and whispering, “Alright, I’ll give you a quest.”
“Bring me back a piece of underwear.”
Chen Fei’s face turned red as he silently accepted the quest.
[Quest Reminder]: Buy Underwear
Background: Widow Liu’s underwear has been mysteriously disappearing lately, leaving her with barely any left. She’s asked you to buy her a new one!
Requirement: Bring back one piece of underwear.
Reward: Basic healing buff! (Basic healing skill!)
…
Nearby, hundreds of players were watching them.
They stared at Chen Fei with envy.
“Man, this guy’s so good-looking. He just showed up and already got a quest. So jealous!”
“Ugh, even in games, looks matter…”
Well, it couldn’t be helped. Chen Fei was already a 98-out-of-100-level handsome guy in real life. His in-game appearance was just as striking.
What’s more, in his previous life, his charm value max had also caught Widow Liu’s attention.
Because of that, he still remembered a thing or two about her preferences-what she liked to hear, for instance.
That’s how he managed to snag the quest so easily.
Shaking his head, he headed toward the village entrance to buy the underwear.
…
Before long, he returned with a black lace piece.
Highly seductive…
The simple quest was completed.
[Quest Completed!]
[You have completed Widow Liu’s quest and received a 60-second ‘basic healing buff.’ You triggered tenfold amplification and obtained a 60-second ‘basic healing buff’!]
[Basic Healing Buff]: Restores 10% of your maximum health points per second! Automatically stops when health reaches 50%.
Duration: 60 seconds.
Mana Cost: None.
Usage: Activate the buff to use it automatically! Deactivate it to pause the timer!
…
Not bad at all. Normally, only healers in the city could grant a basic healing buff, and even then, it wasn’t cheap in the early stages of the game.
Who would’ve thought he’d get his hands on one so soon?
This buff restored 10% of maximum health points per second. In the early game, it was incredibly useful.
Out in the wild, it was practically a lifesaver.
