The doctors couldn't understand why both of the people involved in the car accident suffered organ failure.
If Lin Jing's organ failure was due to the delay in surgery, then what was Wu Zhe's cause?
They didn't know...
But Su Xi knew.
Their organ failure was partly due to the car accident, but at least half of the reason was that Kurumi (the future Su Jiang) drained their time, causing their organs to age rapidly.
Speaking of which, I haven't introduced who Wu Zhe is yet.
Wu Zhe is the eldest son of the Wu Corporation. He is a sadistic, twisted, and obese otaku.
As for why he's a "dead fat otaku," it's because when he was in high school, he pursued a girl but failed, so he forced himself on her. It turned out that the girl had a powerful background, but she was used to keeping a low profile.
The next day, Wu Zhe was crippled by the girl's family and became impotent.
Then the news that the eldest son of the Wu Corporation had become a cripple spread quickly among the upper echelons.
Wu Zhe felt that every time he went out, everyone looked at him with pity and contempt, constantly reminding him that he was different from ordinary people, as if everyone was calling him a eunuch or a good-for-nothing.
As a result, his personality became self-conscious, manic, and distorted. He was afraid to go out and stayed in a dark room every day, either playing games or overeating.
This gave Wu Zhe the opportunity to come into contact with the [Meta World], laying the groundwork for him to become a regional overlord in the future.
Unfortunately, everything has now vanished.
When a person dies, it's like a lamp going out.
The hatred from the past life also ends here.
The Wu Corporation actually suffered quite a bit later on. After all, Wu Zhe was already useless, so the family naturally abandoned him, letting him live a muddled life. They didn't notice his personality was off in time, which led to Wu Zhe killing all the men in the family who looked down on him after the game came, while the women became his "water heaters".
What happened next was that Su Jiang was arrested.
At this time, the M7 Esports Club is located in Shanghai.
Manager Li answered the phone call from the foreign T1 Club with a bewildered expression.
"What's wrong, Li Wan?" Wang Jingyi had just finished her daily training when she saw Manager Li standing by the water dispenser with a frown on her face.
"No, the foreign T1 Club just said they want to ask us for players."
"Need people? What kind of people? They're a male esports club, right? What does that have to do with us?" Wang Jingyi asked a series of questions.
These were also the questions Li Wan had.
"It's not someone from our club, but a player named [Su]."
"Su? Never heard of her."
"Me neither," Li Wan sighed, then continued, "But I just checked online, and this Su seems to be quite famous in that [Meta World], and she's a female player. I guess T1 wants us to help them find her."
Wang Jingyi rolled her eyes in annoyance, took a sip of water, and then asked, "The Meta World? Is a foreign country planning to host Meta World competition?"
"I don't know," Li Wan shook her head.
Even if foreign countries hold Meta World events, their club cannot participate; in fact, domestic clubs cannot participate either.
"T1 said that if Su agrees to go, they will offer him a ten million annual salary, and if we successfully help them find someone, they will also give us one million."
"Puff!"
Wang Jingyi instantly spat out the water in her mouth and asked in shock, "How much?"
"It's hard to believe, but the price they offered was indeed ten million..."
Is it too late for me to start playing Meta World now?
Su Xi suddenly felt a little regretful that she had wasted a whole day and night on Lin Jing.
Sigh, let's just consider it burying the love of the past.
Log in to the game.
Su Xi appeared in the inn of the Forest City.
First, go to the Adventurer's Guild to see if the follow-up quest for "Investigate Deity Revival Incident" has appeared.
Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared yet, probably because too few players have completed this task, not enough to unlock the next stage.
As for the other thing to do, it is naturally to go to the Holy Grace Divine Cult to see if we can get the [Divine Brilliance Crystal]. Without this thing, we can only stare blankly when we come to the next Trial of Death.
While it's nice to get a reward without doing anything, who would refuse to get more?
The third thing to do is to go to the mountains to see if Kura Ha is still there. This dragon NPC did not die like in his previous life, so there should be more plot developments, right?
Before long, Su Xi arrived at the Holy Grace Divine Cult.
As Elf Saintess, she easily met the church's high priestess Miriam Sainsbury.
"You are the Descenders entrusted with an important mission by the goddess! I didn't expect that you would have grown to this extent in just a few days." Miriam was a little surprised to see Su Xi.
NPCs can sense a player's approximate level and attributes. Su Xi's attributes are now much higher than before, so Miriam is naturally surprised.
"Yes, I was fortunate enough to gain the favor of the Holy Tree of the Elf race and become a saintess of the elves," Su Xi said humbly.
"Luck is also a kind of strength, you know. I believe that those who win the favor of the goddess will surely have good luck." Miriam covered her mouth, smiled demurely, and then asked, "So, Your Highness, the Holy Maiden of the Elf race, what brings you here today?"
The fact that Su Xi was no longer addressed as "adventurer" but as "Her Highness the Saintess" indicates that the high priest of the church was asking this question out of respect for the saintess's status.
Otherwise, an ordinary player who only gets 5 points of favor from the goddess wouldn't receive this treatment.
"I am cursed by [Death], and I must enter the Death Realm for training every once in a while. So I hope to obtain the [Divine Brilliance Crystal] to help me successfully pass through the Death Realm."
Su Xi described the [Death's Shadow] debuff truthfully.
Since this concerned the divine, Miriam's expression turned somewhat solemn. She said, "The [Death] that causes all things to wither... I never expected that [Death] would target you, the Elf Saintess who represents [Life]. How strange."
"The Divine Brilliance Crystal can be lent to you, but you need to give us your power in return."
Su Xi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Of course."
Miriam immediately smiled and said, "I heard from Allison that the spear filled with holy light is in your hands?"
A spear imbued with holy light?
Could it be Judas?
Su Xi said, "That thing is indeed in my possession, but..."
Miriam pressed further. "Just?"
"My talent is rather unique; I have already devoured that spear."
"Devouring it? You can devour holy light too? How did you do that?"
Although Miriam's expression didn't change much, Su Xi could still hear the surprise in her voice.
Su Xi transformed into Theresa, dressed as a nun, right in front of her.
Miriam: "..."
