Life Isn't Worth It

Li offered comfort...

It was the same familiar feeling, the same heart-wrenching pain—making Lin Xiaowei really want to beat Li Yao to death!

Lin Xiaowei expressionlessly flipped through her personal diary of embarrassing pasts. Another entry had been added to Li Yao's list of foolish acts—on a certain day and at a certain time, this boy Li Yao ...

After finishing these tasks, Lin Xiaowei instructed, "Hurry up and get what I need over here! I've already started making arrangements to recruit craftsmen from the Main World."

Li Yao asked curiously, "What kind of people have you recruited?"

Lin Xiaowei: "The Rune Dwarves are a race that excels at forging and enchanting equipment; in addition, there are some low-level mages who are good at making constructs, as well as some human craftsmen and technicians; along with a batch of supplies and some other talents, it's just right to gather them all together at once."

The recruitment of these talents was all based on suggestions from Jiang Zhiying.

Lin Xiaowei stored them up for a while so they could travel together via interdimensional teleportation.

Anyway, she paid for it.

The group dimensional teleportation was much cheaper after the Magic Association's internal discount!

Li Yao replied, "Alright, I'll see what's going on with Jiang Zhiying tomorrow. Once things are settled, I'll go back to the provincial capital and get everything for you. By the way, try getting some gunpowder over there. Firearms are relatively easy to handle, but bullets are a real problem."

Although it is small, the reason why firearms are so lethal is because of those tiny spindle-shaped bullets.

To be precise,

It's gunpowder from inside the bullet.

The rest— Percussion Cap, Cartridge Case, and firearms—are merely tools developed in response to gunpowder.

Lin Xiaowei was also a bit troubled. "I've managed to get Black Powder, but to be honest, it's not very useful. It's only good for making homemade mines Red Coat Cannon. As for Mercury Fulminate, nitroglycerin, and nitrocellulose, they're still being tested. As for TNT) and Double-Base Propellant... I haven't even figured out the chemical materials and methods yet."

Li Yao broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.

This is pretty explosive! Is Lin Xiaowei running headlong towards "Demolition Genius Lux" without looking back? Li Yao warned, "Be careful!"

Don't blow yourself up!

Lin Xiaowei said, "Don't worry, I always have several layers of protective magic on me every day."

Okay,

As long as she knows what she's doing, that's fine.

After finishing his chat with Lin Xiaowei, Li Yao began to deconstruct the spell model, and then meditated. The alchemy experiments would have to be put on hold for a few days; he couldn't possibly carry so many alchemical materials and alchemy tables with him while traveling, could he? Although he had Space Ring...

But organizing so many things is such a hassle.

Perhaps in the future I could make a portable, interlocking alchemy table.

but...

There's nowhere to put it in the hotel!

never mind,

None of that matters.

After spending the night in meditation, the next morning, Li Yao went to the mall to change into more formal clothes, then bought some fruit and headed to Jiang Zhiying's house.

Jiang Zhiying's home is in Little Stone City, Wuzhong District.

Following the detailed address given by Old He, Li Yao searched all the way there.

Upon arriving at the door,

Li Yao was actually a little nervous—this was his first time meeting someone he met online!

I found the address myself.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

soon,

A wary voice came from inside the door. "Who is it?"

Li Yao asked, "Excuse me, is this Jiang Zhiying's home?"

"Yes, who are you?"

Li Yao: "I am Jiang Zhiying's friend. Tell her the Group Owner is here, and she should know who I am."

"Please wait a moment."

A faint voice came from inside the door asking a question, followed by the sound of the door opening, "Hello, please come in."

The person appearing behind the door was neither Jiang Zhiying nor the nanny.

Instead, she was a very beautiful and elegant lady. She was not old, wearing a fitted camel-colored wool knit dress. Her features were clear and clean, and her temperament was dignified and serene. She bore a 60-70% resemblance to Jiang Zhiying in the photos. Li Yao had investigated Jiang Zhiying's background, so he knew that she was Jiang Zhiying's older sister— Jiang Zhiying.

Li Yao handed the fruit to Jiang Zhiying: "Thank you."

After changing into disposable slippers in the entryway, Li Yao was led by Jiang Zhiying to Jiang Zhiying's bedroom.

Jiang Zhiying said, "Is this your online friend? I didn't even know you had online friends."

Jiang Zhiying also found it amazing!

She stared at Li Yao and asked, "Are you really the Group Owner?"

Li Yao laughed and said, "Yes, isn't it beautiful?"

Jiang Zhiying laughed, "It's just that she's too self-aware, which isn't cute."

Li Yao corrected, "Is 'cute' a term used to describe boys?"

Handsome is all that matters!

Seeing her sister laughing so happily, Jiang Zhiying also became cheerful. She said, "You two chat, I'll have the housekeeper prepare some food. This... Group Owner? What's your name?"

Li Yao: Just call me Li Yao.

Jiang Zhiying smiled and said, "Then Mr. Li, please have a seat. We'll have dinner here."

Li Yao politely replied, "Then I'll trouble you."

soon,

Jiang Zhiying went out, closing the door behind her.

Only now did Li Yao have a chance to take a closer look at Jiang Zhiying.

This is a very beautiful girl, just like her sister. Unfortunately, she is plagued by illness and is very thin. Her face is pale and her eyes are covered with dark circles. Even so, she is smiling with her eyes crinkling. The image of the girl in front of you overlaps with the words, "Hahaha, it's not about the money, it's that I'm about to die," which makes people feel sad.

She is clearly a very cute, cheerful, and beautiful girl.

Can...

Li Yao sat down on a chair in the bedroom and said, "Is the illness very serious?"

Jiang Zhiying avoided answering, instead asking, "Group Owner, are you so incredibly resourceful? How did you find me?"

Li Yao pursed his lips. How should I put it?

Do you expect me to tell you that I have connections with some mysterious official organization, and then dig up all your detailed information?

Li Yao had no choice but to repeat the same question, "Is the illness very serious?"

Jiang Zhiying stopped dwelling on the issue. "Actually, it's not too bad. I can manage with the help of various anti-leukemia inhibitors."

She paused for a moment, and the smile on her face suddenly became very complicated. It was a smile that was very sad and painful, but also carried a hint of relief and determination.

Jiang Zhiying said, "However, I don't plan to continue."

Is it because it's unbearable and painful? After thinking for a moment, Li Yao said, "I also have some special medicines that can improve your physical condition. In addition, there are inhibitory medicines to block the replication process of proliferating diseased cells. It may not cure you, but it can at least make you feel better."

Jiang Zhiying shook her head and whispered, "Thank you, Group Owner, but I really don't want to live anymore."

Li Yao frowned.

I was even a little angry.

He had seen the Wallfacers fight bloody battles to protect the lights of every home, and even an old man like Lu Xingshen, who could Cloud Splitting with a single sword strike, was willing to sacrifice himself to stop the catastrophe—didn't they just hope that the people behind them could enjoy peaceful and tranquil years?

life,

They deserve everyone's respect.

We should not only respect the lives of others, but also respect our own lives!

You can have your own ideas and live in a thousand or ten thousand ways.

I just beg you not to ruin her.

Li Yao stared at Jiang Zhiying and asked, "I can see your sister is helping you. You don't lack money, you have your medicine, and I can help you even more. Yes, you're sick, and it's tough. But you're not alone; everyone is helping you. Don't give up, okay?"

The smile on Jiang Zhiying's face disappeared.

She said, "It's precisely because so many people have helped me that I feel bad, very bad!"

Jiang Zhiying raised her head, stared at Li Yao, and said, word by word:

"Group Owner, this world isn't worth my continued support."

Second update. I want that premium badge, everyone please help me out! I'll update a little slower so Jun Ding can catch up with me? Anyway, hope everyone's happy, life is not worth it.
