The boy's condition visibly improved once the bleeding stopped. But the mute girl holding him began to tremble. Tears filled her eyes as she looked at Xu Huo, fear and excitement mingling in her expression. Since she couldn't speak, she only parted her lips and ultimately did nothing more.
The boy hadn't passed out. Once he'd recovered a little, he got up and knelt on the ground, bowing deeply to Xu Huo. "Thank you for saving me. I want to become a Player. Please teach me. I'll repay your kindness someday, I promise!"
"There are no children among the Players," Xu Huo said.
"I'm not a child. I'm already ten. In a few years, I'll be grown up. I want to become a Player. I don't want to rot away here like everyone else." The boy looked up at him, his eyes blazing with a maturity and determination that belied his age. "I'm going to kill every last one of those evildoers. They don't deserve to live in this world!"
Then he bowed his head again and kept knocking it against the ground, as if he would continue until Xu Huo agreed.
"Whether you can become a Player depends on your own potential." Xu Huo placed an Evolution Potion on the table. "This is an Evolution Potion for ordinary people. Injecting it can strengthen your body. These potions should at least make you stronger than an ordinary person."
The boy wasn't disappointed. On the contrary, he was delighted. Without hesitation, he picked up the syringe and injected it into his arm.
It was a relatively mild Evolution Potion, so he wouldn't feel anything too noticeable after the injection. Even so, the boy began to tremble. Tears filled his eyes as he kept murmuring about wanting to become a Player.
