"Sage"

Time was indeed pressing... Yin Ge asked again, "As long as I complete a Grand Physician-level game, can I become a Grand Physician-level White Nighter?"

"It depends." Qin Li shook his head. "White Nighters are ranked by the points they earn from completing games."

"Points?" Yin Ge immediately understood. "The number of participants and the difficulty of the game differ by level, so the points must differ too."

"That's right." Qin Li nodded. "Completing a Commoner-level game mission earns one point."

"A Grand Physician-level game mission earns three points."

"A Scholar-level game mission earns ten points."

"Court Minister-level, Feudal Lord-level, and Son of Heaven-level games earn thirty, one hundred, and one thousand points respectively."

Yin Ge understood at once. "Based on the current ranking standards, I need three points to become a Grand Physician-level White Nighter."

"Either complete one Grand Physician-level game mission, or three Commoner-level game missions?"

"Exactly." Qin Li nodded. "You already completed the Commoner-level Bride Game mission, so you can earn one point."

"Another thing to note is that after entering a game, White Nighters may belong to the Daylight Faction or the Night Faction."

"But regardless of which faction you belong to, your first priority is ensuring your own safety. Use Godhead whenever possible, and use Personhood as little as possible."

"In a sense, it would be better for ten ordinary people to die than for a White Nighter capable of controlling Personhood to die."

Yin Ge's heart tightened at those words.

She could understand that. From what Qin Li had said, there were too few White Nighters, so casualties had to be minimized as much as possible.

"I understand." Yin Ge's gaze hardened. "So, is the condition for completing a game mission finding someone from the Night Faction?"

Qin Li's expression turned grave. "You must not only find them, but also bind their Personhood, end the game, and prevent it from spreading on a large scale."

"Binding?" Yin Ge found it fascinating. "Beasthood can actually be bound? How?"

A hint of pride entered Qin Li's voice.

"We learned from the methods of ancient great sages and eminent monks. In ancient times, these demons and monsters were suppressed in places where devout faith was spread, using the magnetic fields emitted by the prayers of countless people to suppress them."

"The scientists of the Neutrino Persona Order Center simulated the deeds of the greatest sages, eminent monks, saints, and others. Using them as a basis, they developed a container capable of binding Personhood. We call it..."

"'Sage'!"

"'Sage'? There's actually something that powerful." Yin Ge felt another sliver of hope for survival. "What exactly is a 'Sage'? Since it can restrain Beasthood, can the Personhood inside my body also be restrained by a 'Sage'?"

Qin Li spoke solemnly. "You'll come into contact with the 'Sage' once you start taking missions."

"Alright." Yin Ge fell into thought.

Taking herself as an example, her body and the "Sage" were both containers for binding Personhood.

The only difference was that the "Sage" was an inanimate object, so binding Personhood had no negative effects.

But this "container" of hers could die.

Therefore, if she wanted to slow the rate of death, she could only become one of the Neutrino Persona Order Center's higher-ups.

With that thought, Yin Ge's heart calmed slightly.

She clarified her goal.

If she wanted to live, she had to complete game missions!

She had to earn three points, become a Grand Physician-level White Nighter, rise into the upper ranks, and obtain the classified method for slowing the rate of Personhood entropy increase!

With that in mind, Yin Ge took the initiative to ask, "Then when can I enter the Son of Heaven Game and complete missions?"

"Whenever you want." Qin Li's expression was gentle. "But how are you feeling right now?"

"Emotions?" Yin Ge did not know how to describe her complicated feelings.

But one thing was certain: scenes of bloodshed and cruelty from the game kept surfacing in her mind, along with the fact that she would die sooner or later.

Those lingering memories, combined with the influence of the Personhood in her left eye, had left her nerves stretched to the limit. Her heart remained heavy.

"Not very good." Yin Ge shook her head.

Qin Li looked at her bloodshot eyes and spoke with some concern.

"According to research results, the rejection between the Personhood obtained in the game and the recipient's own Personhood is extremely intense."

"That is because the Personhood deliberately becomes active, tormenting the recipient's mind."

"The moment the recipient's mind completely collapses, the Personhood will completely devour their body."

"So, you need to make sure your emotions do not collapse completely before entering another game."

Hearing this, Yin Ge fell into thought.

Logically speaking, she should have gone to the Neutrino Persona Order Center right away to learn as much new information as possible and prepare herself for the next Son of Heaven Game.

But she was also afraid that approaching matters related to the Son of Heaven Game too quickly would cause her emotions to collapse, allowing the Personhood to devour her directly.

So, she decided to rest for a few days first and adjust her emotions.

After thinking it over, Yin Ge replied, "I'll come find you again in a few days."

"Alright." Qin Li did not ask further. He took out a phone and handed it to Yin Ge.

"This phone is used exclusively by the Neutrino Persona Order Center to contact White Nighters. It can charge as long as there is sunlight, and your information has already been linked to it."

"Of course, the phone still won't work once you enter a game."

"But if anything comes up normally, you can contact me at any time. From now on, I'll be your personal advisor." Personal advisor?

That should be some kind of position at the Neutrino Persona Order Center... Yin Ge put the phone away without hesitation. "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qin Li smiled. "Welcome to the Neutrino Persona Order Center, new White Nighter!"

... After Qin Li carefully learned the specifics of Yin Ge's Personhood, he left. Yin Ge was the only one remaining in the hospital room.

She raised a hand and touched her eyes, unable to stop herself from worrying. After all, her life had already entered its countdown.

But she quickly cast aside that slightly pessimistic mood.

Her most urgent task was to stabilize her emotions before they collapsed and gave the Personhood an opening.

How could she adjust her emotions?

Yin Ge got out of bed briskly and soon went to the bank to withdraw all her money.

"I've been an orphan since childhood. After working myself to the bone for all these years, I barely managed to save a hundred thousand yuan. You can't take money with you when you die, so I might as well enjoy it while I can."

With that thought, she felt no burden at all as she rushed into a mall and bought a bag she had always wanted but could never bring herself to buy.

Afterward, she went for a seafood feast she had been craving for ages, and even sent gifts to the handsome little streamer she loved watching most.

Lured by the power of money, the little streamer quickly came over and sat across from Yin Ge.

The moment he saw Yin Ge's designer bag, the aloof, untouchable little streamer from the livestream instantly changed his attitude, calling her "big sis" over and over.

Wasn't having a handsome guy around supposed to make me happy? Why couldn't I feel happy at all...? Yin Ge felt a little pleased at first, but the feeling quickly faded into boredom.

When life and death were on the line, everything else seemed to lose its shine.

The little streamer remained completely unaware. He went to the restroom, and when he came back, his makeup was heavier and his voice had become even more affected.

"Big sis~"

But no one answered him. Yin Ge's seat was empty.
