Chapter 165: Chapter 165 – Intrusion (Part 1)



June 21, Summer Solstice.


Ren Suo was very busy for the past two days, seemingly due to Gu Yueyan spreading “rumors” that the emergency doctor in the Institution could treat any illness from menstrual pain to hair loss. As a result, Ren Suo found himself with many patients.


Of course, Ren Suo did not need to care about them in theory, but an accident happened over the past two days. A third-year junior high student fell down the stairs when he was horsing around in the corridor. Ren Suo had to rush to the rescue and his recovery ability was exposed to the whole school as he treated him in front of everyone…


Prior to that, Ren Suo had only been sneaking around in the school hospital and not many people knew about him. However, after Gu Yueyan intentionally spread information about him, the entire school was raving about him and wanted Ren Suo to treat their acne, oral ulcers, rhinitis…


As a matter of fact, it was true that Ren Suo’s duty was to treat anyone who was injured, but that would also be opening a bottomless pit for himself. If he agreed to treat everyone regardless of their conditions, he would surely become a doctor welcomed by the youths whom they would go to, to seek treatment for even their slightest pain and illnesses.


Ren Suo could not outright reject them either, so he decided to talk to Huo He, the dean of the Institution, to explain the situation, while at the same time showing off his various statuses including ‘Researcher’, ‘Countermeasure Division Special Advisor’ and ‘Naisser Ren Special Task Force Special Advisor’. As such, Huo He decided that Ren Suo only needed to work one day at the school hospital every month.


Apart from that particular day, all of the students’ minor illnesses and pain should be treated by others in the school hospital.


On other days, unless it was a particularly serious illness, Ren Suo would not be called to help. After all, he was an emergency doctor and Huo He was also afraid that Ren Suo would not have sufficient Reiki energy when the time came for him to save a student on the verge of death. If that happened, he would have been putting the cart before the horse.


And after the summer solstice, Ren Suo would also not have many opportunities to treat patients as all levels of students in the Heavenly Institution of Lianjiang would be revising for their term final examinations. The amount of work would also increase significantly and even the Practice facility would be temporarily closed.


On the other hand, the girl Gu Yueyan sneaked up to Ren Suo during lunch and asked him, “Is Teacher Dong going to come back?”


Ren Suo threw up his hands and replied, “How would I know… though her Awakened Ability is very rare, and the Tianjing headquarters seem to value her very much too.”


“I expect that she would remain in Tianjing for further development. Although Lianjiang is also very good, it is still not comparable to Tianjing.”


Gu Yueyan remained silent for a moment and whispered, “So… is there a possibility that she would come back and continue teaching?”


Ren Suo shot a strange look at her and said, “Now that she can Practice without going to work, why should she come back? Weren’t you the one who told me from the beginning that the Heavenly Institution of Lianjiang is merely a stepping stone, and she would eventually propel herself to greater heights?”


“I didn’t expect it to be so fast though…” Gu Yueyan muttered.


She looked at Ren Suo and said, “Then … is it possible for you to call Teacher Dong back? That would also be better for you. After all, you are the guy who told her to ‘sleep with you’. Although it makes you sound like a scam, your feelings towards her are true, no?”


‘My feelings for the keys are true’, that was the only thing Ren Suo could be sure of.


Although he did forget what he said that night, according to what Dong Chengling, Gu Yueyan, and Lin Xianyu mentioned, Ren Suo could be quite sure that before he passed out, he must have said, “I want to sleep with you to obtain the key”.


Perhaps, though, because he passed out too quickly, the next three words met with a car accident in his throat.


“… If my feelings towards Dong Chengling are true, then all the more I should let her further develop in Tianjing,” Ren Suo said.


Gu Yueyan was speechless for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, “You’re right. I couldn’t tell that a refined scum like you could say something so wise.”


Ren Suo pulled his lips and said, “Well, I could also go to Tianjing too, it need not be…”


Gu Yueyan snickered with a grin, “Hmph, men… With your standard, do you really think you can further develop in Tianjing? Dream on! Nevermind, on the account that you were dumped, you may ask for my help to devise a plan any time in future if there is any female teacher you want to chase in the school.”


Subconsciously, Ren Suo wanted to refuse, but remembering that Gu Yueyan was still a love expert on paper, he hesitated to reply. By the time he wanted to reply, Gu Yueyan had already sneaked away.


————


When Ren Suo returned home, he first took a bath. He was already sweating buckets from just walking back home from the dining hall.


Ren Suo checked to see if there was any new activity of ‘Naisser Ren’ on his mobile phone, but there were no new videos. Instead, an advertisement “Stunning Reiki Light Appears in New York”.


The details of the activation of the previous five Reiki Treasures had already been thoroughly exposed. Almost the entire world knew that the Reiki eruptions would occur every 24 hours before the activation of the Reiki Treasure.


Now, the significance of the appearance of Reiki Light in New York need not be explained, and all of the countries and states within the Federation already appeared to be celebrating in joy.


Nonetheless, it was easy for Ren Suo to figure that the Federation must have paid a great price to the intermediary Xuan Nation in order to buy the opportunity to “activate their Reiki Treasure in advance”.


At the same time, however, the Federation was also ready to capture the small animal from the Heavenly Palace, wanting to make use of the chance to test the capabilities of the extraordinary organization independent of Earth.


Ren Suo was now extremely looking forward to the fierce battle in the early morning of New York five days later, but at present, he was focused on opening the [Exclusive Level-Up Games (Level 3)], to see what new games were added that day!


In the Exclusive Level-Up Games section, although it was mentioned that “there would be at least three games”, that was actually the number of free games there were. When Ren Suo opened the section on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, he saw a total of five free games to choose from, of which the latter two were marked as [Newly Added on Grain-in-Ear] and [Newly Added on Dragon Boat Festival].


The Exclusive Level-Up Games section included all of the holiday promotion games and as such, a new free game would be added on each holiday. Although Ren Suo could not ‘want them all’, having a few more choices to choose from was always good.


Furthermore, the summer solstice was only two days away then, which was why Ren Suo waited until the present day to check out the newly-added game before deciding on his target game of the month.


He found that all the games added on a holiday were usually 3+ stars—but at the same time, their maximum reward was slightly higher than the other free games.


As such, Ren Suo would definitely pick a game to play from those which were added on holidays. They were: [Butterfly Effect], [King of Fighters] and [Endless Pursuit]!


[Butterfly Effect]


[This is a puzzle adventure mystery game. The player will take on the role of a dead soul whose only goal is to get a new life! The dead soul has lost its memory and will only recover some of its abilities and memories when it encounters relevant information about itself. In the flashbacks, the dead soul would be able to make up for its previous mistakes, and step by step, it would avoid the fate of death. The maximum reward is 280 merit points, and the specialized reward is [Future Effect]. There are no available in-game purchases, and there is only one chapter with no subsequent expansion chapters. The difficulty rating of the game is: 3+ stars.]


[King of Fighters]


[This game is a competition. The player will take on the role of a martial artist from the mortal world who will challenge the top ten fighters in the world. The maximum reward is 550 merit points, and the specialized reward is [Fighter Master]. There are in-game purchase options, and there is only one chapter with no subsequent expansion chapters. The difficulty rating of the game is: 4+ stars.]


Indeed, [King of Fighters] was a 4+ star game, but it was during the May Day lucky draw event when Ren Suo first came across it.


At that time, the game was an ordinary 3-star game.


However, it seemed that the difficulty of the game soared due to the activation of the Reiki Treasures and the corresponding rise in the Reiki energy of the world. Of course, the rewards and specialized rewards also soared—although he was unable to play it.


Ren Suo originally intended to pick [Butterfly Effect], but he felt that he rarely played puzzle adventure mystery games and was not confident in completing it.


Moreover, there were no in-game purchases although it had a difficulty rating of 3+ stars, which meant that there was no way for Ren Suo to decrease its difficulty through spending merit points.


Of course, most importantly, he was not interested in the game.


Although the game was beneficial for Ren Suo and an opportunity he should seize, however… if he could, Ren Suo still wanted to play a game he was interested in.


So he waited two more days to see if a more appealing game would appear.


The Mini Worlds Gaming Console lived up to his expectations.


[Endless Intrusion]


[This is a role-playing game. The player will take on the role of a spirit that was born within the Internet. Due to pollution, the Internet Spirit was split into two halves. The evil half attempts to strengthen itself through drawing the energy and life of humans through the network, while the player has to control the other strong half of the Internet Spirit to chase down its other half in the endless world of the Internet until there is no way for the other half to escape! The maximum reward is 300 merit points, and the specialized reward is [Data Stream]. There are in-game purchase options, and there is only one chapter with no subsequent expansion chapters. The difficulty rating of the game is: 3+ stars.]
