Chapter 21
“Come on...”
Lan Xiao pursed her lips. Her palms were already sweating before she started.
Undoubtedly, she was quite nervous!
Wen Muchu lifted his T-shirt, revealing the bloodstained bandage he had wrapped around his belly.
Lan Xiao’s hand trembled as she held the cotton ball soaked in anti-inflammatory.
At this moment, Wen Muchu gritted his teeth to endure the pain while he removed the sticky bandage from his flesh and blood.
Then he looked up at her, his face not showing any sign of discomfort.
“First, clean and disinfect the wound. Then apply some medicine and bandage it...” he calmly instructed her.
His tone was as casual and careless as if he was guiding her through fixing someone else’s wound.
It seemed as if it was not his wound they were talking about, and the blood wasn’t dripping from his body.
Lan Xiao gasped and a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead.
Squatting down in front of him, she was short of breath as her hands and feet trembled.
“Are you scared?” Wen Muchu asked indifferently.
Lan Xiao’s neck was stiff as she retorted, “Who is scared here? I’m not scared!”
“If that’s true, then why are you still hesitating?” he joked lightly with a chuckle.
Clenching her teeth, Lan Xiao closed her eyes and stretched out her hand with the cotton ball to treat the wound.
Immediately, the smell of blood invaded her nostrils. As her fingertips came into contact with the sticky and bloody wound, she stiffened and blacked out all of a sudden.
Before she passed out, however, she thought she saw a glimmer of light flashing from the ruby ring on her index finger.
The most embarrassing thing about that whole situation was that she actually fainted at the sight of the bloody wound.
And to make matters worse, she bumped her head into it.
As a result, her nose and mouth were stained with Wen Muchu’s blood.
After a minute, Lan Xiao slowly started to wake up.
But once she opened her eyes, she was almost scared to death.
A transparent board surged in front of her eyes like those that popped up in a game to show the tasks the player needed to complete.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6...
The backgrounds of the task levels were made up of beautiful emeralds.
The background for Quest Level 1 on the board was represented by a gray-bluish round emerald.
The gemstone kept jumping on the screen as if it waited to be poked.
Lan Xiao stretched out her hand and poked it tentatively.
With a “bingo” sound, the screen switched to Quest Level 1 board.
The voice of the system rang in Lan Xiao’s ear. “Welcome! You’re about to start Quest Level 1. ”
Lan Xiao was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? What was Quest Level 1? Only a minute ago, she was bandaging Wen Muchu’s wound at school. How did she end up in a game world all of a sudden?
She wondered if this was a dream.
Unexpectedly, the system answered her, “Miss Lan, you’re not dreaming. It was your lover’s blood which triggered a special function in your ring when it came into contact with the ruby. ”
“...” Lan Xiao was in utter shock.
How could the game system know what she was thinking? What the hell was this?
Could it be that after her rebirth, she actually acquired some special abilities?
Why was her life so exciting and dramatic?
However, the system did not care about Lan Xiao’s confusion at all as it continued to instruct her in a mechanical and emotionless voice.
“As long as you successfully complete the quests according to the system’s instructions, you’ll be able to improve your special function value. When you reach the value of 1000 points, you’ll complete Quest Level 1, and Quest Level 2 will be automatically activated. ”
“Of course, your rewards will increase as you progress through the levels. All kinds of surprises are waiting for you now. Why are you taking so long? You can’t miss it! Move your little finger and click to start the quest! “
