Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1099 - 295: Five Million Qualification Slots Released

The doctor handed over an electronic medical record; the data curve on the screen was shocking, all of Mom's physiological indicators were marked with a dangerous red.

At the bottom was a line of bold text: Recommendation to transfer to Eclipse City for emergency treatment within 20 days.

"Have you... arranged for the transfer?" Ning Shu's voice was hoarse, as he felt his vision darken.

He understood well what it meant to transfer to Eclipse City.

The unit where his mother worked had full medical benefits, any medical expenses could be reimbursed.

Since the accident occurred at the Purification Center, even the expenses for going to Eclipse City could be reimbursed through the Human Clan Federation.

But there was a prerequisite, he needed the qualification to go to Eclipse City.

The Moon Eclipse Clan was called Upper Realm Beings for a reason, one of which was that Eclipse City was not a place just anyone could visit.

Every year there was a fixed quota, which basically never increased.

Even during Earth's most severe pollution phases, the quota for Eclipse City was always fixed at a certain number.

To visit, one needs to make an appointment in advance, wait for notification, and then finally be told when to go to Eclipse City.

Mom had 20 days left, it seemed impossible to obtain the Moon Eclipse Clan's medical qualification within these 20 days.

Not even the management from Skywind City could secure an extra quota, let alone if the Human Clan Federation's management intervened.

In facing the inquiry, the doctor showed an apologetic expression:

"We have urgently sent a medical application to the Moon Eclipse Clan... but as you know, the Moon Eclipse Clan rarely agrees to additional qualification requests, unless your mother has had outstanding contributions to the Earth Alliance... eh."

The doctor couldn't help but sigh as he finished:

"We still have 20 days; we'll do our best during this period..."

Ning Shu didn't continue listening to the doctor's further words.

Standing in place, his ears buzzed.

20 days, only 20 days.

He could tell that the doctor's "best effort" was merely a consolation.

The doctor had clearly stated earlier that Mom's condition couldn't be treated with Skywind City's medical equipment.

This proved that Mom must be sent to Eclipse City as soon as possible.

But the problem now was that Mom's condition couldn't wait for appointment notifications, nor could any channel bypass the reservation and go directly.

No... there is a special channel.

Ning Shu suddenly thought of a post that had been popular on the Monster World forum.

This post was published by the president of the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce, "Ah Lan".

He stated in the post that Eclipse City had opened channels for sacrificial power applications for additional medical services, and via sacrificial power, priority was given for purchasing the Moon Eclipse Clan's latest tech products.

Players with qualifications could contact Moon Eclipse Clan members through the Monster World channel and directly connect to bypass the reservation to Eclipse City.

Realizing this, he abruptly took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the countdown on the page.

There are 9 hours left to register for the qualification.

He still had 20 days.

Monster World, perhaps the only hope for Mom to survive.

Although earning costs to go to Eclipse City in 20 days is exceptionally difficult,

But it's not impossible.

He had seen examples where players in Monster World braved great fortune from opportunities, as a tourist.

But all of this was premised on him obtaining Monster World's gaming qualification.

...

An hour later, Ning Shu rushed into the house, throwing his heavy backpack onto the ground.

Ignoring the mess, he went straight to the computer, where the countdown numbers were glaringly jumping.

7 hours, 29 minutes, 23 seconds.

He stared fixedly at the decreasing numbers, his fingers unconsciously tapping the desktop, the rhythm accelerating.

Outside, the sky was gradually darkening; the twilight glow shone through the glass, reflecting his side face, which flushed bright red, but he was unaware.

As time passed, every moment felt infinitely elongated.

His mind filled with visions of Mom's pallid face on the hospital bed and the doctor's words stating she must be transported to Eclipse City within 20 days... these pieces of information spun wildly like a carousel in his mind.

Suddenly he grabbed the water glass on the table, gulping a mouthful.

Chilled water slipped down his throat but couldn't extinguish the burning frustration within his chest.

During this, he refreshed the page countless times.

Even knowing this behavior was meaningless and didn't increase chances of eligibility,

He still wanted to do so, to relieve his anxiety.

Players on the forum had started discussing the probability of obtaining qualification this time, and how many Earth Alliance members would participate in the draw.

This information intensified his anxiety; each comment stung like needles in his nerves.

The time entered the final hour.

Sweat started to bead on Ning Shu's forehead, his T-shirt soaked, clinging to his skin.

The hardest was this hour; he began checking the network connection repeatedly, turning on his mobile hotspot as a backup.

The blue light of the screen reflected back his blood-shot eyes.

As the countdown entered the final minute, his finger hovered above the mouse, trembling slightly.

The "apply for qualification" button on the page still grayed out but could light up at any time.

He unconsciously held his breath, hearing only his own pounding heartbeat.

When the countdown hit zero, Ning Shu's finger smashed down at near-shadow speed.

Suddenly an information box popped up on the page.

[Participated in this Monster World qualification lottery, drawing time remaining: 4 minutes 59 seconds.]

Seeing the notification, Ning Shu's fingernails dug deep into his palm, eyeing the progress bar slowly crawling along.

Sweat dripped from his chin onto the keyboard.

Finally, the countdown reached zero.

The screen suddenly erupted in dazzling golden effects.

[Congratulations for obtaining Monster World player qualification, please enter the game and activate the account within 24 hours (already bound).]

Ning Shu shot up from his chair, his knee struck hard against the desk corner but felt no pain.

He opened his mouth to shout but only a broken sound came out, realizing his teeth had been uncontrollably chattering.

He staggered to the bathroom, scooping cold water and slapping it on his face.

The reflection showed his bloodshot eyes; water streamed from his chin like a drowning man grasping driftwood.

"Got it... finally got it!"

Tears uncontrollably surged forth; he knew there was hope for Mom.

Wiping the tears from his face, he took a deep breath:

"Mom, wait for me."
