Online: I Can See Health Bars-Chapter 1199 - 528: News
To be honest, if Lei Shenhao hadn’t provided intelligence on the Wild Spirit, convincing himself to consider a rescue plan, Fang Yu would have no idea what turnabout capital Lei Shenhao has in this situation.
Even if a rescue plea were sent across the entire internet, even if someone might really use their identity or something else to save him, it’s like trying to quench a nearby fire with distant water; it’s essentially a deadlock.
After a brief exchange with Coach Ma, Fang Yu quickly returned to his room.
Then... logged out of the game.
Fang Yu wanted to see whether Lei Shenhao had posted online, or if so, what the content was.
Directly asking Lei Shenhao himself certainly holds intrigue, but first examining his forum posts to gauge his current state of mind is also quite worthwhile.
A few days later, when it’s time to leave Sunset City, he could judge from the posts to see if Lei Shenhao was lying or not.
...
In reality.
Fang Yu’s flesh and blood reconstituted, appearing out of thin air on a bed in the research institute.
Following routine, he attempted to extract the Life Seed, and indeed, it still wouldn’t work; even if he were to expend all his vitality on the spot, it was far from enough to cover the cost.
However, compared to before, the vitality cost required this time was significantly reduced.
It was the power of the Believers that had improved and had a feedback effect on this aspect.
Although battles in the wild rarely saw the Believers’ power contribute, repeated use over these days still increased the Erosion Level and the power of the Bloodline Spirit.
"I still need Ding Hui’s help..."
Only if Ding Hui’s research proceeds smoothly can the Bloodline Spirit’s power make a qualitative leap.
Otherwise, it’s as if he’s bound to a weak Spirit, no different from low-level, feeble Believers.
This wasn’t Fang Yu belittling Diao Ruru or anything; it was merely an objective assessment.
If Ding Hui can empower or amplify the Bloodline Spirit, only then can the Believers’ power truly come into play.
Opening the game forum.
There was no need to refresh posts; right on the homepage was Lei Shenhao’s self-rescue theme post.
After all, he’s affluent, and launching a post with hired hands to sustain the thread’s activity is typical.
Moreover, this isn’t like ordinary recruitment; Lei Shenhao’s account character is at stake, making it a matter of utmost urgency worthy of lavish expenditure on self-rescue, with costs being negligible.
Clicked directly into the post.
"Urgent! Heavy Reward!! Any big shots around Sunset City, please save me!! Reward is not a problem!!"
At the start, bold red large font hits your eyes.
Then came the concise description of Lei Shenhao’s current predicament.
Something about being backstabbed by NPCs, now imprisoned by a big family, constantly at risk of being killed, calling for a super expert, or someone with power and status who could influence a major family’s decision in Sunset City to speak up and save a person.
The underlying message suggests Lei Shenhao doesn’t care anymore about the post potentially disgracing him within the circle of second-generation rich offspring. Since when the character is gone, it’s gone, truly done for. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
As for the rewards promised by Lei Shenhao, they were undeniably tempting.
Money, cars, houses, female celebrities, and even a decently profitable company.
This deal seems like manna from heaven.
Anyone with any ability in the game wanted to chime in, to see if they couldn’t attempt something.
But the results are far from ideal.
Because the geographical position is almost locked dead.
Around Sunset City, there aren’t many large towns left; Thunder City and Tianyuan Town are almost the largest two, or rather, those two can be considered large towns, and Sunset City is just a small town.
Even so, reaching Sunset City from Thunder City to save someone isn’t achievable in just a couple of days; a thousand-mile horse can’t run that fast, not to mention the risk of encountering demons in the wild, and various potential obstacles.
And Tianyuan Town, only recently attacked by monsters, showed merely a few reincarnated individuals on the forum, who were in dire straits themselves, lacking the capital to save others.
Occasionally, a survivor, traveling with an NPC team, has escaped to Rolling Bone Bone City, which is almost in the opposite direction.
"Rolling Bone Bone City..."
Fang Yu felt a tug in his heart, recalling some people.
The world inside the game is real, sometimes when distant from each other without quick communication means, it’s genuinely tough to reconnect.
After the incident in Tianyuan Town, Fang Yu indeed lost contact with many people.
Gently brushing his fingertips, he remembered a favor he hadn’t returned yet.
"Hope she’s still alive, and them..."
Thinking of this, Fang Yu sent a private message to a survivor from Tianyuan Town, intending to ask who the NPCs accompanying the survivor were.
But unfortunately, the message went unanswered.
On the forum, when no interests are involved, the relationships between individuals seem even thinner and colder than inside the game.
Redirecting his attention back to continuing browsing posts.
Lei Shenhao essentially bet everything, promising all kinds of in-game resources, even explicitly stating that if any Believers were willing to help, he’d offer something irresistible to Believers.
Two indications of such a manner suggest that Lei Shenhao likely holds substantial information on the whereabouts of an unclaimed Spirit.
However, it’s just information; its value might not be worth a powerful Believer’s dedicated rescue mission, especially with the journey being so far, and... requiring confrontation with the strongest local tyrant organization, the difficulty and reward hardly seem proportionate.
