Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer-Chapter 603: Origin Trial

Riverwood Town

Xu Feng returned to the town swiftly after handing over his hard-earned Merit Coins to Thorin.

His main objective of stocking up was completed, but he still needed to inform Clara regarding the remnants of the insurgent being resolved at long last.

After all, he still felt kind of bad for ditching her without any advanced notice. Of course, the fault wasn’t his, but Xu Feng wasn’t the type to skirt his responsibility.

As he entered the Town Hall, he noticed the crowd was somewhat unusual. It appeared as if these new players seemed afraid of being around here.

’Did something big happen?’ Confused by the situation, Xu Feng opened up the Game Forum.

While browsing the forum, he soon came to a realization why the atmosphere had been quite weird with the crowd here.

-NPC Clara went crazy!

-Players are getting detained and killed for simply crossing paths with her!

-Is this an event of an NPC gone rogue?

There were multiple posts, but the content was similar in that Clara had been acting very unordinary, striking fear among players. Speculation even began to rise as players thought this was another major event for newer players to accomplish to catch up with the older ones.

’Oh dear…’ As much as Xu Feng wanted to say that this wasn’t his fault, he had a premonition that Clara’s swinging mood was attributed to him.

NPCs in the Divine World were designed like this to ensure the players would become attached to them.

In the most extreme case, there were players who wanted to marry NPCs, only to realize they couldn’t nor could even do the actual deed because of the System restriction.

Of course, that was subject to change, but it was far too lengthy to divulge on the topic at the moment.

He closed the Game Forum and went to another receptionist, given Sandy was still not available.

"Hi, how can I help you?" The receptionist asked coolly yet still maintained her professionalism. Explore more at novelbuddy

"I’m looking for Clara." Xu Feng responded.

"Clara?" Astounded, the receptionist looked up and gazed at Xu Feng. Soon, realization dawned upon them as they recognized him.

"Oh, it’s you. Clara is upstairs in room 213." They responded, seemingly eager for Xu Feng to check up on her.

Nodding, Xu Feng thanked the receptionist before heading upstairs.

By the time he reached room 213, he knocked on the door and said, "Clara, it’s me. Sorry that I could not hold up my end of the words."

Sometime later, the door made a creaking sound as a small head popped out from there.

Clara’s eyes were locked on Xu Feng, "Was the task you did something important?"

"Mhmm." Xu Feng smiled bitterly and proceeded to relay the events that might alleviate her foul mood. "But fret not, during the task, I stumbled across the remnants. Apparently, there was a spatial crack, allowing them to transfer to a discreet place. I’ve found them and eradicated them all. The insurgent could be said to have come to an end."

Upon hearing that news, Clara’s eyes widened as waves of mixed emotion overwhelmed her.

She found it difficult to breathe, given that her enemies had finally been killed. It didn’t matter if they were responsible for her dark past, but as long as they were related to the insurgency, then she wanted them all to die.

"Thank you, Sir! Truly, thank you!" Clara opened the door wide and gave him a hug, tears started seeping out of her eyes. Time seemed to have paused for this particular moment for Clara.

And Xu Feng spent half an hour pacifying her before departing the town.

Although he did inquire about Sandy’s whereabouts from her, it became clear that not even Clara knew where she was.

Vanguard Hotel, Star Falls City

Having returned to the hotel discreetly, Xu Feng was amused to see the surge of people coming into the city.

When asking a few players about the sudden surge while giving an excuse that he was too immersed in grinding, he was told that the Vanguard Guild’s auction was finally starting in a few days.

’It seems like the Vanguard Guild is operating really well.’ Xu Feng thought, reading the reports about Veronica’s management sent to him by Carmen.

It wasn’t perfect, but it wasn’t terrible either.

Of course, that was because his standard was too high, but if he had to evaluate it from another perspective, then Veronica’s management level was above average.

She managed to calculate all varieties of possibilities and crises that might occur during the auction and increase security.

To ensure everyone was working hard, she even incentivized an attractive offer to the Vanguard Guild members that if they worked hard, they would be rewarded generously.

Such a bold move was naturally something else that required permission and authorization.

Additionally, Carmen did attempt to bring up the topic of authorization and Xu Feng simply said do what she believed was best. He won’t question the process, but sure as hell would review once the outcome was made.

Otherwise, how were they supposed to learn and improve?

As Xu Feng confirmed that everything was smooth-going, he sent a message to Carmen that he wouldn’t be available for contact.

Once he finished preparing for everything during his days of absence, Xu Feng retrieved the Origin Pass. "It’s time to achieve what I’ve been planning for."

System: Do you wish to undertake the Origin Trial? Y/N

Warning: Player, please be advised to only accept it once you’re confident and determined to take the Origin Trial! Once accepted, the Origin Pass would disappear! If the player were to log out at any moment during the Origin Trial, then it would be defaulted as if the player had given up!

Seeing the flashing red warning appeared, Xu Feng knew he got the legitimate thing. Otherwise, the system wouldn’t have warned the player and even advised them to be certain they wouldn’t log out in the middle of the trial.

There was no second chance or redo once the player clicked the [Yes] button after all.
