Chapter 24: Xia Bai, the Corpse Collector
After the system sound disappeared, Xia Bai returned to the dormitory, a real dormitory of Peace Medical College, with bright lights, clean and refreshing.
There were only him, Lin Xiang, Hua Haoming, Song Mingliang and Meng Tianyou in the dormitory.
The most seriously injured was Meng Tianyou, who lost a leg and was dying. Lin Xiang also looked particularly miserable, with bones exposed on his back and right arm, and blood all over his body. They could not delay and had to treat him immediately.
Hua Haoming also looked very weak, his face was pale, and he kept dry heaving, as if he was about to vomit at any time.
He resisted the urge to vomit and said in a hoarse voice, "Meng Tianyou must be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately. When I open the door, the doctor will come in and take Meng Tianyou and Lin Xiang to the ambulance. Don't say anything and just follow him."
Xia Bai and Lin Xiang nodded, but Song Mingliang remained silent.
Hua Haoming was very experienced. After opening the dormitory door, he saw a doctor carrying a stretcher towards him.
One of the doctors looked at Hua Haoming, nodded to him, and said on the intercom: "There was a fight in the freshman dormitory. Two people were seriously injured. Carry them down immediately."
Outside the dormitory is the real world that they are familiar with and feel safe.
People from the dormitory on the same floor came out one after another, looking at them with curiosity and surprise, not understanding why someone would fight so badly on the first day of arriving in the dormitory. There was no grudge between them, and it was just a small conflict over the bed at most?
They don't know what these people have been through.
These people didn't mind being stared at like this at all. It all seemed so familiar and friendly, so friendly that it made them want to cry.
It’s great to be back.
These students who are eating melons are so cute.
They are so happy not knowing anything.
Meng Tianyou and Lin Xiang were taken to the ambulance, while Xia Bai, Song Mingliang and Hua Haoming got into another car and drove out of Heping Medical College one after another.
Xia Bai asked: "Will they be okay?"
He noticed that Meng Tianyou's breathing was so weak that he could not be felt, and there should not be much blood left. Normally, he could not be saved.
"Lin Xiang is definitely fine. As for Meng Tianyou, he should be able to be saved as well." Hua Haoming said, "There are players with healing skills. As long as they come out of the game with a breath of air, they can be saved. Since the rescue team took Meng Tianyou to the ambulance, there should be such a player among them."
He drank some water, and suddenly felt the urge to vomit again. "You guys watch the game app first, I'll go downstairs..."
Before he finished speaking, he jumped out of the car.
"vomit!"
“…”
After Hua Haoming got off, except for the driver in front of the tailgate, only Xia Bai and Song Mingliang were left in the car.
Including the time in the game, Song Mingliang hasn't spoken for several days.
Xia Bai said: "He died because of the game."
Song Mingliang's body trembled, his head lowered even lower, but he still didn't speak.
Xia Bai didn't say anything more to him. He turned on his phone and looked for the game app that the system and Hua Haoming had mentioned. There were very few apps in old phones, and many of the app owners didn't know how to use them. It was also because the phone couldn't handle too many apps, so the extra app was very conspicuous.
A drop of thick blood flowed out into two bifurcated streams, like a curved bloody "人" character, forming an icon of a game app without any text.
Some players gave it a name. Xia Bai remembered Hua Haoming said it was called "Seeking Truth".
Xia Bai clicked in.
There is a scrolling announcement on the homepage of the game app: The Peace Medical College map has been cracked by players and the game map is being erased.
The following is a: The map of Tunxing Village has been cracked by players, and the game map is being erased.
In addition to the announcement at the top, the homepage is divided into three pagination modules.
The first one is the mall. As the name suggests, the mall is a place for transactions, but the currency here is game points, and the things sold are rarely seen in the real world, such as weapons, props, magic medicines, etc.
The far right side of the page shows Xia Bai’s available points, 1,906,700.
This should be what Xia Bai obtained at Peace Medical College, the "other game rewards" mentioned by the system.
There are quite a lot of things that can be bought with 1.9 million points. In addition to the cancer treatment drugs that Xia Bai thinks are very valuable, there are also some disposable skill props. It can be seen that the reward is very generous.
The second page module is the player communication area. This is the most lively place. It seems that everyone who has entered the game has an app and will enter here, so almost all players gather here.
The most eye-catching thing in the communication area is the top player points ranking list.
Xia Bai clicked on it and saw the top fifty players. The first one was [Wan Gui Mi], the second one was [Psychic], and the third one was [Tree Planter]. All of them were game identities, which protected the privacy of the players to a certain extent.
Xia Bai looked one by one, but did not see the [Corpse Collector].
Xia Bai was stunned.
He looked at the name of the ranking list again, the Player Points Ranking List.
Xia Bai guessed that there would be basic points rewards for each completion of the game. The better the performance in the game, the more points one would get, and the best performer might also get other rewards.
So it is like this, this points ranking list is mainly affected by two factors, the number of times you enter the game and the level of the player's ability.
Some players may not be top-notch players, but if they enter the game many times and do more questions, their points will go up.
Some players are very good, but they seldom enter the game and their points are not many.
In that case, the members of the assault team should be ranked very high.
He remembered that Wen Qiu said Hua Haoming was one of the top 20 players in the player rankings, so he tried to find out who Hua Haoming was among the top 20 players.
He didn't find it. He only knew that Hua Haoming had used a soft sword in the game, but this soft sword didn't match the top 20 identities. These identities seemed to be related to core skills. Maybe Hua Haoming had other skills, at least weapon skills that he didn't know about.
However, since everyone knows his ranking, his identity should not be a secret among players.
Thinking of this, Xia Bai looked at the communication area below.
There are posts on all kinds of topics in the exchange area, including player transactions, gossip, making friends and forming teams, technical analysis, and task rewards. Currently, the most popular topics on the homepage are the Peace Medical College and the Tunxing Village map, with the Peace Medical College being discussed more.
Xia Bai took a quick look and clicked on a post titled "The Peace Medical College map has been breached, Hua Haoming is awesome!"
The author of the post: I saw Hua Haoming at Heping Medical College, and I am sure he was the one who led the new players to complete the game.
1L: The game will adjust the difficulty according to the location of the map. For a top university like Heping Medical College, does it assume that the player has a certain IQ and knowledge reserve? It sounds difficult, and the medical college has a horror atmosphere. It's difficult and scary.
2L: So I say, you guys should not go to such places normally. If the game comes when you go there, you will be in great misfortune.
3L: In short, Two-Faced Man is awesome!
4L: Haha, they say it's Heping Medical College, and they say there are a lot of smart people there, so how do you know that Hua Haoming led us through the exam? What's his academic background?
5L: Heihua is here again. What are you talking about academic qualifications when you want to pass the game? If you have high academic qualifications, why don’t you join the assault team of the Game Management Bureau?
Wen Qiu said that Hua Haoming was as annoying as rumored, and this post somewhat confirmed it. Later on, it turned into a quarrel between Hua Haoming's fans and haters.
Xia Bai didn't look back, he had already seen what he wanted to know.
Hua Haoming’s identity is a two-faced person, and he ranks 16th in the player points ranking.
Two-faced person. What skills does this identity represent?
Can that soft sword represent it? There is a saying that it is a double-edged sword, but it is not accurate enough.
Hua Haoming should not have used the skills related to this identity in the Peace Medical College copy, but why didn't he use it? The situation was already very critical at the time.
Xia Bai stayed in the forum for two or three minutes and then went to look at the third pagination module that he was most concerned about - the player's personal page.
The personal page is divided into three modules: player basic information, player skill and wealth column, and player achievements.
Player basic information:
Name: Xia Bai.
Game identity: corpse collector.
Age: 19.
Intelligence: 94.
Stamina: 83.
Luck value: 72.
Physical condition: generally healthy, with amnesia.
This posture is the physical condition. He is basically healthy and there is no problem. Xia Bai stared at the words "amnesia" for a few more seconds.
Hua Haoming said that people have no dignity in games. It is true. Part of human dignity is privacy. In games, their memories and experiences are all naked. The game sees everything clearly without any obstruction.
Xia Bai has no memory before the age of twelve. His grandfather said that he had a serious illness that year and had a near-death experience. He finally survived but his health deteriorated and his memory was burned out. He started school in the second half of his twelve years old.
I know all these games.
The second module is the player skill wealth column. The top of the page shows Xia Bai’s points and ranking: 1906700, 1021.
There are only two columns below, the first column is the [Zombie] skill book, and the second column is [Parasitic Man Xuemu].
It was obvious that the system asked him to read carefully the [Zombie] skill book, and Xia Bai clicked on the skill book in order.
Skills: Living Dead.
Current level: Level 1.
Skill attributes: soul skills.
Skill type: contract skill, growth skill.
Skill usage instructions:
After obtaining the consent of the corpse's owner before his death, the player can pick up the corpse and become the corpse's second owner, using all of the corpse's skill items (note: excluding soul skills, which may be damaged), and physically animate the corpse to a certain extent based on the skill level.
Additional Skill Effects:
Affinity with corpses +100%, increases as skill upgrades.
Corpse register (corpse storage space)
Others (to be explored by players).
Skill usage reminder: Soul skills will affect the player's soul and may have side effects.
Xia Bai's eyes widened little by little, his cheeks flushed with excitement, and he covered his chest with his hands.
Hua Haoming said that obtaining soul skills requires fate and compatibility with the player. This is too much of a coincidence, it is a skill that is exactly in line with his dreams.
He touched the family tree in his pocket tremblingly, and clicked on the corpse book on his mobile phone. It could actually be renamed. Xia Bai immediately changed the "corpse book" to "family tree".
He sat quietly for a long while before he calmed the excitement in his eyes, steadied his breathing, and continued looking down.
The following is [Parasite Xue Mu], who was given to his younger sister Xue Mu by the elder sister Xue Mu before the end of the game.
He actually didn't know why his sister Xue Mu did this, and had two uncertain guesses.
The first one came from the apology from her sister Xue Mu that she heard at that time. She might have felt that she was not a qualified sister.
Second, seeing how easily Xuemu pulled her sister out of her mouth, they may no longer be able to live together like before, and the sister can no longer support her sister. Perhaps she also knew her own fate, so she entrusted her sister to him, allowing her sister to have a broad and free life that she had never had before.
The game app clearly showed the sister's condition at the moment. She was curled up and crying. It was a posture that Xia Bai was very familiar with, half-lying down with her hair covering her whole body.
Xia Bai touched her gently.
Her introduction popped up on the phone.
[Parasitic Snowwood]: Small in body, eats little, easy to feed, only needs a little love and blood. Great in power, no matter how deep your fetishes and desires are, they cannot escape her eyes. Don't make her angry, she will curse you if she gets angry.
It turns out that she survives on human love and blood, and only a little bit is needed.
When she was sewn into the woman's belly, there was no blood. How did she survive? Was it love? Did her sister still love her after her death?
Maybe she was dead? Not alive in the human sense?
Xue Mu hated eyes, so Xia Bai stopped looking here and turned to the last column of the player’s personal page, player achievements.
The only achievement for the player is the cover of the map that the player has cleared, so Xia Bai only has one Peace Medical College. The cover is a photo of the entire college with the anatomy laboratory building as the center, in black and white, and dead silent.
Looking at this cover, Xia Bai imagined a scene in his mind of Chu Xuelin walking in the college on a sunny day, bending down to smell the pea flowers.
After coming to his senses, he couldn't explain why he searched for Chu Xuelin on the Internet, but to no avail.
He then went to several top medical schools and universities in the country to search for the name Chu Xuelin in detail. The first one was Heping Medical College, and he found the name in the first college.
Xia Bai stared blankly at the names on the list of freshmen admitted eight years ago, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Xia Bai exhaled, turned off his phone and looked out the window. It was dark and he had no idea where the car was. Everything was obscured by the darkness and there was no way to see anything.
Do you believe that there is a person like Chu Xuelin in the world?
