【Mission Completed】

【Return starts now】

Ke Cheng looked at the indifferent and cold words in front of him and the cup of golden wine in his hand, feeling unbelievable.

There really is golden wine in this world.

It was a treasure bestowed upon this world by an indescribable and great being that came from a strange sacrifice on the sea.

Of course, all the gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

The alchemists on that ship sacrificed the entire crew in exchange for only four cups of golden wine, two of which were drunk, while the remaining alchemists killed each other and eventually died at sea.

The surviving alchemist also suffered hardships afterwards, leaving behind only a few words, which became the breeding ground and soil for the legend of golden wine.

However, the wine is indeed real.

Along the way, Ke Cheng killed pirates, fought sea monsters, challenged dangerous traps, and even had to face the mysterious guarding monster.

The extraordinaryness of this world has far exceeded my expectations.

Even in his craziest nightmare, Ke Cheng had never seen such an indescribable monster.

Even now, when the mission was completed, his hands were still shaking. He was excited by the thrilling scene just now, but also sad for his companions who had passed away along the way.

Who would have thought that there were only two people on the entire ship who arrived here.

The feeling of being alive has never been so wonderful.

Without hesitation, he drank the contents of the cup.

The cold, clear liquid flowed down his throat into his body. Some power beyond scientific understanding was reshaping Ke Cheng's body. He could see that the wounds on his body were healing rapidly, and the huge hole that should have taken his life was slowly wriggling and closing.

He felt a surge of power, his vision became clear, and he felt like he was reborn.

"Although this thing is useless, it should be more than enough to extend your life. However, everything has a price."

At the side, the beautiful girl in leather pants and long boots spoke with interest, which made Ke Cheng's heart skip a beat.

"Extending lifespan...wouldn't that mean you can live forever?"

He looked at the beautiful girl in astonishment.

This girl looks weak, but her fighting ability is unfathomable. Even in the most critical moment, she just strolled leisurely and ignored the monsters.

And those murderous, terrifying monsters were like docile kittens and puppies in front of this girl.

Who is she?

Ke Cheng asked this question, but the other party did not give a direct answer.

Of course, there was no heart-wrenching love story or dangerous suspension bridge effect between Ke Cheng and the other party. He was just afraid of the girl.

Now, the girl told Ke Cheng that this legendary golden wine could only prolong life but not bring immortality, and he felt stunned.

"There is no such thing as immortality. Did you see those monsters just now? They were the result of people who drank the golden wine and were tortured beyond recognition, but could not die."

The girl smiled and said with a gloating look on her face.

"You already have a terminal illness, and the golden wine can only alleviate the symptoms. Originally you probably only had half a year to live, but now you can at least live another two or three years. Isn't this something worth celebrating?"

Hearing the girl's words, Ke Cheng was stunned.

Indeed, his own death was approaching, but after going through all these adventures, he was able to live a few more years. This could not be explained by a medical miracle.

If everything he saw was not done by himself, Ke Cheng would probably pray to the gods and believe that it was a blessing from some god.

"If you want to truly cure your illness, continue exploring this foreign land, wait for the next mission, and do your best to survive."

The girl spoke as if she was expecting something, which made Ke Cheng feel dazed.

The surrounding scenery changed, and Kecheng returned to the starry sky.

This time he could clearly feel the existence of his body. He opened the game panel, found the exit button, and immediately felt relieved.

After quitting the game and taking off his helmet, Ke Cheng discovered that only one hour had passed.

He had clearly spent at least a month at sea!

The pain in his abdomen eased a lot. Ke Cheng sat up and stepped on the ground. The solid touch made him feel unreal.

Is the world of the ocean real, or is the present real?

The beautiful girl was no longer by his side, and everything seemed like a dream.

Ke Cheng clenched his fists and found that his strength had indeed increased a lot. He hurriedly wanted to confirm his physical condition.

When the doctor was found by Ke Cheng, he felt a little strange.

Ke Cheng's health is already dying, and their department usually only does routine examinations. Did he have a premonition of something when he found me now?

Many people will feel something when their time is up, and maybe Ke Cheng also felt that something was wrong.

The doctor simply drew blood and did some tests, but the results wouldn't be available until the next day, so he let Ke Cheng go back to sleep. Finally, he considered whether he should ask his colleagues in the psychology department to intervene.

The next day, the doctor received the test report and his eyes widened in disbelief.

"…Although the cancer cells are still present in your body, the diseased parts have actually begun to heal on their own. Some organs that have been affected have even been repaired. How is this possible?"

The doctor said to Ke Cheng, but soon he turned around and said.

"However, the cancer cells are still there, and your condition still needs to be treated with caution. Well, I just think you can consider active treatment. Of course, the decision is up to you."

The doctor was also a little confused. In this situation, if active treatment was started, the patient might be able to turn the danger into safety and survive.

But if the treatment is ineffective, it would be equivalent to taking away hope for patients who are already ready to say goodbye to this world, causing secondary harm.

After all, the patients who leave the palliative care department are only lying down, and no one has ever been seen walking out.

"I see……"

Ke Cheng, who was originally a little confused, was greatly shocked after receiving the doctor's diagnosis report.

"This is obviously just a game, why is this happening?"

This is not something that can be achieved simply by maintaining a positive mental attitude. Golden Wine has actually prolonged its life.

If only I could find more golden wine, or something like that...

He remembered what the beautiful girl said.

Everything you want is in a foreign land.

The feeling of being truly alive...

When Ke Cheng thought about this, he quickly came up with an idea.

The next day, Ke Cheng immediately went through the discharge procedures. He no longer needed a comfortable environment or wait for death.

He wants to live, to keep on living, and live a more wonderful life than anyone else.

After being discharged from the hospital, breathing the fresh air outside without the smell of disinfectant, the first thing Ke Cheng did was to go to the nearest shopping mall and buy a [Morning Star]. After returning home, he didn't even bother to clean up and immediately logged into his account.

【Welcome to the Quiet Place】

Familiar words appeared before his eyes, and Ke Cheng felt quite at ease.
