Chapter 34 Dark Paradise (12) - A Beauty Comes Knocking
The moment they stepped out of the exit and were drenched by the waterfall, the three of them instantly returned to normal.
At the same time, the voice of the exit announcement rang in my ears: "Welcome back again."
Seeing that Ning Shu was bleeding from several places on her body, Cheng Chuan wanted to curse. "Screw your 'return visit'! You think your service is great, huh!"
Wu Yi said to Cheng Chuan, "Stop supporting her, quickly carry her on your back, let's go to the pharmacy to apply some medicine to her?"
Just as Cheng Chuan was about to carry the person on his back and head towards the pharmacy, he ran into a staff member from the park.
"Hello customers, this customer doesn't seem to be in good condition. Would you like to try the treatment services offered by our facility?" the staff member said to them in a friendly manner as soon as they arrived.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi asked in unison, "How much will it cost?"
"This treatment service is specially prepared for customers and is free of charge," the other party replied with a smile.
Wu Yi was delighted; was there such a service?
Cheng Chuan didn't dare to answer directly that he wanted to use it, but instead asked if he could go and take a look first.
The staff did not object and led them to the "free treatment service" she had mentioned.
Looking at the unfamiliar machine, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi were both a little confused.
They had passed this location several times before but had never seen the machine.
Cheng Chuan guessed that this machine, like the pharmacy, only appeared when triggered, or that it was always there, but could only be seen when certain conditions were met.
This machine is somewhat similar to a beverage vending machine, except that there is a small pool next to the machine.
The small pool was filled with liquid, which had a faint blue glow. In places where there was no light, this light could be used as a lamp.
Although the color is quite pretty, it's fine for appreciation, but I always feel it's poisonous if used for treatment.
This is a perception ingrained in the genes of the Chinese people.
Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi looked at each other, both doubting the effectiveness of this thing in treating illness.
Just then, an injured tourist came along.
The other person had just participated in some activity, and had injuries of varying sizes all over their body.
It's not too serious, but it's definitely not pleasant; you can tell just by looking at the other person's condition.
The person simply pressed a few buttons on the machine, seemingly selecting a treatment option, before walking into the glowing pool.
In just a few minutes, the man's wounds had healed, his earlier exhaustion was gone, and he walked past them with renewed energy and left.
Holy crap, what's the difference between this healing speed and restarting a game? Even Hua Tuo (a legendary Chinese physician) wouldn't be this slow.
And then this person showed up and demonstrated in front of them right after they hesitated; it always felt like a plant.
Seeing Cheng Chuan hesitate, Wu Yi urged, "Do we need this? If not, we need to take Ning Shu to the pharmacy or find her a doctor right away. Look at the state she's in."
Cheng Chuan knew that Ning Shu had probably overexerted herself up there, which was why she got injured. She was feeling dizzy and confused, so asking her to make a decision would be pointless.
This pool looks a bit strange, and he's not really keen on trying it: "Let's go to the pharmacy first."
Cheng Chuan thought this pool should be considered as a backup option.
But the game seems to have deliberately set this challenge for them, as the medicine in the pharmacy requires a minimum of 50 points to buy!
They can't even scrape together 20 points right now.
Wu Yi could only watch Cheng Chuan and wait for him to make the decision.
Cheng Chuan whispered the situation to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu felt the pain was excruciating. She wanted to go back and soak in the water of that slide, feeling that only that water could relieve her pain.
She knew something was definitely wrong, and then a treatment service that could "save" her appeared, making it really hard to refuse.
This is like asking someone adrift at sea not to drink seawater, because it won't quench their thirst, and hoping they will continue to endure it. In reality, very few people can do that.
Ning Shu is now a "water-thirsty person," and she decides to try that service.
As they approached the healing pool, someone suddenly appeared and said to them, "I suggest you don't use that pool."
When Cheng Chuan and the others took a look, they discovered that she was actually a mature and beautiful woman.
This was the first time someone had warned them in the game. Judging from the other person's demeanor, Cheng Chuan asked, "Are you a player?"
The beautiful woman did not deny it, but stared straight at them, seemingly observing their reaction.
Ning Shu, who was feeling unwell at the moment, didn't think too much. Since the other party had appeared and said such a thing, they must have a solution.
She asked directly, "Do you have any other solutions? I'm feeling terrible."
The beautiful woman replied, "Yes, I can help you, but I have conditions."
Ning Shu was prepared for this; the other party certainly wouldn't help out of meddling.
"What are the conditions?"
The beautiful woman said, "I'll temporarily team up with you. My special skill is healing, so you won't be at a disadvantage if you team up with me. If I can survive, you'll survive even better."
Healing ability?!
Isn't this like someone delivering a pillow just when you're about to fall asleep? Not only Ning Shu, but Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi also knew what this meant.
"Okay, let's save them first," Cheng Chuan decided decisively.
The beautiful woman led them to a secluded spot and began treating Ning Shu. Her hands covered Ning Shu's wounds, emitting a faint green light.
Ning Shu's wound is visibly healing, but it still leaves a scar, which doesn't look very nice.
The beautiful woman healed almost all of Ning Shu's wounds and then said, "That's enough. It won't affect your next move."
Ning Shu felt that not only had her wounds healed, but her spirits had also improved considerably, while the beautiful woman's complexion was not so good.
"Are you alright?" Ning Shu asked with concern.
The beautiful woman smiled wryly: "It's nothing, it's just a side effect of my innate skill. It's a trade-off."
Ning Shu, judging from the beautiful woman's appearance, thought she was older than her: "What's your name, Miss?"
Beautiful woman: "Li Mengqi".
Cheng Chuan was even more curious about why she chose to cooperate with them.
Li Mengqi fell silent. Ning Shu and the others were a little curious. Was this question difficult to answer?
"Actually, I've noticed you guys for a while now, and I think you have a great sense of organization."
She admired them when she saw them begging in the amusement park because of their stutter.
"How did you figure that out?"
"..." This is really putting Li Mengqi in a difficult position.
How exactly could she choose her words to express "collective begging" elegantly?
Finally, he managed to say, "You two have a great relationship, and I think you can be partners who can work together."
What is she supposed to say?! The little voice in my head is scratching its head frantically!
These words struck a chord with Cheng Chuan. Indeed, their relationship was "extraordinary," and he had dedicated the darkest moments of his life to his teammates.
After everyone finished introducing themselves, Li Mengqi asked, "You only completed this one project, right?"
Ning Shu and the other two nodded, wondering if she had passed several.
Li Mengqi nodded and said, "Yes, I only passed this one too."
"..." Is this how you talk about things?
Li Mengqi pulled out the map from his pocket again: "Let's compare which areas each side has developed."
!
The three were shocked. Could this map really be used to develop new areas?
