Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 183: Draining the Lake to Catch Fish Caring for All Beings as One's Own


Faced with Mao Xuan's inquiry, Xiao Jin, whose infection was worsening, was already unable to provide any answer.

A low roar erupted from his throat, large areas of his eyes were covered in gray, and his body was about to be fully controlled by the Immortal Virus.

This put Mao Xuan in a difficult position.

Collecting Wish Power depends on the intensity of the target's desire. Healing isn't difficult; the trouble lies in potentially losing sacrificial power.

But upon careful reflection, this is a good opportunity to test the strength of Wish Power acquisition.

Summoning the store panel, he entered the keywords, and a list of products appeared before his eyes.

Spending 300 points of sacrificial power, he purchased a Clear Heart Pill.

The introduction explains that this is a medicine capable of clearing negative statuses, and it is quite expensive.

At this price, players usually wouldn't use it themselves, as it seems easier to just die and return to the black room.

But in order to acquire Wish Power, Mao Xuan decided to buy it and try.

He crouched down and stuffed the pale blue pill into Xiao Jin's mouth; the pill dissolved automatically upon entry and slid down the throat.

Some of the liquid was absorbed by the oral mucosa.

At this moment, Xiao Jin's body was still trembling violently, the veins under the skin bulging, and black-purple patterns spread across his body like twisted vines.

A hoarse roar continuously emanated from the depths of his throat.

A few seconds later, a strange change occurred.

Xiao Jin's frantically waving arms slowly came to a halt, and his roars gradually turned into low groans of suffering.

The previously gray eyes slowly regained clarity, and the gray swiftly faded from his eyes.

Immediately afterward, the black-purple patterns on his skin quickly dissolved like Ice meeting heat, retreating at a visible speed back to the cheeks initially infected by the Immortal Virus, until they completely disappeared.

The skin that was previously cracked and seeping black blood also gradually became smooth and flat, restoring its normal color.

His breathing changed from rapid and chaotic to steady and orderly, his body no longer trembled, regaining control of his limbs.

Within just a few seconds, the traces of transformation and destruction by the Immortal Virus vanished completely, as if they never existed.

For the beings of the Small World, the Immortal Virus was a catastrophe that couldn't produce a cure, but for players, it was merely a negative status.

If you want to solve it, there are plenty of ways.

The high-quality spiritual resources required to formulate antidotes couldn't be found in the Small World, but they were plenty in the store.

After Xiao Jin's infection was cleared, Challenger Tips kept echoing in Mao Xuan's mind:

[Challenger Tips: Acquired Wish Power +229 provided by Blackie (as long as the target is alive and remembers this event, there is a chance to continue acquiring Wish Power).]

[Challenger Tips: Acquired Wish Power provided by Xiao Jin: 225.]

[Challenger Tips: Acquired Wish Power provided by Ah Shi: 92.]

[Challenger Tips: ...]

The tips echoed continuously in his mind, a radiant smile appeared on Mao Xuan's face.

More importantly, he discovered that acquiring Wish Power is a long-term business.

In the future, if these survivors recall everything that happened today, infuse their emotions at that time, and think about the suffocating despair, the gratitude arising from their hearts would once again provide him with a certain amount of Wish Power.

This means that as long as these guys live long enough, the production of Wish Power can also be sustained.

Remember the past and produce Wish Power.

This business is delightful!

However, Mao Xuan's smile, in the eyes of Blackie and others, was the delight felt after a God had aided the earthly beings.

It was evident that this deity greatly respected these mortals.

Before rendering aid, he had even carefully asked if Xiao Jin had any desire to continue living, respecting personal wishes, and not forcing those who wished to die.

"Oh God, can you save our leader," came an urgent voice.

Mao Xuan turned his head and saw that it was a young warrior speaking.

Following the direction of his finger, he saw an elderly warrior lying on the ground, already deceased, still clutching modified weapons tightly in his hands.

This request put Mao Xuan in a quandary.

Though he was willing, he truly couldn't resurrect a deceased Life.

Players possess the ability for Infinite resurrection, but this ability cannot be provided to non-player targets.

Nor were there any special items available for sale in the store that could resurrect the dead.

Those on the brink of death could be saved, truly dead ones could not be kept.

Looking at a group of dirty faces, their eyes filled with expectation put tremendous pressure on Mao Xuan.

Their eyes clearly revealed that if he could fulfill this wish, he would surely earn a hefty amount of Wish Power.

But the will was there, the ability was not.

The ten Wish Power unlocking Skills of the Sixth Generation Prayer did not include any traits related to resurrection.

Perhaps only in the future when the Player Corps accommodates the Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, or even the Ultimate Source, the Tenth Generation, will there be traits that could reshape target's Life, making the target resurrect in place.

As for when it might accommodate a Life Soul with resurrection traits, no one could predict.

Facing the request, Mao Xuan shook his head:

"My ability is limited, I can treat the wounded, but cannot resurrect a deceased Life."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of many survivors dimmed.

After glancing around, Mao Xuan asked:

"Does anyone have any needs now, feel free to ask, I'll do my best to fulfill them."

Upon hearing Mao Xuan say he could fulfill their needs, the eyes of many survivors brightened again.

Standing next to him, Blackie hesitated before speaking first:

"Oh God, if possible, we wish for a safe place to reside."

"No problem."

"Oh God, we want food that can fill our stomachs."

"No problem."

"Oh God, we want clean water."

"No problem."

Facing the requests, Mao Xuan agreed to each, and with a wave of his hand, a pile of canned food appeared on the ground.

Next, he planned to find a new place for these survivors to live, as the fortress beneath his feet was dark and damp, with air permeated with various musty odors, hardly suitable for a human dwelling.
