Chapter 165: Chapter 155: Might as Well Give It a Try
"What is Miss Tang doing?"
Xiao Hu’s family was also standing in the crowd. Seeing Tang Mo on the stage, Xiao Hu asked in confusion.
"Maybe she’s helping Wuxi Village solve its problems," Xiao Tao answered, her eyes fixed on Tang Mo, who seemed to be shining on the stage.
Although Xiao Tao had been bedridden, she wasn’t completely oblivious to the outside world. She had a relatively clear understanding of Wuxi Village’s current situation.
Wuxi Village was sick, and it would take a strong dose of medicine to cure it.
And Tang Mo was that medicine.
"I’ve gathered everyone here today to tell you something."
Once everyone had arrived, Sect Leader Guo Mingyi stepped onto the stage and addressed the crowd.
"For some unknown reason, most of us in Wuxi Village are Spirit Attribute Superpower Users. But you haven’t taken advantage of this. You’re unwilling to work hard to improve your attributes, just drifting aimlessly day by day.
Before, you hunted mutant beasts to trade for Medicinal Insects just to stay alive. Now that the scam has been exposed, you’ve lost all your fighting spirit.
When it comes down to it, don’t you all just think the Spirit Attribute is useless?"
Guo Mingyi wasn’t old, but his every word was forceful and resonant, striking a chord in everyone’s heart.
The villagers below were completely silent. No one spoke, but they all tacitly agreed with the Sect Leader’s words.
For some unknown reason, most of them in Wuxi Village were Spirit Attribute Superpower Users.
But the Spirit Attribute was nowhere near as practical as other attributes for daily life and hunting mutant beasts, so very few people put any effort into improving it.
’What’s the point of trying so hard if we’re all going to die anyway?’
Tang Mo was a Spirit Attribute Superpower User herself; she knew their way of thinking all too well.
She had been the same way in her past life. Forget about healing—she couldn’t even use her spiritual power for physical attacks.
The only thing she knew how to do was channel spiritual power into her own body, but since her spiritual power was weak, it wasn’t particularly useful.
"Today, I’m telling you that the Spirit Attribute is the strongest attribute in the world! As long as you cultivate your attribute to a high enough level, you won’t need any Medicinal Insects. You’ll be able to heal the sick and save lives yourselves. Every single one of you can become a Divine Doctor Hua Tuo!"
Guo Mingyi’s words were powerful, but the effect wasn’t very noticeable.
The crowd below just whispered among themselves; it didn’t create the huge stir he had imagined.
It wasn’t that the news wasn’t shocking. The idea that the Spirit Attribute could heal the sick and save lives was like being handed an ace in the hole for survival. It meant they could truly live in this post-apocalyptic world. How could that not be shocking?
But the people of Wuxi Village had been tricked one too many times.
The faith they had held onto for so long had turned out to be a scam.
Now, being asked to believe in something new... they were genuinely afraid.
After falling from great hope into despair, none of them could bear such a blow again. And so, no one believed the Sect Leader’s words.
’What the Sect Leader is saying... how could that be possible?’
"I know that just saying this will make you all suspicious. That’s why I’ve gathered you here today. This young lady on the stage is named Tang Mo. I believe many of you have seen her before."
Guo Mingyi was mentally prepared for this reaction, and he continued speaking, unhurried.
"Tang Mo?"
"Is she *the* Tang Mo from the rankings?"
"No wonder she could take down the previous Sect Leader. She must have some serious skills."
"She’s the one with the gold icon next to her name, right? I wonder what that is."
The whispering below grew louder.
Of course they had seen and remembered Tang Mo.
They just hadn’t known her name before. Now that they did, they could connect her to the name on the rankings.
No matter how isolated a place was, with the ID Watches, information from the outside world was accessible to all.
And the attribute ranking, which updated precisely at midnight every day, was something everyone in Huaxia checked multiple times a day.
The list didn’t change much, so any shift in the rankings was quickly noticed by everyone.
As for the permanent fixtures on that list, everyone knew them incredibly well.
"Miss Tang is a Spirit Attribute Superpower User. Her Spirit Attribute is much higher than yours, which is why she has already reached a level where she can heal the sick and save lives. Now, if any of you have seriously ill family members, bring them here. With so many eyes watching, we will see if spiritual power can truly heal!"
This was the plan Tang Mo and Guo Mingyi had come up with yesterday.
’Don’t the people of Wuxi Village think the Medicinal Insects are their faith, their salvation? If they can’t live without faith, then I’ll make them understand that a person can be their own faith. In this world, no one can save you from dire straits. Only you can be your own salvation.’
As for healing with spiritual power, Tang Mo had no intention of hiding it. It was a skill she would be using often in the future, so there was no need to conceal it.
She had also told Guo Mingyi that as long as there were people in Wuxi Village whose Spirit Attribute reached a certain level, she would personally teach them how to use spiritual power to heal.
Her thinking was very clear. Since she had obtained the pattern from Wuxi Village, it was only right to use it to save Wuxi Village. It was what she should do.
However, Tang Mo didn’t tell Guo Mingyi about the pattern for tangible spiritual power attacks that she also got from here.
One reason was that it was an ace she needed to keep for her own survival.
The other reason was that she only wanted to create more Spirit Attribute Superpower Users who could heal the sick and save lives, not more who could kill.
’Bring people here now?’
The villagers were a bit stunned. They thought the Sect Leader was just giving his routine pep talk, another empty promise. Why was he getting serious all of a sudden?
They really weren’t used to this.
’But since he’s gone this far... maybe, just maybe... there’s really hope?’
A few quick-moving young people, the spark of hope not yet completely extinguished in their eyes, quickly ran out from the crowd.
A short while later, they returned, carrying and supporting their critically ill family members.
Because they weren’t fully convinced by the Sect Leader’s words, only three young men had brought their sick relatives.
The few who were brought were so ill they could barely speak or walk, which was why they hadn’t attended the meeting.
Following the Sect Leader’s direction, the patients took seats one by one in front of Tang Mo’s table.
One patient couldn’t even sit up, so Tang Mo took a mattress and bedding out of her Space and had him lie down comfortably on it.
It was only when Tang Mo pulled a mattress out of thin air that everyone remembered.
’Wait a minute, didn’t the news say Tang Mo was a Space Ability User? How is she a Spirit Attribute Superpower User now?’
The young man who had settled his father onto the mattress looked particularly grim.
His father was the most important person in his Life. He had been bitten by a mutant beast, and the resulting infection had grown so severe that he could no longer move.
He had taken a huge risk, gambling on this one chance, to carry his father here.
If Tang Mo couldn’t actually do it, moving his father like this would definitely make his injuries even worse...
