The boy visibly improved once his bleeding stopped, yet the mute girl holding him started trembling. Her eyes filled with tears as she gazed at Xu Huo, a mix of fear and excitement in her expression. But since she couldn't speak, she merely opened her mouth, eventually making no further response.
The boy did not faint. After recovering a bit, he knelt on the ground before Xu Huo, bowing deeply, "Thank you for saving me. I want to become a player. Please teach me, and I will definitely repay your kindness in the future!"
"There are no children among players," Xu Huo said.
"I'm not a child, I'm already ten years old. In a few years, I'll grow up. I want to become a player. I don't want to rot here like everyone else," the boy raised his head to look at him, eyes flashing with a maturity and resolve beyond his years, "I want to kill all those evil people. They don't deserve to live in this world!"
