Lin Tianhao was overwhelmed with emotion. Having been reborn, he had dreamed of changing everything. But now, he couldn't even save his own sister. The doctor shook his head, "We've done everything we can. Although we drained a lot of blood, the blood that entered the cerebellum has already eroded it. The best outcome is that she will be in a vegetative state and could die at any moment."
Lin Tianhao's heart felt cold. "Can I see my sister?" he asked.
"Go ahead, but remember to control your emotions," the doctor sighed.
Lin Tianhao entered the operating room. There were still a few medical staff doing follow-up work. Looking at his sister lying on the hospital bed, Lin Tianhao's fingers trembled slightly.
"Can I really not change anything?" Lin Tianhao gritted his teeth. He was not willing to accept this outcome.
"Condolences," a medical staff member shook his head at Lin Tianhao.
Lin Tianhao forced himself to hold back his grief as he walked to the bedside. He had experienced countless life-and-death situations in his previous life, and his character had become resilient. But today, seeing his sister on the verge of leaving him again, the sense of despair and helplessness overwhelmed him, and tears streamed down his face.
"Why!!" he shouted. "Why did this have to happen to me!!" Lin Tianhao clenched his fists, hating his own powerlessness.
"Perhaps she still has a chance," a childish voice suddenly said. A young Taoist, dressed in a robe and looking only seventeen or eighteen years old, appeared at the entrance of the operating room.
Lin Tianhao turned around excitedly, as if he had grasped the last straw. "Save her, please save my sister," he pleaded.
"I can't guarantee it," the young Taoist said.
"What about your master? Can he?" Lin Tianhao was emotional, thinking that such a young Taoist must have a great master behind him.
"My master is dead," the Taoist shook his head.
Lin Tianhao gritted his teeth. "Alright, please save my sister. If you can save her, I will definitely repay your great kindness."
The Taoist smiled. "Encounter is fate. I'll give it a try."
The Taoist walked to the bedside. He looked at Lin Qingqing on the bed, and a silver-white glow appeared on his palm. Lin Tianhao was shocked. An internal energy master?! Lin Tianhao knew from his previous life that there were ancient martial artists in the Dragon Kingdom. The skill the young Taoist just showed was very similar to the legendary internal energy masters.
The Taoist raised his hand, and the palm with the silver-white glow gently touched Lin Qingqing's forehead. The glow gradually penetrated into Lin Qingqing's head, and her complexion began to improve. Lin Tianhao was delighted. After a while, the Taoist withdrew his hand.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Your sister is not in danger of death, but she will still be in a vegetative state," he said with a sigh. "After all, my Taoist practice is not enough."
"What should I call you, Taoist?" Lin Tianhao was very grateful. Even if it was just a vegetative state, it was much better than the previous situation.
"I am Zhang Ye, my Taoist name is Ambitious," the Taoist said.
Lin Tianhao's mouth twitched. "Taoist Zhang, thank you for saving my sister. I have ten thousand dollars in this card, all for you."
Zhang Ye shook his head. "That's too much. Give me ten thousand dollars, and I can buy a game pod."
"A game pod? Are you also going to play Twilight of the Gods?" Lin Tianhao asked.
Zhang Ye nodded. "Yes, I observed the stars at night and found that there are opportunities in Twilight of the Gods. It may help me break through the shackles and reach the legendary realm."
Lin Tianhao was surprised. Zhang Ye could even figure this out, and he could make friends with him. But currently, he couldn't let too many people in the real world know about his situation in the game, otherwise it would be very dangerous. In his previous life, there were cases of top players being kidnapped or even killed offline. Now the game attributes had not yet been actualized, so he had to be careful.
"You saved my sister with such a great kindness, ten thousand dollars is too little. Taoist Zhang, keep more money on you, it will be more convenient in the future," Lin Tianhao said, placing the bank card in Taoist Zhang's hand. "The password is 157988."
Zhang Ye smiled. "Alright, thank you then."
After chatting with Zhang Ye for a while, he left. Now that his sister was out of danger, she still needed to recuperate in the hospital for a few days to recover as soon as possible. After arranging everything for his sister, Lin Tianhao returned to his rental house and entered the game again.
This time, he was delayed for more than three hours, and his game progress was slowed down. But Lin Tianhao didn't think it was a problem. Next, the conflict between Blacksmith Wang and the village head was going to get sharper.
The NPCs in the Novice Village were different from wild monsters. They would not respawn after death. Lin Tianhao looked at the five bosses he had already hunted. He had to think about how to complete the follow-up task from the village head. If he continued to hunt NPCs, he could definitely do it with his strength. But Lin Tianhao did not plan to do that, because it was really easy to play with fire and burn himself, attracting the village head's attention and making it impossible to complete the follow-up tasks.
However, at present, he could not bear to give up the village head's task. After thinking it over, Lin Tianhao finally chose to start hunting bosses from level five wild monsters. There were five bosses from level five to nine. Hunting these five bosses and submitting the task might reduce the task reward a bit, but it was the safest way.
He thought and did it. Lin Tianhao began to farm from the area of level five wild monsters. He farmed all the way to level nine and hunted five bosses in the Novice Village. Together with the bosses he had hunted before, Lin Tianhao had already hunted ten bosses in the Novice Village and could go to the village head to submit the task.
Novice Village, the village head's courtyard. When Lin Tianhao arrived here, there were quite a few players submitting the out-of-village task. At this time node, ordinary players had gradually reached level ten. If it were not for those who were still farming the Twisted Jungle, there would be more people gathered here.
After they left, Lin Tianhao came to the village head.
"Village head, I have already hunted ten bosses," Lin Tianhao submitted the task.
The village head nodded in surprise, "Not bad, Snow Emperor, I really didn't make a mistake about you."
"Ding, you have completed the village head's task."
"Task reward: +20 gold coins, +20 free attribute points, +1 luck, +1 Pure Eye."
Pure Eye: Special equipment.
Wearing requirements: None.
Effect: Can see through the night, illusions, and have a large visible range in the fog.
Durability: 100.
Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up. This piece of equipment did not indicate a level and belonged to special equipment. With this effect, it was definitely a must-have skill for archers. The game's night was still somewhat visible at present. But after the great catastrophe, the visibility would be greatly reduced, and that would be the real night. Some powerful adventurers themselves were killed by the monsters of the Alait Star System at night because of their insufficient night vision.
