Chapter 66: 7-Star Level

Translated by Karai of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Su Mo was sick for more than a week, during which he had fever again and again, and once he had a high fever in the middle of the night, which scared Lele’s alarm so much that it almost malfunctioned. Fortunately, it was not a big problem, and did not alert the medical station to come to the neighborhood to pull people out of the situation. In addition to the fever, the hardest thing to deal with would be Su Mo’s headache.

He already had intermittent headaches, and the fever made the headaches worse, and he had to take painkillers to slow them down. However, because of his physique, his intake of painkillers is limited, and he could only take them at night when he slept, but otherwise he could only endure.

During this period, Yu Zhen would inquire about his condition every day, and came to the house several times, bringing him food every time he came over.

Either nutritious porridge or medicinal tonic soup …… varied, Lele followed him to copy his homework, and as soon as it saw which porridge or soup Su Mo favored, it rushed up to ask Yu Zhen how to do it.

Su Mo was not used to people treating him like this, and during this time he even tried to send tea leaves and knick-knacks, but Yu Zhen didn’t take any of them and refused his gratitude.

Yu Zhen, “Things don’t need to be sent, you need to get better sooner.”

Su Mo had not sent, but let Lele brew the best tea every time for Yu Zhen, and occasionally make a pot for the other to bring back to drink.

The school side took a half month long vacation, the professors and tutors all knew that he was in a special situation, and just listed the times of several important exams for him, so that he would pay more attention to rest, and go directly to the exam center at that time.

When you are sick, you tend to be lazy, the medical level did not drop below level III, Su Mo could not play games, so he could only nestle in the living room or bedroom to play terminal games, and rehash those games that you are tired of playing, the more you play, the less interested you are.

The only thing he’s happy about was probably the new physical report from Dr. Wu.

He hadn’t gone to this month’s medical checkup yet, and when Dr. Wu came to the house that day, he took some samples along with him, and then brought back a piece of news that Su Mo had never envisioned.

His physique had recovered from the original F-, to F.

F-class physique was special, and the public thinks that F-class patients are F-class, but in fact, because of the division of various physical data, there was also a distinction between F+, F and F-. Originally, Su Mo’s physical data was F-, and even though he could match some E-class physiques in his best state, there was still a huge difference between F and E. A few years ago, Su Mo got a report that showed that he was an F+.

Su Mo had gotten a report a few years ago, which was still pressed in his drawer, and that report had concluded that the F- physique was incurable, and had advised him to give up radical treatments and opt for conservative treatments.

So he gave it up and kept his body healthy all these years on regular medication until he got his new class rating.

“Is this true?”

Dr. Wu said over the comm, “It’s true, we have a special team following up on your case, and even if your current physical condition is different, we’ve done a lineup of other conditions. This report is the data we got after double-checking, you showed us the possibility of healing treatment.”

“If you’re worried, it’s best to have a second medical checkup in a month, and if the fitness data doesn’t drop at that time, it should stabilize later.” Dr. Wu was also happy for Su Mo, “Now at this stage, your physique is F. Congratulations Su Mo.”

This was the happiest news Su Mo had received in all these years.

When Yu Zhen went to deliver the loader, Su Mo was sitting in the living room with long sleeves and long pants, in front of him were all kinds of machine parts and models, he was sitting in the living room alone measuring the data or assembling the parts, coughing a few times every now and then, his voice was hoarse, but he also wanted to brag with the robot about which formula he had measured.

Yu Zhen was a bit touched by this scene, and Su Mo, who was spending time with the robot in private, was as free as a child.

“Brother Zhen, sit first.” Su Mo moved the position of the parts, making the desktop look less messy, “Lele, make some tea.”

“The settings have been changed over at the Loader, the permissions for the parts are in the manual.” Yu Zhen put the loader on the table.

Su Mo took the manual and read it, “Thank you, Brother Zhen.”

Su Mo had lost a circle of weight after being sick, but the spirit on his face was obviously much better.

Yu Zhen looked at him, “I’ll organize a copy of the recent recipes and send it to Lele, grandma was asking about you last night, I thought that you were in much better health before I told her about the past few days, the old lady said to wait until you were better to go to the house and have a meal.”

“Good.” Su Mo just responded.

Yu Zhen added, “You don’t need to bring tea or anything.”

Su Mo slightly paused, and then answered, “Okay.”

Yu Zhen did not stay for long, seeing that Su Mo was still calculating the formula, he left first.

After he left, Su Mo couldn’t wait to take the loader and scrutinize it, connecting the components reset on it to Lele’s System again.

Lele says, “Mr. Yu Zhen is such a nice guy.”

***

Unbeknownst to Yu Zhen, he had just left the lodger house before Su Mo had tricked the robot with his flowery words and gone online to try out the loader.

Having not been on the game for over a week, Su Mo was a bit unresponsive at first to the effects of the in-game physical changes, but after he got his feet on the ground for a few more rounds, that difference dissipated.

At the same time, he also saw the message ReturnToSimplicity had sent him before the hunting grounds. He wasn’t familiar with PvP, and after reading ReturnToSimplicity’s message, he realized that he had overlooked that possibility.

In fact, that day at the hunting ground, if he had made it clear earlier, he probably would have chosen to do the same thing.

Su Mo stared at the message for a while, just wanted to type but didn’t know what to say, and finally gave a like to the ReturnToSimplicity profile card.

Saying thank you seemed like a lot of times, so just give it a like.

After liking the card he suddenly remembered something, and sent another addendum—

[We’ll PK again when I get my equipment done.]

After closing the chat box, Su Mo thought of the spiritual pets being hungry for a week, he rushed to open the pet bar to feed the rabbit and Veil Wraith. When he opened the pet bar, the two hungry pets ran out, Soul Rabbit’s fur was dull, Veil Wraith’s green body was not crystal clear, one by one, rubbing Su Mo’s feet, they softly asked to be pampered.

“You guys wait ……” Su Mo was silent for a while, opened his backpack and started to look for food, only to find that there were only two rations left, feeding them one bite and it was gone.

Soul Rabbit and Veil Wraith looked at him pitifully.

Su Mo, “I’m going to go to the warehouse to get some money first, then I’ll go to the NPC to buy it.”

The two spirit pets didn’t know if they understood, and clung to Su Mo tightly, as if they were afraid that their master would blink and go offline again, and their food would be gone again.

The warehouse wasn’t far, an energetic five minutes walk.

While Su Mo was looking for the nearest ration NPC, ScarletFruit applied to join the team.

After not seeing him for a week, ScarletFruit finished the task before noticing Momo was online, hoofing it out of the group map. Just after joining the team, he couldn’t even express more than a week of lovesickness, but heard his own big brother cold and heartless words.

“Is it far from Sunset City? Come bring me 20 high-level rations.”

ScarletFruit was speechless. 

ScarletFruit, the top feeder of the Su family, brought rations to the side of his big brother, looking at the two obviously starving and thin pets, while condemning his big brother’s callousness, while calculating how many rations could be just enough to satiate the belly value, and cobbled together to hand over 20 high-level rations, 3 intermediate rations, and 7 low-level rations before the two big appetite kings of the big brother’s family were fed to the fullest.

While the Spirit Pets were eating, Su Mo was looking at the contents of his parcel, the rewards from the last Valor Peak Hunting Ground hadn’t been organized yet, and it looked very cluttered. Because he was taking the top of both lists, the rewards that came to hand could be said to be very rich, the regular rewards were massive amounts of experience pills, followed by demonic points, and even the permanent attribute points in the amount of 250 points.

Once these experience pills were consumed, it directly elevated his level from 78 to 79, instantly filling the gap of him not being online for a week, and successfully reaching the first echelon of the rankings.

In addition to the regular rewards, all that was left were the two leaderboard chests.

According to the rumors he had heard from ScarletFruit and the others, the probability of the top chests opening out items was on the low side, favoring gold equipment and weapons. Su Mo already had a level 70 [Celestial Spirit Lamp], and the gold weapons weren’t that important to him, so if he could open out level 80 equipment, it would be much more meaningful to him.

“Brother, I don’t think you can upgrade them.” ScarletFruit watched the two spirit pets wolf down their food and gave a very serious explanation, “I haven’t seen three in one punch in this fight, and their appetites have risen quite quickly.”

Soul Rabbit flicked its ears.

Veil Wraith turned his ass toward ScarletFruit.

“……” ScarletFruit’s eyebrows jumped slightly, “Don’t their intelligence understand that I give them food? I kind of provide half of their food and clothing.”

Su Mo swept his eyes over the two pets who were enjoying their meal and responded absently, “Is that so?”

ScarletFruit scooted over and couldn’t help but say, “Look at how much they can swallow in one bite now, when they used to be full from one? No wonder some people in the forums were saying that they couldn’t afford to keep a high-level pet, at this rate, poor players would have to be bankrupted by them ……”

He hadn’t finished ranting when he suddenly saw a flash of alert in his team.

[Player Momo opened [Valor Peak’s Gift] and obtained [Mysterious Spirit Pet Egg]!

The announcement of the opening instantly appeared in the System announcement as well, and the online players suddenly noticed a familiar ID – Valor Peak leader Momo. As last week’s hotly debated character, quite a few players were filled with curiosity about him, wondering about his relationship with ReturnToSimplicity, some wondered if he would go online and hit the top of the overall leaderboard. ……

However, he was so mysterious and disappeared after winning that the forum players who followed him were scratching their heads, and the discussion was getting more and more heated due to his mysteriousness instead of decreasing.

[Global]DazzlingLily: Crap, Momo is online.

[Global]SweetMeowMeow: Has he finally gotten around to opening the quest chest?

[Global]Head A Little Crooked: Where’s the big guy? I want to take a picture together!

……

And the mysterious player Momo fell into a short silence with ScarletFruit, the current Fortune List Big Trader in the party, after opening the pet egg.

ScarletFruit was speechless. 

Su Mo was surprised, “This chest can still open pet eggs?”

ScarletFruit, “This …… brother don’t you think this is outrageous?”

Su Mo held the Spirit Pet Egg in his hand and observed it, “It’s alright, the egg looks good.”

ScarletFruit was speechless. 

He suddenly felt that those star coins he had earned in the forums before were completely insufficient for this group of big appetite waves, and the dividend was simply a lavish act.

Su Mo handed the Spirit Pet Egg to Soul Rabbit, who had finished drying out, who skillfully tucked the Spirit Pet Egg away and began warming it with his fur. He once again set his eyes on another chest, and instead of opening the equipment he wanted, the chest opened another summoner’s quest weapon.

The quest weapon that Su Mo obtained in the beginning was the [Floating Cloud Lamp], he thought that all quest weapons of the Summoner lineage were called this, but he didn’t expect that the one that was opened once again was a weapon with attributes that differed from the [Floating Cloud Lamp], it was called the [Ling Luo Lamp].

“Crap, brother, you opened another weapon?” ScarletFruit hurriedly walked over to look at it and found that the color tone of this weapon was on the darker side, with the staff overhanging the lamp dispersing a deep blue light.

The attributes of the [Floating Cloud Lamp] at the very beginning were balanced between the two systems, the initial value of the physical attack and the spell attack could be said to be exactly the same, but the [Ling Luo Lamp] was different, this weapon’s physical attack was twice that of the spells, and it could be said to be a material attack weapon.

Although quest weapons were rare, he couldn’t use two of them alone.

Su Mo, “The weapon doesn’t seem to be useful.”

“What useless! Brother it’s a quest weapon, do you know the concept of a quest weapon?” ScarletFruit immediately said, “quest weapons are upgradable and can also be quenched with other materials, a few weeks ago there was a blacksmith who had risen to the highest level and then triggered a quest and learned that quest weapons at the highest level, level 80, need to be forged.”

Su Mo didn’t notice that and looked at ScarletFruit suspiciously.

ScarletFruit, “It’s a bit complicated to say, to put it simply, the highest level gold weapon in Celestial Horizon System at the moment is the quest weapon, and according to the quest clues revealed by that Blacksmith Master, it says that quest weapons can trigger a weapon skill when they are leveled up to level 80, and that it is possible to do a multi-weapon fusion ……”

“So a lot of big brothers who know the potential news were going to fight Valor Peak ah, weapons are too rare, weapons that can trigger hidden skill is even more rare, and besides this weapon can be fused ……” ScarletFruit, “If you have two weapons, level up to 80 and merge them together, it’s very possible to create a double skill artifact!”

Su Mo listens, “Is that so?”

He didn’t know how dual-skill artifacts work, but it sounds like it’s costly.

ScarletFruit, “Why aren’t you excited at all, you’re the only one I know, who has dual weapons besides ReturnToSimplicity!!!”

Su Mo pauses slightly when he heard ReturnToSimplicity.

ScarletFruit suddenly responded, “Oh yeah, there’s something I’m curious about, brother, do you know ReturnToSimplicity?”

Just at this time, Su Mo suddenly saw your friend [ UnchainedWanderer ] has gone online popping up in the game list, and at the same time, there was a golden announcement appearing on top of the online notification.

[Service Announcement] player CloudTraveller has discovered the traces of the secret realm of the departed souls after a thousand years of hard work, triggering the Heavenly Seal, and now opens the [Secret Realm of the Departed Souls] limited-timefaction dungeon challenge, with the action player as the unit, the single opening is limited to 10 people/group, and a special limitation mechanism is activated. The first to succeed in the challenge will receive the blessing of full action! The difficulty of this challenge ★★★★★★★.

“7 stars, 10 people!” ScarletFruit’s eyes immediately lit up, “Brother, this is a good opportunity for us to get rich and walk up the peak of life.”

This was the first 7-star quest challenge since Celestial Horizon opened.

“How to earn ……”

Su Mo had just opened his mouth when a person appeared in front of him.

 UnchainedWanderer appeared in front of him, and the words he reached his mouth immediately braked.

ScarletFruit began to think about the future, “Last time we sold tickets very well, I also developed potential customers, plus this Valor Peak you has a big reputation ……”
