Chapter 99: Love’s Reward.

Hearing Xiao Fen’s words, Sabova suddenly walked up and forcefully hugged Xiao Fen in her arms. This process lasted for a full ten seconds. Xiao Fen could faintly hear slight sobbing sounds, and the back of his neck also felt a bit cold.

Afterward, Sabova forcefully pushed Xiao Fen away. She looked at Xiao Fen confidently, as if she wanted to completely brand his appearance into her brain. Having done all this, she nodded, turned around, and ran with all her might toward the direction of the elevator.

The moment she entered the elevator shaft, Sabova suddenly turned her head to look at Xiao Fen and said, “Palin, you still owe me one, remember?”

Xiao Fen struggled to support his body and slowly moved toward that large door. Hearing Sabova’s words, Xiao Fen responded with a smile and answered, “Yes, I remember. I still owe you one. However, you don’t have much time left. A big fire will appear here very soon. Please believe my Prophecy.”

Sabova tried hard to smile and said, “Of course I believe you. So, I need to ask you even more, how do you plan to pay back what you owe me?”

Without waiting for Xiao Fen to answer, Sabova had already turned around and climbed up through the gap in the elevator, leaving Xiao Fen alone in the empty basement, standing there in a daze.

The 45 seconds were up. A sudden, violent fire abruptly appeared in various places in this building.

Xiao Fen barely managed to move himself behind the iron gate. The surrounding air was already scorching hot to the point where it was almost impossible to breathe. In front of him, the hollow passage looked incredibly gloomy.

Just at that moment, a Light Screen suddenly automatically floated before Xiao Fen’s eyes, and strings of text continuously appeared.

“Congratulations, the Mutated Mother Body mission is completed.”

“Surprise! You were actually able to complete the Mutated Mother Body alone. This makes Yggdrasil feel it is incredible!”

“Splendor! You stayed in this Trial World for more than 24 hours and completed more side quests, allowing the progress of this Trial World to move forward.”

“Spread! Your achievement will be spread among Trialists. You will become a well-known important figure.”

“Reward: 700 Gene Points.”

“Reward: 2 Skill Points.”

“Reward: Lover’s Light Kiss.”

“Lover’s Light Kiss: Left little finger ring, natural item, cannot be traded.”

“Quality: Excellent.”

“Durability: 33/33.”

“Special Effect: Provides different Attribute increases.”

“Words of Agility: With the Gem side of the ring facing up, it provides an additional +5 Agility to the carrier.”

“Spirit of Love: With the gold thread side of the ring facing up, it provides an additional +5 Spirit to the carrier.”

“Note: The two Attribute increases cannot coexist.”

“Note: The interval for switching Attributes must not be less than 1 hour.”

“Note: It can only be carried under the gaze of Yggdrasil, and can only be used in environments allowed by Yggdrasil.”

“Either love or not love, the result may be frustrating, but a choice must always be made.”

“The ring and the Poison Sac have been transferred to your Warehouse. Please check and receive them in time.”

“Yggdrasil thanks you for your promotion of this World. Please continue to work hard and become the best one.”

“Main Quest accomplished.”

“Main Quest completion rate: 105%.”

“Reward: 1000 Gene Points.”

“Reward: 1 Skill Point.”

These texts kept appearing before Xiao Fen’s eyes. Subsequently, a large number of light spots floated around him. Behind him, the raging fire behind that huge iron gate also became less scorching. A few seconds later, Xiao Fen, wearing a tattered military uniform, returned to the Real World.

He was still sitting in his seat, and in front of him, that laptop was still constantly flashing with the original charts and text.

Du Juan, who was reading a book over by the bookshelf, let out a “Huh?”, turned her head to look at Xiao Fen, and said, “I thought you couldn’t pass the test. Do you know how long you’ve been away from the Real World? 5 hours! You might be the last guy to leave the Trial World in this trial mission. How do you feel?”

“Feel? If I didn’t have a bottle of Healing Potion, I might not live for long.”

Xiao Fen answered feebly. Although he had returned to the Real World, his heavily injured state did not leave him but accompanied him to the Real World. Right now, he felt that even just sitting was a great pain. What he saw more in his eyes were countless stars. Every breath gave him a premonition that his life would end in the next second.

“Healing Potion? Oh, you actually came into contact with such an advanced thing. Items like these can only be obtained from missions with difficulty above A-rank, and not every A-rank mission will give them after completion. These things are more precious than you imagine.”

Du Juan put the book in her hand back on the bookshelf and answered nonchalantly. Regarding Xiao Fen’s miserable state, she gave a suggestion: “Try upgrading. Since you have completed at least one A-rank mission, your current Gene Points should be enough to get you an upgrade opportunity. Why not upgrade? Through upgrading, you can remove all bad statuses.”

Xiao Fen was just about to say that he couldn’t upgrade within 24 hours, but he suddenly realized that he had already stayed in the other Trial World for 24 hours. Although it wasn’t clear how the World Tree calculated time, he could try it now. Moreover, if he could access his Warehouse, he still had the Healing Potion rewarded to him by the World Tree inside.

“Call Yggdrasil and let him transfer you to your private Space. This is the last piece of advice. Don’t try to upgrade in a dangerous environment. The immense pain of upgrading will make you so weak that you might be taken out by a child.”

Regarding this, Xiao Fen could only respond with a smile, saying, “Thanks.”

The Light Screen quickly appeared in front of him. Before this, Xiao Fen had not never tried calling out the Light Screen in the Real World, but he was not successful. He estimated that the World Tree also had its own standards for the requirements of a Trialist. Even if one had become a Trialist, without having experienced the first Trial World, one would not be truly recognized by the World Tree.

“Don’t be puzzled. You can’t access Yggdrasil so easily in other places either. This basement is one of the interfaces between this city and Yggdrasil. If you want to connect with Yggdrasil in the Real World of this city, this is the only place.”

Xiao Fen nodded slightly. He didn’t carefully consider the meaning of Du Juan’s words and selected “Return to one’s own Space”.

After a familiar fluctuation in the environment, Xiao Fen found that he had arrived in an unfamiliar empty room. This room had no windows and no visible door, but it was filled with light. However, Xiao Fen simply couldn’t find the source of this light.

After walking around once, Xiao Fen gave up the plan to explore the room further. His body no longer allowed him to continue wasting energy like this. After confirming that it was safe in this sealed room, Xiao Fen once again called out the Light Screen and solemnly selected “Upgrade” among the options.

Although the Warehouse was right in front of him, and the Healing Potion inside could be used at any time, Xiao Fen maintained the greatest caution regarding this kind of potion that could save lives at critical moments. If it wasn’t necessary, he didn’t want to waste a bottle of Healing Potion.
