Hidden Mission

"49999?"

Lin Xiao was stunned the moment he saw the number.

Although for him who is already terminally ill, there is no point in keeping the money now.

However, he was asked to pay 50,000 yuan upfront in exchange for some inexplicable Marrow Cleansing Pill.

He still had many concerns.

After all, 50,000 was more than half of his family fortune.

He still felt very reluctant to let him immerse himself in such a small game all at once.

Moreover, although this little game seemed somewhat peculiar, Lin Xiao wasn't sure.

Who knows, everything before was just some special scheme arranged by those people to gain my trust and then swindle my money.

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xiao finally decided to temporarily close the recharge page.

Anyway, this feature doesn't seem to have a time limit, so I'll play around with it some more.

At the very least, even if you're going to top up your account, you should verify its authenticity again.

Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao refocused his attention on Lin Qishuang.

At this time, after being attacked by the masked man, Lin Qishuang's body had returned to normal, but her will had become depressed.

After all, in the past, even someone of the level of the masked man was no match for her.

However, now, after that incident, he has become a tiger fallen into the plains.

He recalled the day he was defiled by his junior sister and then seriously injured by his master's sneak attack.

Even her fellow disciples, in an attempt to please her, took turns attacking her.

Now, he has barely managed to embark on the path of cultivation again, relying on his seniors.

But who knows when or how long it will be before he can get revenge?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Unconsciously, a multitude of thoughts arose in Lin Qishuang's mind.

The next moment, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted again!

When Lin Xiao's gaze returned to Lin Qishuang, he saw that Lin Qishuang, who had almost recovered, had suddenly and inexplicably fallen seriously injured and unconscious again.

[Ding: Your swordswoman wife has fallen into a coma due to the aggravation of her inner demons caused by your mention of the masked man incident!]

Looking at the prompt that appeared on the screen, Lin Xiao was speechless.

How could a dignified sword immortal be so fragile?

Despite his complaints, he was still deeply distressed.

In particular, seeing those delicate eyebrows that remained tightly furrowed even in a coma.

Lin Xiao felt even more pity for him.

There's no way around it, looks are everything.

Faced with such stunning good looks, it would be impossible for him not to be tempted.

That damn production team, I don't know where they found such a captivating actress.

While cursing, Lin Xiao's men didn't stop.

He kept tapping the screen, searching for the next solution.

It's nothing more than pushing the plot forward and then finding all sorts of ways to get players to spend money.

However, the solution proposed by the system this time surprised Lin Xiao.

[Ding: Congratulations, host, you have triggered a hidden quest. A heart ailment requires a heart remedy! Please assist Lin Qishuang in completing her revenge mission. Completing the mission will increase your favorability rating by 10 points.]

"Hmm? A hidden quest?"

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised when he saw the task dialog box that popped up on the task interface.

To be honest, he had initially gained a general understanding of why Lin Qishuang was seriously injured.

But that's just a few words, and it doesn't allow you to truly empathize.

Unexpectedly, this led to Lin Qishuang being invaded by inner demons.

"It seems that I was indeed negligent."

Lin Xiao sighed softly, then clicked to accept the task.

The next moment, Lin Qishuang's character interface icon turned completely dark red.

This made Lin Xiao feel somewhat awkward.

However, he also knew that this method was intended to urge him to complete the task as soon as possible.

However, looking at Lin Qishuang who was still unconscious, Lin Xiao felt somewhat helpless.

Even if we want to complete the mission, we have to wait for Lin Qishuang to wake up, right?

The moment this thought crossed his mind, another dialog box appeared on his phone screen.

[Lin Qishuang has fallen into a coma. The host can spend 98 yuan to unlock the Huayang Acupuncture Technique, which will unblock her acupoints and temporarily slow down the invasion of her inner demons!]

"Hmm, this time they're being so conscientious?"

Looking at the conditions on the screen, Lin Xiao felt a little strange.

Compared to the recent recharge amounts that often reach thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan, this time the price of 98 yuan is quite reasonable.

Lin Xiao naturally did not hesitate at all.

Click to recharge directly, and then unlock Huayang Acupuncture Technique.

The payment success notification had barely popped up when Lin Xiao had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when a new recharge window appeared on the screen.

In an instant, Lin Xiao retracted the little bit of "conscience" he had just developed.

[Ding: Huayang Acupuncture Technique requires the use of spiritual needles. Would you like to spend 399 yuan to purchase 12 high-quality spiritual needles?]

The needles are of extremely pure quality, maximizing the effectiveness of the needling technique while avoiding damage to the sword immortal's soul!

"I knew it!" Lin Xiao slapped his thigh, his tone full of helpless complaint.

"So you only got a 'manual' for 98 yuan, and even the accompanying tools cost extra? That's a really clever trick!"

He stared at the words "Avoid harming the soul" on the screen, and swallowed back the words of complaint he was about to say.

Lin Qishuang is currently suffering from inner demons and is unconscious. If something goes wrong because of the use of inferior spiritual needles, wouldn't all the money he spent be wasted?

More importantly, looking at that little face with its furrowed brows and pale complexion, he really couldn't bring himself to take the risk.

"399 it is, you win!" Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and tapped the payment button again.

This time, he was almost numb to even feel heartache. He felt like a leek being pressed onto a chopping board, helplessly being harvested by this damn game.

The moment the payment was completed, the phone screen lit up with a white light.

Lin Xiao was so startled by the white light that he had to close his eyes temporarily.

When he opened his eyes again, twelve pure white, hair-thin spiritual needles had appeared out of thin air on the table.

Lin Xiao was startled. He hadn't expected that the spirit needle would appear directly in the real world, just like the tiger skin.

After staring at it for a while, I confirmed that there was no danger.

Lin Xiao then carefully reached out and picked up one of the so-called spirit needles.

The needle felt cool and smooth to the touch, its texture far surpassing any metal he had ever seen.

This discovery reassured Lin Xiao slightly, making her feel that the 399 she spent this time wasn't too bad.

Before he could examine the spirit needles closely, a system notification popped up, giving him a rude awakening.

[Ding: The Huayang Acupuncture Technique requires the host to personally master and apply the acupuncture. The system will send you the acupuncture technique manual. Please check it!]

Friendly reminder: Acupuncture requires precise control of acupoints and pressure. Incorrect application may damage Lin Qishuang's soul and even cause a regression in her cultivation!
