Chapter 36

Recently, a lot has been happening, and Qifeng feels like he's about to lose his mind. He thinks he should sort things out properly.

The Wulin Heroes dimension is relatively stable, and there are no urgent resources to develop. Moreover, there's only the Yuelai Inn over there, where Wei Xiaobao is often present, while Xu Xiaoxia hasn't shown up in a long time (Qifeng calculates that a round trip to Icefire Island would take at least a few months). The safety level is quite high, making it a good logistics base. There's tea when you're thirsty, food when you're hungry, medicine when you're injured, and a bed when you're tired. With attentive service, caring attention, fresh air, and a beautiful environment, there's no better choice.

The Immortal Sword dimension is more complicated. Qifeng still has over a million copper coins in the Immortal Sword dimension, and he hasn't thoroughly looted the shops there yet. This should be his top priority. However, Qifeng had a fight there last time, and the events in Baihe Town made him realize that the Immortal Sword dimension has a high degree of freedom.

Everything has two sides. Greater freedom means more opportunities, but it also means higher risks. Although Qifeng can't pinpoint where the risks lie, he mentally downgraded the safety level of the Immortal Sword dimension compared to the Wulin Heroes dimension.

The newly opened map is even more extreme. It's a highly modernized interstellar era. According to Shepard, without some preparation, one could easily be killed by a surprise attack. Although Qifeng is very tempted by the equipment and technology there, he doesn't plan to enter that dimension lightly. (Missing out on the gear from Sister Xue was a huge loss!) This is why Qifeng didn't immediately activate his abilities to return after being forcibly teleported back. He remembers that the three Volcans called for reinforcements from the Blood Sack Mercenary Group before they died. If he really wants to go back, he should wait until the situation calms down. The teleportation point to that dimension is near the incident site!

Another thing that caught Qifeng's attention is that his activity range in Omega is much larger than he imagined. He and the black guy named Jacob traveled at least ten kilometers by unmanned public spacecraft before being forcibly teleported back. If the teleportation point is the center, and this range is the radius, his activity area in Omega can rival a medium-sized city. Having such a large free activity area in a high-tech dimension means a lot. Qifeng gets excited just thinking about it.

Although Qifeng marked Omega as a red high-risk area in terms of safety, its appeal is undeniable. Qifeng is determined to return. Of course, he needs to accumulate enough strength first. His current level of Dragon Elephant Prajna is already quite good, but the weapons in that dimension are extremely powerful. The armor from Xiao Bao might not be reliable, but the semi-immortal-level armor from the Immortal Sword dimension might be useful. In Qifeng's view, so-called kinetic weapons might not be more destructive than the Seven Sword Qi or the Ten Thousand Sword Technique. Of course, this is just a guess, and he doesn't want to risk his life to test it.

Qifeng's mind was filled with all sorts of strange ideas (which would definitely make others think he's crazy), and before he knew it, he had walked to the East District Sports Center.

Sumei wasn't in room 221B on the second floor but was waiting for Qifeng outside the main gate.

Qifeng hurried over, intending to greet her with a smile and try to get closer, but he noticed that Sumei's face didn't look good. She wasn't angry, but rather worried and dejected.

"Uh? What's wrong?" Qifeng asked, as he had never seen her like this before.

Sumei only noticed Qifeng's arrival then, looked up, and asked, "You didn't answer my calls with Ah Yan yesterday, and when we called your dorm, they said no one was there. Now you finally show up?" Qifeng noticed that she looked like she had been crying.

"Hey, I was out last night, and that place had no signal. As soon as I got back, I answered the call, didn't I?" Qifeng was telling the truth, from the bottom of his heart.

Sumei's face finally showed some expression, "Hmph~. Don't think I don't know. You never answer Ah Yan's calls and always avoid him."

"Come on? I'm not avoiding him. It's just that he always drags me into one-on-one training. You know, I've now opened all seven chakras and three meridians. In layman's terms, I'm a martial arts expert, and my skills are fully developed. If I fight him again, it would be pure bullying."

Usually, when Qifeng said this, Sumei would mock him for being shameless, but today she clearly wasn't in the mood. She sighed deeply and said, "If that's the case, follow me." She then turned and walked toward the school gate.

Hmm? Why is the atmosphere so heavy? Something must have happened. It looks like there's some trouble with Yan Yufeng. Qifeng tried to lighten the mood, "Don't make it so scary. It's not like he's dead and you want me to pay my respects to his remains, right?"

To his surprise, Sumei's shoulders trembled, and she covered her mouth and nose with her right hand, crying and running away.

What's going on? Qifeng was shocked. Could he really be dead? Sudden illness? Car accident? Oh no! Well, if he really is dead, I might still have some options, but the consequences could be very troublesome. Well, very troublesome! But I should still go and see what's happening.

Qifeng quickly chased after her.

Outside the school gate, a black car was parked, and someone opened the door for Sumei, who got in.

What's this? A private car? But Qifeng didn't have time to think about it and followed her into the car.

Once inside, Qifeng noticed that the rear and front seats were completely separated, probably with soundproofing. He hadn't noticed the license plate or the model when he got in, but the interior, though not luxurious, was of very high quality. It must be a specially arranged private car.

Turning to look at Sumei, Qifeng wondered if she was from a wealthy family. He remembered that she and Yan Yufeng both grew up in a large institute, but he hadn't thought much about it at the time. Now it seemed that both of their families were not simple. But why would they come to him if something really happened to Yan Yufeng? It's impossible that they couldn't handle it within their own family. No one knows about the life-saving medicine I have!

Seeing Sumei's sad and worried face, Qifeng didn't know how to start. He decided to stay silent. The atmosphere was not suitable for any conversation.

Qifeng looked out the window. The buildings were passing by quickly, indicating that the car was moving fast, but it was very stable. Whether it was the car or the driver's skill, the ride was as smooth as the spacecraft he had taken the night before.

After a short while, the car arrived at a top-tier military hospital in the capital. Sumei got out, walked into the hall, and went straight to the elevator, pressing a floor button and entering without a word. Qifeng followed quietly.

They arrived at a high floor with single rooms. Sumei led Qifeng into one of the rooms. Qifeng was surprised; the room was like a suite, probably more expensive than a five-star hotel. Inside, he saw Yan Yufeng in a hospital gown, sitting on the bed and drinking porridge from a thermos. When he saw Sumei and Qifeng, he looked up and said, "You're here? Have you had breakfast?"

Qifeng felt an urge to kick him. I was worried sick about you based on Sumei's expression, and here you are, comfortably eating breakfast in this fancy suite! Damn, you even have cornmeal on your lips!

Qifeng examined him a few times. With his current level of Dragon Elephant Prajna, he could see that Yan Yufeng's qi and blood were normal, just like a regular person. He couldn't help but ask, "You don't look like you have a fever or anything. What's wrong with you? Why are you here, making Sumei so upset? Scaring people for fun?"

Yan Yufeng didn't seem to mind Qifeng's unfriendly tone and was actually more gentle than usual. He smiled and said, "I got injured in a game and need to rest."

Injuries from playing sports are common, but from Sumei's expression, Qifeng knew it must be serious. "Your leg?"

Yan Yufeng nodded, "Yeah."

Qifeng lifted the blanket covering Yan Yufeng's leg and saw a cast around his knee. Qifeng's heart sank. He knew that a cast on the knee meant a serious injury. But for someone with access to the Black Jade Continuity Ointment from Xiao Bao, this injury was easy to handle.

Qifeng quickly comforted Sumei, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Don't worry so much!"

Sumei looked up with tearful eyes and said in a choked voice, "...The doctor said the injury can't be completely cured, only to ensure that he can walk in the future..."

Qifeng waved his hand dismissively, "Hey, why listen to those quacks? I'll take care of it. I guarantee a quick recovery, and in no time, I'll give you a lively 'Qingmei Xiaozhuma' (childhood friend)!"

Qifeng's confident demeanor made Sumei and Yan Yufeng widen their eyes in surprise, "You? ... You can cure it?!"

Qifeng felt a bit offended, "I... I'm not from a traditional Chinese medicine family or anything..."

Seeing their disbelieving faces, Qifeng asked, "Then why did you call me here? Not to treat the injury?"

Yan Yufeng seemed a bit confused, "I called you to discuss and ask you to replace me in the game..."

What? A misunderstanding!
