Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

Chapter 39

When the ambulance arrived at the scene, Su Meng cooperated with the doctors and nurses to carry Xu Bai into the ambulance. Then, they got in the car and rushed to Feng City Hospital.

Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu also got into their own car and followed the ambulance towards the hospital. The two people in the car had solemn expressions.

Xu Bai’s vitality was indeed depleted.

But, the reality was the exact opposite of what they had just told Su Meng. Xu Bai’s Qi and vitality depletion was beyond the extent that he could recover after a night’s sleep. It was a very serious condition.

Gu Hongyu glanced at Zheng Sen, who was driving, and said in a deep voice, “Can he still join us?”

Zheng Sen was silent for a while before shaking his head.

The Special Disaster Operations Team faced extraordinary cases and enemies. You could join as an ordinary person, but you couldn’t last as an ordinary person.

Simply put, after ordinary people joined their group, they would have a chance to become superhumans like them.

After all, this was not a cultivation world that focused on spiritual roots. As long as there were suitable cultivation techniques and guides, anyone could become a superhuman.

The difference between superhumans and ordinary people was the difference in their cultivation talent. It did not exist in ordinary people. They still needed to see if they could cultivate.

That was Xu Bai’s current state of depletion of his Qi and blood. In layman’s terms, his potential had been completely exhausted.

At first, Zheng Sen was surprised. Although the four brothers were not really superhumans, it could be said that they were only a few steps away from becoming superhumans. How could they die at the hands of a local agent who had great potential but was also an ordinary person?

However, after Zheng Sen checked Xu Bai’s injuries, his confusion was gone. How Xu Bai killed the four brothers was because he had used the so-called ‘life as long as heaven and earth’.

He used his future potential as a price to exchange for the strength to take down the four brothers.

Zheng Sen suddenly felt speechless. This feeling was as if Xu Bai, whom they had seen an hour ago, was an extraordinary genius who could surpass everyone else. However, when they saw him just now, they realized that this genius had given up on his talent and had become the most ordinary member among all living beings.

Zheng Sen felt a little regret.

“No way!”

“What?”

Zheng Sen came back to his senses and looked at Gu Hongyu. Then, he saw that Gu Hongyu had already taken out her phone and started to make a call.

Gu Hongyu frowned and said, “I’m still waiting to see this arrogant fellow join us and know what our world looks like.”

Zheng Sen was confused.

“Who did you call?”

“Su Bancheng!”

This time, Gu Hongyu did not address Su Bancheng as Deputy Supervisor Su. Instead, she called him by his name. While waiting for Su Bancheng to pick up the call, she said to Zheng Sen, “Xu Bai lost his blood essence to save his niece. Now that something like this has happened, he has to think of a way to fix it.”

Zheng Sen opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he saw Gu Hongyu talking to Su Bancheng, he stopped and shook his head.

He was not as optimistic as Gu Hongyu.

After all…Xu Bai’s Qi and blood were depleted. This was almost irreversible.

If anything had happened to Xu Bai because of Su Meng, the Su family might have tried to find a way to remedy it. After all, Xu Bai’s physical fitness and Qi and blood were almost overflowing even before cultivating it. This person was extremely talented. Once he stepped onto the path of transcendence, he would definitely surpass everyone else.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the Su family, an aristocratic family, would definitely do something.

But now? Xu Bai, who had turned from a genius into a commoner?

Sometimes, talent mattered a lot, but at the same time, geniuses who had talent but had not lived up to their potential were not considered geniuses. Xu Bai was one such person, and now he did not even have talent now.

Zheng Sen was not optimistic about this.

“Hey, hey, hey… F*ck!”

“…”

Zheng Sen looked at Gu Hongyu sitting in the front passenger seat, holding the phone and cursing, “How was it?”

Gu Hongyu’s expression was a little ugly. “Damn it, I said so much, but he only said one sentence.”

“What did he say?”

“I got it.”

“…”

Indeed, Zheng Sen thought to himself. He was not surprised by this result. After all, in the eyes of him and Gu Hongyu, Xu Bai’s talent and potential could be said to be top-notch. However, in the eyes of some people, talent and potential were just stepping stones.

In the Su family’s manor, after Su Bancheng hung up on Gu Hongyu, he placed his phone on the table with a strange expression.

Chen Jin, who was still in the study, was sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed, flipping through a magazine in her hand. She looked up at Su Bancheng and said, “How was it? Did you catch the four brothers?”

Su Bancheng nodded.

“The four brothers are dead.”

“… Are you serious?”

Chen Jin was slightly stunned. Then, he smiled and said, “It seems that our Feng City’s Special Disaster Operations Team still has some strength.”

Su Bancheng interrupted him and looked up at the smiling Chen Jin. “Xu Bai killed him.”

Chen Jin kept quiet and listened to the name. “Who is it? That Agent Xu from the Feng City Police Station? Your niece’s master?”

Su Bancheng nodded again. “Yes, it’s him. When the Special Disaster Operations Team went over, the four brothers were already dead.”

Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, put down the magazine in her hand, and stood up from the sofa. “Are you kidding me? I remember now. You said that this guy’s talent and potential weren’t bad, but he’s not a member of our world.”

Su Bancheng looked at Chen Jin expressionlessly. “His vitality is depleted and his potential is exhausted.”

Chen Jin opened her mouth. When she heard this answer, she sat back on the sofa behind him.

“I see.”

After all, a normal person with potential and talent might be able to kill a superhuman who had just been possessed, but that was the extent of it.

However, if the price was a depletion of vitality, then it was easy to explain.

It was just like how sometimes weak women could lift a car when their children are in danger.

But just then, Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu did not dare to tell Su Meng what the true consequences would be after a person’s vitality was depleted.

Su Bancheng sat in his seat and looked at the six copper coins he had thrown on the table. His eyes flickered slightly.
