Chapter 124.1: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

On the other side of the phone, Liu Huai’s voice was heard as he tried to suppress some emotion. “Jiayi, can I pick you up now? I want to see you.”

Liu Jiayi’s originally indifferent expression visibly softened and her soft voice filled with joy. “However, the welfare home will organize the matching and open the doors tomorrow. Brother, can you wait for me until tomorrow? We will meet tomorrow!”

“…Someone told me about a tunnel leading to the welfare home and I came here through that tunnel.” Liu Huai closed his eyes, his throat moved and he couldn’t help choking up. “I only have 1 health left. I might not be able to wait until tomorrow. Jiayi, I want to see you before I die.”

Liu Jiayi’s breathing paused and she instantly looked like she had frozen into a block of ice.

She gripped the phone hard and didn’t even notice that Liu Huai had used exploratory words and lied about his health when speaking to her. She directly and quickly asked, “How did it fall so low? Where are you now?”

Shouldn’t Liu Huai stay at the hospital? Even if Liu Huai had given up on hunting her blood and reached a cooperation with Bai Liu to protect the children, Liu Huai’s personal skill meant he shouldn’t fall to this level when facing monsters and Miao Feichi. His skills meant he could run and hide.

Based on Liu Huai’s personality, he hated being controlled by others. Due to her hints, Liu Huai understood that Bai Liu controlled people using goods and needed the consent of the other party. Liu Huai knew the multiple restrictions on Bai Liu’s skill and shouldn’t be easily controlled by Bai Liu.

What the hell happened last night? Why did Liu Huai’s health fall to only 1?

Liu Huai, who had only 1 health left, was like bait deliberately made by an opponent who knew her well to catch her.

This idea flashed through Liu Jiayi’s mind but it was soon interrupted by Liu Huai’s weak voice.

“I’m in the church.”

If she didn’t go and heal Liu Huai tonight, Liu Huai would undoubtedly die. Liu Jiayi quickly realized this.

“Okay, Brother. You stay in the church and don’t move.” Liu Jiayi took a deep breath. She walked around anxiously, forcing herself to calm down. Even so, her hand holding the phone shook badly. “You wait for Jiayi to come over, okay? Jiayi will be there soon!”

Liu Huai’s voice became softer. “Can I really wait for you, Jiayi?”

Liu Jiayi’s eyes were red and she gritted her teeth. “Wait there. Brother, believe in me. I definitely won’t let you have an accident. I will come straight away.”

Liu Huai was quiet for a long time before replying in a soft voice, so soft it was almost inaudible.

“I believe you, Jiayi.”

“The panic shows that she cares about you. She should come but she won’t be completely unprepared. The church is a safe place for her and she might be less vigilant here.” Bai Liu touched his chin thoughtfully. “I think that based on Liu Jiayi’s vigilance, there might be variables when she arrives at the location, even if she is panicked.”

Liu Jiayi hurriedly walked through the dark welfare home.

The black witch’s robe that symbolized her identity was gone. It was replaced with the very ordinary clothes of the children in the welfare home.

Liu Jiayi opened her system panel and warehouse. The system screen was projected directly to her brain so it could be ‘seen’ by her. After cleaning up her system warehouse and personal panel, her brow furrowed even more.

[System warehouse: Player Liu Jiayi, your visualization function item will soon be emptied. Your demand for this tool is relatively large. It belongs to the daily necessities category. Please replenish it in a timely manner.]

[System notification: Player Liu Jiayi, your personal skill is special within Love Welfare Institute. After entering the game, the following restrictions have been placed on you to balance the game—]

[…The cooldown time of your personal skill ‘Antidote’ has been extended from one hour to six hours…]

[…You have universal blood…]

Liu Jiayi had often encountered this long list of restrictions when playing games because her personal skill was special. She would always be restricted by the dog system using various ways.

This dog system needed the death rate to distinguish the difficulty. If the game had her healing skill then the death rate was very bad. Therefore, the system tried every means to kill the witch.

In order to give full play to Liu Jiayi’s skills, the King’s Guild racked their brains to think of many methods, including assigning various control players to Liu Jiayi. They hoped that controlling multiple players to share the death rate would reduce the limitations of Liu Jiayi’s skill.

It was just hard to say how effective it was. They had barely practiced it before Puppet Zhang died.

Generally speaking, Liu Jiayi would skim past these restrictions without changing her expression because she was used to being blocked in the game.

However, this time Liu Jiayi wasn’t so calm looking at these restrictions. Her ‘eyes’ stopped on the first and third one for a few seconds and she couldn’t help cursing. “Fuck the system!”
