Chapter 919 - New World of Martial Arts (2/2)

The girls chatted with each other for a while before they were soon chased out of the room by the doctors. The female nurse who was the one in charge of taking care of Happy since the beginning was the only person left.

The nurse walked to Happy’s bed in slight embarrassment. “Apologies. They insisted on coming.”

The nurse apologized for bringing that group of nosy ladies.

Happy smiled slightly, even though it was difficult for him to do so. “It’s fine, at least you didn’t bother her. By the way, have you played World of Martial Arts before?”

The nurse’s eyes lit up. “Of course. My boyfriend dragged me into it. We’re known as Sun and Moon Divine Sword Wielding Couple in game. Well? Sounds awesome, right?’

“Hah. That’s great. Can you tell about what’s going on in the game right now, such as the strongest sect in the Chinese server right now, the strongest player, and other things that you might know.”

“Oh, by the way, let me give you this.” When the nurse saw that Happy wanted to talk about World of Martial Arts right when he woke up, she seemed to remember something, and she turned around to bring out a box from the cupboard beside him.

“What is it?”

“Your girlfriend brought this over. She said that if you woke up, she wanted to show you this, and you might not fall into a coma again.”

While the nurse spoke, she unwrapped the packaging inside, and in it was a VR Helmet that seemed to be quite old.

Happy’s eyes lit up.

This was the VR Helmet he had used for three years. He originally thought that Xu Yao already threw it away, and he did not expect that she actually kept it.

Xu Yao had even brought it to the hospital. She might be hoping that if he saw the helmet when he woke up, he might not faint again.

Naturally, she did not know that he had suddenly fainted because of the other Chen Kaixin.

“It’s so old… It’s a first gen helmet, huh?” The nurse held the helmet.

Happy was puzzled. “First get? What do you mean by that?”

“You wouldn’t know about it, huh? A year ago, World of Martial Arts updated some of their content, and they also changed these VR Helmets. They look much more exquisite and beautiful now, and they have a lot of functions. They’re much prettier than the old models.”

“What new functions do they have?” Happy asked.

“Hmm… A lot. Such as for those who return to the game after a long period of absence, events such as Legend of Emperors, Weapons of the Gods… and the emergence of even more powerful players.”

The nurse revealed a lot of information in one go like a machinegun. “The update for those who return to the game after a long period of absence is targeted for the players who suffered a death penalty that is too great and for those who deleted their account. For example, after a month, they can obtain their original stats when they return to the game, and those who suffered too great a penalty of death and were imprisoned can be released earlier, but they will appear in the land for exiles.

“Those who deleted their character can actually return to the game with their original character. The official developers have saved your data in the game, and everything is stored in their databank. When you return to the game, you’ll be like a hermit who has decided to live in seclusion in the world of martial artists.”

When he heard this, Happy’s eyes lit up.

Then, he looked at the nurse when he thought of something. “You know about me?”

The nurse nodded honestly. “Every time I come here, Xu Yao will always be alone. I’d talk to her a little, and then, she told me certain things about you. She doesn’t seem to want to talk about herself, but when she talked about you, she’ll seem so lively. She mentioned how strong you were in the game and said that you might have gotten into the top eight in the Sword Among Us Tournament at Mount Hua, but every time she finished speaking, she will cry silently.”

“Are you saying that she has always been here alone over the past months?”

“Yeah. Even though there are many doctors and patients’ families in the hospital who like her, since she’s with you, everyone respected her and took care of her. No one bothered her.”

The nurse seemed to be trying to explain things for Xu Yao.

But Happy sank into deep thought.

‘Blood Robes… That guy must have either left after he finished using Xu Yao, or their relationship completely soured because of what happened to me. Oh well, I’ll ignore this for the time being.’

“Tell me about World of Martial Arts.”

“What would you like to know?”

“The Sword Among Us Tournament at Mount Hua. What happened to the rankings in that fight.”

“It’s been so long since then. I can’t remember it. Wait, let me check.” The nurse ran out excitedly before she returned quickly. There was an exquisite tab in her hand.

Happy did not notice that when the nurse left and came back, Xu Yao had already woken up while she still kept her hand tightly wrapped around Happy’s arm. Her eyelashes fluttered, but she held back from opening her eyes. In an angle Happy could not notice, two drops of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she bit down her lip tightly.

The information on the official website was kept in perfect condition. Even though it had been more than one year and a half since the event and other events had been held in the game after it, the grand gathering during the Sword Among Us Tournament at Mount Hua was soon brought up by the nurse.

“The champion is Wind Assault Tower’s Phantasmal Shadow. The second to seventh are all foreigners… Ah… their names are so long…” The nurse stopped talking for a while. Then, she silently cast a sidelong glance at Happy and Xu Yao with sparkling gazes.

Happy smiled, as if he already noticed something. “Let’s forget about the foreigners. Is the person ranked at the eighth place Blood Robes?”

“Yeah.” The nurse looked like a little girl who did something wrong. She nodded.

It was difficult to imagine how a girl who already had a boyfriend will still be as cute as a child.

“Before I fell into a coma, I already knew this. Don’t worry about me. I’m fine.” Happy understood that the nurse was worried that Blood Robes’ name will deliver a shock to him, and he will show negative reactions again. He immediately changed the topic of conversation. “You must know the current power structure in the Chinese server, right? Is Class One Hall still the ones who hold power, or is it Wind Assault Tower?”

“I don’t think it’s either of them. After that tournament, a few major events appeared in succession in World of Martial Arts. Class One Hall was attacked by a lot of people, and they were even criticized publicly. I think it’s about what happened to you. Later on, Blood Robes left Class One Hall for his own development. Class One Hall was attacked repeatedly, and they were surpassed by Wind Assault Tower. Right now, the strongest player in the Chinese server is Phantasmal Shadow, but the ones who control the power structure are a group of people who call themselves Wild Wolves?”

“Hmm?” Happy’s heart trembled.
