Chapter 24 Wizard Thomas, Eye of Purity
Alan was emotionally agitated.
Reborn, he dreamed of changing everything.
But now, he couldn't even save his own sister.
The doctor shook his head. "We've done our best. Although we removed a lot of blood clots, the ones that entered the cerebellum have already eroded it. The best outcome is a vegetative state, and she could die at any moment."
Alan was deeply saddened. "Can I see my sister?"
"Go ahead, but remember to control your emotions," the doctor sighed.
Alan entered the operating room.
There were still a few medical staff doing post-operative work.
Looking at his sister on the hospital bed, Alan couldn't control his fingers' trembling.
"Am I ultimately unable to change anything?"
Alan gritted his teeth.
He was unwilling to accept this outcome.
"My condolences," A medical staff member said and shook his head at Alan.
Alan forced himself to hold back his grievances and walked to the bedside. He had experienced countless life-threatening situations in his previous life.
His heart had long been resilient.
But today, as his sister was about to leave him again, the despair and helplessness made him unable to suppress the grief in his heart, and tears streamed down his face.
"Why!?
"Why exactly!?
"God, why are you doing this to me!?"
Alan clenched his fists, hating his own powerlessness.
"She might still be saved."
At this moment, a young voice sounded.
Then, a wizard dressed in peculiar clothes, looking only seventeen or eighteen, appeared at the door of the operating room.
Alan was somewhat excited and turned to look.
"Save her! Please save my sister!" Alan pleaded, spinning around in a frenzy, clutching onto hope like a man grasping at the last straw."
"I'm not entirely sure," the wizard said.
"Then what about your master? Is he sure?"
Alan was emotionally agitated. Seeing the wizard so young, he guessed there must be a master behind him.
"My master is dead." The wizard shook his head.
Alan gritted his teeth. "Alright, please save my sister. If you can save her, I will definitely repay your kindness."
The wizard smiled. "Our meeting is fate; I'll give it a try."
The wizard walked to the bedside.
He looked at Mary on the bed, and a silver-white glow appeared on his palm.
Alan was shocked—a magic expert?
The Jinse Empire had the Mighty Ancients.
Alan knew this in his previous life.
What the wizard was showing now was very similar to the legendary magic experts.
The wizard raised his hand, and the silver-white glowing palm gently stroked Mary's forehead.
The glow gradually penetrated into Mary's head, and her complexion began to improve.
Alan was overjoyed. After a while, the wizard withdrew his hand.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, saying, "Your sister is no longer in life-threatening danger, but she will still be in a vegetative state."
At this point, the wizard sighed, "Ultimately, my ability is not enough."
"What's your name?" Alan was very grateful.
Even if she was in a vegetative state, it was much better than before.
"My name is Thomas Rodriguez; you can call me Thomas."
Alan forced a smile. "Thomas, thank you for saving my sister. I have $100,000 in this card; it's all yours."
Thomas shook his head. "That's too much. Just give me $10,000; I want to buy a gaming pod."
"A gaming pod? Thomas, you want to play Ragnarok too?" Alan asked.
Thomas nodded. "Yes, I calculated that there are hidden opportunities in Ragnarok that might help me break through my limits and reach that legendary realm."
Alan was astonished. If Thomas could calculate that, he might be worth befriending.
However, he couldn't let too many people in the real world know about his situation in the game, as it could easily lead to trouble.
In his previous life, there were cases of high-level players being kidnapped or even killed offline.
Since the game's attributes hadn't materialized yet, he needed to be cautious.
"Your great kindness in saving my sister, even $100,000 is too little. Thomas, keep some more money on you; it will be more convenient for you in the future."
Alan placed the bank card in Thomas' hand and said, "The password is 157988."
Thomas smiled. "Alright, thank you very much."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Thomas, he left.
Although his sister was no longer in danger, she still needed a few days in the hospital to recuperate and recover as quickly as possible.
After making sure his sister's situation was settled, Alan returned to his rental apartment and re-entered the game.
This time, he had been delayed for over three hours, slowing down his game progress.
But Alan didn't mind.
Next, the confrontation between David and Daniel would become more intense.
The NPCs in the newbie village were different from wild monsters; they wouldn't respawn after death.
Alan had already hunted five bosses, so he wondered how to deal with Daniel's subsequent tasks.
If he continued to hunt NPCs, he could easily do it with his strength.
But Alan didn't plan to do that because it would easily attract Daniel's attention, making it impossible to complete his subsequent tasks.
However, he was reluctant to give up on Daniel's current task.
After much deliberation, Alan decided to start hunting bosses from level 5 wild monsters.
From level 5 to level 9, there were five bosses. Hunting these five bosses and submitting the task might reduce the task rewards, but it was the safest approach.
With that in mind, Alan started grinding from the level 5 wild monster area.
He hunted all the way to level 9, killing five newbie village bosses.
Adding the previously hunted newbie village bosses, Alan had now killed ten bosses and could go to Daniel to submit the task.
In the newbie village, at the village chief's courtyard.
When Alan arrived, many players were submitting their tasks to leave the village.
At this point, ordinary players had gradually reached level 10. If it weren't for some still grinding in the Twisted Jungle, there would be even more people gathering here.
After they left, Alan approached Daniel.
"Daniel, I've killed ten bosses."
Alan submitted the task.
Daniel nodded in surprise. "Not bad. Ice King, I knew I wasn't wrong about you."
[You have completed Daniel's task.]
[Task rewards: Gold coins +20, Free attribute points +20, Luck +1, Eye of Purity +1.]
[Eye of Purity: Special equipment.]
[Requirements: None.]
[Effect: Pierce through the night and illusions, providing a large visible range even in fog.]
[Durability: 100.]
Alan's eyes lit up. This piece of equipment had no level requirement and was classified as special equipment.
With this effect, it was definitely a must-have skill for archers.
Currently, the game still had some visibility at night.
But after the cataclysm, visibility would be greatly reduced, turning into true darkness.
Some powerful adventurers were killed by TechNova System's monsters at night due to insufficient night vision.
