Chapter 23: Adding New Characters
You You kicked the monster over a dozen times, shrinking the mountain-sized giant beast down to a dog-like form. The group finally saw its true appearance—a White-furred monster resembling a lion, encircled by dancing crimson flames around its neck that mimicked the earlier tentacles. Its long vine-like tail ended in flickering flames, while three eyes stared from its head topped with a tiny sprout. The perfect fusion of fire and wood attributes marked it as extraordinary… if not for the patches of missing fur, bruised body, dying tail flames, and bare sprout.
"Captain!" Liu Qing’s sharp cry snapped You You from her rage.
She halted mid-kick, remembering Lin Feng’s injuries. Turning, she found him bleeding heavily in Liu Qing’s arms, the crimson pool spreading across both their clothes.
"How is he?" Her throat tightened.
"The bleeding won’t stop!" Liu Qing’s hands fluttered helplessly over Lin Feng’s charred back. "Captain, what do we do?"
"Apply pressure! Who has bandages?" You You demanded.
Teammates shook their heads grimly. "Internal injuries… Even gods couldn’t save him now."
"We haven’t tried yet!"
Silence answered her.
"Move." Xun Rong pushed through, hands weaving seals. Golden light enveloped Lin Feng’s wounds, slowing the blood flow. The spell left Xun Rong translucent and sweating.
"This only buys time." His voice strained. "He needs a Revitalizing Pill or Healing Potion."
"Where would we find—"
You You’s breath caught. The red medicine she’d given Lin Feng earlier… but her System inventory showed None. Modern medicine couldn’t fix this either. Lin Feng was dying because of her.
The blood’s metallic tang burned her eyes. She forced calm. Revitalizing Pill… Revitalizing Technique? Her useless game skills—
Wait.
How had she defeated the little monster?
Memories resurfaced—floral rain, the beast’s howls. Her game’s ultimate move: Flame Prison Flower Rain. When had she gained this power?
(⊙_⊙)
Flower rain… Her fingers twitched with realization.
She had just used a skill!
So the question remained… how exactly did she activate it?
You You took a deep breath, replaying the earlier events in her mind. She’d been furious at that moment, then… swore out loud!
It went something like: "Motherf*ing… B?"
Wait!
B?
She remembered… wasn’t the B key the shortcut for Flame Prison Flower Rain skill? In the game, players pressed keys to cast skills!
Could it be… all her game abilities required shouting keyboard shortcuts to activate?!
You You glanced at the dying Lin Feng on the ground, then at her despairing teammates. She clenched her teeth. Regardless of how absurd it seemed, she had to try!
The Revitalizing Technique required a key combination – two letters pressed in sequence.
She stretched her hand over Lin Feng’s body, took another breath, and clearly enunciated two letters:
"S! B!"
Xun Rong: "……"
Liu Qing: "……"
Everyone: "……"
( ̄△ ̄;)
An awkward silence fell over the room…
Though they didn’t understand the words, it somehow sounded like an insult.
"Miss You…" Liu Qing began, but golden light suddenly erupted from You You’s palm. The intense glow gilded the bloodstained ground and shattered Xun Rong’s blood-clotting formation. Lin Feng’s body became wrapped in radiance, his bone-deep wounds healing at visible speed as if time itself reversed. Within moments, unbroken skin covered his back.
The spectators gaped at this miracle. The golden light didn’t just heal injuries – it kept pouring into Lin Feng’s body, forming faint tendril-like shapes beneath his skin as something new took root.
The glow lasted mere seconds before fading. Lin Feng awoke, staring at his restored body in shock. The deathly pallor had vanished, replaced by healthy complexion.
"Boss!" Liu Qing urgently checked his injuries. "You’re… unharmed?!"
"Lin Feng?" You You asked anxiously, first-time skill use making her nervous. "Feel anything different?"
The man turned slowly toward her, dazed expression gradually focusing. "Yes… something’s changed." He raised his palm – crackling electricity sparked to life above it.
"That’s… magic?!" Liu Qing’s voice shook. "Does this mean you’ve…"
"I’ve gained spiritual roots!" Lin Feng confirmed.
Silence gripped the room. Then all heads swiveled toward You You, dozens of eyes bulging with disbelief.
You You: "……"
What now? Did her healing cause side effects?
(O_O)
Before she could speak, Lin Feng suddenly knelt facing her, forehead nearly touching the ground in deepest reverence.
"Lin Feng, first son of Shangyang City’s Lin family from the Immortal Realm’s Red Zhou territory, pays homage to the celestial maiden!"
Like dominos falling, the crowd scrambled back and prostrated themselves.
"Homage to the celestial maiden!" *N
Confused You You: "……"
What’s happening?!
Another weird persona forced upon her?!
