Chapter 13: Recovery Spring

The Babel Tower had nine floors, with a construction area of 100 square meters on each floor. The Recovery Spring was located on the second floor, occupying half of the area.

The Recovery Spring was a relatively large facility in the Babel Tower. “It’s just a spring. Why build it so large?” Bai Yan couldn’t figure it out.

Fortunately, once the first Recovery Spring was established, there was no need to occupy additional space when building springs for males and others.

[10 energy points deducted.]

He gritted his teeth lightly. He was still dozens of points away from a new ten summons. He really wanted to open more foundations.

“Calm down. Foundations aren’t that urgent. I have to summon another operator to complete the weekly mission.”

In the early stages of Babel Tower, players could complete five weekly missions in one week. However, each operator could only participate in three weekly missions, so Bai Yan had to summon another operator to complete the missions with Nightsaber as soon as possible.

The reward for each weekly mission was 30 energy points. If he couldn’t complete the remaining two missions, he would be distressed about losing 60 points.

There were no restrictions for daily missions. Nightsaber could undergo training continuously.

He calculated that he could earn 290 energy points per week, including 140 points from daily missions and 150 points from weekly missions. Combined with the points from each battle, he could summon ten times each week. Bai Yan felt satisfied.

“Queen of Scarlet Moon, you belong to me!” Bai Yan muttered.

‘Give me Queen of Scarlet Moon, please!’ Bai Yan prayed in his heart.

Nightsaber was the most powerful operator in the late stage, and Queen of the Scarlet Moon was undoubtedly the strongest operator in the early stage. As a powerful leader of the Blood, her initial attributes were extremely high, with a significant gap between her and Nightsaber.

Bai Yan sat up in bed and drank a glass of water. Afterward, he picked up his phone and walked out of the apartment. The plants in the suburban park were flourishing. The street was clean, without any leaves. Residents nearby liked to hang out here.

He sat on the bench and opened the game. There was already a notice that Nightsaber had to leave the Recovery Spring. Bai Yan checked her information again and found that Nightsaber’s mood had directly increased to 8!

[Primary Recovery Spring. Boosts operators’ mood to 8 and above.]

After soaking in the spring, operators’ moods would rise to 8 and above with the same energy point cost. Therefore, the most profitable strategy was to “squeeze” the operators until they were on the verge of breaking down, then put them in the spring when their mood dropped to 1.

Bai Yan felt relieved that the 10 points weren’t wasted. Next, he would continue to push Nightsaber to complete the mission. Before that, some of the energy points he earned would be used on Nightsaber, of course. Both of them had a bright future.

The warm breeze blew across his face. Bai Yan opened the popular video website on his phone and browsed videos from the Babel Tower account.

Some netizens were arguing in the comment section of the latest video.

Noonerepeat: Hey! These videos must be real. WHY DON’T YOU BELIEVE IT?!

Cutesweetfish: LOL. Give me money, and I’ll believe you.

Thebeginningofallsorrow: TIP ME OFF!!!

Noonerepeat: Fine. Believe what you want.

Bai Yan suspected there were website officials in the comments trying to divert attention. They didn’t want users discussing this. But this matter couldn’t be suppressed forever. Paper could never wrap up fire, and people would discover the truth sooner or later.

“I have to go to class.”

Although he was aware of the supernatural’s existence, Bai Yan still decided to attend school as usual. He didn’t want to be perceived as different.

In the neglected villa, withered leaves fell to the ground.

Mu Ling stood in the courtyard, continuously practicing her sword techniques.

She practiced for a while, then suddenly froze. She was mentally exhausted, so why did she continue practicing? And she could even feel an inexplicable joy as she practiced.

That was weird. Mu Ling felt that she was out of her mind.

The black hound that her father had raised suddenly came to her mind. After a period of training, the dog had become obedient.

“Urgh! I’m not a dog!” Mu Ling quickly shook her head and shuddered, pushing this terrifying thought away.

The familiar male voice sounded in her head again. Mu Ling subconsciously tensed up!

[Nightsaber, you’ll enter the Recovery Spring of the Babel Tower and heal your broken body and mind.]

“Recovery Spring? What’s that?” Mu Ling was slightly stunned.

In the next moment, everything around her began to fall apart. She felt all the visual elements disintegrate and reassemble. An overwhelming sense of displacement made Mu Ling realize she had been teleported. It was as if she were in a totally different place. Perhaps she wasn’t in the real world anymore.

When everything miraculously reformed, Mu Ling found herself on a golden beach surrounded by white fog. The fog enveloped everything around her, and even the three suns in the sky were hidden. Seeing the three dazzling golden balls of light, she was certain she was definitely not in Noah.

“Is this the Babel Tower?” Mu Ling froze for a moment. She suddenly realized she could speak and that the Savior wasn’t manipulating her this time.

‘I’m free!’ Although she was in a strange place, she still felt happy about the freedom.

“So this is what the interior of the Babel Tower looks like. I couldn’t tell it was a tower at all.” She looked at the three suns. Was this magical scene real?

Mu Ling was extremely shocked and remained speechless for a long time.

“Whoosh.” She heard the sea waves, and a faint salty smell reached her nostrils. Beside the golden beach was the ocean. In the endless blue sea, the swells curled with white foam as if there was a special magic that tempted people to enter. White clouds swirled around it, making her realize this sea of clouds was not normal.

“This is a spring?

You called this sea a spring?

I have to soak in it, right?”

The situation was too bizarre, and she couldn’t relax at all. Additionally, Mu Ling didn’t know if the Savior was secretly observing her, so she didn’t remove her clothes.

She took a deep breath and walked into the sea as calmly as possible.

‘What’s this?’

The moment she entered the sea, she felt unprecedented comfort! The fatigue in her body was being drawn away bit by bit. Depression, anger, sadness… all the negative emotions in her heart were being extracted after she walked into the endless sea.

“It feels so good…” She couldn’t help but close her eyes.

Mu Ling felt all her cells were melting and gradually becoming one with the sea. She was comforted gently as if she had returned to her mother’s womb. Unknowingly, tears fell from her cheeks.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally opened her eyes again and found herself still standing in the courtyard, having not moved at all. She felt better than ever before.

Mu Ling revealed an extremely rare smile. She felt even more grateful and in awe of the Savior. This was the power of the Babel Tower. Or rather, the power of the Savior.

“Amazing! Could the Savior be a superpower above the Heaven Enlightenment?”

She thought of the suspected “Savior” at school and began to wonder if she was overthinking. That young man might only have the same voice as the Savior. After all, he looked like a normal person.

She couldn’t shake the feeling that she should make sure. So, she decided to go to school.
