Chapter 718: Revised: Chapter 3 Miraculous Healing Cola Monarch

That’s right, Xiao Jie was here to clean Han Luo’s grave.

Back when Han Luo died, the Game Administration Bureau took care of the aftermath, so Xiao Jie didn’t get a chance to see him one last time.

In fact, Xiao Jie didn’t dare to see him one last time, how could Han Luo’s family face it? How could he face the miserable state of Han Luo’s corpse...

One has to know that the scene of Han Luo’s death had given Xiao Jie nightmares for several days...

Although the Game Administration Bureau gave him a reasonable explanation and assured him it wouldn’t cause him any trouble, no matter what, Han Luo died right beside him, and Xiao Jie couldn’t avoid the guilt.

In this regard, he was rather grateful to the Game Administration Bureau, at least they handled the aftermath cleanly, otherwise, facing various troubles would be harder for him than fighting desperately in the game.

Fortunately, now that he has avenged the great grudge, he finally had the courage to visit his old friend.

This time, he came to Beidou to attend the player conference, and coincidentally, Han Luo’s hometown was very close to Beidou, so he came to pay his respects.

Xiao Jie walked up the green stone steps heading uphill, this Daqing Mountain Cemetery was a serene place, indeed a good place to rest in peace.

As he walked through the gates of the cemetery to Han Luo’s grave, looking at the black and white photograph on the tombstone, Xiao Jie was filled with so many emotions, he didn’t know what to say.

He stared at the photo and name on the tombstone in silence. After a long while, Xiao Jie finally managed a difficult smile.

"Long time no see, Han Luo. I don’t know if you can hear these words, maybe I’m just talking to myself. I’m really sorry it was you who died, and in such a terrifying way. In those final moments before you died, I guess you must have been very scared.

Perhaps you already know the reasons behind all of this, like in those ghost movies we used to watch, doesn’t every ghost have many superpowers?

Of course, maybe you’re long gone by now, but don’t worry, I’ve avenged you. Liu Qiang has been brought down by me, though it’s a pity I couldn’t see the moment of his death..."

"Lately, I’ve been playing that game constantly. Liu Qiang was right about one thing, this game has great potential. If only you were still alive, we could have conquered it together."

As he said this, Xiao Jie paused for a moment. Had Han Luo not died, it might have been him instead. After all, neither of them knew about the death penalty of the game back then. Without any mental preparation, they wouldn’t have overly considered safety, one of them would eventually fall, or worse, they’d both be wiped out.

From this perspective, Han Luo’s death served as a warning to Xiao Jie, indirectly saving his life.

"I’m progressing well in the game. I’m almost on the verge of reaching the state of Cheng Xian. Though a fortuneteller once said my path to Cheng Xian would be nine deaths and one life, I think it’s going quite smoothly.

If I really do reach the state of Cheng Xian, maybe I can find a way to resurrect you. If that day comes, you must hold on and not rush to reincarnate. I will definitely find a way to bring you back.

Do you remember when we used to discuss while playing Demon Beast? What skills would be most valuable if we could use them in real life? Looking back now, Resurrection Technique is indeed the most practical..."

Xiao Jie rambled on, his tone light and casual, but he had little faith in all of this. So much time had passed, even if souls truly existed in this world, Han Luo’s must have dissipated by now, or perhaps been reincarnated—or gone to Heaven?

Who knows...

Xiao Jie knew very well that he wasn’t really saying these things for Han Luo to hear, but rather for himself. It was a way to comfort his own heart—look, I’ve tried so hard to save you, isn’t that enough to prove our brotherhood?

Xiao Jie couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless at the thoughts emerging in his mind. Sometimes understanding the human heart too well isn’t always a good thing; it’s easy to deceive others but much harder to deceive oneself.

He placed the prepared bouquet in front of the tombstone, waved at Han Luo’s picture, and said, "Goodbye, my brother, if there ever comes a chance for us to meet again."

He turned around and walked out of the cemetery with his head lowered, his thoughts still immersed in sadness. As he reached the gates and was about to descend the steps, a sudden shout jolted him back to reality.

"Jie?"

Xiao Jie was startled; for a moment, he almost didn’t react. He was so used to being called Feng, it had been a long time since anyone called him Jie. In his memory, only the brothers from the old gaming studio used to call him that.

Surprised, Xiao Jie turned his head and saw a young man with a beret standing at the bottom of the steps, looking at him with excitement.

"Gu Feiyu?"

Xiao Jie was a bit taken aback. Gu Feiyu was also a member of the old Wuji Studio, still a university student. Every summer vacation, he’d come to the studio for ’work-study’.

Gu Feiyu had excellent gaming skills and was very innovative, which was rare. Most professional players in gaming studios were just following routines, the true experts who could explore game secrets and create strategies were very rare.

Gu Feiyu was such a person. If he hadn’t played fewer games, Xiao Jie felt he might have been even better than himself.

Every time they explored new instances, Gu Feiyu could find many game loopholes (Evil Paths). It was said he studied mathematics at school and had a great talent for researching game data, but due to his studies, he could only work for about a month each year.
