429: Are you kidding me?

Chapter 429: Are You Kidding Me, Kid?

Cheng Maixiang was thus dragged onto the back of the Abyssal Bone Dragon.

This was also the first time Cheng Maixiang had ridden a dragon in her life!

Even if it was a Bone Dragon!

But this feeling was something humans had never experienced before.

For Professional Practitioners, it might be easier to accept.

But it's important to remember that just a few days ago, Cheng Maixiang and her world were ordinary technology-based worlds.

Suddenly, all sorts of monsters were running rampant, and dragons were flying in the sky.

This direct impact was absolutely not to be underestimated.

But at this moment,

What Cheng Maixiang cared about most was her illness.

When it came to treating her illness, Cheng Maixiang naturally wanted to be cured, otherwise, she wouldn't have been so easily swindled by the monks of Tianlong Gate back then.

But it was after Tianlong Gate swindled her that she recognized reality and resigned herself to fate.

Because she knew that she definitely couldn't be cured; cancer was cancer, late-stage was late-stage, it wasn't that easy.

However, Lu Ran swore that he could cure her.

Cheng Maixiang dared not believe it, fearing that the hope she had just gained would be shattered again.

A few hours later, the three returned to the Imperial Capital.

This was also Cheng Maixiang's first time coming to a Professional Practitioner's main city.

Everything here was completely different from her own city.

On the streets, people bustled about, and various Professional Practitioners came and went in their professional gear.

There were also life Professional Practitioners doing business, hawking their wares.

"See? For the world of Professional Practitioners, you are not dependents; life Professional Practitioners don't need to fight and can still live very well. Low-level life Professional Practitioners, like chefs, you should understand that only food prepared by high-level chefs will have attribute bonuses, but the price is expensive. Low-level life Professional Practitioners who are chefs are ordinary chefs, preparing meals to improve skill proficiency, and they can also survive. This world is like this; as long as they are human, they can always find a way to live," Lu Ran said to Cheng Maixiang.

The reason he said this was because Cheng Maixiang had previously mentioned that the humans who had just merged into this world, who were not Professional Practitioners, seemed to feel like outsiders, independent of this world, and a kind of accessory.

But in fact, everyone has their own will, and it's not difficult to survive.

Professional Practitioners leveling up, clearing dungeons, acquiring equipment, buying and selling, are all just for the sake of living better.

Cheng Maixiang nodded numbly.

The impact of the new worldview was still too great for her in a short period of time.

She couldn't quite accept it for a while.

Not long after,

They arrived at the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters.

Liu Xinxin and the others, upon hearing the news of Lu Ran's return, immediately rushed over excitedly.

In the office,

Ye Hongyi eagerly asked, "What did you do on this trip? What were the results? Did you gain anything?"

Lu Ran said with a smile, "It's a long story. The most urgent matter, Sister Xin, is to help me with something."

Liu Xinxin was startled.

She nodded and said, "What's there to say between us? Tell me, what is it?"

Lu Ran pointed at Cheng Maixiang and said, "You should also be able to tell that she is not a Professional Practitioner. Let's not talk about how we met for now. You can check her buff."

Cheng Maixiang herself couldn't see that debuff.

But Professional Practitioners could.

Liu Xinxin glanced at her and was immediately startled.

She said in surprise, "Cancer? This is the first time I've seen this debuff."

Lu Ran shrugged and said, "Yes, in their world, that's cancer, and it needs to be treated through a hospital. But after Datafication, since it exists as a debuff, I think there should be a better solution."

Cheng Maixiang looked at Liu Xinxin, completely dumbfounded.

This sister could tell she had cancer with just a glance?

Good heavens.

Are Professional Practitioners that powerful?

Liu Xinxin nodded understandingly and said, "I understand what you mean. I'll try. Of course, if it can't be resolved, then it might be that Professional Practitioners are different from these newly merged people in this world."

This was called putting the unpleasant truth out there first.

Dispelling was an easy task for Liu Xinxin.

But if it didn't work, Lu Ran bringing someone back from so far away, only for the problem to be unresolved, would still be somewhat disappointing.

So Liu Xinxin said it beforehand.

"Give it a try. I think it should be fine," Lu Ran nodded.

A staff immediately appeared in Liu Xinxin's hand.

Cheng Maixiang didn't quite understand how the Professional Practitioner world operated.

Seeing Liu Xinxin preparing to act, she quickly stood up and said, "Do I need surgery? Then... do I need to explain my condition? Also, where will the surgery be performed?"

Huh?

Liu Xinxin was startled.

Surgery?

What nonsense.

"You don't need to do anything, young lady, just stand there," Liu Xinxin comforted her.

Then she casually cast a Dispel skill.

The next second,

A green light bloomed from Cheng Maixiang's body, rising upwards.

A few seconds later, Liu Xinxin and the others looked at Cheng Maixiang.

Indeed!

At this moment, the debuff on Cheng Maixiang had disappeared!

In that case, was she cured?

Lu Ran and Liu Xinxin exchanged glances, looking at each other in dismay.

But the one who felt it most deeply was still Cheng Maixiang.

So,

Lu Ran asked, "How do you feel?"

Huh?

Cheng Maixiang was startled. What did he mean, 'how do you feel'? Was it over already?

This was treatment?

It felt even less reliable than Tianlong Gate, simply a charlatan!

But then,

Cheng Maixiang felt it.

The pain of liver cancer was constant; she had long grown accustomed to it and had been enduring it, almost as a normal state.

But at this moment, she felt completely comfortable, light, without a trace of pain!

This was very obvious!

It was like a severe cold, and in an instant, that feeling of weakness completely vanished, and her whole person became vibrant again!

This...

"I... I... I feel like I'm already well," Cheng Maixiang said with wide eyes.

She never would have imagined!

The treatment process was this?

It was this simple?

Although she couldn't believe it, she truly felt it firsthand: her body had completely recovered!

"That's good, the debuff has disappeared, you're fine now," Lu Ran nodded.

It was that magical.

This was the advantage of the Datafication World.

When a debuff disappears, bodily functions are directly altered due to the change in data, without needing a recovery process.

"That's great! I'm really well!" Cheng Maixiang could increasingly feel the vitality in her body, a long-lost vitality!

This also meant that,

Cheng Maixiang could have time to accompany her father, wouldn't have to die, and wouldn't have to think about how her father would live after her death, or if he could accept the news.

"Thank you, Lu Ran, thank you, Sister Xin, truly thank you," Cheng Maixiang was almost in tears.

"It's nothing. Since you're Lu Ran's friend, you're one of us. It's no big deal, as long as you're well," Liu Xinxin said comfortingly.

Afterwards,

After temporarily settling Cheng Maixiang down,

Lu Ran returned to the room and recounted his experiences during the journey.

Lei Tai was the first to exclaim, "Holy cow, are you kidding me, kid? A second profession?"
