54: Strange Curse, Prototype of Alliance

Hospital.

"Your mother's surgery was successful, but..."

The Hospital Director, Zhang Qiang, Murong Mingyue's attending physician, looked at Qin Tian and said.

"But what?"

Qin Tian looked at Zhang Qiang.

"However, your mother is not yet well. She has another illness, similar to ALS, with progressive skeletal muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, fasciculations, and bulbar palsy, but it is even more severe."

"What? You didn't fail the surgery and are just saying that on purpose, are you?!"

Qi Meng stood beside Qin Tian, and hearing Zhang Qiang say that, he immediately became furious.

"Xiao Tian, tell your friend not to be impulsive. He misunderstood Doctor Zhang. Mom does have a strange illness, just as Doctor Zhang described, and it was already present before the surgery."

Murong Mingyue on the Hospital bed spoke, and Qin Tian also stopped Qi Meng.

"Are there any other methods?"

Qin Tian looked at Zhang Qiang.

Zhang Qiang was helpless, but in the end, he still shook his head: "With current medical technology, we cannot find the cause, nor can we treat it."

After speaking, Zhang Qiang suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly continued: "However, the real world has now been invaded by the game world. Perhaps in the game world, there will be a solution. I heard that in high-level areas, there are abnormal status removal potions. Perhaps they will be effective."

Abnormal status removal potion?

Qin Tian silently noted it down, then walked out of the ward.

Qi Meng quickly chased after him, but found that Qin Tian was already gone.

Qi Meng returned to the ward and sat down, somewhat puzzled as to why Qin Tian had suddenly left without a word.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Qin Tian returned, bringing a Goblin with him.

However, this Goblin was much smaller than Qin Tian's previous pet Goblin.

It was the size of a normal Goblin, but it looked very majestic, even more imposing than him.

The Goblin Clan's chief, Gobu Firm.

Qin Tian had just returned to the Goblin Home and brought him over.

Although this Goblin was not high-level, he had invented and created the teleportation device, and the Goblin's hometown was previously in a high-level area.

"Perhaps Gobu Firm will be helpful for Mother's treatment."

Qin Tian therefore sought him out.

Qin Tian's reputation among the Goblin Clan had now reached its peak, and he had also saved the Goblin Clan.

Hearing that he could help Qin Tian, Gobu Firm immediately put down everything he was doing and rushed over.

After a brief introduction of the situation, Gobu Firm walked to Murong Mingyue's bedside and carefully observed her.

"No, no, abnormal status removal potions are useless."

Gobu Firm made a judgment after a moment's observation.

"However, there is another way. This is not an illness; it's a curse, and an extremely powerful one. Only by finding the caster of the curse and killing it can she return to normal."

"Curse?"

Hearing Gobu Firm's words, Qin Tian was also stunned. His mother had actually been cursed, and with an extremely powerful curse?

"Yes, I've seen this kind of curse before, which is why I'm so certain. But you don't need to worry too much. This curse will strengthen as the cursed person's strength increases. According to your mother's current situation, as long as she doesn't level up, it doesn't matter if you ignore it."

"Once she levels up, it will be troublesome. The higher the level, the stronger the curse's power. To a certain extent, it will directly strip the cursed person of their strength and life to enhance its own power."

Hearing Gobu Firm's explanation, Zhang Qiang and Qi Meng both breathed a sigh of relief. If it was truly as he said, then it didn't matter if Murong Mingyue's curse was left alone; she could still age normally.

But Qin Tian didn't think that way. The game had already invaded the real world. In this dangerous world, there were also more opportunities, even opportunities for immortality.

As levels increased, various attributes improved, and life force would also strengthen, even rumored to grant eternal life.

The appearance of this curse undoubtedly made Murong Mingyue lose this opportunity.

Moreover, although the curse would not take Murong Mingyue's life now, it always felt like a sharp sword hanging over her head, causing unease.

Especially since the curse had already brought effects, as Zhang Qiang said, Murong Mingyue had already shown symptoms similar to ALS.

Qin Tian had to resolve this curse and let Murong Mingyue completely return to normal.

"Do you know who cast this curse?"

Qin Tian looked at Gobu Firm and asked.

"No, I don't know."

Gobu Firm scratched his head and continued: "However, it is said to be a strange race, a strange race extremely skilled in curse power, and many people have been cursed. Many people are looking for their traces, perhaps these people will know some news."

A strange race skilled in curse power?

"Xiao Tian, don't worry about me. It doesn't matter if it can't be lifted. I heard that the National War is about to begin. Are you planning to go?"

Murong Mingyue on the Hospital bed suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Mom, I will go."

"Good, good, that's how it should be. If you have the opportunity, you should serve your country."

Murong Mingyue's face showed a proud expression, but also some worry: "Before entering the battlefield, level up more, improve your equipment and strength more. Don't be distracted by my affairs anymore. Even if you want to find that strange race, you need to have the corresponding strength, don't you?"

"Don't worry, Mom, just rest and recuperate. Before the National War, I will definitely improve my strength as much as possible, and I will find that strange race."

Qin Tian looked at Murong Mingyue and said seriously.

Hearing Qin Tian say this, Murong Mingyue felt a little more at ease.

As a mother, she hoped Qin Tian could fight for the country, but she also didn't want Qin Tian to die on the battlefield.

After giving a few instructions to Zhang Qiang, he bid farewell to Murong Mingyue.

Qin Tian, Qi Meng, and Gobu Firm left together.

"You said you wanted to form an alliance, with the Goblin Clan?"

Hearing Qin Tian's suggestion, Qi Meng was also stunned.

It wasn't that he hadn't interacted with characters in the game world, but that was limited to human-like NPCs, various skill instructors, and quest-giving NPCs.

Forming an alliance with monsters like Goblins was something Qi Meng had never imagined.

However, he wasn't a stubborn person. Seeing Gobu Firm's respectful attitude towards Qin Tian, he also knew that Qin Tian's words weren't a whim, just for fun.

"Yes, after the alliance, both sides' strength will greatly increase. In this Beginner Area, we can basically achieve no opponents, allowing for better development. When necessary, we can enter the Goblin's instance world to avoid danger."

Qin Tian said seriously. This was a decision he had made after much consideration.

According to Cang Long, once the world barrier disappeared, the world would become even more chaotic. At that time, the Beginner Area, which had the weakest strength, would definitely be plagued by constant warfare.

After forming an alliance with the Goblin, they could also leverage the Ogre Clan's strength, allowing the Thunder Guild to develop faster before the world barrier disappeared.

And once the world barrier disappeared, they could also enter the Goblin world to temporarily avoid danger.

This was the fallback Qin Tian left for the Thunder Guild, and also for his mother.

This way, even if he encountered danger, he would be able to return to the Goblin Home immediately and resolve the trouble.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Although Qin Tian didn't explain much, Qi Meng knew that Qin Tian must have his reasons for doing so, and immediately agreed.

"You can discuss the specific matters. I have some other things to do."

Qin Tian had already told Gobu Firm about this on the way, and Gobu Firm agreed even faster than Qi Meng.

Qi Meng and Gobu Firm watched Qin Tian leave and began discussing the specifics of the cooperation.

Qin Tian, on the other hand, walked towards the west side of the main city, where the professional mentors gathered.

After changing his profession to [Human], he could finally go and learn skills.
