Chapter 55: The Angel’s Seed and a Sudden Transformation

Everything around him was utterly quiet.

Although a week had passed for Wang Tianming, not even a second had elapsed in the real world.

His fellow patients, his father, and the doctors and nurses were all doing exactly what they had been doing before he entered the game.

Moreover, a sudden wave of pain washed over him.

In the game, he had sustained no injuries, thus feeling no pain.

The game world’s pain protection system had also significantly dulled any discomfort, preventing him from losing consciousness at the slightest wound.

The thick wad of cash in his hand reminded Wang Tianming that it was time to deposit the money.

His urgency to enter the second game world stemmed from a suggestion by the Destiny System, which had hinted at the possibility of finding a way to move freely in the real world while within the game.

Upon reflection, the method that could allow him to move freely might just lie within the ‘Angel’s Seed’ he now held.

For now, there were no other options; he had merely acquired an additional 1,500 yuan since the last game ended, which did nothing to change his immobile state.

‘How am I supposed to use this thing? Even if it’s called an ‘Angel’s Seed,’ they can’t possibly expect me to plant it in the dirt, right? And even if I did, there wouldn’t be enough time for it to bear fruit!’

Wang Tianming fretted, idly turning the ‘Angel’s Seed’ over in his hand.

Unable to lift his arms or lower his head, he couldn’t properly examine the object.

‘They gave me this thing without any instructions; how am I supposed to know what to do with it?’

Wang Tianming began to recall how he had used the ‘Angel’s Seed’ back in the game.

While using an item in a game typically involved a simple sequence of clicking the item, then “Use,” and finally “Confirm,” his character had definitely performed a specific action during the process.

‘Eat it…? Or rub it between my hands? Should I… recite some kind of incantation?’

Wang Tianming mused, lost in thought.

‘None of those seem right… Was it… crushing it directly? Yes, that’s it—crushing it directly! But that was in the game; how could anyone in real life have the strength to crush it in one go, especially me, a patient who can’t exert any force?’

Despite his doubts, Wang Tianming instinctively clenched his right hand into a fist.

Suddenly, a surge of warmth flowed through his palm.

Though he could only see the ceiling, his peripheral vision caught a faint glimmer of white light.

‘Holy crap, is it working?!’

A jolt went through Wang Tianming, and he felt his entire body glowing and radiating heat, his heart even overflowing with love.

‘Could this be the legendary ‘powering up with love’ (TL Note: A humorous Chinese internet slang term, literally ‘generating electricity with love,’ often used to describe doing something with passion or for self-gratification.)?!’

Soon, Wang Tianming felt his body become incredibly light.

The pain in his body vanished, and sensation returned to his numb right leg.

This sensation was profoundly familiar to Wang Tianming; it was precisely how he felt after changing his class to ‘Angel’ in the game.

However, unlike in the game, the ‘Angel’ Wang Tianming had transformed into was the size of a normal human, not the half-human height seen in the game.

This transformation made it, or rather, made her movements much more convenient.

Wang Tianming felt the traction device on her leg fall away.

Her leg had become slender, causing the device to naturally slip off.

Fortunately, she quickly used her foot to secure the rope tightly, then slowly sat up and pulled the device onto the bed, preventing any significant noise.

At that moment, Wang Tianming noticed her entire body glowing.

This made her even more conspicuous in the pitch-black night.

She silently wished for the light to dim, and to her surprise, it instantly subsided.

Immediately after, Wang Tianming discovered that her clothes had also changed.

Her hospital gown was gone, replaced by the long angelic dress she wore in the game.

While she found this incredibly magical, Wang Tianming reminded herself that this was no time for dawdling; her priority was to quickly go out and deposit the money.
