Virus King - Chapter 211

Chapter 211: Puppeteer! Return to Red Star Psychiatric Hospital!

TL: YYang

[Your Han King: Holy crap! White God has appeared!]

[Yezi: @White, could you share your thoughts and experiences on being the first to complete a profession transfer? Any advice for the group?]

[Shui Chuan: White God, did you transfer into Scourge of the Living? The forums are buzzing about it right now!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Everyone step aside, don’t block me! I need to get closer to worship! Also, hahaha, I know some details about Lord Bai’s transfer, but I can’t spill the beans! All I can say is, it’s absolutely insane!]

[I’m Really Not a Sword Immortal: What the hell is Old Thunder even talking about?!]

Chen Bai stared at the replies in the group chat, particularly at that Thunder Saint from his past life. What was this guy rambling about?

He claimed to know the details of his profession transfer!?

[Bai: @Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip, ???]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Waaah, being mentioned by Lord Bai feels like a dream come true! When the God of Trade handed me the Thunder Strider Profession Transfer Scroll, he mentioned you. He said he also had some investment dealings with you! Brother Bai, did you really transfer like that!?]

So Redo had investment tasks with this guy too!?

It seemed like this Thunder Saint had extraordinary luck in this lifetime!

Moreover, this wasn’t hard to deduce. After all, when Chen Bai had encountered Redo, he shared some details with the group, including the investment connections.

It made sense that some sharp-eyed individuals would figure out the existence of the Dual-Profession Transfer Scroll.

[Bai: Hmm, I guess my luck wasn’t bad.]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: Holy crap! This is why you’re the White God! Even under such circumstances, you were the first to complete a profession transfer. My admiration for you is like the endless flow of the Yellow River…]

[Crow: What riddles are you spouting now?]

[Lu Fei Fei Fei Fei: Riddle-speakers, get out!]

[Heir to the Five-Strike Lightning Whip: I can’t help it. This whole situation is just too mind-blowing! I can’t reveal too much. All I’ll say is, Lord Bai is incredible. No wonder Redo gives you so much face…]

[Your Han King: Hey, can we stop derailing the topic? Lord Bai, you mentioned earlier that you’d help me level up. Were you serious?!]

Ah, the ever-frank Han Xiao.

Chen Bai chuckled softly.

[Bai: I happen to be heading back to the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital. There’s still an untriggered hidden mission there that I want to complete. If anyone else is in Magic City, they can join us. The more, the merrier.]

[Crow: Lord Bai, how about letting Meng Meng link us up? That way, we can all witness your current strength and that hidden mission. After all, I was part of the last run too!]

[Bai: Forget it. When I return to Magic City later, I might need Meng Meng’s help. Better for her to conserve her strength. If not, we’ll just leave it at that.]

[Your Han King: Looks like only I will get to experience the final secret of the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital with Lord Bai…]

[Crow: Waaaah, don’t leave me out…]

Chen Bai had no intention of involving Meng Meng. It wasn’t just any random reason—Yan Qi’s participation made it impossible to use Meng Meng to access the dungeon.

Besides, Chen Bai didn’t want Yan Qi and Meng Meng to have any interactions.

However, just as Chen Bai thought everything was settled, a name suddenly lit up in the chat:

[Ding Ding: Um, I’m in Magic City right now. Lord Bai, can you wait for me? I can head over right away!]

Huh!?

This person, a Puppeteer who became quite famous in the previous life, was actually in Magic City right now!?

Interestingly, Chen Bai hadn’t had much interaction with her in his past life. Even in Group Chat No. 001, Ding Ding rarely spoke. Compared to more talkative members like Thunder Five-Strike Whip and Han Xiao, she was practically a ghost.

[Your Han King: Wait, Ding Ding is in Magic City?! Come meet up with us, quick!]

[Ding Ding: I wanted to go to the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital last time, but I missed the chance. No way I’m missing it this time!]

[Yezi: Argh, so jealous! Just imagining meeting Lord Bai in person makes me so excited I can’t keep my legs together! Lord Bai, when will you come to Rong City and sweep me off my feet?]

Ignoring Yezi’s usual antics, Chen Bai quickly replied:

[Bai: @Ding Ding, just send me your location. I’ll pick you up. I still need to swing by Han Xiao’s place anyway, so it might even be on the way.]

Before long, Ding Ding sent her coordinates. Wasting no time, Chen Bai grabbed Yan Qi and left the villa.

Meanwhile, he instructed Yan Xue to stay safely hidden in the basement of the villa.

Before long, Chen Bai saw the Puppeteer who had been somewhat famous in his previous life.

She was a rather ordinary-looking girl, but that was to be expected. Talent and strength didn’t necessarily correlate with appearance.

The only slightly notable detail was the location where she had been waiting—it was a shop selling funeral supplies.

Paper effigies, burial shrouds, wreaths—all sorts of items related to funerary rites were displayed.

It seemed clear that one’s talent was closely tied to their personal affinities and abilities.

Her real name was Ding Butong.

It wasn’t a particularly remarkable or memorable name.

But a name was just a label, after all.

“Thank you so much, Lord Bai, for personally coming to pick me up!” she said gratefully.

“I happened to be passing by. I didn’t expect you’d be in Magic City too. Perfect timing—let’s head to find Han Xiao.”

Han Xiao had already been preparing himself in the chat group for a while.

At this moment, Han Xiao was visibly thrilled.

He was just a hair’s breadth away from reaching level 10!

He needed less than 10,000 experience points to level up.

Once he hit Level 10, he could finally use the Hell Envoy Profession Transfer Scroll he had been holding onto.

With the transfer, as Sword Immortal would often put it, he would step into another realm—a whole new level. Numerous new abilities would transform him into an entirely different person!

Naturally, Han Xiao was excited.

Extremely excited.

When Chen Bai arrived at Han Xiao’s residential complex, the guy was already standing boldly at the gate, waiting for him.

It was clear that the zombies roaming around posed no threat to him anymore.

“Lord Bai, you’re still the best!”

Seeing Chen Bai’s arrival, the fat boy dashed over with a grin plastered on his face, his eyes brimming with eagerness.

Chen Bai shot him a glance but, recalling the potential situations they might encounter later, decided to give him a heads-up:

“Once we’re inside, pay close attention to your quest log. If there are any updates, make sure to let me know immediately.”

“No problem!” Han Xiao promised confidently.

After receiving Han Xiao’s assurance, Chen Bai brought both him and Ding Butong, along with Yan Qi—who remained hidden within the Hell King’s Ring—to the entrance of the Red Star Psychiatric Hospital dungeon once again.
