It was as if something vital had been stripped from her soul, causing her to lose the talent for awakening.
Her S-grade plant-based talent had vanished.
Next came her constitution attribute points.
In an instant, Chu Fu felt herself growing weak. Her face turned pale, and she visibly withered.
Her body grew heavy, no longer possessing the agility of a healthy frame.
Her constitution and agility were gone.
"Fufu!" Chu Feng grabbed Chu Fu's hand, his eyes bloodshot, on the verge of tears.
But then, the next moment—
Chu Fu blinked.
"I..." Chu Fu said in astonishment, "I'm not a plant anymore!"
She was no longer locked in that dark little room.
She had regained her consciousness.
She was merely weak, with low attributes, but she had woken up.
In reality, as long as someone with locked-in syndrome wakes up, it means they've recovered.
Because Chu Fu had experienced the abilities from the game, her awakening still affected her.
"Fufu! Thank goodness, you're okay, you're okay!" Chu Feng exclaimed, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Wow! Awesome, Plant Girl!"
Jiao Jiao and the others were thrilled too.
Just then, Jiao Jiao's phone rang. She picked it up unhurriedly, saw the saved number, and finally answered.
It was the salesperson from Wangxi Estate she had added yesterday.
Since she still needed time to deal with her real estate and assets, Jiao Jiao hadn't bought a house yet.
But she had already asked about the prices.
The salesperson had been very cold, only sending basic info after adding her, and hadn't followed up much.
After all, people who could afford an estate were rare.
Now that Chu Fu was no longer a plant, what better reason to celebrate?
Might as well finalize the house.
She answered the call.
A very enthusiastic voice came through.
"Hello, Ms. Huang. I'm a salesperson from Wangxi Estate. You previously expressed interest in our estate's houses. Now, we're having a massive promotion—everything is 50% off! You can buy an estate at half price.
The original 12.8 million yuan, 320-square-meter standalone villa is now only 6.4 million!
The original 22.4 million yuan, 580-square-meter estate villa is now only 11.2 million!
The original 40.32 million yuan, 1,020-square-meter garden villa is now only 20.16 million!
And the prestige villa, only 9 of these in the whole complex, covering 2,050 square meters!
First come, first served. Original price 80.64 million, now only 40.32 million!
Finally, the super prestige villa is also being sold at a massive discount—original price 172 million, now only 86 million! Only one in the whole complex! Don't miss out!"
Jiao Jiao was stunned by the barrage of prices.
Then, she instinctively asked, "What's the down payment percentage?"
"Thirty percent. You only need 30% down. For the most basic model, just 1.92 million to take it home!"
Jiao Jiao tried to do the math in her head but couldn't figure it out.
She gave up.
"Hang on. I'll come find you to buy it later. I'm busy now, gotta go!"
Jiao Jiao excitedly said to Chu Fu, "Plant Girl, Wangxi Estate suddenly lowered prices! They're having a clearance sale at 50% off, and you can get a 30% down payment. Should we go all in and buy?"
Chu Feng was taken aback.
Wangxi Estate? Wasn't that Wan Huanyu's base for the Wanhuan Guild?
And Jiao Jiao, his sister, wanted to buy it?
Why would she even think of buying that, especially when she was still a plant?
For a moment, Chu Feng looked at Chu Fu, his eyes filled with a probing curiosity. He asked tentatively, "Fufu, why do you want to buy that estate over there?"
In an instant,
Chu Fu felt the atmosphere around her freeze.
Meeting Chu Feng's gaze, she trembled all over.
How could she explain?
Could she say she was reborn and knew the secret? But the original Chu Fu's past life ended on the first day of the game's invasion.
She had no knowledge of Wangxi Estate.
And if she said she had transmigrated from a novel...
Chu Feng cared so much about his sister. If he found out that his sister's fragile soul had already dissipated, and that an otherworldly soul now occupied her body, would he accept it?
In that moment, Chu Fu's mind spun wildly, and she ultimately decided to tell a white lie.
She leaned close to Chu Feng, cupping her hand around his ear, and whispered, "Brother, if the game really does descend into reality, besides the monsters, wouldn't the beginner village also descend?
Our 030 server is Wangxi Village, which corresponds to the Wangxi Scenic Area. I'm just betting on it!"
Chu Feng paused for a second, then quickly accepted this explanation.
That was right—Chu Fu was correct. Wangxi Village was indeed the corresponding server for Server 030.
Back then, that server was controlled by one of Wan Huanyu's capable subordinates, Huanyu Kuangba.
With his aggressive and domineering style, he forced all players in the beginner village to join the Wanhuan Studio, and successfully won the village defense battle.
Although after the battle, Huanyu Kuangba's reputation was ruined—he was even criticized for defaulting on player wages—he didn't care at all.
Especially after the game invaded reality.
Because Wangxi Estate became the largest residential area within the beginner village's landing zone, he scored a major achievement for the Wanhuan Group.
As a reborn player, Chu Feng hadn't even thought to seize Wan Huanyu's Wangxi Estate first.
Because he had been focused on developing in the game, knowing that money now was just useless paper.
Later, when the Blue Star's land area expanded, he could just grab territory with sheer power.
But thinking about it now, uprooting Wan Huanyu's foundation would be fantastic!
"Fufu is really smart!" Chu Feng praised, then turned to Jiao Jiao.
"My sister isn't in great shape and she's injured. Let her get on the game first. I'll go with you to buy the house!"
"Sure!"
Jiao Jiao immediately agreed.
As for Chu Fu, Chu Feng decided to temporarily leave her at the e-Sports University.
What e-Sports University was this?
This was essentially a military zone!
It was definitely safe enough.
...
Beginner Village 0308888.
Chu Fu logged in and first checked the level rankings.
It was already the fourth day since the game launched.
She had been out of the game for three hours. Not much had changed on the rankings, though most players had already reached level 4.
Xie Lin, Shen Chi, and Suture Saint all needed to return home before logging in.
So Chu Fu opened her flight wings and flew toward the tiger king's area.
On the way, she asked Li Weizheng about the instant respawn point for level 10 monsters, the colorful tiger.
As the head of Linjiang City's e-Sports University, Li Weizheng naturally had access to more detailed strategies—ones discovered by his team of warriors through ground searches.
Chu Fu planned to grind monsters there to earn the achievement of 100,000 kills.
What Chu Fu didn't notice was that as she flew over the forest of red-eyed rabbits, a player with a name so dark red it was nearly black was down below.
ImmobileKing!
"Why isn't anything happening?"
"Then why were they collecting kills?"
ImmobileKing frowned deeply.
Soon enough, a wolfman cloaked in a black robe approached him.
