Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 221 Talent Awakening

That night, everyone had their own thoughts on their minds.

Lin Wanchu busied herself with Lu Xue, cleaning her body and even taking her temperature with a thermometer.

The body temperature is abnormal, exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.

This is definitely not caused by drinking alcohol; it can only be a fever from catching a cold or from not being used to the local environment.

Lin Wanchu specially helped Lu Xue up and fed her fever-reducing medicine.

Lu Xue obediently swallowed the capsule with water, then pressed her cheek against Lin Wanchu's hand and gently rubbed it.

"Achu, it's so cold."

"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you."

As midnight approached, Lu Xue's fever did not improve despite taking antipyretics; in fact, her temperature was rising.

Lin Wanchu looked worried and sighed softly as she pressed her forehead against hers.

"Oh, it's all my fault."

Unexpectedly, it has come to this.

In the Nightmare Game, every player has the opportunity to awaken their talent.

Moreover, depending on individual physical condition, the awakening time may be earlier or later.

However, most ordinary people usually only awaken their talents after clearing ten dungeons.

However, not everyone has such a strong will; during the process of awakening one's talent, one may accidentally face death.

This is what is known as a failed awakening.

Some players may not be killed by monsters in the dungeon, but by themselves.

Although it sounds absurd, it is an undeniable fact.

Relatively speaking, the earlier one awakens, the stronger their talent.

When she entered the nightmare game and completed the fifth dungeon, she came out with the same persistent high fever.

Later, she learned that this was a sign of her awakening her talent.

She was sore all over and had almost lost consciousness, but she managed to stay alive.

Her awakened talent is closely related to reality.

Perhaps it's because she's a skilled mechanic in real life.

Her talent is called Midas Touch.

The talent description states that players can perfectly copy known items and modify them, and there is even a 0.01% chance of copying other players' talents.

Such talent is indeed very powerful, and she has earned a lot of points with this ability.

Some high-level guilds offered her exorbitant sums to recruit her, but she politely declined them all.

Almost no one knew about her talent, and of course, no one dared to.

If possible, Lin Wanchu would rather Lu Xue not have the ability to awaken her talent.

She couldn't bear to see Lu Xue suffer like this, even though she had already endured enough hardship in the first half of her life.

Lin Wanchu brushed aside Lu Xue's sweat-dampened bangs and tightly grasped her hand.

It's okay, no matter what, I will always be by your side.

Xiaoxue, please wake up soon!

Lu Xue's consciousness fluctuated between lucidity and confusion.

Thankfully, the familiar scent beside me made me feel at ease.

The following afternoon, Lu Xue's body temperature returned to normal, and her fever completely subsided.

Not only Lin Wanchu, but everyone else also subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Cuo pulled up a chair by the bed and sat back down, resting his chin on the back of the chair in a somewhat lazy manner.

He said in a very relaxed tone, "Back then, awakening my talent almost cost me my life."

"It's truly remarkable that she managed to pull through this time."

In her hazy state of consciousness, Lu Xue heard an indescribable buzzing sound in her ears.

The sound pierced her eardrums and went straight to her heart.

Sometimes it was a woman's soft sobs, sometimes a series of vicious curses.

She really wanted to open her eyes to see what it was.

But her eyelids remained heavy, as if someone was pressing down on her eyes, preventing her from opening them.

What followed was an overwhelming sense of suffocation.
